Alex asked what had happened to Xue irong and Gu Zhanrou.
Xue irong was the daughter of Xue Mufan, the other of the two Saint Alchemists that were around when Alex was here over 30 years ago.
Gu Zhanrou on the other hand was soone who had managed to beat Xue irong in a small competition Alex had held and had managed to beco the Royal Alchemist after him.
They had both shown trendous talent in the Alchemy competition that Alex had won, so now that he learned what Zhou Ren was up to, he wanted to learn what the other two were up to as well.
It turned out that Xue irong was an elder in the Falling Lotus sect, working along with her father to make the sect the best Alchemy sect in the empire.
Gu Zhanrou had returned back to her own sect, which was also trying to compete against the Falling Lotus sect to beco the best Alchemy sect.
As of now, the Falling Lotus sect was winning, but it wasn't ahead by that much.
Alex also asked about a few other people and learned about them.
The gardener, Wei Ruoran, who had taught him how to grow plants and rear for them had ended up overcoming his Qi deviation and had broken through to the Saint realm in what was the biggest spectacle anyone had produced to enter the Saint realm.
Because he had learned a dao, the man had to go through lightning tribulation to successfully beco a Saint realm expert.
Alex wanted to greet him and thank him for what he had done for him, but unfortunately, it turned out that the man was currently in closed cultivation.
Aside from him, Alex asked a bit about the various prince and princesses that he had gotten to know during his stay. After he got everything he wanted, he let the princess go and cultivated for the night
Tomorrow morning, he left the royal palace with his mother and made his way to the Dawnspring city that was to the southeast.
It took him nowhere near as much ti as it had taken him when he had co to the Radiant city from the north.
Due to the short distance, Alex and Helen arrived outside the city before they even knew it. Along the way, Alex saw the Han family's ancestral ground with many people currently training outside in the sun.
He wondered how Han Daiyu was doing. The beefy young girl who liked using her hamr had most likely entered the Saint realm, given how close to it she was all those years ago. Since the Han family was one of the ones that attacked Alex however, he did not wish to go et them directly.
He skipped the city as well, flying over it to go to the Flowing Brush sect. They arrived at the top of the mountain peak where the gate was and landed.
The few people there were surprised to see soone co and got a little hesitant and apprehensive.
Alex walked up front and everyone looked at him. However, no one rembered what Alex looked like, so they didn't react in the way Alex expected them to.
On the other hand, when his mother walked forward, they all imdiately greeted her, calling her elder Hei in the process.
Alex was surprised to see that there were people here that rembered her amongst the guards even though she had already left the sect over 2 decades ago. She must've been pretty popular in her sect before she left.
But, they didn't recognize Alex at all.
They waited outside for a few minutes before the two of them sensed a group coming flying toward them. They both looked in that direction and saw 5 people, of which only 2 were in the Saint realm.
"Disciple Hei greets master and elders," Helen spoke imdiately, bowing toward the people that had arrived.
Alex recognized none from the group except for Qin Shan, who was his mother's master. The last ti he had seen him was when he left his mother in the sect before he made his way to the Demon realm.
"Lin'er, you're back?" Qin Shan couldn't help but ask in surprise. "Are you alright? Did the beasts kick you out?"
Helen smiled softly after hearing her master's worry. "No, master. I ca at my own discretion. It had been so long and I wanted to et you."
"Is that so? Then I have nothing to—"
Qin Shan's eyes moved toward Alex who was a little further away. Because he couldn't sense any aura from Alex, he had completely overlooked his presence. However, now that he had noticed him, his shock only grew exponentially.
"Aah! Yu Ming? That's you, right?" Qin Shan asked.
"It's good to et you again, senior Qin," Alex spoke, bowing slightly toward his mother's master.
"You… you survived?" Qin Shan asked, unbelieving of his own eyes. "Lin'er, your son ca back. I-I can't believe this. I'm so happy for you."
"Yes, master," Helen said with a bright smile. "Not only him, I found my husband as well, and I also have a granddaughter now."
"What?" Qin Shan's surprises were truly unending.
The other elders were surprised to hear what Qin Shan said as well since they knew who Helen's son was. Imdiately, they started congratulating the two as well and brought them inside the sect.
Helen and Qin Shan imdiately started asking about each other, trying to learn what had happened to each other in the ti they were separated.
Alex was brought into the conversation a few tis as well and was asked how he survived at all with the Saints trying to kill him. Alex told them that he was teleported away from this continent to the next one.
The people there were surprised to hear that there was a way to visit other continents. Most of them had to even make an effort to rember there were other continents. Because of how uncommon the topic was, it had been centuries since the last ti they had to think about that knowledge.
"Oh right, Lin'er. You are a player, aren't you?" Qin Shan asked. "There is news going around that the players can be sent back ho. Apparently, if you go to the Lightsworns in the city, they will help you go back to your ho. I don't know how true that is, but you and your son should try that."
Helen smiled. "I know that, master. I and my son were the ones that had the emperor spread this ssage," she said.
"Oh… is that so?" Qin Shan was surprised. "Then… do you not plan on staying here for long?"
Helen shook her head. "I only ca for a small visit, master," she said. "I don't know how long I'll stay, but at most, it will be a day or two."
"Is that so," Qin Shan was a little disappointed.
"Yes, I'll be going ho, master," she said. "After that, it's unlikely that I will be returning to the Western Continent for a long ti."
"I see…" Qin Shan got a little sad. "Well, I suppose I can't expect you to co back just because you're my disciple. As long as you are happy, that will be enough for ."
