Time flies, time passes like flowing water, and in the blink of an eye, the time of January passes again.

In this month's time, Xiao Yuan and others are constantly trekking, and the distance from Haocheng is getting closer and closer, originally, Haocheng is relatively close to the location of Boulder City, and now after a month of non-stop hurrying, it is finally close at hand.

Looking at the looming city wall in the distance, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but stop, with the blood in his body that became a little boiling, his breathing was a little shorter, and in his mind, two familiar faces unconsciously appeared, those two faces made Xiao Yuan feel very warm in his heart......

"Alas, I'm back after all!" Raising his head, Xiao Yuan took a deep breath and whispered silently.

Although Xiao Yuan knew that he would not stay too long when he came back this time, and he was really just a passerby, Xiao Yuan was still very excited, and when he thought of those two familiar figures, Xiao Yuan felt an eagerness in his heart, and he couldn't wait to see those two faces......

"Alas, Xiao Yuanzi, let's go, you can see Grandpa and Ling'er's girl later. Seeing Xiao Yuan's distraction, Xiao Renqiang also smiled, and felt a lot in his heart.

After waiting for a while, Xiao Renqiang stepped forward and reached out to pat Xiao Yuan on the shoulder, "For more than a year, Ling'er has been thinking about you every day! ”

"Yes, I miss my grandfather and Ling'er very much!" Awakened by Xiao Renqiang's words, Xiao Yuan also smiled slightly, the meaning of Xiao Renqiang's words, and the hint of teasing on his face, Xiao Yuan could naturally see it, to be honest, Ling'er didn't know what Xiao Yuan wanted about her, but, for Ling'er, Xiao Yuan only regarded her as a sister now, and she hadn't reached that kind of relationship between men and women, as for why this happened, Xiao Yuan couldn't say clearly, perhaps, it was because Xiao Yuan didn't know much about men and women!

"Alright, let's go, we'll be there in another hour. Seeing Xiao Yuan's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Renqiang also sighed heavily in his heart.

More than a year ago, Xiao Yuan was just a waste who was ridiculed, but now, in less than two years, he has become a strong sword spirit! This kind of earth-shaking change is something that Xiao Renqiang can't even imagine! And now, it really appears in front of his eyes! This can not be said to be shocking! Until now, Xiao Renqiang's heart is full of irreparable shock, as if he is dreaming, and the figure of Xiao Yuan's fierce appearance has always been imprinted in Xiao Renqiang's heart!

"Alas, let's go!" shook his head, Xiao Yuan also slowly came back to his senses, calmed down the excitement in his heart, and took the lead towards the distant city......

"Xiao Yuanzi, I want to ask you something. Looking at Xiao Yuan, who was walking quickly, Xiao Renqiang said abruptly, and a look of ridicule appeared on his face.

"Big brother has something to say. Turning around and looking at Xiao Renqiang's embarrassed appearance, Xiao Yuan knew a little bit of meaning in his heart, it must be because of the Xiao family's previous attitude towards him.

In fact, for the Xiao family, Xiao Yuan does not have any resentment in his heart, on the contrary, there is some gratitude, in Xiao Yuan's heart, what is paid attention to is the care and care of Old Man Xiao and Ling'er for himself, not the ridicule and ridicule of others for himself!

After all, on this continent, people who can't cultivate are the objects of ridicule and contempt by others after all, so Xiao Yuan doesn't mind much about these, although there will inevitably be some anger in his heart, but as Xiao Yuan's surname grows, he gradually forgets it and doesn't take it to heart.

"Actually, I'm a little embarrassed to speak, that is, I hope you don't have a grudge against the Xiao family, although the Xiao family is a little ashamed of you, but I still hope that you don't hold a grudge against the Xiao family. Taking a deep breath, Xiao Ren looked at Xiao Yuan firmly and said.

"Hehe, big brother, you're joking, in fact, I don't have a problem with the Xiao family, although everyone laughs at me for being a waste, but I can also understand their feelings, in this world where strength is respected, if you can't cultivate sword qi, that's waste! Moreover, in those years, if it wasn't for my grandfather's care for me, I might have died a long time ago, and I wouldn't be where I am now, so I don't hate the Xiao family, on the contrary, I am still very grateful to the Xiao family for taking care of me. Seeing Xiao Renqiang's somewhat embarrassed appearance, Xiao Yuan smiled happily.

