Chapter 1808: Chapter 1805: Return to the Ximen Family
Itâs not that Ling Feng doesnât trust the Cheng family, but rather that he doesnât believe itâs so easy to deceive Qiancheng. Moreover, Ling Feng wants to send Ximen Shuang back to the Ximen Family, and the fewer people know about this, the better.
Right after Ling Feng left on his own, the army from the Storm Sect had already intercepted the Cheng familyâs transport ship. Although they were hindered by the Cheng family members, under the Storm Sect armyâs strong stance, they boarded the ship to conduct a search.
However, even after searching the transport ship thoroughly, they couldnât find any trace of Ling Feng.
After the Storm Sect people left, the captain secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Thankfully, Ling Feng had left earlier, otherwise, he really would have been caught.
Ling Feng flew a single-person airship, following the Star Path towards the territory of the Ximen Family. After traveling for several days, he finally no longer saw any sign of enemies, which made Ling Feng breathe a sigh of relief. At least for now, he was safe.
"However, at this current speed, itâll take at least ten days to reach within the Ximen Familyâs territory," Ling Feng said to himself, checking the Star Map and calculating the distance.
Ten daysâ time, if all goes well, it will pass quickly.
Having shaken off the Storm Sect, Ling Feng didnât encounter any obstacles along the way. Ten days later, Ling Feng piloted the airship and soon arrived within the Ximen Familyâs sphere of influence.
"Finally home!" Ximen Shuang gazed out the window at the familiar scenery, her face showing a look of excitement.
"Ahead is the core residence of our Ximen Family," Ximen Shuang said, "Only Ximen Family disciples can enter smoothly."
As she spoke, several experts appeared in front of the airship, including a tall man who spoke in a deep voice, "Who are you, and why have you come to the residence of my Ximen Family?"
"Uncle Ximen Yue!" Ximen Shuang recognized the middle-aged man and couldnât help but call out, "Itâs me, Iâm Ximen Shuang!"
Upon hearing Ximen Shuangâs voice, Ximen Yueâs face showed a look of shock, "Itâs Little Princess Ximen Shuang, how is this possible..."
Ximen Yue saw Ximen Shuang fly out from the airship, and his face showed a look of disbelief.
"Uncle Ximen Yue, whatâs wrong with you? Arenât you happy that Iâm back?" Ximen Shuang said with a smile.
Ximen Yue took a deep breath, calming his excited feelings, "You really are the Little Princess, itâs great that you could come back!"
Ximen Shuang nodded her head, "Yes, I encountered quite a few things on this journey, but fortunately, I had the help of an expert, otherwise I couldnât have come back smoothly."
As she spoke, Ximen Shuang turned her head to Ling Feng, "Big Brother Lei, come here quickly!"
The moment Ling Feng appeared, Ximen Yue and the others immediately placed Ximen Shuang behind them, each drawing their weapons, glaring at Ling Feng with fierce intent.
"Itâs indeed you!" Ximen Yueâs face showed a ferocious expression, "I donât care what your intentions are, surrender immediately, otherwise weâll show no mercy towards you!"
Ling Feng was stunned for a moment, then looked at Ximen Shuang and furrowed his brow.
"Uncle Ximen Yue, whatâs the meaning of this!" Ximen Shuang also seemed dumbfounded, "Big Brother Lei is my benefactor, how can you treat him like this? Havenât you put your weapons away yet!"
Ximen Yue said in a serious tone, "Little Princess, now that you are safe, you donât have to be threatened by him anymore, we already know everything from Ximen Yu."
Ximen Shuangâs expression changed, "Ximen Yu? Does he still dare to return to the Ximen Family?"
Ximen Yue sighed, "I know, Ximen Yu failed to protect the Little Princess, which was his negligence, but he has already been exiled to the Forbidden Area to reflect. However, he has already told us everything!"
Ximen Shuangâs face darkened, "Uncle Ximen Yue, I donât know what Ximen Yu told you, but let me tell you, Ximen Yu wants to kill me, and it was Big Brother Lei who saved me!"
"How could this be!" Ximen Yue shouted in shock, "How could Ximen Yu do such a thing? Little Princess, are you still being threatened by him?"
Ximen Shuangâs face turned cold, "Ximen Yue, do you think I canât distinguish right from wrong, that I donât know who tried to kill me? Put away your weapons and take us home, I wonât let Ximen Yu go this time!"
Seeing Ximen Shuangâs determined expression, Ximen Yue began to understand somewhat. It seemed Ximen Yu really wanted to kill Little Princess Ximen Shuang, how could that be! The Ximen Family were all well aware that Ximen Yu was a loyal Guardian of Ximen Shuang, now Ximen Shuang says Ximen Yu wants to kill her, which was difficult for the Ximen Family to believe.
"Alright, Iâll take the Little Princess to see the acting family head now, everything will be clear once we meet him," Ximen Yue suddenly said quietly, "Little Princess, the atmosphere in the Ximen Family is a bit off right now."
"The atmosphere is off?"
"Yes, itâs said that the family headâs condition has worsened again, and heâs already on his deathbed..."
Before Ximen Yue finished speaking, shock appeared on Ximen Shuangâs face, "How is this possible, my grandfather wasnât supposed to have two more months to hold on?"
"I donât know what happened either, itâs just rumored that the condition suddenly worsened, maybe he wonât make it through this week, thatâs why thereâs some unrest within the family!"
Ximen Shuang took a deep breath, then looked at Ling Feng, "Big Brother Lei, come with me inside, with you, Iâm at ease!"
Ling Feng nodded, sending Ximen Shuang home wasnât his ultimate goal, he was still thinking of using the Ximen Familyâs power to search for the Mad Doctor!
Ximen Yue looked at Ling Feng, put away his weapon, and said with a pout, "Follow us!"
Following behind Ximen Yue, Ling Feng and the others flew towards the residence of the Ximen Family. After a journey of more than ten minutes, Ling Feng saw a majestic mountainous area towering into the clouds, filled with densely packed buildings.
"That is the core residence of our Ximen Family!" Ximen Shuang explained, "That mountain is called Five Elements Cloud Mountain."
Ling Feng nodded and said, "That mountain range towers into the clouds, with vast territory, truly extraordinary!"
Ximen Shuangâs face showed a slight smile, "After saving grandfather, Iâll take you on a good tour of our Five Elements Cloud Mountain."
A few minutes later, they already arrived at the central peak of Five Elements Cloud Mountain.
"Little Princess is back, Little Princess is back!"
Seeing Ximen Shuang return, the servants of the Ximen Family had already run in to report.
When Ximen Shuang walked inside, a group of Ximen Family members had already come out, headed by a middle-aged man with a face of sorrow, "Shuang Er, youâve finally come back!"
"Uncle!" Ximen Shuangâs eyes reddened slightly, "Iâm home, how is grandfather now?"
The middle-aged man sighed and said, "The family headâs situation doesnât look good, youâre still in time to see him one last time!"
