The Great Sage's Indignation
Zhang Dexiao pulled Ni Xin'er through the Zhang Family Mountain Gate and headed straight for the Profound Heaven Villa.
As soon as he stepped outside the courtyard, he shouted at the top of his lungs:
"Mother!"
The sound echoed throughout the entire courtyard.
Inside the room, Luo Lingshuang sat by the window, her brows slightly furrowed.
Several months have passed since Zhang Xuanchen left, and no news has been sent back. Although she knows that with Zhang Xuanchen's strength, he wouldn't be in trouble so easily, the great battle is fraught with danger, and she still can't truly let go of her worries.
Upon hearing Zhang Dexiao's voice, she quickly stood up.
The next moment, his figure flashed and he appeared at the courtyard gate.
"Xiao'er, is your father back?"
Luo Lingshuang looked Zhang Dexiao up and down and asked.
Upon hearing this, a hint of embarrassment flashed across Zhang Dexiao's face.
His own father is out there fighting for his career, while he's out flirting with girls; that's really... something else.
He scratched his head. "Uh, Mom, Dad hasn't come back yet."
Upon hearing this, a hint of disappointment flashed in Luo Lingshuang's eyes, and then her gaze fell on Ni Xin'er beside her.
Ni Xin'er wore a pure white dress, her appearance was stunning, and her temperament was both cool and gentle.
When Luo Lingshuang looked at her, she became slightly nervous and quickly bowed:
"Junior Ni Xin'er greets Aunt Shuang."
Luo Lingshuang was slightly taken aback, then suppressed her worry and gave a gentle smile, "Don't be so reserved."
She looked at Zhang Dexiao, "Xiao'er, is she the girl you mentioned before?"
Zhang Dexiao nodded and said:
"Yes, Mother, she is the Xin'er I told you about."
I want to marry her.
Seeing her son's smug expression, Luo Lingshuang was happy for him.
However, whether or not he can marry Ni Xin'er is neither Zhang Dexiao's decision nor hers.
Only Zhang Xuanchen could make the decision.
The Zhang Family is now growing stronger, and although Zhang Dexiao is not the Young Patriarch, he is Zhang Xuanchen's son and holds a respectable position.
It's normal to be schemed against.
Zhang Xuanchen hasn't returned yet, so she can't possibly make the final decision.
Thinking this, she took Ni Xin'er's hand, examined her carefully for a moment, and the smile in her eyes grew wider.
"Good, good girl."
"De Xiao may not be very steady, but he's not a bad person."
If he bullies you in the future, tell your aunt, and your aunt will stand up for you.
Zhang Dexiao's eyes widened on the spot, "How could I possibly bully Xin'er?"
"I cherish her too much to even think about it."
"Who knows? After all, with your personality, you seem like you'll never grow up." Luo Lingshuang laughed, pulling Ni Xin'er into the house, and continued:
"Since we're here, let's stay at Xuanxiao Mountain."
Xiao'er, tell your grandparents, the elders, and your brother Tian about this.
I'm talking to Xin'er.
"Knew."
Zhang Dexiao agreed and walked out of the room with a smile on his face.
Time flies, and four months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Above Xuanxiao Mountain, Cloud Sea surged.
A massive, dark warship pierced through the clouds and slowly came to a stop above the Zhang Family Mountain Gate.
On the deck of the warship, Zhang Xuanchen stood with his hands behind his back.
Behind him were Zhang Chongxian, Little Flame, Zhang Xuanbing, Wuxin, and a group of returning members of the Zhang Lineage and their Family General.
After four months of recuperation, everyone's injuries have healed considerably, but the fatigue from the battle is still clearly visible.
Especially for those clansmen and Family General who have lost arms or legs, if they cannot recover, their Dao Path may come to an end.
But compared to those who perished, they were fortunate.
Looking at the familiar Xuanxiao Mountain, everyone relaxed completely and exclaimed excitedly:
"Finally back!"
