Jingcheng has the Tower of Babel and the Tongtian Academy, and it is also the "hometown" of the Marquis of Jingcheng, so it was not included in the relocation list.
In fact, civilian air routes have basically stopped. If it weren't for Shen Qian's special identity, he would have had to transfer through the underground city to return to Jingcheng. However, Jiang Xuan's cultivation level was not high enough, so Shen Qian still used a military aircraft to bring her back as well.
After the plane came to a stop at Jingcheng Second Airport, Shen Qian led Jiang Xuan off the plane, with Dao Jiu and the guards of Lu Shu Camp silently following behind. They walked through the extremely deserted waiting hall, where a number of people were already waiting at the exit.
Seeing so many people, Jiang Xuan, who had been clinging to Shen Qian like a little bird, suddenly shrank back like a frightened rabbit.
He couldn't pull her away in time, and by the time he turned around, Jiang Xuan had already run far away. Hearing the commotion ahead, he had no choice but to give up. He gestured to a strong member of the guard team to follow, while he turned around again, his gaze sweeping over those familiar yet unfamiliar faces.
It has been almost a year since Jiangzhong Military Academy started classes, and this is the first time Shen Qian has set foot on his homeland.
Looking at the faintly visible scenery of the small town outside the airport, Shen Qian felt a surge of excitement.
"Kozen!"
The first to greet them were a middle-aged couple, while the welcoming crowd, led by Chai Haotian, the city lord of Jingcheng, tacitly slowed their pace.
"Dad, Mom!"
Shen Qian hugged Wang Xiaojuan, who was already crying her eyes out, and then exchanged a complicated glance with Shen Liang. "Alright, alright, so many people are watching. Mom, you're a powerful figure now, aren't you afraid of being laughed at?"
Shen Qian's words were not entirely a joke. After Wang Xiaojuan and Shen Liang resumed their martial arts practice, Shen Liang, who had a foundation in martial arts, was actually no match for Wang Xiaojuan.
Wang Xiaojuan has now reached the advanced level of martial artist, and in a small city like Jingcheng, she can definitely be called a strong person, but Shen Liang is still struggling at the intermediate level of martial artist.
"You brat, what kind of powerful figure are you..."
Wang Xiaojuan pinched the grinning Shen Qian hard, but finally burst into laughter through her tears, "You haven't come back even once in so long, even the city lord isn't as busy as you!"
"Isn't he back now?"
Shen Qian chuckled and then walked towards Chai Haotian and the others.
Besides Chai Haotian, the city lord of Jingcheng, all the heads of Jingcheng's government departments came to greet them.
At first, some of them were dissatisfied and did not think that such a grand ceremony was worthy of the sinking, but now they all shut up.
There was no other reason than that, although Shen Qian's aura was restrained, Dao Jiu behind him was unrestrainedly radiating pressure, and that terrifying sense of oppression far exceeded that of Chai Haotian.
If even a lackey is this powerful, then how powerful must Chen Qian be?
Chai Haotian, however, knew perfectly well what was going on. Others might just laugh off the rumors circulating online about the sinking, but he had repeatedly verified them through his own channels... Perhaps the reality was even more exaggerated than the rumors.
After exchanging pleasantries with Chai Haotian, who was enthusiastic but unconsciously a little reserved, and declining the other party's invitation to a banquet, Chen Qian was about to call his parents home when he suddenly caught a glimpse of a figure standing in a corner not far away.
After a moment of surprise, Shen Qian immediately shunned the others and strode over.
As Shen Qian approached, the figure wrapped in a black robe trembled, as if trying to escape. However, under the intimidating gaze of Shen Qian, it remained standing, though its head drooped involuntarily and its pale hands clasped together.

"Eighth Senior Sister, what brings you here?"
Shen Qian walked closer and asked softly.
"How...how did you recognize me?"
Ji Ruoshui timidly raised her head, revealing her gentle eyes and brows beneath the felt hat. Her face was flushed with nervousness, making her breathtakingly beautiful.
"If you hadn't disguised yourself, I might not have even seen you."
Shen Qian said with a hint of amusement.
The main reason was that Ji Ruoshui used a long robe to conceal herself. It was not a modern style and was conspicuous even in a crowd. Especially in the windy airport, the robe was blown tightly against her body. As long as Shen Qian's eyes were not blind, he could not have ignored that weapon that was like a beacon.
“Oh… I, I am…” Ji Ruoshui said hesitantly.
"What is it?"
"...I just want to see you as soon as possible." Urged on by Shen Qian, Ji Ruoshui mustered her courage and said in a voice as soft as a mosquito's buzz.
Shen Qian's heart skipped a beat, and for a moment he forgot that this was in public, and suddenly hugged Ji Ruoshui.
"No..." Ji Ruoshui struggled subconsciously for a few moments, her face already so red it looked like it could bleed.
As Shen Qian felt Ji Ruoshui's body slowly soften, he sighed inwardly... Although his eighth senior sister was shy, she didn't know how to refuse at all, which was practically forcing him to commit a crime!
While Shen Qian was lost in thought, Ji Ruoshui finally snapped out of her daze amidst the many probing gazes from afar. She pulled her soft body away from Shen Qian's arm, turned and ran, leaving only a soft whisper in the wind.
"I'll be waiting for you at the Tower of Babel."
He only had time to wave his hand before sinking.
After seeing Chai Haotian and the others off, Shen Qian finally got into the car to go home with Shen Liang and Wang Xiaojuan. As for Jiang Xuan, she refused to go with Shen Qian no matter what, and took a taxi by herself while Shen Qian was exchanging pleasantries with Chai Haotian and the others.
