A few years away, Zhang Tian felt a little uneasy in his heart.
After all, this was the longest he had ever been away from home since he was a child.
Because the times were different, the outside world was still quite chaotic, and the public security system was not as good as it is today.
Therefore, Zhang Tian's mother did not allow him to run around, and this time was probably the longest.
"You're about to see Mom, aren't you excited, Qilin?"
Zhang Tian looked at Zhang Qilin.
Zhang Qilin had not changed at all. He looked at Zhang Tian.
He nodded slightly.
Since regaining his emotions and memories, Zhang Qilin had changed quite a bit.
As for being the head of the Zhang family, Zhang Qilin didn't care at all.
Rather than being a meaningless clan leader, Zhang Qilin was more willing to be at Zhang Tian's house at this moment.
Zhang Qilin could feel the same warmth at Zhang Tian's place as he did beside Baima.
This was what Zhang Qilin needed.
Zhang Tian smiled.
If his mother knew that Zhang Qilin was normal, he wondered what her expression would be.
Would she be happy?
Walking on the bustling street, Zhang Tian's attire attracted a lot of attention.
Because Zhang Tian had been fighting and exploring outside, and had even clashed with the Queen Mother of the West.
At this moment, Zhang Tian's clothes had not been changed.
Zhang Tian had returned in a hurry and hadn't had the time.
For a moment, he caught the attention of some people.
On the street with people coming and going,
Countless people looked at Zhang Tian.
"Look at that person, his clothes are so tattered, and it looks like there are still signs of fighting."
"That person looks so familiar, doesn't anyone feel it?"
"This person looks a lot like young Master Zhang from the antique shop."
"How could it be young Master Zhang? It is said that young Master Zhang has been missing for several years. Alas, what a pity."
"Young Master Zhang was so capable, he must have been kidnapped by some force."
Countless people whispered.
Many people knew about Zhang Tian's disappearance.
After all, his absence from Beili City for several years led many to speculate.
Zhang Tian looked at his clothes and quickly led Zhang Qilin to a deserted corner.
Then, Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin changed into a passable set of clothes.
Only then did they walk back.
In the antique shop.
Zhang Xiangtian sat on a reclining chair, humming a little tune.
Before, he often asked Daoist Yimei to communicate with Zhang Tian through a spiritual connection.
After knowing that Zhang Tian was safe, he was much relieved.
"Ding ding."
The wind chime at the door rang.
"Zhang's Antique Shop, pick whatever you like."
Zhang Xiangtian said casually without opening his eyes.
"Dad, if you're this lax, I'm going to tell Mom."
Zhang Tian smiled and looked at his father on the reclining chair.
Zhang Xiangtian sprang up.
He stood up directly.
His eyes widened.
He even rubbed them in disbelief.
"Am I seeing things? Xiao Tian, you rascal, is that really you?"
Zhang Xiangtian was a little excited.
He couldn't wait to grab Zhang Tian and examine him carefully.
Zhang Tian stood there with a smile, letting Zhang Xiangtian touch him.
Soon, Zhang Xiangtian had touched both Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin.
Finally, he nodded with satisfaction.
"It's good that you're alright."
"Come in quickly, I'll notify your mother right away."
Zhang Xiangtian excitedly pulled Zhang Tian and the other into the house.
Soon, in the living room.
Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin sat on the sofa, and Zhang Tian looked not far away.
He felt a little nervous in his heart.
Zhang Tian wasn't sure how his mother had been recently.
Soon, a figure walked out.
But when he saw that figure, Zhang Tian's body trembled.
His eyes welled up.
He saw that Li Xueqin's hair had turned a large patch of white in just a few years.
The black and white hair made Zhang Tian's heart tremble.
Zhang Tian felt a pang of sadness.
Zhang Qilin's heart also trembled.
He looked at Zhang Tian, then at Li Xueqin, and didn't know what to say. Zhang Qilin also felt a little fortunate.
Fortunately, Zhang Tian survived. If Zhang Tian had died, how sad would she have been?
Zhang Tian took a deep breath.
"Mom."
Zhang Tian spoke.
When Li Xueqin saw Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin, she almost ran over.
"Your mother worried about you a lot, so her hair turned white quite quickly."
Zhang Xiangtian said from the side.
"Enough talk, it's good that Xiao Tian is back."
Li Xueqin glared at Zhang Xiangtian.
Zhang Xiangtian closed his mouth.
Zhang Tian and his mother embraced.
"Mom, I won't be away for so long again. I promise you."
Zhang Tian said seriously, feeling the warmth beside him.
Li Xueqin nodded seriously. She beckoned and pulled Zhang Qilin into her embrace as well.
Feeling the warmth around him.
Zhang Qilin thought of Baima.
This feeling was almost identical to Baima.
This made Zhang Qilin's heart tremble.
"Have dinner here tonight."
Li Xueqin said.
At this moment, she seemed to have lost her former assertiveness, replaced by a gentleness.
There is a saying that when a mother's or father's attitude suddenly changes, or they suddenly become meek towards you, it's not out of fear of you, but out of fear of losing you.
Zhang Tian took a breath.
"Mom, where's your old spiritedness? This makes me uncomfortable."
"And, Mom, this time I went out and got a lot of things. I'll let you have a feast for your eyes tonight."
Zhang Tian chuckled.
A mischievous smile appeared on his face.
"You rascal, I think you want a beating."
Li Xueqin saw Zhang Tian's mischievous look.
She rolled up her sleeves, her face filled with anger.
Seeing this, Zhang Tian chuckled and ran.
Li Xueqin chased after him, and the two of them wrestled in the living room.
Zhang Xiangtian shook his head with a smile.
This Xiao Tian, he's over twenty, and still so childish.
Soon, Li Xueqin ran out of strength. She waved her hand.
"Rascal, your speed is getting faster and faster."
"I'll go make dinner. You two have a good chat with your dad."
Li Xueqin said, and walked directly into the kitchen.
Zhang Tian and Zhang Qilin sat on the sofa.
Zhang Tian looked at his father.
"Dad, you seem a little different lately."
Zhang Tian smiled.
"Your father has broken through. Your mother hasn't broken through yet, so her lifespan might not be very long."
Zhang Xiangtian said suddenly.
"What? Mom hasn't broken through?"
Zhang Tian was stunned.
But the next moment, he realized something was wrong.
How did his father know about the breakthrough?
As far as Zhang Tian knew, his father and mother hadn't practiced any cultivation techniques.
And he had never understood.
Could it be that his mother and father had been hiding something from him and practicing before?
Only now did his father reveal it?
Thinking of this, Zhang Tian was relieved.
No wonder his father and mother weren't so surprised when they saw the little fox and Daoist Yimei.
The only explanation was that they were of the same kind.
Cultivators themselves.
The next moment, Zhang Xiangtian spoke again.
This time, his words stunned Zhang Tian even more.
"Xiao Tian, I know you have already started cultivating. The road ahead may be even more difficult."
Zhang Xiangtian said, and the atmosphere suddenly became a little strange.
