Hearing the once obedient and agreeable man suddenly evade her question, Xu Shuhui felt a surge of pettiness. What’s the big deal about a secret mission anyway? Since you’re back, if you don’t talk, I won’t even care to listen anymore.

“Humph, don’t say it if you can’t!”

Never before had Tang Sen found his wife’s childishness so endearing. He nodded as if granted a pardon, feeling a wave of relief.

Seeing the look on her husband’s face, Xu Shuhui grew even more irritated. She turned her head towards Tang Luo and asked, “Luo Er, how is your recovery progressing now?”

About time she remembered me, her beloved son.

“I’m recovering well,” Tang Luo casually responded when he heard his mother’s question. He felt both annoyed and amused. Ever since his father had returned, her eyes had only been on the man indulging himself in food. Even though she nagged incessantly, she kept putting spiritual food in his bowl, producing a sense of harmony over the meal. This display of affection was such an eye-opener that it added some much-needed liveliness to the usually cold home.

From the brief conversation, Tang Sen keenly caught on to the key point in Xu Shuhui’s words and asked, “Recovering?”

On his return to Xiling, he had come straight home without reporting to the Martial Hall, hence he was clueless about the events of the past few months. Nevertheless, as the First Head of the Martial Hall, he knew his son had reached the peak of transcendence together with a set of astonishing seals, making him unparalleled among his peers. He was puzzled as to why his son would need recovery, thus he looked on, full of doubts.

“Father, let me explain this to you slowly,” Tang Luo said, interrupting his eager mother, Xu Shuhui.

If Xu Shuhui were to narrate the story, the higher-ups of the Tang Clan would be portrayed as ungrateful and dishonorable. Only Tang Luo understood the sacrifices the Clan Head and the Great Elder had made to prevent him from entering the Minor Spiritual Realm. His removal from the Elder position was of his own volition, something he had discussed with his teacher in advance, but his mother just couldn’t understand.

From the Demon King Blood God’s fallback to the rescue involving following him into the realm, to the plot against Ji Fu, Tang Luo detailed everything that had transpired over the months.

Tang Sen listened quietly from start to finish and, when Tang Luo had finished talking, he proudly stated, “You did very well.”

Had he been there at that time, he would have taken Tang Luo’s place in the realm, not because he didn’t trust his son, but because he felt surer of himself. He believed that compared to his family, his cultivation was insignificant.

Hearing his father’s approval, Tang Luo smiled and said, “Didn’t you say before you left that family is always the most important thing? That’s what I think as well.”

Many wonderful things in the world need one’s hard work to acquire, whether it’s a higher position or stronger power. However, some of the most precious things are given to you from the start, but they are too common for you to notice them.

Being reincarnated has its advantages, such as knowing what’s important and what’s not. Many men fall in love with a woman and struggle to make her life better, but ignore her in the process.

Women feel that men no longer love them, and men feel that women no longer understand them, leading them down separate paths, bemoaning life s injustices. This is a classic case of confusion of priorities, losing the most important things in the process of guarding them.

Or, for instance, a warrior tasked with defending a city chooses to retreat to the mountains to train hard. When he emerges, confident in his ability to defend the city against any attack, he finds that the city has already fallen and all that remains are ruined walls and relics.

The outcomes of both scenarios are neither beautiful nor bad, because your efforts will not betray you. For instance, the man who lost his lover ends up with a successful career and wins the affection of many other women. Likewise, the warrior who failed to defend the city becomes very strong and can roam the world freely.

Hence the former comforts himself that it’s okay because he now has a successful career. If he encounters true love again, he can take good care of her, give her a superior life, and spend more time with her. The latter convinces himself that it’s okay because he is very powerful now. If he is given another chance to defend a city, he will guard it wholeheartedly and prevent anyone from harming it!

Both seem to understand the true meaning of life, but it’s merely self-comfort. They often fail to realize the value of something until they lose it. But what if that precious thing never reappears?

Someone who has lived twice wouldn’t make such a ridiculous mistake. Therefore, Tang Luo understands that seeking power is merely a method to protect his family, and not the end goal. If his family is gone, of what use is power?

Hearing what Tang Luo said, Tang Sen’s eyes filled with mirth. He turned to Xu Shuhui and said softly, “Wife, would you like to return to Yuanzhou to visit our relatives?”

The sudden suggestion took the woman aback.

“Visit relatives…” Xu Shuhui muttered, a hint of fear in her heart. Her father had declared to break off ties with her. It had been fifteen years since she received a letter from home, and every letter she sent to Yuanzhou sunk like a stone. Could she really go and visit relatives?

In an instant, Tang Luo understood his father’s intentions and promptly chimed in, “Yes, Mother. You haven’t been back to Yuanzhou in fifteen years. Don’t you want to see our relatives, your childhood playmates, and your two uncles?”

In the past, Xu Shuhui didn’t have any relatives to visit due to her grandfather’s influence. But now, her two uncles were lords of a city. In their last letter, they had invited her to visit. Tang Luo thought it was the perfect time.

“Elder Brother… Second Brother…” Xu Shuhui’s eyes suddenly seemed a little lost. The homesickness was almost uncontrollable, but when she thought of the affairs at home and her young daughter, she hesitated. “But there are still lots of things to do at home. And Nuan Nuan can’t be without me.

“That’s simple,” Tang Luo said with a smile. “The affairs of the clan can be handled by the stewards. As for Little Nuan Nuan, she can go with you. It would give her a chance to see how big the world is.”

Seeing the two men surrounding her, considering her own return to visit relatives, Xu Shuhui suddenly felt a bit puzzled. “Why do you suddenly want me to return to Yuanzhou to visit relatives?”

Hearing his wife’s confusion, Tang Sen, who had been quietly listening with a smile, suddenly tensed up.

However, Tang Luo was completely composed. He laughed and said, “A few days ago, I heard someone say something that makes a lot of sense. Being rich and noble but not returning to one’s hometown is like walking in brocade at night-who would notice? When you and Father chose to elope all those years ago, many people in Yuanzhou wanted to see you fail. Even your two uncles didn’t really approve of your decision, which is why our cousin came to Xiling claiming to seek justice for you.”

Thinking back to the naive look of her nephew when she first met him, Xu Shuhui smiled. “I’ve mentioned the prosperity of Xiling many times in my letters, but your two uncles just wouldn’t believe it.” She gave Tang Sen a playful glare. “It’s all your father’s fault. Back then, he didn’t even have a decent magical armor and looked like an iron lump.. Who could tell how prosperous Xiling was?”
