When he returned to the Martial Arts Practice Field, the award ceremony was just about to end. Chen Hao was the last to enter the arena and receive the huge reward of being first on the Rookie List. Shu Ya took the little girl Xuan Ying and directly followed Chen Hao and the others out of the Imperial Palace.
Chen Hao already knew the little girl Xuan Ying's identity. After learning of her purpose, he readily agreed and carved the little girl's high-quality Purple Crystal Jade into a statue of the Empire's Emperor, Xuan Cangfeng. There were still a few small pieces left. He very kindly carved one of them into a jade pendant similar to his sister Chen Yan's. As for the rest, he kept them as part of his reward.
… …
Whoosh!
Five days later.
A young man's figure flew through the void as fast as lightning and appeared above a huge city at the border of the Zhenyuan Kingdom.
Gazing at the city that had undergone earth-shattering changes, the young man revealed a trace of surprise even though he already knew the news.
The young man's clothes were as white as snow and his long hair fluttered in the wind. He was extraordinarily handsome. His slightly gentle but angular face naturally exuded a cold aura. His black and deep eyes were like the stars in the night sky, shining brightly.
This young man was not just anyone. It was Chen Hao, who had returned from the Xuanwu Empire.
There were only about three months left before the token would be activated. At that time, he would enter another level of time. It was unknown when he would be able to return again.
Chen Hao, who had not returned for three years, returned to the Royal New Show Hall. When he learned that Helian Wuzi, Mo Yuyi, Xiao Ling 'er, Xiao Jiyan, Xiao Jishan, Xiao Jifei, and the others who had just joined the Royal New Show Hall, Chen Hao directly returned to Yunzhou County.
Gazing at the huge city below him, familiar figures appeared in his mind one after another, causing ripples of excitement to appear in Chen Hao's usually calm mind.
… …
"Hmm?"
The headquarters had already been moved to the core of the Cloud State County. Deep in the inner courtyard of the Xiao family, in an exquisite and elegant courtyard, a middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes was watering the flowers. Suddenly, he frowned slightly and looked up into the sky. A faint smile appeared on the middle-aged man's ordinary face. Then, as if he did not see anything, he continued to water the flowers. However, his slightly trembling hand revealed the excitement in his heart.
…
Chen Hao's Divine Sense slowly swept across the Xiao Clan. What made Chen Hao feel gratified was that the entire Xiao Clan actually contained an extremely powerful array formation, causing the Heaven and Earth Spirit Qi within the Xiao Clan to be several times denser than the outside world.
…
"Hey! Hey! Hi! "
In the Xiao Clan's Martial Arts Practice Field, thousands of young men and women were in high spirits. Under the leadership of a stalwart middle-aged man and several instructors, they were performing uniform movements. It was obvious that these disciples had only joined the sect for half a year. However, their auras were much stronger than the Xiang generation disciples from three years ago.
Among them, the auras of the youngest boy and girl were clearly stronger than all the new disciples. They were already on the verge of breaking through to Martial Warrior.
Looking at the familiar scene, Chen Hao withdrew his aura and silently appeared at the edge of the Martial Arts Practice Field.
The middle-aged man standing on the high platform was the head instructor, Xiao Guan.
When Xiao Guan saw the young men and women beside Chen Hao, his pupils shrank and his eyes widened in shock. At this moment, he was already a ninth grade Martial Emperor and had already been promoted to an inner court elder. However, he was still the head instructor of the outer court disciples of the Xiao Clan. What surprised him was that there was actually someone who could silently approach the Martial Arts Practice Field!
How could he not be shocked?
However, when he saw the young man who did not emit any aura, Xiao Guan's shock and slight nervousness immediately turned into a frown, and then an intense joy.
"Chen Hao … You're Chen Hao?"
"Disciple Chen Hao greets Head Instructor Xiao!" Chen Hao smiled and clasped his fist at the shocked Xiao Guan.
"Hahaha … Good!" Xiao Guan hurriedly bowed to Chen Hao and then gathered the energy in his dantian and shouted, "Old Xiao, Patriarch, the chief guest elder Chen Hao is back! Chen Hao is back!"
Boom boom!
Xiao Guan's excited voice sounded like thunder in the Xiao Clan. After shouting several times, he finally stopped. Immediately, he excitedly went to Chen Hao's side.
"Brother …"
"Brother …"
In the Martial Arts Practice Field, Xiao Nan and Xiao Yan immediately screamed and rushed to Chen Hao, whom they had not seen for three years. When they got close to Chen Hao, Xiao Yan's figure flickered and actually jumped high into the air, directly flying towards Chen Hao.
Chen Hao opened his arms and looked at his cute and beautiful sister with a gratified and excited expression.
The excited Xiao Nan glared at Xiao Yan who had jumped into Chen Hao's arms and stopped. Her eyes were burning as she tightly grabbed Chen Hao's hand.
"Brother …" Xiao Nan said in a trembling voice.
"Big brother …" Little Yan, who had burrowed into Chen Hao's arms and hugged him tightly, cried out with a sobbing tone.
…
Boom boom boom!
Whoosh whoosh whoosh!
