Chapter 381

It had been five or six years since he left the Yang Clan. When he left back then, he was still an ordinary person who couldn’t cultivate. But now that he was back, he had already reached the seventh layer of the True Yuan Realm.

It felt like a lifetime ago！

Yang Kai was also very worried about his two elders at home. However, due to the family rules, he simply couldn’t come back to visit. Moreover, last time Dong Qinghan told him that his mother ran out to see him secretly, but was discovered by the family. Fourth Master Yang took her place and received thirty heavy blows with a wooden board, which made Yang Kai even more concerned.

He didn’t know how the two elders had been in these years.

With his emotions fluctuating, he quickly left the Forbidden Area of Transforming Dragon Pool. Just as he left that expanse of clouds and mist, he saw two figures standing extremely straight, quietly waiting there and looking forward to the Forbidden Area.

They looked at each other and were all stunned in surprise.

Yang Kai simply didn’t expect that the two elders would be waiting here. After all, he had only returned to the family for less than half a day. If no one had sent a message, perhaps the two elders wouldn’t even know that he had come back.

Yang Yingfeng and Dong Suzhen also didn’t expect that their son would appear in front of them so quickly.

As a result, they all hadn’t come back to their senses.

Previously, Fourth Master said that Yang Kai entered the Transforming Dragon Pool and it would take at least one or two days for him to come out, which was also overestimating Yang Kai’s talent as much as possible.

From Tu Feng, they already knew Yang Kai’s current cultivation level and also knew that he had gotten rid of the problem of congenital deficiency back then. However, they had no idea about how Yang Kai’s talent was.

Estimating that staying in the Transforming Dragon Pool for one or two days, the talent definitely wouldn’t be good, but it was still normal.

They never expected that in just half a day, Yang Kai would come out of the Dragon Transformation Pool. Such a short time indicated that Yang Kai’s talent was really in question.

The three of them looked at each other, and then, Yang Kai smiled. It seemed that he had never shown such a relieved and carefree smile in all these years.

Dong Suzhen’s mouth suddenly puckered up, and tears streamed down her face. Without saying a word, she quickly stepped forward and hugged her son tightly in her arms.

But Yang Kai was obviously not the same as he was back then. After all these years away, he had grown a lot taller, and Dong Suzhen was actually half a head shorter than him. she could only stand on tiptoe, wrap her small hands around Yang Kai’s neck and rest his head on her slender shoulder, one hand stroking his hair and the other on his broad back.

She opened her mouth several times, but was replaced by choking sobs and couldn’t speak a word.

Tears dripped onto Yang Kai’s shoulder, and a warm feeling spread. Smelling the fragrance that had fascinated him when he was a child, his entire mind was at peace, and a sense of relaxation he had never felt before exploded in his body and mind.

The ship that had been sailing for a long time finally returned to the warm and peaceful harbor.

Yang Kai’s nose became sour.

Fourth Master Yang, a tough man as solid as iron, actually had red eyes at this moment. He quietly turned his head and squeezed his eyes hard.

Mother, I’m back！” Yang Kai murmured softly.”

Dong Suzhen finally calmed her excited emotions. While gently patting Yang Kai’s back, she nodded repeatedly： “It’s good to be back, it’s good to be back！”

She said it more than a dozen times in a row. Her voice gradually stopped trembling. In the end, she couldn’t help but burst into laughter through her tears, and then she let go of Yang Kai. With both hands pinching his shoulders, she just stood in front of him, looking him up and down, and her beautiful eyes were full of joy.

He had grown taller and stronger, and was no longer the frail child he used to be. Now that her son was standing in front of her, she actually had a sense of dependence.

Thinking of this, Dong Suzhen started crying again.

A person’s growth is always accompanied by hardships. Yang Kai’s transformation was inseparable from the hardships he had endured outside in recent years.

Yang Kai was just about to give Fourth Master a wink, indicating that he should come over and comfort her. Unexpectedly, his father actually turned his head aside, looking up at the sky at a forty-five-degree angle. It seemed that there were birds flying in the sky, and he was standing there with his hands behind his back, looking very composed.

The corners of his eyes were moist！

Yang Kai had no choice but to speak up and comfort her himself： “Alright, stop crying！”

“Yes, it would be embarrassing if someone saw.” Dong Suzhen nodded slightly, wiping her tears, and her two eyes were swollen like peaches.

Yang Kai then smiled and looked at Yang Yingfeng.

Fourth Master was still maintaining his posture, unwavering.

“Dad…” Yang Kai softly called out.

I don’t know what Fourth Master Yang was thinking. With a start, he quickly turned his head and actually bowed ed at Yang Kai with a serious expression. His mouth opened and suddenly found that something seemed wrong.

He was meeting his son, not a peer elder. Why was he clasping his fists? Was he going to pay homage to him?

His old face instantly turned bright red. He nonchalantly reached out and flicked his sleeves, flicking away the non-existent dust. Then he put his hands behind his back and nodded slightly, looking composed： “Well, you’re back？”

Yang Kai sniffed and felt that this question was a bit unsolvable. He could only nod： “Well, I’m back.”

“Then… “let’s go home!” Fourth Master Yang was restless and waved his hand, walking ahead first. The roots of his ears were red.

Yang Kai and Dong Suzhen looked at each other and followed behind Fourth Master Yang, both chuckle with their mouths pursed.

Although Yang Yingfeng didn’t show much when he saw Yang Kai, anyone could see that at this moment, he was quite smug. Even his steps had become much lighter than before.

At Fourth Master’s residence.

The three of them walked quickly all the way and soon returned home.

