If you can comprehend this technique, your strength will surely reach a new level.
Wei Changxuan nodded, put away the books and jade pendant, and said:
"We've made a good haul this time, let's leave now. There might be other dangers in this tomb."
Everyone nodded and, led by Wei Changxuan, left the ancient tomb.
The rain had stopped sometime earlier, and a sliver of dawn appeared on the horizon.
After a night of adventure, everyone was exhausted, but their hearts were filled with excitement and joy.
Because they witnessed Wei Changxuan's formidable strength and also gained precious treasures.
After this trip to the ancient tomb, Wei Changxuan's fame will surely spread throughout the martial arts world, making him a legendary figure revered by all.
Chapter 149 The Gongsun Family's Invitation!
After Wei Changxuan killed the mummified corpse, the group searched the ancient tomb and quickly withdrew.
After leaving the ancient tomb, the group was bathed in the first rays of dawn and embarked on their journey back to the Gongsun family.
The air after the rain was exceptionally fresh and pleasant, as if it had just been washed.
The soil and flowers exude a unique fragrance, as if even the heart and soul are infected by this purity, becoming more expansive and bright.
Although Wei Changxuan was still physically tired, he felt incredibly relaxed inside.
He clutched the books and jade pendant tightly in his hands; these two treasures gave him boundless confidence and hope.
Like a beacon in the darkness, it illuminates the path forward.
"Young Master Wei, thank you so much!"
Without your strong support, we probably wouldn't have escaped unscathed.
Gongsun Xiangming's words were full of gratitude, and his tone was sincere and respectful.
He knew that without this outstanding young man, the expedition might have faced an extremely dangerous situation.
Wei Changxuan smiled calmly, shook his head slightly, and replied:
"Don't mention it, it's my duty to do this."
Furthermore, our trip was not in vain.
Returning safely and having gained something is already the best possible outcome.
The group quickened their pace, moving swiftly forward in the morning light.
Soon after, they arrived at the familiar manor.
When they saw that the people standing outside the gate were their own people who had safely returned from danger,
The two burly men on guard immediately put down what they were doing and quickly came forward.
"Miss is back!" one of the guards exclaimed in surprise.
"Quickly inform the clan chief that the young lady has returned safely with Young Master Wei and the others!"
The other one didn't stop either, rushing hurriedly into the courtyard.
In an instant, the once quiet and peaceful mansion became bustling with activity.
Countless eyes turned to look at them, and every servant and disciple expressed their welcome in their own way.
Wei Changxuan keenly observed all of this—whether it was the genuine joy on their faces or the admiring gazes in their eyes.
At this moment, he was no longer just a guest; he had become a hero in everyone's eyes.
Seeing this, Gongsun Xiu smiled and gracefully stepped forward to lead the way:
Asking for flowers
"You two gentlemen must be tired from your journey. Please come with me and have a good rest."
I had already arranged a comfortable room earlier.
And have the servants prepare hot water for you to bathe and relax.
Later that evening, the family will host a grand banquet to welcome you!
Upon hearing this, Wei Changxuan smiled and nodded in agreement.
Then, following her directions, we entered the manor and slowly walked along a winding path.
Until they arrived at a small courtyard that was decorated with exquisite elegance.
This place not only grows all sorts of exotic flowers and rare herbs, but also exudes a delicate fragrance.
It makes you feel refreshed, as if all your troubles have been thrown to the winds.
Please rest here for a moment.
Gongsun Xiu said gently, "I will personally come to invite you both to share this delicious feast at dinner time."
"Thanks!"
Wei Changxuan looked at Gongsun Xiu and said with a faint smile.
"In that case, I'll take my leave now!"
Gongsun Xiu bowed, then slowly took his leave... for a long time.
Chapter 150 Gongsun Xiangyang's shock, Wei Changxuan's true identity!
Wei Changxuan smiled and nodded, then stepped into the house with Luo Yuheng.
