Shattered Moon, Falling Frost sliced through the clouds, and the outline of the Immortal Sect gradually came into view.
After a month-long mission, Xu Changqing finally returned to Dongting.
From the battle of wits in Fengrao Commandery to the chaos of the Hands-Off Region.
From the Demon King's ambush at Fetal Mountain to the great war between humans and demons on the Central Domain Battlefield.
From the scorching magma waves of Chi Yan Valley to the tranquil scenery of the Immortal Sect once more.
Xu Changqing felt as though a lifetime had passed.
In the past decade or so, this was the first time he had been away for so long.
Along the way, Zhang Su, Hu Bugui, Zhao Ziyue, Miao Huayu, Xu Linshan, and the others left Shattered Moon, Falling Frost one after another, each flying toward home.
After being away for so long, a pile of matters awaited their handling upon their return.
In the end, Xu Changqing alone guided Shattered Moon, Falling Frost down into Red Maple Valley.
With a sweep of his Divine Sense, he found Shuangmei, Little Linglong, Wangwang, Wangzai, Cluck-Cluck, Fortress, and the rest of the family all present. They did not seem to have changed much.
After all, for cultivators, a month made no difference from a day.
Xu Changqing had just put away Shattered Moon, Falling Frost when a tiny figure rushed out of the house, crying out in a crisp voice, "Daddy!"
The next instant, Little Linglong threw herself into his arms, her face full of excitement.
Xu Changqing lowered his head and stroked her little head. "Was Linglong good at home?"
Little Linglong grinned, revealing pearly white teeth. "I was good, very good!"
Xu Changqing blinked. "Good children get rewards."
At those words, Little Linglong's eyes lit up. "What reward?"
