Chapter 70: Looking back every step, not wanting to leave at all

At this time, Little Grey was noticeably fatter than a month ago, like a pet that had been raised by its grandmother for a while.

Moreover, its eyes only saw Xu Qingzhou, and it didn't even notice Xu Luo had arrived.

Xu Qingzhou rubbed the fur on its neck.

"Little Grey, your master has come out of seclusion, go back with him."

Little Grey was completely stunned.

Master? What master?

My male master is our uncle! My female master is our aunt! I'm really not familiar with anyone else.

Xu Luo could tell that Little Grey had just woken up and was still in a daze, so he waved his hand.

"Little Grey, I'm here."

Little Grey was startled.

What! There are actually other people here!

It turned its head to look.

Huh? This person feels so familiar.

Xu Luo was astonished to see Little Grey's confused eyes; he thought that after not seeing him for so long, Little Grey must miss him greatly and would pounce on him upon seeing him.

He had even prepared to give it a big hug.

He never expected that Little Grey had already forgotten him.

Xu Luo walked forward and waved his hand in front of it, "Little Grey, are you still not fully awake? Why don't you recognize me?"

So it's you.

Little Grey rubbed against his shoulder.

But Xu Luo saw perfunctoriness in its eyes.

The key was, after rubbing, it went back to Xu Qingzhou's side, and the fawning in its eyes was particularly obvious.

This made it seem like they were a Family, and he was an outsider.

Xu Luo: "….."

[What exactly is going on? It's only been a little over a month since we last met, how did my spirit pet not only get fatter but also act unfamiliar with me? I raised you for so long, and you've only been with him for a few days, and you've already defected!!]

"Sixth Uncle, how did Little Grey become like this?"

Xu Qingzhou put his hand on Little Grey's face, "During this time, I prepared delicious food for it every day. It ate and slept, and that's how it became like this."

Xu Luo was speechless.

[What I wanted to ask wasn't why it got fatter, but why it didn't want to leave with me.]

"It just woke up and is still in a daze. Maybe if you talk to it for a while longer, it'll be fine," Xu Qingzhou got up, preparing to leave. If he was there, Little Grey wouldn't pay attention to Xu Luo at all.

Little Grey subconsciously still wanted to leave with Xu Qingzhou, but was forcibly hugged by the quick-witted Xu Luo.

"Little Grey, wait!!"

If it were an outsider, Little Grey would have bitten off his head with one bite.

In the end, Xu Luo spoke earnestly for half an hour, his mouth dry and his forehead covered in sweat, drawing many grand pictures, and finally managed to wake Little Grey up and make it willing to leave with him.

Even then, it kept looking back with every step; it really couldn't bear to leave.

Fortunately, Xu Qingzhou didn't say anything. If Xu Qingzhou had said something like 'barbecue tonight' or 'hot pot tomorrow', it would have rushed back in an instant, and no amount of pulling could have dragged it away.

Xu Luo wiped the sweat from his forehead, pulling the backward-looking Little Grey as he left Xu Qingzhou's courtyard.

"I only asked Sixth Uncle to help look after Little Grey for a little over a month, and it already doesn't want to leave with me. If I had come back any later, it probably would have forgotten me completely."

…..

Xu Muge still returned to the Xu Family every so often to see his parents and play in the city for two days, but regarding Xu Qingzhou and Su Xinyan's matter, he absolutely dared not say another word about it in the Sect.

It wasn't just Elder Li who was afraid of Su Xinyan; he was afraid too.

However, regarding the address, it was indeed as he had thought before: Su Xinyan called him Junior Brother, and he called Su Xinyan Auntie.

The third Heavenly Chosen, Xu Chu, was still diligently studying the path of alchemy. Compared to the previous two, the improvement in his cultivation could be said to be worlds apart.

His talent, to put it in low-emotional intelligence terms, was mediocre; to put it in high-emotional intelligence terms, he was very sociable, even slightly lagging behind.

But his existence was still crucial to the Xu Family, after all, for every additional Heavenly Chosen, the System would improve the talent of the Xu Family members once.

So his role is to add buffs to other Family members.

In the blink of an eye, it had been half a year since the Xu Family moved to Lingyue City.

The twenty-person Bandit Suppression Squad led by Xu Luo became increasingly powerful, with all members being Cultivators in the Naling Realm under the age of thirty.

Now the Xu Family had three Heavenly Chosen, and the talents of other members of the Xu Family had also been improved three times.

Therefore, their talents had long surpassed that of Xu Qingzhou in the past.

Especially a young man named Xu Yan in the squad; his talent was originally quite good, and it was improved three times, making his talent particularly outstanding.

Xu Yan could be said to be second only to Xu Muge and Xu Luo among the younger generation, so he was considered a key cultivation target for Xu Luo.

Under Xu Luo's leadership, the Bandit Suppression Squad had gone to the Demon Cloud Mountain Range and killed many bandits, thus they also possessed extremely strong combat experience, surpassing ninety-nine percent of Cultivators at the same Realm.

The Bandit Suppression Squad had already become the trump card force of the Xu Family. It was only a matter of time before their cultivation surpassed the seven Elders, so they were the future pillars of the Xu Family.

Xu Muge, who was cultivating in the Lingyue Sect, had already broken through to the Xuan Dan Realm, even slightly earlier than Xu Luo.

One must know that neither of them had cultivated for more than two years, and they were already in the Xuan Dan Realm. This speed could definitely be called a top-tier Heavenly Prodigy rarely seen in a thousand years.

Back then, Xu Qingzhou, after cultivating for two years, was still in the Qi Gathering Realm.

Most importantly, they had already comprehended Intent just after breaking through to the Xuan Dan Realm.

One must know that most Cultivators only comprehend Intent after breaking through to the Purple Mansion Realm. Those who can comprehend Intent in the Xuan Dan Realm are called Heavenly Prodigies.

Cultivating to the Xuan Dan Realm in two years is impressive, but not rare.

However, those who comprehend Intent right after breaking through the Xuan Dan Realm are extremely rare throughout the tens of thousands of years of history of various dynasties, and can definitely be called monstrous talents.

After all, one Xu Luo is a reborn person. In his previous life, he had comprehended not only Intent but also Laws.

The other Xu Muge has top-tier talent. His Physique, root bone, and comprehension can be called Heaven-Defying, and comprehending Intent is not difficult for him.

If the news that they comprehended Intent right after breaking through to the Xuan Dan Realm were to spread, it would definitely cause a stir throughout the entire Great Qi Dynasty.

At the same time, the Xu Family's enemies would also go berserk, and would not hesitate to pay any price to nip them in the bud.

When Heavenly Chosen Xu Muge and Xu Luo broke through to the Xuan Dan Realm, the System fed back a significant amount of cultivation to Xu Qingzhou.

This allowed Xu Qingzhou, who was in the late Xuan Dan Realm, to directly break through to the peak of the Xuan Dan Realm, just one step away from the Purple Mansion Realm.

Going from the middle Xuan Dan Realm to the peak in two years, in the past, Xu Qingzhou wouldn't even dare to think about it. Even if he diligently cultivated for twenty years by himself, he probably wouldn't be able to do it.

Now, two years of lying flat is enough.

As long as Xu Muge and Xu Luo work a little harder, it won't be long before Xu Qingzhou can even become a Purple Mansion Realm expert who can fly through the air!!

Yuhe City's City Lord, Lu Zhen, is in the Purple Mansion Realm. With this strength, if he enters the imperial court and knows how to handle social relations and pick a side, he can become a City Lord and comfortably be a local emperor.
