After crossing, I surrounded the capital from the countryside

Not long after, a slight sound of breaking air came from afar, and the baby's familiar figure appeared in front of them like a ghost.

He flashed and came to Xu Qingqing and Xiao Yuheng. Xu Qingqing looked up and saw the baby's round eyes looking at her worriedly, and a warm feeling surged in her heart.

"Baby, thank you." Xu Qingqing said gratefully, while holding Xiao Yuheng's body and leaning towards the baby. The baby didn't say much, just smiled slightly, and waved his hand gently. His body shape gradually changed, turning into a huge cloud, soft and white, gently holding the two of them in his arms. With a light jump, the cloud seemed to have life, soaring into the air and quickly flying towards the direction of Xiaoyao Sect.

Under the night sky, the stars are twinkling and everything is silent, with only the subtle sound of clouds cutting through the air and the baby's steady and strong heartbeat.

Xu Qingqing sat on the cloud, feeling the fresh air around her and the gentle breeze on her face, and an indescribable sense of tranquility and relaxation welled up in her heart.

She looked down at Xiao Yuheng in her arms. Although his face was still pale, he seemed more peaceful under the protection of the baby cloud. Xu Qingqing gently stroked his face.

Looking up, I saw the night falling, and the stars dotted the deep sky like sparkling diamonds scattered on black satin.

Looking down from above the clouds, the mountains, rivers and people below present a completely different, tranquil and magnificent picture under the cover of night.

In the dimly lit area, candlelight interweaves into a sea of ​​light. The soft and warm light from the windows is like the brightest star in the night sky, guiding the way home. Lanterns on both sides of the busy streets are connected in a line, like a golden ribbon, gently surrounding this city that never sleeps, lighting the way forward for people walking at night.

The mountains in the distance seem even deeper and more mysterious in the night. On the top of the mountain, there may be stars that have not yet slept, looking at them. At the foot of the mountain, the stream gurgles, and the sound of flowing water is particularly clear in the quiet night. Occasionally, a few fishing lights can be seen on both sides of the stream, flickering with a faint light, echoing the stars in the sky.

Although the smoke from the cooking fires in every household has dissipated, the atmosphere of simplicity and harmony still permeates the air. The occasional barking of dogs or crowing of chickens adds a touch of reality and liveliness to the rural life.

Mountains, rivers, lakes, fields and villages interweave into beautiful pictures in the night, which makes Xu Qingqing marvel at the ingenuity of nature. She closed her eyes, took a deep breath, and felt the gift and tranquility from nature at this moment.

"Baby, thank you." Xu Qingqing said softly, and at the same time, the baby's gentle but firm voice came to her ears.

"I was about to arrive at Xiaoyao Sect with Yuan Ye and the others, but I sensed that you were agitated, so I guessed that you might be in danger. So, I quickly placed Yuan Ye and his family in Xiaoyao Sect, and immediately set off to rush back. Fortunately, I caught up with you."

Xu Qingqing felt comforted listening to the baby constantly expressing his concerns for her.

She couldn't help but hug Xiao Yuheng tightly, with gentle eyes. She looked at Xiao Yuheng, then at the baby. Thinking of everyone she had met since she traveled through time, she felt extremely relieved and happy, as well as endless motivation.

The baby brought Xiao Yuheng and Xu Qingqing to slowly land not far from Xiaoyao Sect, then turned into a human form and helped Xu Qingqing drag Xiao Yuheng towards Xiaoyao Sect.

After a while, they saw the bright lights in Xiaoyao Sect, as if welcoming their return in the warmest way.

The air was filled with anticipation and joy, and everyone's face was filled with smiles as they saw their loved ones return.

Among the crowd standing at the door waiting, there were older elders with smiles in their eyes, who were pleased with the children's safe return and expected for their growth; there were friends of the same age, who were waving their arms excitedly, as if to say, "You are finally back!"; and there were those tender little faces, who although could hardly hide their sleepiness, their persistence and reluctance were touching, and their small bodies concealed a deep attachment to Xu Qingqing, who protected them as they grew up.

In the kitchen, the steam is bubbling and the aroma is overflowing. The busy figures of the chef and his wife appear particularly warm under the light. They work tirelessly to prepare table after table of sumptuous meals, and each dish carries the thoughts and blessings for the returning family.

Xu Qingqing looked at all this, and her heart was filled with indescribable emotion. At this moment, all the fatigue and hardship disappeared, leaving only a heart full of happiness and gratitude.

When Xu Qingqing and the other two entered Xiaoyao Sect, the air was instantly filled with laughter and joy. Everyone came forward, their faces filled with genuine joy.

"Oh, Qingqing, you're finally back! We were so worried!" Aunt Wang walked quickly forward, took Xu Qingqing's hand, her eyes full of concern and joy.

"Yes, yes! When we heard that you were in trouble, our hearts were in our throats. Now we are glad to see that you are safe and sound!" An older man nearby also came over, "Hey, Mr. Xiao is injured! Quick, quick, everyone help send Mr. Xiao to his room."

As he said this, he called on the men around him to come forward and help.

Only after Xiao Yuheng was settled did Xu Qingqing appear outside again.

The children were all very excited to see her. They rushed over and circled around Xu Qingqing, saying in unison: "Sister Qingqing, did you bring us gifts?"

"Sister Qingqing, have you encountered anything interesting?"

Xu Qingqing was surrounded by this enthusiasm. She squatted down and said to the children with a smile: "Of course there are gifts, but you have to finish your meal before you can give them to you. Also, Brother Yuheng and I did encounter a lot of interesting things this time. I will slowly tell you about them later."

At this time, Lu Zhenting also slowly came over, looked Xu Qingqing up and down, and saw that she was fine, so he said gently: "It's great that you can return safely."

The rest of the people around them also echoed the sentiment. Some handed them hot tea, while others pulled them towards the dining table, fearing that they would be hungry or tired.

"Come, come, the food is ready, eat it while it's hot!" an aunt in charge of meals greeted enthusiastically.

Xu Qingqing pulled her baby and sat down with a smile. During the meal, she introduced the baby to everyone. Of course, this time she did not reveal the baby's true identity.

The entire Xiaoyao Sect was immersed in a joyful and peaceful atmosphere.

After the meal, everyone from Xiaoyao Sect gradually dispersed.

Xu Qingqing asked Bao Bao to go and rest first, as she would need Bao Bao to pick up He Anran and his group who were leaving tomorrow.
