Chapter 502: Holy Crap! The Young Master Ran Away!

After everyone finished the welcome banquet at the Dongji Sea City Government, they all returned to their respective homes.

Baili Dongjun and Si Kong Changfeng took the Xueyue City Disciples back to Xueyue City. Song Yanhui took Wushuang, Lu Yu Zhai, and the Wushuang City Disciples back to Wushuang City. The three Lei brothers—Lei Yunhe, Lei Hong, and Lei Qianhu—took the Lei Family Fortress Disciples back to the Lei Family Fortress. Tang Lianyue took the Tang Sect Disciples back to the Tang Sect.

Mu Chunfeng did not return to the Mu Family; instead, he happily scurried after Yu Xian and the others, wanting to drink with Yang Guo and the rest, ask for guidance on Martial Arts, and then discuss medical skills with Wan Chunliu.

After the Mu Family’s eldest brother recovered, he completely let himself go.

Xiao Se and White King Xiao Chong returned to Apocalypse City with their personal guards, joined by the Four Guardians of Apocalypse: Lei Wujie, Tang Lian, Si Kong Qianluo, and Ji Xue.

Yu Xian, meanwhile, took The Women and the people of Xue Luo Manor, along with Wu Xin and his two Protectors, back to Xue Luo Manor.

Although only dozens of them remained compared to when they first set out, it was still very lively and not at all depressing.

They returned to Xue Luo Manor amidst laughter and conversation.

Having been away for half a year, Xue Luo Manor remained the same, showing no signs of decline despite their absence.

The bluestone paths in the courtyard were swept clean, the flowers and plants on both sides were neatly trimmed, and several old locust trees were still lush and leafy, casting dense green shade.

Even though they were away, servants still lived in Xue Luo Manor, along with… Noble Consort Yi!

When Yu Xian and the others arrived at the manor gate, Noble Consort Yi was already there with the servants to greet them. Seeing everyone return, Noble Consort Yi first glanced at Yu Xian and then began searching for her son in the crowd.

Seeing that Wu Xin was safe and sound, her heart finally settled. She led the servants in offering a bow to Yu Xian and then welcomed everyone into the manor.

Yu Xian only nodded slightly to Noble Consort Yi before letting everyone disperse, while he took The Women back to his own courtyard.

After everyone had rested and freshened up, the victory banquet began that night!

In the spacious courtyard of Xue Luo Manor, six tables were set up.

Yu Xian sat at the main table, surrounded by Ning Zhongze, Huang Rong, Little Dragon Girl, Li Mochou, Li Qingluo, Yao Yue, Dongfang Bai, Wu Xingyun, and Li Hanyi—ten people at one table. The rest of The Women, along with Noble Consort Yi, occupied two more tables.

Among the four children, Yu Anling was clinging to Yu Xian, Yu Xiangling was clinging to Pharmacist Huang, while Yu Chenning and Yu Chenrong obediently stayed by Zhang Sanfeng’s side. These five, along with Wu Xin, Mo Qixuan, and Zi Yuji, shared a table.

The rest, including Xiao Feng and his group along with Mu Chunfeng, took up two tables.

As the banquet began, Yu Xian hoisted Yu Anling onto his shoulders, raised his wine cup toward Zhang Sanfeng, Xiao Feng, and the others, and said, “Brothers, I have only one thing to say: we have finally settled down here!”

Hearing this, everyone’s expression changed, and Little Fish was the first to shout, “Long live Master!”

“Long live the Young Master!” Lu Xiaofeng, Chu Liuxiang, and the others immediately followed with their own shouts!

This was because everyone knew exactly what Yu Xian meant by “finally settled down.”

They were not originally from this world; they were outsiders who had come across time and space. Thus, they had faced heavy challenges from the moment they arrived, having fought their way through everything.

Now, their Beyond the Heavens and their Xue Luo Manor were places no one dared to provoke; they had truly established themselves in this world.

