Chapter Eighty-One: Return to Family

  Just as he was about to return to the Cang Mansion, he heard a familiar voice outside. He also overheard the conversation with the captain of the guard. Cang Jun thought that he could recognize the voices of all his brothers and sisters in the Cang family, big or small, but the disciple outside, although very familiar, couldn't think of who it was, so he asked aloud.

  It was just one glance, but it left him standing there in stunned silence.

  No wonder it sounds familiar! This face, this voice has been haunting me for almost half a year, how can I not be familiar with it!

  However, it was clear that his younger cousin opposite him had no intention of retaliating. His expression remained unchanged, and the last sentence "older brother" almost made him cry out loud.

  It seems that my younger male cousin doesn't hold a grudge against me after all!

  "Come, Ye... younger male cousin, come aboard. Why didn't you notify the family when you came back? After what happened last time, the family specially arranged for an elder to be stationed in Wuyucheng. It's precisely because we're afraid of problems arising!"

  Since Cang Ye didn't seem to blame him, Cang Jun naturally had to use every means possible to curry favor with this talented younger cousin.

  Cang Ye was taken aback for a moment. He opened his mouth and asked

  "What's wrong?"

  When he heard Cang Ye's question, Cang Jun also paused for a moment. After thinking about it, he finally understood that it seemed Cang Ye didn't know after all.

  After organizing his words for a moment, Cang Jun finally spoke up and said

  "The last time the three great masters ambushed you, it has spread. And the place where you were ambushed was not even on the normal route of return for our family. Because of this matter, the Great Elder was furious and ordered a thorough investigation, and Qingxia Sect also directly intervened. It didn't take long to find out the reason. It was that person in charge of reception who wasn't actually from Qingxia. He was just replaced by a strong man from Modao later on. That's why such a situation occurred."

  "Oh, so that's how it is. Actually, it's no wonder, the strong ones of the Demon Sect can easily plant someone in a family."

  "Alas, after all, it's still the family's strength that's not up to par. However, my cousin, you've really made a big splash this time! At the age of 15, you've killed three great masters, and they're from the Demon Sect, which is an ultra-strong sect far surpassing others at the same level. Tsk tsk, if it weren't for the testimony of countless people, I wouldn't have dared to believe it!"

  When Cang Jun mentioned this matter again, Cang Ye smiled slightly. This month, he was almost annoyed to death by this matter. To be honest, it's not as good as when people looked down on him in the past, at least that time people wouldn't pester him every day.

  "Alright, let's go back, Big Brother!" Actually, towards this Cang Jun, Cang Ye didn't have any resentment left. In his heart, the only ones worth getting angry at were those equally strong opponents. As for those who would nitpick over childhood matters and wait until they had enough power to go back and show off, humiliating their opponents, he wouldn't stoop to doing such things. Besides, it was all just childish stuff from a long time ago. What's past is past. Giving others an opportunity was also giving himself an opportunity, wasn't it?

  Thus, Cang Ye sat on Cang Jun's carriage, heading towards the Cang Mansion along the way.

  The people of the Cang family disappeared from view. The captain of the guard dared to straighten his waist.

  Wiped a handful of cold sweat from his head, feeling it for a moment, only to discover that his back was also thoroughly soaked.

  "My goodness! This is the legendary peerless expert! Fortunately, they didn't hold a grudge, or else this time it wouldn't have been just a simple death!"

  There is a big brother in the Ministry of War, who naturally knows many things that others do not know. Some time ago, he also heard his big brother mention that a shocking war had taken place on the outskirts of the Imperial Capital. The process and outcome are unknown, but it is said that the plain was bombed into a huge lake of over 100,000 acres! And around the entire lake, not a single blade of grass grows, no signs of life at all.

  This is the absolute power of a super strongman! Such an existence on the battlefield would make any number of people useless!

  I just heard that Young Master Jun said that this Young Master was actually the creator of that shocking battle, and also the final winner! Moreover, he even killed three great masters!

  This is really amazing! It's beyond his imagination! How old was that young master at night, how could he have such terrifying strength? No wonder, in the entire Cang family, even the proud Jun Young Master would call him Young Master!

  Seeing the disappearance of the shadow of the Cang family, this guard captain felt it necessary to mention this matter to his elder brother. Although it is impossible to associate with such a talented person, but also pay attention not to offend him in the future!

  Thinking of this, he called out to several guards and hastily ran in one direction towards the inner city.

  When they arrived at the entrance of Cang Fu, Cang Ye discovered that many servants and elders had already come out in front of the gate.

  He was momentarily stunned, then recovered. He wasn't an idiot, so he naturally understood the great significance of his return to the Cang family. Come to think of it, when he got on the sedan chair earlier, someone should have come back to report the news already.

  "Greetings, elders and uncles." He slightly bowed his head, despite not liking the place. However, his parents were here, so he could ignore these worldly views, but his parents were different! Moreover, in Cang Ye's heart, he still leaned towards the soul of the ancient Huaxia country that originated from the land of etiquette.

