Seeing Xiaolian and Shopkeeper Huang, Li Ye finally settled a matter in his mind. As for the shop he asked Xiaolian to buy, he didn't think much about it. If he had the chance to come back, it would be best to live here for some time.
However, it all depends on God’s arrangement.
Early the next morning, Li Ye took the three women in white and left Liexi Town early without eating at the inn. The four of them bought breakfast while passing by.
Just because he didn't want to have to say goodbye to Xiaolian again.
As I come quietly, as I leave quietly.
As the boat sailed on the river, Li Ye stared blankly at Liexi Town, which was gradually going away.
The woman in white and Xia Wutong didn't know what happened to Li Ye yesterday, but Xia Wutong knew that Li Ye had been here before, perhaps because of his tired love for the old place.
This made her weak heart feel a little more affection for Li Ye.
Nangong Ruyu lived with the woman in white for a few days, but she regained some of the maternal love she had lost back then. This was something Li Ye was happy about. After all, he didn't know when he would leave.
I don’t know which realm I will go to after my ascension.
It would be fine if it was the Shura Heaven Realm, and the two masters and disciples could continue their master-disciple relationship. If they were in another place, they would be separated forever.
When the boat arrived at Fengling Ferry, the four of them abandoned the boat and landed, renting a carriage and heading to White Jade City.
This was the first time Nangong Ruyu came back here. When he walked to the gate of the white jade city, he looked at the majestic white jade city with the same curiosity as Li Ye did at the beginning.
Holding Li Ye's hand, the little girl asked: "Master, why are the entire walls made of white stones, and only the city gate is blue? It's so ugly!"
The woman in white also looked at it carefully, and after a while she said, "It's really ugly."
Li Ye was stunned and couldn't help but glance at Xia Wutong.
Xia Wutong covered her mouth and laughed for a long time, then looked at Nangong Ruyu and said to the woman in white: "There is a story about this city gate. It was destroyed by Yu'er's master himself..."
After spending a while, Xia Wutong recounted the battle that took place in Fenglingdu and the battle in White Jade City.
Nangong Ruyu nodded and replied thoughtfully: "It turns out that the bad guys want to harm the master. If this is ruined, it will be ruined. If Yu'er is here, the city wall will definitely be ruined as well."
In Nangong Ruyu's heart, only her master is good, and she doesn't care about the floods in the world.
The woman in white glanced at Li Ye and said calmly: "I didn't expect you to command thousands of troops and quell the civil strife in the imperial city. In this case, this battle in Beihai will naturally not be a problem for you."
Li Ye looked at her and smiled: "This is all in the past, not worth mentioning. As for Beihai? I really want to keep them all in the Five Regions?"
The woman in white was shocked and blurted out: "You have the fierceness of Shura Tianyu?!"
Nangong Ruyu clapped her hands, looked at the two of them and said, "Master, don't be afraid, my sister and I will help you fight! I promise not to delay your ascension."
In the little girl's heart, she seemed to have seen the moment when the master and apprentice reunited in the Shura Heaven.
Li Ye thought for a while, touched her head and said with a smile: "Master has been preparing for many years. This battle and charge are all the affairs of the Imperial Dynasty soldiers. You can just stay in the Imperial Master's Mansion."
In his heart, Li Ye wanted the woman in white to stay at his house for a little longer, so that she could at least give her parents, sister, and Shangguan Qiu Ming some advice on spiritual matters.
This is a rare opportunity.
Coupled with the elixir he brought back, it is a small matter for his family and friends to break through several realms.
The woman in white glanced at him and replied quietly: "It depends on the situation."
The group entered the city and arrived in front of the city lord's mansion. Li Ye got out of the car and revealed his identity to the guards, only to find out that Wang Tianhua and Wei Qingyu had gone to the front line.
Concerned about the war in the imperial city, Li Ye did not stop and called several military horses from the city lord's palace to continue running towards the imperial city.
The emperor was waiting for him, and his husband and his parents were also waiting for him. He couldn't find any reason to be lazy.
The woman in white did not let Nangong Ruyu ride alone along the way. Instead, she took her mother and daughter to ride a military horse together, only changing horses from time to time.
I walked quickly all the way, and by the time I arrived outside the gate of the Imperial Master's Mansion, it was already the time to light the lanterns.
