At the western border of Huaxia, there was a culture and customs of a foreign land, with merchants from all over the world coming and going. In the hundreds of miles of barracks at the border, the army trained day in and day out. For many years, the army had been in a state of constant preparation for war.
Yue Qianchou quietly appeared at the back of the main tent. When the cultivators he sent saw him, they were surprised at first, then happy, but when they wanted to salute him, he waved his hand to stop them. Gently pulling the curtain aside, he saw Shi Wenguang and his son sitting around the table, gesturing with their hands to draw a map.
Just as Yue Qianchou was about to step out, he suddenly heard Shi Yintian muttering: "Father, are we really going to keep waiting like this? The army has been training like this for a long time, everyone will get tired, it's not good for the morale of the army … "
"Shut up, Mister Yue will naturally have arrangements." Shi Wenguang signaled to the back of the tent with his eyes, hinting him not to speak carelessly, there were still people sent by Yue Qianchou. Then he said in a low voice: "Don't think I don't know, you've been secretly sending a group of people back to the capital, what are you planning?"
"I knew I couldn't hide it from father." Shi Yintian smiled bitterly: "I've sent people back to spy on the situation, to see if there's a chance to bring everyone back. Our family has been separated for too long, it's not a good idea to continue like this."
Shi Wenguang also sighed and shook his head: "It's easier said than done, the imperial court has probably sent people day and night to keep an eye on them. Even if they can escape from the capital, it's a long journey, and there's also a heavy military presence, how can they make it? I'm afraid we can only ask for Mister Yue's help. "
Yue Qianchou smiled, opened the curtain, and walked out: "The day of the Grand General's family reunion is not far away."
The father and son looked over, and when they saw him, they were overjoyed and cupped their hands together: "Greetings, Mister."
Yue Qianchou waved his hand at them, indicating that there was no need to be so polite, then looked at them carefully. Perhaps it was because of the hardships at the border, Shi Yintian already had the image of a middle-aged man. On the other hand, Shi Wenguang was still healthy and strong, even after a few years, there were still no signs of aging on his face, most likely due to the pills. Yue Qianchou's eyes finally landed on Shi Yintian, smiling: "Looks like the Young General can't wait any longer and is eager to reunite with his family."
Shi Wenguang was slightly startled, knowing that Yue Qianchou had heard his son's grumbling. He hastily cupped his hands in apology and said, "It's all my son's fault. He's insensible and full of nonsense. Please forgive him."
"Great General, you think too much. Who doesn't want their family to be reunited? This is human nature. What crime is there?" After saying that, Yue Qianchou walked to the entrance of the tent with his hands clasped behind his back and looked at the soldiers training outside. Amidst the deafening battle cries, he nodded in satisfaction. The father and son followed behind, Shi Wenguang asked: "Just now, Mister said that the day of my family reunion is not far away, what does Mister mean?"
Yue Qianchou suddenly turned around and strode to the commander's seat in the center. He stared at the two and asked, "If I let you make sufficient preparations before the battle, how long would it take for you to finish?"
The father and son looked at each other, understanding the meaning behind Mister Grand General's words, their eyes were filled with surprise. Shi Yintian could not wait to answer: "Half a month, half a month is enough."
Yue Qianchou frowned, staring at Shi Wenguang: "Grand General, you are an expert in war, but you can't afford to rush! I'll give you a month to prepare, is that enough? "
Shi Yintian immediately knew that he was being too impulsive. Shi Wenguang also glared at him, then replied: "Actually, we have always been preparing, it's just a small battle, the army can be mobilized at any time. If it's a big battle, it will take some time, but a month's time difference is not bad. "
"Good! Then I'll give you a month's time. A month later, I will bring your family back safely on time. " Yue Qianchou looked out of the tent, and waved his hand: "Time doesn't wait for me, one month later, the army will march east. I will not directly intervene in the war between mortals, nor will I let other cultivators interfere. I've given you a chance, when the time comes, let's see if your Shi family has the ability to change the dynasty of Huaxia, and earn your Shi family's eternal inheritance. "
After waiting for so many years, the day had finally arrived. The father and son were so excited that they could not speak, and they bowed to Yue Qianchou …
Yue Qianchou stood at the top of a lush tree in the depths of a mountain forest. In front of him was a large manor that was connected together. Behind the manor was a huge waterfall. The rushing water split into two along the river, circling around the manor on both sides before merging into a single river and going far away. This huge manor was like a paradise, it was none other than the Wu clan, one of the four major clans that Yue Qianchou had not set foot in for many years.
Above his head, there were cultivators flying past, some alone, some in pairs, and some in groups of three to five, rising and landing on the Wu clan's Hat Island. No one would pay attention to a cultivator who looked relatively young, even if they occasionally saw him, they would just quickly pass by, not bothering to pay attention.
When separating from Gu Qingyun, Yue Qianchou mentioned that he was going to the Wu clan, and Gu Qingyun immediately informed him that the Wu clan's grand auction that was held once every five years was about to be held.
