Chapter 387 Gift Distribution Completed

After giving the gifts to Zhong Yun's family, Wu Dongxiao looked at Zhong Lan'er and said something similar to what he had told Zhong Yun, and also handed her a mustard seed bag.

"Please don't let Uncle Zhong down, Miss Zhong Linglan."

·

This generation of the Zhong family belongs to the "Ling" generation.

According to the Zhong family's rules, all family members who are at home have three-character names.

Collateral males are referred to by any three characters, while direct males are referred to by their generational names.

However, the names of male descendants are initially only two characters long. If they marry, a generational character will be added to their names after they reach the Pigong realm. If they marry later, no generational character will be added to their names, and they will always have only two characters.

Women in the clan, regardless of whether they are from the direct line or collateral line, are given the character "儿" (er) at the end of their names after birth.

Women from collateral branches of the family never change their names, whether they marry out or are adopted into another family.

If a daughter of the direct line marries, her name will remain unchanged; but if she marries into the family, as long as she successfully enters the palace, the last character of her name will be removed, and a generational character will be added in the middle.

·

Therefore, Wu Dongxiao calls Zhong Yun "Zhong Lingyun", and naturally, he should call Zhong Lan'er "Zhong Linglan".

So many years have passed, and these two young people have long since successfully entered the palace.

Despite their poor aptitude, barring any unforeseen circumstances, they may even reach the Enlightenment Realm in a short time.

·

Zhong Lan'er also took the mustard seed bag with both hands and quickly checked the resources inside.

At this moment, Zhong Lan'er also showed a look of surprise and emotion—she had no idea what resources were in the mustard seed bag, she had only guessed some from the expressions of her brother Zhong Yun's family, and now that she saw it with her own eyes, she understood why they reacted that way.

When it came to Zhong Lan'er, she felt a warm current flowing into her heart.

She was so much like her brother, just like Zhong Yun's shame and self-reflection at that time. When she thought of Zhong Cai, she couldn't help but feel that if she had been closer to her sixth brother when she was a child, if she had been more protective of her sixth brother at that time.

Wu Dongxiao glanced at Zhong Lan'er's expression and was quite satisfied.

Just like before, he had also glanced at Zhong Yun's family and secretly noted their reactions.

Uncle Zhong's good intentions are appreciated... That's good.

Wu Dongxiao remained calm and then called out the name of another person.

"Young Master Zhuo Hui, this is a gift from Uncle Zhong to congratulate you on your marriage to Miss Zhong Linglan..."

The tall, thin man who had been standing next to Zhong Lan'er stepped forward, his attitude very respectful.

He knew it was his turn, but when he was actually called upon, he couldn't help but feel joy.

Zhuo Hui said solemnly, "Thank you, Sixth Brother."

After examining it, he was also shocked by the "two thousand Xuanzhu" among them, but he had heard Wu Dongxiao's explanation to Li Pan'er before, so he knew that it was because one thousand of the Xuanzhu were "bride's subsidies".

Zhuo Hui felt the respect that his sixth brother and his wife showed him from all the resources they provided, which warmed his heart. He couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder so many of my relatives and friends are like this."

Next are their two children—they have no shortage of resources, enough to ensure they have no worries about their expenses for decades.

Although the two younger children were still kids, they knew about prices and immediately felt immense respect for their two elders from afar.

·

After Zhong Lan'er's family left, Wu Dongxiao faced the youngest child of Zhong Guanlin and Luo Fengxian.

He was also Zhong Cai's youngest brother, whom she had never met before.

Zhong Mao, only ten years old, was given special attention by the couple and already showed a remarkable demeanor at such a young age.

When Wu Dongxiao saw Zhong Mao, his expression unconsciously softened.

There's no other reason than that Zhong Mao and Zhong Cai look six or seven parts alike, and you can tell they're brothers at a glance—Zhong Yun and Zhong Lan'er look more like Luo Fengxian, and only two or three parts like Zhong Cai.

However, Zhong Mao's features are relatively more defined, while Zhong Cai is more handsome, and Zhong Mao appears more resolute.

