Who is this?
A hint of doubt rose in his eyes.
He clearly had no recollection of Chen Tianwen.
But where did that strange sense of familiarity come from?
"Dad...he's my brother!"
Chen Yumeng then stopped crying and started to introduce Chen Xiaogu.
Your brother?
A look of surprise flashed across Chen Xiaogu's eyes.
Some didn't react in time.
Upon seeing this, Butler Wu smiled and said, "Master, this is the eldest son, Young Master Tianwen."
These words struck Chen Xiaogu's mind like a bolt of lightning.
His eyes widened as he scrutinized Chen Tianwen.
The image of Chen Tianwen in my memory gradually merged with the white-clad youth before me.
He finally understood where that sense of familiarity came from.
"Heaven... Heavenly Questions?"
Chen Xiaogu's voice carried a hint of disbelief.
"Father!"
Chen Tianwen nodded and shouted enthusiastically.
"It really is you! It really is you!"
Upon hearing Chen Tianwen's familiar voice, tears of excitement welled up in Chen Xiaogu's eyes.
Even in the most difficult times.
There were never any tears in his eyes.
"Your unfilial son has returned late..."
Chen Tianwen knelt on the ground, his voice trembling...
At this time, he was no longer the renowned head of the Chen family in Yunzhou.
He was not a peerless expert who could slay a Nascent Soul cultivator with a sword.
But he was a wanderer returning home...
...
Just as Chen Tianwen was reuniting with his hometown.
Qingzhou, a million miles away.
Divine Sword Sect.
The moonlight, like water, bathed the earth, making the already magnificent Divine Sword Sect appear as if it were a celestial palace in the heavens, sacred and extraordinary.
Red Valley.
Xia Anyu stood quietly amidst the lightning.
The night breeze blew, and her white dress fluttered in the wind, revealing a stunningly beautiful face. Her delicate eyebrows were like willow leaves, and her peach blossom eyes reflected the starry sky, making her look like a dream. Her nose was high and straight, and her lips were as beautiful as a painting. She was graceful and charming, with a fairy-like appearance that could make all people fall in love.
"Sect Master...where are you now?"
Xia Anyu murmured softly, a faint sorrow flashing in her watery autumn eyes.
More than three months had passed since Chen Tianwen left.
For practitioners.
Three months is just a blink of an eye.
But for Xia Anyu...
These three months felt incredibly long.
As Chen Tianwen's absence continued for longer and longer periods.
The emptiness in her heart grew stronger and stronger.
This was a feeling she had never experienced before!
To escape this feeling.
She could only devote all her energy to handling sect affairs every day.
After three months of treatment.
The Divine Sword Sect has finally gotten back on track, integrating all the resources and forces that originally belonged to the Blood Fiend Sect.
They also took the opportunity to rectify the rules within the sect.
In short, everything is moving in a positive direction.
Thinking about the results of these three months of hard work.
A faint sense of pride rose in Xia Anyu's heart.
She couldn't help but think, "When the sect leader returns, he'll be very happy to see all this."
Will he praise me?
Xia Anyu's cheeks felt slightly hot.
If the disciples of the Divine Sword Sect were to see this, they would surely be astonished.
Their cold-faced senior sister actually has such a girly side...
Just as Xia Anyu was lost in thought.
A pale purple light appeared from afar, streaking across the night sky like a shooting star, and landed at the entrance of Red Valley.
Immediately afterwards, a female voice came from outside the valley: "Xiuzhu has urgent business to discuss with Elder Xia!"
Upon hearing this voice, Xia Anyu instantly abandoned her girlish demeanor.
She transformed back into the decisive and aloof beauty who led the Divine Sword Sect.
"Come in."
Xia Anyu spoke up and opened the barrier outside Red Valley.
Soon, a figure was seen walking into the valley.
The newcomer was a woman dressed in purple, with delicate features; she would definitely be a rare beauty even in the outside world.
But compared to Xia Anyu, she paled in comparison.
Xia Anyu looked at the woman and nodded, saying, "Elder Xiuzhu!"
Xiuzhu is one of the few female elders in the Divine Sword Sect.
Because of her quick wit and meticulousness, Xia Anyu has been entrusting her with many tasks lately.
"What do you need me for so late?"
Xia Anyu asked in confusion.
"It's an urgent report from the government!"
Xiuzhu quickly replied.
"The government?"
A look of doubt flashed in Xia Anyu's eyes.
Cultivation sects are independent of the imperial court and rarely interact with it.
The imperial court rarely took the initiative to contact them.
The two sides have always maintained a state of mutual non-interference.
Thinking of this, Xia Anyu asked again, "What is the contents of the urgent report?"
"It's the Sea Clan. A month ago, the Sea Clan landed in Yuzhou, and now they've taken half of Yuzhou and are approaching the border of Qingzhou. The imperial court has sent urgent requests for help to all major sects, asking us to send cultivators above the Nascent Soul stage to jointly resist the Sea Clan..."
Upon hearing this news, a hint of apprehension flashed in Xia Anyu's eyes.
The term "sea creatures" is actually a collective name for sea monsters.
Unlike on the mainland, where humanity defeated all races and successfully reached the pinnacle, this was different.
The ocean has always been a mysterious realm that humankind has never set foot in.
The reason why humans have never set foot there.
It is not that the sea creatures are invincible.
It's not because of the sheer number of sea creatures.
Almost endless.
Even if a Nascent Soul cultivator were to enter, it would be difficult for them to protect themselves.
Not to mention, deep in the ocean, there is a demon kingdom established by the descendants of ancient dragons, whose power is incomparably strong.
