Sword Shatters Stars

Chapter 242 Back home

Lin Xiufeng laughed in anger.

The instigator acted recklessly and ran away, leaving them to clean up the mess.
Fortunately, it didn't cause any other problems, and the matter was over.

I reckon the people patrolling here are probably quite experienced and this isn't the first time they've encountered such a capricious situation.

Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru hadn't gone far when they suddenly saw a boat ahead, with Renhe and Fangyuan standing at the bow, waving at them.

"How dare you wave?" Lin Xiufeng was about to lose her temper as soon as she boarded the boat.

With a carefree grin, he said, "I'm doing this for everyone's good. Look at how angry that person is, I want to punch him."

"..." Lin Xiufeng was speechless.

Yes, that willful temper...

Can she maintain the mindset of an ordinary person, an equal mindset, and abide by the original laws, regulations, morals, and order of Tianlan Star, just like Lin Qiru?
Lin Xiufeng suddenly realized the difficulties of life for a Heavenly Warrior upon returning home—

The hardest part is the mindset!
The change from the environment of the Dream Continent to the Blue Planet where everyone lives by the rules is truly immense!
Lin Xiufeng thought for a moment and suggested:

"Think more about your past life, and don't forget that we are human beings."

He retorted defiantly, "Are we really still human? That wasn't my full-force leap."

"We are humans with heavenly martial power, that's a fact," Lin Xiufeng emphasized earnestly.

Fang Yuan then led someone over and said:
"This person buys gold jewelry, and his prices are higher than the official prices set by the Tianwu Group."

Lin Xiufeng understood. The ship was at sea waiting for the returning martial artists to bring back precious metals so they could buy them up.

These items were originally required by the Tianwu Group to be sold only to the government, but in reality, they were not strictly investigated.

If it's sold privately, then it's sold; of course, it goes to whoever offers the highest price.

Lin Xiufeng and his team each carried back a bag, filled with gold of high recycling value.

Lin Xiufeng feigned curiosity and asked the man:

"If you keep guarding like this, how long will it take to see even one Heavenly Warrior return? Are there many people returning now?"

"Who knows? Making money always takes time."

The man didn't care about revealing what he knew, and continued speaking while examining the gold jewelry:
“There have been significantly more people returning in the last few months, and there are also familiar faces I’ve seen several times in a short period of time. Some of them don’t look like members of the Heavenly Martial Group; they don’t seem like good people.”

"But when we asked, they wouldn't tell us and even yelled at us, so we didn't dare to meddle."

After dealing with the gold jewelry I brought back, I was in a great mood.

Each of them carried back 400 kilograms of gold jewelry in a specially made scale-armored bag.

After the transaction was completed, each person received 800 million.

"My God! Suddenly I have so much money, I never even dared to dream of it before! How am I going to spend it?"

Suddenly, I felt like I was back on Planet Tianlan.

Money can buy a lot of things!
Lin Xiufeng reminded everyone, "Don't forget that 100 kilograms are for people in the organization. Each person should have a list and be responsible for distributing the money properly."

"I know, I know! How could I forget!"

Renxing was thinking about how to spend the money and didn't want Lin Xiufeng to spoil his mood.

The four men got ashore, found someone willing to drive them back to Linhai City for a fee.

Fangyuan and Renxing lived closer to each other, so they got off the bus first.

Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru returned to their familiar neighborhood and immediately felt a sense of warmth and comfort...

They attended primary and junior high school at the school near the entrance of their residential community, but they weren't in the same class at that time.

I was in the same class as someone from a high school far from home.

After entering the south gate of the community, the first building on the left is Lin Xiufeng's home, and the first building on the right is Lin Qiru's home.

"Should we go home first? Or to my house? Grandpa and Grandma are at Auntie's, right?"

Lin Qiru knew the situation; after Lin Xiufeng left, his grandparents went to live at his aunt's house.

"I'll go back first to find some wine to store. I just became a son-in-law, so I can't come empty-handed." "Okay. Then come over for dinner after you've rested." Lin Qiru guessed that Lin Xiufeng wanted to sort out his emotions at home alone, so she gave him more time.

"Okay, it's been a long time since I've had a good meal. The restaurant by the sea was a bit lacking."

Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru said goodbye. They looked at each other, walked backwards together back to their respective buildings, and then turned around and went inside together.

Lin Xiufeng returned to the house she hadn't been to in a long time and found that almost nothing had changed.

Especially in his parents' room, nothing had changed except that the towels were neatly folded and the table was exceptionally clean and dust-free. The furnishings were exactly the same as before.

His companion robot and the housekeeper robot were not there; they must have gone with his grandparents to help out at his aunt's house.

Lin Xiufeng lay down on the bed, closed her eyes and rested for a while, then went to her parents' room and lay down in the middle of the bed.

From childhood to adulthood, he always liked to be a third wheel, feeling especially safe and warm between his parents...

Lin Xiufeng fell asleep without realizing it...

When he opened his eyes and woke up, he saw Lin Qiru lying next to him.

When he returned, he had already granted Lin Qiru access rights, so it wasn't surprising.

"Have you been here long?"

"It won't be long. I'll go over when my mom calls."

As Lin Qiru spoke, she handed the newly purchased miniature robot to Lin Xiufei.

Do you have a backup phone number?

"Yes." Lin Xiufeng always had two phone numbers, so he installed them and sent a holographic communication call to his aunt...

"Auntie, I'm back..."

"You brat! You ran off without a word! Why are you only coming back now..."

My aunt cried with tears in her eyes, scolding me...

Lin Xiufeng couldn't help but burst into tears...

Lin Qiru hugged him, feeling his pain deeply, and tears streamed down her face. She couldn't help but regret that she should have let Lin Xiufeng go to his aunt's house to meet his grandparents first...

Lin Xiufeng chatted with her aunt for a while, agreed to go over tomorrow, and then sent a holographic communication call to her grandfather...

I'm home, I'm home...

Lin Xiufeng truly felt that he had come home...

For several days in a row, Lin Xiufeng was busy contacting her relatives and friends.

My friends are all at university, and it's not a holiday yet, so we can only keep in touch by phone.

There was basically no surprise in learning that he and Lin Qiru had gotten married. Anyone who knew them would know that this was a natural and inevitable outcome.

If the two of them weren't together, it would be strange to them.

Twenty days passed in a flash. Lin Xiufeng and Lin Qiru transferred the equivalent value of the gold shares entrusted to them by many people in the Anti-Heaven Organization to their families, and informed them of the situation and their plans to return home to visit their relatives.

Next, they will be involved in a banquet hosted by relatives and friends.

Their relatives and friends were unaware of their situation. Lin Qiru's parents hoped that at least a simple banquet and a meal would be held so that relatives and friends from both sides could meet them and learn about their marriage.

Lin Xiufeng originally felt that things wouldn't be peaceful, and Lin Qiru thought so too.

Considering the wishes of Lin Qiru's parents, Lin Qiru did not want to reveal the real reason for her predicament.

Lin Xiufeng still decided to remind Lin Qiru:
"It's best to tell the truth, so that my parents can understand, and they will find a reason to stop it from happening with relatives and friends."

"If Zhao Youyue or Zhao Zongshan's martial arts friends cause trouble, and they get the upper hand, we'll be in a more passive position, and our parents will be in a very awkward situation."

Lin Qiru knew that Lin Xiufeng was right, but she couldn't bear to worry her parents and hoped that the time she spent visiting them would only be pleasant and reassuring.

Therefore, she wanted to try her best to fight for it.
