New Return of the Pearl: The Group's Pet Swallow Flies

When Xiaoyanzi heard the applause, she subconsciously looked over there. It would have been better if she hadn't looked. When she looked, she felt a warm current in her heart. She saw her parents, her relatives and friends standing there, about twenty people in total. At this moment, everyone's face was filled with pride, and their eyes were fixed on her, as if she was the most dazzling existence in the world, and they were truly proud and pleased for her.

She could no longer suppress her inner joy, and her lips lifted up involuntarily, as beautiful as a flower blooming in spring. At this moment, a warm current slowly flowed through her heart, making her immersed in warmth and happiness.

Recalling the time before, she carefully hung the token symbolizing honor and responsibility around her slender waist. At this moment, she reached out and gently stroked the token. When her fingertips touched the four powerful characters engraved on it, the warmth in her heart became stronger, as if the warm sun in winter was shining directly into the depths of her heart.

She feels extremely lucky and happy to have such a group of caring family members and sincere friends around her in this life. This sense of happiness is like a sweet rain that moistens the dry heart, making her intoxicated and unable to extricate herself.

At this moment, the others around him finally recovered from their shock and clapped their hands excitedly. The cheers rose and fell, resounding through the sky. The warm applause and cheers intertwined together, like an exciting symphony, pushing the atmosphere to a climax.

Until this moment, this grand and wonderful martial arts conference finally came to an end. Everything was so perfect and satisfying. And Xiaoyanzi, relying on her outstanding martial arts and extraordinary wisdom, became the youngest and most powerful martial arts leader in history. From then on, there was another legendary story about her in the martial arts world.

"Xiaoyanzi, you are so awesome! You are simply invincible! From now on, we should respectfully call you the leader of the martial arts world, hahahaha!" Ziwei, Qing'er and other friends rushed forward excitedly and surrounded Xiaoyanzi who had just walked down from the ring. Everyone's face was filled with smiles of admiration and praise.

Xiaoyanzi was surrounded by people. After hearing Huo Yuqi's teasing words, her fair cheeks instantly flushed with a faint blush, as beautiful as peach blossoms blooming in spring. However, although she was a little embarrassed, she couldn't help but raise the corners of her mouth, forming a playful and confident arc. She thought to herself: Hey, this girl really performed very well!

"Ahem... Thank you for your praise! The title of leader of the martial arts world is just an illusory title. It's really not worth mentioning! You all should just call me Xiaoyanzi as you did before, hahahaha." Xiaoyanzi waved her hands in a humble manner and laughed heartily.

After hearing this, everyone couldn't help but burst into laughter again. They all felt that Xiaoyanzi was not only highly skilled in martial arts, but also had a naive and lovely personality, which made people like her from the bottom of their hearts.

Just as everyone was laughing and talking, they suddenly found that more and more people were gathering around them, surrounding them tightly. From time to time, there were bursts of exclamations and discussions from the crowd, and it was obvious that they were full of praise for Xiaoyanzi's wonderful performance on the ring. Seeing this, everyone knew that it was not appropriate to stay here for long, so they exchanged glances and decided to return to their residence quickly so that they could sit down quietly and talk about their experiences since they separated.

At the same time, several clan leaders standing on the stage looked at Xiaoyanzi's departing back, their eyes showing strong interest and admiration. They looked at each other, and then spontaneously wanted to get off the stage and chase in the direction where Xiaoyanzi left, thinking in their hearts that they wanted to get to know this extraordinary girl and test whether she was interested in joining their clan.

Before they could take any action, they heard a slight noise. Looking in the direction of the sound, they saw that Mr. Lin stood up from his seat slowly. His slightly old but still vigorous figure slowly stood up in front of everyone. At the same time, he uttered some seemingly careless but actually meaningful words: "Oh, today Xiaoyanzi has become the leader of the martial arts world! I have to go back home quickly to prepare a feast and reward this child. She must be very tired from running around these days!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Lin turned around and made a move to leave. However, at this moment, the eyes of the other clan leaders present suddenly lit up, as if they had caught some important information. They all stepped forward quickly and blocked Mr. Lin's way. One of them asked anxiously, "Grandpa, what exactly do you mean by what you just said? Could it be that Xiaoyanzi has been living in your house all this time? I dare to ask, what is her connection with your house?"

Facing the questions from everyone, Mr. Lin did not answer directly. He first turned his head to look at his grandson Duanmu Qing, his granddaughter-in-law, and his great-grandson, who were surrounding the petite and lovely little girl and walking slowly towards the Lin Mansion, with a look of pride and satisfaction in his eyes.

Then, he turned his gaze back to the several clan leaders in front of him, smiled slightly, and revealed a little bit of the inside story: "To be honest, my grandson Duanmu Qing was once Xiaoyanzi's registered master; and my granddaughter-in-law is the famous master of the Divine Doctor Valley. As for my lovely great-grandson, he can be regarded as Xiaoyanzi's junior fellow apprentice! You might as well think about it, in this case, what kind of relationship do we have with Xiaoyanzi?"

As soon as he finished speaking, he completely ignored the shocked reactions of the people behind him. He just laughed a few times, his laughter echoing in the air, as if he wanted to convey his joy to the whole world. Then, he turned around without hesitation, took firm and powerful steps, and strode straight towards home.

What he just said was not a lie, but a true thought from the bottom of his heart. He really wanted to return home as soon as possible to hold a big banquet and celebrate. After all, the number of guests in their house was increasing day by day, and all of this was thanks to the quirky and lovable little Swallow girl.

