The Xie family mansion.
Xie Jingshan stood in the courtyard, practicing his sword moves absentmindedly, looking to the horizon from time to time.
Today is the day when the Nascent Soul Lords of the Tianyan Sect will take all their disciples back to Fengxian Domain in the teleportation formation, and he decided to stay at home.
"Jingshan, come in and have some soup."
Ding Lanzhi's voice came, and Xie Jingshan felt warm in his heart.
There was no one else in the huge hall, only Xie Jingshan and his father Xie Guihong were sitting face to face, and his mother Ding Lanzhi stood beside him to serve soup.
Xie Guihong looked at it eagerly, raising his hand to take the soup before it was ready.
"Lan Zhi has worked really hard. She is so busy and yet she still makes soup for me. I am really flattered by my husband."
"Get out of here, this is for your son."
Ding Lanzhi slapped Xie Guihong's hand away and placed the sweet soup in front of Xie Jingshan.
"My mother's cooking skills are not good, so you just have to drink."
"Thank you, mother."
This scene is exactly what Xie Jingshan has longed for since he was a child, for the family to simply sit together and have a simple meal.
Xie Jingshan's nose suddenly felt sour and he took a sip of the sweet soup.
After taking one gulp, he barely managed to spit it out. His father kicked him under the table, and Xie Jingshan swallowed it with a normal expression.
Did his mother mistake salt for sugar? It tastes terrible!
"Lan Zhi, your soup is very good. It's much better than the chef at Jinshuilou. It's delicious. It's really delicious."
Ding Lanzhi glanced at Xie Guihong, "I'd better stop using your tongue. I put the salt as sugar, but you still think it tastes good?"
Xie Guihong said seriously, "I think it tastes good even if you add Coptis chinensis."
Hearing this, Xie Jingshan and Ding Lanzhi both rolled their eyes, their expressions were exactly the same, there was no doubt that they were mother and son.
Ding Lanzhi sat down, looked at Xie Jingshan and said, "Do you know why Mom made this bowl of soup for you?"
Xie Jingshan shook his head.
Ding Lanzhi said: "Mom just wants you to know that your own imagination may not be consistent with reality. You have always wanted to reunite your family, and your mind is filled with the warmth of a loving mother and a filial son. But I am not afraid to tell you, no. In three days, I will tell you that your nose is not a nose, your eyes are not eyes, and I will beat you up and down."
Xie Jingshan:…………
"So you should keep the good things in your heart and don't make yourself unhappy. Mom knows that I owe you a lot these years. You have always dreamed of family reunion, but Jingshan, you have to know that you have been an independent person from the moment you were born. A human being is no longer a lump of flesh on a mother’s body.”
"A person can't do everything. If you want to be a swordsman and a filial son, if you can't do both at the same time, you have to give up. Now that we are fully equipped, we don't need your care and companionship at all. You You should think about yourself first and ask yourself what you want most.”
Xie Jingshan lowered his eyes, closed his fingers and clenched his fists, and the memories of Tianyan Sect flashed through his mind.
Ding Lanzhi reached out and rubbed Xie Jingshan's head, "Silly son, I know you can't let go of your mother, but to put it bluntly, if you don't go back and practice hard now, when you die, your mother and your father will still be alive. In a few hundred years, when we all have babies and a forest grows on your grave, we will still be full of energy."
"Mom! How could you curse your own son like this!"
Xie Jingshan almost cried, but...this is also true!
Xie Guihong nodded, "Yes, in addition to being a family, we are also independent selves. Dad and mother have their own paths to pursue. We can't be together all the time, and we can't tie each other up for our own selfish desires."
"True love is to return the goshawk to the sky, the fish to the ocean, the trees to the earth, others to others, oneself to oneself, flowers to flowers, and trees to trees."
Xie Jingshan frowned, "I understand the truth, but I'm worried about you..."
Ding Lanzhi and Xie Guihong looked at each other and smiled.
Ding Lanzhi said: "You kid, if you have anything you want to ask, why don't you just ask it directly? Don't you panic when you hide everything in your heart? We are a family, and there is nothing I can't tell you here. You are Don’t you want to know if it was me you saw on the day of the accident in the secret realm?”
Xie Jingshan glanced at Ding Lanzhi quietly, "I know it's you, and I also know that the master of Feiyan Pavilion is in control of the Fang family's affairs. I also know..."
Xie Jingshan spoke slowly, basically restoring the whole thing, and Xie Guihong gradually showed a satisfied smile.
"Well, looking at it now, you are indeed the son of me and your mother."
Xie Jingshan and Ding Lanzhi both rolled their eyes at Xie Guihong again.
Ding Lanzhi said, "So you are worried that the war between Baishui River and Pingjiang River will affect us, so you must stay?"
