Return, Wei Shanhai's Shock

"Cang County, we've finally returned."

At the city gate of Cang County Town, Ma Gu and Wei Zi'an looked ahead with excitement on their faces.

Although they had seen many magnificent cities during their journey through the Central Province.

Even ancient cities like Azure Dragon City and Holy City, which are like celestial sites, have experienced its splendor.

But in their hearts, what they cherish most and what warms their hearts most is this small town in front of them.

"Isn't that the Young Master of the Wei Clan, and his master Ma Gu?"

"The Young Master of the Wei Clan is back. Wasn't it said that he and his master went on a journey?"

"What are those two magnificent horses? They look so extraordinary!"

"Such a powerful aura! The Blood Qi Power of these two horses is far stronger than ours!"

Lu Qing and his companions' carriage was already quite conspicuous.

The two Dragon Blood Horse, in particular, attracted much attention.

Putting aside its magnificent appearance, the aura it exuded alone was enough to make everyone's hearts tremble.

Even ordinary Bone Refinement Realm experts are far inferior.

This would naturally attract the attention of the scouts at the city gate.

Then they saw Wei Zi'an and Ma Gu getting off the carriage.

The spies in the city were naturally very familiar with these two individuals.

Suddenly, news of the return of the Young Master Wei and his disciples from their travels began to spread rapidly throughout the city.

"Is this Young Master Lu's home?"

Hu Ze Zhi and Hu Lao San looked out the carriage window, finding it all very novel.

"My master and I don't live in the city. Zi An and Master Ma live in the County Town," Lu Qing said with a smile.

"Old Doctor, Brother Lu Qing, should we go into the city first, or go back to Nine Li Village first?"

Even though they had already arrived in the County Town, Ma Gu still asked Lu Qing and the others for their opinions first.

Lu Qing thought for a moment and said, "Let's go into the County Town first. It's perfect timing. I have some things I want to discuss with Senior Wei."

"Alright, everyone, please come to my house for the night!"

Upon hearing this, Wei Zi'an was immediately delighted.

Xiao Yan was also quite happy to hear this.

She hadn't seen her aunt for a long time and missed her very much.

So Ma Gu drove the carriage slowly into the city, and the guards at the city gate did not dare to search the carriage.

After all, the carriage bore the Wei Clan's mark; who would dare to stop the Wei Clan's carriage?

They arrived at the Wei Clan home without any trouble. Grand Steward Wei was already waiting at the gate with a group of servants.

There were many spies at the city gate, and naturally, the Wei Clan was among them.

Therefore, the Wei Clan had already received the news before Lu Qing and his group even arrived.

"Uncle Hai, I'm back!"

Wei Zi'an jumped off the carriage, somewhat excited.

"It's good to be back, it's good to be back. Young Master seems to have grown taller and stronger."

Grand Steward Wei looked at Wei Zi'an with a gratified expression.

However, when he sensed Wei Zi'an's presence, he felt somewhat surprised.

Because he discovered that he was unable to sense the young master's cultivation level.

His aura was completely concealed, vague and indistinct, as if he were in a fog.

However, despite his surprise, Grand Steward Wei did not show any unusual expression.

He looked in the direction of the carriage, a respectful expression on his face.

"Greetings, Old Doctor Chen Young Master Lu."

But Lu Qing and the others also got off the carriage.

"No need for such formalities, Steward Wei. We're afraid we'll have to trouble you again for a while," the Old Doctor said with a smile.

"Old Doctor Chen, what you said is very appropriate. The master and madam are probably overjoyed that you have condescended to come."

Grand Steward Wei hurriedly replied.

Next, Wei Zi'an gave a brief introduction to Hu Lao San and his daughter.

Upon hearing that the two were guests from Azure Dragon City, Grand Steward Wei felt a chill and dared not be negligent in bowing and greeting them.

After exchanging pleasantries, everyone went inside the house.

The servants of the Wei Clan had already removed the threshold so that the carriage could enter smoothly.

However, when he saw the two Dragon Blood Horse, Grand Steward Wei was once again greatly shocked.

The carriage that Lu Qing and his group used when they set off was arranged by him, and the horses that pulled the carriage were also top-quality steeds that he personally selected.

However, in just a short time, those two horses had transformed into strange Strange Beast with jade horns on their heads and an aura so powerful that even he felt somewhat inferior to them.

If he hadn't recognized the markings on the two horses, he wouldn't have believed that they were the two fine steeds he had personally chosen.

It seems that many unimaginable things must have happened during the young master's trip to Central Province.

Judging from the changes in the horses, Grand Steward Wei immediately guessed that Lu Qing and his group's recent trip must have been quite eventful.

