Looking at the figure smiling at him not far away, a hint of hesitation appeared on Lin Yi’s beautiful face.
"Li Chen?"
Li Chen smiled and nodded.
Almost in disbelief, Lin Yi spoke again with so hesitation, "Honey."
Li Chen nodded again, his smile even brighter.
"Brother-in-law!!"
Lin Xiaoxiao didn’t care much, shouted, and ran directly towards Li Chen.
However, Lin Xiaoxiao is no longer the sa as before; now she’s a genuine Earth-level expert.
With just a flash, she appeared right in front of Li Chen, tackled him to the ground.
"Brother-in-law!!"
As if to vent, Lin Xiaoxiao hit Li Chen’s chest with a few hard punches.
Of course, she only used her small, pink fists, without any True Qi.
As she hit him, sohow, Lin Xiaoxiao suddenly collapsed on Li Chen’s chest and started crying bitterly.
Her crying was without any restraint, heart-wrenching, as if she was letting out all her accumulated negative emotions.
"Brother-in-law! I thought you... you..."
Li Chen sat up from the ground, patted Lin Xiaoxiao’s head, and hearing her sobbing voice, couldn’t help but laugh, "Don’t worry, I’m fine. See? I’m safe and sound, back here with you."
"Honey!"
At this mont, Lin Yi also rushed over, similarly leaning on Li Chen’s shoulder, no longer possessing the strong woman’s façade, and began crying uncontrollably.
Li Chen held the two won tightly, but couldn’t utter any comforting words.
He knew very well they were rely venting.
Quietly, Li Chen made a decision in his heart.
No matter what happens in the future, he must never let these won feel sorrow because of him again.
In the battle against Luo Kai and Yu Manfang, although he ultimately achieved victory, he almost got blown up by Luo Kai’s self-destruction.
If it hadn’t been for the Black Pearl suddenly appearing to transfer both him and Luo Kai at the sa ti, Li Chen might have truly perished alongside Luo Kai’s explosion.
Though Li Chen has risked his life more than once, life is precious, for if lost, it’s truly gone forever.
He was very aware of the two won’s concerns.
Fortunately, he survived, and through his journey in the minor world, he not only returned but broke through to beco a Zhonghe-level warrior!
"I’m back."
Holding the two won tightly, Li Chen remained silent for a long ti, finally saying only these four words.
Yet, for the two won, just those four words were enough.
He was back!
He was back!
The three of them embraced tightly for a while before calming down.
Lin Xiaoxiao quickly crawled out of Li Chen’s embrace, her face looking slightly frantic.
Her earlier actions seed to go beyond a little sister-in-law’s boundary with her brother-in-law. Would her sister notice anything?
Cautiously glancing at Lin Yi, Lin Xiaoxiao found that Lin Yi was just staring intently at Li Chen, seemingly oblivious to any anomalies with her, which allowed Lin Xiaoxiao to breathe a sigh of relief quietly.
"Actually, my experiences this ti were quite bizarre." Li Chen began to speak, "However, these things, I’d prefer to tell you slowly."
"Originally, at that ti I thought I was surely done for. But seeing you, I still want to say; being alive is truly wonderful."
Lin Yi smiled, Lin Xiaoxiao also smiled.
The tear stains on the two won’s faces hadn’t faded, but they did not hinder the joy rising from their hearts at this mont.
"Being alive is wonderful, yes, quite reasonable." At this mont, a vigorous voice suddenly sounded out of thin air.
Li Chen turned his head, noticing that an elderly man in Taoist robe had already appeared behind him at so unknown ti.
"Master." Seeing the old man, Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao quickly wiped away their tears and called out.
"Senior Wenxing." Li Chen also respectfully greeted the old man.
He had witnessed the progress in Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao’s strength, knowing that without Wenxing’s guidance, the two won might have spent much more effort to reach Earth-level.
Though Wang Qianqian and An Qin have reached Earth-level, An Qin’s progress is attributable to her upbringing on the Holy Mountain, providing a remarkable cultivation foundation, allowing her to breakthrough smoothly.
And Wang Qianqian, inheriting the Black General’s special legacy, accomplished the most arduous transition from nothing to Martial Artist Grade, subsequently guided by four grandfathers.
However, Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao were genuinely without foundational support.
Though they possessed Lucid Bodies after Purifying Body, it wasn’t easy to achieve rapid success.
Furthermore, as they reached Earth-level, the role of the Lucid Body greatly diminished, with comprehension becoming the crucial factor for Earth-level breakthroughs.
Otherwise, Li Chen wouldn’t have been stuck at Union Level, unable to advance further.
"Senior, I ca this ti..."
Li Chen was about to speak when Wenxing directly interrupted by waving his hand, "I know what you wish to say. You ca here to take them back, right?"
Without waiting for Li Chen to answer, Wenxing nodded directly, "I agree."
"Thank you, Senior!" Li Chen’s face showed delight.
"Thank you, Master, for fulfilling our wishes!" Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao also hurriedly expressed their gratitude.
Wenxing shook his head, "No need to thank . I just foresaw the teacher-student bond, but I can’t determine its length; your arrival and becoming my disciples are part of fate."
"I’m rely following the decree."
Seeing Li Chen seemingly uninterested in his words, Wenxing didn’t insist, just smiled and shook his head, "Alright, I know you just reunited and have many things to discuss, I as this old man will not be an intrusion."
Upon hearing these words, the trio’s faces involuntarily showed embarrassnt.
"You don’t plan to leave now, do you?" Wenxing looked at the trio and asked.
"Mm, I plan to leave tomorrow." Li Chen replied.
"Good." Wenxing nodded, "I have so questions for you, but since you’re leaving tomorrow, I’ll take Zhao Xing away first and co back tomorrow."
"Thank you, Senior!" Li Chen earnestly bowed to Wenxing.
This was heartfelt gratitude, as the elderly man took Lin Yi and Lin Xiaoxiao as disciples and brought them to the Barrier World of the Mystic Star Sect, not only teaching them martial arts but also protecting them.
Li Chen’s gratitude towards this elder was genuine.
Wenxing smiled, shook his head again, and with a turn, his figure disappeared from the mountaintop once more.
Just as he had appeared, leaving no trace.