If not for Yu Xian, they would still be stagnating in their original worlds, where it was difficult to advance in the Martial Arts. Although it couldn’t be said that they had heaven-defying cultivation now, they were already at the top in this world. Their path of the Martial Arts now had a clear goal.

This victory banquet was not just to celebrate their triumphant return from conquering Dongying, but more so to celebrate their true integration and establishment in this world!

Zhang Sanfeng stroked his beard and smiled at the scene, his heart full of gratification. Looking at Yu Xian’s current steady and composed demeanor, and then recalling the youth who had just entered the Jianghu when they first met, it felt like a lifetime ago.

Now, Xue Luo Manor was full of talent. There were Jianghu heroes like Xiao Feng and Li Xunhuan, intelligent women like Ning Zhongze and Huang Rong, and even lively jokers like Little Fish and Lu Xiaofeng to add to the fun. It had truly become a large family.

“Come, to us, cheers!” Yu Xian was the first to drain his cup!

“To us, cheers!”

Whether it was The Women, Zhang Sanfeng, Xiao Feng’s group, or even the four little ones, everyone raised their cups and drank them dry!

Wu Xin and Mu Chunfeng didn’t quite understand the underlying meaning of Yu Xian’s words, but they could clearly feel the emotional intensity of the people from Xue Luo Manor, and they were swept up in the mood!

It didn’t matter if they didn’t understand; they just had to drink!

“Today, we drink until we’re drunk!” Yu Xian added.

“Good! Drink until we’re drunk!” everyone echoed in unison.

Immediately, everyone cast aside their restraint and began to drink heartily. Gradually, two battlefields formed: one for The Women and one for the men.

Yu Xian was naturally pulled over to drink with Xiao Feng and the others, everyone drinking freely and without reservation.

The crisp sound of clinking cups rose and fell, reflecting the lights filling the courtyard and pushing the atmosphere to a climax. After several rounds of wine and courses of food, everyone’s faces were flushed with a hint of drunkenness, but their spirits remained high.

Yu Xian was forced to drink quite a bit. Perhaps because everyone’s nerves had been tight since coming to this world, or perhaps because Yu Xian’s status was right there, they had never truly cut loose. Now that they had the chance, they had no intention of letting Yu Xian off easily.

How could Yu Xian not know what his brothers were up to? But how could he let them have their way? So, while Lu Xiaofeng and the others were off guard, he flickered away and vanished from everyone’s sight with The Women.

“Holy crap! The Young Master ran away!” By the time Lu Xiaofeng snapped out of it, Yu Xian and The Women were already long gone.

Immediately, everyone erupted into laughter at Yu Xian’s escape, and then they continued eating and drinking, not truly taking his flight to heart.

However, at the place where The Women had originally been sitting, Noble Consort Yi was now left all alone, looking somewhat pitiful.

Noble Consort Yi was also at a loss. She knew Yu Xian must have taken The Women back to the Small World, but she hadn’t expected him to be so sudden and leave her behind…

“Mother, let me take you back.” Wu Xin saw his mother’s awkward situation, so he walked to Noble Consort Yi’s side and offered to escort her back.

Noble Consort Yi looked at Wu Xin and nodded.

“Mother, do whatever you want to do. You don’t need to worry about me. In the past, your life wasn’t in your own hands, but from now on, no one can limit your freedom. I hope that in the future, you can live for yourself,” Wu Xin said seriously to Noble Consort Yi on the way back.

Noble Consort Yi did not speak, but continued walking in silence, seemingly pondering Wu Xin’s words.

Even after Wu Xin escorted Noble Consort Yi to her room, she still hadn’t said a word.

Finally, before leaving, Wu Xin performed a Buddhist salute and said, “Mother, life is short. Enjoy it while you can!”

Then, he turned and left.

Noble Consort Yi gazed at Wu Xin’s departing back, who knew what she was thinking.
