I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

The aroma soon wafted from the kitchen.

The sweet aroma of sweet and sour spare ribs, the sauce aroma of braised fish, and the fresh aroma of stir-fried seasonal vegetables intertwined together, attracting Ran Qianqian in the living room to peek in frequently.

Ye Chuhan leaned back on the sofa and smacked his lips. "With Mingchuan's cooking skills, he could be very successful if he opened a restaurant. It's a pity that he will soon have to return to the world of cultivation and be his Cang Ziang again."

Jin Man sat aside, watching the sky gradually darken outside the window, and said softly, "The longer he stays here, the more likely Su Hongzhen will become suspicious. It's better for him to go back early."

Not long after, Mingchuan walked out of the kitchen with the last dish of soup and shouted into the living room.

"Jizhou, Axiong, Dalang, come over for dinner!"

Jizhou, Axiong and Meng Dalang, who were tidying up debris in the yard, immediately responded and ran in.

Ye Yan and Lu Qiu also walked out of the room. Everyone sat around the table, looking at the table full of delicious food with smiles on their faces.

Mingchuan picked up his chopsticks and picked up a piece of pork ribs for Leng Xi beside him before he said, "I have something to tell you all. I have fully recovered. Thank you for taking turns to take care of the three of us during this period!"

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at him with dissatisfaction.

"Brother, what's wrong with you? Why are you still talking about thanking us?" Axiong said.

Mingchuan chuckled twice, and Ran Qianqian picked up her chopsticks: "I'm glad you've recovered. Come and try the ribs you made yourself, they must be delicious!"

Seeing everyone smiling and happily preparing for dinner, Mingchuan felt reluctant to leave.

Perhaps it was because after he came back, he learned that everyone had been waiting for him for a whole year, and he felt really sad.

However, I can't stay in the land of comfort any longer.

He didn't want to interrupt everyone's happiness, but if he didn't say it, there would be no chance.

So Mingchuan could only change the subject and glance at everyone: "There is one more thing... This dinner tonight is a farewell dinner. I have to return to Qingcheng Yufa Sect tomorrow."

As soon as the words fell, the lively atmosphere at the table froze instantly.

Ran Qianqian's hand holding the spareribs stopped mid-air, her eyes suddenly reddened: "You just woke up not long ago, and you're so badly injured, why don't you take some more time to recuperate before leaving? Can't you stay a few more days?"

The bowl in Axiong's hand also hit the table with a "clang". This strong man who is usually carefree now has a rolling Adam's apple and his voice is a little trembling.

"Brother Ming, you just dealt with the Demon Lord, why are you in such a hurry to leave? Can't the cultivation world really do without you?"

"We haven't been together for a long time! We didn't even have a proper meal this time..."

Jizhou frowned and said nothing, but he expressed his sadness and reluctance.

Meng Dalang was even more hesitant to speak.

Ye Yan put down his chopsticks and sighed, "Forget it. We can't change what Mingchuan has decided. You're not fully recovered yet, so you must take good care of yourself when you go back. Don't work yourself to death like you did this time."

When Dong Chuyan heard this, she felt even more sad. Tears welled up in her eyes and didn't fall for a long time.

Mingchuan looked at the depressed expressions on everyone's faces and felt bad. He put down his chopsticks and said seriously, "I know everyone is reluctant to leave. I also want to stay a few more days, but I have some matters waiting for me to deal with at the Qingcheng Yufa Sect, so I can't delay."

He looked at everyone and softened his tone, "This time when I go back, I will finish the matter as soon as possible and won't keep you waiting too long."

Leng Xi gently patted Ran Qianqian and Dong Chuyan's hands, then looked at everyone and said softly, "Don't be sad, everyone. Since Mingchuan has made up his mind, he must have his reasons. We just need to wait for him to come back, and then he can make us a table full of delicious food."

"Okay, I'll do as you say." Mingchuan nodded with a smile, then looked at Axiong. Seeing that his eyes were red and his mouth was turned down, he couldn't help but teasing, "Axiong, you're a grown man, don't shed tears, otherwise if it gets out, people will think I bullied you."

Ah Xiong wiped his face fiercely, stiffening his neck and saying, "Who's crying? I've got sand in my eyes!"

But as soon as she finished speaking, she couldn't hold back her tears anymore. Finally, she simply wiped her face and cried, "Brother Ming, you must come back soon. We are all waiting for you!"

Everyone looked at him like this, feeling both distressed and amused, and the originally heavy atmosphere eased a lot.

Mingchuan picked up some food for everyone and said with a smile, "Come on, let's eat. The food is getting cold. Let's eat and drink well. When I come back, I'll make you something even better."

The sound of dishes and chopsticks colliding could be heard again on the dinner table. Although everyone was still reluctant to let Mingchuan go, they also knew that they could not keep him. They could only eat while repeatedly reminding him to be careful.

Ye Chuhan patted his chest and assured: "Don't worry, I will keep an eye on Mingchuan and prevent him from risking his life again!"

At the end of the meal, Ran Qianqian took Mingchuan's hand and whispered, "Mingchuan, if you have been wronged in the cultivation world, come back. We are all here."

Dong Chuyan also nodded: "We will take good care of the family, you can go about your business with peace of mind."

Mingchuan looked at the people in front of him, his heart filled with warmth. He nodded vigorously: "Okay, I'll remember it. When I come back, we'll have dinner together like today!"

As the night deepened and the farewell dinner ended, everyone said goodbye to Mingchuan reluctantly.

When Ah Xiong left, he kept looking back and muttering "Come back soon", which made everyone feel sad again.

After seeing everyone off, Leng Xi accompanied Mingchuan to clean up the dishes. She looked at Mingchuan and said softly, "Don't worry about them. I will contact them frequently to reassure them."

Mingchuan stopped what he was doing, held her hand, his eyes a little warm: "Thank you, my wife, and everyone for being so considerate of me."

"We all know that you are doing what you should do." Leng Xi smiled, "Rest early, we still have to travel tomorrow."

Mingchuan hugged her tightly in his arms, placed his head on top of hers and stroked it gently.

"I promise you... I will definitely take you away. I don't want to be separated from you anymore..."

Leng Xi closed her eyes and a tear fell as she looked at the night outside the window.

The bitterness and sadness in my heart cannot be expressed...

……

The next morning.

Jin Man and Ye Chuhan were waiting at the door early, "Mingchuan, it's time for us to go."

Mingchuan looked back at the huge villa, and the original bustling scene gradually became quiet.

He deliberately chose the earliest time, when everyone was still asleep and no one came to see him off.

That’s just right, so that everyone won’t be sad when seeing it.

Mingchuan nodded: "Let's go."

Jin Man slowly unfolded the lotus that had initially brought him down to the mortal world, and Mingchuan's figure transformed into a wisp of breath and entered the lotus space.

The three figures transformed and disappeared from the spot.

What they didn't know was that not long after they left, three women poked their heads out of the window.

Ran Qianqian almost couldn't hold back her tears: "Mingchuan, this guy, really didn't say goodbye to us! Bad man!"
