Chapter 1597: Ascension (1)
Second uncle Xu and Xu lingyue noticed her abnormality and turned their heads to look outside the hall.
In the night, Xu Qi ‘an was dressed in a sky-blue brocade robe, holding a jar of wine in his hand. He walked under the eaves under the Halo of the lanterns.
With another step, he crossed the threshold and entered the inner hall.
“Ningyan!”
Joy appeared on second uncle Xu’s face. He stood up and went to greet his nephew.
Aunty and lingyue also smiled, but the former immediately snorted and put on a cold attitude, while the latter was as happy as a little girl. She got up with her father and went to greet her big brother.
“Second uncle, I’m back.”
Xu Qi ‘an said with a smile.
When a Wanderer returned, a simple “I’m back” was enough.
“It’s good that you’re back.” Second uncle Xu patted his nephew’s shoulder and took the wine from his hand. He turned to his aunt’s personal maid, Lu ‘er, and said, ”
“Prepare a bowl and chopsticks for eldest brother.”
Xu lingyue seized the opportunity and shouted softly, ”
“Big brother~”
Her tone was light, showing the girl’s joy at the moment.
Xu Qi ‘an looked at his eldest sister and smiled gently.
“I haven’t seen you for a while, and you’ve become even more beautiful.”
She had perfectly inherited her aunt’s beauty and was outstanding in terms of looks. She was elegant and refined, and her facial features were exquisite.

“Ningyan, since you’ve returned to the capital, you must have heard the news of the fall of Qingzhou.”
Second uncle Xu took a sip of wine and said, ”
“Then you must have gone to Yongzhou to see Erlang. Your aunt has been worried about Erlang. I told her that even if something really happened to Erlang, you would have come back to inform us.”
Xu Qi ‘an’s expression froze.
“It has been some time since Qingzhou was lost. Didn’t second uncle write to ask about Erlang’s situation?”
Second uncle Xu’s expression froze for a moment.
The uncle and nephew looked at each other in silence.
Although it was a little inappropriate, what was with this familiar sense of deja vu? it felt like something similar had happened before … Xu Qi ‘an pondered for a moment and said, ”
“It’s fine. The three great Confucians of Yun Lu Academy are all in Yongzhou. They will take good care of Erlang.”
Second uncle Xu could only comfort himself this way.
“You’re right,”
At this time, Xu lingyue found an opportunity to interrupt and said, ”
“Big brother, why do you have the smell of makeup on you?”
Hearing this, second uncle Xu immediately looked at his nephew with a ‘hairless mouth and unreliable work’ look.
“Eh, is it that heavy?” Xu Qi ‘an sniffed in surprise, then said calmly, ”