Looking at the bustling scene deep in the old forest in front of him, Yue Qianchou sighed endlessly. Time passed so quickly, he did not expect that three auctions had passed in the blink of an eye. These years had been spent in a busy manner, and it suddenly felt like only two or three years had passed, but looking back, it had been fifteen years since he first came here …
He still remembered when he was in Swallow City, he joined Aung Kwang-tsung because of a jade pendant … The past was still vivid in his mind, and counting with his fingers, it had been more than twenty years since he stepped into the cultivation world. In this way, he seemed to be in his early forties, but in the cultivation world, forty years old was still young.
"I wonder how that girl from the Wu clan is doing," Yue Qianchou muttered to himself, standing on the treetop as the wind rose and fell, and shook his head with a bitter smile. In fact, because he had the golden bead, he could come here to see that girl every day, but he did not do so, and devoted all his energy to the great cause of scheming against others. Could it be that she was already married?
After thinking about it, he felt that it was unlikely. This era was different from his previous life, and Wu Lixue had already been branded with his, Yue Qianchou's, mark. She could not be married at will.
But because of this, he wanted to use the opportunity of the Wu clan's auction to make a high-profile appearance and announce that he had returned. Now, he was a little afraid of seeing that girl's sad eyes when he went to the Wu clan …
"We have to meet anyway. At worst, I'll just get beaten up by that girl, and it's okay if I die." Yue Qianchou gritted his teeth, jumped off the treetop, and flew quickly to Hat Island …
Being on the streets of Hat Island, Yue Qianchou looked around, and there was not much change. Looking left and right, he walked in the bustling crowd, and no one paid attention to him. After all, not everyone had seen him with their own eyes. But, it was not that no one had not seen him, so …
"Ah …" Suddenly, someone on the street let out a long cry of surprise.
Damn it! I thought no one would recognize me after making a high-profile appearance! Yue Qianchou criticized in his heart, and continued to walk his own path, and let others be surprised.
The passersby followed the surprised person's gaze, and immediately, someone couldn't help but exclaim again, "It's Yue Qianchou!"
"What? It's Yue Qianchou? "
"Where? Where? "
"Ah! It's really him, Yue Qianchou is back! "
The entire streets of Hat Island were suddenly in an uproar, and the news quickly spread that Yue Qianchou, who had become the number one expert below the Soul Formation stage in a foreign country, had returned … The first reaction of the disciples of the various sects was to run back to the shops of their sects and pass this important news back to their own sects.
Under the gaze of countless people, Yue Qianchou felt like returning home in glory. When he walked to the river bridge that had been destroyed in the battle with Luo Qingtian and had been rebuilt, a large group of people from the Wu Clan had already flown over. The person who was laughing was naturally the Wu Clan's Clan Master, Wu Sihai. He had met most of the others before.
Yue Qianchou cupped his hands at them and said with a smile, "Long time no see, how are you all?"
The current Yue Qianchou was no longer comparable to the Yue Qianchou of the past. His reputation was not just ordinary. It was said that he had been personally acknowledged by a Soul Formation Final stage expert as the number one expert below the Soul Formation stage! In addition, some of the higher-ups of the Wu Clan knew that he was Bi Changchun's disciple, so they were all polite to him and greeted him back.
"Good, good, good!" Wu Sihai looked at him and couldn't help but clap his hands and praise him a few times. He was so happy that he couldn't speak. Then, he waved his hand and said, "Please!"
Yue Qianchou glanced at the crowd, but he didn't see Wu Lixue's figure. After feeling slightly disappointed, he didn't stand on ceremony and flew into the sky, following the Wu Clan's group to the Wu Clan's residence.
After arriving at the Wu Clan's ancestral hall, Yue Qianchou respectfully bowed to the remade portrait of Bi Changchun in the center. The original portrait had already been burned by him. Then, the Wu Clan's people all followed suit and bowed. Ever since Bi Changchun, the number one figure in the cultivation world, was widely known by the people of China's cultivation world, the entire Wu Clan became more and more respectful to this portrait. They even sent people to guard it so that the tragedy of being burned down last time wouldn't happen again. If that happened, they would be letting down the old ancestor.
After a series of courteous greetings, Yue Qianchou was a little impatient. He really didn't have a common language with this group of people. Just think about it, when he first met this group of Tribulation Passing Experts, he still felt a little excited. Now that they were asking and answering, he felt that it was boring. He could only force a smile and deal with them. It wasn't that he looked down on them, but he had seen too many big scenes. Right now, his eyesight and knowledge had far surpassed them. It felt like an adult talking to a three-year-old child. However, he couldn't show his unwillingness because of Bi Changchun and Wu Lixue. Otherwise, with his temper, he would have left long ago …
Wu Sihai understood this fellow who liked to cause trouble wherever he went. He dismissed everyone and asked someone to lead Yue Qianchou to the 'Quiet Guest House' to rest …