Xie Jingshan did not deny it. He was indeed worried about this. His grandfather had already gone to prepare for the transformation into a god, and his father and mother were still in the late stage of Jindan and had not yet given birth to a baby.
"Don't worry, we can't fight!"
Ding Lanzhi looked at Xie Jingshan and said, "The chief of the pavilion does not want people to be in ruins. She just wants to reform the current Fang family. You don't have to worry about Lu Nazhi. The master of the pavilion has made the best arrangements for her."
Xie Jingshan said: "But the current situation is clearly the calm before the storm. Even if the Fang family does not start a war, other families will not let the Lu family go, unless..."
In the flash of lightning, Xie Jingshan thought of a possibility and his eyes suddenly opened wide.
Ding Lanzhi nodded in acquiescence, "So there is nothing to worry about. Mom will not go anywhere next. She will just stay in Kongfang City. You can come back anytime you want."
"Family is your support, not a burden. Your father and I are in our prime. It is enough for us to take care of this family. You can go out and live your own world with peace of mind. If you think about it again, you are Do you want to stay, or..."

Relics in the mountains outside Kongfang City.
Jiang Yuebai stood in the crowd, watching Master and other Nascent Soul Lords embed a large number of high-quality spiritual stones throughout the ancient teleportation formation, and then arranged for Tianyan Sect disciples to be teleported in groups of ten.
"Junior Brother Xie, are you still not here?" He Wangchen came over and asked.
Jiang Yuebai shook his head, "I'm not here. He and his mother are reunited after twenty years of separation. I guess they won't be able to leave for a while."
"Yuebai, it's your turn."
Li Jiuchuan stood in the distance and shouted. Jiang Yuebai withdrew his gaze and walked onto the teleportation array with He Wangchen, Yun Shang, and Ge Yuchan.
They are the last batch of disciples in the foundation building period, and there are only nine of them.
"Wait a minute! Wait for me!"
Just when Zhao Fuyi was about to activate the teleportation array, a ray of light came rushing from a distance, riding a flying sword with lightning speed, and it was Xie Jingshan.
"Thank you, junior brother!"
He Wangchen, Song Zhiang and others couldn't help but laugh, feeling that without him, the atmosphere would be less lively.
Xie Jingshan got off the Feijian and saw these friends who were the same age as him and had been together since childhood. He felt more joy in his heart than if he stayed at home.
"Everyone, I'm really sorry, I'm late."
Xie Jingshan quickly ran to the teleportation array, deliberately knocked Jiang Yuebai away, and stood in the middle.
Zhao Fuyi laughed and shook his head, and started to activate the teleportation array.
Light burst out from under his feet, and Jiang Yuebai glanced at Xie Jingshan who was smiling unhappily.
"You can practice at home, why do you have to go back to Tianyan Sect?"
Xie Jingshan was suddenly stunned, "Yes~"
In the flash of lightning, Xie Jingshan suddenly realized.
The teleportation array exploded with light, instantly sucking everyone into the whirlpool and throwing them to the distant Fengxian Realm, leaving only Xie Jingshan's angry curses.
"Xie Guihong, you old bastard!!"
In Xie's mansion, Xie Guihong took out his ears, held Ding Lanzhi in his arms and sat on the swing chair in the courtyard, watching the birds singing and the flowers fragrant, feeling comfortable.
"Finally, I tricked that silly boy away. My father also went overseas. It's just you and me in this family. No one will bother us anymore. How wonderful, haha, how wonderful~"
Ding Lanzhi pinched his waist and said, "That's great, the Fang family has promised the pavilion master the position of clan leader. It's time for our Shanhai Tower and Hongyan Tower to take action!"
"Let all this calm down as soon as possible so that Jingshan can practice with peace of mind. Also, all those people your father arranged around Jingshan should be withdrawn. If he is not allowed to see the blood and suffering, how can he be successful?"
"As you command, my master!"
＊
At the same time, in the Pingjiang region, the Lu family's ancestral hall.
The old patriarch of the Lu family was heartbroken when he saw the ranking of the Lu family's ancestors. He never imagined that the Lu family would be destroyed at the hands of Lu Nazhi.
He took a breath, opened the mechanism of the ancestral hall with his own hands, took out three old and yellowed long jade guides from under the row of ancestors of the Lu family, and turned to look at the three disciples of the Lu family kneeling outside the ancestral hall.
"This is the inheritance of the Lu family, and it is entrusted to you three today. You three are the Lu family's last hope. From today on, the three of you will give up the surname Lu, leave this place incognito, concentrate on practicing, and one day revive. Mr. Lu, kill Lu Nanzhi!!"
"yes!"
"Revive the Lu family and kill Lu Nanzhi!"
