Past life sage: This life a dual cultivator

"I don't know what father would have done. But your proposal is not bad. We can do our own things. I will seek the opinion of mother about it", Zhan Huan spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head in return.

"There is also another matter", Zhan Chen looked towards his uncle. 

"Speak", Zhan Huan looked towards Zhan Chen. Jie Ranqing also looked towards Zhan Chen with a questioning look on her face.

"What is the purpose of royal family visiting us now?", Zhan Chen asked.

"When did royal family visit us?", Zhan Huan replied with a confused look on his face. Jie Ranqing also felt confused as she couldn't recall any visit from the royal family.

"Currently an expert of royal family has come to see grand mother. Uncle Zhen Wang has accompined him to see her", Zhan Chen explained.

"An expert from royal family!", Zhan Huan exclaimed. Jie Ranqing also felt confused as she and Zhan Huan exchanged look with eachother. Zhan Huan called a guard posted outside his living complex and sent him to inquire about the matter.

They didn't have to wait much. As the guard returned after a little amount of time.

"General", the guard bowed towards Zhan Huan after returning.

"Speak. Who has come to visit mother?", Zhan Huan looked towards the guard.

"General, it is old king. He is currently talking with old madam in the guest hall", the soldier replied respectfully.

An amazed look appeared in the eyes of Zhan Huan after he heard the reply of the guard. He sent away the guard and looked towards Jie Ranqing and Zhan Chen.

"He has finally come out. Little Chen, don't think about the matter of royal family for now. Let the old king meet with mother first", Zhan Huan spoke. Zhan Chen nodded his head as he could understand the meaning behind the words of his uncle.

The old king of Red cloud kingdom had very good relationship with the Zhan family. The old king and the grandfather of Zhan Chen used to be good friend with eachother. So, Zhan Chen decided to see the attitude of his grandmother first.

He bade his farewell to his uncle and aunt and left with little Tao. Little Tao followed after him and both of them went to see Zhan Chen's mother.

"Chen-er", Li Qingzhao felt happy after seeing his son in early morning. Zhan Long was also with her. The entire family of Zhan Long, Li Qingzhao and Zhan Chen sat together and talked with eachother. Little Tao was also made to sit with them and listened the entire conversation of Zhan Long, Li Qingzhao and Zhan Chen.

"Chen-er, I want to see father. It has been years since I have seen him", Li Qingzhao spoke to Zhan Chen as a look of reminiscence appeared on her pretty face.

"Then go and visit him. I am sure he is regretting his past decision now", Zhan Chen smiled towards his mother.

Li Qingzhao nodded her head. She went out and took out a box from her room. After opening the box, a set of scrolls became exposed to everyone's eyes.

"See it", Li Qingzhao took out a letter and gave it to Zhan Long. Zhan Long smiled slightly after reading the content of the letter.

"Mother, what is written in the scroll?", Zhan Chen asked Li Qingzhao.

He felt curious after seeing the smile on his father's face. Li Qingzhao smiled sweetly after hearing the question of her son. 

"This is sent to me by mother. She had asked me to visit them many time. But I have not replied to her even once", Li Qingzhao spoke.

"Then, mother you should visit them. I am sure grandfather will be happy after seeing you after such a long time", Zhan Chen encouraged his mother.

He knew about the issue of his maternal grandparent with his parents. So, considering the situation, it would be best if his grandparents could accept his parents love for eachother.

Zhan Chen talked with his parents happily but their conversation interrupted by the arrival of a Zhan family guard. 

"General", the guard bowed after reaching near Zhan Long, Li Qingzhao and Zhan Chen.

"What is the matter?", Zhan Long looked towards the guard.

"General, old madam has sent me to call you. Please come with me to the guest hall", the guard spoke in a respectful manner.

Zhan Long nodded his head and looked towards Zhan Chen and Li Qingzhao.

"You two, mother and son talk with eachother. I am going to see mother", Zhan Long spoke and left with the Zhan family guard.

