After listening to Serena King's words, Evan Yang was stunned. "Mom, you mean Sovereign Frost is my uncle?"
"That's right. Back then, I heard he went to the Blue Plane, so your father and I went too, but there was never any news of him. I never imagined his injuries were so severe," Serena King sighed.
"Looks like when I get the chance, I'll pay a visit to my uncle," Evan Yang said.
"Mm, next time I'll go with you. Where's your father now? How is he?" Serena King asked.
Evan Yang explained everything that happened later—how his father was released, how Evan saved him, and so on. By the time Serena King finished listening to the whole story, her eyes were already red. "Han'er, you've gone through so much." "Mom, I'm not tired. As long as you two are safe, that's all that matters," Evan Yang said with a smile.
"Such a good child. Let's go home," Serena King said.
Evan Yang nodded, then took Serena King and headed back toward the Yang Family.
As for Evan Yang, Yang Lin, the Wine Beggar, and Yang Min, the three of them spent their days waiting for news about Evan. After all, Evan had destroyed the Lynn Family Patriarch's physical body, and that event still echoed in their minds.
Lynn Immortal Sovereign had also come to the Yang Family several times to search for Evan Yang. The Alliance Leader found out about this and came multiple times to inquire, even seeking out the Lynn Immortal Sovereign for a detailed conversation.
Although the Lynn Immortal Sovereign knew the Alliance Leader wanted to protect Evan Yang, he still secretly searched for Evan many times. After all, regarding Lynn Ziqiong's situation, the Lynn Immortal Sovereign knew about it, but had no idea what method Evan used to force out those ten needles. "Second Brother, stop worrying. With Evan's abilities, he'll find a way to avoid the Lynn Immortal Sovereign," the Wine Beggar said.
"How could I not worry? The Lynn Immortal Sovereign's strength is overwhelming—Evan Yang doesn't stand a chance. In front of him, Evan Yang can't even fight back," Yang Lin said helplessly.
"Didn't the Alliance Leader already say, if Evan Yang shows up, just have him stay hidden and not let the Lynn Immortal Sovereign find out?" said the Wine Beggar.
"I'm still worried," Yang Lin sighed.
Yang Min also said, "Second Brother, worrying won't help. We've been through a lot with Evan Yang. He's not someone who'd get caught so easily."
"Let's hope so," Yang Lin said helplessly.
Ming Yang, as the head of the Yang Family, felt unprecedented pressure. Evan Yang had offended the Lynn Family, and even the Lynn Immortal Sovereign had stepped in. If the Yang Family had an Immortal Sovereign themselves, he wouldn't worry about Evan Yang. But now things were way beyond what he expected.
As for Terry Yang's parents, they worried day and night about Terry Yang's safety. Back then, Terry Yang was still trapped in the Devil Realm and hadn't returned yet. Their hatred for Evan Yang wasn't ordinary. When they notified the Fenn and Lynn Families, their goal was to destroy Evan Yang. But who could have known that even the Lynn Family Patriarch would be weakened? That was something they never expected.
"That Evan Yang just won't die—it's so frustrating!" Terry Yang's mother said angrily.
"Don't worry. I've already notified everyone. If there's any news about Evan Yang, they'll inform the Lynn Immortal Sovereign right away. Let's see who can save him then," Terry Yang's father snorted coldly.
"Dad, seriously! Why is Evan Yang always the good one, but our Tian'er is always at fault?" Terry Yang's mother protested.
"Enough," Yang Tian's father said, feeling frustrated.
Yang Han knew the Lynn Family wouldn't stop searching for him. He also had some insights to deliver to them.
After arriving at the Yang Family, the first thing Yang Han did was hide himself, making sure no one knew he had returned.
Qiong Xinyuan was inside Yang Han's artifact. When Qiong Yun saw her aunt, she looked nervous. Qiong Xinyuan was surprised to see Qiong Yun with Yang Han, but after they talked, they understood the situation and also got to know two other women.
Yang Han went straight to Yang Ming. Outside Yang Ming's study, he saw Yang Ming pacing back and forth with a frown. Yang Han sent a voice transmission: "Family Head Yang, please enter the study."
Yang Ming was shocked—he knew exactly whose voice that was. Without hesitation, he pushed the door open, then closed it after a while. Only after the door was shut did Yang Han reveal himself.
Seeing Yang Han alive and safely back, Yang Ming was excited. "I knew you'd be fine, kid!" he said.
"Sorry for making you worry, Family Head," Yang Han said with a smile.
Although Yang Han didn't call him 'Grandpa,' Yang Ming was still very pleased. He asked, "Good thing you didn't show up directly. If anyone found out you were back, they'd definitely cause trouble for you."
"The Lynn Family, right?" Yang Han smiled. "Yeah, that Lynn Patriarch hasn't forgotten about you," Yang Ming replied.
"Once I'm strong enough, I'll cause him trouble myself," Yang Han said.
"He's got Venerable-level strength. Don't act rashly," Yang Ming said.
"I didn't mean right now. By the way, can you help call my father over?" Yang Han asked.
Yang Ming knew Yang Han wanted to see his father, so he nodded. "No problem." He called Yang Lin and the others over.
