Xiao Huaichen said: "You can speak, why did you only speak now?"
The Soul Summoning Banner said lazily, "I won't tell you, because this world doesn't allow magical instruments as powerful as mine to exist."
"And if I say it again, the girl behind you will be scared to death."
Xiao Huaichen turned around and saw that Chen Rong's face was pale and she looked shocked.
Xiao Huaichen quickly put the soul-calling banner into his arms and turned to pull Chen Rong.
"Don't be afraid. You've already died once, so why are you still afraid of these things?"
Chen Rong took a long breath and said, "You're right. I've died once, so what am I afraid of?"
Xiao Huaichen nodded: "Yes, don't be afraid."
"I've been accidentally involved in some things before, and each time I was on the verge of death, but I managed to pull through."
"So don't worry, just wait until the capital."
Shen Rong nodded and gradually calmed down.
But when she looked at Xiao Huaichen's arms, she was still curious about the thing.
Xiao Huaichen said: "Nothing, I left for many years, and it brought me back."
"Don't worry, it means no harm."
Shen Rong completely relaxed and continued, "It's okay, I know you won't hurt me."
"But I haven't asked for your name yet."
"My name is Xiao Huaichen, Xingwu, you can call me Xiao Wu."
Chen Rong said: "How can that be possible? I'd better call you Fifth Brother."
According to seniority, he should be called "Fifth Grandpa".
Xiao Huaichen looked numb and nodded, "Okay."
The two continued on their journey. On the way, he found a place to rest and asked the spirit-calling banner, "How can I get back?"
The Soul Summoning Banner said, "I don't know either. My magic power has greatly decreased. I can only summon souls three times here."
"After three times, I will fall into complete silence, no different from an ordinary wine flag."
"As for you, I'm surprised you brought me here for no reason."
Xiao Huaichen was shocked and said, "Nonsense, it was clearly you who dragged me here."
The soul-summoning banner said, "Nonsense, you were thinking of escaping when you pulled me. This is where you wanted to escape to."
Xiao Huaichen was suspicious: "I wanted to escape, but I wanted to escape to a safe place."
The spirit-calling banner hummed softly: "Congratulations, this is the place you think is the safest."
Xiao Huaichen: "..."
Could it be that it was really his idea that brought him here?
There are no scary seabed cracks in this world, so it is indeed very safe.
But...it shouldn't be that serious, right?
He should be thinking about the Qingcheng Sect!
What went wrong?
Oh, never mind, I’ll go home and see my brother first.
Soon, they entered Beijing smoothly.
However, when the people in the Shen family saw Shen Rong return, they were all shocked.
Because someone from Prince Qi's Mansion reported that Chen Rong was dead.
Moreover, seeing that Chen Rong came back with a man, they thought that Chen Rong had eloped with the man, and even Mr. Shen was frightened.
Old Master Shen had met Xiao Huaichen before, and the two were playmates.
But he just felt that Xiao Huaichen looked familiar, but he couldn't remember where he was.
Then he asked tentatively, "Sir, what is your name?"
Chen Rong replied, "Grandpa, his surname is Xiao and his name is Huaichen."
"What's your name?"
Mr. Shen was horrified.
Xiao Huaichen said to Chen Rong, "Go out first. I have something to say to your grandfather."
Shen Rong was suspicious, but still walked out obediently.
Seeing Shen Yan coughing due to excitement, Xiao Huaichen supported him and said, "Little Stone, it's me, Huaichen."
"I followed the Imperial Master Zhang Qingcheng in cultivating immortality, so my appearance hasn't changed."
"I saved your granddaughter by chance, and I also want to go back to Beijing to see my eldest brother."
"This is my jade pendant. Luckily I have it with me, otherwise you wouldn't have dared to recognize it."
As he spoke, he showed Chen Yan the dragon-patterned jade pendant he had when he was the fifth prince.
Shen Yan looked at it and knelt down quickly.
Xiao Huaichen helped him up and said, "Don't be like this. I'm no different from an ordinary person now."
"The matter of your granddaughter is also very strange. You should find a way to bring me into the palace."
"As long as I'm here, the evil plot of Prince Qi's Mansion will not succeed."
Chen Yan was both excited and moved, tears streaming down his face. After crying for a while, he said, "The Emperor always said that you were just cultivating immortals, so he always announced to the outside world that you were still alive, just hiding in the mountains."
"Don't worry, I'll take you into the palace in a moment."
Xiao Huaichen finally felt relieved, but after thinking for a moment, he said, “Let’s take Chen Rong with us. It will be safer in the palace.”
Shen Yan nodded repeatedly and said happily: "Thank you, Your Majesty."
Soon, Chen Yan came out wearing a brocade robe.
Seeing this, Chen Rong's father asked in surprise, "Dad, where are you going?"
Chen Yan said: "Don't ask, go change into your official uniform and let's go into the palace."
"And Rong'er, go change your clothes too, so as not to keep the Fifth Prince waiting for too long."
"Fifth Prince?" Shen Lie and Shen Rong were shocked.
Chen Yan said impatiently, "Hurry up, don't dawdle."
"You are still young, and there are many things you don't know."
"This is the current emperor's younger brother, the Fifth Prince."
The whole thing was about to break apart.
Didn’t the Fifth Prince follow the Imperial Master to cultivate immortality?
Even if he is still alive, he must be sixty years old now. How is it possible that... he only looks twenty years old?
Xiao Huaichen showed his jade pendant to Shen Lie and said, "People who cultivate immortality age more slowly than ordinary people."
"I have known your father since childhood, and I will not lie to you."
