Chapter 1135 - 704: Crying Out in Aggrieved Sorrow, Reunion and Reminiscing

Looking at the young girl in white holding the treasure sword, with a look of unbelief on her face.

Lu Qing’s heart and spirit were in a trance for a moment.

Vaguely, it seemed like he saw the little girl from years ago, just waking up in this world, holding a gray bun with a look of surprise.

From the sharp and chilly aura emanating from Little Yan, Lu Qing knew that she must have been through a lot during the years he was away.

A trace of heartache flashed in his eyes, as he slowly descended to the Holy Mountain, arriving in front of the young girl in white.

Little Yan was still staring blankly at Lu Qing, seemingly still unable to believe what she was seeing.

She didn’t dare to blink an eye, fearing that everything in sight was merely a dream that would shatter with a blink.

It was only after a while that Little Yan saw Lu Qing hadn’t disappeared and was still smiling at her.

She came to realize, this might not be a dream.

Only then did she tremble and ask in a shaky voice, "Is it brother?"

"It’s me." Lu Qing reached out and ruffled Little Yan’s head, "I’m back, Little Yan."

Feeling the warmth in Lu Qing’s palm, and his gentle tone, Little Yan finally believed, that brother had truly returned.

Suddenly, her nose turned sour, and the treasure sword she always carried fell to the ground, as she threw herself into Lu Qing’s embrace, crying loudly.

"I’m sorry, brother returned late, couldn’t come back at the time promised, made you worry."

Lu Qing’s eyes were filled with heartache, gently stroking Little Yan’s hair, softly comforting her.

Yet Little Yan’s sobs didn’t cease at all, instead, she cried even louder, tears soaking Lu Qing’s lapels.

As though she was venting all the grievances bottled in her heart over the years.

Han Lingshuang and the Second and Third Saints quietly watched, not coming forward to disturb.

For they all knew, over the years, how much Little Yan missed Lu Qing.

"Little Yan..."

On the Void Flying Boat, Little Li pasted his face to the edge, watching below.

"Little Li, didn’t you say you missed Miss Little Yan a lot? Why not go down." the White Flood Dragon asked softly.

"Wait a bit, the one Little Yan misses the most is surely Ah Qing, I’ll go down later."

Little Li naturally sensed the change in Little Yan’s demeanor.

Therefore, he didn’t rush down first like when they returned to Jiuli Village, but let the siblings reunite first.

On the peak of the Holy Mountain, Little Yan cried for a long time before gradually stopping.

"Feeling better? It’s brother’s fault, promised to return within fifty years at most, but took so long to come back." Lu Qing comforted in a soft voice.

"Brother, where did you all go these years?"

Little Yan’s head was still buried in Lu Qing’s embrace.

Just now she didn’t mind her grievances, but now after crying, she suddenly remembered others were watching, and felt embarrassed.

"We’ve been to many places over the years, can’t finish telling now, I’ll slowly tell you once we get home."

"Okay."

Little Yan responded softly, and then, as if remembering something, quickly asked:

"Brother, now that you’re back, where are Little Li and Five Elements, why haven’t I seen them?"

"They’re all inside the Flying Boat." Lu Qing replied with a smile.

At this moment, Little Li heard Little Yan mention him, immediately jumped out from the Void Flying Boat, transforming into a stream of light, arriving at the top of the Holy Mountain in an instant.

"Little Yan, Little Yan, I’m back!"

Saying this, he dashed towards Little Yan.

Little Yan was startled by the speed Little Li displayed.

Even with her current strength, she hadn’t sensed Little Li’s descent in advance.

She quickly rose from Lu Qing’s embrace, grabbing Little Li tightly.

Feeling the familiar sensation, Little Yan couldn’t help but laugh: "Little Li, you’ve become so formidable now."

"Of course, I’m very powerful now, Little Yan, let me tell you, Ah Qing and I went to many places..."

Little Li chirped on, telling Little Yan about what he and Ah Qing did after they left that year.

Meanwhile, Five Elements and the White Flood Dragon also came down from the Flying Boat, and Little Li began introducing his good friends.

Seeing the smile return to Little Yan’s face, Lu Qing finally relaxed.

He casually stored away the Void Flying Boat, looking towards the elderly man standing nearby, kindly watching him.

His expression turned solemn, quickly stepping forward to salute, "Greetings, Master, I’m back."

"Good to have you back, good to have you back."

The elder doctor nodded repeatedly, his face full of comfort.

"Master, how is your injury?"

Lu Qing sensed his master’s somewhat weak aura, and asked with concern.

"No problem, just need to rest for a day or two, but the First Holy Master’s injury might be more troublesome."

Previously, the elder doctor was struck by that monster’s palm, falling onto the Holy Mountain.

Though it looked frightening, he was protected by Sword Qi at that time, coupled with his cultivation in Water and Fire Dao, the Water Element Magical Power itself had strong healing effects.

So although he suffered a considerable injury then, it didn’t harm the essentials.

Even within this short time, he had recovered for the most part.

"The First Saint Master?"

It was only now that Lu Qing noticed the First Saint Master lying on the ground at a distance, along with the Second and Third Saints sitting nearby, trying to stabilize his injuries with magical power.

And Han Lingshuang watching him intently from the side.

"Greetings, Supreme."

Seeing Lu Qing look over, Han Lingshuang hurriedly greeted.

"Is Lord Han here too?"

Seeing Han Lingshuang, Lu Qing was taken aback.

He didn’t expect the master of the Cold Water Palace to appear at the Holy Mountain.
