Chapter 42 Returning to the Family
After Li Shuling received Zhao Xiuxuan's communication talisman, she quickly closed the storefront of Qinghefang, and ordered the puppet in the store to bring three middle-stage Qi-refinement clansmen of the character repair generation to rush here. It has been a while since the fighting has ended.

"Xiuxuan, is there any injury?"

As soon as they met, Li Shuling looked at Zhao Xiuxuan with concern. Today is different from the past. The reason why Qinghefang's business can revive today is entirely due to Zhao Xiuxuan's puppetry. This is also an important reason why Li Shuling rushed to support.

Seeing his aunt's anxious face, Zhao Xiuxuan felt slightly apologetic.

Hastily cupped his hands and bowed to several people
"Please trouble my aunt and fellow clan brothers. The thief has already been killed, and one escaped. This is not a place to talk. Let's leave first."

"Okay", Li Shuling didn't say much, and she sacrificed a small tripod with blue light, and it turned on the head, casting a radiance, covering everyone inside.

"This is my magic weapon, the light-shielding cauldron, which can cover up the breath. Let's find another place to talk."

Xiao Huaiqing and his daughter, who were recovering from meditation in the carriage, knew that reinforcements were coming outside, coughed twice and said

"It's time for a fellow Taoist"

Only then did Li Shuling know that there was someone in the carriage, and when she opened it, she was actually an acquaintance
"Xiao Huaiqing!"

Xiao Huaiqing, who was still pale, was stunned.

"Li Shuling"

The familiar appearance of the two surprised Zhao Xiuxuan
"Auntie, so you know each other"

"It turned out to be you, Xiuxuan. The person who taught you alchemy must be friend Xiao Huaiqing." Li Shuling suddenly realized.

"Friend Daoist Xiao and I naturally know each other. Every year, some pills in the clan are purchased through Fellow Daoist Xiao. We have a lot of friendship."

"En", Zhao Xiuxuan nodded, as an answer to his last question. At this moment, he also remembered that Xiao Huaiqing once said that the family's procurement would be fixed at his booth to customize some pills.

He looked at Xiao Huaiqing thoughtfully, Xiao Huaiqing met his gaze and knew what he was going to say, so he nodded.

With Xiao Huaiqing's approval, Zhao Xiuxuan told Li Shuling that Xiao Huaiqing was actually his uncle.

Li Shuling was surprised

"It turns out that they are a family"

Xiao Huaiqing actually had very complicated thoughts about the Zhao family. When Zhao Dushu was alive, there were many contacts between the two families. Xiao Huaiqing also accompanied Zhao Dushu to retreat and practice in Chishan for several years. After the Huang Yaozong collapsed, he only cared about his own. In order to save face, he did not return to his wife's family. In the end, his wife and children were lonely with him for many years, and finally died in a foreign land.

He has always felt guilty in his heart, and it is this guilt that makes him and the Zhao family go farther and farther.

But after getting along with Zhao Xiuxuan for this period of time, he has already thought about it.

At this time, he was not twitchy, but said to Li Shuling apologetically

"Xiao is ashamed. I haven't been able to bring this matter up to you. I really don't know how to speak up."

Seeing his strange expression and Zhao Xiuxuan's frequent winks, Li Shuling didn't know that Xiao Huaiqing was in a dilemma, so she suppressed her curiosity and said with a happy expression
"Fellow Daoist Xiao, don't do this. Since we are a family, we can understand any difficulties. This must be my niece."

"Lolo, this is your thirteenth aunt"

Xiao Luoluo hurriedly bowed to her

"aunt"

Li Shuling quickly responded, took her hand and chatted about some household matters. There was a chat between two women, and the slightly awkward atmosphere immediately became active.

The carriage creaked and stopped in a valley, which was some distance away from the fighting place.

If there are thieves who go and come back, they will not be able to find this place.

Everyone was relieved.

Inside the carriage

"Xiao Daoyou", Li Shuling couldn't think of what to call Xiao Huaiqing for a while, so she still called Xiao Daoyou.

"Then it's settled. I'll let my nephew protect you and go back to Chishan first. It's only two or three days' journey from here to Chishan."

Xiao Huaiqing had just escaped from the enemy attack, he didn't want his daughter to be homeless with him, so he was enlightened by Li Shuling, hesitated for a while, and agreed
"In that case, let's go to Chishan. This time, when we return to the mountain, we must kneel down in front of Master Taishan's spiritual tablet for nine days and nine nights, begging for forgiveness."

Seeing that his aunt persuaded Xiao Huaiqing to return to the family in a few words, Zhao Xiuxuan felt a little admired.

They took a rest in the valley and decided that Zhao Xiuxuan would personally send Xiao Huaiqing and Xiao Luoluo to the Hui family. Li Shuling left first because she still had something to do in the store.

Zhao Xiuxuan released the Wind Eagle puppet and checked the surroundings from a safe angle. After finding nothing unusual, he took the initiative to drive the carriage. The journey was safe and sound. After three days of staggering, he finally returned to Chishan.

The Zhao family, who had already received the news, did not make a big fuss, and it was not appropriate.

