Just as the two were talking, there was a new movement from the table.

"Pa da," Li Huowang immediately raised his head and looked towards the direction of the sound.

Then he saw Gouwa, who was sneaking out while holding a food box.

"Senior Brother Li, did you bring this back for us to eat?" Gouwa asked cautiously.

Li Huowang lay back down, with a hint of bitterness on his face. "Yes, only for you guys."

If there was anything in this world that he could trust, it was probably his fellow martial brothers, even if they were not very useful.

Li Huowang sat up, propping himself up with his hands on the bed, and the despair on his face disappeared.

"Gouwa, put the food box down, and call Gao Zhijian over. We'll eat together, and then we'll leave."

"Where are we going?"

"Home!"

A few days later, Li Huowang, Gouwa, Gao Zhijian, and Bai Lingmiao were sitting in a carriage, swaying back and forth with the wheels.

Bai Lingmiao opened the curtain and warmly said to the coachman, "Thank you for letting us hitch a ride, we would have had to walk for days."

The old coachman, who had few teeth left, smiled and replied, "It's no problem, it's on the way. But girl, your home is quite remote. If you hadn't told me, I wouldn't have known there was a village at the foot of that mountain."

Upon hearing this, Gouwa became unhappy. "What do you mean remote? We paid you in advance! What, do you want to raise the price now?"

Chun Xiaoman, sitting across from Gouwa, glared at him. "Shut up! Why do you talk so much? If you don't speak, no one will treat you like a mute!"

Meanwhile, Gao Zhijian was crouched down, stuttering as he tried to mediate.

Sitting in the back, Li Huowang silently watched the lively scene. Compared to before, the atmosphere was clearly much more relaxed.

Since he had crossed over to this world, Li Huowang had rarely seen such a scene.

A pair of soft arms wrapped around Li Huowang's hand, and Bai Lingmiao couldn't help but smile as she asked, "What are you thinking about now, Senior Brother Li?"

As they were about to arrive home, Bai Lingmiao was filled with joy from head to toe.

"I'm thinking...what kind of place is Niu Xin Mountain? I don't know if we'll be able to get used to it. You know I'm not easy to get along with."

Li Huowang rolled up the bamboo curtain with his hand and looked outside at the lush greenery. The forest here was very dense.

"We'll definitely get used to it! Everyone in our village is good! Take my grandfather, for example. If someone passing by is thirsty, he'll let them drink the watermelon he grows for free. You're so good, you'll definitely get along with him."

"And my parents, if anyone in the village has any trouble, they'll help out with money and effort. And they've been living with the people in the village for so long, they haven't even blushed once!"

"Oh, and my younger brother's generation. Don't worry, they won't dare to mess with you. If they give you a hard time, just tell me and I'll make sure they regret it!"

Bai Lingmiao was eager to show off, waving her fair fists in the air.

Seeing her cute expression, Li Huowang smiled. It seemed like she had two completely different faces, one in front of him and one in front of her family.

Li Huowang hugged her shoulder and shook his head slightly. "I'm not worried. If they could teach you, they must be good people. By the way, Lingmiao, I remember you used to wear a gold bracelet. Your family must be wealthy, right?"

Bai Lingmiao smiled shyly. "It's not that wealthy, just slightly better than ordinary people."

Li Huowang chuckled. If the girl's family had money, and he was going to live with them after getting married, he would become a burden."Let it be, no matter what the place is, after wandering for so long, I can finally settle down." Li Huowang thought to himself.

Suddenly, Bai Lingmiao got excited and pointed outside the car window with her white, slender fingers. "Look! That's Niuxin Mountain!"

Li Huowang squinted his eyes and focused on the green-covered mountain in the distance. "It's really big, but how does it look like a cow's heart?"

Li Huowang was afraid that he would forget about this boring question. He began to worry about the members of the Lv family troupe.

"They left early and should have already arrived at the foot of Niuxin Mountain. I hope nothing unexpected happens."

With this worry in mind, Li Huowang slowly approached the foot of Niuxin Mountain.

But the worry didn't last long. When he saw Yang Xiaohai barefoot with a round-faced woman standing in the rice field catching loaches, all his worries disappeared.

"Senior Li is back!! Senior Li is back!"

As Yang Xiaohai shouted excitedly, other people began to emerge from the tiled village.

After not seeing each other for almost half a month, Lv Zhuangyuan was very excited to see Li Huowang again. He grabbed his hands tightly.

"Senior Li, you finally came back. We've been waiting for you anxiously."

"Is everything okay on the way here?"

"Yes, everything is fine. Everyone who left before is still here!"

Then he asked about Li Huowang's one-eyed condition and they became close to each other.

"Let's go, don't just stand here. If you have anything to say, let's go inside first." Li Huowang was about to step inside, but was stopped by Lv Zhuangyuan.

He took a sneak peek at Bai Lingmiao and showed a hint of embarrassment on his face.

"Um, Senior Li, let's not go in yet. There's something I need to talk to you about alone."

Li Huowang obviously didn't understand what he meant. "Just say it, why do we have to talk alone?"

He really couldn't guess what Lv Zhuangyuan wanted to express privately.

"Uh... Senior Li, you see... there's something that needs to be discussed privately."

Lv Zhuangyuan approached Li Huowang and winked at Bai Lingmiao.

When he saw this expression, Li Huowang's heart sank and he glanced at Bai Lingmiao beside him.

"Is it because something big happened in Lingmiao's hometown that Lv Zhuangyuan wants to talk to me alone?"

Li Huowang figured out what Lv Zhuangyuan wanted to express, but unfortunately, Bai Lingmiao also understood.

"Lv Master, what happened to my family?"

When she saw Lv Zhuangyuan avoiding her gaze guiltily, tears rolled down Bai Lingmiao's eyelashes.

"Dad! Mom!" Crying, Bai Lingmiao pushed everyone aside and rushed towards the village, with Li Huowang following closely behind.

"Dad! Mom! Grandpa!! Your daughter is back! Where are you?" Bai Lingmiao's cry with tears echoed constantly above the village.

Bai Lingmiao pushed open every door in the village to find her family, but behind every door was only disappointment.