At this moment, the three clan leaders and the respected host changed their expressions slightly. After exchanging glances, they began to ponder in their hearts: Should they take the initiative to establish a friendship with the new leader of the martial arts world? However, after careful consideration, they finally decided to hold back for the time being. After all, it seemed that the Lin Mansion would be very lively tonight. Instead of joining in the fun, it would be better to wait until tomorrow to visit in person. Perhaps this would better show their sincerity.

In this way, Xiaoyanzi led her companions and marched towards the direction of Lin Mansion under the curious and surprised gazes of many onlookers. People in the crowd cast envious glances and kept looking at the team.

The men were handsome and graceful, while the women were pretty and graceful. Everyone could not help but show a trace of envy in their eyes, and secretly sighed in their hearts: "These people are really born with good looks!"

These handsome men and beautiful women with good looks and graceful figures make many unmarried young men and girls feel moved. They secretly wonder if they can walk up to them and chat with them, perhaps they can get a chance to get to know each other.

However, if you look more closely, you will notice something. It turns out that those eye-catching figures are either walking side by side in pairs, being intimate with each other; or a few girls are walking hand in hand in front, and behind them, a few men are walking side by side, although they seem to be careless, but their eyes are always fixed on those girls, and the affectionate look is self-evident - it is obvious that they have someone in their heart.

After seeing this scene, those who were originally full of expectations and eager to try could only sigh helplessly, withdrew their gazes with regret, and no longer had too many fantasies and nostalgia for these people.

Look at this side, the lively and lovely Xiaoyanzi tightly holds the gentle and graceful Ziwei with her left hand, and intimately holds the dignified and beautiful Qing'er with her right hand, and the chivalrous Liuhong is also by their side. These four beauties walk side by side, like a beautiful landscape, attracting the attention of many passers-by. Not far behind them, Ertai, Erkang, Xiaofeng and Luo Junchen are following them leisurely.

They chatted in low voices about a wide variety of topics, but whenever they inadvertently looked up at the beautiful figures in front of them, a warm smile would involuntarily reveal in their eyes.

Looking back, I saw Benjamin and Anyaxin whispering with their heads down, as if they had endless secrets to tell; Liu Qing and Qianyue were walking slowly forward, discussing the various mysteries of martial arts with great interest; as for Yongqi, he occasionally cast his gaze at Mu Yunzhi, as if he wanted to say something to her, but every time he got to the point of his lips, he didn't know how to start, so he could only stare silently for a moment and then look away again.

Huo Yuqi crossed his arms and followed the crowd lazily. His eyes would occasionally scan the couples in front of him, and he couldn't help but feel a little envious and disappointed. Whenever this happened, he would involuntarily turn his head and look at the position on the platform not far away, hoping to see the girl who made his heart beat again.

After all, the martial arts conference has ended. Whether he can see the girl again in the future and whether he will have another chance to contact her are all questions that make him a little uneasy.

At the same time, Duanmu Qing, Xiao Zhihang and Liu Chenfeng walked side by side, enthusiastically discussing martial arts. Sometimes they demonstrated their moves, sometimes they exchanged their experiences, and the atmosphere was very harmonious. Not only that, the three of them also talked about the Japanese pirate incident that occurred in Yunzhou City in recent days.

Not long ago, the officers and soldiers of Yunzhou City successfully captured a group of vicious Japanese pirates. These pirates were extremely cruel and had killed many innocent girls. Some of them were killed, while others survived. Fortunately, Xiaoyanzi's new apprentice Liu Yuanxi (Xiaoyanzi) was extremely brave and killed most of the pirates on the spot, but a few of them still survived.

Facing these pirates who had not yet been executed, the three discussed how to deal with them in order to appease the public anger. In the end, they proposed several bloody methods: either to execute these pirates by being torn apart by five horses in front of the people of the city; or to torture them by slow slicing, letting them die slowly in extreme pain. Although these proposals sound horrifying, for those pirates who have committed many evil deeds, such punishment may be exactly what they deserve.

After all, how could they show the slightest bit of mercy when facing those extremely vicious Japanese pirates who committed arson, murder, looting and all sorts of atrocities?

As they walked, several men were discussing seriously how to deal with these evil Japanese pirates in front of many people. They expressed their opinions, some advocated beheading them in public to serve as a warning to others, while others believed that they should be severely punished to deter other bandits who attempted to invade the Central Plains.

At the same time, Huo Chengyue and Du Xueyin were holding hands and talking softly about their children's marriage. Seeing that these children have gradually grown up and each of them has their favorite person, it seems that in a few years, they will all enter the marriage hall and start a family. Thinking of this, Huo Chengyue couldn't help but sigh that time flies.

In this way, the group of people, with their own different thoughts, slowly set out on their way home, staggering all the way towards the Lin Mansion. Mr. Lin, who was walking in the front, had already bypassed the main group and returned to the mansion first, and had already ordered the servants to start preparing a sumptuous lunch.

The martial arts conference went very smoothly and ended before noon. In this way, everyone was able to have lunch. Knowing that there were a large number of people coming to the banquet, as many as 20 to 30 people, Mr. Lin specifically instructed the kitchen to carefully prepare a large-scale family banquet. Not only should there be a variety of delicious dishes, but also to ensure that there is an adequate supply of wine and food to avoid shortages.

After everyone arrived at the Lin residence and rested for a while, the time was almost up. So everyone got up and went to the dining hall to enjoy this long-awaited feast together.

There were so many people at the party that one table could not accommodate everyone at the same time. After some discussion, everyone decided to divide into three groups: adults, teenagers, and girls.
