Li Xingran was a little excited when she heard the word "test".
[Do I need to pass through a checkpoint to enter the Qianji Gate? My mother's Qianji Gate is famous throughout the martial arts world for its mechanical arts; it must be really fun. Unfortunately, I'm still too young; passing through checkpoints is my forte.]
"Mother, does Ruan Ruan need to pass the test?" Li Xingran said as soon as she arrived at the entrance of Qianji Gate.
Upon hearing Li Xingran's voice, Xu Ningyou rushed out.
"Ruanruan! My Ruanruan, you must be exhausted from the journey!" Xu Ningyou took Li Xingran from Li Ting's arms and glared at Li Ting.
Li Ting said, feeling wronged, "Madam, please don't glare at me, I'm scared."
[Mother, you went to challenge the combat power rankings, did you get hurt when you cleared the levels?]
"Look, my daughter is so thoughtful, she knows how to care for her mother. Unlike those lousy men, they don't know how to be considerate."
"Mother, are you feeling much better?" Li Ruijin hurriedly came over and tugged at Xu Ningyou's sleeve.
The other boys also gathered around. Li Ruizhang was already taller than Xu Ningyou.
Looking at her five sons and one daughter, Xu Ningyou felt that all the hardship was worthwhile. To prevent the Li family from being wiped out, even injuries were nothing.
Xiao Sheng bowed and said, "Sheng'er greets Master's wife. How have you been lately, Master's wife?"
“Sheng’er, when we get to Qianji Gate, just call me Auntie! Your mother grew up here.”
"Second sister, let me take your pulse." Fan Zu'an made no attempt to hide his feelings and immediately took Xu Ningyou's pulse.
Xu Ningyou didn't hesitate; as a woman of the martial world, she possessed a natural sense of chivalry.
"Third brother, is something amiss?" Xu Ningyou noticed the uncertain expression on Fan Zuan's face.
"Second Sister, you're pushing yourself too hard! Your body was injured, but a few doses of medicine will heal you. You've also turned misfortune into blessing. The removal of the poison you suffered earlier already improved your martial arts skills. And after successfully challenging the martial arts rankings, your internal energy seems to have become even more refined, reaching a state of perfection!"
Those standing in front of the gate of the machine all showed joy.
The youngest, Li Ruiyue, clapped her hands, jumped up and down, and cheered.
Li Ting looked proudly at his beloved wife, Xu Ningyou, who stood tall on the steps, not only beautiful but also full of heroic spirit.
Suddenly, a loud voice rang out.
"Today, our Qianji Sect has received distinguished guests. I am sorry for not welcoming you properly! However, the rules for entering the Qianji Sect must still be observed." As soon as he finished speaking, an old man with completely white hair and beard, a burly figure, bright eyes, and holding a vajra appeared before everyone.
Li Ting quickly bowed and said, "Your son-in-law greets your father-in-law."
"So you finally decided to come back?" Xu Yushan glared at Li Ting, annoyed.
Is this my grandfather? He looks very impressive.
“Father-in-law, this is what Ningyou and I discussed. No wonder I didn’t come back. Here I am, bringing you your only granddaughter.”
After saying that, Li Ting took Li Xingran from Xu Ningyou's arms and placed her in Xu Yushan's hands.
Li Xingran grinned and smiled happily.
Upon seeing the pretty little pink dumpling, Xu Yushan immediately calmed down.
"You're smart enough to let me take care of the child for two days before returning him to you." Xu Yushan said this and then disappeared.
His booming voice echoed through the air once more.
"The introductory techniques of the Gate of Connection are now open! You all better prepare yourselves!"
"Father, do we also have to pass the test?" Li Ruiqi asked, puzzled.
“Yes. Only women don’t need to go through this entrance checkpoint.” Li Ting was on the verge of tears.
"This is not fair!" Li Ruiheng protested.
“Resistance is futile, let’s go, sons.” Li Ting took the lead, leading his five sons away first.
Fan Zuan then followed.
Xiao Sheng and Luo Bingqian took their last steps.
In no time, everyone was separated.
Li Ting passed through the checkpoint with ease and waited in the reception room at the gate.
The second one to come out was Fan Zu'an. "Brother, this place is quite fun. I'd like to try it again. Could you ask the sect leader to set up another level for me?"
Fan Zuan's challenge is a 5x5 Rubik's Cube challenge; you just need to solve the cube to pass.
Xiao Sheng was the third to emerge. His challenge was a sandbox battle; he emerged after winning.
When Xu Yushan saw Xiao Sheng's sand table, he nodded repeatedly. No wonder his daughter and son-in-law used the accumulated wealth of their two families over generations to help him.
He is indeed a prince worth helping.
Judging from the sand table, he is both ruthless and compassionate, a leader with a grand vision.
"Yun Shu, you can rest in peace now. Your child is just as outstanding as you." Xu Yushan couldn't help but feel sorrow as he thought of his exceptionally talented young apprentice.
If he had tried his best to stop her from entering the palace back then, would she be alive now, and would she still be sweetly calling him "Master"?
Next to come out were Li Ruizhang, Li Ruiheng, Li Ruijin, Luo Bingqian, Li Ruiqi, and Li Ruiyue, who came out last.
"That's right, faster than any group of people trying to enter the portal."
"Ningyou, take the people to the back mountain!" Xu Yushan held Li Xingran in his arms, reluctant to put her down.
So this is what it feels like to be loved by elders—warm and sweet.
Fortunately, the book's direction changed; otherwise, such a good grandfather would have been implicated because of the Li family's affairs, the Qianji Sect would have been expelled from the martial arts world, and Tianji Mountain would have been razed to the ground. Not a single disciple of the Qianji Sect survived.
Hearing what Li Xingran said, Xu Ningyou felt fortunate to have given birth to this daughter.
Otherwise, if the Li family were to be massacred, the Xu family would also be unable to absolve themselves of responsibility. After all, the two families are related by marriage.
The back hill is a flat grassland with several courtyards and a few tall, oddly shaped houses.
