Three days later, in the sacred dynasty of emperor Huangfu Shengchao, in Falling Star City, Wangyue Town.
As Tan Yun maneuvered the golden dragon spirit lion, circling above Wangyue Town and looking down at his hometown, his starry eyes revealed a deep sense of sentiment.
“Years have passed, I wonder how my parents and grandfather are doing. I truly am an unfilial son!” Tan Yun murmured to himself as he controlled the golden dragon spirit lion and dove down, hovering above the Tan Residence.
A maid who was sweeping the floor let out a piercing scream, dropping her broom and running away!
The scream was particularly jarring, and when more than a hundred servants in the residence looked up, they were met with the sight of a massive golden flying lion, baring its teeth at them. The crowd was nearly scared out of their wits!
Watching this scene, Tan Yun said helplessly, “Big guy, I know you know these servants, but you look different from before. What if you scare someone to death?”
“Roar!” The golden dragon spirit lion growled softly, its giant eyes revealing a sense of understanding its mistake.
“Who dares to be reckless in my Tan family! Do you not know that my grandfather Tan Changchun's grandson is already a disciple of an ancient sect?”
At this moment, an elderly voice full of vigor rang out. Tan Yun looked down to see Old Master Tan, in good spirits, arriving at the center of the courtyard.
Behind Tan Changchun stood Tan Yun's father, Tan Feng, and mother, Feng Jingru, both with serious expressions.
Tan Feng was nearing fifty, while Feng Jingru was in her forties; due to managing household affairs, strands of white hair had appeared in her hair.
Behind the three, guards holding long spears were watching the golden dragon spirit lion with serious expressions as if facing a formidable enemy.
Everyone in the Tan Residence was puzzled. The news of Tan Yun becoming a disciple of an ancient sect had spread over a thousand miles. In the years Tan Yun had been away, influential figures from nearby towns often visited to build ties with the Tan family.
They never expected that someone would actually dare to cause trouble in the Tan Residence!
“Whoosh!”
A shadow leaped down from the golden dragon spirit lion, and soon after, Tan Yun knelt before Tan Changchun, Tan Feng, and Feng Jingru, bowing, “Unworthy descendant Tan Yun pays respects to Grandfather and greets my parents!”
As soon as these words were spoken, all three trembled!
In contrast, over a hundred guards and maids shouted excitedly:
“Young master has returned!”
“Our Tan young master is back to visit family!”
“Wonderful, the young master is home…”
At this moment, Feng Jingru, overwhelmed with joy, suddenly hugged the kneeling Tan Yun tightly, “Yun’er, my son! You’ve finally come back to see your mother!”
“Mother!” Tan Yun held onto Feng Jingru tightly, the mother and son reunited, tears streaming down their faces.
“Madam, Yun’er has returned, this is a great joy, why are you crying?” Tan Feng said, though his eyes were also glistening with tears.
“Yes!” Tan Changchun echoed, tears rolling down his face.
He felt gratified to have such an outstanding grandson, able to live up to the Tan family’s ancestors!
Feng Jingru wiped away her tears, helped Tan Yun up, and turned to Tan Feng, saying, “Husband, Yun’er is back; we must hold a grand banquet to welcome him home.”
“Alright, alright.” Tan Feng immediately turned and instructed the housekeeper to prepare the banquet, ensuring the entire residence would be lively for three days.
“Father, Mother, Grandfather.” Tan Yun smiled and said, “I want to introduce you to two people.”
At that moment, the golden dragon spirit lion in the sky suddenly shrank down to a size of ten meters, landing gracefully in the courtyard with Zhong Wu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi.
The guards stared at the two girls, their eyes wide. They were beautiful—so beautiful, just as stunning as Miss Jade Whisper, whom they hadn’t seen for over four years!
