Chapter 11 Family Reunion
In the blink of an eye, a whole day had passed.
At 10 o'clock in the morning, when the sky was just getting light, Zhuang Xingyu and Zi Han were standing at the gate of the City Lord's Mansion with a group of guards and maids.
It turned out that today was the day that Zhuang Jingxing and Li Xuanhua had agreed to return home.
About a quarter of an hour later, I suddenly heard the sound of carriages coming from the front. I looked closely and saw that it was the carriage of Zhuang Jingxing and Li Xuanhua.
Zhuang Xingyu quickly grabbed Zi Han's hand and ran over. Because every time his parents came back from going out, they would bring some small gifts to Zhuang Xingyu. Although they were not precious things, Zhuang Xingyu, who was in his 20s mentally, was not really like a child who only knew how to play.
But Zhuang Xingyu was an orphan in his previous life. In this life, he finally had parents and felt what fatherly love and motherly love are. Naturally, he attached great importance to these small gifts. Every time he put these small gifts on the cabinet in his bedroom, he would play with and clean them often.
Just when Zhuang Xingyu was standing at the door of the carriage, waiting for his father to come down.
Suddenly, I felt someone pinching my handsome face and rubbing it back and forth. When I looked up, I found that it was my aunt Zhuang Jingxi, who was looking at me with a smile on her face.
"Greetings, aunt," "Greetings, elder," Zi Han, the guards and maids beside her called out quickly.
What's going on? Didn't my aunt say she was planning to come back from training next month? Why did she come back with her parents? Zhuang Xingyu was very confused.
"Xiao Xingyu, do you miss your aunt? Come here, let your aunt see you!"
"I miss you! I miss you so much, aunt!"
Zhuang Jingxi immediately smiled happily, and Zhuang Xingyu took the opportunity to get rid of his aunt's control. He was about to run to the other side to prevent his aunt from rubbing his head. He heard in his previous life that if someone rubs your head, you will not grow taller.
However, before Zhuang Xingyu could move, he was stopped by his aunt again.
I saw my aunt squatting down, spreading her hands, looking at Zhuang Xingyu, and said seriously: "Xiao Xingyu, I have been away from home for such a long time, and I finally came back. Don't you have any gifts for me?"
Zhuang Xingyu was stunned for a moment. What does that mean? How can an elder ask a younger person for a gift? Aren’t gifts given by elders to younger people? Besides, you said you would be back next month, and I haven’t prepared anything yet!
Seeing the increasingly dangerous look in his aunt's eyes, Zhuang Xingyu didn't dare to say that he didn't prepare a gift. "Yes, I have prepared it. Of course I have prepared it! Aunt, don't worry, I will send the gift to your room this afternoon!"
"Well, since you've prepared it, just take it out now! I'm back now, and it would be inappropriate for you to wait until the afternoon to give it to me!" The aunt looked at Zhuang Xingyu with a playful expression.
"Um, well, that's it, so, so, it's like this..." Zhuang Xingyu still looked at his aunt with certainty, but he stuttered and didn't know what to say. He could only look at Zi Han on the side, hoping for Sister Han's help.
The aunt also turned her gaze to Zi Han, "Come, Xiao Han, look what gift your aunt has brought you." After saying that, she took out a pile of clothes from the storage ring.
"Look, this is what my aunt carefully selected for you. It's all woven with ten-thousand-year-old silk. It's warm in winter and cool in summer, and it also has a certain dust-proof function. It will definitely look good when you wear it!"
"Thank you, Auntie. I like it very much." Zi Han quickly took the clothes and gave Zhuang Xingyu a helpless look.
The aunt looked at Zhuang Xingyu again.
"Okay, sister. Stop teasing Xiao Xingyu. Look how scared your older nephew is." At this time, Li Xuanhua, Zhuang Jingxing and his wife also came down.
"Greetings, clan leader. Greetings, madam." The guards and maids beside them hurriedly saluted and called out.
"Uncle, aunt." Sister Zi Han also called out.
Zhuang Jingxing and Li Xuanhua rubbed Zhuang Xingyu's head, smiled and nodded to the guards and maids beside them, asking them to leave and go about their own business.
"It's broken, it can't grow taller anymore." As expected, this is a world where only Zhuang Xingyu is hurt. Hahahaha.
Li Xuanhua walked forward, held Zi Han's hand and said with a smile: "Sure enough, our Han'er has become more beautiful again. Look, this is the hairpin that mother-in-law brought you from... ahem, a slip of the tongue, a slip of the tongue. Come, let me put it on you."
Zi Han blushed and lowered her head, not daring to look around. "Well, thank you, auntie, it's really beautiful!"
"Haha, the key is that our Xiaohan is pretty!" the aunt joked.
"Let's go back to the mansion and talk. We finally got home, why are you standing at the door all the time?" said his father Zhuang Jingxing with a smile.
But Zhuang Xingyu saw a hint of nervousness in his father's eyes. Could something have happened?
"Yesterday, your father and I were on our way home and we ran into your aunt in the hotel. Your aunt thought that she had been training for quite a while and missed you guys very much, so she decided to come back with us early." The family was walking on the way to the City Lord's Mansion, and mother Li Xuanhua explained on the side.
