"Second place, Imperial Sister, not bad." Qian Qing's face still held a gentle and refined smile.

Qianxue nodded, lifted her foot and walked towards the resting area. As she passed Bei Yan, she let out a soft hum.

Beiyan "..."

After Qianxue and her group, the rest of the group arrived one after another. Those who made it to the finals cheered with joy, while those who were eliminated wailed in despair.

Half a year is almost up.

"Kids, when are you three planning to go home?"

The antique was practicing Tai Chi in the courtyard, its movements flowing smoothly.

The three Bei Yan children imitated him earnestly, asking, "What, is Master going to send us back?"

Have you changed your mind? Weren't you too lazy to even take them to tests?

"You wish! I will have my little fairy take you back."

Xiao Xian is the white crane that first brought them to Qingze, and it's the antique's natal beast.

“Master, the three of us have already discussed it and will go back tomorrow,” Shangguan Shu answered first.

The thought of going home to enjoy delicious food and be pampered made Shangguan Shu unable to stop smiling.

Good heavens, who knows what he's been through in the last six months? A young master who should have been living a life of luxury has been turned into a wild man, where he has to rely on luck for food and drink, living a miserable and wretched life!

"Alright, I will take you down the mountain tomorrow morning. Three days later, I will be waiting for you in the sky above your home. There is one thing you must remember."

The antique's tone suddenly became serious, and the three of them straightened their expressions, ready to listen attentively.

"Remember to bring back some local specialties for your teacher!"

The three of them were speechless. I was stunned.

The next morning.

The three people, each carrying a small package, stood in the yard waiting for the cranes.

"Master, why do we have to carry a bundle? We clearly have storage rings." Shangguan Mu tugged at the small bundle on his shoulder, finding it extremely cumbersome.

"You don't know anything. How will people know that your teacher asked you to bring gifts home if you don't carry a package?"

Beiyan "???"

Holy crap, she thought the old man was being all mysterious this morning, giving each of them a package containing some priceless treasure, which is why they couldn't put it in their storage rings? So that's the reason?

A loud crane cry came from afar.

"Oh dear, my darling fairy is back from her bath! Kids, let's go!"

The three sat steadily on the crane's back, and Gu Dong raised his hand to cast a protective barrier.

"Master, please take good care of yourself at home," Bei Yan said worriedly. The old man was incredibly lazy, and she didn't know how he would survive the next three days without the three of them cooking for him.

"Don't worry, I'll go to my second junior brother's place for a free meal later." Gu Dong grinned.

Bei Yan: "..." You're overthinking it.

Waving goodbye, the crane spread its wings and flew into the sky, heading towards the capital.

Go to Beijing.

The Duke of Jin's Mansion.

Today is the day the whole family's beloved child returns. The entire Bei family stood at the door early in the morning, eagerly awaiting his return.

Among them, Bei Yifeng was the most quirky, holding a large bouquet of flowers that covered half of his face.

A big smile graced his handsome face, and he kept muttering, "My little sister is coming back! My little sister is coming back!"

He looked like a silly fool, completely unserious. It was rare for Bei Xiao not to scold him. His usually tense face was now tinged with a hint of joy.

Needless to say, Bei Hong was dressed in a custom-made outfit, his eyebrows and eyes were full of smiles, and he looked radiant and full of energy.

A carriage slowly came to a stop at the Duke of Jin's residence. Bei Xiao frowned, about to say that he was not receiving visitors today, when he saw the carriage curtain being lifted.

"Yan'er!"