The house is decorated with great elegance, and every detail reflects the owner's meticulousness and sophistication.
It was as if even the air was filled with a delicate fragrance, spotless and immaculate.
Sunlight streamed through the delicate latticework windows, casting dappled patterns of light and shadow on the smooth floor.
The two sat on the cushioned bed to rest for a while, enjoying a moment of peace in tacit understanding.
A moment later, soft, cautious footsteps sounded outside the door, and a servant pushed open the door, carrying a copper basin filled with hot water in both hands.
The "597" was carefully placed on a low table to the side.
The servant wore a gentle smile and spoke softly, "Young master, please have some water."
After washing up, Wei Changxuan felt refreshed and invigorated.
Just as he was about to go out for a walk to clear his head, a gentle knock on the door interrupted him.
Wei Changxuan's heart stirred slightly, and he immediately opened the door, where he saw a servant in blue standing outside.
The attendant lowered his eyes, clasped his hands in front of his chest, and respectfully said:
"Young Master Wei, my clan patriarch requests your presence."
His tone conveyed a respect that could not be ignored.
Wei Changxuan nodded slightly and followed the attendant.
The study was located in a quiet courtyard deep within the mansion; one had to walk through winding corridors to enter it.
Surrounded by greenery and filled with birdsong, the environment was serene and elegant.
As soon as you push open the door, a refreshing aroma mingled with the scent of books and ancient wood greets you.
The study is decorated in an elegant yet luxurious style, with the walls covered with calligraphy by famous masters from all dynasties. The brushstrokes are vigorous and powerful, revealing a profound cultural heritage.
On the desk lay a set of finely crafted writing implements—the inkstone was filled with thick, lacquer-like ink.
The brush holder holds brushes of different sizes and shapes;
The bookshelves are densely packed with all kinds of precious ancient books, each one perfectly preserved.
"Is this the renowned Young Master Wei Changxuan?"
A steady yet friendly voice broke the silence in the study.
Looking up, one sees a man sitting upright behind a mahogany table, his face lean and resolute, his brows radiating an indescribable light of wisdom.
Dressed in a simple blue robe, it was none other than Gongsun Xiangyang.
He was considered one of the top martial arts masters in Yongzhou.
He is also the true owner of this mansion.
Wei Changxuan nodded slightly:
"Greetings, Clan Chief Gongsun. Thank you for your hospitality."
Upon seeing this, Gongsun Xiangyang quickly stood up to greet him and personally helped Wei Changxuan to his seat, his eyes sparkling with sincere admiration and curiosity for this young talent.
"Not at all, sir, you are too modest. You saved my daughter's life."
Such great kindness will be forever remembered; how could I possibly trouble you to perform the proper rites?
After some pleasantries, the atmosphere gradually relaxed.
In the following time, Gongsun Xiangyang inquired with great interest about the specific details of their previous adventure.
Especially regarding that thrilling final battle.
As the narrative unfolds, it becomes clear that the young man before us is actually capable of...
When the chieftain single-handedly defeated a powerful enemy and even benefited greatly from it, his eyes revealed boundless admiration.
"I am both amazed and impressed to hear that Young Master Wei possesses such extraordinary strength at such a young age."
If I could know which master you were mentored by, my admiration for you would only grow stronger.
Faced with such praise, Wei Changxuan did not appear arrogant or complacent; instead, he became even more low-key and cautious.
"To be honest, my decision to become an apprentice involves too much privacy and is not suitable for detailed discussion."
However, we did gain a lot of insights during this expedition, which will be helpful for future exploration.
My next plan is to go into seclusion and cultivate in order to break through to a higher realm.
Gongsun Xiangyang nodded in approval: "This is a wise move. Young Master Wei is exceptionally talented; given time, he will surely reach an even higher level."
However, Gongsun Xiangyang changed the subject and said to Wei Changxuan.
"May I ask what Young Master Wei's full name is? And where does he come from?!"