Fourth Master’s residence was not big, but it wasn’t small either. After all, he was a dozen or so servants and maids in the residence which seemed a bit quiet compared to other places.

Entering the mansion, the servants and maids encountered along the way all respectfully saluted Yang Kai.

Yang Yingfeng quickly asked someone to prepare dishes to welcome his son back and wash the dust, but Dong Suzhen pulled Yang Kai and directly rushed to his former bedroom.

Pushing open the door in memory, Yang Kai slowly walked in. What he saw was no different from what was in his memory. Whether it was the position of the things placed inside or the pattern, there was no change at all. On the tables, chairs and beds, there was not a speck of dust, obviously someone would come to clean it every day.

Yang Yingfeng flashed in like a ghost and said in a low voice： “After you left, your mother often came back here. Looking at this place, it’s as if seeing you still at home.”

Dong Suzhen secretly pinched Yang Yingfeng. Fourth Master had thick skin and didn’t say a word, just looked at his wife suspiciously.

“Don’t listen to your father’s nonsense. I just come to take a look occasionally, “Dong Suzhen said hurriedly.

Yang Kai nodded slightly. He knew better than anyone in his heart. This room, I’m afraid not only would his mother come often, but even his father would also visit frequently.

The whole room was filled with the smell of the two elders in the family’s missing.

It can be imagined that Yang Yingfeng stood here, sighing long and short. It can be imagined that Dong Suzhen sat on the bed, weeping bitterly.

Five or six years, more than a thousand days and nights…

If one is not a parent, one can never experience how hard this period is.

Yang Kai’s heart was surging, his breathing slightly rapid, but he didn’t know what to say.

“I’ll go and ask someone to send the food and wine here. We’ll eat here today.” Fourth Master realized that he seemed to have said the wrong thing and quickly made an excuse to slip away.

“I’ll go and help. Son, you take a rest for a while.”

Not long after, the servants delivered the food and wine. All the dishes were cooked by Dong Suzhen herself. Fourth Master Yang even took out the good wine that he had cherished for many years and had been reluctant to drink.

The family of three sat at the same table to have a meal for the first time in so many years, and it was very harmonious and happy.

In a short while, Fourth Master got drunk. It’s not that the wine makes people drunk, but people get drunk by themselves.

After a while, Dong Suzhen also drank a little confused. Only Yang Kai was still relatively sober.

“That’s all for today. I’ll come to talk to you tomorrow.” Although there were thousands of questions in his heart, Yang Yingfeng didn’t ask on the first day Yang Kai came home. He said and then stood up unsteadily.

Dong Suzhen propped up her fragrant cheek with her hand, her eyes hazy with drunkenness, and said, “You go back by yourself. I want to sleep with my son tonight. I haven’t slept with him for a long time.”

Yang Kai was shocked.

Fourth Master, however, had a calm face. Hearing this, he nodded and said “oh”, then turned around and walked towards the door.

“Father…” Yang Kai quickly called out to him.

“What’s the matter？” Yang Yingfeng asked, turning around.

“Don’t you think there’s something wrong？” Yang Kai had a black line on his forehead.

Fourth Master thought seriously for a while, then frowned and said, “What’s wrong？”

Yang Kai covered his forehead, knowing that the two elders were probably really drunk and still regarded him as a child？

Now, no matter what he said, they probably wouldn’t listen. In desperation, Yang Kai could only call in the maidservant from outside and help Dong Suzhu back to the house to rest.

The sound of footsteps gradually faded away, and Dong Suzhu’s muttering came from afar： “Don’t make trouble. I want to sleep with my son tonight. Whoever pulls me, I’ll curse him with a little man！”

In the future, he must never let the two elders get drunk again！ Yang Kai secretly decided in his heart.

The next day, at dawn.

Yang Kai got up early, facing the rising sun and practicing the Proud Bone Golden Body Art. The true yuan in his body wandered erratically and jumped around, as if there were some signs of a breakthrough again.

When he was in the Lv family, he absorbed such a large piece of Yang Crystal Jade Bed, and these days he took the Myriad Medicine Spiritual Liquid every day to wash the meridians and refine the marrow. Now if he wants to break through, it is not considered abnormal.

His state of mind was calm, neither sad nor happy, letting nature take its course.

Half an hour later, he finished his cultivation with a sweaty body.

After breakfast, a servant came to report that Fourth Master was summoning him！

Yang Kai knew that the two elders must have a lot to say to him, so he wasn’t too surprised. After tidying up a little, he rushed to the study in a hurry.

As expected, not only was Yang Yingfeng waiting in the study, but Dong Suzhen was also sitting aside, looking eagerly at the door.

Seeing Yang Kai enter the door, Dong Suzhen quickly stood up and pulled him to sit down beside her.

The three of them sat down, and Fourth Master Yang coughed dryly. Looking at Dong Suzhen, he said, “You ask first or shall I ask first？”

“You ask, what I want to ask are all trivial matters.”

Yang Yingfeng nodded, his expression became serious, and after pondering for a moment, he said, “The relationship between me and Lingxiao Pavilion, your grandmaster has told you everything, right？”

“Yes, he has.” Yang Kai nodded.

“Then you should know why I asked you to go to Lingxiao Pavilion.” Yang Yingfeng took a light breath. “Let me ask you, what is the current situation of Lingxiao Pavilion？”

Yang Yingfeng only knew that Lingxiao Pavilion was burned to the ground in the anger of the Qiu family’s experts, and the several thousand disciples of Lingxiao Pavilion were all dispersed, while the high-ranking officials in the sect were missing.
