Chapter 556: Setting Out on the Return Journey

ards to the solitary tent.Upon entering the cramped tent, I saw the Third Princess lying on a wooden board. Her face was flushed, her eyes tightly shut, and her breathing was very rapid. Even in sleep..."Young Master, are you alright Don't scare me! I've already notified the family members in Eastern Continent, they will arrive soon."

Lu Ya anxiously asked.

"It's fine, just looks terrible. It didn't hit anything vital."

The ripples will have some messy black hair flung behind her head, as she speaks with a faint smile.

"Having bled so much, how could he be alright."

La Ye grumbled, and after seeing Lian Sheng take the magic circle that he had cast to protect the young master away, he immediately walked over and helped him up.

Just as Lian Sheng, Lian Mo, and the holy knights Lian Jia were approaching Ripples, a magic circle rose beneath Ripples and Laya's feet, expelling the Lian family members. A fire-feathered bird carried a dignified man in purple robes slowly descending from the air.

Laye lifted her head and saw the Firebird, as well as the person on its back. Immediately, she happily said to Ripples beside her:

"Young master, it's Elder Six. I didn't expect him to be here on his travels. He must have come after seeing my distress signal."

After thinking for a moment, Lian Yi decided that neither she nor her original body had ever met this Sixth Elder.

"The Sixth Elder has been traveling the world and returns to the family infrequently. I have only met him once."

La Ye immediately explained thoughtfully.

"Lien (La Ye) has seen the Six Elders!"

When the two saw the silver-haired, purple-eyed man standing before them, they immediately bowed respectfully.

"How could you be so disheveled"

George Rodman glanced over the ripples before he spoke in a low voice.

"Elder Six, it was my own carelessness. When I left Lotus House, a magic circle sent me here."

Ripple explained.

George turned his head to look at the Lian family. His violet eyes flashed, and he said to the three Lian siblings:

"Thank you for your help, I will take Lian to be treated."

Ripples, with Laya's help, bowed to Lian Sheng and expressed their gratitude for their rescue. Then they spoke the words they had prepared before:

"Lord Lotus Master, although this happened a long time ago, I think you should still investigate the Tang family. After hearing your words yesterday, although I thought my mother's situation was a bit of a coincidence, the Tang family was the one who benefited from it."

They only traded Toning's life for your mother's hatred of the Lian family and severed ties with them. My father also dislikes the Lian family, and even my existence hasn't improved relations between you and the Rhodesman family in the slightest. You haven't benefited from the Rhodesman family at all.

I actually thought of what you said last night. The reason both our families don't object to Liansi and Tangning's relationship is that their union would solidify the ties between our families and allow us to help each other, leading to better development for both families.

But Lian Si marrying into the Rhodenman family means our Lian family's development will definitely surpass Tang Family. They certainly won't want to face this situation and it's very possible they'll do something about it."

Lian Sheng said helplessly.

Before yesterday, there were some things he didn't understand. After meeting Lian yesterday, he learned about some things he didn't know, and began to suspect the Tang family.

Seeing that Lian Sheng had noticed on his own, Lian Yi didn't say anything more.

George watched as both sides finished their farewells, then immediately activated the magic circle, taking Ripple and Laje out of the derelict yard.

Ripples and LaYe's eyes blinked in the blink of an eye, appearing at George's temporary residence.

"Lotus, go tend to your wounds first."

George sent ripples directly.

"Yes, Elder Six."

The ripples hadn't fully recovered, so it quietly went to heal itself. Meanwhile, La Ye reported to George about their journey and unexpected events they encountered since leaving the Roadman household.

"Elder Six, this is not the first time Young Master Lian has encountered an assassination."

Lu Yé frowned, her brow furrowed tightly.

"Do you have a direction in mind"

George asked in a low voice.

"Yes."

"Who"

"Emilio, Master Emilio."

Lao Ye spoke directly.

"Do you have any evidence"

"There isn't any for the moment, but I believe that if we keep searching, we will definitely find it."

"I understand, so don't bring this up when it comes to lotus noodles."

"Yes!"

"Will you continue your journey of training"

George continued to ask.

"That depends on the young master's own wishes."

Lao Ye wouldn't dare to make decisions for the young master.

I suggest you return to the Rhodem family as soon as possible. In half a year, Lian will enter the Monster World. You need to prepare in advance.

If the mastermind behind this is still alive and wants to hurt Lian, you can't rely on luck every time. I can't always be there to save the day.

George said softly.

"Yes, Elder Six, La Ye understands your concern. I will advise the young master to return to the Western Continent as soon as possible."

Actually, Lao Ye was also frightened by the ripples all over his body.

Ripples took three days to recover, and after her injuries healed, she was forced to say goodbye to Leah, Raoul, and Gloria.

Three people knew that Young Master Lian had only gone to his mother's family and was nearly killed. Moreover, the assassins targeting him were becoming increasingly powerful, a high-ranking mage and a paladin—there was no chance for Lian to escape.

"Fortunately, we didn't fall behind in our cultivation while we were in Yimache City. Young Master even broke through to a high-level mage. Otherwise, we wouldn't have been able to hold on until our family came to rescue us."

Lāyè said with lingering fear in her voice.

"This time, I happened to meet the elder who is traveling outside. I'm going back to the Western Continent with the elder and will continue training with all of you. I'm afraid I might hold you back."

Ripples shared her decision and explained the reasons behind it.

After a moment of silence, everyone expressed understanding for her decision.

The rest went smoothly. Ripples and Raoul settled the details of their future collaboration, then bid farewell to their companions. Ripples and the Sixth Elder set off on their return journey.

Anyway, since the ripples have achieved their purpose on the Eastern Continent, even if there are still some invaders left unaccounted for, with those eight captured by them, the Association's bigwigs should be able to figure out the enemy's details and won't be so passive in the future.

Lianyi followed closely by her family's saint mage, naturally seizing the opportunity to learn from him, especially regarding magic arrays related to the realm of grand mages. Lianyi was preparing to advance her magic level by one before entering the Phantasmal Beast Space.

George understood Lian's eagerness to improve quickly, but he didn't want her to focus solely on the speed of cultivation and neglect the foundations. He believed that steady progress was better, and besides, Lian wasn't even eighteen yet. Her current cultivation level was already among the best for her age, so there was no need to rush.

So George intentionally slowed his pace on the way back, telling Ripple many stories about his travels abroad, hoping to enrich her experience.

For Lian'er the Ancestor, who had completed ten face-making missions, his experience wasn't extensive. However, he treated it like listening to stories, accepting George's guidance while simultaneously increasing his "experience." It took him two months before he returned to the Rhoden home.

When Emilio heard that Ripple and the Six Elders had returned to the family, he was complaining to Conner about how he had been restricted when he recently went to the family treasury to collect cultivation resources.nt wrong.Ripples looked anxious, her words were hard to doubt, at least the man in front of her didn't."This is normal. We just finished transforming the werewolves here, and they'll also experience a...