After Xiao Guan's thunderous voice sounded, countless figures in the entire Xiao clan immediately rushed out from every room in the inner academy. One of them flew through the air at an astonishing speed and soon appeared in front of Chen Hao.
It was Old Xiao!
"Disciple Chen Hao greets Old Xiao!" Chen Hao hastily put Xiao Yan down and bowed. This was the greeting of a junior to an elder.
"Good … Good!" Old Xiao, whose appearance had not changed at all, stared at Chen Hao in a daze. He excitedly helped Chen Hao up and said, "Superior Grade Martial Emperor … Good, good …"
Soon after, the Xiao Clan's Family Head, Xiao Ding, and the Xiao Clan's Elders all rushed over. When Chen Hao saw the familiar figures appear one after another, his emotions surged. This was especially so when he saw that everyone's cultivation had increased at an astonishing speed. Old Xiao's aura was clearly that of a Martial Ancestor Realm cultivator. Xiao Ding had also become a Superior Grade Martial Emperor. Chen Hao knew that all these changes were due to the sufficient supply of medicinal pills. Of course, Old Xiao's improvement was mostly due to the complete Longevity Art.
When everyone greeted and bowed to Chen Hao, Chen Hao felt his status in everyone's eyes. Aside from Old Xiao, even Xiao Ding looked at him with reverence.
Just at this moment, a graceful figure that Chen Hao was familiar with flew over at lightning speed. When her gaze locked onto Chen Hao, her figure immediately froze. She stared blankly at the youth who was smiling at her.
She was not stunningly beautiful. However, there was a faint blush on her charming and gentle face, as well as an unconcealable excitement.
"Junior …" Xiao Mei wanted to call him junior brother. However, she could not bring herself to do so. Her junior brother, her former junior brother, was already the Xiao Clan's true backer. He had an extremely high status in the entire Zhen Yuan Kingdom. Was junior brother still something that she could call him?
"Sister Mei …" Chen Hao called out with a faint smile.
…
Chen Hao's return was bound to cause a commotion. After exchanging greetings with everyone, Chen Hao carried Xiao Yan, who was wrapped around Chen Hao like an octopus. Then, he pulled his little brother and headed to the small courtyard where his parents lived.
When he thought of his mother who used to be emaciated and worked hard for the family, Chen Hao felt a stab of pain in his heart. And now, he had finally, with his own strength, freed his mother from that unbearable life.
When he thought of his mysterious father, Chen Hao felt even more puzzled and curious.
"Brother … what's your current cultivation?" Xiao Nan was high-spirited. She raised her head with a fiery gaze as she looked at her idol and asked.
"Rank eight Martial Emperor. In the future, you will catch up to your big brother. Work hard! "Chen Hao patted Xiao Nan's head and said with a trace of pampering.
"That's not important. As long as I can catch up to big brother, it's fine! Big brother, sister Mei often tells little sister and me that if we want to see you, we must work hard to cultivate. Otherwise, we will become people from two different worlds … Big brother, is that true? "
"Of course not. Big brother will often come back, "Chen Hao was slightly startled. Then, he said.
"You only come back once every three years. Big brother, Xiao Yan hates you …" Xiao Yan, who was in Chen Hao's embrace, pouted and said.
"Don't speak nonsense. Big brother is doing this for cultivation. A real man should aspire to travel far. How can I come back to see you every day … However, big brother, if … if you're free, you should … come back more often. Mother talks about you every day … and little sister too … "
What surprised Chen Hao was that Xiao Nan, who was only ten years old, actually spoke in a manly manner. That tone, that expression, it was extremely similar to his father's when he participated in the Cloud Province's Martial Gathering.
"Aren't you still …" Xiao Yan said to Xiao Nan in dissatisfaction.
"Big brother …"
"Mn?" Right at this moment, Xiao Nan suddenly frowned. She seemed to want to say something but hesitated. This caused Chen Hao to be slightly startled.
"Father, he … father, he is not an ordinary person …" Xiao Nan finally said in a low voice.
"How do you know?" Chen Hao asked in astonishment.
"Father did not allow Xiao Yan and I to cultivate the Xiao family's internal techniques. He taught us a set of techniques … Father told us to cultivate diligently and come to your side … Big brother, tell me, father is clearly an ordinary person. How could he have a cultivation technique? Moreover … when you left Cloud Province, he told us to start cultivating. Otherwise, with our current cultivation, we would not have been able to become Martial Warriors so quickly. "
"Have you asked father?" Chen Hao said with a serious expression. He knew that his younger brother could no longer be looked at as a child. Compared to the him who had not fused with his soul back then, his mind was much more mature.
"I did ask. But father did not say anything. He only said that one day we would know … Big brother, did you also realize it? "
"Mn. Don't ask in the future. Father must have his difficulties … "Chen Hao said.
"Mn."
As they spoke, Chen Hao saw a small independent courtyard from afar. At the entrance of the courtyard, his mother was looking around.
His mother's appearance had changed greatly. Her complexion was rosy and she was obviously ten years younger than before.
"Tianci …"
The familiar voice trembled with excitement as Chen Hao's mother jogged over to Chen Hao.
Chen Hao hurriedly put Xiao Yan down. With a flash of his body, he mysteriously appeared in front of his mother. He bowed and knelt on the ground: "Mother!"
