Chapter 908: Moongaze Li Family (II)
Lijing Town.
The lakeside dam bustled with activity as the great ship docked at the shore. Bathed in sunlight, it cast a wide shadow that enveloped the crowd below. Everyone on the ground looked up at it.
An old man stood before the ship, extending his one remaining arm. His aged face was relaxed as he watched the people boarding. Cultivators nearby were all busy seeing others off, but no one urged him.
It was only when everyone had boarded that a white-robed cultivator descended from the sky on a breeze. He carried a spear on his back, and his striking features made him stand out.
Landing on the ship’s prow, he cupped his hands toward the old man and greeted, "Elder Qiuyang!"
Li Qiuyang waved his one arm, signaling An Siwei not to fuss. He gave a slow smile and said in a hoarse voice, "Your father is due to return from the desert around now. It’s a good occasion for a reunion."
An Zheyan’s punishment hadn’t been severe. He had merely been sent to the desert, and the fine of spirit stones and spirit paddies had been burdensome but not crippling for the An Family. An Siwei nodded respectfully, clearly pleased.
The two spoke for a while before a few cultivators aboard the ship approached to greet them. They were originally there to report to An Siwei, but upon recognizing him, they became especially courteous.
"So it's the elder!"
Li Qiuyang stroked his beard with his single arm. Though he seldom spoke, his status was by no means low.
