After resolving the crisis in Baihua Valley, Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting could finally put down their burdens for a while. Standing at the entrance of the valley, they looked out at the land that had once been filled with challenges and dangers, their hearts filled with emotion.

"I'm done with my work!" Shen Qingtang turned around and gave Li Hanting a relieved smile, "We can go back now."

Li Hanting looked at Shen Qingtang, his eyes full of tenderness and understanding. He knew that Shen Qingtang had been under too much pressure during this period of time, and she needed a chance to rest, a place where she could temporarily forget the disputes in the martial arts world.

"Okay, let's go back." Li Hanting's voice was firm and warm. He reached out and gently held Shen Qingtang's hand.

The two walked out of Baihua Valley side by side and started their journey home.

Instead of taking the quickest route, they decided to take a detour and enjoy this rare moment of peace and quiet.

On the way home, Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting talked about their future plans and shared their pasts. The relationship between them became deeper through the ups and downs they had experienced together.

"Qingtang, have you ever thought that one day we can let go of all this and live the life of an ordinary person?" Li Hanting suddenly asked, with a hint of longing in his voice.

Shen Qingtang smiled slightly. She knew that Li Hanting also yearned for a peaceful life in his heart.

"Maybe one day we can find that kind of life, but not now. Right now, we have responsibilities to shoulder."

Li Hanting nodded. He understood Shen Qingtang's meaning. They were both leaders of their respective sects, shouldering the responsibility of protecting their sects and their disciples. But at the same time, he also knew that no matter what the future held, they would face it together.

When the two returned to their own home, the servants were so excited that their eyes were filled with tears.

Especially Aunt Xue, she was crying and snotting.

"Sir, Madam, you might be back. I was so scared. I haven't heard from you two for a while. I really don't know what to do."

"Sir, Madam, you may be back!" Aunt Xue's voice trembled slightly, and tears flashed in her eyes.

Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting exchanged a glance. They could both sense Aunt Xue's joy. Shen Qingtang stood up, walked to Aunt Xue's side, and asked softly, "Aunt Xue, what happened?"

Aunt Xue took a deep breath and tried to calm herself. "Yes, yes, I'm very excited. The thing is, the Li family has heard that your return has made the whole family excited. Everyone is looking forward to your return."

Li Hanting smiled slightly. He could imagine how much his family members were looking forward to their return.

"Then let's go back as soon as possible, Aunt Xue. We miss home too."

Aunt Xue nodded, her eyes filled with reluctance: "Okay, I'll go get a car ready for you to go to the Li family's old house."

Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting packed their belongings and bid farewell to the tranquility of Moxianglou. They knew that the Li family's waiting and expectations were responsibilities and emotions that they could not ignore.

The car slowly drove out of Moxianglou. Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting sat in the car, their hearts filled with longing for home.

They knew that every corner of the Li family was filled with memories, where their loved ones, their responsibilities, and their future were.

"Qingtang, no matter where we go, home will always be our warmest harbor." Li Hanting held Shen Qingtang's hand and said softly.

Shen Qingtang nodded, a determined light flashing in her eyes: "Yes, Han Ting. No matter what the future holds, we must face it together."

As the car drove away in the afterglow of the setting sun, Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting's hearts were filled with anticipation for the future and the warmth of home. They knew that no matter how the world changed, as long as they were together, there was nothing they couldn't overcome.

As the carriage slowly pulled into the courtyard of the Li family mansion, Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting's heartbeats quickened. They knew they were about to face not only the family's expectations, but also the long-lost family affection and responsibilities.

"Finally back." Shen Qingtang said softly, with complex emotions flashing in her eyes.

Li Hanting held her hand tightly, giving her strength: "Yes, Qingtang, no matter what the outside world is like, this will always be our home."

The carriage stopped, the door opened, and Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting got out. They immediately saw the Li family standing at the door, each of them with a smile on their face.

"Welcome home, young master, young lady!" The servants in the house shouted in unison, their voices full of joy and welcome.

Especially the housekeeper Wu Ma, with tears in her eyes, she quickly walked forward and hugged Shen Qingtang tightly: "Madam, the return of you and the young master is the greatest joy for our Li family."

Shen Qingtang hugged Aunt Xue tightly back, a warm feeling welling up in his heart: "Aunt Xue, we miss home too."

Li Hanting watched this scene with a smile. He nodded to the family members around him, then turned to Shen Qingtang: "Qingtang, let's go in."

They walked into the Li family mansion together, every step they took was on familiar ground, and every step seemed to bring back past memories.

In the main hall of the Li family, the elders of the family had been waiting for a long time. They warmly welcomed the return of Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting and expressed their pride in their achievements in the martial arts world.

"You have done a great job. Not only have you protected Baihua Valley, but you have also maintained the honor of the Li family." An elder said, his voice full of praise.

Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting responded modestly. They knew that all these achievements were inseparable from the support of their family and their own efforts.

As night fell, the lights in the Li family mansion were brightly lit, and the family dinner began. Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting sat in the main seats, having dinner with their family, enjoying the long-lost warmth and happiness.

"Qingtang, Hanting, our Li family is blessed to have you."

An elder raised his glass and said, and other family members also raised their glasses to express their blessings to them.

With the family dinner over, Shen Qingtang and Li Hanting finally had a chance to rest in the tranquility of the Li family mansion. They strolled through the garden, enjoying the cool evening breeze and each other's company.

"Qingtang, have you ever thought that maybe we could build a little world of our own here?" Li Hanting suddenly suggested, with a hint of longing in his voice.

Shen Qingtang stopped and looked up at the starry sky, her eyes gleaming with dreams. "Of course I've thought about it, Han Ting. This is where we share our memories. It would be wonderful to have a home here."