Yes, even though he hasn't fully grown yet, you can already see his "resolute" nature.

He's also very tall; he's almost as tall as Zhong Cai now!

·

Zhong Mao bowed respectfully: "Senior Wu."

Wu Dongxiao nodded reservedly, took out another mustard seed bag, handed it to Zhong Mao, and said gently, "Uncle Zhong is very happy to know that you have a younger brother. Congratulations on your birth."

Zhong Mao accepted the gift with both hands and thanked him earnestly: "Please trouble Senior Wu to thank my brother for me."

Wu Dongxiao couldn't help but smile.

This serious little face is quite old-fashioned. Although he looks a lot like Uncle Zhong, their personalities are completely different!

Uncle Zhong was only serious when he was scolding him; otherwise, he was lively and approachable, not like an elder, but more like... cough.

Wu Dongxiao quickly stopped thinking, fearing that if he overthought things, Uncle Zhong would sneeze again and hold him accountable.

Zhong Mao bowed again and stepped back behind his parents.

If you look closely, you can actually see that his eyes are very bright.

Since birth, he had always heard his parents talk about his very powerful sixth brother, and his two older siblings would often tell him about his sixth brother's experiences.

Although what he heard was only a rough outline, and not even entirely true, Zhong Mao still longed for... and admired Sixth Brother.

If Zhong Mao hadn't secretly tried and confirmed that he had no talent for alchemy, he would have wanted to become an alchemist like his sixth brother!

He was truly disappointed.

Of course, Zhong Ang could also see the respect and remorse his two older siblings felt whenever they mentioned their sixth brother, but they had actually met him, while he had not. Now, all he could think about was that if one day he could see his sixth brother again, that would be wonderful.

He also wanted to meet the young master whom his sixth brother had rushed to without hesitation and who had been inseparable from him ever since.

What kind of charm would that young master possess?

Countless cultivators in Kunyun City praised them highly, saying that when they stood together with Sixth Brother, they must be a perfect couple, unparalleled in heaven and earth...

·

Finally, Wu Dongxiao handed the two mustard seed rings to Zhong Guanlin and Luo Fengxian respectively.

The couple still use mustard seed bags, and they are very happy to receive the mustard seed ring now. They also thanked Wu Dongxiao for his hard work.

Wu Dongxiao said, "Since my two uncles can't come back, it's only my duty to make this trip. Now that the matter is settled, I should go back to report. You don't need to see me off."

Zhong Guanlin and his wife wanted to invite Wu Dongxiao to stay for a meal, but since the two sides were complete strangers, it was not appropriate to bring it up.

Moreover, Wu Dongxiao disappeared in a flash after saying those words.

None of the people present noticed his movements.

They hurried into the courtyard and looked around, but there was no one there.

Afterwards, the family returned to the house and, at Zhong Guanlin's instruction, took their seats.

·

Zhong Guanlin fiddled with the mustard seed ring, examining its resources as he spoke, "You all benefited from Cai'er's kindness and remember his favor. Although we don't know when he will return, once he does, you, including your descendants, must treat him as your closest relative." He then solemnly instructed, "Life is unpredictable. Although I believe Cai'er's future is bright, if something were to happen to him… you must not be negligent in the slightest, and you must not forget the kindness he has shown you these past days. Do you all remember?"

Luo Fengxian smiled, revealing an expression of agreement.

The children and descendants solemnly replied, "We will remember this!"

Zhong Guanlin was somewhat satisfied then.

Then, he examined the contents of the mustard seed ring.

The abundant resources were enough for him to cultivate to the peak of the Suspended Illumination Realm, and there were even pills to assist him in fusion, including several Soul Fusion Pills for the Fusion Realm.

There are also 10,000 Xuan Pearls and 1,000 low-grade Xuan Stones.

Zhong Guanlin's pupils suddenly contracted.

There are even low-grade mystic stones—a resource that only cultivators at the Palace Building stage can use!

He slowly exhaled and looked at Luo Fengxian.

Luo Fengxian also examined the mustard seed ring, then took a deep breath before handing it to Zhong Guanlin.

