"How about the others?"
Chen Yuan put down the teacup, lifted his eyelids, his brow gentle, "And you, how have you been lately?"
Lian Nichang held the cup pushed over by Chen Yuan with both hands, gently rubbing the warm belly of the cup, she spoke softly,
"Military Officer Qin Hu broke through the Heavenly Pass last autumn, he often sends letters, ntioning his elder brother in them."
"Colonel Xiang from the Prefecture has been busy these years rebuilding the county areas destroyed by the Demon Cult disaster. Because those from the south have been fleeing the disasters these past years, many have brought their families, slowly forming a community."
"Miss Fang, alone and unwilling to return ho, later joined the Prefecture on my recomndation to beco a Mountain Patrol Military Officer, just next door in Dongshan County to the northwest. We often et, so we have company."
"As for myself, after I participated in the operation to bring back my elder brother last year, I returned to Qingshan. Thanks to my brother’s blessing, Qingshan County has hardly experienced any demon disasters these years. It’s beco more lively, making Ni Chang a tranquil idle person."
Lian Nichang smiled, said sothing playful; this woman, accustod to being decisive, is usually like the sword she practices, only in front of Chen Yuan does she slightly reveal so emotions.
Listening to all this, Chen Yuan felt so nostalgia, it’s good that things are peaceful.
As for the Miss Fang ntioned becoming a Mountain Patrol Military Officer, it surprised him.
It referred to Fang Qingzhu, last year when his Fang Family Ancestor brought the direct lineage looking for that ship, they were caught in a struggle with the Chengsheng Land Human Demon, sucked into the Ten Thousand Mountains.
The Fang Family Ancestor had ill intentions, set a trap himself, and there have been no news of them since, presumably they died there.
As for Fang Qingzhu, she was not valued by the Fang Family, and at that ti she took a stand herself.
"It’s good, safety is a blessing, the outside world is too chaotic, at least you can find so peace."
Lian Nichang noticed this, her expression shifted, she had questions but hesitated to speak.
Chen Yuan saw his deanor, raised a brow, half smiling, "You seem to have sothing you want to ask, go ahead, just ask."
Lian Nichang naturally didn’t hold back, "Older brother has returned this ti to see sister-in-law and Little An’an, when are you leaving?"
"Ni Chang heard sothing significant happened in the south, related to the Heavenly People matter. I’ve also heard of brother’s unparalleled deeds, but Ni Chang is insignificant, can’t help brother much, just wants to ask if brother is unhard?"
While speaking, Lian Nichang’s grip on the teacup tightened, her voice grew increasingly quiet, lacking confidence.
Brother ascended to Martial Saint, defying Heavenly People, shaking the world; people only marvel at his heroic spirit, few care about the extent of his injuries.
Surely the injuries were severe.
But she truly lacks the capability.
"Fighting those fellows naturally resulted in so injuries, but it’s not serious. If it were, I wouldn’t show myself, giving others an opportunity to take advantage."
Chen Yuan spoke calmly, unintentionally reassuring.
"Moreover."
"As your elder brother, I have now resigned and returned to the holand!"
"Let the Court worry about the matters afterwards!"
Lian Nichang was surprised at first, her almond eyes slightly widened, but quickly they changed to a hint of joy, nodding in agreent,
"Older brother has endured hardship for years, together with the Court’s injustice, he indeed deserves a good rest."
"No wonder brother feels changed, the past few etings, he seed increasingly dignified, spoke less, making people distant. Now he feels much more relaxed, resembling his forr self."
Lian Nichang’s tone also lightened.
Chen Yuan couldn’t help but laugh, "So, you’re making a narrative about your brother."
"How dare I! Then Ni Chang won’t disturb brother and sister-in-law’s rest."
Lian Nichang smiled softly, planning to bid farewell and leave.
Chen Yuan, however, was unhurried,
"What’s the rush, lunch is approaching, why don’t you invite the Dragon Girl over, and get Old Wu too, let’s have a al together."
"Your brother will personally cook!"
Lian Nichang hadn’t actually tasted Chen Yuan’s cooking, she naturally didn’t want to dampen her brother’s enthusiasm,
"Alright, then I’ll invite the Dragon Girl Senior and the elder."
With that, she leapt away.
Just as before, she carried herself swiftly and vigorously.
Soon after, the Northern Sea Dragon Girl and Old Wu were invited to the small courtyard.
Old Wu grinningly helped by the stove, lighting fires;
The usually icy Dragon Girl, seeing Chen Yuan in an apron busying himself in the kitchen, was a bit surprised, then watched with interest.
It’s nothing special watching an ordinary person cooking, but watching a contemporary Martial Saint, it beca interesting.
Soon after, the dishes were served one after another, taking seat in the central room.
The little one woke after a nap, cooing for her mother, An Ge held her, erging from the inner room.
Surprisingly, Little An’an seed to like the Dragon Girl, reaching out for a cuddle.
And the Dragon Girl skillfully held the little girl, her always icy deanor revealing a touch of warmth.
Chen Yuan was sowhat surprised!
Hey, the little one is quite likable.
Just like that, with Little An’an this adorable one, the group in the small courtyard enjoyed a peaceful al.
After the al, Chen Yuan and the Northern Sea Dragon Girl went for a "walk", arriving at a hill outside Qingshan County, from here they could overlook Qingshan County’s newly expanded wharf.
Qingshan County had absorbed many outsiders in recent days, gradually extending seven or eight miles, forming an outer city.
On the Nu River, the wharf was bustling, people coming and going, a scene of prosperity.
"During these tis, thanks to the Dragon Girl, for taking care of my wife and daughter for Chen in this remote place."
"This is the Yin Mountain Holy Leaf."
"Though the Jiao Long Pill allows you to ascend the Dragon and Tiger once again, in my view, your wounds are not fully healed."
