"I didn't expect you four fellows could actually pass the Heart-Reflecting Mirror so easily; it seems you demonic cultivators are somewhat unqualified."

Inside Wendao City, Shi Xuan looked at the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain and teased them with a smile.

Old Ghost Fu looked at the young noble lord before him and squeezed a smile onto his face: "Young Master, we actually haven't done anything greatly evil. It is just that the righteous and evil paths cannot tolerate us, so we were labeled with the name of demonic cultivators."

Shi Xuan teased: "This is the first time I have seen someone introduce themselves as so harmless. In this Young Master's view, you four probably dare to offend cultivators from both the righteous and evil paths."

"Hehe."

Old Ghost Fu chuckled: "You have seen through us, Young Master. We do not provoke just anyone. Once we encounter disciples from major powers like you, we cannot hide fast enough."

"Alright, this Young Master will not look into your pasts anymore. From now on, follow behind this Young Master. Without this Young Master's order, you must not act casually."

Shi Xuan said in a very serious tone.

"We respectfully obey the Young Master's order."

As the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain spoke, expressions of excitement appeared on their faces.

Although they did not know their Young Master's name, for him to have cultivated Sword Intent to Great Perfection at such a young age, he must be a top-tier existence in the entire Wendao Academy.

Half an hour later, the group arrived in front of a residence.

The Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain looked toward the plaque at the entrance of the residence and saw two large characters written on it: Shi Residence.

Liang Yi walked up quickly, knocked on the main gate, and shouted loudly: "Uncle Yuan, we are back."

As soon as the voice fell, with a creaking sound, the residence's main gate opened. An elder led several cultivators out.

"Your Highness the Imperial Grandson."

Everyone saluted Shi Xuan in unison.

"Rise."

Shi Xuan continued: "From now on, the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain will stay in this residence. Give them the treatment of second-class guest ministers of the Imperial Grandson's Residence."

"As you command."

Uncle Yuan responded, then cast his gaze onto the four ghosts.

With just one look, the Four Ghosts of Southern Mountain felt as though they were about to be seen through by the other party. A Nirvana Realm expert!

Such a thought immediately surfaced in their minds. The four were just about to ask about the rules of the Young Master's residence, but they discovered that Young Master Shi had already left.

"The four of you, please come with this old man."

Uncle Yuan said indifferently.

"As you command."

The four ghosts followed Uncle Yuan's footsteps and walked into the Shi Residence.

Uncle Yuan slowly introduced everything about the Shi Residence as if he were chatting about daily life.

"Although our Shi Residence is not considered a major household in Wendao City, we are still considered people with status. This old man will not restrict your movements.

However, your every action represents the Shi Residence. If you cause trouble and lose face outside, it will not be just you losing face, but His Highness the Imperial Grandson, or even the Great Sage Qiankun.

Therefore, when you go out, you must pay attention to your words and deeds. Do you understand?"

"Ah!!!"

When the four ghosts heard the four words "Great Sage Qiankun," they were dumbfounded, standing in place with wide-open mouths and eyes staring blankly.

Seeing their appearance, Uncle Yuan said slowly: "It seems the Young Master did not reveal his identity to you. Then let this old man give you a pointer. The Young Master is the personal disciple of the Great Sage Qiankun and the Imperial Grandson of the North Wasteland Emperor. Did you hear clearly?"

"Heard clearly, heard clearly."

The four of them did not expect that one of their decisions would actually allow them to latch onto a legendary golden thigh. This was something countless people dreamed of.

...

After leaving the Shi Residence, Shi Xuan took his disciple and headed to Wendao Academy.

A moment later, the master and disciple arrived at the familiar foot of Miao Miao Mountain.

Shi Xuan did not fly up the mountain on his sword immediately, but walked up quietly.

Along the way, he admired the scenery along the road. He did not know why, but looking at these familiar grass and trees.

Shi Xuan felt that his heart was extremely calm and peaceful. This was a feeling he had not experienced in the past ten years.

At this very moment, Shi Xuan suddenly had an urge to sit cross-legged on the spot and start cultivating.

However, Shi Xuan did not stop his footsteps and continued to move forward.

The road that originally took only a few breaths to walk took Shi Xuan a full half hour this time.

Phew...

Shi Xuan let out a long breath and murmured: "This feeling is truly mysterious."

Hearing these words, Liang Yi, who was to the side, revealed a confused look: "Master, what are you talking about?"

The corner of Shi Xuan's mouth rose slightly: "Don't ask. If you ask, this Master does not know how to answer you either. You go back to your separate courtyard first. This Master still needs to go pay respects to your Ancestral Master."

"As you command."

Liang Yi responded and then turned to leave.

He felt that the Master today was very strange, but for a moment, he could not say what was strange about the Master.

Shi Xuan walked toward the Institute Chief's separate courtyard. Before long, he heard the sound of two children playing inside the Institute Chief's separate courtyard.

???

Shi Xuan's heart was full of doubts. He walked to the entrance of the courtyard and said respectfully: "Disciple Shi Xuan has come to pay respects to Master."

Inside the separate courtyard, Chu Feng was playing with his two daughters. Hearing Shi Xuan's voice, he stopped what he was doing and said with a smile: "Little Xuan, you're back. Come in."

"As you command."

Shi Xuan walked into the separate courtyard. Feeling the puzzled and curious gazes of the two little girls, he really wanted to open his mouth to ask, but he did not know how to ask.

"Daddy, who is this big brother?"

Chu Yuzhi looked at Shi Xuan and asked curiously.

Chu Feng touched his two daughters and said: "This is your Little Senior Brother Shi Xuan."

The two little girls' eyes lit up when they heard the words "Little Senior Brother." They saluted in a proper manner.

"Hello, Little Senior Brother."

"Hello, two Junior Sisters."

Shi Xuan looked at the two Junior Sisters before him and finally felt a sense that a lifetime had passed. He had been away for ten years, and Master already had daughters.

Chu Feng said to the two little girls: "Daddy has something to say to your Little Senior Brother. You two go find Mother to play."

"Mn."

The two little girls nodded obediently. They were used to seeing this kind of scene.

"Sit."

After his two daughters left, Chu Feng pointed to a stone chair nearby.

"Thank you, Master."

Shi Xuan walked forward, poured a cup of tea for Master, and then sat down.

"Path Union Realm, two types of True Intent at Great Perfection. It seems your trip to the Land of Slaughter was the right choice."

Chu Feng finished speaking and took a sip of tea.

Shi Xuan nodded slightly: "Master is absolutely right. If not for the Land of Slaughter, this disciple would hardly have achieved such improvement in such a short time. However..."

Seeing this little fellow looking like he wanted to speak but stopped, Chu Feng smiled and said: "You kid, we haven't seen each other for ten years, yet you are treating this Seat like a stranger. If there is anything you don't understand, feel free to ask this Master."

"In reply to Master, this disciple's True Intent is clearly already at Great Perfection, and there is a feeling it is about to overflow. Yet, I cannot comprehend the Great Dao Truth for a long time."

After Shi Xuan finished speaking, he looked at Master respectfully, wanting to get an answer.