Perhaps because she was a stepmother, she never hid anything she received from Zhong Cai from Zhong Guanlin.

And Zhong Guanlin never asked her for anything.

At that moment, Zhong Guanlin glanced at Luo Fengxian's mustard seed ring.

The resources inside were indeed not as plentiful as his own, but the quality was similar, and the quantity was not small either.

It is clear that Zhong Cai still highly approves of this stepmother.

There are ten thousand Xuanzhu pearls among them, but only one hundred low-grade Xuan stones.

Zhong Guanlin returned the mustard seed ring to Luo Fengxian and then waved to Zhong Mao.

Zhong Mao had already opened the contents of his storage bag and secretly vowed not to disappoint his sixth brother. Now he didn't mind showing it to his parents.

Zhong Guanlin and Luo Fengxian quickly checked.

There are two thousand Xuanzhu inside, and then there are other resources suitable for Zhong Mao.

After returning the mustard seed bag to Zhong Mao, Zhong Guanlin did not ask to see the mustard seed bags of the other descendants. He simply waved his hand and told them to go back.

"What happened today must not be told to outsiders."

Many of his descendants readily agreed.

Afterwards, they couldn't wait to take the resources back, and once they got back, there would probably be a lot to talk about between husband and wife, parents and children.

Zhong Yun and Zhong Lan'er are both married, so naturally they both have their own privacy...

·

After their descendants had all left, Zhong Guanlin and Luo Fengxian saw that it was getting late and decided to rest early.

However, both of them tossed and turned, unable to sleep peacefully due to the large amount of resources they had acquired. They were only thinking about how to make good use of these resources to cultivate and break through in the future.

late at night.

Zhong Guanlin suddenly burst out laughing.

Luo Fengxian asked softly, somewhat helplessly, "What's wrong with my husband?"

Zhong Guanlin turned over, grasped Luo Fengxian's soft hand, and couldn't help but laugh: "I'm thinking of the Wu family again."

Luo Fengxian said with some helplessness, "Just learn from this experience."

Zhong Guanlin's face turned serious, but he couldn't keep it up for long.

Luo Fengxian: "..."

Finally, Luo Fengxian listened to Zhong Guanlin gloating for quite a while before they both felt tired and went to sleep.

·

The West Tiger's base is still in the same old place, but its territory has been constantly expanding. It has dug into mountains and diverted waterways, and it is no longer what it used to be.

The current site has countless buildings, and judging by its scale alone, it is already showing a trend of developing into a small town.

After a few more years, and after several expansions, a town called "Xihu" will surely appear.

Wu Dongxiao arrived riding a Crimson Fire Phoenix. As he approached, he descended from the clouds and, with a few quick movements, used his movement technique to enter the encampment at lightning speed.

After a brief exploration, Wu Dongxiao arrived at the depths of the camp.

There are two courtyards here, not too close to each other, belonging to Sun Hu and Sun Liu respectively.

Wu Dongxiao concealed himself and followed the voices into the larger courtyard.

·

A rather large martial arts arena was set up in the courtyard. At this moment, a burly middle-aged man was watching with a smile as several young men and women, around twenty years old, sparred together.

Sitting next to the middle-aged man was a strong woman with tanned skin, wearing armor, and a dark-skinned man who seemed close to her.

Among the men and women who were exchanging blows, there was one who combined the features of a strong woman and a dark-skinned man; they must be their children.

Soon, one of the young men, pale-faced, stepped back, and a woman, larger than him, came out to protect him.

The remaining few fought even more fiercely, and soon they gradually left the battle.

The burly man poured many cups of refreshing tea and handed them to the young men and women.

Everyone quickly drank tea to relieve the heat.

Just then, a gentle breeze blew by.

At the edge of the training ground, a tall and handsome young man appeared silently.

Besides his appearance, this young man also possessed a unique aura. It was as if, the moment he appeared, all the blazing light in the world would converge on him, attracting the attention of everyone around him.

This...strange charm made young men and women unable to resist looking at it again and again.

