Xiao Feng’s heart gave a violent jolt, his cold face displaying a hint of astonishment. Had he heard correctly just now? Was his little sister talking about refining an Earth-grade Peak elixir?
Outside of Central Province, an Alchemy Master who could create Earth-grade Peak elixirs already held a very high and esteemed position.
Could it be that she was at the Earth-grade Peak level?
Mu Ruyue paid no attention to the thoughts in Xiao Feng’s mind. Glancing at him, she said, “Father and mother were very worried when they learned of your disappearance. You should come back home with me now, so they can see you.”
Upon hearing this, Xiao Feng felt a twinge of guilt.
He had been recuperating from his injuries on South Island all this time and had only recently regained his health. He had planned to take her to the Xiao Family to see their parents after his recovery, but then all this happened.
“Second Sister, then let’s go. I too have not been home for a long time…”
Thinking of the family waiting for him at home, Xiao Feng’s handsome face lit up with excitement. He wondered if Qingqing had grown taller, whether anyone had dealt with the Nangong Family’s affairs…
Xiao City, Xiao Family.
Within a courtyard full of fallen leaves, Madam Sheng Yue stood under a maple tree, her gaze wistfully fixed on the distance. She had lost count of how many times she had sighed.
“Yu’er, are you still thinking about Yue’er and Feng’er?” Xiao Tianyu hugged her from behind, a tender smile curling at the corners of his mouth. “Don’t worry, they’ll both be fine.”
Madam Sheng Yue huffed, “That girl really, running off to the Nangong Family all by herself. Doesn’t she know she’s making me worry? What if something happens to her? What would I do then?”
As she spoke, Madam Sheng Yue’s voice began to choke up. The thought of the news brought by Yan Jin made her feel a wave of fear—if anything happened to her daughter, she did not know what she might do.
“Yue’er just didn’t want to worry you, that’s why she only told you after everything was settled. Rest assured, she’s probably meeting the Dan Venerate by now, and she might be home soon. Maybe when she returns, she’ll even bring Feng’er with her.”
Madam Sheng Yue sighed, “If only that were true.”
They were both her children; she couldn’t help but worry about them…
Just as she was missing Mu Ruyue and Xiao Feng, an ecstatic voice came from the front yard, “Young Master, Young Madam, I have great news—the Second Miss has returned, and… and the Eldest Young Master has returned as well.”
Madam Sheng Yue staggered, hardly believing her ears, she asked again, “What did you say?”
The person, breathless with haste, still managed to report urgently, “Young Madam, I said, the Second Miss and the Eldest Young Master have returned together and are heading this way.”
This time Madam Sheng Yue heard the person clearly. Her elegantly stunning face suddenly lit up with joy—undoubtedly the best news she had heard in recent days.
Suddenly, the sound of footsteps came from behind her. Madam Sheng Yue stiffened and turned around. Upon seeing the two familiar faces, tears of excitement couldn’t help but spill from the corners of her eyes.
“Mother, we’re back.”
Xiao Feng approached Madam Sheng Yue, bowed his head, and spoke softly.
Madam Sheng Yue trembled as she reached out to touch Xiao Feng’s face. Then she pulled Mu Ruyue into her arms. Only when she felt their real warmth did her heart settle down.
“Feng’er, Yue’er, you’ve finally come back. Do you know how scared your mother was? Don’t ever take such risks again; your parents will bear all dangers for you.”
Mu Ruyue snuggled into Madam Sheng Yue’s embrace, feeling the familiar warmth, and her lips gently curved into a smile, “By the way, Mother, what about the Nangong Family?”
