Zuan collected his thoughts, put everything away, and then buried the bodies of Old Man Mi and Wei Dan completely, letting them rest in peace. To prevent their bodies from being disturbed by wild animals, he dug the pit very deep and then piled a large mound of earth on top of it.
As for Wu Di, he originally couldn't be bothered with him, but considering that Wu Di had contributed two secret manuals, he still buried him for him.
Of course, because he didn't have any silver notes, he would never have had the chance to be neighbors with the two grandmasters.
After doing all this, Zaun finally embarked on his journey back to Brightmoon City.
It seems that Old Man Mi didn't fly with him for very long before, but it wasn't so easy for him to walk on his own.
Not to mention the ferocious beasts deep in the mountains and forests, it is difficult to find a path even in the dense forests everywhere.
Fortunately, his cultivation level has improved, and he has various external advantages protecting him. The most powerful red dragon in Dragon Hidden Mountain is also dead, so as long as he is careful, he doesn't need to worry about safety.
It took Zu'an almost a whole day to finally return to the Chu family.
"Huh, why are there so few people from the Chu family?" Zu An asked, somewhat puzzled.
Even the Chu family's door was open.
Has something happened?
He was startled and hurriedly ran inside.
As a result, they bumped into someone head-on, who turned out to be Cheng Shouping.
"Aunt...Aunt...Uncle?" Cheng Shouping rubbed his eyes and called out in disbelief.
"What? It hasn't been that long, and you don't recognize me anymore?" Seeing the familiar face, Zu'an's mood improved considerably.
"You...you weren't captured by two grandmasters?" Cheng Shouping asked, dumbfounded.
"Huh?" Zu'an asked curiously, "You actually knew that he was a Grandmaster?"
Cheng Shouping replied, "I heard from Feng Daniu and the others that everyone is very worried about you. You know, he's a Grandmaster."
Zuan snorted: "What's so great about a mere Grandmaster? Can he stop me?"
Cheng Shouping's eyes lit up: "Young Master is indeed unfathomable. My admiration for Young Master is like a surging river that never ends."
As he spoke, he called out into the courtyard, "The son-in-law is back! The son-in-law is back! The son-in-law has beaten up two grandmasters and is back unharmed!"
Hearing his pig-like screams, Zu'an felt a little embarrassed, but the feeling of being flattered seemed quite nice. He finally understood why so many important people liked sycophants.
Upon hearing Cheng Shouping's voice, the once quiet Chu family suddenly became lively, with countless people rushing out to see him.
Not long after, a petite figure, accompanied by a fragrant breeze, rushed into his arms: "Brother-in-law, I thought you... I thought you..."
Chu Huanzhao's body trembled slightly, clearly too excited to speak.
Zuan felt a warmth in his heart and gently stroked her hair: "With such a cute little Zhao here, how could I bear to let anyone take her away?"
"Brother-in-law is so good~" Chu Huanzhao's face still showed traces of tears, obviously she had been worried about him. That's why she was smiling through her tears now, and her smile looked even more beautiful and lovely.
"Ahem~" At this moment, a soft cough came from afar. Qin Wanru was standing awkwardly to the side, looking like she wanted to say something but couldn't. However, seeing her second daughter and brother-in-law being so intimate made her feel strange.
"Greetings, Madam." Zu'an gave him a slight bow.
Qin Wanru blushed slightly and hurriedly asked, "Are you hurt?"
“Thank you for your concern, Madam. I am not injured,” Zuan replied.
"What about Old Man Mi and that other mysterious expert?" Qin Wanru asked hurriedly. This was what everyone was most curious about, as they couldn't understand how he had escaped from the hands of two grandmasters.
“Dead,” Zuan replied.
"Dead?" Qin Wanru was shocked. Not to mention the Duke's mansion, even in the whole world, every Grandmaster was a figure whose every move could shake the earth. The fall of any one of them was a huge event. "How did he die?"
"She must have died at the hands of her son-in-law," Cheng Shouping couldn't help but say, as if he could also bask in some glory that way.
Qin Wanru glared at him: "Don't talk nonsense, a grandmaster is not..."
Just then, Zu'an said, "Old Mi did indeed die at my hands."
Qin Wanru: "..."
The servants: "..."
At first, everyone found it unbelievable, but the fact that Zuan had returned safely was undeniable, and people gradually began to believe it.
If they could send bullet comments at this moment, the screen would be filled with "666".
Just then, a figure came over and grabbed him: "You kid can kill a Grandmaster? How is that possible!"
Zu An looked closely and saw that it was Ji Dengtu, and there was also a shy and well-behaved girl not far away, who else could it be but Ji Xiaoxi.
"What are you doing here?" Zu An was a little confused, mainly because Ji Dengtu, that lecher, entering the Chu family was never a reassuring thing.
Ji Xiaoxi, standing to the side, said in a soft voice, "Brother Zu, you were arrested earlier, so we rushed over to help and also to give Madam Chu some follow-up treatment."
Zuan smiled slightly: "As expected of my good sister, she came as soon as she knew I was in trouble."
Ji Xiaoxi lowered her head shyly, her hands awkwardly clutching the hem of her clothes, her pretty face flushed.
Chu Huanzhao snorted inwardly. This woman looked obedient, but she was actually a vixen. However, considering that she had saved his mother, he felt embarrassed to curse her in his heart. He was extremely conflicted.
Ji Dengtu jumped out and blocked the two of them: "You brat, what's with all this 'brother and sister' stuff? Are you that close to Xiao Xi?"
Seeing his doting fatherly demeanor, Zuan wisely kept his mouth shut.
