Reborn with a Space: Building a Fortune Amidst Famine

Chapter 1617: Return

The four brothers shook their heads, "Senior, we haven’t returned before."

Qi Wen nodded, deciding to be a more diligent caretaker.

Her Divine Sense swept over, guiding the Flying Boat over the Lu Family estate.

"I’ll send you down."

"Senior, after we bow to the elders, we can leave."

"Alright."

Qi Wen controlled her Spiritual Power to help them descend, placing them directly at the front gate.

Lu Qinghai knocked on the door, and soon a servant came to open it.

"Who are you looking for?"

"We’re here to see the Old Marquis and the Marchioness. Just say the Lu Qinghai brothers have returned."

The servants, seeing the four handsome young men who didn’t look like trouble, hurriedly went to report.

The family of four was just having a meal. Lu Qingchun had already married, but Lu Anning’s family of six hadn’t returned.

Upon hearing the servants’ words, the Old Marquis’s heart stirred, "Four young men? Quickly, invite them in."

As he spoke, he put down his chopsticks and stood up to go see, hoping it was as he suspected.

The Marchioness was also smart and had her suspicions.

Lu Qingchun stood as well. "Dear, what’s this about?"

"If I’m not mistaken, it should be the brothers returning. Else, Grandfather and Grandmother wouldn’t be so excited."

"The four little uncles have returned?"

The elderly couple had already reached the second entrance and immediately saw the four Lu Qinghai brothers behind the servant.

They bore a strong resemblance to Lu Anning; how could they fail to recognize them?

"Qinghai?"

The four brothers quickly stepped forward, kneeling before the elders.

"Lu Qinghai, Lu Qingna, Lu Qingbai, Lu Qingchuan bow to Grandfather and Grandmother."

The two elders shed tears, eagerly helping their four grandsons up.

"Good, good, you’re finally back, back. Get up quickly."

Lu Qingchun and his wife also arrived and looked at their four brothers, no longer as fearful as before.

At that time, when someone said the position wouldn’t be his in the future, he was really scared.

Even after their mother and the three of them left, he remained uneasy, working diligently all these years.

He was just speculating whether they had come back to claim the title.

But thinking about it, even if they claimed it, they might lack the capability.

The two elders each held the hands of two grandsons. "This is your big brother."

The four quickly saluted, "Greetings, Big Brother."

"No need for formality, brothers. Let’s go inside and talk; you probably haven’t eaten yet. Xiao Ning, go instruct the kitchen."

Saying this was also a display of his status in the family.

The four brothers didn’t pay any attention. Xiao Ho didn’t understand such things and naturally wouldn’t teach the children about it.

Lu Qinghai held the elders’ hands, "Grandfather, Grandmother, we have to leave soon."

The elderly couple was startled. "You’ve just come home, where are you going?"

Lu Qinghai, as the eldest, explained.

"Grandfather, Grandmother, we’re going to cultivate, and there’s a senior waiting for us above."

The Lu family of four was stunned. They actually knew about Cultivation.

"All of you are going?" asked the Old Marquis.

The four brothers nodded.

"Isn’t Cultivation supposed to require a Spirit Root?"

"Grandfather, we have Spirit Roots. The senior has already tested us."

The elderly couple felt conflicted, happy that their grandsons could cultivate and become immortal, but sad to see them go after just one look.

Especially the two little grandsons, whom they’d never seen; they were born at the border.

"Could you invite the Immortal down? Our family wishes to host them."

Lu Qinghai shook his head, "Grandfather, the senior will not attend.

We brothers specially applied to come see you two."

"And now you just leave? What about your parents?"

"Grandmother, my parents are well, don’t worry about them."

"How can I not worry? It’s been over ten years since they left. Who knows when they’ll return."

The four brothers looked at their elders, unsure how to comfort them. Having seen their elders, their wish was fulfilled.

Once more, the four brothers knelt. "Grandfather, Grandmother, we’re unfilial for leaving soon. Please take care of yourselves."

Tears flowed again for the elderly couple. Having finally seen their grandsons, parting so soon was truly heartbreaking.

After bowing, the four brothers stood up. Lu Qinghai looked up, "Senior, we can leave now."

The Lu family of four watched the four young men rise into the sky and disappear within moments.

They thus witnessed the marvel of Immortals.

Lu Qingchun supported the elderly couple, "Grandfather, Grandmother, don’t be sad. The four brothers will have great achievements in the future."

Lu Qingchun understood the concern of the elders, though they’d promised the title to him, they worried about the four brothers.

Given the current situation, they likely wouldn’t live in such a small place.

Though people envied Cultivation, he personally didn’t seek it and only wanted to inherit the title.

"Hmm," the Old Marquis sighed. Tomorrow, he would report to the Emperor; Anning should also be returning.

The four brothers, without the Flying Boat, arrived at the Barrier two days later.

Qi Wen put away the Flying Boat. "Beyond this Barrier is the Cultivation World. Have you really made up your minds?"

The four brothers nodded firmly.

"Very well. Follow me."

It was easy for Qi Wen to cross the Barrier, but not so for them.

Qi Wen waited until the brothers, hand in hand, came through before releasing the Cloud-piercing Boat.

She felt rather satisfied with them, seeing at least a bond of brotherhood at this moment.

She brought them on board the Flying Boat, set a course, and advised them to cultivate independently.

"Master, quickly return to your usual appearance. It hurts my eyes to look at you like this."

"You can actually have eye pain?"

"Of course, I do. Mistress and Master are always a sight to behold."

Gu Ersheng also found this girl’s appearance uncomfortable, but he refrained from commenting, knowing that if he did, the girl would certainly keep this face upon return.

Qi Wen didn’t mind and, with a wave of her hand, restored her former appearance.

Returning to Xuantian Sect from here takes over a month, even with a Cloud-piercing Boat. She set the course and focused only on external dangers.

Eager to return, she had no intention of stopping.

Though anxious, there were those who wouldn’t yield. One day, three Nascent Souls blocked her path.

Qi Wen emerged from the Cloud-piercing Boat, "Why have you three blocked my way?" When her cultivation was low, she thought Nascent Soul Cultivators were extraordinary and rarely seen. Now, she encountered three at once.

The three men immediately cupped their hands when they saw Qi Wen, "We didn’t know it was a senior. Apologies."

"Farewell, then," she said.

"Please wait, Senior. You’ve entered our Talisman Sect territory. May we invite you as our guest?"

Qi Wen maintained an expressionless face, "I don’t care if it’s a genuine invitation or not; I don’t have time. If you disagree, we can test it."