The middle-aged man and the armored woman suddenly stood up, took a few quick steps, and carefully examined the young man, as if trying to etch his appearance into their hearts, or as if they were trying to recognize something.

The handsome young man had no intention of keeping them in suspense, and simply cupped his hands and said, "My name is Wu Dongxiao, and I have come on the orders of my uncles Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan."

In an instant, the burly man showed excitement, his eyes reddened, and tears streamed down his face.

Such a tough guy actually cried at this moment!

The men and women nearby, apart from the armored woman who looked helpless, even the dark-skinned man found it unbelievable—this was nothing like the indomitable Commander Sun Hu!

Wu Dongxiao was clearly surprised that the commander of the West Tiger Regiment had become so emotional and acted in this way, and for a moment he didn't know how to comfort him.

Fortunately, the armored woman, Sun Liu, reacted quickly and bowed in return, saying, "So it's Young Master Dongxiao. Please have a seat."

Wu Dongxiao shook his head slightly: "I also have important matters to attend to. I will leave after completing Uncle Zhong's instructions."

Sun Hu quickly composed himself and beckoned the other men and women to come closer.

News of Wu Dongxiao's triumphant visit to the Wu family has not yet reached the West Tiger's camp, but they can sense the surging aura emanating from him. Coupled with his unusual behavior when he appeared earlier, as a key member of a large hunting group, everyone is naturally more cautious.

Now, they are very polite to Wu Dongxiao.

Sun Hu asked anxiously, "Is Cai'er alright now? Did he ask you to come because he couldn't get away, or—"

Sun Liu also looked nervous and concerned, and followed up with the question: "Is Shao Gan your uncle? Is he with Cai'er now?"

The other men and women didn't dare to interrupt.

Wu Dongxiao quickly replied, "Uncle Zhong is fine, and my uncle has been with him the whole time. The reason they didn't come in person is quite complicated and involves some secrets, so it's hard to explain in a short time. But you don't need to worry, they are safe and sound, and their strength has greatly improved..."

Just like when he was at the Zhong family's house, Wu Dongxiao told the Zhong couple about their current situation, only omitting the information that could not be leaked.

Sun Hu and the others listened attentively, their emotions ranging from extreme joy to shock to calmness, their feelings were quite complex.

Wu Dongxiao didn't waste any words. After finishing speaking, he took out the mustard seed bag and began distributing the gifts. He said to Sun Liu, "Uncle Zhong was also very happy to hear the good news of the deputy commander's marriage. He immediately prepared some gifts for you all."

Xi Hu and his group did not refuse.

From Wu Dongxiao's account, they learned that the young couple were now incredibly powerful and wealthy. Since they wanted to give them a gift, it would be pretentious for them to keep making excuses.

So they all happily raised their hands to accept it.

As they received the call, many young men and women greeted him with phrases like "Thank you for your hard work" and "Please convey my thanks to my cousin."

Those who were married into the family or married into the family were especially happy and moved.

After Sun Liu's children, wife, and son-in-law had all seen the resources they had acquired, they looked at each other in bewilderment.

Each of them received abundant resources, enough to sustain them until they reached the Fusion Realm, and each of them obtained two thousand Mystic Pearls!

Sun Hu and Sun Liu also accepted their mustard seed rings.

Leaving aside the other resources, which were all meticulously considered and astonishing, the real treasures were 20,000 Xuan Pearls and 2,000 low-grade Xuan Stones!

This is extremely beneficial to the development of the hunting group!

Sun Hu also discovered a letter inside from his grandson—Wu Dongxiao is still alive, so he was too embarrassed to read it immediately.

After distributing the items, Wu Dongxiao said with a smile, "Everyone, I've fulfilled my mission, so I'll take my leave now."

Sun Hu and the others had already been informed by him once, so there was no need for further formalities now.

However, Sun Hu and Sun Liu couldn't help but take a few more steps forward before reluctantly saying:

"Please tell Cai'er to take good care of himself while he's away and not to worry about us."

"Please convey our thanks to Cai'er. When the family reunites in the future, we will definitely have his cousins ​​thank him in person."

