Just as Zhang Tianyou said, after Xue An and his group crossed the moon, they encountered layer upon layer of identity checks.
But Zhang Tianyou’s technology was indeed excellent, and everyone’s new identities didn’t show any flaws, allowing them to pass these checks smoothly and reach Earth.
Looking at the long-lost blue planet before them, Xue An’s gaze gradually grew solemn.
At this moment, the laziness usually seen in Huyue was gone, and he sighed lightly.
"To be honest, every time I see Earth, I feel incredibly shocked because this blue planet is so fragile and small in the vast universe, almost to the point of insignificance."
"Yet it’s this tiny planet that has nurtured a great civilization like the Hua Clan and supreme powers like you, which is nothing short of a miracle."
Xue An lowered his eyes, "That’s why I won’t allow anyone to harm it, because it’s not just my hometown, but the root of countless Hua Clan people."
When he said this, Xue An’s expression was very calm, even his tone lacked any trace of fluctuation.
But Huyue knew that this state of Xue An was the scariest.
Because he was clearly not making a declaration, but stating a predetermined, unalterable fact.
The group then flew toward Earth, appearing in the blink of an eye over a certain city in the northern region of Hua country.
This city’s geographical location was very strategic, with a mighty river flowing from the south of the city, creating an extremely prosperous metropolis.
Huyue wasn’t surprised at all that Xue An’s first stop would be here, because this was his true hometown and his home base.
That’s right, Beijiang.
However, this city, which carried countless memories for Xue An, was now unrecognizable.
Xue An stood high in the sky, his awareness silently covering the entire city, only to find all traces related to him had vanished.
The neighborhood where he once rented with An Yan still existed, but the rooms inside were not his at all.
The Number One Tian Villa was also there, but the arrangement inside was vastly different from when he left.
The key problem was that Tang Xuan’er and Fan Mengxue, among others, had also vanished, as if they had never existed in this world.
Huyue naturally knew what Xue An was doing and couldn’t help but sigh lightly.
"I wasn’t lying to you, in fact, when I went to Sky Beyond the Skies to find you, I had already traveled the entire world and discovered that not only you, but even Meng Xue and Xuan’Er left no traces of their existence. That guy’s actions were truly ruthless."
But Xue An paid no attention to him, instead, he seemed to have found something and flew straight in a certain direction of Beijiang.
"Hey, wait for me!" Huyue hurried to follow.
Fei Bai and his sister Si Qingqing exchanged a glance, then promptly followed suit.
Quickly, the group flew to the outskirts of Beijiang, whereupon Xue An landed directly, looking ahead with a plex expression.
Huyue traced his gaze and saw in the distance a restaurant was operating on the street.
Though it was called a restaurant, its actual size was small, occupying only two modest storefronts, and the somewhat greasy sign bore four large characters.
Old Xie’s Restaurant.
Seeing these four characters, Huyue shuddered slightly, then suddenly realized and tapped his head.
"Confused, truly confused, why didn’t I think to look here back then?"
The matter of Old Xie and the chubby aunt has been mentioned before, so I won’t dwell on it here.
At the very least, Huyue knew this ordinary couple had shown kindness to Xue An, and later Xue An repaid their kindness by helping them in many ways, even using near-miraculous means to revive Old Xie after his soul was shattered in a disaster.
So every time Xue An returned to Beijiang, his first stop was sure to be Old Xie’s Restaurant, which gradually became a place where winds and clouds converged.
Not to mention anything else, during the previous calamity of malicious entities invading, including Huyue, five Immortal Kings guarded Earth, and their most frequent haunt was this modest little restaurant.
All of this gave this unremarkable Old Xie’s Restaurant a legendary aura.
At least before this shocking change, in the unaltered timeline of the world, Old Xie’s Restaurant had already bee one of Beijiang’s most famous tourist attractions.
Every young person ing to the Red Lotus Immortal Sect for pilgrimage would e here to visit and admire.
But in this forcibly altered timeline of the world, none of that ever happened.
There was no young Xue An who fell from grace, nor were there tales of his return four years later.
In this world’s Old Xie’s Restaurant, it was just an ordinary small restaurant.
Yet at this moment, Xue An’s expression was very plex, and after observing the front for a long time, he finally stepped inside the restaurant.
Like all small restaurants built on the outskirts of cities, the hygiene here was certainly not up to standard.
The white ceramic tiles on the floor no longer showed their original color, and stepping on them felt slightly sticky.
The air still carried the smell of cooking oil smoke, as it wasn’t meal time, the place seemed a bit deserted, with only the TV above the wine rack playing monotonous news.
Though he had cultivated for thousands of years, his Dao heart had long been as firm as a rock, but upon seeing Old Xie’s Restaurant’s setup, Xue An felt slightly excited.
Because the entire setup was exactly like it was when he first came here.
As if all these years of time changes hadn’t happened, he became once again that foolish youngster relying on An Yan for survival.
At this moment, the chubby aunt working in the kitchen inside heard the motion and came out, then froze.
"Who... who are you looking for?" the chubby aunt asked, somewhat stunned.
To her, it seemed impossible that these people were here to eat.
Because these people’s attire and aura didn’t suggest they were ordinary.
Especially the leading young man in white, whose noble air and handsome face attested to his exceptionalism.
Such a person would typically only be seen on TV, and today, by some chance, he came to her unassuming little restaurant.
So the chubby aunt’s first thought was whether they had other business here?
And after hearing her words, Xue An couldn’t help but smile slightly, "We’re not looking for anyone, we’re just here to eat!"
"Eat... eat?"
"Hmm? Isn’t this a restaurant?" Xue An said with a smile.
"Ah... yes, yes! Wele, please have a seat!"
Stunned, the chubby aunt invited Xue An and his group to sit down, then particularly used a towel to wipe the table.
