Before Hua Xiaogui left, he spoke to his master, who was also his adoptive grandfather, Nangong Changle.
He originally thought that Nangong Changle would stop him, but who would have thought that not only did Nangong Changle not stop him, but he also strongly approved of it. He only urged him to follow Ling Xiao's footsteps.
Nangong Changle was currently regretting his past actions. Such an outstanding disciple had slipped away from his hands.
Therefore, he absolutely could not let Hua Xiaogui follow his footsteps.
He firmly believed that as long as Hua Xiaogui followed Ling Xiao, with Ling Xiao's loyal character, he would definitely help Hua Xiaogui reach a higher level.
After obtaining Nangong Changle's approval, Hua Xiaogui was just about to leave with Ling Xiao, but he suddenly thought of something he was worried about, so he went to the Jade Spring Pavilion.
Wu Sixue was still as elegant and moving as before. She was wearing a light green satin dress that thoroughly seduced her exquisite figure. Her beautiful eyes flickered with joy, making people feel very comfortable.
Every time he saw Wu Sixue, Hua Xiaogui's heart would beat non-stop.
Although she had already given him the opportunity to pursue her, his heart was still so disappointing.
"Xiaogui, you were looking for me?" Wu Sixue lightly jumped in front of Hua Xiaogui with her hands behind her back and asked.
Looking at the woman in front of him that he was always worried about, Hua Xiaogui's complexion was slightly red as he said, "Little Xue, I … I have to leave!"
"Are you going back to your clan?" Wu Sixue's eyes flashed with a trace of sadness as she asked.
Although the person she liked when she first came to the Purple Sky Sect was Ling Xiao, after she found out about Ling Xiao's feelings, she gradually gave up. In addition, Ling Xiao's excellence caused her to shrink back a little.
Later, when she was with Hua Xiaogui in the training ground, Hua Xiaogui disregarded everything and stood up for her, almost losing his life. Her heart was moved by Hua Xiaogui.
Although Hua Xiaogui wasn't that handsome, he was a true man.
Therefore, she made a three year agreement with Hua Xiaogui. As long as Hua Xiaogui became a third grade alchemist within three years, she would date him.
In the end, Hua Xiaogui really fulfilled the promise she made with her. Not only that, her strength had increased tremendously, and she had already revealed her outstanding talent among the younger generation. Although Hua Xiaogui told her that it was all because of Ling Xiao's help that she could achieve what she had today, but she knew that the Tenbin and realm of refining medicine wasn't something that others could help with.
Now, she had already developed feelings for this persistent man.
Now that she heard that Hua Xiaogui wanted to leave, she felt as if her heart had been hollowed out. She felt a little suffocated and uncomfortable.
Unknowingly, he had occupied a rather important place in her heart.
Hua Xiaogui waved her hand and said, "I'm not going back to the family. I'm going to the central region with boss. I don't know when I'll be back, so … I came to say goodbye to you."
All these years, he only had her in his heart. Even though he had never held her hand or kissed her lips, he still clung to the feelings in his heart.
"You're going to the central region?" Wu Sixue asked with a slightly surprised expression.
Hua Xiaogui nodded and clenched his fist. "Yes, boss wants me to broaden my horizons. I also feel that I should go out and gain more experience. Only then can I become stronger."
"Yes, a man should have this kind of drive. I support you." Wu Sixue clenched her fist and encouraged Hua Xiaogui.
"Xiao Xue, you support me?" Hua Xiaogui asked happily.
"Of course I support you. In the future, you must become a fourth rank alchemist, not a fifth rank or above," Wu Sixue said with a smile.
"As long as Xiao Xue believes in me, I … I can definitely do it," Hua Xiaogui replied with a slightly bashful tone.
Wu Sixue smiled and didn't say anything else.
Hua Xiaogui didn't know what to say for a moment.
The two of them just stood there, not daring to look at each other. Their faces were both filled with bashfulness.
"Then … then I'll be leaving. You … take care." In the end, Hua Xiaogui still couldn't say what he was thinking and said with a fawning tone.
"Oh, then … take care too," Wu Sixue said with a forced smile.
Hua Xiaogui nodded and turned around to leave.
Suddenly, a delicate fragrance wafted over, and he was hugged by a delicate body.
Hua Xiaogui's body and mind froze!
"Xiao Xue, you …" Hua Xiaogui only felt that his brain had stopped working, and he couldn't even speak.
"No matter how long I wait, I will definitely wait for you to come back," Wu Sixue said with tears of reluctance in her beautiful eyes.
Then, she pushed Hua Xiaogui away, turned around, and ran away.
Hua Xiaogui quickly turned around and looked at the gradually fading figure. His whole body was filled with happiness and energy.
He shouted in Wu Sixue's direction, "Xiao Xue, I love you. You must wait for me to come back!"
At this moment, he finally let go of the shyness in his heart and bravely said what he had always wanted to say.
Not far away, Wu Sixue wiped her tears and put on a happy smile.
…
Ji Beixin left with Ling Xiao!
Hua Xiaogui also left with Ling Xiao!
They stepped on the Teleportation Array to the Thousand Beast City, and from the Thousand Beast City to the Southern Sky City.
After a few more transfer points, after more than a month, they finally arrived at Gu City.
After arriving at Gu City again, Ling Xiao was almost shocked by the scene here.
