Lin Wanqing's Joy, Returning Home
Zhang Chongxian looked at the young man before him, his eyes filled with satisfaction.
I've always felt this child is intelligent and has a natural talent.
He never allowed anyone to cultivate.
Having reached the Foundation Establishment before the age of seventeen, his cultivation speed was only a few months slower than Zhang Xuanbing's.
Then he looked at Luo Lingshuang, his pupils contracting.
Foundation Establishment Peak!
Judging from the life force emanating from her, this girl wasn't much older than Zhang Xuanchen.
However, he had already cultivated to the Foundation Establishment Peak!
Even the Nascent Soul seeds cultivated by the five major Nascent Soul forces in the South Sea Immortal Continent cannot compare.
He secretly transmitted his voice to Zhang Xuanchen, asking, "Xiao Chen, is this girl trustworthy?"
Zhang Xuanchen was not surprised to hear the Ancestor's question.
After all, no one except the Ancestor could stop someone of such power. If they harbored any ill intentions, the consequences would be predictable.
He immediately replied:
"Rest assured, Ancestor! It's absolutely trustworthy!"
However, what they didn't know was that these two simple telepathic messages caused Luo Lingshuang's favorability towards Zhang Xuanchen to rise again.
A faint smile, imperceptible to everyone, appeared on his face.
Their telepathic communication naturally did not escape Little Lotus's notice.
Upon hearing Zhang Xuanchen's resolute reply, the last trace of doubt in Zhang Chongxian's heart vanished instantly.
He wouldn't have acted this way if it were someone else.
But these words came from Zhang Xuanchen, the man who taught his self-created "Steady Character Scripture" within his Lineage.
Because of him, everyone in the Lineage practiced the Secret Method Breath Concealment Technique, which was originally used to prop up table legs.
This Secret Method, like the First Stage Cultivation Method, contains the same Law Technique and is displayed on the first floor of the Transmission Tower. It does not require Contribution Points to exchange for.
Moreover, it was hung in the most conspicuous position in the center of the first floor.
Because of Zhang Xuanchen, the clansmen always carry Soundproof Array, breath-concealing arrays, and other Array Plate corresponding to their own strength when they go out.
The annual mortality rate among the clan has decreased significantly.
There were even two years with a zero mortality rate!
In the past, this would have been unthinkable, after all, this was the perilous world of cultivation.
No one can be sure whether they will die in the next moment.
So if Zhang Xuanchen said this woman is trustworthy, then there must be no problem.
Moreover, she might even become the Clan Leader's Wife in the future.
Thinking of this, Zhang Chongxian smiled like an aunt.
Looking at Luo Lingshuang standing beside Zhang Xuanchen, she said, "Your name is Luo Lingshuang, right? You are Xiao Chen's friend and his savior."
Although my Zhang Family is only a minor Golden Core clan, we are not ungrateful people.
Once you arrive at the Zhang Family, you can directly enter the Zhang Family's treasure vault and choose any three items.
It also represents a small token of our appreciation.
This gift might not seem like much to Luo Lingshuang, but it was certainly not insignificant.
The treasure trove of a Golden Core Family naturally contains many good things. Even a Nascent Soul seed from Nascent Soul power would be tempted by any three of them you choose.
Zhang Xuanchen, who was constantly observing Luo Lingshuang's expression, naturally saw that she wanted to refuse again, and immediately said:
"Ling Shuang, please don't refuse. This is a small token of our Zhang Family's appreciation."
Besides, you've probably heard the saying that one should not refuse a gift from an elder.
Zhang Guanghan, standing to the side, also looked at Luo Lingshuang with a smile, his meaning quite clear.
Hearing this, Luo Lingshuang was deeply moved. A smile appeared on her usually cool face, and she bowed slightly to Zhang Chongxian.
"Thank you, Ancestor."
Since the other party is Zhang Xuanchen's Ancestor, there's nothing wrong with addressing him Ancestor.
Just then, several streaks of light rapidly approached from a distance.
Lin Wanqing, Zhang Xuanbing, Fourth Elder Zhang Zu'an, Seventh Elder Zhang Hongyi, and Zhang Hongqing came to the three of them one after another.
Seeing Lin Wanqing walking towards him, Zhang Xuanchen was very excited, and tears welled up in his eyes.
"Mother."
Extend your arms, ready for a loving hug.
But to everyone's surprise, Lin Wanqing walked right past him and went straight to Luo Lingshuang's side, affectionately taking her hand.
His face was full of smiles, and his eyes were full of satisfaction as he looked at the girl.
They kept asking this and that.
He looked at me with even more affection than if he were seeing his own son.
It wasn't that she wasn't worried about Zhang Xuanchen, but rather that she could tell from the expressions of the Ancestor and Zhang Guanghan that he was alright.
Since there's nothing seriously wrong, there's no rush to catch up.
She had heard what the Ancestor had said. The girl in front of her was Zhang Xuanchen's savior. She was beautiful and powerful. More importantly, her son did not show any distance in his eyes when he looked at her.
And the same thing happened when the girl looked at her son.
We're friends now, but that doesn't mean we'll always be.
Maybe she's his daughter-in-law.
My eldest son is getting married in about two months, and now my younger son has brought home such an outstanding girl from outside.
She, as a mother, was absolutely overjoyed!
"Forehead..."
Zhang Xuanchen stretched out his arm and looked at his mother, who was holding Luo Lingshuang's hands, and froze on the spot for a moment.
For a moment, he couldn't tell whether he was her son or Luo Lingshuang was her daughter.
But soon he felt himself being embraced by a strong arm.
Turning his head, he saw Zhang Xuanbing, who was half a head taller than him and had a slight smile on his handsome face.
I was deeply moved.
"Brother, you're the one who loves me the most."
No sooner had he finished speaking than Lin Wanqing's laughter and scolding could be heard.
"You brat! I came out to find you as soon as I came out of seclusion, but all I got in return was this. It breaks my heart."
"Mother, that's not what I meant."
Zhang Xuanchen approached Lin Wanqing with a beaming smile, his face displaying a fawning expression.
However, Lin Wanqing ignored this and instead told Luo Lingshuang embarrassing stories about Zhang Xuanchen from his childhood.
"Hahaha."
The others couldn't help but laugh when they saw Zhang Xuanchen's pleading expression.
But they made no move to offer any assistance.
"Alright, now that we've found Xiao Chen, let's hurry back to the Lineage."
As he spoke, Zhang Chongxian took out a Second-tier Top-grade Mystic Gold Cloud-Breaking Flying Boat from his Storage Ring.
It is made primarily of Second Stage mid-level Crimson Mystic Gold, mixed with Second-tier Top-grade Deep Sea Mystic Gold and various auxiliary materials.
The boat was 18 feet wide and 42 feet long, shaped like a warship.
A short, gilded pillar stands at each of the four corners to increase stability.
At its core is a Second-tier Top-grade Golden Spirit Pearl, which can only be manipulated by infusing it with Spiritual Qi.
The ship is equipped with Second Stage Formation, which cannot be broken by anyone below the Golden Core stage.
The boat has two levels, which can easily accommodate seven or eight people.
It is the best Flying Boat the Zhang Family currently possesses.
As for why there isn't Third Stage, the answer is simply that we couldn't afford it before.
The group boarded the Flying Boat and began their return journey.
This time, they made no attempt to hide their presence. The Mystic Gold Cloud-Breaking Flying Boat was renowned for its speed, and with continuous day and night travel, it could return to the Lineage in less than two days.
