After being reborn, I took my childhood sweetheart to cultivate immortality.

"Who are you? I am a direct disciple of the Qingyun Peak of the Nine Yang Sect. You'd better think carefully before you make a move."

Xu Qinghe had just uttered these words when Liu Dongfang and another Nascent Soul cultivator appeared before him.

"Liu Dongfang, are you out of your mind? Such a small matter, and you actually brought people to block me? Don't you even care about the sect rules?"

"Hmph, Xu Qinghe, no matter how loud you shout, it's useless. So what if the sect rules are strict? Once you're gone, who will know that I did this?"

Seeing his expression, Xu Qinghe knew that saying anything more would be useless.

I never imagined that he would hold a grudge against me for not giving me an unknown stone. He couldn't do anything to me in the sect, so he deliberately brought people here to attack me when I left the sect.

What to do? Fighting is definitely out of the question. There's no way he can beat the Nascent Soul cultivator behind Shan Liu Dongfang, and he can't escape either.

Was he really going to die here today? Xu Qinghe was extremely unwilling.

Before he could figure out how to escape this calamity, Liu Dongfang and his companion had already made their move, leaving Xu Qinghe no choice but to raise his sword and meet them head-on.

Unfortunately, although he has met good teachers and learned the techniques well in the past few years, he is still far behind Nascent Soul cultivators.

After only a few rounds, Xu Qinghe was already seriously injured and defeated.

Just then, the Xu family was passing through the woods when Xu Meifen suddenly felt her heart pounding, as if something was about to happen. Just as she was wondering what was going on, she saw a scene that made their eyes widen in horror.

They saw Xu Qinghe being chased and beaten by two people, one of whom was only at the early stage of the Nascent Soul realm, and he was no match for them at all.

It was clear that he had suffered severe injuries; his clothes were stained with blood, and his right hand was broken, making it impossible for him to even hold a sword.

Seeing that the two men's swords were about to stab Xu Qinghe again, the whole family cried out in alarm.

"Ah! Son!"

"Dog Egg"

Xu Qingman's anger was instantly ignited; her younger brother had been injured like this.

She teleported over in an instant, brushed aside the two people, and directly killed the Nascent Soul cultivator with her sword. She even crushed the Nascent Soul that he had just escaped.

After Liu Dongfang was knocked to the ground by her, he knew he was probably in for a rough time. Seeing her kill the Nascent Soul cultivator who was protecting him without a word, he trembled with fear.

"You, you stay away! I am the young master of the Liu family. If you kill me, you'll get yourself into trouble. Do you know who my grandfather is?"

Xu Qingman was too lazy to listen to his nonsense and destroyed his dantian with a single palm strike. Seeing that her younger brother was much better after being fed medicine by her husband, she calmed down and asked him what had happened.

"Father, Mother, Grandfather..." Xu Qinghe called out to his family members with tears in his eyes. He had thought he would never see his family again, but unexpectedly, God took pity on him and he was rescued by his family when he was in danger.

After Xu Qinghe explained the grievances between the two, the family was even more furious. To take someone's life over such a trivial matter—this kind of person could not be allowed to live.

Otherwise, once he finds an opportunity, he definitely won't let my whole family off the hook. Besides, the Liu family patriarch has the cultivation of a Nascent Soul cultivator; we can't leave such a huge hidden danger behind.

After thinking it through, Xu Qingman no longer held back and burned Liu Dongfang to the ground. Even the magical treasures on his body were destroyed by the Xu family, as keeping them would only cause trouble.

Xu Qinghe had recovered by now. The family was worried that something might have happened to Liu Dongfang and that the Liu family would come looking for him, so they cleaned up any possible traces and left the place of trouble immediately.

As for the suspicion that the Liu family had placed on Xu Qinghe, Xu Qinghe said there was no need to worry at all, because Liu Dongfang always pretended very well and would never reveal that they had a feud in the market.

"Son, does it still hurt? Let your mother see how badly you are hurt."

As soon as she got home, Xu Meifen hugged Xu Qinghe and cried her heart out. After he comforted her, she was still worried and wanted to check his injuries.

It is truly a case of the child being injured, but the mother feeling the pain in her heart.

"Mom, I'm fine. My brother-in-law has already given me my medicine, so don't worry."

Xu Jingheng looked at his son's clothes stained with blood, his eyes reddening with heartache. He secretly vowed to cultivate even harder so that his child would not be bullied by others.

The elderly couple, Xu Maoye and his wife, wiped away their tears while trying to comfort their daughter-in-law.

After Xu Qinghe joined the Nine Yang Sect, the old lady and Xu Meifen's mother-in-law relationship disappeared, and their relationship became as good as that of an ordinary mother and daughter.

"Alright, Qinghe, go take a shower and change your clothes."

After washing up with Xu Qinghe, Yu Jinchen said to Xu Meifen, "Mother, Qinghe hasn't been back for so long. Today is a family reunion, so let's cook him a nice meal."

Upon hearing her son-in-law's words, Xu Meifen immediately stood up and said, "Okay, okay, I'll go buy some good groceries."

Xu Qingman stopped her, "Mother, there's no need to go shopping. We brought back a lot of good things this time, including purple spirit rice, a lot of spirit beast meat, and silver fish that we caught from the Qingxuan Sect."

"Mother, did you bring back the silver fish? My brother and I love them. Grandma, let me tell you, we're at the Qingxuan Sect..."

The lunch was exceptionally lavish, with a table full of delicacies from various regions, all of which Xu Qingman and her family of four had brought back from different cities.

Xu Qing was extremely satisfied with the meal; he hadn't had a proper meal in all these years at the sect.

Once cultivators have established their foundation, they can abstain from grains, so the sects never prepare food for them. Sometimes, when they feel hungry, they pick some wild fruits from the sect's mountains to eat.

Once, he was so hungry that he caught a few fish to grill, but because his cooking skills were so bad, he grilled them to a crisp. He really missed the food at home.

After the meal, Xu Qinghe slumped in a recliner, rubbing his stomach, "Oh, I'm so full."

Xu Jingheng scolded, "You child, if you feel uncomfortable from being so full, just use your internal energy to digest it."

"No, I've been starving for five years. It's so hard to eat this much. I have to endure it."

"Haha...hahaha..."

Seeing his funny antics, his family couldn't help but burst into laughter. Apart from his slender figure, he looked exactly the same as when he was a child, not at all like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old boy.

Xu Qingman asked, "Qinghe, we all forgot to ask you, how have you been doing in the sect these past few years? Have you taken on a master yet?"

"Sister, don't you see how outstanding your brother is? He's bound to find a master. And my master isn't just anyone; he's the peak master of Qingyun Peak, Master Qingyun."

"Wow, my Gou Dan has really made something of himself! He's actually become a disciple of a Nascent Soul cultivator. Come on, I'm going to give you a good reward."

Looking at the sword in his hand, Xu Qing was so excited that he didn't even mind that his sister called him "Dog Egg" again.

"Sister, is this a magical artifact?"

"Hmm, and it's even a Xuan-rank weapon. You're a Golden Core cultivator now, so you should get a better weapon."

"That's great, thank you sister, thank you brother-in-law. I was worried that I wouldn't have any good weapons for my long trip next month, but I didn't expect to find them here."
