Protagonist:

Xu Zhangqing

Lin Feng immediately replied, "Yes, Master!"

Every time he saw his junior sister pouring various liquids into the cat's mouth, he also worried.

Worried that this black cat couldn't hold on, and might... kick the bucket at any moment.

He feared that when the time came, the next one would be his turn.

Fortunately, the black cat not only didn't die, but grew fatter and fatter.

Afterward, the two said no more, turned and came to the empty space, then summoned Broken Moon Flowing Frost.

Today there are mainly two matters, and both require going to Dongqing City.

One is that every year at the start of spring Lin Feng can return home for a trip, to reunite with his family.

The other is that the appointed time has arrived, and Xu Zhangqing must bring his eldest disciple Sun Shangxiang over.

Over these years, through Lin An's inquiries and observations, he understood her fairly well.

She neither became a freak, nor underwent any excessive changes.

She has always lived a normal life, and has even begun to read and write.

"Stand firm."

Xu Zhangqing gave a word of caution, and Broken Moon Flowing Frost rose from the ground, carrying the two swiftly into the sky.

Although Lin Feng could return home for a trip every year, he had always gone with his father to Zhuqi Peak, then boarded a giant flying sword.

Today was the first time standing inside his Master's flying magic tool, and the novelty was abundant.

This moon boat's speed was many times faster than a giant flying sword.

In the blink of an eye, Hongfeng Valley and the Spirit Fields turned into a tiny dot.

Before long, even the entire immortal sect's outline began to blur.

Level with the white clouds, chasing alongside flying birds.

This experience made Lin Feng feel refreshed and delighted.

The two flew fast; in less than half an hour they could already see the familiar Dongqing City.

After nearly five years, Xu Zhangqing had come here again.

Overall, it looked more bustling than before; even the city walls had been renovated.

Because it was daytime, people entering and leaving the gate came and went in an endless stream.

Fortunately, cultivators didn't need to queue, and entered the flying crossing point directly.

After landing, Xu Zhangqing said to his second disciple, "Go to your home first, lead the way."

Lin Feng's eyes brightened: "Good, you follow me."

He had stayed in Dongqing City since birth; though it couldn't be said he knew it extremely well, at least he remembered the way home clearly.

Dongqing City is rather special; the three most attractive places here are:

One is the loose cultivator market.

One is the hunting demon teams.

And one is Yixiang Pavilion.

Lin An and Zhang Laizi operate a hunting demon team with numerous members; every month, after deducting expenses, they bring Xu Zhangqing several hundred middle-grade spirit stones in profit.

Among his many businesses, this actually ranks at the bottom.

But for Zhang Laizi and the others of the hunting demon team, it's a different story.

The current top-tier hunting demon team is the group cooperating with the Wang Family; they only earn a little over a thousand middle-grade spirit stones per month.

Being able to earn this amount is already quite good.

Dongqing City has four gates.

Among them, the North Gate is near the Black Forest, so the residents there are mostly hunting demon team members.

Zhang Laizi originally relied on Xu Zhangqing's other identity — that is, a sum of spirit stones given by Zhu Rong of the Fire Spirit Root — to not only form a hunting demon team, but even rent a large courtyard.

To a certain extent, this counts as a great household.

The gate guards recognized Lin Feng at a glance: "The Young Master has returned!"

Another guard hurriedly said: "Quick, quick, go notify the Master and Madam."

Xu Zhangqing and Lin Feng walked inside; before long they saw Lin An running over quickly, his face full of smiles, clearly very happy.

"Senior Brother, Feng'er, you've finally arrived!"

"Not bad, not bad, you've grown taller since last we met."

"The hunting demon team has some business; Laizi went out to handle it, he'll be back soon!"

Then, under Lin An's arrangement, Xu Zhangqing came to a second-floor tea room with decent scenery.

It was evident he often received guests here, so the air carried a faint, clear fragrance.

While taking out the best tea leaves, Lin An enthusiastically hosted: "Senior Brother, please sit!"

After sitting down, Xu Zhangqing casually asked: "How is the hunting demon team doing?"

Lin An hurriedly answered: "It was okay before, but in recent years many out-of-town loose cultivators have emerged, each with very strong strength, snatching away many demon beasts and business."

Xu Zhangqing appeared thoughtful: "Out-of-town?"

Lin An thought carefully: "They say they're from the Central Region."

Xu Zhangqing suddenly understood, chuckling: "Normal. Quite a few things have happened on the Central Region side, so many people have come to our side to make a living."

Besides loose cultivators, there are also quite a few immortal cultivation powers.

For example, the Yanguang Sect we contacted previously came last year.

Back then, Hu Bugui even made a special trip, not only presenting congratulatory gifts but also taking the opportunity to build connections, conducting many spiritual beast exchanges, and thus earning a large sum.

Lin An suddenly understood: "I see."

Fortunately, the overall strength of their Hunting Demon Team can rank in the top three in the vast Dongqing City; although it is indeed affected, there is no major problem.

And with competition comes pressure, and with pressure comes motivation.

Lin An and Zhang Laizi, one managing inside and one outside, have run the household quite well.

Lin Feng couldn't get a word in, glancing outside through the window from time to time, his thoughts written all over his face.

After waiting for about a quarter of an hour, Zhang Laizi finally rushed back.

If not for Lin An sending word that besides his son, his master was also there.

I'm afraid not even one hour would be enough to finish dealing with it.

The door of the tea room, with a "squeak," was pushed open from outside.

Xu Zhangqing already knew who the visitor was through his divine sense, but still glanced over.

The current Zhang Laizi, compared to a few years ago, is even more formidable.

Especially his gaze, both firm and sharp, unbearable for ordinary people.

Lin Feng was especially excited, immediately trotting forward: "Mother!"

Zhang Laizi looked at his son now; even the strongest woman couldn't help but shed scalding tears at this moment: "Feng'er~"

"Cough!"

Lin An coughed dryly, reminding: "This is my senior brother, Xu Zhangqing!"

Everyone present, even Lin An didn't know Zhu Rong was Xu Zhangqing.

Only knew that he was a Golden Core True Person with a Fire Spiritual Root, very strong.

The spirit stones Lin An sent were given to Zhu Rong on the surface, but actually all fell into Xu Zhangqing's hands.

Zhang Laizi hurriedly wiped the tears from the corner of his eyes, then respectfully greeted: "True Person Xu!"

Xu Zhangqing waved his hand: "It's nothing; it's not easy for you mother and child to reunite once."

Zhang Laizi squatted down, sizing up his son now, saying quite gratified: "Taller, stronger!"

Lin Feng grinned: "Mother, I've already learned the basic skills and knowledge of spirit farming."

Master said that after returning, I can learn cultivation methods and step onto the path of cultivation."

Zhang Laizi was very satisfied: "Good, so good!"

Working so hard myself, isn't it just to let my son live better?

Compared to Dongqing City and loose cultivator marketplaces, immortal sects are strong by who knows how many times.

Next, the three of them, a family of three, were happy and harmonious.

Xu Zhangqing watched silently, neither interfering nor urging.

After a night passed, until the next day, only then did he take Lin Feng away.

But he didn't leave Dongqing City; instead, he went to the Sun Family.

After all, a few years ago, both sides had agreed that once Sun Shangxiang turned ten, they would take her to the immortal sect; now the time has come!