Looking at the people coming and going, looking at the Spirit Beasts coming in and out, looking at the lively scene here, Ling Xiao almost thought that he had come to the wrong city.
"Xiao, is this the ancestral land of our clan?" Feng Xianfeng asked.
"I think it should be …" Ling Xiao nodded and replied.
Thinking back to the lifeless atmosphere here, it had only been almost two years and it had become so lively and prosperous, which made Ling Xiao a little incredulous.
There were martial artists coming and going from all over the place, and occasionally people of the Gu Clan could be seen walking around here. Obviously, the High Priest and Cruel Leopard had successfully brought their clansmen to Gu City.
Without hesitation, Ling Xiao led the few people to the Castellan's Mansion.
After becoming the Castellan's Mansion, this place had also changed.
There were two strong men standing at the door, looking very mighty, making others not dare to approach easily.
When Ling Xiao and Feng Xianyun approached, one of the strong men guarding the door shouted, "Who are you?"
Ling Xiao smiled faintly and said, "Please inform your Castellan that Ling Xiao has come to visit."
Ling Xiao did not know the guard guarding the door, so he spoke to him politely.
The strong man guarding the door showed a surprised look and said, "You … Are you really Lord Ling Xiao?"
Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said, "Yes, I am Ling Xiao, I know your Castellan."
"Greetings, Lord Ling Xiao!" The two waited for Ling Xiao to finish speaking and immediately bowed to Ling Xiao.
One of them said, "The Castellan has instructed that there is no need to inform Lord Ling Xiao when he returns. I will bring you in now."
Ling Xiao didn't expect that Cai Xiayue had already instructed him, so he immediately smiled and walked in with Feng Xianyun.
When they arrived at the Castellan's Hall, Cai Xiayue, Poison Scorpion, and the High Priest were all there.
"Castellan, Lord Ling Xiao is back." The man guarding the door stepped forward and bowed.
Cai Xiayue instantly jumped up from her seat and looked excitedly at Ling Xiao who was walking in from the door.
Ling Xiao smiled and nodded to her, then walked to the High Priest's side and greeted, "Grandpa, Yun 'er and I are back."
"Haha, I was just talking about you guys. I didn't expect you to come back. Come, let me see my good grandson." The High Priest seemed to be in a good mood.
At this time, Poison Scorpion immediately stepped forward and bowed to Ling Xiao, "Greetings, Young Master, Young Madam."
Ling Xiao nodded in satisfaction and said, "Old Poison, you guys did a good job. I thought I came to the wrong city just now."
"This is all thanks to Madam," Poison Scorpion replied.
Afterwards, the High Priest brought Feng Xianyun and Little Ling Tian back to the room to talk, and Poison Scorpion tactfully retreated.
Cai Xiayue immediately threw herself into Ling Xiao's arms, "Husband, I missed you so much!"
It had been almost two years since they last met, and Cai Xiayue's longing for Ling Xiao was getting deeper and deeper.
Ling Xiao hugged the mature woman in his arms, and a ball of heat rose.
"Yue 'er, I missed you too," Ling Xiao said hurriedly, and his thick lips immediately kissed Cai Xiayue's jade lips.
The two of them turned their thoughts into dry firewood and raging flames, and they groped each other.
"Husband, carry me back to the room!"
Cai Xiayue's beautiful face was about to bleed. Her strong desire was aroused, and she couldn't wait to speak to Ling Xiao.
Ling Xiao didn't reply, but used his actions to respond to Cai Xiayue's words.
The two of them returned to the room, no longer having any worries, and both of them shook off their clothes.
The two of them quickly blended together, and their loud voices echoed in the room.
After an unknown period of time, the sound gradually subsided.
Cai Xiayue nestled in Ling Xiao's arms like a little woman, and said with a satisfied smile on her face, "Husband, I don't want to leave you anymore!"
Ling Xiao replied softly, "Mm, this time I'll bring you with me. We'll go to the central region and establish our territory."
"Really, that's great. No matter where you go, I'll be with you," Cai Xiayue said excitedly.
Ling Xiao caressed her coquettish face and said pitifully, "Yue 'er, it's been hard on you!"
Although he had snatched this woman, it would be a lie if he said he didn't like such a beautiful woman, especially since she still liked him so much. Of course, he wouldn't let her down.
"Husband, why do you say that?" Cai Xiayue asked in confusion.
"If it weren't for you, Gu City wouldn't be where it is today!" Ling Xiao replied.
"Hehe, this is not my credit, but yours!" Cai Xiayue said with a smile.
"What do you mean?" Ling Xiao was stunned for a moment and asked.
Thus, Cai Xiayue explained it to him.
It turned out that Ling Xiao had established a relationship with the Tang family, the Nangong family, the Xin family, and the Tie Lei tribe. It was also because of the help of these three forces that he had achieved what he had today.
In addition, the fourth and fifth rank medicinal pills that Ling Xiao had left for auction immediately attracted many major forces in the southern region to come and bid.
Therefore, in the past two years, Gu City had instantly returned to its former glory.
Now that the Gu Race had returned.
Everyone in the southern region knew that the Gu Race had not gone extinct. As the number one force in the southern region, their influence was naturally extraordinary.
Therefore, the rise of Gu City was inevitable!
