Swish!!!
After finishing telling Dong-Kuang, Zheng-Fu only spent a day returning to his clan at high speed. When he arrived, all the guards at the door greeted him. These guards were all inner disciples of the Beyond Earth Sect.
They took the sect's daily missions to guard here to earn points because at the time when the assassins invaded the Tian-Tang Clan, quite a few mercenaries and clan members were killed, so they hired the sect's disciples as guards instead.
Of course, they were willing to take on this role. Not only because they would get points, but the mission was also easy. They would get three points by just guarding the Tian-Tang clan for a day. And one point could be exchanged for one piece of intermediate Qi energy stone.
Wasting a day in exchange for three intermediate Qi energy stones was a great value for them. If they did not accept to do this task, it would be considered stupid. Therefore, when they saw Zheng-Fu, they bowed politely and respectfully.
After passing through the entrance to the clan, Zheng-Fu immediately returned to his residence because his mother was there right now. As for his father, he was at the clan's main mansion. Therefore, Zheng-Fu thought of coming to see his mother first.
"Little Zheng!!!"
As soon as Zheng-Fu's feet landed in front of the door, Tang-Ling, Zheng-Fu's mother, could sense her son's arrival. So, she let out a loud shout and ran out of her room with a happy smile.
"Mother," Zheng-Fu let out a soft but very warm voice when he saw his mother running towards him and hugging him.
"You must be tired from your journey. Let's get inside. I'll cook for you now," Tang-Ling was very happy to see Zheng-Fu's face. She hurriedly pulled Zheng-Fu into the house and prepared the food.
"Yes, Mother." Even if Zheng-Fu was not hungry, he would definitely not reject his mother. He responded with a warm smile before following her into the house.
"Mother, it seems that your energy level is much higher than before?" Zheng-Fu looked through his mother's energy level and saw that it had increased greatly. She was now at the fifth level of the Nascent Soul stage and could be considered one of the great martial masters.
"It's all because of you. If I didn't get any resources from you, how can I advance to this level? But I'm old now and can only advance to this extent, unlike your father. With his talent for martial cultivation, his energy level has already reached the Immortal stage," Tang-Ling smiled happily as she talked about it.
"Father has advanced to the Immortal stage? How wonderful. I thought that Father was still stuck at the Nascent Soul stage and was weaker than Mother!" Zheng-Fu said with a grin on the corner of his mouth and loudly stressed his final words. That was because he knew that his father had returned but did not want to show up.
"You ungrateful son!!! Me!? Weaker than your mother!!? If I were weaker than your mother, I would be beaten by her every day!"
Suddenly, Kong-Shi's voice rang out as his figure rushed towards Zheng-Fu with his palm outstretched. But just as Kong-Shi's palm reached Zheng-Fu, it first collided with the transparent energy barrier, causing Kong-Shi's body to bounce back.
Screech!!!
"The Divine Emperor stage is very strong," Kong-Shi said, holding his chest and coughing once. It was because of the reflection of Zheng-Fu 's energy just now. However, he did not suffer any injuries because Zheng-Fu forced the energy to fade away.
"Not that much, Father. But attacking people on the back without them knowing like this isn't very good. What if it was someone else?" said Zheng-Fu, smiling provocatively at his father.
"Tsk! Do you think I'm stupid, son? I wouldn't be foolish enough to attack someone whose energy level is higher than mine if he's not my son," Kong-Shi said while stretching his chest, walking over to Zheng-Fu with an indifferent expression and pretending to raise his hand to pat Zheng-Fu's head but instead knocking his head.
Bam!!!
Ouch!!!
"Why are you knocking on my head, Father?" Zheng-Fu pretended to be ignorant and hurt his head as well. In fact, he did not feel any pain at all.
Tsk!
Ha ha ha!
"You two father and son are playing like children. Well, let's go inside. I'll go cook your favorite food for you two," Tang-Ling laughed heartily as she saw the two of them playing together because it reminded her of their family's past day.
Before, they hardly had such a peaceful time. Whenever Zheng-Fu came back to the clan, he was always busy at work. Kong-Shi, too, had to take care of the clan all the time, so he did not have much free time.
