Chapter 1255 Returning to the Tian Family
"The Azure Dragon Family! What are they doing in the outside world?" Xi Meili asked, her expression filled with disbelief as she turned to Dong Ye for answers.
Dong Ye wore a puzzled expression. "I... don't understand."
Yuan cleared his throat and began to explain the situation, recounting what had transpired between the Xi Family and the Azure Dragon Family.
"I understand the situation now. Thank you, my liege," Dong Ye acknowledged. "To answer your question, no, they are not the same Azure Dragon Family as the one you encountered."
Xi Meili remained suspicious. "Really? Are you sure?"
"Of course. The Azure Dragon Family I am referring to consists of only half-dragons. They might share a similar bloodline, but that's the extent of their connection," Dong Ye explained.
"A similar bloodline?" Xi Meili raised an eyebrow.
Dong Ye nodded and continued, "It's not as if the entire dragon race entered the Ancient Dragon City. The Azure Dragon Family is a large clan, and they left some of their own people behind— the current Azure Dragon Family."
"In fact, if I recall correctly, there's also a Xi Family out here," Dong Ye added.
"Eh?" Xi Meili's eyes widened with surprise upon learning this information.
"Where?" she then asked.
"Fifth Heaven."
"Is that so…" Xi Meili muttered with a pondering face.
"Where is this Liang Xiaosheng at the moment?" Yuan inquired.
"Unfortunately, I don't have the answer at the moment. But rest assured my liege, I will locate him for you," Dong Ye assured him.
"Thank you."
"Then, whenever you are ready to leave." Dong Ye said.
"I am ready to leave now."
"Then if you'll excuse me."
Dong Ye waved his sleeves, and in the blink of an eye, their scenery changed. Before Yuan knew it, he was no longer inside the wooden cabin but right outside an unknown city.
"This humble servant will contact you when I find Liang Xiaosheng, my liege. Until then." Dong Ye disappeared like a ghost afterward.
"The God Ascension realm is truly something…" Xi Meili muttered in a daze.
"Brother Yuan…" Xiao Hua, who had been silent this entire time, suddenly called out to him.
"Yes?" he looked at her.
"You want to open the Primordial Realm? Why?" she asked.
Yuan pondered for a moment before responding, "Honestly, I'm not too sure myself. However, I have this feeling that I need to meet the Asura Clan, as they are connected with the Evil God— my past. Furthermore, your family is there, Xiao Hua."
"Unless… you don't want me to go?"
Xiao Hua shook her head, "That's not it. If Brother Yuan wants to visit the Primordial Realm, I will support it."
"Thank you, Xiao Hua."
Yuan and his group entered the city shortly after, arriving at the teleporter about an hour later.
Sometime later, Yuan returned to Tian Chenyu's home.
Before approaching the home, Yuan turned to look at Xi Meili and asked her, "Do you want to look around the city? I have some business with the family here, and things might get a little chaotic."
"Are they your enemy?" Xi Meili cracked her knuckles with a fighting spirit.
"No, they're friends."
"Since I don't know them, I'll take a look around the city until you are done instead. Will it take long?"
"I don't believe so," Yuan replied, then said, "Feng Feng, can you accompany her just in case?" Feng Yuxiang sighed but agreed, "Eh? I don't want to babysit her... But if the Young Master wants me to do so, I will."
"Thank you."
Since they would be traveling together, Yuan hoped to improve Feng Yuxiang and Xi Meili's relationship. While they didn't have any issues with each other, the inherent differences in their natures as a phoenix and a dragon naturally made things awkward between them.
The gates opened a moment later, revealing a familiar old lady who immediately recognized Yuan.
After Feng Yuxiang left with Xi Meili, Yuan took a deep breath and approached the Tian Family. He knocked on their gates and waited.
The gates opened a moment later, revealing a familiar old lady who immediately recognized Yuan.
She exclaimed, "Y-You are!"
"Hello," Yuan greeted her with a calm smile.
"You're actually alive! What took you so long to come back?! Do you have any idea what the Young Lady has been through recently because of you?!" the old lady suddenly scolded him without hesitation.
"I am truly sorry, but something happened within the Nameless Emperor's Tomb, delaying my return." Yuan apologized, and he continued by asking, "Is Miss Yanyu here right now?"
"Who are you talking to?" Another familiar voice suddenly resounded from inside the house.
"Mistress…" The old lady moved away from the door so Tian Suyin could see Yuan's face.
Tian Suyin's face froze for a moment, but then she started trembling in anger. She exclaimed, "You bastard! You still have the guts to show your face around here?! Why couldn't you have continued being 'missing'?"
Despite her harsh words, Tian Suyin had also been worried about his well-being for the past week, so her anger was mixed with relief.
"I apologize for returning so late," Yuan said sincerely. "I was stuck in the Nameless Emperor's Tomb and couldn't return until now."
'He was trapped inside the tomb? That silly girl was actually right…' Tian Suyin was in disbelief after realizing that Tian Yanyu had proved her wrong.
After snapping out of her daze, Tian Suyin cleared her throat and said to him in a calming voice, "Why are you still standing there? Hurry up and come inside before I close the gates on you."
Yuan didn't say anything else and entered the residence before following Tian Suyin.
"Do you have any idea how worried you made my daughter? She's been depressed since we returned." Tian Suyin suddenly said.
"Sorry…" Yuan didn't know what else to say and could only apologize again.
He also noticed that they were heading to Tian Yanyu's room.
Sometime later, they arrived at Tian Yanyu's room.
"I'll be in the lobby." Tian Suyin said, and without saying anything else, she turned around and walked away.
Yuan took a deep breath as he stood in front of Tian Yanyu's door, preparing to knock.
However, just as he was about to knock, his movements halted when he heard the sound of someone stomping on the ground.
Dong! Dong! Bang!
Before he could react, the door slammed open, and Tian Yanyu appeared before him with a dazed look on her face.
"Xiao Yang! You're alive! I knew it!" Without any hesitation, Tian Yanyu leaped onto him, wrapping her arms around him in a tight embrace.
The two of them tumbled to the floor.
Yuan smiled and said with one arm wrapped around her, "Since we're back, you can call me Yuan again."
