Chapter 376 – Back Home
Yu Sui’an shut her eyes, sitting quietly on Li Guanqi’s shoulders. Her small hands clung to his ears. Though her once-round face had thinned, she was still as endearing as ever. She couldn’t stop grinning, as if she were the happiest person in the world.
Li Guanqi’s heart swelled with emotion. After so long wandering the world alone, he could finally rest. The peace that came with being home allowed him to lower his guard at last. Within the Daxia Sword Sect, there was nothing to fear. He had people he could truly rely on.
As they headed toward Heavenly Lightning Peak, countless disciples stopped to bow. Li Guanqi’s eyes brightened, and a smile curved his lips.
Li Guanqi gazed at his courtyard, which looked just as he’d left it. It was well kept, and someone had clearly been cleaning it regularly.
“Little Bao, have you missed me?”
Yu Sui’an was resting her head on his. She opened one eye and grabbed his ears again. She grinned and said, “Of course I did! I’ve missed you every single day.”
Li Guanqi chuckled. Two years have passed since we last saw each other. She’s grown taller, and her cultivation...
He couldn’t help but gently channel a wisp of vital force into her body, guiding it through her meridians in a smooth circuit.
Watching him, Li Nanting smiled. “Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong with her. Her cultivation’s just progressing a little faster than most.”
Then, with a wink, he sent a voice transmission to Li Guanqi. “This little one is the Daxia Sword Sect’s second disciple with a Saint Spirit Root, though hers is of the water type.”
Li Guanqi raised his brows in mild surprise. He hadn’t expected her to be so talented. A smile flickered across his face, though it was unclear what he was thinking about.
Creak.
