Xue Fanxin later took a few more snacks and shared them with everyone. She suddenly thought of Xue Batian and Gu Jinyuan, so she asked, “Little Lei, it’s already been so many days. My grandfather, Gu Jinyuan, and the others should have reached the Imperial City, right?”
When Heiran heard this, she replied, “Your Highness, Old Master Xue and Young Master Gu have already arrived in the Imperial City. They’re all living in the residence now. However, without His Highness’s instructions, I didn’t dare to casually bring them to the bamboo forest. However, Old Master Xue and Young Master Gu know that Your Highness has disappeared and have been worried for you.”
Even they had just found out that the consort had returned to the Lord’s Estate, so the ordinary servants in the estate definitely did not know, let alone Old Master Xue.
“Grandpa and the others have already arrived? Then I’ll go see him myself. I haven’t seen Grandpa in a long time. I really miss him!” Xue Fanxin left behind a room full of people and ran out of the room and the bamboo forest. She came to the courtyard in front of the Lord’s Estate and used her divine sense to find Xue Batian, so she went straight to look for him.
Before her body arrived, her voice had already arrived.
“Grandpa, your precious granddaughter is here to see you.”
Xue Batian had thought that he would be able to see his precious granddaughter directly after coming to the Imperial City. Unexpectedly, the news he received was that his precious granddaughter had disappeared. This made him extremely worried and anxious. He did not eat or drink all day and asked if his precious granddaughter had been found the moment he saw someone.
But now, he suddenly heard his precious granddaughter’s voice.
“Could it be an illusion?
“I must have missed Xin’er too much, that’s why I am having such an illusion.”
“Grandpa… Grandpa…” Xue Fanxin knew that Xue Batian had not rested yet because even the door was still open, so she ran straight in. Seeing that the grandfather who had doted on her since she was young was sitting in front of the window worried, she ran up to him. “Grandpa, why are you so worried! Are you unhappy to see your precious granddaughter?”
Only at this moment did Xue Batian realize that everything in front of him was not an illusion. He was extremely excited. “It’s really my precious granddaughter. I’m not dreaming, nor am I hallucinating.”
“Grandpa, it’s really me. I’m back!”
“Haha… My precious granddaughter is back! Quickly give me a hug. I miss you so much. You left me for so long this time. I’m so sad. I won’t let you leave me for so long in the future.” Xue Batian pinched Xue Fanxin’s face first. After confirming that she was real, he hugged her and spun her around, then looked at her properly.
Ever since she was young, his precious granddaughter had never left him. These few days, when his granddaughter was not by his side, he really missed her to the core.
He only had Little Xin’er as his family. If Little Xin’er left or did not want him anymore, he really did not know how he would live.
“Grandpa, there was an unexpected incident this time, so I came back late. Don’t worry. Aren’t I fine now? Your precious granddaughter is a lucky person. No matter what happens, she can turn misfortune into fortune. So don’t worry when you can’t see me in the future. I’ll definitely return safely. My poor grandfather has lost weight.”
“Then quickly get something delicious to eat and fatten your grandfather up.”
“Yes, yes, yes. I’ll definitely make a lot of delicious food and fatten Grandpa up. Since everyone is already here, let’s hold a gathering tomorrow and have a good gathering. When the time comes, get Ah Jiu to call Heilong, Hai Feng, and Zimo over. We’ll have a lively meal.”
She had wanted everyone to get together and have a delicious meal before getting to know each other better.
Let’s treat it as a celebration for her return from her tribulation.
To be able to return safely from a trip to the Demon Lord’s domain was indeed a tribulation.