Ye Zhiqiu, who was about to greet the two little guys for dinner, heard the movement outside the door and couldn't help but run over.
When he saw that his son was leading the princess back, he immediately hugged Li Ye and burst into tears without caring about his manners.
"Finally I'm back safely. It's been many years since I left. I don't know if you are my biological son." Ye Zhiqiu said while crying.
Li Ye smiled and patted Ye Zhiqiu, pointed at the woman in white and Nangong Ruyu behind him and introduced: "This is my apprentice Nangong Ruyu, and this is her mother. Yu'er, this is my mother, you have to call her. ....."
Having said this, Li Ye looked up at the woman in white again. He had no choice but to call the woman in white senior, while Nangong Ruyu called himself master. It's a mess.
The woman in white seemed to have read through his thoughts, and said to Ye Zhiqiu with a smile: "We each do our own thing, there is no need to talk too much about etiquette."
Nangong Ruyu was well-behaved, and without waiting for Ye Zhiqiu's reply, she called out loudly: "Hello grandma, Yu'er has missed you for a long time."
Ye Zhiqiu was stunned, holding Nangong Ruyu's hand with one hand and started laughing: "I also heard that Ye'er has taken in a well-behaved little apprentice, and she turned out to be incredibly beautiful when she saw her today... Just in time for dinner, Come on, come on.”
Ye Zhizhuqian was helpless and pulled Nangong Ruyu inside. Li Ye looked at the woman in white and smiled bitterly: "I didn't think so much at the beginning, don't mind."
Xia Wutong looked at the two of them and smiled: "Your seniority has been in chaos since Prajna Temple. Even your husband and Master Qingxu were confused by you."
The woman in white smiled and said, "Separate family ties from political affairs and don't worry about it."
When Li Ye heard this, he nodded thoughtfully, looked at it and laughed: "Senior, just don't care about it."
"In this world, I'm just a passerby." The woman in white glanced at him and replied calmly.
The three of them walked inside. The housekeeper in the living room knew that the imperial master had returned home, and had already ordered his servants to add more dishes and chopsticks, and then ran to the kitchen to add more dishes.
Li Ye looked at Li Hongxiu who was sitting alone in front of the hall and asked, "Master, where is my husband?"
Li Hongxiu turned around and exclaimed loudly: "Oh, you still know how to come back? Your husband has gone to the front line to command for you. He will be replaced when you come back."
Li Ye introduced the woman in white to the master, Li Hongxiu, Lin Yueru and others, and the three of them greeted the woman in white. Li Hongxiu pulled Xia Wutong and sat beside him.
"Your master will enjoy it. He is on his way back to Qingcheng at this juncture." Li Hongxiu complained.
Xia Wutong was stunned and blurted out: "Master, why are you back in Qingcheng?"
Li Hongxiu glared and said with a smile: "How could I know!"
Lin Yueru pulled Li Ye and smiled and said, "If I had known better, I would have let Wushuang stay here for a few more days. She just returned to Phoenix Mountain with Master Xu, saying that something happened to the sect. Alas!"
Li Ye frowned, thinking that when it comes to hiring people during the war, everyone will run to the sect...
Could it be that he wants to draw a clear line between himself and the dynasty?
Thinking of this, she couldn't help but reply calmly: "It doesn't matter if they go back. If they stay in the secular world, they will inevitably become infected with the vulgarity of this world, which is detrimental to their practice."
Thinking of this, I thought to myself whether I should end my fate.
Li Xiaoxue looked at her brother blankly, thinking that she would ask for some benefits after finishing the meal.
Shangguan Qiu Ming gently pulled her sleeve and whispered: "I'll ask my brother later if there is any magic medicine that can help one of us break through!"
Li Xiaoxue glared at him and said with a smile: "I can't do without you."
Because of the arrival of Li Ye and others, I finished the meal for an hour before letting go.
At the end of the hour, the family sat in the living room and chatted. Xia Wutong had stayed with Li Ye for several years and had learned how to make tea. He took Li Xiaoxue to light a fire and prepare to make tea.
Nangong Ruyu had been running around all day and shouted that she wanted to sleep. The woman in white took her back to the house to rest. Only Li Ye and Lin Yueru were left in the living room.
