284: Everyone was surprised when Lu Xuan arrived!

At this moment, two more people slowly walked out into the main hall, both dressed in white luxurious robes, exuding an extraordinary demeanor, truly the style of a Young Master from a prominent family.

The man walking at the forefront was about nineteen years old, tall and slightly plump, undoubtedly Liang Cheng.

He glanced down at his attire, and the corners of his mouth turned up slightly, revealing a smug expression.

“It seems this Young Master’s charm remains undiminished with time,” Liang Cheng self-admiringly sighed, as if no one else was present. “After day-in, day-out cultivation in the Blackbird Guard, this Young Master thought this flourishing appearance would be ravaged by time.”

The Young Master standing beside Liang Cheng was Lu Yunqing, also a member of the Blackbird Guard.

Lu Yunqing was already accustomed to his cousin Liang Cheng’s narcissism; he couldn't be bothered to pay attention, walking straight towards Lu Jiahe.

“Father, you don’t need to worry.”

Lu Yunqing said with a firm tone, “From what I know of Big Brother, if he knew that Little Sister successfully gave birth to a pair of Dragon and Phoenix twins, he would definitely already be on his way.”

“Big Brother must have been delayed by some trivial matters, which is why he couldn’t return in time.”

Lu Yunqing patted his chest and assured his father, Lu Jiahe: “Father, Big Brother has never disappointed us, it was like this in the past, and it will certainly be like this in the future!”

It was like this before, so it will certainly be like this in the future!

Liang Cheng finally caught up at this moment, and he also took the opportunity to join the conversation, offering comfort.

“Yes, indeed!”

“Uncle!”

“Xuan Ge’s capabilities, don’t you, old man, know them well?”

“You can rest ten thousand times at ease.”

“Half a year ago, Uncle Feng mentioned it to me and Young Master Yunqing.”

“Xuan Ge came back, but he encountered some minor matters to deal with.”

“Once Xuan Ge finishes his tasks, he will naturally return.”

Liang Cheng and the other person naturally understood Lu Jiahe’s thoughts.

His coming out here was simply to see if Lu Xuan had appeared.

Lu Jiahe’s brows relaxed slightly upon hearing their words, but a trace of worry still lingered in his eyes.

He sighed and said, “You’re right, Xuan’er has always been steady and won’t disappoint us.”

When Shen Yunwei heard Liang Cheng and the others mention the name Lu Xuan, his thoughts drifted, and Lu Xuan’s figure appeared in his mind.

That young man, though young, was always calm and composed, as if he could handle anything, even if the sky fell.

Lu Xuan!

“It’s Xiao Xuan!”

Shen Yunwei murmured softly.

That young man always brought a sense of inexplicable reassurance.

“My dear Lu, don’t overthink things. Let’s go inside and sit down first.”

“These matters, just leave them to these young people to handle.”

Just as Shen Yunwei was about to have his sons take over entertaining the guests at the mansion.

Shen Yunwei was about to instruct his sons to take over entertaining the guests at the mansion.

Suddenly!

Several clear, joyful, and laughter-filled voices drifted towards Lu Jiahe and the others.

“Ho, everyone’s here? How complete!”

“Old Lu, it’s really lively here!”

“Indeed, thanks to you, Old Lu.”

“Thanks to your good fortune, Old Lu, it’s been a long time since this old bone of mine has felt such liveliness. It’s truly nostalgic!”

Before the words finished, three afterimages swiftly swept across the mansion’s sky, instantly passing through the crowded people and steadily landing in front of Shen Yunwei and the others.

As soon as these three appeared, everyone’s gaze was instantly drawn to them, even the guests who had come to the Shen family banquet were no exception.

Shen Yunwei and Lu Jiahe and the others turned their heads to look upon hearing the voices.

For a moment, the entire focus of the scene converged on the three of them.

Their standing positions appeared particularly unusual.

On the left and right sides were two old men with white hair and beards; time had etched deep and shallow wrinkles on their faces, yet it could not hide their steady demeanor.

And in the middle was a young man, tall and imposing, dressed in a deep black brocade robe embroidered with dark patterns.

It subtly shimmered under the sunlight, every cut perfectly fitted, exuding an extraordinary bearing.

One of the old men raised his hand and slowly stroked his beard, a gentle smile on his face, his eyes like torches, leisurely scanning the surroundings with an air of ease and composure.

These two old men were Li Chengfeng and Li Chengxing, who had rushed from Baidao Prefecture at top speed.

As for why they were so eager to come?

It was somewhat amusing to say—they shamelessly wanted to bask in the good fortune of this joyous occasion for good luck.

When Lu Xuan learned their reason, he felt a wave of speechlessness and secretly thought the reason was far-fetched.

However, Lu Xuan ultimately did not refuse their request.

Because, Lu Xuan pondered for a moment.

Oh well!

It was a good opportunity to let the Li family get acquainted with the Shen family.

In the future, if the Shen family encountered difficulties, they could also go to Baidao Prefecture to seek help from Li Chengfeng.

Having one more option means having one more choice.

When Lu Jiahe and his group’s gazes fell upon the face of the young man standing in the middle.

Their originally ordinary eyes were instantly filled with shock, everyone’s eyes slowly widened, as if they couldn’t believe what they were seeing.