"By the way, Uncle Hai, where are my father, my mother, and our Old Ancestor?"

After entering the house, Wei Zi'an finally voiced the question that had been on his mind.

He hasn't seen his father and mother since he came back.

"The master had some thoughts a few days ago and said he would go into seclusion for a while, but he hasn't come out of seclusion yet."

As for Madam, she went to Qing Le Brothel to listen to music today. I have already sent someone to inform you of your return; she should be back soon.

"Grand Steward Wei replied."

No sooner had he finished speaking than he heard a series of hurried footsteps outside.

Immediately afterwards, Madam Wei walked in from outside with a look of surprise on her face.

"Mother!"

Wei Zi'an jumped up from his seat and shouted.

She wanted to rush into her mother's arms, but then suddenly remembered that she was all grown up and could no longer act so childishly, so she stopped in her tracks.

However, he saw his mother walk straight past him, hurry up to Xiao Yan, and hug her tightly.

"Xiao Yan, you're back! Let Auntie see if you've gotten a tan and if you've had a hard time out there."

The sudden hug left Xiao Yan momentarily stunned.

However, sensing Madam Wei's concern, Xiao Yan's eyes still reddened a little. She replied softly, "Auntie, Xiao Yan didn't get tanned, and with my brother here, he won't let Xiao Yan suffer."

Madam Wei examined Xiao Yan for a while and found that she had indeed not been tanned.

She smiled and said, "Auntie knows. Xiao Yan won't suffer if she stays with her brother. But you've been away for so long, have you missed Auntie?"

"Yes, Xiao Yan has missed Auntie many times, and even bought Auntie a gift," the little girl answered obediently.

"Really? Then Auntie will have to take a good look at it later."

As Madam Wei looked at Xiao Yan's smiling face, a somewhat helpless voice came from the side. "Mother, I'm back."

Madam Wei turned around and saw her youngest son with a resentful expression.

He nodded with satisfaction. "Not bad, you've become more composed after your trip."

Otherwise, given his usual temperament, he would have pounced on him long ago.

Wei Zi'an was speechless.

How could he forget that in the past two years, his mother often stayed at the villa in Nine Li Village, always to visit Xiao Yan, and had long regarded Xiao Yan as her own daughter.

Many times, they are even closer than he is.

Luckily, he didn't pounce on her, otherwise it would have been really embarrassing if his mother ignored him.

Wei Zi'an felt somewhat ashamed.

When Madam Wei saw that her youngest son did not speak, she began to look him over.

Apart from being a little darker, he had no other injuries.

On the contrary, he has become much stronger.

He then knew that his youngest son had not encountered any misfortune during his training trip.

She breathed a sigh of relief and calmed herself down.

She bowed gracefully to the Old Doctor and Lu Qing.

"I have met the young master and the Old Doctor. My son's growth is largely thanks to your care along the way."

"Hehe, Madam, there's no need to be so polite. This old man doesn't know how to take care of people. On the contrary, it's Zi An's been serving this old fellow all the way here," the Old Doctor said with a smile.

"Old Doctor, you flatter me. Do you think I don't know my son's personality? If he has really learned to serve others, then it is all thanks to your excellent teaching."

Madam Wei, however, was not quite convinced, believing that the Old Doctor's words were merely a polite remark.

Doesn't she know her own son? Although his temperament has improved a lot in the past two years.

But to say that he has learned to serve others would be a bit difficult.

The Old Doctor smiled and didn't continue to argue.

In any case, the Wei Clan will eventually find out about Wei Zi'an's changes.

After another round of pleasantries, Lu Qing suddenly asked, "Madam, where is Elder Wei? Why can't we find him?"

"Our Old Ancestor has been living in Nine Li Village ever since you went on your travels, and he rarely comes back to the County Town."

Upon hearing this, Lu Qing was startled.

They knew that Wei Shanhai was doing this to fulfill his promise to them and to ensure that Nine Li Village would not encounter any accidents.

"Young Master Lu, do you have some urgent business to discuss with the Old Ancestor? Should I send someone to deliver a message?"

Seeing that Lu Qing remained silent, Madam Wei asked.

Lu Qing thought for a moment and nodded, "Alright, please ask Madam to pass on a message and say that Lu Qing has something important to discuss with Elder Wei."

When Madam Wei saw the solemnity on Lu Qing's face, she felt a chill run down her spine.

Knowing that something could make Lu Qing so serious must mean something extraordinary.

She dared not delay and immediately said, "Alright, I'll send someone to deliver the message right away."

Naturally, Madam Wei did not need to personally go to deliver the message.

She gave the order, and Grand Steward Wei immediately went to make preparations.

