Chapter 334: Lu Qingqiu’s Mentality Collapses

Just as Lu Qingqiu was about to open her mouth to greet him, she suddenly realized that the man in front of her had smoothly and without a moment's pause, brushed past her.

Ah, this….

Lu Qingqiu was completely stunned, her mind stopping all thought at that moment, completely blank.

Xu Qingzhou did see her at first glance, but his second glance landed on Xu Hao, the seventh Heavenly Chosen behind her.

And that one glance locked onto his target, after which he no longer cared about anything around him.

Even if a Great Saint Realm expert appeared in front of him now, trying to stop him, he would swing his sword and cut them down without the slightest hesitation or pause.

Xu Qingzhou stood in front of Xu Hao, a gentle smile on his face.

"Do you know me?"

Xu Hao looked up at him, momentarily dazed, but quickly recovered, his eyes wide and mouth agape.

"You, you… you're Uncle Qingzhou!!"

Statues of Xu Qingzhou can be found in the courtyards of the Xu Family in various cities, and every conscious member of the family remembers him.

His elders had always taught Xu Hao to work hard and to take Xu Qingzhou, who he should call Uncle according to seniority, as a role model and learn from him.

So he subconsciously called out Uncle Qingzhou, but realizing his mistake, he quickly waved his hand and corrected himself.

"Ah, no, no, it's Clan Leader!!"

[Oh my god, I thought I would have a chance to meet the Clan Leader sometime in the future, but I never expected to see him so soon.]

Xu Qingzhou smiled and patted his shoulder affectionately.

"We're all family, no need to be so formal. Let's go home and talk."

Xu Hao, somewhat overwhelmed, nodded repeatedly, too excited to speak at the moment.

[It really is the Clan Leader!!]

All members of the Xu Family regard Xu Qingzhou as their sole idol and lifelong faith, often hearing elders and others talk about the various legends of Xu Qingzhou.

If one day they suddenly met this idol in their hearts, it would naturally be easy for them to be too excited to speak, especially for a child like Xu Hao who hasn't grown up yet.

Xu Qingzhou led him and walked straight towards the Xu Family Courtyard in front.

After they had gone far away, Lu Qingqiu behind them suddenly came back to her senses as if waking from a dream. She turned around in disbelief, looking at the distant Xu Qingzhou, her face full of disbelief and confusion.

"Why is this happening? Wasn't he here to find me? Why did he ignore me?"

Lu Qingqiu's head was full of question marks, feeling as if her whole world had collapsed.

It's fine if there was never any hope, but it's terrifying when a little hope is suddenly given, only to find out in the end that it was just an illusion. This kind of fluctuation is something people with poor mental fortitude simply cannot accept.

So the already fragile-hearted Lu Qingqiu stood frozen in place at this moment, sinking into deep self-doubt, pacing on the verge of collapse.

This completely dumbfounded the maid beside her, who couldn't understand what was going on with the third young lady of the family. Why did she suddenly stop walking, and why was her expression so complex? It just felt so inexplicable.

"Miss? What's wrong?"

"If you don't want to find the young master, you can go directly to see the master."

They thought Lu Qingqiu was angry about what just happened, so they comforted her in this way.

Lu Qingqiu didn't hear a word, not even any sounds from the outside world, standing there like a fool.

It was only because Xu Hao was there that Xu Qingzhou revealed himself and walked over. If Xu Hao hadn't been there, Xu Qingzhou would have just left, still not giving Lu Qingqiu another look.

By this time, Xu Qingzhou had already returned to the Xu Family Courtyard with Xu Hao. When the Xu Family members saw him, they were slightly stunned, then excitedly shouted.

"Clan Leader!!"

"The Clan Leader is back!!"

Soon, the entire courtyard, and even the Xu Family members in the entire Yuhe City, knew that Xu Qingzhou had returned and came to visit one after another, surrounding Xu Qingzhou like stars surrounding the moon.

Actually, Xu Qingzhou only wanted to talk to Xu Hao at this moment, but since everyone here was family, he could only meet with them. After calmly comforting them, he would have a chance to talk to Xu Hao alone slowly.

Xu Qingzhou had already checked the genealogy just now. Xu Hao's Grandpa and Xu Qingzhou's Father were cousins, so calling him Uncle was indeed correct.

Moreover, Xu Qingzhou had already learned about Xu Hao's basic situation. His parents had always been in poor health, weak and sickly.

Although the family provided some assistance, most of the Spirit Stones each month were used to buy medicine for the two of them. Xu Hao also had to take care of them and a younger sister, which was very hard.

This led to Xu Hao being more mature and sensible than his peers from a young age.

He was just over thirteen years old this year, not yet the normal age of fourteen to begin testing his talent, so he hadn't started cultivating.

In Xu Qingzhou's view, Xu Hao's situation was a typical protagonist setup.

Xu Qingzhou asked, "How about I take your family to Broken Mountain City? We can cure your parents' illness there, alright?"

Although he didn't understand what his Golden Finger was like, or how his talent was, Xu Qingzhou wasn't in a hurry at all. It wasn't too late to slowly understand after taking care of Xu Hao's other matters.

When Xu Hao heard this, his eyes immediately lit up, and he asked eagerly, "Can we really cure Mom and Dad's illness?"

"Of course," Xu Qingzhou replied with certainty.

The Xu Family had countless medicinal treasures; curing the illnesses of two Mortals was not a problem at all, and could even allow them to live for hundreds of years longer.

After hearing this, Xu Hao immediately stood up and said impatiently, "Then let's go now."

"Okay, let's go now," Xu Qingzhou also understood that since Xu Hao had watched his parents suffer from illness since he was a child, there wasn't a single day he didn't want to cure his parents immediately.

Xu Hao had even prayed more than once to get sick in place of his parents, or to shorten his lifespan in exchange for his parents' health.

Xu Qingzhou directly took Xu Hao and his parents and sister, leaving Yuhe City and heading to Broken Mountain City.

Xu Hao's Grandpa and Grandma were still alive, but they were already used to living here, and were now nearing the age of their natural lifespan, so they naturally weren't willing to leave this familiar place.

With Xu Qingzhou's Great Saint Realm cultivation, it didn't take long to get from the Great Qian Dynasty to Broken Mountain City.

Arriving at the prosperous Broken Mountain City and entering the Xu Family's Blessed Land, Xu Hao's eyes were filled with shock and longing.

Xu Qingzhou asked, "After your Mom and Dad are cured, your family will live here from now on. I will personally teach you how to Cultivate, how about that?"

Xu Hao was once again too excited to speak, and could only nod frantically. His eyes were a little red, but he kept holding back his tears.

This was something he hadn't even dared to dream of before.

Having lived a difficult life for so many years, suddenly one day his luck turned around, and a happy life fell from the sky. No matter who it was, it would be difficult to control their emotions, and Xu Hao was already very strong.