Immediately after, an undeniable joy quickly spread across their faces, no longer able to be suppressed.

“Xuan’er!”

Lu Jiahe was the first to blurt it out, his voice tinged with surprise after disbelief.

“It’s Xiao Xuan!”

Shen Yunwei’s voice trembled slightly; he was equally overjoyed at Lu Xuan’s appearance.

“Big Brother!”

Lu Yun’an and Lu Yunqing, on the other hand, raised their voices in excitement, their youthful Heart-Nature fully displayed, their eyes filled with the joy of reuniting with their elder brother.

“Xuan Ge!”

Liang Cheng also shouted, his voice slightly off-key due to his excitement, and his body trembled uncontrollably.

“Father!”

“Master Shen!”

Lu Xuan’s voice was calm and strong, carrying a reassuring power.

Subsequently, when Lu Xuan walked steadily and calmly in front of Lu Jiahe and Shen Yunwei, he merely nodded slightly, his gaze showing a hint of gentleness and respect.

Although there were not many words or complex formalities, this simple action was Lu Xuan’s way of expressing his feelings.

Lu Jiahe quickly stepped forward, gripping Lu Xuan’s shoulders tightly with both hands, his eyes filled with relief and excitement: “Excellent, Xuan’er, you’ve finally returned!”

“Good, good, it’s good to be back!”

As Lu Jiahe murmured to himself, he meticulously examined Lu Xuan’s complexion.

From his face to his physique, he missed no detail, full of worry about whether his son had been harmed while away.

After a thorough inspection, Lu Jiahe saw that his son’s complexion was rosy, his breathing steady, and his body exuded health and vitality.

His suspended heart finally settled, and he slowly lowered his hands.

Shen Yunwei also smiled and stepped forward, patting Lu Xuan’s shoulder, his tone filled with the affection of an elder: “Xiao Xuan, you’ve had a hard journey.”

“Let’s go inside and rest for a bit first!”

Now, one of the main hosts had finally arrived, and Shen Yunwei was genuinely happy.

No guests mattered now; just Lu Xuan and the Lu family’s arrival was enough.

Lu Xuan smiled faintly and said, “Thank you for your concern, Master Shen.”

At this moment, Liang Cheng, the unreliable one, also excitedly gathered around.

Moreover, Liang Cheng’s movements were very familiar; he casually draped his right hand over Lu Xuan’s shoulder, a broad grin on his face, and teased.

“Xuan Ge, you really made us wait!”

“Everyone has been missing you terribly!”

Liang Cheng was completely unaware that his seemingly casual gesture was resting on an unparalleled existence who stood at the Peak of cultivation in the Great Xia Dynasty.

Void Realm True Lord!

If Liang Cheng knew this fact, he would probably jump for joy.

It would be a topic he could boast about for a lifetime.

Lu Yunqing, on the side, was still a bit reserved towards his Big Brother, his tone filled with utmost respect: “Big Brother, with your return, our Lu family will be lively.”

“With Little Sister’s Dragon and Phoenix twins, and your return, our Lu family has double happiness!”

At this moment, Li Chengfeng and Li Chengxing also slowly walked over.

“Father, Master Shen, these two are my good friends from the Blackbird Guard!”

“Mystic Envoy Li Chengfeng from Baidao Prefecture, and Deputy Commander of the Xuan Niao Guard Li Chengxing!”

“Uh, uh, greetings to the two sirs!”

Lu Jiahe and Shen Yunwei’s faces instantly showed surprise upon hearing this, and they hastily prepared to bow in salute, muttering, “Greetings to the two sirs!”

However, just as Lu Jiahe and the other man had barely bent their bodies.

An invisible yet powerful force quietly supported them, preventing them from bowing further.

“Hey!”

Li Chengxing quickly spoke to stop them, a gentle smile on his face, “This is unacceptable! We are here today as Lu Xuan’s friends.”

“We two truly cannot accept such a grand Thank you.”

Lu Xuan did not pay much attention to their pleasantries.

Finally, Lu Xuan’s gaze ultimately fell in the direction of the inner courtyard; he had already sensed his Little Sister’s location.

Lu Xuan softly said, “Father, I’ll go see Little Sister and the children first.”

Lu Jiahe nodded with a smile, saying, “Go ahead, your Little Sister and your two little nephews are waiting for you to come back.”

Saying that, Lu Jiahe turned to look at Li Chengfeng and Li Chengxing, then continued, “Shen and I won’t go; we’ll stay here to entertain these two old brothers.”

After a short period of warm greetings, Lu Jiahe had already become familiar with Li Chengxing, calling each other “old brother,” and the atmosphere was very harmonious.

Lu Xuan smiled slightly, then stepped towards the inner courtyard. Liang Cheng and Lu Yunqing exchanged glances, then quickly followed.

Within the inner courtyard, a main room was quiet and warm, with five or six maids standing outside, ready at any moment.

Inside the room, Lu Qingqing lay languidly on the soft bed; although her face was still somewhat pale, the happiness and contentment in her eyes were undeniable.

Shen Yuan stood to the side, steadily holding one child in each arm.

Shen Yuan looked at the two children in his arms, his face overflowing with an unconcealable happy smile.