Wu Dongxiao smiled and nodded, then with a flicker, he disappeared from everyone's sight.

·

Sun Hu and Sun Liu's family were slightly stunned, unable to see where he had gone.

The next moment, Sun Hu took out Zhong Cai's letter and read it carefully... The account in it was almost identical to what Wu Dongxiao had said, but what really made Sun Hu's expression change slightly were the last few lines.

Sun Hu called out to Sun Liu and pointed it out to her.

Sun Liu's expression changed drastically, but she was overjoyed—she quickly went over to the one of her children who had a pale face.

"Sui'er, come here and find the purple box among the resources your cousin gave you!"

Sun Sui didn't recognize every resource and originally planned to study them slowly later. However, seeing his mother's eagerness, he quickly took out the purple box and handed it over.

Sun Liu was very strong, but his fingers trembled slightly before he opened the box.

Her son-in-law, Luo Song, keenly noticed this and quickly came to her side to protect her.

·

Inside the purple box was a rare and precious natural material, about two inches long and resembling a tree branch.

At first glance, it might look like a rare medicine, but it is actually a product of nature.

It has a name: the Marrow Cleansing Branch.

·

Sun Liu's eyes reddened, and she said in a trembling voice, "Sui'er, this is a gift from your cousin. Your mother will protect you, and when you take this, it will improve your aptitude. At the very least..." she almost choked up, "it will raise you to the top of the Yellow Rank, and at most, it will reach the Profound Rank!"

"Even your body can be nourished and rejuvenated by this substance!"

"You—you must always remember your cousin's kindness!"

These words caused an uproar among all the younger generation.

It's such a treasure!

Their cousin actually sent such a treasure!

The young men and women looked at each other, then simultaneously turned to look at Sun Sui.

Sun Sui was still in a state of disbelief, his lips trembling slightly.

It was only because his wife supported him that he didn't faint from the overwhelming emotions.

But in the end, Sun Sui managed to hold on.

He said slowly, "I will definitely not let my cousin down."

Everyone present was very happy for Sun Sui.

The young men and women were certainly tempted by the Marrow Cleansing Branch, but they were more concerned about Sun Sui's health.

Now things are much better. Before long, Sun Sui will be able to recover his health.

Yes, I can be like them now.

·

Inside the city gate tower.

Zhong Cai and Wu Shaogan leaned against each other lazily.

The total number of Dragon Armor Soldiers summoned so far has reached twelve.

And they were all fed to the peak of Nirvana.

But... now only eight remain.

Four of them were intended by the couple to be left to the Azure Dragon Academy, as a "redemption fee" for Jiang Chongguang and his son, and were set aside.

The other eight were divided into four groups by Zhong Cai and combined into pairs.

...The ending is quite obvious.

Since there are still four dragon-armored soldiers at the peak of Nirvana left, it means that all four combinations have failed.

They couldn't even synthesize a single mutated dragon armor soldier.

·

Zhong Cai wasn't exactly frustrated, because if level nine mutated dragon armor soldiers were so easy to synthesize, wouldn't that seem too casual?

The ninth level is a peak that is difficult to climb.

Zhong Cai rested his chin on his hand, looking at the four dragon-armored soldiers left behind after the failed synthesis, and suddenly felt a bit displeased.

"Two more sets, please!"

The four dragon-armored soldiers quickly separated and then collided with each other!

"Bang!"

Within both groups, one dragon-armored soldier was reduced to dust!

So, only two statues remained.

Zhong Cai took a deep breath: "Resynthesize!"

So many top-tier dragon armor soldiers have already been destroyed, this time—

"Bang!"

However, the outcome remained unchanged.

Synthesis failed.

Of the original eight peak-level dragon armor soldiers, only one remains.

·

Zhong Cai pressed Wu Shaogan down on the stone bed, putting him in charge of supervision for the time being, while he left the ancient city in a huff.

He needs to go out and clear his head!

Coincidentally, as soon as Zhong Cai arrived at the two halls, he saw a gate to all living beings open.

Wu Dongxiao led Sang Yunchu and Jiang Chongguang in.
