Returning home

Everyone saw something coming towards them it was not one but two. Everyone got alert. But as they saw it clearly yan cheng and xue yuan were coming back flying on their swords.

Xue yuan and yan cheng landed on the boats properly. Then xue yuan screamed "OW!"

Xue zheng hit him on the head with his hand and then hugged him and said "IDIOT DO YOU EVEN HAVE AN IDEA HOW MUCH WORRIED I WAS!"

Xue yuan said "no I don't have any idea on how much worried you were?"

Xue zheng was boiling in anger whereas xue yuan was confused. Yan zhao said "h-hey hey please calm down master xue"

Yan cheng said "xue yuan he was worried about you"

Everyone was shocked Jin wu said "since when did yan cheng become your friend?

Xue yuan said "oh since I said I want to return home and drink magical drinks"

Everyone said "EHH??"

After few hours everyone reached their kingdoms

Xue zheng had many complaints about xue yuan to tell to his dad for punishment for not to listening to him. When they entered the palace hua xiang (their adoptive father) was so happy to see them. He informed it to hua Ming (their adoptive mother) she came running and hugged them.

Xue zheng said "dad we have something to say"

Hua xiang said "what is it dear tell us "

They explained what happened to them in the cloud mountain and the death of bai xiang.

Hua Ming started crying and said "thanks to god nothing happened to you three but still...."

Xue Liang went and hugged her and said "we are okay mom there's no need to fear so don't cry"

Xue zheng said "xue yuan put two times his life in danger....NO! 3 times"

Hua xiang said "WHAT HOW!"

Xue zheng said "first he got stabbed by a corpse while saving a boy and then he jumped in a river where ghouls were trying to flip our boat then he went to fight bunch of ghouls without informing me"

Hua xiang said "A-YUAN WHY DO YOU KEEP PUTTING YOURSELF IN DANGER! DO YOU EVEN KNOW HOW MUCH YOUR MOTHER AND I GET WORRIED WHEN U EVEN HAVE A HIGH FEVER. AND TODAY YOU GOT STABBED WITH A SWORD!"

Hua xiang went and hugged xue yuan and said "never do that ever again I can sacrifice my life for you three but never see you three struggling"

Hua Ming hugged xue yuan and said "what if something happened to you!"(And started crying)

Everyone calmed down. And then went in their rooms xue yuan was with his mother sleeping on her lap. He asked her "mother?

She said "hmm"

He asked "competition day is in this week, right?"

She said "yes a-yuan. But why did you ask?"

He said "because I will make you proud that day. You know I can use my qiong really well!"

She said "I know, my a-yuan is the strongest kid and of course he will make his mother proud"

He said "mother, what is my musical instrument?"

She said "your musical weapon is a flute but your qiong will take time for it to transform into a flute"

He said "from flute I remember I heard a flute sound at the cloud mountain when the ghouls were about to attack. And also, at the river it was like it wanted to tell me something"

She said "really...I will talk to your father about it"

He said "and I also saw a sword it tried to protect us but then it called my name and disappeared"

She said "that's kind of weird...well a-yuan why don't you go practice with your sibling for the competition between clans you want to make us proud right"

Xue yuan said "oh right bye mom" she waved at him and said bye.

Then hua Ming went to the king's room and told him about the sword and the flute sound'

Hua xiang was shocked by listening this....

Hua Ming asked him "do you know anything about this I don't want my a-yuan to be in any danger anymore"

Then he explained her about the day when a man told him about the ghost realm.
