Chapter 558: Request
"Oh," Li Xuanxuan responded somewhat dejectedly.
He straightened his sleeves and sat on the mountain for a while, watching the two juniors chat. Feeling a bit restless, he decided to resume drawing talismans. The two juniors saw him off as he left.
Li Ximing sighed in relief and said, "Grandfather seems to be in better spirits now…"
Li Xijun nodded in agreement and responded softly, "Although the old man's cultivation isn't high, he's experienced much in his life. He's able to answer our questions now, especially on matters we thought had been buried in the sands of time. Seeing him in good spirits truly brings us some relief."
The two walked side by side. Li Ximing, dressed in a lavish golden Daoist robe, paused for a moment before speaking softly.
"I've only heard that Second Granduncle is a phenomenal archer, unrivaled in the world. With his golden bow, he's capable of great feats. If he can return, our home will be well-protected."
"I think that's unlikely. It's not easy for anyone to leave the southern border permanently," Li Xijun replied with a hint of thoughtfulness in his tone.
By the time both of them were born, Li Xuanfeng had already left for the southern border. Since Li Xijun had never met him, his understanding of this Second Granduncle was based on family records and stories from the elders.
Unlike Li Xuanxuan, his joy mostly stemmed from the idea that the family might finally have an elder in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Realm. Now that he had calmed down and his initial excitement had faded away, he began reflecting thoughtfully on the situation.