Looking at Li Hongxiu with an expectant face, Li Ye looked at her with a smile and said softly: "Master's wife, I have owed you a favor for many years, and I can pay it back to you now."
After speaking, he took out two dark red long swords and placed them on the table.
"Mother, my son also made a handful for you, which can be regarded as a piece of my son's heart."
Li Ye looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said quietly.
Li Hongxiu was startled, reached out to grab the long sword, and exclaimed: "Nalan Yu really got it right. You made a fortune on Tianshan Mountain? Is there another one for Sister Hua?"
Ye Zhiqiu also picked up the long sword on the table and stroked it gently, looked at Li Ye and asked, "Is this sword not light? Is it about the same weight as the one used by Xiaoxue?"
Li Ye looked at the two of them and smiled and said: "The materials for making this sword were accidentally obtained on Tianshan Mountain, and the scabbard is a rare material. They are all good treasures."
"Did you make an extra sword? Don't hide it, show it to your master's wife." Li Hongxiu didn't believe that Li Ye only forged three swords.
Li Ye looked at her and shook his head, pointed at Xia Wutong and said with a smile: "The materials I got are only enough to make three swords. If you don't believe me, ask my senior sister."
Xia Wutong was stunned, looked at Li Hongxiu and smiled: "Junior brother told the truth this time, even I didn't get any benefits."
After hearing this, Li Hongxiu stopped.
Gently pulling out the long sword, he saw a cold light shining, which shocked Li Hongxiu. He looked at the two people and asked, "Three divine swords again?"
Li Ye looked at her and smiled: "It's not a divine sword, but it's not much different from the swords of the princess and Xiaoxue. This material is rare in the world."
Li Hongxiu nodded with satisfaction, looked at Li Ye and asked, "Do you have a name for this sword?"
Li Ye was stunned for a moment, thinking that he had forgotten about this matter as he practiced all the way.
"The swords haven't even been named. It's up to Master and Mother to come up with a name. Although the three swords are the same, there are some differences in weight. Master's sword is the heaviest, Sister Hua's is slightly lighter, and then it's Mother's."
Li Ye looked at the two people and said softly.
Li Hongxiu looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said with a smile: "This finally fulfills your wish and mine. Don't worry about the name of this sword. Let's think about it slowly. Little guy, it's not in vain that I have loved you for more than ten years."
Li Xiaoxue, who finally couldn't bear it anymore, looked at Li Ye and asked, "Brother, we haven't seen each other for several years. Did you bring any gifts to brother Xue'er and Qiu Ming?"
Li Ye was stunned, looked at his sister blankly, and asked with a smile: "What kind of gift does my sister want, please tell me?"
"It's all gold coins, jewelry, and elixirs!" Li Xiaoxue looked at him, her eyes shining.
Li Ye shook his head, thinking that his sister was also a little money-crazy.
Li Hongxiu glared at her and said with a smile: "Aren't you embarrassed to say this? You are now the princess with a salary, don't say it is embarrassing!"
When Li Xiaoxue heard this, she couldn't help curling her lips and said, "That was given by the emperor, it's different from what my brother gave me."
Li Ye shook his head, took out a scabbard and put it on the table.
"I didn't have good materials last time, so I'll make a new one for my sister this time to see if she likes it."
When Li Xiaoxue saw it, her eyes suddenly lit up. She took out her Qingluan Sword and tried to insert it into the new scabbard... After a long while, she screamed in joy.
"It's good now. Xiaoxue's scabbard is made of the same material as her mother."
...
"Where's Xiaobai? Is he..." Looking at Li Hongxiu, Li Ye asked softly.
When Li Hongxiu heard this, she smiled softly and said, "That little guy? He only stayed for one night when he came back. He hurriedly went to see your husband, saying he wanted to help him fight. I couldn't persuade him."
Li Ye sighed and replied in a daze: "I am worried that there is no one around my ancestors, so I asked him to come back and stay with me first, in case something happens, I will have someone to send me."
Li Hongxiu nodded, looked at him and smiled: "That's right, he is also a master of the distraction realm."
Li Ye shook his head and replied: "With the great changes in the world, the other party may not have practitioners of the distraction realm."
"What should we do?" Li Hongxiu looked at Li Ye anxiously and asked.
Li Ye smiled faintly and said, "Wait until I finish the matters in the imperial city before meeting him."
