Chapter 24 Reunion!
The two of them did not rush on their trip back to the valley, leisurely enjoying the scenery along the way.
Although Feng Momo has lived in Fenglin City for a long time, she hasn't explored many of the scenic spots around the city.
Once married in the valley, it's not advisable to leave the valley for leisure without special opportunities. Chen Qian also wanted Feng Momo to have more wonderful memories, so he arranged the itinerary to be winding and not miss any place worth stopping to admire.
Just like ordinary young heroes and heroines entering the world to gain experience, it was a novel experience unlike anything they had ever had before.
Climb mountains for panoramic views, play in the lake, and admire the waterfall.
We found a manor to rest at night.
As long as you give some money, there won't be a big problem.
As a result, the journey that Chen Qian could take a little over an hour to complete alone took the two of them two whole days before they finally returned to Fenglin Valley, still feeling quite unsatisfied.
Back in Chen Qian's courtyard, after a short rest, they showed the girl around the courtyard before heading off to visit their fifth uncle, Chen Hongwei.
When the group met, they naturally exchanged pleasantries and greetings.
The old man's earnest words of advice, full of expectation and good wishes, need not be repeated.
After returning the Azure Scale Horse and obtaining the family identification plaques from Feng Momo, the two returned to the courtyard.
At the entrance of the courtyard, a beautiful figure stood gracefully, waiting for the two to return.
"Xiao Xi!"
"Sister Momo!"
The two women met, held hands, looked at each other, and then jumped and hugged each other.
The two girls have been close since childhood. Now that the head of the family will take Momo as his goddaughter, the two girls are nominally sisters. In the future, they will share the same husband, and their bond is stronger than that of family.
Chen Qian watched enviously from the side.
Although Chen Yunxi is the youngest, she comes from a distinguished family and is skilled in music, chess, calligraphy, painting, flute playing, dancing, and other arts. She is clever and has the demeanor of a well-bred young lady.
During his leisure time cultivating in the valley some time ago, Chen Qian often listened to her play the flute and zither. The music was like a clear spring flowing, with lingering notes that captivated the mind and spirit.
Her eyes, as clear as autumn water, held three parts intelligence and seven parts gentleness; every frown and smile exuded the composure and elegance of a noble lady.
Feng Momo is lively, cheerful, and has a childlike heart. She also has exceptional martial arts talent. It wouldn't be an exaggeration to call her a top-tier, elegant young lady.
When she practices martial arts, she moves with agility and her sword flashes like a rainbow, displaying a heroic and valiant spirit in every move; in her spare time, however, she is innocent and carefree, her laughter like silver bells, making people feel happy without even realizing it.
She was sincere and guileless, and her bright almond-shaped eyes were always full of smiles, as if all the troubles in the world had nothing to do with her.
The two women, like spring orchids and autumn chrysanthemums, complement each other beautifully; to have one as a wife is already a blessing in life.
Not to mention that both women were captivated by him. Chen Yunxi's gentle and talented nature was like a spring breeze, while Feng Momo's bright and energetic personality was as fiery and dazzling as the sun.
With two women by his side, one quiet and one lively, one elegant and one charming, being with them was truly the greatest joy in the world.
The two girls chattered away, sharing intimate thoughts like young girls, and Chen Qian was happy to listen quietly.
After their initial meeting, Chen Qian and his companion, led by Chen Yunxi, entered the inner valley to pay their respects to the family head.
Having been in Fenglin Valley for over a month, Chen Qian had never entered the inner valley.
Once past the barrier at the boundary between the inner and outer valleys, the concentration of spiritual energy immediately rose to a higher level.
It has already reached the level of a second-tier spiritual vein.
If Chen Qian can cultivate to the mid-stage of Qi Refining within three years, then he will be qualified to move to the inner valley.
Is this even a big deal? He didn't even need three months.
Fenglin Valley is very large, and the three of them moved forward slowly. Along the way, Chen Yunxi introduced the various scenic spots to Feng Momo.
Although it was the height of summer, Phoenix Valley was protected by the family's grand formation, making it spring-like all year round with a pleasant climate. The three of them walked slowly forward in a harmonious atmosphere, which made them feel extremely happy.
After walking for quite half a day, the three of them finally arrived at a large house with red walls and green tiles.
On the jade steps in front of the mansion, maids stood with their heads bowed.
