"Alas, when exactly will Xue An, who suppressed the entire empire, return?" someone whispered in discussion.
"Return? Haha, I think whether he can come back at all is still in question!" another person sneered.
"Why do you say that?"
"Think about it, although he is very powerful, after all, he is just one person, and this time, he faces countless strong warriors!"
"I also doubt he can make it back!"
Many people shook their heads in secret, harboring little hope for Xue An’s return.
Just then.
Someone exclaimed, "Look quickly, what is that on the horizon?"
All eyes turned skyward.
Streaks of light appeared at the edge of the sky, then flew toward Jingdu.
"Could it be that someone has come back for revenge!" said someone, fearfully.
As these words came out.
Many were struck with fear.
At the same moment.
The streaks of light had already flown over Jingdu, and when they steadied, they were clearly diverse strong warriors.
There were dozens of them, and when they collectively appeared above Jingdu, the whole city trembled.
"This is it, the Immortal Masters must have sent people back for revenge!" someone cried out.
Meanwhile, within the Eastern Palace, the atmosphere was oppressively tense.
Yan Xi stood in the courtyard, her face somber as she looked up at the sky.
Someone at her side urged, "Your Highness, the outcome is uncertain; it would be best to avoid the situation for now, otherwise..."
"No need to say more, regardless of who the other party is, I shall wait here for the return of Master Xue!" Yan Xi replied quietly.
The one offering counsel was at a loss for words.
Just then.
An Yan, leading two little maids, also appeared in the front courtyard. Then the two little girls excitedly pointed at the sky and shouted, "It’s Daddy, Daddy’s back!"
Hearing them say this, Yan Xi was initially startled, then she heard a chuckle echoing from the sky.
"My dear daughters, Daddy is back!"
With that said, two streaks of light flew across the sky, and upon steadying their forms, who else could it be but Xue An?
Upon his return.
Jingdu first fell silent, then a low rumble of voices followed.
"Look, I told you Master Xue would return safely! What do you have to say now?" someone said triumphantly.
As for those who previously mocked and sneered, seeing Xue An return, they were all terrified and pale, secretly hiding within the crowd, not daring to speak another word.
Then Xue An led the group to land within the Eastern Palace.
Yan Xi was overjoyed, and she was the first to rush forward to greet him.
"Master..."
Xue An waved his hand, "It’s alright, no need for such formalities!"
"Yes!" Yan Xi responded, but her gaze brushed past the eleven or twelve-year-old girl beside Xue An.
Though it was merely a fleeting glance.
Yet the girl’s unparalleled beauty still stunned Yan Xi.
How had Master Xue brought back such a stunning beauty after being away?
While Yan Xi was inwardly puzzled, she dared not show the slightest sign on her face.
At this moment, An Yan led Xiang Xiang and Nian Nian forward.
Xue An smiled faintly at An Yan, "Yan’er, I’m back!"
An Yan nodded, her attention, however, was entirely captured by the girl beside her, Hu Ying.
In fact, it was as if An Yan could not help but be aware of her.
For from the moment they entered the Eastern Palace,
Hu Ying had been scrutinizing An Yan with an almost critical gaze.
Even without an introduction.
Instinctively, Hu Ying guessed that this woman must be the sister-in-law Brother Xue had mentioned.
