Huangfu Father and Son Suddenly Crippled

Outside the house, in front of the stone pavilion.

"What happened to that kid?" Lu Qing'an asked calmly.

He had just seen his youngest daughter rush out of Xu Yunyi's room in a panic, as if she had been frightened by something, so he called her over and questioned her carefully.

Only after asking did she learn that something must have happened to Xu Xuanyu. Xu Yunyi had sent a telepathic message to Xu Qingying, and the emotions she couldn't help but express inadvertently frightened her daughter.

Xu Yunyi turned her head and glanced at the house. She saw Lu Miaomiao holding onto the door frame with both hands, looking over with her head out. Her eyes were a little red, as if she had done something wrong.

At that moment, she felt terrible. How could she have acted like that in front of her child?

The child was clearly frightened!

She really wanted to slap herself.

"Brother-in-law, I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare Miaomiao..." Xu Yunyi apologized guiltily.

"It's alright, that child is quite easygoing. Look at her, she even seems to feel a little sorry for you now," Lu Qing'an said.

Xu Yunyi lowered her head, feeling even more guilty.

"Sit down and tell me what happened."

Xu Yunyi fidgeted with the hem of her clothes, but didn't sit down, nor did she want to trouble Lu Qing'an with her family matters any further.

"Brother-in-law, it's nothing really, I just want to go back there for a bit, but I'm not sure how long I'll be gone..."

With her Demon Domain cultivation, she wasn't entirely sure if she could safely return here.

But for her brother's sake, she had to go back!

"That's the thing I dislike most about you. I've already said I still consider you family, and Miaomiao asked me to help you. So, tell me quickly, what happened, and I'll see if I can help you."

Xu Yunyi looked up at Lu Qing'an, who was speaking very gently, then glanced at Lu Miaomiao over there, her clothes crumpled from her grip, before finally speaking.

She knew very well that if she wanted to better lead her younger brother away from that sorrowful place, the Immortal Ruins, her current strength was still insufficient...

After listening to Xu Yunyi's story, Lu Qing'an remained silent.

There was absolutely no change in his expression.

"Are you finished?" Lu Qing'an asked.

Xu Yunyi nodded bitterly.

"Then you don't need to worry about this. Let him rest there for a while until he's fully recovered and can move around freely. Then he can come here on his own. For now, put all of this behind you, go to the academy to cultivate, and wait for him to come."

"This..."

Before Xu Yunyi could say anything, Lu Qing'an asked, "Are you going to listen to me or not?"

Seeing the unyielding look on Lu Qing'an's face, Xu Yunyi pondered for a moment before finally nodding.

My brother-in-law must have already made some arrangements.

"Okay, then I'll head to the academy now..."

"Yes, you should have a good talk with Miaomiao. The child is still a bit upset."

"Good..."

Xu Yunyi walked towards the house.

After Xu Yunyi left, Xiao Qingyi, who was feeding the fish by the pond, walked up to Lu Qing'an.

Aren't you going to do something?

"You enjoy eavesdropping on other people's conversations?"

"Ahem, I overheard that. Are you going back to the Immortal Ruins?"

"That kid's misfortune was an inevitable outcome; it has nothing to do with me."

He seemed indifferent.

Xiao Qingyi glanced at Lu Qing'an, but said nothing more.

Xu Yunyi then took Lu Miaomiao and the others to the academy, leaving only Xiao Qingyi and Lu Qing'an in the courtyard.

"Let's make some tea. Take out your treasured tea leaves." Lu Qing'an looked at Xiao Qingyi was sitting to the side staring at him.

Xiao Qingyi said, "There's only one or two ounces of tea left from the Demon God Mother Tree. It's a bit wasteful for just the two of us to drink it. Let's wait until everyone's here before we drink it."

"Stop talking nonsense, I'll get you an extra pound when I have time."

"Hey! You said it yourself! So I won't be stingy!" Xiao Qingyi smiled and scurried towards the house.

However, when he came out with the tea leaves, he found that Lu Qing'an was no longer sitting in the stone pavilion.

He shook his head and smiled, finished brewing the tea in front of the stone pavilion, and in less than ten breaths, Lu Qing'an flashed back to the stone pavilion.

"Where did you go?" Xiao Qingyi asked with a smile.

I went to the restroom.

"Oh."

Xiao Qingyi smiled.

"Are you thirsty? The tea isn't ready yet?"

Here! Drink up!

"This smell... it doesn't come from the leaves at the top of the Demon God Mother Tree, does it?"

"As long as there's something to drink, that's fine! I don't have the means to get the top leaves! Why don't you go pick them yourself?"

"Okay, I'll pick them when I have time," Lu Qing'an said.

On the other side, after arriving at the Demon Willow Academy, Xu Yunyi hesitated for a while before sending a Xu Xuanyu.

"Little brother, I probably can't go back to pick you up. My brother-in-law told me to rest there for a while, and once you've fully recovered and can come over on your own, then you can come back. He said he's not angry with you anymore and seems to have agreed to let you stay here."

"My brother-in-law is really not angry with me anymore?!"

"Yes, you should focus on recovering and try not to think about those things anymore..."

"Okay, then I'll take good care of myself..."

"Yes, if there's anything else you want to say to Second Sister, just send me a voice message. I'm always available!"

"Mmm, thank you, Second Sister..."

After ending the telepathic communication, Xu Xuanyu remained lying on the bed, looking at the Sound Transmission Jade Slip in his hand, his shattered heart seemingly beginning to heal.

There was nothing left for him to miss in the Immortal Ruins...

"Second sister, Miaomiao, brother-in-law..."

He took a deep breath and made his final decision.

Take good care of your injuries and once you've fully recovered, find a way to get to the Demon Domain Realm.

He struggled to his feet, intending to wash his face and wipe away the tear stains.

But just then, a series of extremely fast whooshing sounds suddenly rang out from the sky.

It seemed that several powerful individuals were flying at an extremely fast speed towards the back mountain where his sister was cultivating.

At this moment, in a grand hall, Xu Qingying, who had just suppressed her emotions and was preparing to continue her cultivation, suddenly opened her eyes.

The next moment, ten figures appeared in front of the main hall.

The people who came this time were all Great Emperor Realm Great Emperor Realm, specifically from the Nangong Household and Huangfu Household.

Among them were two Peak Great Emperor Realm experts from the Nangong Household!

The head of the Nangong Household looked very grim.

There is another Peak Great Emperor Realm expert, who is a Peak Great Emperor Realm expert from the Huangfu Household who has been in seclusion for many years.

As soon as this Peak Great Emperor Realm expert from the Huangfu Household landed, he looked at Xu Qingying with an extremely cold expression, unleashing his killing intent without restraint.

"Xu Qingying! What have you done to our patriarch and young master?!"

When Xu Qingying saw the ten people arrive, looking aggressive and as if they had come to interrogate her, she frowned.

Upon hearing this, she was completely stunned.

What did I do to them???
