As a father, I just want to quietly watch you live a long life

Chapter 563 - 203: Completion of the Guanyin Lotus Main Battle Tank, All Underworld Beasts Deployed_4

A family of three looked at the small courtyard as snowflakes fluttered down.

Before they knew it, they had also spent a whole year in this small courtyard.

Zhang Ya actually felt quite reluctant to leave.

In this courtyard, she had experienced many things.

It was also in this courtyard that she underwent Sinew Transforming and Bone Tempering with her husbandʼs help and guidance, night and day...

Although it was only a year, it carried far too many memories of their family.

”Husband, will we come back here?”

Zhang Ya pursed her lips, breathed out warm air, and asked softly.

”We will.”

”In the future, when Xi Xi has grown up and her wings have hardened, and sheʼs off flying on her own, if youʼd like, Iʼll bring you back here to retire.”

Li Cheʼs voice was gentle.

Xi Xi wriggled in Li Cheʼs arms, quite dissatisfied: ”Daddyʼs talking nonsense, Xi Xiʼs wings wonʼt harden, Xi Xiʼs wings are very soft!”

”Xi Xi wants to come back to live too!”

Li Che rubbed Xi Xiʼs head: ”Got it, little shadow.”

”Humph!”

Zhang Ya immediately laughed softly.

The world was quiet, and the snowflakes fell gently.

They landed on the memory-filled black tiles and surrounding walls, and on a loquat tree planted in the courtyard, which might well be towering like a pavilion if they returned many years later.

A group of people descended the mountain.

At the gate of Divine Sect Mountain, many carriages were parked.

Nan Lihuo, Zhang Qing Zheng, Zhu Hong Dou, Weng Wuyu, and others had been waiting early.

Xi Xiʼs senior sister, Sang Guanyin, was also packed up, ready to accompany Xi Xi to the Authentic Divine Sect to cultivate.

Liu Yangyuan followed by Nan Lihuoʼs side, head hung low, looking dejected.

He had thought he would be the one to go to Dao City this time.

Because by order of precedence, it should have been his turn, but...

His master had actually chosen Sang Guanyin instead of him.

He would have to continue staying in Golden Light Prefecture...

Liu Yangyuan was somewhat uncomfortable in his heart.

But today, to see Xi Xi off on her journey, he had still come.

”Xi Xi! Do you want to share a carriage with us?”

From afar, in a massive carriage pulled by three Flood Dragon Horses, the window opened up to reveal the little heads of Gong Yuanliang and Gongyang Yu.

They cheerfully greeted Xi Xi.

That was a carriage jointly custom-made by the three noble families for the children to travel together.

It was also meant to foster relationships among them, so they could look out for each other once they arrived at Divine Sect.

”Go if you want, and when youʼre tired, come back to the carriage where your mother is,” Li Che said as he rubbed Xi Xiʼs head and set her down.

Xi Xi immediately slipped to the ground smoothly and excitedly ran over.

”Emperor Xi Xi has arrived!”

Then she leaped in, diving into the carriage, causing it to sway left and right, shaking dramatically.

There were many carriages, and the three noble families had even hired a top-tier convoy of merchants to escort them to Dao City.

Together with Jiao Shaoqiu, Lu Yao, Wang Kuyu, and other Divine Primordial True People overseeing the convoy.

This convoy headed to Dao City was naturally not something to be concerned about in terms of safety.

Li Che had arranged a luxurious carriage for his great-uncleʼs family as well. Riding such an opulent and comfortable vehicle for the first time, the great-uncle and great aunt felt somewhat uneasy.

Their hair was partially grayed, and as they looked out the window at the flying snow, the old couple seemed somewhat dazed.

They had never imagined that, after spending their whole lives in small Fei Lei City,

They would get the chance to come to Mansion City, and now, to head to Dao City – a place that would have been mentioned, at best, only a few times in their lifetimes.

Old Chen followed along with his great-uncleʼs familyʼs carriage.

Li Qingshan and Nurse Momo were in another carriage.

Shangguan Qinghong had managed to join the carriage with all the children, heading there together.

Jiao Shaoqiu was alone in his carriage, with Nie Yang in charge of driving.

Little Li Chengzhou braved the snow, wearing a small conical hat, his small face flushed with cold, insisting on driving with his master.

”Letʼs go.”

Accompanied by the convoy leaderʼs loud shout.

The many Flood Dragon Horses neighed, hooves stamped, and snowflakes burst apart.

The convoy moved slowly out of the Golden Light Sub-sectʼs gate, through the spacious cobblestone streets, under the watchful eyes of numerous citizens, slowly crushing the snow, and left the ancient city.

Among the crowd that had come to see them off,

A young man in white quietly watched the convoy leaving the city, accompanied by a dog.

On Nine Dragons River, the furious water roared without rest. Find your next read on

A large ship made of yellow dragon wood cut through the water with its oars, shattering the currents.

The heavy snow that fell from the leaden clouds turned into rain before even approaching, dissolved by the scorching Divinity in the river, splashing into the waters.

At the bow, a figure stood quietly.

He wore a Crane Robe, tall, and well-built.

Rustle, rustle...

An eagle flew in rapidly, flapping its wings.

It landed on the figureʼs shoulder.

”Information from Hunting God Pavilion?”

”Heh... indeed, the entire Golden Light Prefectureʼs arrangement of Hunting God Pavilion was destroyed, they must be quite agitated.”

”Directly mobilizing Pavilion Masters from three neighboring state cities...”

”Theyʼre as temperamental as ever.”

After removing the letter from the eagle, the robust figure skimmed through it, narrowing his eyes.

”Jiao Shaoqiu has escorted the convoy from the city... sending off promising children from the Temple God Resonance in Mansion City to Dao City.”

”It seems, the Qian Yuan Divine Sect has acquired a good Divine Child this time, not even waiting for spring to set off.”

The tall figure raised his head, his purple eyes flashing with electricity.

”Corpse God Cult, Hunting God Pavilion, I really want to see... how you alone, Jiao Shaoqiu, can withstand them?”

Inside the large shipʼs cabin,

A few figures stepped out.

”Young master.”

”The Princess Consort had us come to collect the Young Princeʼs remains... but the Hunting God Pavilion sent news, the Young Prince, the Shadow Guard, and all six Black Armored Blood Guards died, with no remains left...”