Xiao Huaiqing took Xiao Luoluo to stand at the foot of the mountain, looking at the majestic high mountain, the clouds and mist were steaming, silently lost in thought, not knowing what he was thinking.

After walking a few steps, he bumped into Elder Du Xian who came to greet him.

"Hahaha, Huaiqing, Huaiqing, I've finally waited for you, hurry up, follow me up the mountain, all the clan elders have been waiting in the ancestral hall for a long time."

Xiao Huaiqing was already filled with emotions, hearing this, recalling the past when his wife Zhao Dushu accompanied him to visit the elders of various clans in Chishan when he was alive, the corners of his eyes turned red and his throat felt a little itchy.

He hastily wiped away the teardrops from the corners of his eyes while bowing his hands in salute.

"Trouble to welcome you, brother, Huaiqing will go up the mountain to meet your uncles."

Talking and laughing, the two went up hand in hand, Xiao Luoluo and Zhao Xiuxuan followed behind.

The highest Xuanwu Peak in Chishan is more than [-] feet high. Ordinary people may not be able to climb up after several days and nights. Several of them are practitioners with extraordinary foot strength. After more than an hour, they reached the ancestral hall of Xuanwu Peak. in front of the door.

"Huaiqing, go in quickly, the clan elders are waiting in the outer hall." Zhao Duxian saw that Xiao Huaiqing was a little timid, and repeatedly comforted him.
I never thought that Xiao Huaiqing had already been emotionally involved when he came to the mountain on the way. He remembered how much Zhao Linglou, the master of Mount Tai, took care of him, but he didn't even come to condolences at Mount Tai, so he felt guilty for a long time. Love, can't help but feel sad.

"Huaiqing is guilty, ashamed to Master Taishan, ashamed to all uncles!"

As he said that, he knelt down in front of the ancestral hall with a plop, and couldn't get up for a long time. Xiao Luoluo was affected by his emotions, and knelt down with his father.

"Get up quickly, Huaiqing, why bother?"

Zhao Duxian wanted to pull him up, but Xiao Huaiqing stopped him.

"Oh, the past is over, Huaiqing, come in now, don't you want us old men to come out to meet you?"

The voice of patriarch Zhao Lingting came from the ancestral hall.

Xiao Huaiqing just got up

"Huaiqing doesn't dare, so come in and see the uncles."

In the secular world, clans have rules, women have low status, and son-in-law can't enter and leave the ancestral hall, but in the world of cultivating immortals, female cultivators can enter and leave, so can son-in-law, but Xiao Luoluo is a bit inappropriate.

Xiao Huaiqing cleaned up his appearance and said to Xiao Luoluo
"Lolo, you wait here, go in for your father to pay respects to your grandfathers"

Xiao Luoluo nodded.

Only then did Xiao Huaiqing follow Zhao Duxian into the ancestral hall side by side.

After more than an hour, several elders of the Lingzi clan who seldom meet each other came out of the ancestral hall one after another. Xiao Huaiqing followed behind and introduced Xiao Luoluo one by one.

"Lolo, this is your great grandfather, this is your third grandfather."

Xiao Luoluo dangled dizzily among several gray-bearded and white-haired elders like a marionette, and after a while, dozens of spirit stones appeared in the storage bag.

After the dust settled, Xiao Huaiqing returned to Chishan as his son-in-law. The elders arranged their father and daughter in Lingcheng Peak, not far from Zhao Xiuxuan's cave.

But no matter internally or externally, the Zhao family did not announce this matter. For a long period of time, the young people only knew that there was a father and daughter living in Chishan, but they didn't know their identities.

It is only said that that night, Zhao Lingting summoned Zhao Xiuxuan in the ancestral hall, tested his practice, and inquired about his instability. Stay in Qinghefang for a while.

Hearing that Zhao Xiuxuan also had insights in alchemy, the patriarch showed surprise, and after calling Xiao Huaiqing to inquire about it, Xiao Huaiqing naturally praised Zhao Xiuxuan, saying that his alchemy skills are advancing rapidly, as if there is a divine help.

Only then did Zhao Lingting turn surprise into joy

"Okay, okay, Xiuxuan, I didn't expect you to not only cultivate super fast, but also have outstanding talent in cultivating immortals. It seems that the sky is endless, my Zhao family. If this is the case, you don't have to be in Qinghefang. Today, With your uncle's family and you, our family can also try a little bit in alchemy. As for the spirit grass and pills, I will arrange people to buy them."

There was nothing wrong with Zhao Lingting's arrangement this time, but Zhao Xiuxuan had paid several months' rent in Qinghefang, and he still had a bunch of pills to sell in Qinghefang, so he could only find a reason.

"Patriarch, it will take some time for my uncle to settle down. If you want to make alchemy, there must be a lot of preparations in the clan. It won't be a day's work. My grandson still has some things to deal with in Qinghefang. Family alchemy"

Zhao Lingting thought about it for a while, and felt that he was indeed acting too hastily, probably because of the ups and downs in the clan recently, with one wave of ups and downs and another wave of ups and downs.

"Forget it, Xiuxuan, you are right, then you should pay attention when you are outside."

Zhao Xiuxuan bowed his hands and said yes
The next day, Zhao Xiuxuan set off to leave the mountain.
