"Let's go back to the inn and discuss this first. " Ling Chuxi said.
Her original idea was to stay at the Yue family for a few days after the experience in the illusory Valley, to give Yue Kaili so pointers on alchemy, and also to teach du Xiaofan so basic cultivation techniques, but she didn't expect the Yue family to suffer such a misfortune.
Although the Xue clan had seized the Yue clan's business, it had only been a few decades. They were short of manpower and lacked a solid foundation. With Xue Xiaoqing's death, the servants in the clan had fled and scattered. The so-called Xue clan had also fallen apart, and the city Lord's mansion had beco a ruin.
Even if Yue Kai Li was able to take back the Yue clan's property, he would not have a place to stay for a while.
Ling Chuxi thought for a mont. If it really did not work, she could only bring them back to the ethereal sect residence. However, she had only been out for a short while, and she didn't want to go back so early. The best way to improve one's strength was through experience.
As soon as they walked out of the city Lord's mansion, they saw many famous people in the city gathered in the distance. They were carefully looking in their direction and discussing in low voices.
The commotion just now was too big, and everyone in the city knew that sothing big had happened in the city Lord's mansion. But even though the Xue family had been tyrannical in Qingyuan City for so many years, no one had dared to co to see what was going on. So timid people had even packed up and escaped from the city. It was not until the storm gradually died down and there was no more movent that they quietly ca to see what was going on.
Ling Chuxi did not pay any attention to these people and walked towards the inn.
"Young master Yue, please be more polite to young master Yue." An old and trembling voice suddenly rang out from the crowd. An old man with white hair and a white beard pointed at Yue Kaili with a look of shock and disbelief.
A few young people supported him, afraid that he would faint from excitent. The others also surrounded him. It was obvious that this old man had a high reputation in Qingyuan City.
Yue Kaili stopped in his tracks and looked at the old man in confusion. He had not returned to Qingyuan City for decades, so he could not recall who this old man was.
"You're really too polite to young master Yue. " The old man's face was filled with excitent. He pushed the people beside him aside and walked over shakily.
"I'm Yue Kaili. Does old man recognize ?" Yue Kaili looked at the old man in surprise. He was still a child when he escaped from Qingyuan City. This old man had good eyesight, to be able to recognize him after so many years.
"It's indeed a ceremony. Good, good. The Yue family's descendants have indeed survived. Old master Yue, you can rest in peace now." The old man grabbed Yue Kaili's hand and said with great excitent. After a long while, she rembered Yue Kaili's question and said,"when your grandfather was alive, he looked exactly like you. They really were cast from the sa mold."
"Is old man's surna cui?" Yue Kaili carefully examined the old man and asked with uncertainty. Although he was not young anymore, the old man in front of him had a face full of wrinkles and white hair. He was at least 140 or 150 years old, so it was not an exaggeration to call him old master.
"Not bad, not bad. You still rember ." The old man laughed happily like a child and said,"I am cui zhengyuan, a good friend of your grandfather. Speaking of which, I was the one who gave you this na. Not only you, but even the nas of your cousins were given by , hahahaha."
"Junior Yue Kai greets Mr. Cui." Hearing the old man talk about the past, Yue Kaili couldn't help but think of the Yue clan's forr prosperity, the Grand scene of four generations in the sa Hall. He sighed in his heart, and his eyes beca a little wet.
