After finishing the meal, the gate of the "inner city" of the imperial city opened on time.

Duan Lingtian put down his money, settled the bill, took Mo Yu with him, left the restaurant and entered the inner city.

The inner city, like the outer city, has not changed much compared to a few years ago.

Following the familiar road all the way to his home, Duan Lingtian's heartbeat suddenly accelerated, getting faster and faster...

Now, he is simply more nervous than when he faced the 'powerful person who enters the virtual realm'.

Fear of being close to home!

This is what Duan Lingtian is feeling right now.

Finally, Duan Lingtian arrived outside a house.

This house was originally purchased by him himself.

The scene from the past is vivid in my mind, as if it was yesterday.

Duan Lingtian stood in front of the gate of the house, raised his hand, but could not put it down...

Mo Yu and Little Golden Rat could feel the heavy atmosphere and remained silent without disturbing Duan Lingtian.

Finally, Duan Lingtian took a deep breath, lowered his hand, and knocked on the door.

Boom! Boom!

After knocking twice, Duan Lingtian retracted his hand. He could hear footsteps approaching.

Soon, the door was opened, and a familiar figure appeared in front of Duan Lingtian...

"Master!"

Behind the gate, the young woman looked at Duan Lingtian and was stunned for a moment, then she looked excited and made a sound of surprise.

"Jingru, long time no see."

Duan Lingtian smiled and nodded to the young woman.

The young woman in front of him is none other than the housekeeper Duan Lingtian found for his house, Jingru.

"Master, if Madam knows that you are back, she will definitely be very happy."

Jingru took a long time to calm down her excitement and said with a smile.

"How is my mother doing lately?"

Hearing Jingru mention his mother, Duan Lingtian looked anxious.

"Young Master, don't worry, Madam is very good... Princess Baguio and Miss Xiao Lan come to visit Madam every now and then. The past few years have been like this. So Madam is never alone."

Jingru said slowly.

"It's hard for them."

Duan Lingtian nodded, introduced Jingru and Mo Yu to each other, and walked into the house.

"Jingru, we are going to stay for a while when we come back this time... Help Mo Yu tidy up a room."

Duan Lingtian ordered Jingru to say.

"yes."

Jingru responded respectfully and led Mo Yu away.

"Xiao Jin, you can play by yourself...don't go too far. I'm going to see my mother."

Duan Lingtian said something to the little golden mouse, and after the little golden mouse left his shoulder, he walked towards the backyard.

The flowers and plants in the backyard have changed a lot.

After all, several years have passed.

Duan Lingtian walked into the backyard and immediately saw the slim figure watering the flowers and plants there. The familiar back made him tremble.

Finally, Duan Lingtian took a deep breath, suppressed the uncontrollable excitement in his heart, and slowly said, "Mother."

mother.

As soon as Duan Lingtian finished speaking, he saw a graceful figure in the distance and trembled suddenly.

Immediately afterwards, the graceful figure turned around, revealing an alluring figure and face...

"Tian...Tian'er!"

After several years, Li Rou didn't seem to have changed much, but her autumn eyes seemed to have changed a bit. Now when she saw Duan Lingtian, she looked excited and her body trembled slightly.

"Mom, the unfilial son is back!"

Duan Lingtian took a few steps forward, knelt in front of Li Rou, and spoke from the bottom of his heart.

At this moment, Duan Lingtian's heart was trembling with excitement as he looked at Li Rou's increasingly aged cheeks, his eyes were moist, and a smile appeared on his face.

Although Duan Lingtian possessed Duan Lingtian by mistake back then, Li Rou's dedication to him over the years has made him regard Li Rou as his biological mother, and there is nothing unnatural about her.

After several years, when he saw Li Rou again, his heart was trembling, and he was like a child who had lost his way and once again found the light that guided him forward.

"Tian'er, what are you doing? Just come back, just come back..."

Li Rou quickly helped Duan Lingtian up, stood on tiptoes, looked at Duan Lingtian's face, and murmured to herself, "Growing up, my Tian'er has grown up..."

"mother!"

Duan Lingtian opened his arms and hugged Li Rou tightly. The tears accumulated in his eyes could no longer be suppressed and flowed down.

When a man sheds tears, he doesn't shed them lightly, but he doesn't reach the point of sadness.

Li Rou patted Duan Lingtian's back gently, and a happy smile appeared on her beautiful cheeks.

Mother and son separated after a long time.

"Tian'er, where are Ke'er and Fei'er?"

Li Rou looked behind Duan Lingtian and asked after finding no one.

Duan Lingtian could see the longing in Li Rou's eyes, and smiled slightly: "Mom, some time ago, Ke'er and Xiao Fei'er went on a long trip with the elders of the sect... After they finish their work, they will come back to see you.

"

When he said these words, Duan Lingtian's heart was filled with bitterness.

Now the Seven Star Sword Sect's destruction is a foregone conclusion.

It won't take long for the news of the Seven Star Sword Sect's demise to spread throughout the entire Qinglin Empire.

By then, the master of Yaoguang Peak, ‘Qin Xiang’, will definitely receive the news and will definitely not return to the Seven Star Sword Sect again…

"I hope Ke'er and Xiao Feier can return to Chixiao Kingdom as soon as possible."

Duan Lingtian said silently in his heart.

He has made a decision. When he comes back this time, he will stay in Chixiao Kingdom for a while, waiting for Ke'er and Xiao Feier to come back...

He believed that Ke'er and Li Fei would definitely come back after learning about the demise of the Seven Star Sword Sect.

This is also their ‘root’.

"well."

Li Rou did not doubt Duan Lingtian's words. She took Duan Lingtian's hand and led him into the pavilion to sit down. "Tian'er, tell me, mother, how did you get here in the past few years?"

It was obvious that Li Rou was full of curiosity about Duan Lingtian's experience in the past few years.

Duan Lingtian smiled slightly. Except for the fact that the Seven Star Sword Sect was exterminated, he did not hide any other things and told them one by one.

Li Rou listened carefully.

Every time she heard about the dangers, she couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for Duan Lingtian.

He didn't expect that in just a few years, her son would go through so much, and even pass by the 'Gate of Hell' several times...

"Tian'er."

Li Rou held Duan Lingtian's hand, fearing that if she let go, Duan Lingtian would leave.

Duan Lingtian could feel the moisture coming from Li Rou's hands. He knew that his mother was worried about him, so he couldn't help but comfort him: "Mom, don't worry. Am I okay? Your son is very lucky, and he will definitely be able to escape danger when necessary.

It’s good luck.”

Li Rou nodded slightly, but the worry in her autumn eyes did not diminish at all.

"Mom, this is the ten thousand year stalactite 'emulsion' I just mentioned."

Duan Lingtian took out two bottles of the 'emulsion' of ten-thousand-year stalactites and handed them to Li Rou, "By taking this lotion of ten-thousand-year stalactites, my mother, your talents will be raised to the ultimate level of a warrior in Yunxiao Continent... Then you can start practicing."

, will get twice the result with half the effort.”

While handing the ten thousand year stalactite to Li Rou, Duan Lingtian's spiritual power extended out and swept towards Li Rou.

Soon, Duan Lingtian's eyes widened.

"Mother...you...you actually broke through to the 'third level of Nascent Soul Realm'?"

Duan Lingtian looked surprised when he found out Li Rou's current cultivation level.
