Qin Haodong persuaded Yan Feifei, but Qin Zongheng is not going to stay here. “Don’t stop me,” he said. “I’ve been away from the secular world for more than 20 years and there’s no need to go back now.”

Qin Haodong was annoyed to see his father being so stubborn. “If you go back and be a monk, what about mom?”

Qin Zongheng let out a long sigh and said, “Qin Zongheng hasn’t fulfilled his responsibility and there’s only Hao Yue now.”

That’s what he thought. After leaving for so many years, he was too ashamed to face his wife.

“You’re running away. You’re a coward.”

But Qin Haodong was relieved after hearing his words. If he was too ashamed to face Chu Xuanyue, he didn’t take everything as emptiness. Since he still had affection for his wife, Qin Haodong might be able to bring him home.

Qin Zongheng fell silent for a moment, and then said, “I don’t care whether I’m a man or a coward. I have to leave now.”

Then he waved his hand gently, and an invisible force pushed Hu Xiaoxian, Feng Wu, and others aside.

Knowing that this was Qin Haodong’s father that he had been looking for for many years, the girls didn’t know what to do. They all looked at Qin Haodong for help.

“Wait a minute,” Qin Haodong stopped Qin Zongheng and said, “I have already taken control of six of the seven major families in the capital, and I haven’t figured out how to deal with the Qin family yet.

Considering what the Qin family has done, I can totally destroy it. But I haven’t made the final decision for your sake. I want you to take over the Qin family, but since you’re not going to come back, I can only destroy it.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zongheng’s expression finally changed. “You can’t do this. After all, he is your grandfather.”

“I was adopted as an orphan since I was a child. If I didn’t even have a father, how can I take Qin Zhan’ao as my grandfather? Well, if you come back, I’ll keep the Qin family, and if you turn down my offer, I don’t think the Qin family should exist in the capital.”

“What…”

Realizing that Qin Haodong was not joking, Qin Zongheng hesitated. For someone who grew up in aristocratic families, the family’s interests were his top priority. That was why he would rather leave than break with Qin Zhan’ao.

Seeing the victory close at hand, Qin Haodong continued, “It has been difficult for my mother to live alone for those years, and she has been pursued by countless people. But she has always been thinking of you and never agreed to remarry.

If you leave again this time, there’s no need for her to remain single. I’ll tell her that you’re dead and find a good man for her.”

Upon hearing this, Qin Zongheng was immediately enraged. “You brat, how dare you!”

Qin Haodong gave him a playful smile and said, “What’s there to be afraid of? I’ll do it if you dare to leave!”

“You…”

Qin Zongheng was rendered speechless and has been persuaded. Although he was wearing a kasaya, he still did not forget his beloved wife.

“Come home with me. You don’t even have a ring scar on your head. You can’t even be regarded as a monk.”

Then he took his father’s arm and rushed to the capital with members of the Tang Sect.

Qin Zongheng had wanted to be a monk because he thought he had let his wife down. But his son has changed his mind and Qin Zongheng was now extremely eager to see Chu Xuanyue.

Those standing at the foot of the mountain were confused. They didn’t know why Master Hao Yue would follow Qin Haodong.

Others didn’t know what had happened, but Qin Zhan’ao immediately recognized that Master Hao Yue was his son, who had been missing for years. They were father and son, after all.

If Qin Haodong hadn’t recognized Hao Yue as his father, Qin Zhan’ao might have suspected that the two just looked alike. But now Master Hao Yue followed the members of the Tang Sect, so this man must be Qin Zongheng.

After the shock, he said excitedly, “He’s Zongheng! My son’s finally back!”

Qin Zhanlong asked, “Brother, what are you talking about? Where is Zongheng?”

Qin Zhanfeng also asked, “That’s right, big brother. Are you crazy?”

“He… he’s Zongheng!”

Qin Zhan’ao pointed at Master Hao Yue and said, “No wonder there has been no news of him these years. It turns out that my son has become a monk.”

It was only now that everyone realized that Master Hao Yue was Qin Zongheng. They were the same person.

Upon hearing Qin Zongheng’s return, the members of the Qin family were excited at first, but then their emotions became complicated.

Since Qin Haodong took charge of the capital, the relationship between the Qin family and the Tang Sect was ambiguous compared with the other six families. Because of what the Qin family had done before, Qin Haodong did not have a good impression of them.

So they had always been afraid that the Tang Sect might destroy them if they did something wrong.

Now that Qin Zongheng who was at the middle stage of the Saint Realm, had returned to the imperial capital. If he was in charge of the Qin family, the whole family might be great again.

However, according to the current situation, Qin Zongheng had not forgiven them yet. Otherwise, he would have come over to see them.

Therefore, it was still impossible to determine whether his return was a blessing or a curse for the Qin family.

For Qin Zhan’ao, boundless remorse came flooding back once again. He had an outstanding son and a powerful grandson. But they didn’t take themselves as a member of the Qin family just because of a mistake he had made years ago.

He sighed, waved his hand and said, “Let’s go back!”

After they left, the other six big families also returned to the capital. Other practitioners who came to watch the fun also left. Calm was returning to the vast Kunlun Mountain once again.

In the Tang Sect, Chu Xuanyue was playing with the little fellow while Qin Haodong came in excitedly.

“You’re back. Where have you been? It’s just me and the little guy at home.”

Fearing that his mother would be worried, Qin Haodong didn’t tell her about the battle between him and Zhan Wudi.

He smiled and said, “I brought you something precious. It’s a big surprise. Do you want to have a look?”