Soon, a falcon soared into the sky from the Wei Residence, circled once, and then flew swiftly towards Nine Li Village.

After finishing this task, Lu Qing introduced Hu Lao San and his daughter Hu Ze Zhi to Madam Wei.

Upon learning that the two were from Azure Dragon City, Madam Wei also attached great importance to them.

Although she was a woman from a small town, as the Wei Family Head, she had read many of the Wei Clan's books and had naturally heard of the name of the Number One Under Heaven Pass.

As everyone was chatting, about half an hour later, a figure suddenly fell into the courtyard from outside.

"Young Master Lu and Doctor Chen are back?"

Before he even entered the house, Wei Shanhai's loud voice, filled with surprise, came from outside.

"Old Ancestor!"

All the servants of the Wei Clan bowed respectfully.

"Old Ancestor, you're back."

Madam Wei was also pleasantly surprised and went to greet her.

"Yes, I just received a message from the manor saying that Young Master Lu and the others have returned, so I rushed back without stopping."

Wei Shanhai chuckled.

"Senior Wei."

"Old Master Wei."

"Grandpa Wei."

Lu Qing and the Old Doctor also stood up to greet them.

As for Hu Ze Zhi and his daughter, they were secretly alarmed.

Unexpectedly, there is such a powerful expert at the Innate Realm in this remote town.

"Doctor Chen, I originally thought that you would not be able to return for at least a year and a half after this trip to Central Province."

"It's only been less than three months, and you're already back?"

While Wei Shanhai was delighted, he also felt somewhat puzzled.

At the same time, he looked at Lu Qing and the Old Doctor.

Unfortunately, even though his cultivation had improved over this period of time, he still couldn't sense the cultivation levels of Lu Qing and the Old Doctor.

I could only vaguely sense that the auras of these two seemed even more unfathomable.

"There was a slight mishap, so we came back a little faster," Lu Qing said with a smile.

"I see." Wei Shanhai nodded, but did not ask what the accident was. Instead, he said, "Young Master Lu, in the previous message, you mentioned that you had something important to discuss with me. May I ask what it is?"

At this point, Lu Qing's expression became more serious. "This matter is of great importance, Senior Wei. Would it be possible to discuss this further later?"

Seeing Lu Qing's expression, Wei Shanhai also became solemn.

He nodded and said, "Alright, let's talk in the private room."

So he took Lu Qing and the Old Doctor to his usual secret room where he practiced his martial arts.

Upon arriving at the secret chamber, Wei Shanhai lowered the stone door and said, "Young Master Lu, this secret chamber is where I usually seclude myself for cultivation. It is extremely private. You can speak now if you have anything to say."

However, a strange aura suddenly emanated from Lu Qing, enveloping the entire Stone Chamber.

"Domain? Young Master Lu, you've actually mastered such a technique! You've broken through to the Innate Realm?!"

Wei Shanhai's face immediately showed a look of horror.

Over the past two years, he and the Old Doctor have developed a deep friendship and often discuss martial arts.

I have also experienced the mysteries of this field.

They immediately recognized that the technique Lu Qing was using was a domain.

That's why Wei Shanhai was extremely shocked.

He wasn't surprised that Lu Qing had entered the Innate Realm.

After all, when Lu Qing set off for Central Province, he had already reached the Acquired Realm for a long time.

He wouldn't be surprised if he broke through at any time.

However, he was quite surprised that Lu Qing was able to master the domain.

He had also tried to comprehend the principles of the domain.

The result was that they were completely unable to get in.

Even when the Old Doctor personally demonstrated his domain for him to comprehend, he still had no clue whatsoever and couldn't grasp even the slightest bit of the meaning.

As it turned out, not long after that, Lu Qing had already mastered it.

Moreover, the purity of its aura is not merely a matter of domain conception, but a complete domain.

Although he knew all along that Lu Qing was a genius of Destiny Fortune with great fortune.

However, Wei Shanhai still found it somewhat unbelievable that his cultivation had progressed so rapidly.

"I only broke through by chance not long ago, and I hope Senior Wei will forgive my poor performance," Lu Qing said with a smile. "Walls have ears, and the matter I want to discuss is no ordinary matter, so it's best to be cautious."

"Young Master Lu, what is it that makes you so cautious?"

Wei Shanhai took a deep breath and calmed himself down.

His face showed a solemn expression.

It was enough for Lu Qing to go to the trouble of using his domain to block out the sound and aura, preventing it from leaking out.

He found it hard to imagine what important matter could have made Lu Qing so cautious, as if afraid of leaking even the slightest information.

"What I want to talk about is the Giant Cauldron that you brought back back to us, Senior Wei."

Lu Qing said seriously.
