A few days passed in the blink of an eye.
After ten years, Fang Yuan finally saw his hometown where he grew up.
After knocking on the familiar door, a middle-aged servant was stunned for a moment when he saw him. He then reacted.
“Second… Second Young Master?”
“Uncle Fu, it’s me. I’m back.”
Fang Yuan smiled. “How are Father and Mother?”
“Both of them are well.”
Uncle Fu wiped away the tears from the corner of his eyes. Suddenly, he slapped his forehead and quickly moved aside. “Second Young Master, come in quickly and sit in the inner hall. I’ll go and report to master and the others.”
“No need. I’ll go by myself. Where are Father and Mother?”
“They should be resting in the backyard at this time. Second Young Master, this old servant will take you there.”
“Okay.”
Fang Yuan said goodbye to Uncle Fu and went to the backyard.
After so many years, he finally saw his biological parents in this world again.
His father looked a little fat, but he was still in good spirits.
His mother was dressed like a noblewoman. She held his hand and accompanied him by the side, admiring the beautiful scenery in the yard.
“Father, mother!”
Fang Yuan shouted excitedly.
“Cheng’er? Why are you back so early? Have you settled the matters in the shop?”
Father Fang did not turn around.
Mother Fang seemed to have sensed the slight difference in his voice and turned around abruptly.
“Yuan’er?”
Tears immediately filled her eyes.
Father Fang was stunned for a moment before he turned around. The moment he saw Fang Yuan, surprise and joy surged into his heart.
Fang Yuan took a few steps forward and knelt on the ground. “This child is unfilial. Greetings, father and mother.”
As if returning to the world after death, his heart was filled with gratitude and respect for his parents in this lifetime.
Mother Fang left Father Fang behind and took a few steps forward. She extended her trembling hands and gently caressed Fang Yuan’s face.
“Good… good… It’s good that you’re back. It’s good that you’re back…”
Mother Fang’s voice was choked with sobs as she looked at Fang Yuan’s resolute face. Her tears turned into a smile. “You child, after being away for so many years, you’ve really learned some manners.”
Fang Yuan laughed, but did not say anything.
He was not a person who followed rules.
However, in Gu Immortal Sect, he had to know how to endure.
If he acted like when he was a young master at home, doing whatever he wanted, he would not even know how he died.
“Father, how is the family business?”
“Everything is fine.”
Father Fang stroked his beard and gave Uncle Fu a look.
Uncle Fu immediately understood and quickly walked to the inner hall, taking out a box.
Seeing Fang Yuan’s confusion, father Fang explained, “I originally planned to send someone up the mountain to give these to you this month. Since you’re back, it saves them the trouble of going all the way there.”
Fang Yuan opened it and took a look. It was filled with high-grade beast blood and all sorts of top-grade medicinal herbs, all materials needed for the two Gu worms.
