At the gate of the Lin Family's former residence, hundreds of people gathered around the soon-to-depart Lin Su.

The half-month deadline had arrived, and today Lin Su was to return to the Immortal Phoenix Sect, which still seemed unattainably high to many in the Lin Family.

"Su'er, remember to write back once you return to the sect!"

Holding Lin Su's hand tightly, unwilling to let go, Chen Yu's face was full of concern and reluctance.

Standing beside her, Lin Zhen Nan didn't show his emotions as openly; his hands were clasped behind his back as he quietly mumbled words like "A man's ambition is beyond the horizon," but his face occasionally betrayed a hint of concern.

"Dad, Mom, everyone, don't worry." Lin Su smiled, "As soon as I get back to the sect, I'll write to let you know I'm safe."

During this half-month with the Lin Family, he had a very pleasant time.

Apart from visiting the new site of the Lin Family, which was once the territory of the Yun Hao Empire, to check on the family's development, Lin Su spent the rest of his time at the Lin Family's old house.

For him, this place carried all the memories and warmth from the most bewildering period of his life when he first transmigrated to this world.

Because Lin Su was there, the family members of the Lin lineage chose to gather at this location during this half-month period.

In the Great Yan Kingdom, including the royal family, each family, and nearby families from other nations, all reacted especially friendly upon hearing of his return, encouraging their outstanding young members to engage with him.

With Lin Zhen Nan in charge, it wasn't Lin Su's place to meddle in family affairs. Those who were once unfriendly to the Lin Family had already been dealt with completely after his breakthrough to the Martial Arts Extreme Realm.

The four small figures quickly materialized, with expressions tinged with reluctance.

Moments ago, they had completed their farewells with the little companions they spent half a month with in the backyard.

"It's getting late; I should leave now." Lin Su gave his parents one final embrace and then vanished from sight with Dimensional Shift.

All that was left were the Lin Family members gazing towards the southeast.

That was the direction of the Immortal Phoenix Sect.

"I just feel that this time, when Su'er leaves, who knows when he'll come back again." Chen Yu's eyes turned slightly red, no longer holding back her feelings after the child's departure, as she couldn't help but wipe her tears with her sleeve, "I'm already starting to miss him."

"Su'er's future is destined for a much broader world than what the Lin Family can offer, where he can soar free." Lin Zhen Nan sighed softly, embracing his wife's shoulder and gently patting it twice.

"Let him go, but this will always be his home."

"We'll just wait for him at home."

…

In front of the grand mountain gate of the Immortal Phoenix Sect, a flash of silver light appeared, and Lin Su materialized.

"Alright, I should be off now." The voice of the Spirit Master quietly emerged.

It originally needed to roam the Eastern Extreme Domain, seeking out troubled souls to understand the seven sins and enhance itself.

Traveling with Lin Su this time was merely a matter of convenience.

Now that Lin Su had returned and was no longer in danger, it was time to part ways.

"Thank you for your guidance during these days, Spirit Master." Lin Su spoke earnestly.

In those days, the Spirit Master, acting as an immortal guardian in the shadows, not only ensured Lin Su's safety but also gave the four small ones some guidance when no one else was around.

With the support of the Fake Heaven Secret Realm for cultivation, the four small ones didn't fall behind in their training at home either.

Lin Su's eyes held a hint of longing as he caressed the pendant around his neck.

Originally, he planned to bring those little companions from the backyard to the Immortal Phoenix Sect.

The Disciple Hall was spacious enough to accommodate them, and just supporting Lin Su was manageable.

But knowing that his mother personally fed the little companions after he left, Lin Su reconsidered and ultimately abandoned the idea.

If he took those little creatures away too, his mother's heart would feel even emptier.

Anyway, he would make time to visit home in the future.

"It was nothing." The Spirit Master's voice was light, its presence quickly dissipating, clearly having departed.

Only then did Lin Su greet Wu Zun and quickly enter the sect.

The first thing upon returning to the sect was, of course, to pay respects to his mentor.

Inside the Sect Master Hall, Lin Su and Ji Qinghuan sat facing each other. He held a teapot in hand, pouring tea that was clear with a tea tint into a cup, "Master, this is some fine local tea I brought from home. Please have a taste."

"Alright." Ji Qinghuan took a sip from the cup and then nodded slightly, "The tea aroma is fresh, with a slightly sweet aftertaste. This tea is quite good."

"I'm glad you like it, Master." Lin Su set the teapot down, sitting upright and serious.

"How have you been getting along at home with your parents these days? Are your parents well?" Ji Qinghuan asked softly.

"Very well..." Lin Su immediately recounted the half-month he spent at home.

Listening quietly, Ji Qinghuan nodded slightly, "Actually, the sect has plans to make the Great Yan Kingdom our eighth directly controlled empire, but the journey is a bit distant, and relocating an entire nation requires careful planning."

"If that happens, it would be much easier for you to visit home."

"This... thank you, Master!" Lin Su's eyes widened, and his face immediately showed anticipation.

Once it became a directly controlled empire, the Great Yan Kingdom would relocate to the foot of the Immortal Phoenix Sect. By then, with a few times of Dimensional Shift, it would be just a short journey home.

"Directly controlled empires originally belonged to past sect masters or other members who made great contributions to the sect." Ji Qinghuan chuckled, "Not to mention you're my disciple, even based on your achievements, no one would oppose the Great Yan Kingdom becoming a directly controlled empire."