  "Brother Ye is back!" The elderly people didn't say anything, they just stood there smiling. It was some younger cousins who responded to Cang Ye's greeting.

  With a slight turn of his mind, he understood. It wasn't that the elders were too proud to talk to him, but because his current identity was just too heavy! Plus the unpleasantness before, he really didn't know how to start the conversation.

  Those relatives, who knows if they didn't bully them before. So they also don't dare to speak up, afraid that at this late hour they'll remember. Therefore, after considering it, only these younger cousins are the most suitable ones to speak up.

  Cang Ye can ignore those so-called older cousins, but he cannot help but care about these younger cousins who are not yet ten years old.

  Maintaining a smiling face, they all returned to the hall together.

  "Huh? Second Elder. Where are my parents?"

  Everyone has gone inside, but there is still no sign of the parents. Cang Ye frowned slightly. There's no reason why they all knew about it, but the parents didn't know yet.

  "Oh, Yun Xian and the others don't know you're back today. They're probably still outside now, the person who was supposed to inform them should have arrived by now. Just wait for a bit, they'll be back soon."

  Hearing this explanation, Cang Ye nodded and sat down directly in the chair below.

  Actually, given his status and position, even if he were to take the lead, no one would say anything. However, Cang Ye wouldn't do that; at least, he wouldn't lose the proper etiquette.

  It had just been a moment, about the time it takes to drink a cup of tea, when two familiar figures hastily stepped inside from outside the door.

  Seeing Shangguan Xia's excited face, it seemed as if all her suffering had gone far away from herself.

  "Mother, I'm back."

  "It's great that you're back, it's great that you're back! Son, how come this breakthrough took so long? You've been gone for half a year, if Ling'er wasn't keeping us company, these days would have been really tough!"

  Listening to Shangguan Xia's tone, it seems that she doesn't know what happened two months ago. Her gaze shifted towards the Second Elder.

  Cang Mo rushed towards Cang Yun and his wife, the two of them exchanged a faint smile, but in reality, he was secretly transmitting a message to Cang Ye.

  He nodded almost imperceptibly at Cang Mo's words.

  This matter, as expected, did not let parents know. Not just parents, even Ling Er didn't know.

  The entire Cang and Yu families, all of the Qingxia Sect's disciples are hiding from the three.

  For the entire Flame Emperor's Empire, what was most important to Cang Ye were these three people. Therefore, both families naturally did not wish for anything untoward to happen to them before Cang Ye recovered.

  "Mother, it usually takes people several years to break through, but I only spent half a year's effort, which is already very fast!" Cang Ye stood beside Shangguan Xia and explained slightly.

  Actually, Cang Ye said that she also understood. Her own children can already rival the old ancestors, so these parents naturally need to understand a little more about the cultivation level of warriors.

  Only then did he realize how formidable his own child was! Let alone the number one prodigy of the Flame Empire, it's likely that even if he said that Cang Ye was the most outstanding talent in the entire Eastern Continent, no one would refute him!

  Children are the pride of their parents, and this statement is not wrong at all. Knowing that their child would be able to advance to Tianling Master at the age of fifteen, achieving a feat that no one before him had been able to accomplish, they felt even more proud. Therefore, even if he thought about Cangye again, he didn't send him any messages, only hoping that Cangye could break through as soon as possible.

  "Has the night broken through?" His father remained calm, even with such thoughts about his own child, he was still very composed.

  "Ah, I've already surpassed Father!"

  Cang Ye nodded heavily. A strand of heartfelt smile floated onto Cang Yun's face.

  "Yun Xian, nephew, come on in! Later, the old ancestor will also return, and we'll have a good gathering as a family to celebrate Ye's successful promotion to Tianling Strong!"

  Several people were still standing at the door, and the Second Elder spoke first.

  He glanced at his father and found no unusual color, indicating that his father still accepted the identity of Cang Jia's disciple. Cang Ye let out a helpless sigh, since the old people liked it, then so be it.

  He had long wanted to bring his parents to live in Qingxia City, where the spiritual energy was abundant and could increase their lifespan. With the care of the Qingxia Sect, they would also be able to live a better life.

  With his current status, I believe no one would bother to make a fuss over such a small matter. But looking at his parents now, it seems they have already considered the Cang family as their own.

  Thinking of this, Cang Ye couldn't help but smile wryly.

  This banquet was almost as dull as the night sky, and for a martial artist, it was indeed a bit boring. However, seeing his parents' joyful smiles, he still suppressed the urge to leave.

  In front of all the relatives, Cang Daoqiong once again solemnly introduced Cang Ye. This gesture also showed his current status in the Cang family!

  After eating, I returned to my room.

  Seeing others reunite with their loved ones, the people of the village also didn't go looking for trouble.
