After resting in the inn for one night, everyone set off for Shaoyang Peak the next day.

It took nearly half a month to catch the monster this time. This is the first time Xuan Ji has been away from home for such a long time, and I miss it a little.

I don’t know how Linglong is doing. She couldn’t come to catch the monster. Are you still angry?

Mom probably won’t worry anymore, maybe she’s making a bunch of delicious food waiting for her to go back!

After returning, I no longer have to live in the terrible Mingxia Cave. There is also the lively event of the hairpin conference. Xuan Ji suddenly felt that life was quite beautiful.

Seeing that she kept laughing in front of her, Chu Yinghong couldn't help but ask: "You, you've laughed from yesterday to today. Let me tell Aunt Hong what's the happy thing?"

Xuan Ji put her body close to her chest, looked at the clouds flowing by her feet, and whispered: "I'm happy with everything. I never knew I would be so happy when I came out. Also, I'd be happier after I came out and thought that I could go back."

Chu Yinghong laughed: "The little girl misses home! She has only been out for half a month. When you are sixteen years old, you have to go down the mountain to experience it. That's how many years you have to go out!"

Xuan Ji said anxiously: "Then... can I not go out? Or, come back to see it after going out for a few months."

Chu Yinghong shook her head: "Xuan Ji, people always have to grow up and escape from the protection of their family. Although you are a girl, you must also learn to be a useful person and can no longer hold everyone back like this time. This is not only a training for yourself, but also to protect the people you want to protect. Are you willing to see your relatives get hurt or even die to protect yourself?"

Xuan Ji's lips moved, and she had nothing to say.

This incident really hit her a big blow. She used to live in her own world and was too lazy to look outside. Later she realized that the outside world was not that true. It turned out that she really knew nothing.

Seeing that she hadn't spoken for a long time, Chu Yinghong stopped talking.

Some things are not good if you say too much, especially children like her.

After a long time, the little girl suddenly moved in her arms, like a warm little animal, gently holding her hand and whispered: "Aunt Hong, I want to be a useful person. I don't want to drag everyone down any longer."

Chu Yinghong was extremely happy, and held her little hand back and said softly: "Aunt Hong will teach you a lot. After returning to Shaoyang Peak, learn with Aunt Hong."

Xuan Ji nodded silently, after a while, suddenly looked up, "Aunt Hong, I want to learn to step on the sword first. OK?"

Chu Yinghong laughed: "Okay... everything depends on you. But Xuan Ji, this is not called flying on the sword, it is called flying on the sword..."

As she said that, she deliberately lowered her feet, and the sword under her feet twisted and turned in the air like a snake, rising and falling, left and right. The clouds and mists beside her feet were like white gauze, cut by a sharp sword, rubbed through their hair, and mischievously penetrated through their fingers.

Xuan Ji laughed happily.

Amid the laughter, everyone returned to the Shaoyang Sect, which had been away for half a month.

When they arrived at Shaoyang Peak, Chu Yinghong and Dongfang Qingqi went to the top to find the leader.

Calculate the time, there are two days left to officially begin, and people from all sects should be here one after another. There are too many things to be busy during this period, including everyone's accommodation, the sorting of the martial arts venue, the placement of Tiangou, etc.

Adults are busy with their own business, while children play on their own.

Xuan Ji was in a hurry to go home to find her mother and Linglong. Zhong Minyan naturally wanted to visit her master's wife. As for Yu Sifeng, he originally wanted to find her master, but the two of them forced her to leave, saying that she wanted to introduce Linglong to him to know her good friend who had changed from an iron triangle to an iron four corner.

He could not resist them, so Yu Sifeng had to follow him. In fact, he didn't dare to find his master and the others so quickly. His mask was broken and many people saw his face. He didn't know how they would scold him, and it was a moment of delay.

As soon as Xuan Ji returned to the familiar courtyard, she looked around and shouted: "Mom, Linglong! I'm back!"

As soon as he finished speaking, the door was kicked open suddenly, and a petite figure rushed out quickly and stuck to her with force, almost knocking her to stagger.

