The gate of the Mu family remained unchanged. In fact, with the Mu family's current strength, although it couldn't compare to those great sects, it was quite famous due to Mu Qingyi. They could have expanded the family and changed to a more imposing gate.
Many elders of the Mu family had advised Mu Qingfeng about this matter, but Mu Qingfeng shook his head and refused. When the previous family head, his father, passed the position to him, he had instructed him that everything else could change, but the gate could not, because his father feared that his sister wouldn't recognize the gate when she returned in the future.
How could she not recognize the gate? His sister wasn't an idiot.
However, Mu Qingfeng also knew that this was his father's way of expressing his longing for his daughter.
At this moment, the group about to return to the Mu family was stopped by the guards at the gate.
"Who goes there? Do you know this is the Mu family?"
A guard said loudly.
"I am Mu Qingyi!"
Mu Qingyi wasn't angry at being stopped, but calmly announced her name.
"Mu Qingyi?"
The two guards exchanged glances.
"How dare you impersonate our family head's sister! You have some nerve!"
The two guards glared at Mu Qingyi. In their view, Mu Qingyi had already embarked on the ancient star road, and once on that path, how could she return so easily?
Seeing this, Mu Qingyi was a little helpless. It had been over a thousand years since she had returned to the family, so it was normal that they didn't recognize her. However, she had obtained important information from the two guards.
That was, the current family head was her younger brother, and Mu Yunxi, whom she saw on the arena earlier, was her niece.
Upon learning that she had a younger brother, Mu Qingyi's first reaction was joy, followed by relief. She had originally thought that her inability to fulfill her filial duties to her parents was her regret, but now that she had a brother, her parents wouldn't be too lonely.
Just then, a luxurious carriage pulled by a strange beast landed in front of the Mu family gate. Mu Qingfeng opened the curtain and asked, "What's going on?"
The two guards saw the family head returning and quickly went up to him, explaining what had just happened.
"My sister?"
Mu Qingfeng's expression changed, and he looked towards Mu Qingyi. With just one glance, his pupils constricted.
"Father, what happened?"
Mu Yunxi's voice came from inside the carriage.
"Xiao Xi, come down with Father. Your aunt has returned."
After Mu Qingfeng finished speaking, he got out of the carriage. Although Mu Yunxi was puzzled, she obediently followed.
The moment Mu Yunxi got out of the carriage, her eyes lit up because she saw Wei Min again. She had been regretting it earlier, but she didn't expect to meet her here so soon.
"Xiao Xi, come here!"
Mu Qingfeng pulled Mu Yunxi to Mu Qingyi.
"Younger brother Mu Qingfeng greets elder sister!" Mu Qingfeng said with a smile.
Seeing this, Mu Yunxi glanced at the unbelievably beautiful Mu Qingyi, then respectfully said, "Niece Mu Yunxi greets aunt!"
Mu Qingyi was also a little stunned. She didn't expect that she would know that she had a younger brother and then get to the point of recognizing relatives so quickly. It was completely beyond her expectations.
However, with her thousands of years of experience, she wouldn't be caught off guard by the scene before her. She quickly reacted and introduced Li Beifei and the others to Mu Qingfeng one by one.
At this moment, the two guards were struck by lightning. They didn't expect that the woman in front of them was really the family head's sister, and they dared to stop her just now. If they were to be blamed, even if they had nine heads, it wouldn't be enough to lose.
The two were extremely terrified, fearing that Mu Qingyi would settle accounts after autumn and hold them accountable.
But obviously they were thinking too much. Mu Qingyi had no intention of blaming them. Their obstruction was just them fulfilling their duties.
"Let's go in first."
After Mu Qingfeng finished speaking, he led the group into the Mu family.
During this process, Mu Yunxi looked at Li Beifei with curiosity. From her aunt's words just now, she had learned that the handsome man in front of her was her uncle-in-law, but her uncle-in-law was too promiscuous. He already had her aunt, but he still had other women.
So she was very curious about what kind of magic Li Beifei had that could make her aunt, who was as beautiful as a fairy, so fond of him.
"Is there something on my face?" Li Beifei wondered. Why was this grand-niece staring at him, and with such a strange look in her eyes?
"No." Mu Yunxi shook her head.
Hearing this, Li Beifei sighed inwardly. Were the minds of girls nowadays so unpredictable?
"Xiao Xi, don't be rude!"
Mu Qingfeng, who was walking in front, scolded softly. As a father, he naturally knew what his daughter was thinking now.
"Yes!"
Mu Yunxi said seriously.
"It's okay!" Li Beifei touched his nose, feeling that he had implicated Mu Yunxi in being reprimanded.
Soon, Mu Qingfeng led the group to a large hall.
After everyone sat down, Mu Qingyi asked, "Brother, are Father and Mother still alive?"
This question was what Mu Qingyi had always wanted to know. Now that it had come to this, she couldn't help but ask.
"Father and Mother are still alive, but their lifespans are about to end. I sealed them in divine sources, just so you could come back and see them one last time!" Mu Qingfeng's tone was very light, but others could hear the heaviness in it.
Mu Qingyi's expression also changed slightly. Although she knew that her parents' talents were not high, and it was fortunate that they could cultivate to the Life and Death Realm, so many years had passed, and it was normal for their lifespans to be near the end, but she was relieved to hear that they had been sealed in the divine source.
"Take me to see them!"
Mu Qingyi said.
Mu Qingfeng nodded, but he said, "Once Father and Mother are unsealed from the divine source, they cannot be sealed in the divine source again. After all, one shouldn't do something against the heavens too many times."
Mu Qingyi also knew that her parents' cultivation was too low and they couldn't be sealed multiple times. She said, "Don't worry, I have a way to make them live forever!"
"Hmm?" Mu Qingfeng was stunned, then glanced at Li Beifei. He immediately understood that Li Beifei was a disciple of Senior Gu, so it was normal for him to have some treasures that could make people live forever.
"Thank you, brother-in-law!" Mu Qingfeng said.
"Hahaha, you're welcome. Qingyi's parents are also my parents. This is what I should do." Li Beifei was so happy that he couldn't find the north after being called brother-in-law by Mu Qingfeng. If he didn't only have two Celestial Immortal Fruits, he would have let the entire Mu family ascend just for this brother-in-law.
He was really too happy!
Mu Qingfeng nodded lightly, then said again, "Please also thank Senior Gu on behalf of your younger brother."
"Haha uh..."
Li Beifei's laughter stopped abruptly. His face darkened, and he said, "What does this have to do with the old guy?"
Mu Qingfeng shook his head, secretly thinking in his heart: Brother-in-law is really as rebellious as Senior Gu said!
"Sister, follow me!" Mu Qingfeng said to Mu Qingyi, then got up to lead the way.
"Hey, you kid, explain it to me clearly. What does it have to do with the old guy?" Li Beifei wanted to stop Mu Qingfeng.
Mu Qingyi said, "Beifei, I'll go first."
Seeing this, Li Beifei had to nod. He didn't plan to go with them. After all, it was a daughter meeting her parents, and he, as the son-in-law, still had to avoid suspicion. After all, they had to be given some private space!
"Xiao Xi, you stay here and entertain your uncle-in-law and the others well."
Mu Qingfeng instructed.
"Okay!"
Mu Yunxi nodded.
After the two siblings left, Li Beifei was still muttering, "How did it get related to the old guy?"
...
