Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
‘The next morning, Zhou Hao left the Red Cliff Abyss and took a plane back to Qu City.
Regarding this return, it was naturally done in secret. Although Zhou Hao had many friends who wanted to see him, after thinking for a moment, he decided to not see them first. After all, many of his close friends were not in Qu City and had gone to the various training bases.
‘When Zhou Hao arrived in Qu City, it was already afternoon. He hurriedly returned to Yang Garden Residence and prepared to go home.
However, just as he reached home, he saw a familiar figure and was immediately stunned.
Xu Ling!
That’s right, it was Xu Ling!
Zhou Hao did not expect to see Xu Ling here. At this moment, she was accompanying his parents and talking happily. It could be seen that his parents were also very happy. Zhou Hao took a deep breath and walked over.
“Dad, Mom, I’m back.”
Zhou Hao’s sudden return made Wang Shuyun and Zhou Xueguo extremely excited!
“Little Hao, you’re back!”
‘Wang Shuyun’s eyes turned red. She had not seen her son for so long, so she was naturally excited.
It was not only Wang Shuyun. Even Zhou Xueguo was the same. He looked at his son and was so excited that he could not speak.
There was also Xu Ling. Although the two of them had not seen each other for only a few weeks, she almost could not control her emotions the moment she saw Zhou Hao and wanted to fall into his arms.
If not for Zhou Xueguo and Wang Shuyun, Xu Ling would have pounced over long ago.
Zhou Hao looked at Xu Ling. With regards to her not replying to his messages, Zhou Hao could also understand that she must not want to cause trouble for him. After all, even her communication equipment might have been monitored!
“Xu Ling, why are you here?” Zhou Hao asked with a smile.
“Ah… I… just… Icame to Qu City to do something, so… so…”
Xu Ling was a little nervous and her face turned red. On the other hand, Wang Shuyun could tell what was going on and could not help but say.
“Ever since Xu Ling returned to the Jiangnan Base, she has visited us twice. As for you, hmph, you haven’t been back for so long!”
‘Wang Shuyun could not help but say. Of course, she could tell that these two liked each other.
However, the couple also knew about the situation in Xu Ling’s family and knew what their son had to face!
“Dad, Mom, let’s go in and talk. Let’s not stay outside.”
After all, Zhou Hao had returned secretly this time. Moreover, his assessment was in a week, and Zhou Hao did not want to cause too much commotion.
“Then you guys chat. I… ‘ll go back first,” Xu Ling said.
Of course, she wanted to stay with Zhou Hao for a while longer, but she still understood that Zhou Hao had not seen his parents for a while. His parents must have missed him terribly and had a lot to say. It was not good for her to stay here either.
“Alright, I’ll look for you later. How many days will you stay in Qu City?” Zhou Hao asked.
“I should be able to stay for a few more days. I’ll stay at my house,” Xu Ling said with a smile.
“Alright.” Zhou Hao nodded.
After Xu Ling left, Zhou Hao and his parents walked into the villa. Just as they entered, Wang Shuyun could not help but say, “Son, Xu Ling is a good girl. I don’t care. No matter what you do, you have to marry her into the Zhou family, understand?!”
“Mom, don’t worry. I will.” Zhou Hao smiled.
“Yes, I’ve already decided on this daughter-in-law anyway. I don’t care about anything else.” Wang Shuyun also smiled.
“You’re really a busybody. Son, why did you suddenly return without informing us in advance? Did you also choose to stay back in the base?”
They still knew a little about the choices facing martial artists who broke through to the supernatural level. They had learned about most things from Xu Ling.
“L… didn’t choose to retum. I just took a few days off. I still have to leave in a few days,” Zhou Hao couldn’t help but say.
“Ah… you still have to leave? Son, can you return to the Jiangnan area and be a special envoy? I can’t bear to be away from you,” Wang Shuyun held Zhou Hao’s hand and hurriedly said.
“Look at you. You’re really a woman. My son is a martial artist now. If he wants to fight for the sake of the human race, how can you be so greedy to hold him back? Don’t interfere in his work. I believe my son will choose well!”
Zhou Xueguo said at this moment. He understood his son’s mission and was also proud of him!
“L.. Iwas just saying.” Although Wang Shuyun also understood this, she still couldn’t help but want her son to stay by her side.
However, he also knew that it was wrong for her to think like this.
Zhou Hao smiled. He also understood what his parents were thinking, but he still could not listen to his mother. Although he could not change the situation with his strength alone, there were still many problems for the humans. Zhou Hao naturally had to do his best!
“Dad, Mom, let’s not talk about me for now. How have you two been?”
Zhou Hao changed the topic and asked with a smile.
“Of course it’s very good. Ever since you became a martial artist, your father and I have been living comfortably. No one in the unit dares to bully us anymore. Your father’s factory is also doing well. You don’t have to worry about us,” Wang Shuyun said with a smile.
Zhou Hao understood that he was now a supernatural expert. To Qu City, he was basically a god. Those people naturally knew.
After dinner with his parents at night, Zhou Hao walked out of Yang Garden Residence alone.
He really wanted to see Xu Ling now. He did not know how she had been during this period of time and also wanted to ask her in person why she did not reply to his messages. Was it as he had guessed?!
After sending Xu Ling a message, the two of them arranged to meet at the school field.
It had been a long time since they returned to school. At this time, there were naturally no outsiders in the school. The two of them were supernatural experts, so it was still easy for them to enter the school quietly.
‘When Zhou Hao arrived at the school, he felt Xu Ling’s aura. She was in the classroom. Zhou Hao walked into the classroom and saw Xu Ling, who was sitting in her seat quietly and elegantly, looking at something.
Sensing that Zhou Hao had entered, Xu Ling looked up and smiled. “It’s been a long time since we returned to school. To be honest, I really miss school.”
Zhou Hao smiled and walked over to sit beside her. “That’s right. Miss Xu was very strict with me back then!”
“Tch, if not for me, would you have improved so much today? Shouldn’t you be thanking me?” Xu Ling covered her mouth and smiled.
“Of course.”
Zhou Hao smiled and took a deep breath before asking, “Xu Ling, why haven’t you replied to my messages recently?”
When Xu Ling heard Zhou Hao’s question, she also revealed a difficult expression. She thought for a moment and said.
“It’s not that I don’t want to contact you. I just don’t want to cause you trouble. You… you should know my difficulties…”
Xu Ling’s expression was filled with loneliness. Of course, she did not want to ignore Zhou Hao, but there were many people in the family who spied on her. If she and Zhou Hao continued to be like this, she would really cause trouble for Zhou Hao!
Especially the Long family!