-----------------

In the guest hall of Zhan family, an old man and old woman was sitting opposite to eachother. The old man had an amiable appearance but his pair of sharp eyes giving him an intimidating look.

The old woman was looking slightly feeble. But her curved brows and deep eyes were showing her uniqueness from other woman.

The old man was the old king of Red cloud kingdom and the old woman was the mother of three generals, the head of the currently renowned Zhan family of the Red cloud kingdom.

"Sister Yue, I hope you can understand my difficulty. I am in seclusion and in the few days I have not seen Wushang, he had done such things", the old king looked towards Si Yue.

"Big brother Guang, you don't have to say anything. I will talk with Huan-er, Fan-er and Long-er", Si Yue spoke to Zi Guang, the old king of the Red cloud kingdom.

The old king of Red cloud kingdom nodded his head as a grateful look appeared on his face. He had always maintained a good relationship with the Zhan family and now after seeing Si Yue, she had not disappointed him.

"Sister Yue, I am going them. I wish we can forge a much better relationship between our families", Zi Guming spoke.

Si Yue nodded her head and Zi Guming walked out of the guest hall of the royal family. There was a relaxed look on his aged face when he came out from the guest hall.

"Young miss, what is the motive of this old fox?", old woman Mumu appeared near Si Yue and asked.

Si Yue had a calm look on her aged face. She threw a look towards the direction where the old king of Red cloud kingdom had walked off.

"Aunt, this is nothing. I have never tried to interfere in the relationship between Hanshan and Zi Guang. But it is a fact that Zi Guang has always tried to take advantage of Hanshan.

After the disappearance of Hanshan, Zi family has visited us only once. That also after finding out the talent of Long-er.

Now after so much things has happened, he still has the face to appear before me", Si Yue spoke.

"Then what are planning to do with them? That old bastard most be planning to take advantage of the Zhan family again", old woman Mumu looked towards Si Yue.

"Aunty relax. This time he also knew he has no option. He has proposed some interesting offer to salvage the relationship between us and the Zi family. I can only accept his offer with open hands", Si Yue chuckled.

"Mother", Zhan Huan was the first to arrive in the guest hall. Zhan Fan and Zhan Long walked after him and reached the guest hall.

"Mother, granny Mumu", three of them greeted Si Yue and old woman Mumu.

"Long-er, Fan-er, Huan-er", Si Yue smiled after seeing his three sons. She was thinking that it would be impossible for her to walk out in open again but a miracle happened. She could finally live again with her family.

"Mother, what is the matter? I heard king Guang has visited you?", Zhan Huan asked So Yue.

"You three, sit first. We can discuss about such trivial matters latter", Si Yue smiled towards her three sons.

Zhan Huan, Zhan Fan and Zhan Long nodded their heads and sat beside Si Yue. Old woman Mumu also took her seat and sat beside her young miss.

"Fan-er, what is the situation with the family of Xuehua? Are they still telling her to come back??", Si Yue looked towards his second son.

"Mom, they have caused problem initially. But they have stopped causing trouble in these past few years", Zhan Fan replied to his mother.

"Hmm, that is good then. Her family is slightly special. It is good that they allowed Xuehua to stay here", Si Yue spoke.

His gaze moved towards Zhan Long and an affectionate look appeared in her eyes. Every mother had a soft spot for her younger son and she was no exception.

"Long-er, I heard you will be breaking through to Core condensation realm?", Si Yue asked Zhan Chen's father.

"Yes mother, I will attempt my breakthrough after Chen-er leaves. There shouldn't be any problem with breaking through to Core Condensation realm", Zhan Long replied.

"Then, do you need any pill or treasure? Tell me I will arrange it for you", Si Yue asked.

"No mother, there is no need. After using the Marrow nourishing liquid of Chen-er, I feel like there is no need for other treasures", Zhan Long spoke.

"Huan-er, what is your situation? Have you found your breakthrough point yet?", Si Yue looked towards his eldest son.

Zhan Huan shook his head helplessly. Si Yue comforted him and started the conversation about the royal family.
