The conversation between the two was somewhat stiff, as if they were both trying to cover up the awkward situation that had just occurred.

"Well, let's go out." Zhang Yuechen waved her hand slightly.

Qin Ze nodded in agreement, and the two walked out of the Dragon Tiger Pool together, returning to the shore.

They stood aside, feeling the gentle breeze, and gradually relaxed.

Qin Ze and Zhang Yuechen returned to the main hall of Longhu Mountain, where Zhang Tianshi was already waiting.

Although he was a little surprised that Qin Ze and Zhang Yuechen would return at the same time, he didn't ask any questions and simply greeted them with a smile.

Inside the main hall of Longhu Mountain, Qin Ze stood before Zhang Tianshi, preparing to take his leave. Zhang Tianshi smiled at Qin Ze, his eyes filled with deep appreciation and encouragement.

"Young friend Qin Ze, your performance in the secret realm during this period has greatly astonished me. Your growth is arguably the most dazzling among the younger generation, even surpassing us old folks." Zhang Tianshi's voice carried a gentle yet firm tone.

Qin Ze smiled slightly and bowed deeply, expressing his respect and gratitude to Zhang Tianshi. "Thanks to your and Master Yuechen's guidance, I have achieved my current strength and understanding."

Master Zhang waved his hand and smiled, "It's my honor to have been of any help. The journey to the secret realm has had a profound impact on your growth and cultivation. I hope you will continue to work hard on your future path."

Qin Ze nodded, his eyes resolute. "I will, I will continue to work hard."

Zhang Tianshi smiled and nodded, then looked at Qin Ze with deep affection and said, "Young friend Qin Ze, you have a long road ahead of you, but I believe you will go even further."

Qin Ze sensed Zhang Tianshi's expectations and encouragement, and he was deeply moved. He solemnly replied, "I will remember your teachings and live up to your trust."

"Alright, time waits for no one, young friend Qin Ze should head back now. Longhu Mountain will always welcome you whenever you need help." Zhang Tianshi's voice carried a profound meaning.

Qin Ze nodded and said gratefully, "Thank you, Master Zhang. I will never forget the help that Longhu Mountain gave me."

Afterwards, Qin Ze and the others prepared to leave Longhu Mountain.

Before leaving, Qin Ze wanted to see Zhang Yuechen to express his gratitude and say goodbye, but Zhang Yuechen refused.

Qin Ze felt somewhat regretful.

In the end, Qin Ze left Longhu Mountain with Wang Ying, Liu Ruoxin, and Zhang Han.

On a mountain peak not far away, Zhang Yuechen silently watched Qin Ze's departing figure.

A meaningful glint flashed in her eyes.

Qin Ze returned to his home, where the atmosphere felt warm and familiar.

After saying goodbye, Liu Ruoxin returned to the Liu family home, and Wang Ying also hurriedly returned to the Wang family home. Only Qin Ze had just returned; as soon as the door opened...

Wenxiang rushed over like a gentle breeze, cheerfully calling out Qin Ze's name.

"You're back!" Wenxiang's voice was full of joy and anticipation, and her eyes sparkled with tenderness.

Qin Ze smiled and knelt down, gently picking up Wenxiang and feeling her warmth. "Yes, I'm back. How were you? Did you miss me?"

Wenxiang nodded, her eyes filled with happiness and peace. "Yes, I missed you."

The phrase "I miss you" seemed to touch the most sensitive chord in Qin Ze's heart.

Their eyes met, and a tacit understanding and emotion filled the air.

Wenxiang suddenly smiled and leaned closer, giving Qin Ze a deep and tender kiss that conveyed her love and longing for him.

Their feelings for each other reached a new height at that moment. They stopped talking and simply enjoyed each other's warmth and intimacy.

Two hours later, Qin Ze was still holding Wenxiang tightly in his arms, and their feelings for each other seemed to have become even stronger at this moment.

However, Qin Ze was not only basking in this happiness; he also turned his attention to Wenxiang's mother's condition.

"Wenxiang, is your mother's condition better?" Qin Ze's voice carried a hint of concern.

Wenxiang nodded gently and replied with a smile, "Yes, Mother's condition has improved. One more surgery should be enough for a full recovery. Mother asked me to thank you properly; she said that without you, her condition might not have improved so much."

Qin Ze felt a sense of relief and joy upon hearing this. He wasn't seeking thanks, but hearing Wenxiang's mother express her gratitude still warmed his heart.

However, a mischievous smile appeared on Qin Ze's face. He looked at Wen Xiang and asked, "So, how did your mother tell you to thank me?"

Wenxiang blushed, understanding Qin Ze's meaning, and rolled her eyes at him.

Then, she slowly lowered her head.

After spending a day at home with Wenxiang, Qin Ze received a call from Qin Yurou the next morning.

"Brother, I heard from Uncle that you're back. I'm having a party today, do you want to come?"

The next morning, Qin Ze and Wen Xiang enjoyed a peaceful morning at home.

Just as they were about to leave, Qin Ze's phone rang, showing a call from Qin Yurou.

When Qin Ze received Qin Yurou's invitation to a party, he wasn't particularly interested. He wasn't good at handling lively occasions.

He preferred a quieter environment. Therefore, he politely declined Qin Yurou's invitation, indicating that he probably wouldn't go.

However, Qin Yurou was not willing to give up. She knew her brother's personality, but she still hoped that he could accompany her to the party.

So she started to whine like a little child: "Brother, you have to come! I haven't seen you in so long, I miss you so much!"

Qin Ze's heart softened when he thought of his younger sister's coquettish manner.

He understood that Qin Yurou genuinely wanted to spend this time with him.

He sighed softly, a smile playing on his lips, and finally accepted Qin Yurou's invitation.

Thinking of Qin Yurou, he couldn't help but think of the girl named Lin Wan'er.

Right after the Qin family destroyed the Mihuan Sect, Lin Wan'er left the Qin family. As for where Lin Wan'er went, no one knows.

Qin Yurou was overjoyed and jumped up, excitedly saying, "That's great! Brother! I'll definitely make sure you have a fun party!"

In the afternoon, Qin Ze arrived at the place he had arranged to meet Qin Yurou.

The party was lively and full of joy and energy.

The venue was decorated in a gorgeous and unique way, with colorful lights twinkling in the night, enhancing the atmosphere of the entire party.

As the music begins, one can't help but sway to the melody, feeling a sense of joy and relaxation.

The party venue was spacious and bright, decorated with a variety of dazzling ornaments, creating a lively atmosphere.

In the huge dance floor, people jumped and swayed, their joyful laughter and cheers filling the air.

Various musical styles took turns on stage, from dynamic electronic music to passionate rock, each leading people into different emotions.
