Chapter 33: Dad, you really know how to pick!

As time passed,

the meal gradually drew to a close.

Everyone put down their bowls and chopsticks,

with satisfied expressions on their faces.

Liu Yuesong also had to admit that Bai Qingxia's cooking skills were excellent,

far surpassing his own.

Just then, Ye Qingping gave a light cough,

and then slowly said, "These two kids, Xiuxiu and Ruyan, have never yet returned to our Ye family's ancestral home since they were born!"

His gaze swept over the family members present,

his eyes full of emotion.

Next,

Bai Qingxia beside him responded:

"It's true, it's already been a full four years!"

"Their grandparents still haven't even seen their granddaughters' faces."

After saying that, she couldn't help but let out a soft sigh.

After a brief silence,

Ye Qingping spoke again to break the calm:

"Well, the Ascension Immortal Festival just ended, and everyone can free up some time."

"Why don't we take this opportunity,"

"to go back to our hometown for a few days to visit the elders, so the kids can reconnect with their roots."

Bai Qingxia and Liu Yuesong had no objection to this,

as for the sisters Xiuxiu and Ruyan, there's no need to say,

even if they felt a little dissatisfied, it would be pointless.

The next morning, sunlight filtered through the thin clouds,

and fell softly upon the earth.

Ye Qingping led the family members onto the road to the Ye family ancestral home.

Besides Bai Qingxia, Liu Yuesong, Xiuxiu, and Ruyan,

there were five other women who joined the journey,

Xiuxiu called them Third Aunt, Fourth Aunt, Fifth Aunt, Sixth Aunt, and Seventh Aunt.

Xiuxiu usually had little interaction with these women, merely recognizing them by sight.

After all, cultivators often retreat into seclusion to train,

sometimes a single session of cultivation lasts ages, so communication between them is naturally scarce.

Yet now, traveling together,

Xiuxiu still showed great enthusiasm, smiling,

and greeted each person in turn:

"Hello, Third Aunt! Hello, Fourth Aunt! Hello, Fifth Aunt! Hello, Sixth Aunt! Hello, Seventh Aunt!"

Her clear, pleasant voice was as moving as an oriole emerging from the valley.

"Dad, you really know how to pick!"

Hearing Xiuxiu's words, everyone present couldn't help but smile,

even Liu Yuesong, who had opinions about Xiuxiu, saw the corners of his mouth twitch upward slightly,

clearly very pleased with what Xiuxiu had said.

No woman is indifferent to her appearance,

especially when praised by a candid child,

and this also brought praise to Ye Qingping.

Anyone who heard it would find it most gratifying.

Seeing this, the several aunts all stepped forward,

with smiling faces, they reached out to gently pinch Xiuxiu's tender little cheeks,

then gently rubbed her little head,

their eyes brimming with endless affection.

At that moment, Ye Qingping, standing to the side, wore a bright smile and said:

"All right, we can prepare to set off!"

Having said that, he reached into his storage space,

and then slowly took out an enormous redwood sedan.

The sedan was initially the size of a palm,

but as Ye Qingping infused it with spiritual power,

it rapidly expanded, in the blink of an eye growing to the size of a room,

and then continued to expand,

until it finally became as huge as several rooms joined together.

Rather than calling it a sedan,

it would be more appropriate to call it an impregnable fortress.

Looking closely, the decoration of this sedan chair can be said to be the utmost in luxury.

Both sides of the sedan chair are carved with vivid golden flood-dragon patterns,

From a distance,

it looks as if two majestic golden flood dragons are coiling above the sedan chair, guarding this moving palace.

Ye Qingping stepped into the sedan first, then turned and shouted to everyone:

"Come in quickly, enter this ancient Luo sedan."

"At this speed, we'll reach our destination in just two or three days."

As soon as his words fell, Bai Qingsia took Ye Xiuxiu's hand and followed closely into the sedan.

Upon entering the sedan's interior,

Ye Xiuxiu's bright, watery big eyes instantly widened round,

filled with surprise.

It turned out that the sedan's furnishings were virtually identical to those at home, and it even had several rooms partitioned inside.

With such spacious room, let alone accommodating these ten people,

even squeezing in several dozen more would hardly feel crowded.

The ancient Luo sedan, like a brilliant stream of light, suddenly rose into the air.

However, astonishingly, despite the sedan speeding through the air,

the people inside felt no jolting or swaying at all,

as if they were resting on a calm lake surface.

Ye Xiuxiu widened her bright, watery eyes,

gazing curiously at the ground outside the window that was gradually shrinking.

She couldn't help but exclaim, "Wow! Is this the legendary flying artifact? It's simply amazing!"

Ye Qingping, sitting beside her, couldn't help but chuckle.

He extended his broad palm, gently rubbed Ye Xiuxiu's little head, and said affectionately:

"That's right, my dear daughter,"

"this is the flying artifact."

"How about it, Dad's flying artifact isn't bad, right."

Ye Xiuxiu excitedly nodded, her eyes flashing with eager light:

"Mmm! This flying artifact is really great!"

"It not only flies fast and steady, but it's also so big!"

Just then,

the usually silent Ye Ruyan was also stunned by the sight and couldn't help silently praising in her heart:

"This ancient Luo sedan truly lives up to its reputation!"

"Its offensive and defensive capabilities are excellent, and its flight speed is top-notch,"

"even among many flying artifacts of the Body Integration Stage,"

"it ranks among the foremost."

Suddenly, Ye Xiuxiu tilted her head, looking expectantly at Ye Qingping,

and asked in a sweet voice, "Dad, can you give me such a powerful flying artifact?"

Hearing this, Ye Qingping froze, his face showing an expression of disbelief.

At that moment, everyone else in the room also simultaneously opened their mouths wide, displaying the same astonishment as Ye Qingping.

For a moment, the whole space seemed to freeze……

Ye Ruyan, upon hearing this, couldn't help muttering to herself:

"Indeed, childish innocence! You actually dare to ask for this thing!"

She shook her head in her heart, smirking derisively.

Do you know how precious this ancient Luo sedan is?

Even those powerful cultivators who have reached the early stage of the Body Integration Realm,

who want to purchase this ancient Luo sedan,

would probably have to spend all their wealth!

This ancient Luo sedan is also one of the most important treasures for the entire Ye family.

Without exaggeration,

its value alone could amount to nearly one-third of the Ye family's total estate!

So, upon hearing that Ye Xiuxiu was actually thinking about the ancient Luo sedan, she laughed.
