Xu An was puzzled. He looked left and right but didn't see anyone.

Shit, is this a ghost? I heard that you can't turn around when a ghost calls you? I can beat a monster, but I may not beat a ghost. I'll run away first.

Xu An accelerated and ran forward.

"You really have become stronger."

?

Xu An stopped. This voice...

"Ze'an!"

It’s Ze’an.

Ze'an jumped down and stood in front of Xu'an.

"You...have changed. I just saw it. It's amazing."

When he saw it, Xu An was even happier, and said complacently: "I have learned so much. Not only did I learn a lot of moves, I also learned how to control talismans. Look, this is the sword Yan Muyi made for me. He also taught me a lot, which is more useful than what Zhu Yu taught me. And Yan Muyi is a really good person. I misunderstood him before, and he brought me mung bean cakes to help me vent my anger..."

Talking about what happened in these days, there are so many things that Xu An can't even list them all.

She told Ze'an about how she carved wood to make playing cards in the sect and how powerful she was in the dungeon.

"Also, Yan Muyi has always been protecting me. Whenever I encounter problems, he always shows up first. And Zhu Yu has a stern face but he is a very nice person. He always notices what I need and what I lack..."

Ze'an felt a little jealous when he heard Xu An praising other men all the time, but he couldn't bear to interrupt her cheerful story.

So, Ze'an hugged Xu An and held her.

pounding——

His heart was beating fast and hot. He didn't hesitate and hugged Xu An tightly. Without saying a word, he just held her in his arms silently.

There was a faint fragrance in Xu An's hair, very light but very pleasing to the heart.

Xu An was stunned by the sudden hug. She didn't continue talking, but only felt the other person's heartbeat colliding with her own.

Both of them were a little nervous and shy. Ze'an closed his eyes and rested his chin lightly on Xu An's head. He didn't dare to move his hands and could only put his arms around Xu An's back.

"Ze'an...you..."

Xu An didn't dare to breathe deeply and could only inhale and exhale gently. Her head was buzzing and she didn't know what was going on.

Ze An murmured softly, "Don't you miss me at all?"

ah……?

"I...I think..."

Xu An still hasn't understood what Ze An means.

"I thought you would stay in the mountains and never come back."

"How could that be? I said I would come back."

Xu An slowly reached out and stroked Ze An's waist and back.

"You're already a grown-up, if you miss me, just tell me. I thought you were going to cry after seeing this."

Ze'an let go, pursed his lips and smiled, "Okay, let's go, mom is waiting at home."

"it is good."

Xu An followed Ze'an and sat on the spirit beast, and she felt a surge of joy in her heart.

Ze'an is still a younger brother after all. I've been away from home for so long, and those brothers and sisters must have picked on him a lot. Alas, it's a pity that I'm not your older sister.

Arriving at the Marquis' Mansion very quickly, Xu An ran towards Xiaoyu immediately.

"Xiaoyu, long time no see!"

She picked up Xiaoyu and spun her around.

"Miss, Miss, you can't do this."

"What's the big deal! I'm a lady, you listen to me!"

Xiaoyu was a little shy, and the lady actually picked her up.

Xu An put Xiaoyu down, took her hand, took out the beautiful necklaces, bracelets, crystals, etc. from his sleeves, and stuffed them into Xiaoyu's hands.

"Here, I got these from the sect. Zhu Yu gave them to me, but I don't have any use for them. Take them."

Xiaoyu was about to salute but was pulled up by Xu An.

"No need to salute, just go and do your work. I'll go see mom and dad."

Xu An turned around, grabbed Ze An's hand, and walked towards the main hall.

"Mom! Dad! I'm back."

Before they reached the hall, Madam Xia and Mr. Jiang came out upon hearing the sound.

"Ouch, Aang!"

Xu An slowed down his pace and walked in front of the two people.

"I'm back. Are you all right? The weather is a bit cold, so please keep warm."

"Don't worry, An'an. Mom and dad are doing fine. They just miss you a lot. I heard you joined the sect. How are you doing there?"

"It's fine. Yan Muyi has also gone up the mountain. He takes care of me everywhere."

"That's good. Come on, let's go inside and talk."

Xu An looked back at Ze An, who stood there and nodded, indicating that she didn't need to worry about him.

Madam Xia and Mr. Jiang each held one of Xu An's hands.

"An An, come and sit down. Mommy has a lot to say to you."

"Mom, you said, I will accompany you all today."

Xu An had never spent a day with her parents. At this moment, her heart was filled with joy, as if they were her own parents.

"An An, we know that the rules in the sect are very strict, so you must have suffered a lot. I know even if you don't tell us. You can see that your hands are all calloused. But I'm not telling you this to persuade you to leave the mountain. I want to tell you that we support you in whatever you want to do, but you have to take care of yourself."

"Mom... I know that if you don't support me, someone will come and take me away on my first day up the mountain."

"Also, An An, we don't blame Ze An, he is a good boy, but he is not my child. His name is a long story, and there are many things that cannot be explained clearly. He was born for you. I am not belittling him, but he exists for you."

"Why do you say that?"

Madam Xia shook her head and looked at Master Jiang.

Master Jiang said, "You will know some things later. Your father and mother can only say this much. The secret cannot be revealed."

Xu An was confused. What did this have to do with the secrets of heaven?

Madam Xia asked kindly, "An An, I heard that you are going to take an assessment for your disciples?"

"Yes, in three days."

"Okay, when the time comes, your mother and father will bring your brothers and sisters with us, and we will support you."

"Really? Mom...you're so good to me..."

"Silly girl, you are the one that mother loves the most. I heard that the princess and several other daughters are also in the sect?"

"Yes, it seems that the princess is good at both literature and martial arts, and those young ladies are also very powerful."

"It's okay, An An, just do your best and don't hurt yourself."

Master Jiang reached out and held Xu An's hand, smiling, "An An, tell your parents if there is a man you like in the sect?"

"Ah... this... how did parents know?"

"Oh, An An, hahaha, just like your mother. Your mother likes someone and she will stick with him/her until the end. Very good, very good!"

"Your father was very cold at that time. Several people were pestering him, and he cursed them one by one. Only I, your mother, took him down."

"Okay, mom, I understand. If you like someone, you should just go for it without any regrets."

"Yeah."

"Mom and Dad, I've changed so much since I fell into the water. Don't you doubt me? What if I'm not your child?"

Xu An mustered up his courage and asked tentatively.

Madam Xia paused, then continued, "No matter how An An changes, she is still our An An, silly child, don't think too much."

"Okay, Mom, I miss you guys so much..."

Xu An hugged the two of them as if he were hugging his own parents.

Dad and Mom, where are you? I miss you so much.