Upon seeing the three arrive, the leading maid in green hurried forward: "Miss, Master has been waiting in Qingwei Hall for quite some time."
Chen Yunxi was taken aback, still thinking of sending a maid to inform them. Upon hearing this, Feng Momo unconsciously twirled the silk sash at her waist, a little habit she had when nervous.
Chen Qian keenly sensed this and quietly grasped her slightly cool fingertips.
"Don't be afraid, I'll take care of everything."
Feng Momo was naturally informed that the family head was about to take her in as his goddaughter, but she also knew that this was because of Chen Qian, and not because she was particularly outstanding herself.
From childhood, the head of the family had always been a tall and dignified figure in her mind. Suddenly, he was about to become her godfather. Even though she had always been a carefree and easygoing person, a little nervousness was inevitable.
This detail was noticed by the woman in white, who was in the shadows of the porch.
"Yunxi." The clear, cool voice was like a spring, soothing and refreshing.
Chen Yunyi emerged from behind the screen wall, dressed in a white dress, her demeanor elegant and graceful.
Sunlight swept across the ice crystal hairpin in her hair, casting dappled patterns of light on the bluestone slab.
What are you still standing there for?
"Sister!" Chen Yunxi quickened her pace and took her sister's arm. "Sister Momo and Brother Qian have arrived. Has Father found out?"
"I know. You've been wandering around for so long, but everything is ready."
Chen Yunyi nodded to Chen Qianfeng and Momo, her gaze lingering for a moment on the black iron buckle on Feng Momo's waist belt. "Father said you have good potential."
These words sounded like a compliment, but given her frosty tone, it was hard to tell what her true feelings were.
Feng Momo smiled brightly: "Hello, Sister Yunyi!"
Chen Yunyi was several years older than them, had a cold and aloof personality, and was a cultivation genius. Her life trajectory was very different from theirs.
Although she was not familiar with the two, Feng Momo admired this proud daughter of the Chen family.
"Come in, I'll go with you." Chen Yunyi turned and led the way.
Inside Qingwei Hall, Chen Hongming, the head of the Chen family, was admiring a bronze crane-shaped incense burner.
He was a middle-aged scholar with a refined appearance and a composed demeanor. One could vaguely tell that he had been a dashing and handsome man in his youth.
"Daddy!"
As Chen Qian and his group entered Qingwei Hall, Chen Yunxi called out to them.
"Brother Qian and Sister Momo have arrived."
Just as Chen Qian and his companion were about to bow, Chen Hongming waved his hand and said, "We're family, no need for formalities."
His gaze passed over his two daughters and landed on Chen Qian and Feng Momo. He said in a gentle tone, "Although I haven't seen you two for many years, we are not strangers. Please come up and sit down."
"Father!"
Feng Momo stepped forward and knelt down, but Chen Hongming helped her up after she only kowtowed once.
Looking up, she met the smiling eyes of the family head: "Cultivators don't usually do this, but since I've taken you as my daughter, there should be a ceremony. One kowtow will suffice."
As he spoke, he took the sandalwood box that had been prepared beforehand from the table and opened it, saying, "Inside is a Qingxin Pendant, which I will present as a gift to you."
The jade pendant in the box was warm to the touch, and its surface shimmered with a cloud-like aura.
Before Feng Momo could refuse, Chen Yunxi gently tugged at her sleeve: "The magic artifacts crafted by Father can nourish the soul and body of anyone below the Foundation Establishment stage. Please do not refuse, sister."
Chen Hongming stroked his beard and smiled, nodding in approval.
Although Chen Hongming was the head of the family, his cultivation was vigorous and advanced in his early years, but unfortunately he missed the opportunity to establish his foundation due to a serious injury.
He married and had a daughter in middle age. His wife passed away many years ago due to family feuds, and he has not remarried since.
Therefore, the family consisted of only the father and two daughters, and their interpersonal relationships were extremely simple.
As everyone sat down to chat, Chen Hongming didn't put on airs and kept asking Chen Qian and Feng Momo about their lives and experiences over the years.
Although Chen Yunyi doesn't talk much, she doesn't give off a cold vibe. She quietly stays by her side, listening attentively.
Feng Momo has a lively and cheerful personality, and soon her interactions with Chen Hongming and Chen Yunyi became natural and generous.