“Something precious? Is it that Xiaoxian and the others are pregnant?”

Chu Xuanyue cried out in surprise.

Qin Zongheng had disappeared for so many years, and she was almost desperate now. What she wanted most was a grandson.

“Mom, grandson will be born in our family. How can I bring him back from the outside?”

Qin Haodong took out a black scarf which he had prepared to cover Chu Xuanyue’s eyes. “You’ll see the surprise after a while.”

“Haodong, what are you doing!”

Chu Xuanyue pretended to be annoyed, but she let her son blindfold her. In fact, she enjoyed the intimacy between them very much.

After more than ten seconds, Qin Haodong said, “Please get ready. The moment of happiness is coming.”

Then he suddenly removed the black scarf.

“What…”

Chu Xuanyue was about to say something, but she suddenly became silent as if someone had grabbed her neck. A man she had been dreaming of for years appeared in front of her.

Qin Zongheng, the man whom she had been thinking about for so many years, was standing in front of her, which made her feel like she was in a dream.

Qin Haodong had already taken off his father’s cassock and let him put on a suit. He looked as handsome as his son!

Chu Xuanyue slowly stretched out her hands, holding Qin Zongheng’s face and said, “Zongheng, are you really back? Or am I dreaming?”

“Xuanyue, it’s me. I’m back…”

Qin Zongheng said as he held her in his arms.

Feeling his solid arms, Chu Xuanyue was sure that she was not dreaming. All of a sudden, many years of grievances came flooding back and she burst into tears.

Qin Haodong knew that it was not suitable for him to stay here at this moment. He picked up the little fellow, walked out of the room, and closed the door for his parents.

Lin Momo, Hu Xiaoxian, and the other girls were all waiting outside. They were curious about the couple’s reunion after a long separation, but they were too embarrassed to walk inside.

The little fellow asked curiously, “Papa, who is that bald man? He has made Grandma cry. Why don’t you throw him out?”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Tang Tang, that’s your grandfather. Don’t talk nonsense.”

“Grandpa? Why did he bully Grandma?”

“He didn’t bully Grandma. That’s a tear of joy.”

The little girl still didn’t get it. She asked again, “Why is grandma so happy?”

“Because grandma loves grandpa’s haircut. She thinks that his shaven head looks great.”

Hearing such a ridiculous answer, the other girls burst into laughter.

“Oh! It turns out that the shaven head is great.” The little fellow seemed to understand and then said, “Papa, I want you to shave your head tomorrow.”

Qin Haodong smiled and said, “Okay, but I’m afraid your mothers won’t agree.”

Qi Waner rolled her eyes at him and said, “Of course I don’t agree. You might flirt with nuns if you’re a monk.”

Hu Xiaoxian nipped at his waist and said, “If you dare to run away from home and be a monk, we will pull your temple down, castrate you, and let you be a eunuch.”

Noticing the angry look in their eyes, Qin Haodong quickly said, “No, no, I won’t be a monk. I have so many good wives. How can I be a monk?”

They held a grand banquet to celebrate Qin Zongheng’s return that night.

The next day, Qin Zongheng returned to the Qin family alone and discussed with Qin Zhan’ao, head of the Qin family, in a secret chamber for the whole morning. Then, Qin Zhan’ao officially announced that Qin Zongheng would replace him as the head of the family.

In the Tang Sect, Qin Haodong was about to help Su Hui with her clinic while Xuanyuan Lige came to him.

Qin Haodong knew that something must have happened when the leader of the Xuanyuan Pavilion came here, so he asked her in the living room, “Is there any news of the Alien Demons?”

Xuanyuan Lige said, “It’s not about the Alien Demons. I got some news about Angel Pharmaceutical. After careful investigation by the intelligence officers of the Xuanyuan Pavilion, it’s confirmed that the headquarters of Angel Pharmaceutical is in City H of M Country.”

“Have you got a specific location?”

Xuanyuan Lige said, “We haven’t figured out the specific location yet. Their nominal headquarter is also there. Under the cover of the pharmaceutical company, their headquarters must be hidden somewhere remote. Until now, we haven’t found out where it is.”

Qin Haodong nodded. “Of course, the Alien Demons must be hidden somewhere secret. Otherwise, they would have been discovered a long time ago.”

Xuanyuan Lige continued, “Sacred Master, there is one more thing that has happened. I think it’s necessary to report it to you.”

Qin Haodong said, “What’s the matter?”

“Sun Fengqing and Sun Bowei suddenly disappeared in a few days after they arrived in City N of M Country. We failed to find them after searching for a long time.

The Sun family has already called the police. I guess it has something to do with Angel Pharmaceutical. It is very likely that they took them away.”

Hearing this news, Qin Haodong was lost in thought. He killed Dr. Ginns in Yunnan Province and ruined the plan of Angel Pharmaceutical.

It was easy for Angel Pharmaceutical to find out that Sun Fengqing had got involved in his treatment of the zombie virus. Moreover, he also had the prescription of the Sanbao Blood-Cleansing Pill, so it was reasonable for Angel Pharmaceutical to take him away for related research.

After a while, he said, “It seems that I have to go to M Country.”

Sun Fengqing’s enthusiasm and open-mindedness for traditional Chinese medicine impressed him greatly. This time he was taken away by Angel Pharmaceutical, which had something to do with him.

In order to save Sun Fengqing and Sun Bowei, as well as to find the secret of Angel Pharmaceutical, he was determined to go to M Country.