"Xuan Ji Xuan Ji Xuan Ji Xuan Ji! I miss you so much! I'm finally back!" Linglong hugged her neck tightly and shouted at the top of her throat, shaking loudly.

"Linglong... I can't breathe... my ears are also deaf..."

Xuan Ji's low protest obviously had no effect. Linglongba touched her from head to toe, and she burst into tears and kept asking: "Is it dangerous? Are you okay? I'm so worried that I can't sleep well! Let me see if my arms and legs are so good!"

"I'm not, it's okay..." Linglong's ability was much better than that of a demon.

Linglong hugged her and shouted for a long time, then she found two dumb boys standing behind Xuan Ji.

"Ah, Xiao Liuzi!" Linglong began to get excited like chicken blood again, rushed over and hugged him, and touched him from head to toe, confirming that his hands and feet still existed.

Zhong Minyan had known her virtue for a long time, so she could only smile bitterly, touch her little head, and said softly: "We are all okay, don't scream. You just listen to you yelling alone in the entire Shouyang Mountain."

Yu Sifeng coughed behind him, indeed! He sighed in a low voice: "Oh, from Central Plains, girl!"

Thanks to the gentleness and shyness of the Central Plains girls all day long, if they know Xuan Ji's lazy and delicate stingy, they are afraid that their eyes will fall off.

Linglong had long seen the handsome young man beside Zhong Minyan. Her ears were sharp and she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows and shouted: "What did you say! What's wrong with the girls in Central Plains?!"

Yu Sifeng touched her nose and knew the current affairs very well, "No, nothing..."

Linglong pouted and imitated his strange tone: "No, nothing~~ I can't even say anything about Zhongyuan, so why do you say Zhongyuan girls! Hello, who are you?"

Yu Sifeng felt a headache, and she was not willing to avoid it, but she was reluctant to answer. She was depressed, and Zhong Minyan kindly helped him to help him get the situation.

"This is a disciple of Lize Palace, named Yu Sifeng. We met the deputy palace master of Lize Palace halfway, and asked Sifeng to come and help us catch the monster. He is our good friend and helped us a lot along the way. Linglong, don't be so angry."

Xuan Ji nodded quickly, and she finally found a chance to interrupt, "Yes, yes, Linglong! Si Feng is a good friend, you will like him."

Linglong stomped her feet hard and said anxiously: "I don't like it! I don't like it! I hate it so much. Why can he go to catch monsters? You can go, just stay at home and stare blankly! I hate it! I'm almost suffocated!"

Xuan Ji had no choice but to keep persuading her.

Just as he was having a big fuss, he suddenly heard a smiley voice from the gate of the courtyard: "Junior sister, stop making trouble, let the master know, he will punish you again."

Linglong heard that his father's legs were weak, so he had to rub his eyes unwillingly and said angrily: "Senior Brother will use his father to scare me!"

Xuan Ji hurriedly turned around, and it turns out that the person who came was Du Minxing. After not seeing him for half a month, his complexion was much better than before. After washing away the taste of a scholar before, he showed a gentle and steady style.

When he saw Xuan Ji, he couldn't help but smile and said softly: "Xuan Ji, you are finally back. Master's wife and junior sister Linglong are always thinking about it."

Xuan Ji's closest person in the entire Shaoyang sect is the eldest brother Du Minxing. When he saw him coming, he quickly met him. The eldest brother kept calling.

Du Minxing rubbed her head lovingly and smiled: "Go in and tell us about the experience of catching monsters. Is this... little brother..."

When Yu Sifeng saw him looking at him, he looked at the hand Xuan Ji was holding his arm. Somehow he was a little disgusted. He bowed and said calmly: "Let me, Li Ze Palace, disciple, Yu Sifeng."

Du Minxing smiled slightly, not caring about his indifference, and only advised a few children to come into the house and talk.

When Linglong heard about the experience of catching monsters, she was the first to rush into the room excitedly and turned around to wave to them: "Come in quickly! Xuan Ji, Xiao Liuzi, Si Feng! I want to listen to you about catching monsters!"

After being so happy, I long forgotten the previous dispute with Yu Sifeng and took this new good friend very happily.
