"Chen Yi, senior brother?!"
"Junior brother, you're finally back."
However, upon seeing Xia Wanwan and others in the courtyard, the group began to scrutinize them, even the usually loud Erhua restrained herself considerably.
Chen Yi nodded, sensing Lin Xueru was in cultivation, and smiled before introducing everyone.
Soon, Chen Taixing arrived with several servants and maids, busying himself with settling the Xia Family members.
Hua Xianzi gazed at Chen Yi with affection, unaware that Xia Wanwan had noticed her and was already smiling.
On the other hand, Xiao Xuanzhen seemed intrigued by Xia Wanwan and suddenly changed her usual contentious stance with Chen Yi, openly offering assistance.
This demeanor made Chen Yi feel somewhat uncomfortable, puzzled by her unexpected behavior.

Chen Yi went to the room where Li Qingzhou was, and saw an old Daoist sitting cross-legged inside.
