Chaos Spirit Field

After many years, Zhao Shanhe returned to his hometown, overwhelmed with emotion. He followed the path he remembered and found Zhaojia Village. The village was pitch dark; it was still some time before dawn, so the lack of lights was normal. He returned to his home, which was covered in cobwebs, as if it had been uninhabited for a long time. His parents must have lived in the city. He used magic to clean the house, then lay in bed, gazing up at the roof, and recalled every detail of the past.

Just then, there was a knock on the door. Zhao Shanhe stood up and opened the door. The person who came saw him and was confused. After thinking for a long time, he said, "You are an idiot."

"Second Idiot", it's been a while since anyone called him that. Zhao Shanhe wasn't angry, but felt very friendly. He said, "Uncle Big Dog, long time no see."

"Shanhe, it's really you. I heard that you joined the Immortal Sect. Why are you back?"

"I miss home, so I came back to visit. Uncle Big Dog, Luo Tian didn't hold you responsible."

"Master Immortal has shown mercy, who dares to pursue the matter?"

"My father is so generous."

"After all, we are brothers who share life and death. Do you want to hear my story?"

"I have nothing to do, so it's okay to listen."

"My name is Zhao Dagou. I'm the same age as your father, and we share a similar fate. My parents are both skilled ginseng collectors. They went to the depths of Funiu Mountain to collect century-old ginseng. Because your father and I were of military service age, we could be exempted by donating 500 taels of silver. Unfortunately, they encountered a demonic beast while collecting ginseng, and only your grandfather returned, injured."

"Monster, have you encountered a tiger?" Zhao Shanhe's eyes flashed with murderous intent, but it was gone in an instant. Meanwhile, the tiger, far away in the old forest, suddenly shuddered, unsure of how it had offended its perverted master.

Zhao Dagou continued his recollection, "They encountered a pack of ferocious demonic wolves. After your grandfather returned, he gave a few words before dying. My father and his men never returned, and no trace of their remains remains. Filled with endless sorrow, your father and I joined the army. Your father was gifted and handsome, and it wasn't long before he rose to prominence in the army. I, on the other hand, paled in comparison, and the gap between us became increasingly apparent, gradually alienating our relationship. One day, I was out buying alcohol when my wallet was stolen. Just when I was at a loss, a chubby, lovely girl reached out to help me and resolved the crisis. From that moment on, I fell deeply in love with her."

Zhao Shanhe thought this was just a bad TV drama from his past life, and couldn't help but interrupt, "Uncle Big Dog, if I'm not mistaken, that girl is General Zhao's daughter!"

"Shanhe, you guessed wrong. She is not the daughter of General Zhao, but his sister. Back then, General Zhao led a large army to launch a surprise attack on Maicheng of the Great Jin Kingdom. If Luo Tian's reinforcements had arrived in time, they would have been able to capture the city in one fell swoop, and the 30,000-strong Zhao army would not have been wiped out. Ruhua would not have died. Not only did your father flee from the battlefield, he also knocked me unconscious and deserted the battlefield. Otherwise, I could have been buried in the ground with Ruhua." At this point, Uncle Dagou's voice was filled with grief and sadness.

Zhao Shanhe was choked up by what he heard and said angrily, "My father really went too far. He shouldn't have rescued such an ungrateful person like you! Go away! I'll spare your life for my father's sake. You little soldier, what a fool to pretend to be? You don't know what's good for you."

"You idiot, how can you talk like that? I'm your elder."

"Zhao Dagou, stop flattering yourself. To avenge that meaningless hatred, you schemed against your brother who was so devoted to you. No one with a conscience would do that. It's completely unnecessary for me to say so much to someone like you. You're a narrow-minded person to begin with. It's not too late for you to be buried with Ruhua. What the hell, get out of here!"

A gust of wind blew from the house, and Zhao Dagou was blown out of the door. He got up and walked away dejectedly. Only now did he realize that Zhao Shanhe was no longer the fool he had been before, but a high and mighty immortal master.

Zhao Shanhe originally thought it was a touching love story, but it turned out to be something disgusting and really disgusting. He changed his mind and thought, she was just an irrelevant person, so why should he get angry? It seems that his skills in cultivating his energy are still not good enough.

Early the next morning, Zhao Shanhe left home and came to the Yang Mansion in Luocheng. He knocked on the door, but the servant who opened the door was a newcomer and not someone he knew.

The servants of the Yang Mansion saw Zhao Shanhe's attire and quickly saluted: "Yang Fugui greets the Immortal Master. This is the residence of the Prince of Loyalty. I wonder if the Immortal Master has any instructions."

Zhao Shanhe said, "My master, Yang Xiaozhu, is here. I'm looking for him."

"Master Immortal, Prince Zhongyi has moved to the capital. You can go find him there."

"Is Zhao Dabao and his family here?"

"Master Immortal, Mr. Zhao and his family also moved to the capital."

At this moment, a familiar voice was heard, and the person said, "Shanhe, you actually call me your father by my name. That's really outrageous."

Zhao Shanhe turned around and saw that the person coming was the one he had been thinking about day and night. Zhao Dabao stretched out his arms and waited for his son to give him a hug, but his son passed him and hugged Yang Xiaoe behind him.

"Mom, I miss you so much."

"Shanhe, you've grown so tall in just a few years since we left. It seems the food in the Qingniu Sect is pretty good."

"Mom, you don't seem surprised at all that I'm back."

"Your aunt wrote to me a few days ago. We rushed back from the capital and just arrived today. I thought you would come here. Let's go into the mansion and talk."

Zhao Shanhe turned around and gave his father a hug. Zhao Dabao said, "You were still so clever when you were little. You only had eyes for your mother."

"Dad, if you compete with Mom for her favor, you'll definitely lose. If you don't believe me, ask Shanhu."

Zhao Shanhu said aggrievedly: "Second brother, you haven't hugged me yet?"

Zhao Shanhe picked up his sister and said, "Shanhu, you haven't grown much in the past three years. You're still so short."

Zhao Shanhu couldn't help but complain, "Second brother, when you're not at home, no one makes delicious food for me. Those chefs are far worse than you."

"I'll make you something delicious soon, brother. Long time no see."

"Second brother, you can't be too homesick when cultivating immortality. I plan to stay for a few days this time."

"We have to stay at least until the 28th of this month to celebrate Mother's birthday before we leave."

Yang Xiao'e said, "Shanhe still remembered my birthday. It's really worth it. Let's go back to the mansion first. We are all surrounded by onlookers."

Zhao Shanhe's outfit was too eye-catching. As they walked into the Yang residence, Zhao Shanhe couldn't help but ask, "Mom, doesn't my uncle know I'm back? Why hasn't he come back?"

"Son, don't blame your uncle. Your aunt is about to give birth and he can't leave."

"Mom, I'm just curious why my uncle didn't come back since he doesn't love me the most. My uncle is going to be a father soon, which is such a happy event. Has my brother found a wife yet?"

"When I think of your brother's marriage, it gives me a headache. He wants to marry the Tenth Princess, Ouyang Chenxi, but I don't think it's appropriate."

"Mother, my elder brother is a handsome man, more than suitable for a princess."

Zhao Shanjiang said, "Mother, you see, my second brother also agrees with me marrying the Tenth Princess."

Yang Xiao'e said earnestly, "Shanjiang, the Tenth Princess is not a good match for a family. You are too honest to control her."

Zhao Shanjiang said firmly, "Mother, I will not marry anyone other than the Tenth Princess."
