Chapter 668: The Warmth of Returning Home

“It turns out that Miss has returned. Oh, please enter, please enter!” The two guards invited Ling Chuxi in with a bitter smile. They had long since heard of the great Ling Chuxi, but they never thought that the two Ling family disciples would be so excited upon seeing her that they would directly rush in to report her arrival with loud yells, actually forgetting to even invite her in.

“The two of you have suffered much,” said Ling Chuxi said to the two guards courteously. She could tell that the both of them had the cultivation of Battle Qi Level 8. In the past, if the Ling family had met with these kinds of experts, they would have fawned over them. Yet now, they had invited them over to be their guards. It could be deduced that the current state of wealth of the Ling family was so great and thick to such an extent.

Seeing the old courtyard of the Ling family having been fully expanded a couple of times over since the last time she was here, Ling Chuxi could not help but feel a touch of pride.

“Has Little Chuxi really returned? You all did not get the wrong person?” Ling Yuanhong had yet to come out when the explosive and temperamental fifth elder rushed out of the gates first.

“Little Chuxi! It really is you! You really have returned,” Seeing Ling Chuxi standing before him, the fifth elder was so surprised and delighted that he almost did not dare to believe it. He took a step forward and tightly held onto Ling Chuxi’s hand, unable to say a single word.

“Yes, Fifth Elder, I have returned,” said Ling Chuxi, feeling the concern of the fifth elder that came from his inner heart. She felt her heart warm, and her eyes moisten. At this moment, she felt more deeply than ever the warmth of a family than she did at any other time.

Sounds of footsteps echoed from within the courtyard and the second and first elders, Su Yizhi, Su Yizhen and the rest also came over hurriedly to welcome Ling Chuxi home. Seeing her, they were all delighted till hot tears brimmed in their eyes.

“Chuxi, I knew that you would be fine and would definitely be able to return. The heavens have eyes indeed. You have really returned,” said the second elder as he also held onto Ling Chuxi’s hand tightly, so happy that tears were streaming down his aged face.

“Second Elder, am I not well now? You don’t have to be so worried,” said Ling Chuxi. Upon seeing their reactions, she guessed that they had more likely than not heard about some of the matters that had happened to her. Otherwise, they would not have been so agitated upon seeing her.

“Yes, yes, yes. Our Chuxi is well. We should be happy. Let’s go in first before talking more. Chuxi has also suffered much along the way and should rest for a bit first. Aunt Wang, please prepare Chuxi’s favorite snacks for her.” Only then did the second elder wipe away his tears and the group of them escorted Ling Chuxi into the courtyard.

“Chuxi, where have you been all this time? We heard Mister Mo say that something had happened to you and that he was incredibly worried about you, so he sent out people to ask around about you regularly,” said Second Elder the moment they sat down, eager to ask about Ling Chuxi’s latest condition.

Hearing the second elder’s tone, it was obvious that they did not know much about what happened at Little Silver Ancient Mountain. They had just heard that Ling Chuxi had encountered an accident and that whether she was alive or dead was unclear.

Therefore, Ling Chuxi only told them about Chu Fengyun’s sinister scheme and that it was difficult for her to escape from within the array barrier she had been caught in. After that, she was lucky enough to escape alive with the aid of an expert. The rest of what happened regarding the monster beasts, the Cang Yuan sword spirit and Huangfu Qingjue, were all secrets hidden in the depths of her heart. She was fearful that knowledge about such things would bring about destruction to the Ling family should they know about them.

“Truly, the heavens help a good person. Chuxi, in the future you cannot go and take these kinds of risks anymore. You should think through three times before taking action in everything you do,” said the second elder. After hearing Ling Chuxi describe everything, he was extremely touched and couldn’t help but to sigh in relief. Although Ling Chuxi had described things were simply, they could still imagine that the dangers of exiting the array could not have been slight. If even Mo Kongyuan was so severely injured by it after he had managed to escape with such great difficulty, how could it possibly not be difficult for Ling Chuxi to escape something so powerful?

“I know, Second Elder. In the future, I will be careful,” said Ling Chuxi with a nod.

“That’s right, Second Elder, where is Yichen? Why don’t I see him?” It was only at this moment that Ling Chuxi realized that she had not seen Ling Yichen’s amongst the group of Ling family members. Logically speaking, he should be staying with the Ling family in these kinds of times.

“Yichen did come back once, however, we asked him to return to the capital. Now that the emperor has passed away, the capital is in a state of great chaos. The various royals all hold all kinds of hidden intentions and the court ministers are all experiencing various dangers. With him there, things would be a little better,” said the second elder.
