Soul travels through the world of immortality

"You brat, do you even know you're coming back?" The shopkeeper was startled by Hu Ailin and said half-annoyingly.

Hu Ailin hugged the shopkeeper, his eyes were slightly red, and he glanced at Li Mingyang subconsciously.

"Uncle, I'm fine, I'm back safely." Hu Ailin originally thought that he had finally come back with his life saved, but he swallowed his words again.

"Where have you been in the past two months? Your father was so angry that he fainted when he found out you ran away. It's probably due to an old illness." The shopkeeper let go of Hu Ailin and sighed.

"What's the matter of fainting? The old man must be fine. You've been deceived again. He just wants to trick me out." Hu Ailin continued to think hard and said stubbornly.

"It's not easy for your dad, don't be arrogant to him, otherwise you can't save us some trouble." The old uncle took Hu Ailin to an empty table and sat down, and told the waiter to ask the chef to cook something good.

Hu Ailin signaled Li Mingyang to wait a moment, then sat beside the old uncle in a weary manner, glancing at him from time to time as he sat drinking.

"Linlin, where have you been? We searched all over the Imperial City. We even sent people to Autumnal Equinox Island to look for you. We even sent people to your favorite place, the Colosseum, but we still couldn't find you. You Are you deliberately making us old guys worry?" the shopkeeper asked reproachfully.

"Uncle, I didn't want you to find me when I left the imperial city at first. But then I ran into some trouble, so I had no choice but to... make you worry." Hu Ailin did not mention the matter of being imprisoned and selling himself, but the shopkeeper But he heard the hidden meaning and looked at him with an inquiring look.

"Don't hide anything from us. If you tell us, it will be solved." The shopkeeper said with concern.

"It's okay, don't worry, it's been solved. I'm back fine, don't you? Just rest assured." Seeing the shopkeeper's worried look, Hu Ailin stood in front of him and turned around to show that he was fine.

Li Mingyang didn't expect that Hu Ailin had such a side, which made him a little moved. He remembered that he was like this in front of his elders in the past, but that had become a distant memory.

"You'd better go back and see your dad. He's doing it for your own good. He knows you don't want to, so he has no choice. But there's nothing you can do about it, right?" The old uncle comforted him.

"Well, I do have something that I need to see him for. I must not let others know when I come back. Please arrange for us to meet."

"Well, you'd better not show up at the inn first, stay at the village first, and I'll ask your father to find you there." The old uncle called the boy and asked him to deliver a message to the city.

When the dishes were served, Hu Ailin introduced Li Mingyang to his uncle. He said that Li Mingyang was a friend he met on the road and would return to the village with him. The old uncle looked Li Mingyang up and down, and saw that he had a majestic appearance and unfathomable cultivation. He was not like the friends Hu Ailin could usually make, and he couldn't help but feel curious.

"My name is Bronzebeard. My little friend, how about you follow Linlin in calling me uncle?"

"Thank you, uncle. I have taken the liberty to disturb you in the village these days." Li Mingyang smiled and saluted Bronzebeard.

Bronzebeard couldn't help but feel a little more happy when he saw that he was a humble and polite man. It seemed to suit Hu Ailin's temperament, otherwise he wouldn't have brought him back to live with him in the village. Thinking of this, he laughed heartily and said, "Since he is my Linlin's My friends, as long as I don’t mind the simplicity of the village, I’ll naturally welcome you.”

Li Mingyang had dinner with his uncle and Hu Ailin, and then flew to the village with Hu Ailin. On the way, he couldn't help but ask: "Xiao Linlin, you still owe me some explanation."
