The Seven Princesses' Journey Across Time

Among Xiao Ruojin's sons, Xiao Chong and Xiao Chuhe were directly adopted by Xiao Ruofeng, and Xiao Chong was trained as the heir.

Baili Dongjun returned to Qiandong City with Ye Dingzhi. The moment they entered the city, news spread like wildfire to the Baili family. They had long known Ye Yun was still alive, so they weren't surprised to see him returning with Baili Dongjun. After all, the two had been close friends since childhood, as close as brothers, and Baili Dongjun had always cherished his childhood friend's memory, often mentioning him.

Baili Luochen saw his grandson, who had become much more mature and steady, and the imposing Ye Dingzhi from afar, and a feeling of relief welled up in his heart.

When the two men arrived, he said with deep emotion, "Brother Yun, seeing you like this now, I can finally put my heart at ease. Thinking back to those days, your father gambled everything on your entire family, but in the end, he made a single mistake and lost everything. However, now you have surpassed your father's brilliance and have long surpassed his former glory. I'm sure your parents in the afterlife would be very pleased to know this."

Baili Chengfeng, standing nearby, nodded slightly in agreement. However, the events of that year remain a mystery. No one knows why Ye Yun vanished without a trace amidst such intense surveillance. Even more puzzling is the fact that even the Shadow Sect's highly regarded daughter vanished with him. Since then, the Shadow Sect and the imperial family have mobilized vast resources and manpower to search for him, but have yet to find a single trace.

Ye Dingzhi bowed and said, "Greetings, Grandpa Baili, Uncle Chengfeng, and Aunt Wen."

Baili Dongjun bowed and said, "Grandfather, Father, Mother."

After Baili Dongjun finished speaking, he rushed forward, hugged Baili Luochen's arm tightly, shook it and said coquettishly: "Grandpa, now that Brother Yun is here, will I, your grandson, fall out of favor? I haven't been home for a long time, don't you miss me at all?" As he spoke, he deliberately pouted his lips, showing a pitiful look.

Upon seeing this, Baili Luochen quickly reached out his other hand and gently patted the back of Baili Dongjun's hand, responding lovingly, "Silly child, what nonsense are you talking about! How could Grandpa not miss you? Day and night, I hope that our Dongjun can be safe and sound. Every day I worry about whether you will be bullied outside. If that day really comes, Grandpa will bring the Pofeng Army to seek justice for you even if it costs his life. I will never let my precious grandson suffer the slightest injustice!"

However, Baili Chengfeng, who was standing by, couldn't help but burst out laughing when he heard this, and jokingly said, "Come on, just him? He's a complete devil, and he's thankful he doesn't bully others. Who else has the guts to make him suffer?"

Upon hearing this, Baili Dongjun's eyes widened and he retorted angrily, "Hmph, Young Master, stop talking nonsense here. I think you are just jealous that grandpa dotes on me!" After saying that, he raised his chin towards Baili Chengfeng demonstratively.

Baili Chengfeng: "You..."

Baili Chengfeng was about to speak, but before he could get the words out, Wen Luoyu beside him was quick-witted and reached out to twist his waist. Baili Chengfeng gasped in pain, but because of his face, he couldn't get angry, so he could only shut his mouth in anger.

Seeing this, Wen Luoyu raised the corners of her mouth slightly, revealing an extremely gentle smile, and said softly: "Let's not stand here and talk, let's go in first." After that, she waited for Baili Dongjun and Ye Dingzhi, who were supporting Baili Luochen, to go in, then she raised her foot and walked towards the house with Baili Chengfeng.

As Wen Luoyu walked, she observed Baili Dongjun, who was walking ahead of her. Baili Dongjun seemed particularly lively, chatting and laughing with those around him. Yet, his every gesture exuded a calm and composed demeanor, completely devoid of his former youthful and immature demeanor. Wen Luoyu felt a sense of relief watching Baili Dongjun like this, and a faint smile involuntarily crossed her face.

Baili Chengfeng, who had been paying attention to Wen Luoyu, naturally saw all of this. He quietly approached Wen Luoyu and asked in a low voice: "How is it? Do you think this kid has grown a lot?" Wen Luoyu nodded slightly to show her agreement, but her eyes were still firmly fixed on Baili Dongjun, as if she could never see enough.

Soon, everyone entered the room and took their seats in order of importance. At this moment, a group of well-trained maids filed in, each holding an exquisite tray filled with a variety of delicious snacks and fragrant tea.

Baili Dongjun, seated, caught sight of the snacks. His already bright eyes instantly shone even brighter, like two glittering stars. He eagerly reached out his right hand, quickly grabbed a piece, and stuffed it into his mouth without hesitation. Eating so quickly and hastily, his cheeks were bulging with food, making him look like a cute little squirrel stealing nuts.

At this time, Baili Chengfeng, who was standing aside, could no longer suppress his curiosity and finally couldn't help but ask Ye Dingzhi: "Brother Yun, under the close surveillance of countless pairs of eager eyes, what kind of miraculous method did you use to successfully escape from Tianqi City? This is really incredible! Also, where is the eldest lady of the Shadow Sect who mysteriously disappeared with you at that time? Isn't she with you?"

After hearing Baili Chengfeng's question, everyone present turned their gazes to Ye Dingzhi, each one eager to know the answer. However, Baili Dongjun alone remained calm and composed, as Ye Dingzhi had already explained all this to him in detail. So, Baili Dongjun continued to sit there, leisurely savoring the food before him.

You know, for all these years he had been immersed in cultivation in the mountain stream, rarely having the opportunity to leave the mountain. Moreover, since they had established their foundations and could practice fasting, apart from Ye Dingzhi hunting game for him, he hadn't had a proper meal in a long time. This time, he finally came here, and he rushed all the way here, so he hadn't tasted these long-lost flavors for a long time.
