After a long while, Yang Xie walked forward, and just at this time, an old man dressed in official robes hurried out from the residence.
Seeing him, Yang Xie smiled and called out: "Chen Bo."
He looked up and saw a graceful young man standing not far away. He thought that the young man was a scholar who had come to pay a visit to his master, but after seeing that the young man was carrying a sword on his back and dressed like a martial artist, he became suspicious. He did not know if the young man was a scholar or a warrior, but seeing that the young man's face was kind and not a bad person, he relaxed and asked: "May I know what may I do?"
"Does Chen Bo know who I am?" Seeing that the other party did not recognize him, Yang Xie did not mind and asked with a smile. After all, he hadn't seen his appearance in ten years, so it was normal that he couldn't recognize it.
"You are?" A trace of suspicion surfaced on Chen Bo's face. After carefully sizing up Yang Xie a few times, his eyes suddenly revealed disbelief.
"Second Young Master?! It's you? It's really you? You, you're back? " Chen Bo's face revealed surprise, he went forward to grab Yang Xie and said with a trembling voice.
"Un, it is indeed me. Chen Bo, I have returned." Yang Xie looked at Chen Bo's excited expression and nodded with emotion.
"Good!" Good! "It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Wait for me to notify Madam." The Chen Bo was so excited that he spoke incoherently, kept nodding his head, and then let go of Yang Xie.
Seeing the Chen Bo's appearance, Yang Xie's heart warmed. He took a deep look at the door in front of him and strode inside.
As soon as he entered the house, he saw the familiar scenery he had seen in the past. Low fake mountains, exquisite pavilions, and clear streams. Every time he saw one, Yang Xie would think back to the scene when he was playing inside.
Everything that had happened in the past seemed to have happened exactly yesterday.
Just as Yang Xie was immersed in his childhood memories, the sound of messy yet hurried footsteps came from afar.
Not long after, a group of people surrounded a dignified middle-aged woman who walked over quickly. The woman looked elegant, even though she was in her middle age, she was extremely well-maintained and looked like she was only in her thirties. However, there seemed to be a trace of unrelenting worry between her eyebrows, causing her to look somewhat haggard.
But when the woman saw Yang Xie, the worry on her face instantly turned into pleasant surprise, and she shouted out loud, "Child!", ignoring the support of the people around, she ran towards Yang Xie.
Just as she moved, a gust of wind appeared out of nowhere and gently stopped her, then with a movement of Yang Xie's, she appeared in front of the woman.
Looking at the woman in front of him, Yang Xie felt extremely guilty. Suddenly, he knelt on the ground and kowtowed three times to the woman, then raised his head and said: "Your son is unfilial and made your mother wait."
Just then, the force that was restraining the woman had disappeared, the woman had just recovered her ability to move, she immediately pulled Yang Xie who was kneeling on the ground, while wiping her tears, she choked with sobs: "Quickly get up, quickly get up, it's good that you're back, it's good that you're back."
As he spoke, his hands couldn't help but touch Yang Xie's face, as if he wanted to clearly see every single change on Yang Xie's face.
Just then, the Chen Bo interjected: "Madam, Second Young Master has returned from a long journey and is probably hungry. Why don't you ask the kitchen to prepare some food?"
"Yes, yes. Chen Bo you go down and instruct Xiao Xie to follow mother into the house first. " Once Chen Bo reminded her, the woman immediately came to her senses, and after giving her orders, she pulled Yang Xie into the living room.
Yang Xie smiled and nodded, he allowed his mother to lead him into the living room. With his current cultivation, he would not feel hungry even if he did not eat for a few days, but he could not reject his mother's good intentions.
Sitting in the living room, Mother Yang kept asking Yang Xie how his days in Cloud Sky Sect were, and whether he was cultivating hard.
Hearing that, Yang Xie started to talk about some interesting things within the sect, and during the process, he naturally concealed the bitterness he had as a service disciple.
Even so, when she heard that the sect's food still needed to be prepared, her mother cried out in heartache.
"It's all my fault, Mother. If I hadn't sent you to the Cloud Sky Sect back then, why would I have suffered so much? Xiao Xie, why don't you stop cultivating from now on? With father and mother around, you will be able to live without worry for food and clothing. " Mother Yang tried to persuade him.
"The path of cultivation is always clear and bitter. Since I have stepped onto the path of cultivation, how can I return? Moreover, I have already made up my mind to focus on the martial way, and there is no way I can change that." Yang Xie shook his head, and said resolutely.
