Chapter 162

"Has Hao'er returned?"Upon hearing the news, Wei Xinghe was delighted.

"Not just him, a few of the Young Master's fellow disciples have returned with him. Miss Yu Yan has also come back with the Young Master."

"Yu Yan is back too?" Wei Xinghe was even more surprised. "Quick, inform the lady. Where are they now?"

"They have already entered the mansion. The young master is welcoming them outside."

Wei Xinghe hurriedly moved forward.

His eldest son, whom he had sent to the Qingyun Sword Pavilion in Jizhou to study several years ago, had not returned for years.

He did not expect that he would return so suddenly this time, just in time for An'er’s apprenticeship ceremony. It was indeed a double blessing.

Upon reaching the front yard, he saw his youngest son happily circling a tall and upright young man.

There were also a few other young men and women of similar age, all with extraordinary temperaments.

That gentle-faced young man could only be his eldest son, Wei Zihao.

"Good, good, you've grown stronger."

Wei Zihao looked at his younger brother with a pleased expression.

He remembered that his younger brother used to be quite delicate and somewhat gloomy in temperament.

Now he seemed much stronger and more cheerful.

"Brother, why didn't you inform us in advance that you were coming back? The family didn't know at all!" Wei Zian asked excitedly.

"I was on a sect mission and happened to pass by our Cangzhou, so I decided to come home and have a look. By the way, little brother, I have heard some news about our family recently and wanted to ask you about it."

"Ah-hem!" As the two brothers chatted, Wei Xinghe coughed twice and walked out.

"Father!"

Wei Zihao turned and straightened his expression, bowing respectfully.

"Greetings to the head of the Wei family."

The young men and women beside him also bowed slightly.

"No need for formalities. You must be tired from your journey. Ah Hai, go prepare a feast to welcome these young heroes."

"Yes, master."

Wei Dazongguan responded and went to make preparations.

"Uncle, where is my aunt?"

At this moment, one of the young women stepped forward with a smile. Sёarch* The NôvelFire(.)net website on Google to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.

Seeing her, Wei Xinghe also smiled. "Yu Yan, you are here too. Your aunt is in the backyard. You can go find her yourself."

"Father, I will go pay my respects to Mother first," Wei Zihao said.

"Go ahead, your mother hasn't seen you for years and misses you dearly." Wei Xinghe nodded.

After Wei Zihao greeted his mother and had a family reunion, he went to his father's study.

"Father, I heard many things about our Wei family upon returning. They say that recently, the Tian Cang Sect from the northern border sent people to besiege our family, even a Precelestial Grandmaster appeared. Is this true?"

As soon as he entered the study, Wei Zihao asked directly.

"Yes, it is true," Wei Xinghe nodded.

"Then why didn't you send someone to notify me so I could come back to help?" Wei Zihao asked anxiously.

When he first heard this news, he was genuinely worried.

The Tian Cang Sect of the northern border was a powerful sect, no less powerful than their Qingyun Sword Pavilion.

They had crossed several major states to attack the Wei family. It was utterly insane.

If he had not later heard that the crisis in the mansion had been resolved, he would have rushed back overnight.

"At that time, the situation was critical. All the people in the mansion were under the enemy's control, and we couldn't send any messages out," Wei Xinghe explained.

There was another reason he did not mention.

The ancestor's life and death were uncertain back then, and there was a Precelestial expert like Wang Cangyi on the other side.

Even if Wei Zihao had returned, he would not have been able to change the situation. It was better for him to stay in the Qingyun Sword Pavilion to preserve a bloodline for the Wei family in case of extermination.

"Let's not dwell on the past. Fortunately, we had the help of noble people, and the crisis in the mansion has been resolved. The ancestor has returned safely. There couldn't be a better outcome."

Seeing his eldest son still wanting to say something, Wei Xinghe spoke first.

Wei Zihao swallowed his words and curiously asked, "Father, who helped our Wei family resolve the crisis? I heard many rumors outside, but they all seem absurd and hard to believe."

Recalling the news he had heard on the way back, Wei Zihao felt that most of it was probably exaggerated.

"The ones who helped us resolve the crisis were old doctor Chen and Lu Xiaolangjun. Even your mother and Zian were saved by them..."

Wei Xinghe briefly recounted the events, leaving Wei Zihao increasingly astonished.

"Father, you mean to say that a powerful Precelestial defeated Wang Cangyi, who had gravely injured our ancestor, and his disciple, with only the Tendons and Bones Realm, defeated a Martial Grandmaster at the peak of the Internal Organs Realm?"

"Exactly. Without the help of old doctor Chen and his disciple, our Wei family would have been flattened by the Tian Cang Sect."

"But how is this possible!" Wei Zihao exclaimed in disbelief. "How could someone in the Tendons and Bones Realm be a match for a Martial Grandmaster at the peak of the Internal Organs Realm? Are you sure you didn't see it wrong, Father?"

"Even if I saw it wrong, could all the experts in the county have seen it wrong? Moreover, the ancestor was present at the time, as were the County Magistrate and Master Zhiyue from the Tianji Tower. They all witnessed Lu Xiaolangjun defeat Wang Cangyi's senior disciple."

Recalling Lu Qing's battle with the burly man, Wei Xinghe still felt a thrill in his heart.

As a Martial Grandmaster himself, he understood how terrifying Lu Qing's displayed strength was.

Wei Zihao was speechless for a long time.

Since the ancestor was present, there was no mistake.

But this made it even more unbelievable.

He couldn't fathom how someone in the Tendons and Bones Realm could defeat a Martial Grandmaster head-on.

"Don't dwell on it. Lu Xiaolangjun is not an ordinary person. His talent is beyond imagination. Do not compare him to ordinary martial artists."

Seeing his eldest son in shock, Wei Xinghe explained to avoid dampening his martial spirit.

After a while, Wei Zihao came to his senses and smiled bitterly. "I understand that some geniuses are extraordinary. I just didn't expect that such a peerless talent could emerge from a small place like our Cang County."

He recalled his own experience of being repeatedly struck by the geniuses in the sect when he first went to the Qingyun Sword Pavilion to study.

But now, compared to Lu Xiaolangjun, the geniuses in his sect seemed insignificant.

"Lu Xiaolangjun is indeed gifted and powerful, but he is also very amiable. He is currently staying in our mansion. If you are interested, you can take your younger brother to visit him when you have time."

Wei Xinghe hoped that both of his sons could build a good relationship with Lu Qing.

"Oh, is Lu Xiaolangjun staying at our place?" Wei Zihao was intrigued.

"Yes, he and his master are staying in the Bamboo Grove Courtyard. There is also a young lady. Be careful not to offend them."

"The Precelestial master is also here?" Wei Zihao was even more excited.

"Do not disturb old doctor Chen. The ancestor often invites him to discuss Precelestial martial arts. If you anger the ancestor, I won't be able to protect you," Wei Xinghe warned directly.

Wei Zihao shivered.

He dared not offend the ancestor.
