On a mountain surrounded by a very dense forest, there is a cave that looks big and wide on the side of the mountain. The decorations inside the cave looked like a mini palace, although it wasn't as grand as the Zhu Kingdom's palace but it still looked luxurious, and inside the cave there were several people who were discussing something glumly.
But suddenly all of them turned towards the entrance, and they smiled full of happiness, because a very beautiful young woman who had been missing for a long time suddenly appeared. They immediately stood up to their seats, and greeted the woman. "Young Miss! You're finally back!"
As for a middle-aged man sitting on the top seat smiling broadly at the young woman, he then ran downstairs, and hugged her directly. "You're finally back home, My dear daughter. How are you? I thought you couldn't escape them."
"I'm back, Father. Don't worry, I'm fine now." She hugged her father back, and they hugged each other for quite a while.
After letting go of their embrace, the middle-aged man then observed his daughter. He felt she became different after being missing for such a long time, so he pulled her to sit next to him, then he asked her. "Why does father feel that you have changed, My daughter?"
The young woman looked down shyly, she didn't know how to tell her father, and her face was bright red.
The middle-aged man saw his daughter acting like a shy girl, it convinced him that she had indeed changed, he then urged her. "Come on, tell your father. Where have you been missing all this time? And what happened to you? It's very unusual for my daughter to be so shy like this."
Unable to stand her father's whining and insistence, she finally recounted all the events of his disappearance, and at the end she said. "I've found my husband, Father. And we've done that."
The middle-aged man frowned upon hearing her last words, he then sent a voice transmission to one of the people there. 'You've heard my daughter's story, haven't you? So you know what you have to do, right?'
'Yes My Lord!' A woman answered the voice transmission, and she rushed out of the cave. Arriving outside the cave, the woman turned into a giant white crane, and flew away behind the clouds.

Murong Mansion
"When are we going back, Tian? We have to hurry back, because the journey is too far." Xia Xing asked as she leaned against Xia Tian's shoulder.
Xia Tian smiled at her. "Soon Xing'er. I still have to talk to Uncloe Murong first, this is for the betterment of our family."
Moments later, they heard the sound of running footsteps call out for him. "Big Brother Xia Tian!"
They turned in the direction of the voice, and saw Murong Yuexin running towards them. Murong Feiyan, Murong Mengxin and Lin Xue walked behind her.
"Why are you running in such a hurry Yuexin?" Xia Tian knew that Murong Yuexin was very happy to be able to walk and run again.
"Hehe. I just feel very happy, Bing Brother Xia Tian." Murong Yuexin spoke as she sat on Xia Tian's lap, and leaned herself against his chest, her father and big sister couldn't help but laugh wryly.
Xia Tian could only shake his head, as he hugged, and stroked her head gently.
Murong Feiyan then sat across from them, and said to him. "Xia Tian. If there's anything I can help you with, I'll definitely help you as best I can."
"Indeed I need uncle's help, more precisely I want to cooperate with uncle Murong." Xia Tian then handed Murong Feiyan the list of herbs and various other things she had prepared beforehand. "I want Uncle Murong to prepare everything on the list for my mother, because she needs all the ingredients to make the pills. Since we don't have our own medicine shop, I want the Thousand Treasure Palace to sell all the pills later. And we can talk about the details of our cooperation, after my mother finishes concocting the pills."
"Oh? Sister Ying started concocting pills to sell? This is really a great progress." Murong Feiyan was somewhat surprised to hear that, as he had also persuaded Liu Ying to do so before, but she had always refused.
Xia Tian nodded to him. "I advised mother to sell the pills, and I also gave her the prescriptions for the pills. I dare to guarantee that Uncle Murong has nothing to lose by cooperating with us, because the quality of the pills is far above the current quality."
Murong Feiyan's eyes lit up hearing Xia Tian's explanation, he immediately agreed without hesitation. "No problem. I will order all of the Thousand Treasure Palace's branches to collect all the items on this list. After we collect them all, then I will immediately send them to Xia Manor."
Only a madman would not accept Xia Tian's offer, because he had witnessed his wife's recovery firsthand. And also his second daughter can not only walk again, but she can also cultivate now. As a shrewd merchant, of course Murong Feiyan immediately agreed without hesitation.
"About my promise to you back then, you can tell me your wish, Young master Xia. I will definitely fulfill my promise, moreover not only my mother but you also changed my sister's future." Murong Mengxin seriously spoke to Xia Tian.
At a glance Murong Feiyan understood what his daughter had promised Xia Tian, she only smiled slightly. Murong Yuexin also looked at the two with a chuckle, then she said teasingly to Xia Tian. "Big Brother Xia Tian! Big Sister won't mind if you ask her to be your woman."
After she said that, Murong Yuexin immediately ran to hide behind her father, as she continued to laugh.
Murong Mengxin blushed brightly, because she didn't expect her little sister to say such a thing, she fell silent and just stood still looking at Xia Tian.
"I… I…" Murong Mengxin was at a loss as to how to answer his question.
"My wish is indeed what Yuexin said, but you don't need to answer now, Miss Murong." Xia Tian then stood up and spoke to Murong Feiyan. "Then excuse me, Uncle Murong. Because I have to return to Xia Manor immediately."
Hearing that, Murong Yuexin walked towards him, and she asked while tugging on Xia Tian's sleeve. "You guys are going back home today, Big Brother Xia Tian?"
Xia Tian gently stroked Murong Yuexin's head. "In a week is my coming of age ceremony, and I still have a lot of things to prepare. Anyway, you can come with your big sister to Xia Manor later, and I'll teach you many other techniques."
Murong Yuexin nodded in agreement, and said. "En. Then I will go there with big brother, and you must teach me something else, Big Brother Xia Tian."
"Don't worry, I will definitely teach you some techniques, I will also teach you alchemy if you want." Xia Tian looked at Murong Mengxin for a moment, then turned to Murong Feiyan, and nodded at him. He then grabbed Xia Xing's hand and carried him away using Void Breaking Stepny. Even though Red Stone City was very far away, their return journey would not be as long as a carriage.
"He just disappeared like that." Murong Mengxin muttered to herself.
Murong Feiyan then stood up, and held his eldest daughter's shoulders. "Do you really like Xia Tian, My daughter?"
"Yes Father. But what about that person? If he finds out, then he will definitely attack Xia Tian as well." Murong Mengxin felt indecisive because of that person.
"Haha. Why are you thinking about that person? Have you forgotten who the woman beside him is? He even dared to snatch Queen Yuhe from Emperor Hong, how could he possibly put that person in his eyes." Murong Feiyan then walked over laughing leaving her daughter dumbfounded.
Murong Yuexin chuckled at Murong Mengxin, then she said. "If you don't want to be Big Brother Xia Tian's woman, then I will be his woman when I grow up, Big Sis."
Murong Yuexin immediately ran after her father, Murong Mengxin still stood there silently without saying anything, she then looked up at the sky with a heavy sigh.
Lin Xue who was standing behind her could only shake her head, as it was the first time she had seen Murong Mengxin like that, but she didn't deny that Xia Tian was indeed the right partner for her.