We're finally back!
Just then, a loud voice suddenly came from afar:
"Xuan Chen!"
Immediately afterwards, a golden figure soared into the sky from Xuanxiao Mountain.
It was none other than the Great Sage had just emerged from seclusion.
Behind him, Little Peach, riding a pale green cloud, chased after him angrily.
"Wait for me!"
The two landed on the deck of the Mystic Firmament Warship. The Great Sage stood with his hands on his hips, glaring angrily at Zhang Xuanchen!
"Xuan Chen, well, it's fine that you didn't call me when you came back."
They didn't even notify me about such a big battle?
This truly breaks my heart.
Zhang Xuanchen looked at the two people in front of him and said with delight, "Great Sage, Little Peach, don't be angry."
You were in seclusion before, which was fine, Lineage also needed a strong person to stay behind, so we didn't call for help.
At the Peak of the Fourth Stage Middle Stage, Little Peach's Divine Soul Power was also close to the Spirit Transformation.
"Excellent, excellent! You've gained a lot from this retreat."
"By the way, when did you emerge from quarantine?"
"Five months ago," Little Peach replied angrily, "As soon as we came out of seclusion, we heard that you led your people to besiege the Devil Race."
"You didn't even tell us about something this big."
The Great Sage snorted heavily, "Hmph! That's right, they didn't even call us."
That's truly despicable!
"Do you know that I've been in seclusion for so long just so I can have a proper fight after breaking through?"
Zhang Xuanchen looked at the Great Sage, whose face was full of resentment, and said helplessly:
Okay, don't be angry.
I know I was wrong.
As for wanting to have a good fight, that's very simple.
Neither the Ancient Forest nor the Cloudmist Continent sent anyone to support us in this battle, and I, being so petty, can't stand it.
After all, so many people and Demon Beast died in my Heavenly Dragon Sea Domain, only to gain this brief period of peace, which they enjoy with a clear conscience. Who can tolerate this?
I plan to visit those two places after I fully recover from my injuries. You guys come with me; you won't have to worry about not having a fight.
Upon hearing this, the Great Sage's anger level instantly dropped to zero.
He had wanted to visit those two places for a long time.
I've been afraid of encountering danger, so I haven't dared to go.
Now that Zhang Xuanchen is with him, he has nothing to worry about.
"Haha, Xuan Chen, I was just teasing you."
Are you really taking us there?
"Really."
"Haha, good, you truly are my best brother."
Then, looking at Little Flame who had been staring at him and smiling, he frowned and said, "What are you looking at?"
"I heard you've Fourth Stage Peak?"
Let's practice!
Upon hearing this, Little Flame chuckled lightly, exuding arrogance, and said, "Great Sage? Are you serious?"
Aren't you afraid of getting beaten up?
"Hmph, I'll fight even if I get beaten up!"
"Walk!"
Before the words had even faded, the Great Sage and Little Flame had vanished into the distance.
Little Peach shook her head helplessly, "That Great Sage just keeps asking for a beating."
Why."
Zhang Xuanchen replied, "There's nothing I can do; it's just my nature."
After saying that, he released a burst of spiritual energy, Mystic Firmament Warship landed in front of the mountain gate.
After all the clansmen and Family General disembarked.
Zhang Xuanchen looked at the clansmen gathered in front of the mountain gate, eagerly awaiting his arrival, and took a deep breath, saying:
"Gentlemen, those who participate in this battle will receive double the mission points."
For deceased clansmen, the compensation is doubled, and the mission points earned in battle are inherited by their offspring.
The Lineage will reimburse the injured for any necessary medicines or spirit medicine.
..."
After everything was arranged, Zhang Xuanchen ordered everyone to disperse.
Soon, only Luo Lingshuang, Zhang Hongzhan, Lin Wanqing, Zhang Dexiao, Zhang Deling, Little Peach Tao remained at the scene.