Hearing what Xiao Yuan said, Xiao Renqiang also laughed, with a look of relief, even in his eyes, there was an unconcealable smile, it was obvious that Xiao Yuan's words also made the last worry in Xiao Renqiang's heart blow away and no longer exist......

"Okay, with your words, the eldest brother will be relieved!haha!"

As the two of them talked, the atmosphere between everyone became cheerful, and the previously slightly gloomy atmosphere dissipated. In this atmosphere, everyone's pace also accelerated a little, and they got closer and closer to Haocheng......

..................

"Whew!"

Looking at the city gate in front of him, Xiao Yuan couldn't help but stop, took a deep breath, looked at the towering city wall, and felt deeply embarrassed in his heart, unexpectedly, after nearly two years of separation, he would finally come back again!

At the same time, countless warm pictures also popped up in my mind, and the bits and pieces of the past vaguely appeared in front of me, vividly......

Thinking back to when he left, he was just an ordinary person with no strength, and now, in just over a year, he is already the strength of the second-level sword spirit, this strength can be regarded as a strong person, looking at the entire Haocheng, there must be no sword master with this strength!

"Alas, the years are like a shuttle, and the past is like smoke!" The city wall that is still familiar and seems to have never changed for half a minute, made Xiao Yuan sigh in his heart, the current self is long gone, and Haocheng is still the same scene, nothing has changed, I just don't know if the person I have missed for a long time is not what it used to be......

"Xiao Yuanzi, let's go! I haven't seen grandpa and them for a few months, and I miss them so much!"

Seeing Xiao Yuan in a daze, Xiao Renqiang couldn't help shouting loudly, with an excited look on his face, overflowing with words, "When Grandpa and Ling'er see you, they will definitely be surprised, haha, this is a big surprise!"

"Hehe!" Looking at the excited expressions of Xiao Renqiang and everyone in the Xiao family, Xiao Yuan was also infected, looked at Xiao Renqiang and smiled, and then walked directly to the familiar city gate without rubbing.

"Young Master Xiao!" As soon as they arrived at the city gate, those guards shouted respectfully to Xiao Renqiang, and those pedestrians also looked over, and when they saw Xiao Renqiang, they all got out of the way and greeted Xiao Renqiang.

Looking at Xiao Renqiang, who was laughing and calm, Xiao Yuan also smiled happily, it is indeed rare to be able to have such determination!

At this time, Xiao Yuan felt a breath fixed on him, in this case, Xiao Yuan also quietly stopped, slowly turned around as if he was ignoring, and looked in the direction where the breath came from, only to see that in the window position of a restaurant, a middle-aged man was constantly watching his group, but there was no obvious hostility in his eyes.

Seeing this situation, Xiao Yuan also had a trace of doubt in his heart, he had just returned to Haocheng, who person or force would notice him?

Immediately, Xiao Yuan didn't think about it anymore, anyway, the person didn't show hostility, and the surname Suo didn't care about him anymore......

"Okay!Xiao Yuanzi, how about it? Do you have any ideas?" After a while, everyone also came to the outside of Xiao's house, turned around, and looked at Xiao Yuan, who seemed a little quiet, Xiao Renqiang couldn't help but ask with a smile.

Okay, big brother, there's nothing to say now, let's go in, let's talk about it when we see grandpa and Ling'er. Hearing Xiao Renqiang's words, Xiao Yuan also smiled helplessly and shook his head.

"Young Master, you're back, something happened to the family! The old family master is discussing in the lobby, I'll go in and report it!" Seeing everyone step forward, several guards in front of the mansion suddenly became nervous, but when they saw that it was Xiao Renqiang, the nervousness on their faces turned into joy.

"What! what's wrong?" Hearing the guard's words, Xiao Renqiang was stunned at first, but then he was startled, and asked eagerly.

"This, I can't say it clearly for a while, young master, you better go in and meet the old master!" Hearing this, the guard also looked gloomy, and he only promised to be authentic.

Turning his head, looking at Xiao Yuan, who was bowing his head and contemplating but with a gloomy face, Xiao Renqiang couldn't help but hurriedly turn around and step towards the gate......
