Chapter 1266 The Fire Qilin is Getting Old Too
Xu Changshou glanced at the young woman and found that she was a very dignified woman, clearly someone who had long held a high position.
There was a hint of familiarity in the woman's expression.
"Er Ya, don't you recognize me?" Xu Changshou recognized the woman and greeted her with a smile.
"you……"
Wang Erya looked at Xu Changshou carefully, and when her gaze fell on Xu Changshou's face, she showed a look of fear.
They hurriedly led their men to the doorway, knelt before Xu Changshou, and kowtowed to him.
"Er Ya greets the founding grandfather!"
Upon hearing Wang Erya's words, the dozen or so cultivators at the Integration Realm behind her were immediately thrown into a panic, instantly realizing the identity of the newcomer.
The young man before them was none other than their ancestor, Xu Changshou.
"Greetings, Grandfather!"
"Greetings, Ancestor!"
"Greetings, Grandfather Liezu!"
"Greetings, Great Ancestor..."
More than a dozen cultivators at the Integration Realm kowtowed one after another.
"Ok!"
Xu Changshou nodded secretly. The Xu family was doing well, with so many more cultivators at the Integration Realm.
"Not bad, not bad, the Xu family is doing well!" Xu Changshou said with satisfaction.
Wang Erya laughed and said, "Grandpa, these people are only a part of the Xu family. Our Xu family has more than 30 Nascent Soul cultivators outside, some in the Canghai Sect and some who have gone out."
"Good good!"
Xu Changshou was overjoyed.
The Xu family is doing even better than he imagined.
"Where is Xu Donghe?" Xu Changshou asked.
At this time, Xu Donghe was in his prime, and he should be the head of the Xu family, not Wang Erya.
Wang Erya respectfully replied, "Reporting to our great-grandfather, our great-great-grandfather is looking after the shop."
Seeing that Xu Changshou didn't speak, Wang Erya added, "In the past, our Xu family was managed by Grandfather He. As the family grew and the business became bigger, Grandfather He couldn't handle it all by himself. So, Grandfather Yuanzu asked Grandfather He to take care of the business, and I took over the family affairs."
"Ok!"
Xu Changshou nodded slightly. The great-grandfather Wang Erya mentioned was Xu Xiufan.
Xu Changshou glanced at Wang Erya and asked in a low voice, "Where are your other great-great-grandfathers?"
The other great-great-grandfathers Xu Changshou asked about referred to Xu Dongtian and his nine siblings.
Wang Erya whispered, "They've all passed away."
Upon hearing this, Xu Changshou couldn't help but feel a tremor in his heart. Although he already knew the outcome, he still couldn't help but feel sad when he actually received the news of their passing.
Xu Dongtian and the others were his great-grandchildren. Although they did not meet often, their kinship remained.
All nine of them were cultivators at the Nascent Soul stage, with only two thousand years of lifespan.
I've been away from home for almost two thousand years now. After such a long time, they must have passed away.
"Where is Xiu Fan?" Xu Changshou asked, composing himself.
Wang Erya said, "My great-grandfather isn't in the city; he's planted a thousand acres of tea gardens outside the city..."
Growing tea...
Xu Changshou smiled slightly. Based on his understanding of Xiu Fan, it wasn't surprising that the boy was going to grow tea.
"Where is Ling'er?" Xu Changshou asked Li Ling'er one last time.
Wang Erya said, "Grandma Li lives in the Xu family's old house. She moved in a hundred years ago and has never left the house."
"Ok!"
Xu Changshou nodded slightly. Li Ling'er was about to pass away, and she had moved into the Xu family's old house, clearly to await her death.
"I'm going to the Xu family's old residence. Please inform Xiu Fan and have him come to the Xu family's old residence to see me."
"Respect the law!"
Xu Changshou vanished in a flash, disappearing right before Wang Erya and the others' eyes.
"Oh my God!"
"so fast!"
"As expected of our great-grandfather!"
Wang Erya and the others were all dumbfounded.
It seems that the legendary ancestor was far more powerful than they had imagined.
"Immediately notify everyone that any cultivator in the Xu family at the Integration Realm must return to the clan within ten days."
"Respect the law!"
"Hurry, hurry, let's go home, Grandpa is back."
"Go home quickly and pay your respects to your great-grandfather."
"Great-grandfather..."
Soon, everyone in the Xu family learned that Xu Changshou had returned home.
For the Xu family, Xu Changshou's return home was tremendous news.
Wang Erya was very discreet in her actions, only allowing cultivators at the Integration Realm to return and pay their respects to their ancestor, while not allowing anyone else to see them.
After all, there are too many Xu family members now, and the patriarch can't possibly meet everyone.
Xu Changshou's figure soon appeared in the sky above the Xu family's old house.
Since the Xu family moved to the east of the city, this old house has been vacant. The Xu family is not short of money, so they have not sold it.
It wasn't until a hundred years ago that Li Ling'er moved into the Xu family's old house.
Upon entering the airspace above the old house, the first thing Xu Changshou saw was not Li Ling'er, but the Fire Qilin.
At this moment, the Fire Qilin lay lazily on a recliner in the backyard, its once fiery red hair now completely white, looking old and frail.
Xu Changshou moved his feet, passed through the protective formation, and came directly to the side of the Fire Qilin.
Seeing the Fire Qilin's appearance, Xu Changshou couldn't help but tear up: "Old friend, you're getting old too."
Upon hearing Xu Changshou's voice, the Fire Qilin slowly opened its eyes, its aged gaze filled with vicissitudes.
Upon seeing that it was Xu Changshou, the Fire Qilin's cloudy eyes were filled with excitement, and it was too excited to speak.
That's right, the Fire Qilin is really old. Although demon cultivators have a longer lifespan than humans, there is still a limit.
The Fire Qilin is older than Xuan Yang, and even Xu Changshou doesn't know its exact age.
However, judging from the current situation, the Fire Qilin probably doesn't have much time left.
"Uncle Xu, you're finally back!"
Before he could finish speaking, tears streamed down the Fire Qilin's face.
It wasn't just Li Ling'er who returned with Xu Changshou coiled up; the Fire Qilin also returned with Xu Changshou coiled up.
Li Ling'er and the Fire Qilin both came from the Eastern Immortal Realm. In their eyes, their only remaining relatives were Xu Changshou and Xu Xiufan.
"Brother Changshou, is that you back?"
A weak voice suddenly rang out behind Xu Changshou.
Xu Changshou turned around and saw a slender figure standing not far away, which was Li Ling'er.
At this time, Li Ling'er did not look old; she appeared to be in her thirties. The only change was that she was thin, the kind of thin that was skin and bones.
Female nuns are good at maintaining their health, and some show no signs of aging until the moment they pass away.
Although Li Ling'er looks young, the signs of old age are undeniable.
"It's you, Brother Changshou! It's you! I've finally waited for you to come back!"
Upon recognizing Xu Changshou, Li Ling'er couldn't stop her tears. She staggered towards him.
Upon approaching, he grabbed Xu Changshou's hand.
Xu Changshou used his long, slender hand to grasp Lin Ling'er's slender hand in return.
At this moment, Li Ling'er's palms were ice-cold, and her fingers were as hard as bone, no longer possessing their former delicate and lively appearance.
"Ling'er, my Ling'er!"
Xu Changshou felt sorry for Li Ling'er and hugged her tightly.
"Brother Changshou, you're finally back! It's so good!"
At this moment, Li Ling'er felt a warmth she had never felt before.
