Return of the Ancient Gods

After many twists and turns, Chu Nan and his companions returned to the original place, but they gained a lot.

"It is a good thing for young people to gain more experience and broaden their horizons."

"Uncle He Zhi, why are you just like my father, nagging?" Chu Nan complained.

Chen Hezhi smiled, knowing that Chu Nan and his son did not have a good relationship, and advised:

"Your father has high hopes for you, so his expectations of you in all aspects are much higher than those of others. Your performance in the past three years can be said to be a slap in his face. No wonder he is so disappointed in you!"

"I don't agree. I think my father is just jealous of my talent. After all, he is the least talented one in our family." Chu Nan was a little unconvinced and said jokingly.

He was a little choked, and after a long while, Chen Hezhi finally recovered. He was amused by Chu Nan's words:

"Your father is the least talented? You are probably the only one in the world who dares to say such a thing."

Walking into the door, Chu Nan saw Chen Pingan practicing sword in the courtyard. He found his target and changed the subject:

"In that case, why don't you tell this to Brother Ping An?"

"Haha, you all have stubborn tempers. Who would listen to an old man like me?" Chen Hezhi paused for a moment and laughed heartily.

"I just want to protect my father well. Don't try to persuade me to do anything else!" Chen Pingan also stopped and joined in.

Chu Nan accompanied Chen Hezhi to take a short break in the lake, sipping tea and watching Chen Pingan's swordsmanship.

"Let me do it." Chu Nan took the initiative to take over the job of serving tea and water, and served respectfully on the side. He glanced at Chen Pingan and took the initiative to suggest:

"Uncle He Zhi, Brother Ping An, over the past three years I have learned a set of acupuncture techniques that can help people reopen their profound meridians. How about I give you the acupuncture?"

"That's not necessary. Too much is as bad as too little. Don't be greedy!" Chen Hezhi waved his hand and refused, turning his gaze to Chen Pingan.

"I know what you mean, you should just ask about peace."

"I don't need it either. I've heard about the magic of your acupuncture, but I can't bear to give up my cultivation." Chen Pingan also refused, and then said:

"It's a bit boring to practice swordplay alone, why don't you and I have a sparring match, and I'll see what you've accomplished in the past period of time."

Chu Nan agreed without hesitation, holding a wooden sword and going down to fight with him.

Chen Ping'an is a strong man in the middle stage of Tianxuan Realm. He was once the number one prodigy in Da Chu. However, he retired with his father and gradually faded out of public sight.

The two did not use their true qi, but only exchanged swordsmanship, but this battle was extremely exciting:

"Xiao Nan, it is indeed a blessing for our Great Chu that you can get back on your feet, but you must make up for what you have missed as soon as possible.

Thinking back to the time when you suddenly emerged and were the talk of the town, I really miss you."

"Well, I will definitely encourage him." Chu Nan nodded, "I lost this battle!"

Chu Nan made a breakthrough in the battle, opened up the third secret treasure, and nurtured the Demon-Destroying Spear in the secret treasure of the Metal Lung, and the harvest was not small.

The situation was not as special and dangerous as last time, so it was much easier to open the secret treasure.

Now Chu Nan only has two secret treasures left to open, the Wood Phase and the Earth Phase, and he is very close to his goal of reaching the Tianxuan Realm.

At this time, Xueer came out with dishes to reward everyone.

"This Miss Xue'er is extremely beautiful and graceful. She is truly a beauty of the country." Chen Hezhi sneered and joked:

"It's a great blessing to have such a woman in one's life. You have four of them. Your father didn't have this blessing. Well, let me see how good her cooking is."

"I was just enjoying it for my unlucky father. My mother was very strict, so he didn't dare to do anything rash. In fact, he was also a playboy. Otherwise, how could there be a playboy like me?"

"You are very unlike your father in this respect. Your parents are truly a model of a loving couple."

Although it was such a relaxing and playful scene, Chu Nan's uneasiness became more and more intense.

Xueer spent half a day preparing two world-class dishes:

Looking up at the starry sky, there are a dozen dead fish heads stuck upright on a pancake, and there is a pot of black and sticky liquid, which is called the magic soup.

"What's wrong? Don't you like it? I read in a book that these two dishes can help people feel refreshed and will definitely conquer everyone's taste buds. This is my first time cooking, so I don't know if I can do it well." Xue'er looked innocent and uneasy.

"How can I not like it? Xue'er, you have cooked very well. You really are worthy of being a born little chef." Chu Nan complimented, trying not to look at the food.

As soon as Chu Nan said this, he was immediately met with contempt from Chen Hezhi and his son. They tacitly pushed the dishes towards Chu Nan.