Walking into the hall of the mansion, my father dismissed the maids and closed the door to make sure there were no outsiders around. My mother, my sister-in-law, and Sister Han also looked confused and nervous, not knowing what had happened.
"Xiao Han'er, have you taken any medicine to quickly increase your soul power recently? You are now at level 26, how is it possible for your soul power to increase so quickly?"
"What? Come on, let me take a look." After hearing this, mother Li Xuanhua quickly pulled Zi Han over and used her soul power to check Zi Han's body with a nervous look on her face.
Her father and aunt were also watching nervously, fearing that Zi Han might get hurt.
Although they have no blood relationship with Zi Han, after all, they have lived together for five years, and they have long regarded Zi Han, this kind, strong and pitiful child, as their own daughter.
Over the years, they have never mentioned the disaster of Zi Han's family being exterminated five years ago, for fear of upsetting Zi Xia. They know that Zi Han has never forgotten that incident, and through subsequent investigations, they discovered that the group of robbery cultivators were actually affiliated forces of the Haotian Sect.
It turns out that before the Haotian Sect was forced to close its doors, in order to rapidly develop the sect and solve the problem of shortage of cultivation resources after losing its ancestral land, it secretly sent people to pretend to be robbers and snatch the soul bones and precious medicines of various small families.
Seeing this, the other forces also pretended to rob the cultivators and fish in troubled waters.
The revenge that was inconvenient to take in the past is now taken today!
The luxury goods that you couldn’t afford in the past can be snatched up today!
Some slaves who were oppressed by the nobles in the past have rebelled today!
The unclear tax bills of the past were all torn up today! That’s right, it was the Haotian Sect that did it.
After finishing these things, write down that you have visited Haotian Sect!
Although everyone with a discerning eye knows that this is fake, everyone does it, everyone says this, and everyone benefits from it. Anyway, no matter whether it is true or not, we all believe it and think that it was done by your Haotian Sect.
If something goes wrong, the Haotian Sect will take the blame, so why not?
During those months, this family lost a few precious medicinal herbs, that family lost a few talented disciples, and it was normal for you to chop me and I to chop you.
This caused everyone in the soul master community to feel insecure, and taxes in various places could not be paid.
Later, there was a group of wanted robbers. Those desperate criminals, free from all ties and very bold, actually set their sights on the royal families of the two empires and the Spirit Hall, ready to do something big.
Unfortunately, it was discovered in advance. Therefore, the two empires and the Spirit Hall were very angry. If they were not afraid of Tang Chen, they would have joined forces to destroy the Haotian Sect. Later, the two empires joined forces to put pressure on the Haotian Sect, and the Haotian Sect was forced to end this action.
Although the matter was suppressed, the damage done to those small families was irreparable.
A grain of sand of the times, when falling on an ordinary person, is like a mountain pressing down on him.
This is the sorrow of ordinary people and small families in Douluo Continent.
When Zi Han heard the news, he knew that the real enemy was still alive, so he practiced desperately.
Zhuang Jingxing, Li Xuanhua, Zhuang Jingxi and others were also worried that Zi Han would take drugs that would damage her foundation in order to seek revenge.
"Uncle, aunt, and cousin, don't worry. I went out of town a few days ago! At that time, I accidentally took a precious medicine, and my cultivation became what it is now. I was also very worried at first, but later I found that nothing was wrong. That precious medicine should not be an ordinary medicine. Instead, it made my foundation more solid." Zi Han explained softly.
"Well, that should be the case. Xiao Han'er is in good health and her foundation is very solid." Li Xuanhua had also finished the examination and said easily.
Hearing this, Zhuang Jingxing and Zhuang Jingxi also breathed a sigh of relief.
"Xiao Han'er, you must never take unfamiliar medicines casually in the future. Your innate soul power is level 9, and with the training of your family, as long as you practice normally and lay a solid foundation, there is still a great hope for you to become a Titled Douluo. When you become a Titled Douluo and have the strength, all problems can be solved. Don't be too hasty, understand?" Zhuang Jingxing advised respectfully.
"Uncle, aunt, and cousin, don't worry. I won't seek revenge on the Haotian Sect until I have absolute strength. I'm sorry for making you worry. I originally planned to tell you about this after entering the mansion, but I didn't expect that you, uncle, would have seen through it outside the mansion!" Zi Han said seriously.
"Well, it's good that you can think this way. The family will always be your most solid backing. Take your time and don't be anxious." Zhuang Jingxing advised again.
"It's good that you're okay, it's good that you're okay, come on, smile for me! Let's go, it's noon, let's go eat. Nephew, come here, these are the ancient books that your aunt brought you. It took a lot of effort to find these things." Zhuang Jingxi took out a stack of books from the storage ring.
"Thank you, aunt, I knew you didn't forget me!" Zhuang Xingyu said with a silly smile.
It turned out that after awakening his memory, Zhuang Xingyu read like crazy in order to quickly understand the difference between Douluo Continent and the novel. After finishing reading all the books on the family library, he often begged the adults to find ancient books for him.
Therefore, family members often collect information in this regard for Zhuang Xingyu.