"Alright, since you've already made up your mind, then I won't try to persuade you anymore. However, remember not to fiercely fight with others." Seeing how determined Yang Xie's words were, Mother Yang did not try to dissuade him anymore and turned to warn him.
Hearing that, Yang Xie laughed bitterly in his heart, although those words could be used in the ordinary world, it was definitely not suitable for people who cultivate.
Breaking through all the obstacles on the path of martial arts would require all kinds of resources, and if one wanted to obtain these things then they would have to fight with others for it. The bloody battles in the process were not something that the practitioners of martial arts could imagine, if they did not fight for it, then even if they cultivated for the rest of their lives, they would only be a piece of trash.
Of course, Yang Xie would not say these words in front of his mother.
Soon after, the mother and son duo chatted for a while before a servant girl brought them their food.
At the dining table, Mother Yang was cooking for Yang Xie incessantly, causing Yang Xie's heart to feel very warm.
Halfway through the meal, a crisp female voice was heard from outside.
"Eh? Why is dinner starting so early today? "
As she spoke, a young girl around the age of fifteen or sixteen walked in, but seeing that the young girl's skin was creamy, her collar was fine, and her appearance very beautiful, her eyebrows were very similar to Mistress Yang's, just that compared to her gentle and demure mother, the young woman seemed to be very heroic. From the sword at her waist, it was not hard to see that she was someone who would cause trouble.
When she saw that other than her mother, there was a young man sitting there that she did not know, she could not help but be startled, and when she saw that he was kind and affectionate towards that man, even towards her in the past, she could not help but feel suspicious. One must know that her mother had been living in seclusion all these years, so she rarely saw any strangers, and this man was so unfamiliar that even she did not have a trace of an impression of him.
"Could it be that thief?" Suddenly, the young girl remembered the son of the general that the family had mentioned to her a few days ago. Her eyebrows immediately raised in anger.
Although she had never seen the son of the gatekeeper before, it was rumored that he had relied on her taking an 'immortal' as his master. Normally, he was extremely tyrannical, and he was also extremely lustful.
Therefore, she had mistakenly thought that Yang Xie was the thief that used his sweet words to deceive her mother, causing her mother to treat him this way.
The more the girl thought, the angrier she became. Ignoring the fact that her mother was present, she unsheathed the sword at her waist and slashed at Yang Xie.
"Die you evil scum!"
If it was an ordinary person, they would definitely be struck by this strike. However, to Yang Xie, this kind of attack was not even worth mentioning, and there was no need for him to use any spiritual energy at all. With a wave of his fingers, he caught the descending longsword.
When the young girl saw that his opponent had used his fingers to catch her sword, she was startled and wanted to pull out her sword. However, her opponent's two fingers were like steel pincers firmly clamping onto her sword. No matter how hard she tried, she couldn't pull it out.
"Let go!" The young girl could not draw, so she could not help but say in exasperation.
"What is it? Even your second brother wants to die? " Yang Xie looked at the girl who was so angry that her face was flushed, and said with a smile that was not a smile. From the moment the other party entered the room, he recognized that this woman was his sister, Yang Wanqing. Although he did not know why the other party would make such a move against him, he reckoned that there must be some kind of misunderstanding.
"Qing Er, what are you doing?" Quickly put the sword down! " Although she could tell that her daughter was not a match for Yang Xie, she was afraid that she would be hurt by accident. These two were her own flesh and blood, so even if she were to hurt any one of them, it would make her heart ache.
"Second brother?" Hearing Yang Xie's words, Yang Wanqing's originally flustered and exasperated mood instantly froze, he looked at Yang Xie with wide eyes, and suddenly revealed a pleasantly surprised expression.
"Is second brother really you? "You're back?"
Finished, she immediately released her sword and pounced towards Yang Xie.
Seeing that, Yang Xie smiled, with a move of his two fingers, the sword at his fingertips flew out with a swoosh, cutting into the ground, preventing the sword from hitting Yang Wanqing.
Embracing her lightly, a trace of deep emotion surfaced on Yang Xie's face. He thought that she was just a follower who only knew how to follow behind his butt at the time, he never thought that she would actually be this beautiful today.
After a while, Yang Xie lightly patted her back, and said: "Alright, hurry up and get up. You are now a young lady of a noble family, it would not be proper for anyone to see you like this."
