566: Return, the Li family doesn't need to live anymore!
That calm voice fell upon the scene, like a gentle breeze sweeping through, instantly clearing the frustration in everyone's hearts.
They didn't even see the person speaking, only felt that the voice was incredibly peaceful, and their own restless minds gradually stabilized along with it.
Immediately after, everyone looked towards the outside of the main gate.
They saw a tall and slender figure slowly walking in.
He was dressed in a green robe, with his right hand clasped behind his back, his demeanor was grand, his face handsome and attractive, his deep, Star-like eyes sparkled with spiritual light, and his bearing was extraordinary.
Everyone's eyes widened in unison when they saw that face, falling into endless shock.
Each person was struck as if by lightning, frozen on the spot, their faces filled with shock and bewilderment.
"Father!"
After a long while, someone suddenly shouted, their voice carrying a hint of a sob.
With a bang, that person immediately knelt down on the spot.
Immediately after, more people followed suit and knelt down.
Even Lin Xuanfeng, after a brief moment of bewilderment, chose to kneel on one knee and bow.
These individuals who held a transcendent status in the Zhou Family, upon seeing the arrival, did not hesitate at all and immediately offered the most respectful etiquette.
Because the person who came was none other than the Zhou Family's sky, an existence like a god in everyone's hearts.
The moment he appeared, an unprecedented sense of peace emerged in their hearts, and the feeling of frustration troubled by the crisis was swept away.
The other party's appearance gave these drowning people the last straw.
From the initial shock and bewilderment, to later ecstasy, and then tears welled up, they were extremely excited.
On the Family Head's throne, Lin Xi saw that familiar face. After a brief moment of bewilderment, she abruptly stood up, her beautiful eyes flushed red. Her usually indifferent face was now filled with tenderness, and tears were swirling in her eyes.
This Zhou Family Head, after managing the Zhou Family for hundreds of "Nian", lost her composure like this for the first time.
She pursed her lips, countless words wanting to pour out from her heart, but she didn't know how to speak.
Several decades have passed.
The other party still looked as young as he did back then.
Time seemed unable to leave a mark on his face. That delicate face, that tall and slender figure, were like a bright moon hanging high in the sky, illuminating her heart.
He just walked over slowly like this, walking into her heart.
Lin Xi tightly clutched the hem of her skirt, strongly suppressing the urge to embrace the other party.
But Zhou Luo was different.
Seeing his wife who had worked so hard for him and this Zhou Family, he strode forward and instantly arrived beside her.
Immediately after, he opened his large hands and tightly embraced her.
Her soft body leaned towards him like cotton, and a faint fragrance filled his nostrils.
He whispered softly in Lin Xi's ear, his voice gentle: "I'm back."
Zhou Luo had married many women.
And among these women, he only had one main wife.
This wife might not have been the most talented, the most noble in status, nor the one who helped him the most.
But she was like that woman behind every successful man.
She had always silently dedicated herself to Zhou Luo, working tirelessly without complaint, never expecting anything in return.
She was not a white moonlight, nor a cinnabar mole.
She might just be a grain of rice.
But this rice was far more important than anything else.
Because she was what he needed most.
Even though Zhou Luo was already that Golden Core True Person whom tens of thousands revered and countless people feared.
But facing this woman, he still gave her his greatest love.
This embrace on the spot was the expression of all his love.
At this moment, Lin Xi's mind was somewhat in a daze.
The strong male hormones and the warmth sensed by her body made her feel as if she was in a cloud, and an indescribable feeling surged from her heart.
She could no longer suppress her longing emotions.
She tightly hugged the other party, burying her head in that broad chest, as if afraid the other party would disappear in the next second.
At this moment.
She was no longer that high and mighty, majestic Zhou Family Head.
She was a woman who needed to rely on someone, she was Zhou Luo's wife.
In front of the other party, she could shed all her pretense.
The people below all lowered their heads, not daring to look ahead.
Smiles were on their faces, and the gloom in their hearts was swept away.
Father is back, everything will be resolved.
After an unknown amount of time, Zhou Luo finally released his embrace, let Lin Xi sit back in her seat, and then stood up to look at the children and high-level executives who were lowering their heads in silence.
"Get up," he said calmly.
Everyone quickly got up, looking at him expectantly.
Facing those fervent and hopeful gazes, Zhou Luo's expression was calm, and he spoke again: "I'm back, so everything will be alright."
Those calm words were like a reassurance, greatly uplifting the spirits of everyone present and causing them to smile.
They knew that Zhou Luo must have broken through.
That's why he was so confident.
"Husband."
Behind him, Lin Xi softly called out, wanting to say something.
But Zhou Luo raised his hand to stop her: "I know what happened. I'll go see those who are poisoned first."
With that, he took a step forward.
The next second, he disappeared from his original spot.
Some Foundation Establishment cultivators present didn't even sense it.
Such terrifying power made them even more certain that Father had successfully broken through.
"Let's go, we'll go take a look too."
The others quickly rushed outside, their spirits lifted.
Only Lin Xi, sitting on the throne, remained still.
She let out a long sigh of relief, rubbed her eyebrows, and the stone hanging in her heart could finally be put down.
During this time, she had been racking her brains, constantly thinking about how to resolve the Zhou Family's crisis.
Now that she saw Zhou Luo appear, she finally no longer had to worry.
Thinking of the brief moment of tenderness just now, her originally fair face flushed slightly again.
She lifted the corners of her mouth slightly, then stood up and followed the crowd towards the Core Area.
By the time she arrived, Zhou Luo had already examined the patients' conditions.
"Have someone prepare these Materials, and then have the Zhou Family Alchemist refine them."
He handed a slip of paper to Xu Changsheng.
As a Second-Order Poison Master, he could tell with just one glance what poison the Zhou Family's high-level executives had been afflicted with.
And he found a solution in a short amount of Time, moreover, it only required a Second-Order Alchemist to refine it.
This meant he didn't need to personally handle it.
Taking the slip of paper, Xu Changsheng's face lit up with joy, and he quickly withdrew to prepare.
Meanwhile, Zhou Luo scanned the Zhou Family high-level executives who had followed him: "You can spread the news that I've broken through to Golden Core and returned, to stabilize morale."
Currently, the Zhou Family's internal morale was shaken, and Zhou Luo's return was what they wanted most.
"As you command!" everyone responded in unison.
Then Zhou Luo walked outside.
"Husband, where are you going?" Lin Xi asked doubtfully.
Zhou Luo's back was to her, and he said leisurely, "Since the Li Family is tired of living, then I won't let them continue living."
Before his words finished, he soared into the sky, transforming into a streak of light and departing.
