Bring a scumbag girl to bully me, and you are afraid of using modern weapons.

"Yes." Zhu Yichen had no choice but to stand up, clasped his hands together and bowed deeply, saying solemnly: "Disciple will do his best to live up to the careful cultivation and expectations of the Sect Master and Master, and lead the sect towards an even more glorious future."

"Kid, don't be so nervous. Sit down and talk!" Xie Wanying pulled Zhu Yichen down to sit down.

"Master, I have captured Fu Mushan. Do you want to see him?" Xie Jinglan asked.

"No need. There's nothing good about a beast. When we get to the Fu family in Nanzhou, we can just exchange people with them." Zhongli Xiao said.

If he hadn't been afraid that the Fu family would vent their anger on the Yuyong Kingdom and the Xuanji Sect, Fu Mushan would have died in the battle at Yushi Pass.

"I'm just a little confused. With the strength of the people in this middle world, people with low strength can at least live for eight hundred thousand years, and they won't get sick easily. Madam Xie's blood doesn't have much effect on them. Why did Fu Mushan bring her here?" Zhu Yichen was very puzzled about this.

"Yes!" Xie Wanying was also confused about this.

"People here don't need it, but they can sell the refined pills to Guangyuan Continent and make a profit!" said Xie Jinglan.

"Lan'er is right!" Zong Zhengyi agreed with her. "Beitang Hong and Wei Rufeng are still ruthless and want to use the power of the Fu family to dominate the Guangyuan Continent."

Zhongli Xiao pondered for a moment and said, "Tomorrow we will return to the Zhongli family first. After removing the seal from my body, we will go find the Fu family. I believe they will not offend the Zhongli family and the Taixu Sect for the sake of Beitang Hong and Wei Rufeng."

"Okay, let's make it a deal." Zong Zhengyi also agreed. "Fu Mushan is still in our hands. I don't believe that the Fu family doesn't want their son."

After hearing his words, everyone felt that there was hope of rescuing Mei Yingying.

After they discussed the next plan, Xie Jinglan and Zhong Lixiao left the space, said goodbye to the Great Elder, and then left Taixu Sect and headed for the Zhong family in Dongzhou.

As for Master Zou Ting, she had already left him a message using the voice stone.

The Zhongli family ranks third in Dongzhou. In addition, they have been friends with the Nangong family for generations, making them also a top-tier aristocratic family with a prominent status.

Zhongli Xiao looked at the magnificent mansion in front of him. It had not changed much from when he left decades ago, but his mood was different.

There were two servants guarding the gate. Seeing them standing there watching, they looked at each other.

They had heard that the old man was coming back, could it be him?

One of them came down the stairs, clasped his hands together and bowed, "Excuse me, are you..."

"Brother, you are finally back!" Zhong Liyao's excited voice rang out.

Zhongli Xiao and Xie Jinglan looked up and saw Zhongli Yao walking out of the mansion over the threshold of the gate, followed by several middle-aged and elderly people.

"Second brother." Zhong Lixiao looked at his half-brother and called out coldly.

He brought several prestigious elders from the family to greet him. If you didn't know, you would think they valued him very much.

Zhong Liyao didn't seem to notice his indifference and continued with a smile, "Brother, there are still five years until your fifty-year punishment expires. It was because I interceded with the elders on your behalf that they allowed you to return early."

"Really?" Zhongli Xiao glanced at the elders with an indifferent expression.

"That's right," a bearded man said. "Given that you've performed quite well in Guangyuan Continent over the years, after careful deliberation by our elders, we can consider reducing your five-year punishment and allowing you to return sooner."

Zhongli Xiao's hands suddenly clenched under his long sleeves. "In that case, please remove the seal on me."

Seeing that he looked unhappy, a tall and thin elder of the clan was immediately displeased, "Zhongli Xiao, now that you are back, then do your duty well and don't act capriciously and recklessly like before!

As long as you sincerely bring benefits and glory to the family, the elders will not treat you unfairly."

"Of course." Zhong Liyao quickly spoke up for Zhong Lixiao. "Big brother was also full of hot-bloodedness back then... Everyone makes mistakes when they're young. Now that so many years have passed, big brother knows he was wrong. He definitely won't do it again, don't you think? Big brother."

Xie Jinglan looked at Zhongli Yao and felt that he had a bit of a green tea taste.

Zhongli Xiao didn't continue to follow Zhongli Yao's words. "I came back only to break the seal in my body. Once it's broken, we'll leave. As for what happens to the Zhongli family? It has nothing to do with me."

"You..." The bearded man was furious. "It seems you haven't realized your mistake yet."

Xie Jinglan looked at the disdain in the eyes of these old men. It was obvious that they disliked Master from the bottom of their hearts. "Master, it seems that they don't welcome you back!"

"No, no, the elders definitely don't think that way. Miss Xie, please don't misunderstand." Zhong Lixiao hurriedly tried to smooth things over. "Brother, you just came back from Guangyuan Continent. You've worked hard! Let's go into the mansion first and talk later!"

Zhongli Xiao hesitated for a moment, but decided to go into the mansion first.

Xie Jinglan looked at the Zhongli family. She had no idea what had happened back then. They had driven their master out of the house, sealed his power, and banished him to the Guangyuan Continent, a place with thin spiritual energy. It was obvious they were going to destroy him.

But she believed in her master's character and what he said to these people. Her master must have been wrongly accused and had no way to defend himself, so he was banished to Guangyuan Continent.

The group arrived at the front hall in the front yard. Zhong Liyao naturally walked to the main seat and was about to sit down, but just as he was halfway down, he stood up again and said to Zhong Lixiao humbly, "Brother, you take the seat."

"No need. I didn't come back to sit in your seat." Zhong Lixiao and Xie Jinglan stood in the middle of the hall, looked at the old men and said, "Remove the seal for me!"

"Brother, you just came back, there's no need to be so anxious." Zhong Liyao advised: "You just came back from Guangyuan Continent, you must be tired, why don't you go down and rest first?"

"If there is no rush, why would I come back?" Zhong Lixiao said expressionlessly.

"Zhongli Xiao, what's with your attitude? You still don't repent even now?" The tall and thin elder was so angry that he swung the crutch in his hand and was about to hit him.

"Stop!" Xie Jinglan grabbed the crutch with one hand and said coldly, "Master, since they don't welcome us back, then we'll leave."

"Okay, let's go!" Zhong Lixiao turned and left.

"You dare! Zhongli Xiao, if you dare to walk out of the Zhongli family's gate today, you will no longer be a member of the Zhongli family." The bearded man roared angrily.

"I am no longer a member of the Zhongli family?" Zhongli Xiao sneered, "Have you forgotten that when you banished me to Guangyuan Continent, you removed my name from the family tree?"

"You... you evil creature, you really refuse to repent!" The tall, thin old man was shaking with anger, pointing his finger at him, "If you leave, there's no way we can remove the seal in your body for you."

"It's just a seal, you are not the only ones who can unlock it." After saying this, Zhong Lixiao took Xie Jinglan away.

"Brother, wait a minute." Zhong Liyao quickly stopped the two of them. "Brother, you know the elders are just like that. Just go along with them. We're all family. If you have anything to say, just talk it out. There's no need to make things so awkward."