The group was curious why Yang Ming summoned them, so they came to the study. When they saw Yang Han, everyone was thrilled.
"Kid, you're really something," the Drunken Beggar laughed.
"Heh," Yang Han chuckled.
"Han'er, you didn't suffer, did you?" Yang Lin asked excitedly.
"No, Dad. And I even brought someone back with me," Yang Han said with a smile.
Yang Lin didn't know who Yang Han brought, but when Yang Han introduced Qiong Xinyuan to everyone, they were all surprised.
"Second Sister-in-law!" the Drunken Beggar and Yang Min said in unison.
Yang Lin felt like something was stuck in his throat, unable to speak, but his eyes never left Qiong Xinyuan.
"Dad, Third Brother, Fourth Sister," Qiong Xinyuan said excitedly when she saw so many familiar faces.
"It's good you're back, it's good you're back," Yang Ming said excitedly, feeling like all his guilt had vanished.
"Are you alright?" Qiong Xinyuan asked Yang Lin.
Yang Ming and the others exchanged glances, then took them to the secret room. Yang Han stayed outside to discuss what had happened with Yang Ming and the others.
"I always thought I'd never see you again," Yang Lin said emotionally.
"Me too," Qiong Xinyuan said, moved.
In the end, the two hugged, as if they'd been through countless hardships and years apart. But right now, they were happy—not only reunited, but Yang Han had grown even stronger than they'd imagined.
Outside, Yang Han briefly explained what had happened. Yang Ming said, "I never thought you'd go places none of us dared to go."
"It's all thanks to someone," Yang Han thought of Venerable Frost. If not for him, Yang Han wouldn't have even known where the Water Palace was.
"No matter who it is, they're a benefactor to our Yang Family," Yang Ming said with a smile.
The Drunken Beggar and Yang Min were overjoyed at Yang Han's family reunion. Yang Min asked, "Should we tell everyone?"
"We can't. Venerable Ling is still after Yang Han. If he finds out, he'll come looking for us," Yang Ming said.
Yang Han nodded. "That's right. Let's leave it at that for now."
Even though Yang Han wanted to, he held himself back.
Meanwhile, when Yang Tian's parents heard that Yang Lin and the others had been called away by Yang Ming, they grew suspicious. They started asking around, trying to figure out what was going on.
After chatting with Qiong Xinyuan for a while, Yang Lin came out. Seeing Yang Han getting along with his family, Yang Lin said, "Han'er, you've grown up. You don't need us to worry about you anymore. So, your mother and I have made a decision."
"What decision, Dad?" Yang Han asked.
"We're planning to go back to the Blue World. Back then, we escaped there to live a peaceful life, but we were found. Now, we're not afraid anymore. The Water Palace won't bother us, so we're going back. It's quieter there," Yang Lin said.
Yang Han thought it was a good idea. They could avoid the trouble brought by his current situation. He smiled, "Dad, Mom, I support you both."
"Alright, we'll get ready to leave right away. What about you?" Yang Lin asked.
"I want to go to the Blue World too, but I have some things to deal with right now," Yang Han said.
"No worries, you go handle your business. In the Blue World, nobody will mess with us," Yang Lin laughed.
"Alright, I'll see you off," Yang Han said.
Yang Lin and Qiong Xinyuan nodded. They said goodbye to Yang Ming and the others. Although Yang Ming was reluctant, seeing their family reunited made him happy. He smiled, "Seeing you all reminds me of the old days, but now it's all happiness."
"Dad, don't worry. We'll be fine," Yang Lin said.
"With you saying that, I'm at ease. Go on, and if you need anything, come find me," Yang Ming said.
Yang Lin nodded. Yang Ming and the Drunken Beggar escorted Yang Han out. Since Yang Han had snuck in, he snuck out as well—coming and going like a shadow.
After Yang Han left with Yang Lin and Qiong Xinyuan, Yang Ming said, "Seeing them all well makes me happy."
"Dad, don't worry. With Yang Han around, Second Brother and Second Sister-in-law will be fine," the Drunken Beggar laughed.
"Exactly. Yang Han is truly a good man of our Yang Family," Yang Min said with a smile.
"Yeah," Yang Ming smiled.
Yang Han, Yang Lin, and Qiong Xinyuan passed through several planets. Yang Han released Yang Lin and Qiong Xinyuan from his artifact and said, "Dad, Mom, I have something I need to do. I hope you can forgive me for not accompanying you."
"Don't say that. If you have things to do, just go. And be careful," Yang Lin said.
Qiong Xinyuan nodded. "That's right. Also, remember—if the Ice-fire seal is ever undone, come find us in the Blue World."
Yang Han nodded. "Alright, I will."
Yang Lin and Qiong Xinyuan reluctantly said goodbye to Yang Han.
Yang Han composed himself and rushed off in a certain direction—one of his clones had been killed.
Yang Han sensed this while he was at the Yang Family, so he had to hurry to the scene and figure out what happened. A clone is never as strong as his true self, and by the time it reacted, it was already killed. Yang Han was worried—because he was concerned for Nangong Yanxia.