But today, everyone had come together again, making her very happy to see this picture. But at that moment, an image of a person appeared in her head. The owner of that image was Qi-Fu-Er, the beautiful girl who had been with her the whole time.
"Qi-Er!"
Huh...?
Once Tang-Ling accidentally said the name Qi-Fu-Er, Zheng-Fu's expression changed. His smile disappeared and he had a sad expression instead. Kong-Shi noticed that his son was not feeling well. Tang-Ling too could clearly see Zheng-Fu's bad expression on his face.
"Little Zheng, I know that you are worried about Qi-Er. But can you tell me where she went?" Tang-Ling knew that her question would hurt Zheng-Fu even more, but she also wanted to know why things became like this.
"Sigh... Let's go inside first, and I'll tell you the whole story," Zheng-Fu let out a long sigh and decided to tell his parents the whole story about what happened and the true identity of Qi-Fu-Er.
The three of them immediately walked inside. There were three maids in the house; all of them were close underlings of his mother. And there was another servant who was a close subordinate of Kong-Shi's. They were all over thirty years old and were not cultivators either.
The maids helped Tang-Ling cook in the kitchen. As for the servant, he went to set up a bedroom for Zheng-Fu while Zheng-Fu and Kong-Shi sat and waited in the hall of the residence.
An hour passed...
Finally, the food that Tang-Ling made was finished. The maids immediately brought the food to the dining table and arranged the dishes neatly before scooping up the food and leaving the room because Zheng-Fu did not want anyone else to know about the story except his parents.
"The reason I haven't told Father and Mother where Qi-Er went was that I still couldn't calm my mind. But now I'm alright, so I'll tell you everything that happened. First of all, I have to say that Qi-Er is not a full human being like us."
Huh!?
"She's not a full human being like us!!? How is that possible? Well, she... Ouch!!!"
"Dear, listen to our son to the end first."
"I'm sorry. Continue, son."
"Ahem! I said she isn't human because she's from the Monster Tribe…"
Monster Tribe!!!
Ouch!!!
"I'm sorry. You can keep going," Kong-Shi was too shocked, accidentally shouting out loud again and again. But he was pinched by Tang-Ling, causing him to regain consciousness.
"She's from the Monster Tribe and is over a hundred years old. She's here because she was kidnapped, and I saved her. I've never told anyone this secret before. Then I took her out of the clan. I thought I'd take Qi-Er on a tour of the outside world. But something unexpected happened to us and caused us to separate..."
"While we were traveling, we stumbled upon three huge monster beasts. Their energy level was much higher than mine. I thought she and I would definitely not survive. But it turns out that the three monster beasts were from the Monster Tribe. They were looking for her and trying to get her back."
Zheng-Fu said with clenched fists at the thought of his weakness at that time before he calmed down and continued, "Because of that incident, I've been trying to find a way to go see her and bring her back here. And I finally found that method, the method to get me to her and bring her back. But I can't go now because I'm not strong enough.
So, in another month, I'll enter closed-door cultivation to cultivate higher energy levels. And I come to see Father and Mother before entering closed-door cultivation."
"This is very important. Try not to let anyone know. If they find out that we are in contact with the Monster Tribe, the entire continent will definitely be our enemy." After Kong-Shi heard Zheng-Fu's story, he realized that this matter was vital because the rule of this continent was not to have any relationship with the Demon Tribe and Monster Tribe.
"I understand, father. I'll never tell anyone. Wait for me to be stronger. Until then, if anyone thinks of being hostile to me and thinking badly of my family and clan, I'll kill them all!" Zheng-Fu firmly nodded in response because he also knew this rule very well.
However, once he had enough strength and had reached a high level, by then he would not be afraid of anyone. Of course, he alone would not be able to protect everyone, so Zheng-Fu tried to create skilled martial artists as much as possible.
After talking, the three of them sat happily eating together before dispersing to rest. Zheng-Fu asked to go back to his room first because he still had a few things to do before starting closed-door cultivation.
He did not know how long it would take. It could take as little as a month or as long as a month and a half for him to absorb all the energy from the things he had prepared. Therefore, at that moment, Zheng-Fu had to make sure that nothing unexpected would happen to his people.
In order to be able to cultivate with peace of mind, Zheng-Fu thought of creating advanced spell talismans for his parents and others to activate in emergencies.
