Chapter 2987

Naturally, those Divine Thoughts only scanned Xiao Hua and Li Zongbao for a moment before landing on Fairy Hong Xia.

In a moment, three to five Cultivators hurriedly flew out from the gate and rushed towards the three of them. Xiao Hua could see clearly that the person in front of him was Cai Haisong.

Although they hadn't seen each other for decades, Cai Haisong's hair had turned white and he was covered in wrinkles. However, his tall, thin figure, square face, and bright eyes were exactly the same as when Xiao Hua first met him.

In fact, his tightly shut lips were even more majestic than before!

However, at this moment, Cai Haisong's tightly shut lips were trembling. His bright eyes were flashing with surprise and love.

The several people near him were also in the early stage of the Foundation Building realm. Although they were also old, Xiao Hua could still recognize them. They were none other than Cai Haisong's several clan brothers, Cai Shansong, Cai Fengsong, and Cai Hesong.

When Fairy Hong Xia saw that her father was coming, she was overjoyed. She ignored Xiao Hua and hurriedly flew down.

Unfortunately, before Fairy Hong Xia could call out "father", Cai Haisong suddenly stood in mid-air. Cai Shansong and the rest also stood respectfully. The four of them bowed together and said, "Master of the Cai Family of Luyang, Cai Haisong, and his clan relatives, Cai Shansong, Cai Fengsong, and Cai Hesong, greet Fairy Hong Xia of the Huanhua Sect!"

Fairy Hong Xia was stunned. Then, her face showed bitterness. She hurriedly stopped. This was the etiquette of the Huanhua Sect. It was the face of the Huanhua Sect. She didn't dare to avoid it and accepted the bow firmly. Then, she returned the bow and said, "Master of the Cai Family, please rise!"

Then, Fairy Hong Xia pointed at Li Zongbao and Xiao Hua who were flying over and said calmly, "This is Li Zongbao of the Utopia Sect and Xiao Hua of the Imperial Thunder Sect!"

"Yes, Master of the Cai Family of Luyang, Cai Haisong, and his clan relatives, Cai Shansong, Cai Fengsong, and Cai Hesong, greet Senior Brother Li Zongbao of the Utopia Sect and Senior Brother Xiao Hua of the Imperial Thunder Sect!"

Cai Haisong and the rest did not dare to tarry as they hurriedly bowed again. Furthermore, unlike the way they treated Fairy Hong Xia, they even added the words "Senior Brother"!

As a disciple of the Huanhua Sect, Fairy Hong Xia was naturally afraid that there would be a difference in etiquette when she returned to the Cai Family Sect in Luyang. However, Li Zongbao and Xiao Hua were a little different. When the two of them heard Cai Haisong address him as Senior Brother, their faces were already filled with fear. They looked at each other and hurriedly extended their hands, saying anxiously, "Senior Cai, please don't stand on ceremony!"

As they spoke, the two of them were about to activate their Fa Li. However, as soon as they released their Fa Li, they immediately felt that it was inappropriate and simultaneously withdrew their Fa Li.

However, the two of them immediately returned the greeting, not daring to accept it like Fairy Hong Xia.

"Senior … Cai?"

Cai Haisong and the others were bewildered. They looked at Li Zongbao, then at Xiao Hua, and finally at Fairy Hong Xia.

At this moment, Xiao Hua looked like he was in the middle stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. However, he had previously visited the Cai Family Sect in Luyang when he was around Qi Refining Stage Level 9. He could be considered an old acquaintance of the Cai Family. It was barely acceptable for him to call him "Senior".

However, Li Zongbao was now in the late stage of the Foundation Establishment Stage. Furthermore, Li Zongbao's name was like the sun in the sky in the three cultivation countries. Everyone knew that he was the strongest person below the Golden Core Stage. How could he call him "Senior"?

However, when Cai Haisong saw the slight blush on Fairy Hong Xia's face, he could not help but laugh. He looked left and right at the few disciples of the Sect. His eyes were filled with realization.

"Head of the Cai Family, let us descend and speak!" Fairy Hong Xia was naturally a little shy!

However, she still spoke in a proper manner.

"Yes, please!" A smile appeared on Cai Haisong's wrinkled face as he respectfully stepped aside.

Fairy Hong Xia's face was also formal as she raised her hand and said, "Senior Brother Li, Junior Brother Xiao, please!"

"Alright!"

Xiao Hua was clearly impatient with this kind of etiquette. He glanced at Li Zongbao and descended from the sky. Li Zongbao did not mind and also landed on the ground.

On the other hand, Cai Haisong and the rest were a little surprised. Fairy Hong Xia could be considered as half a host. Naturally, she would invite Li Zongbao and Xiao Hua to go first. However, Li Zongbao's cultivation level was higher than Xiao Hua's, so Li Zongbao should be the one to land first.

Furthermore, Li Zongbao was the leader of the first group in the Conference Hall. If he did not go first, who would?

However, Cai Haisong immediately understood. When Xiao Hua came to the Cai Family Sect decades ago, he was originally a rogue cultivator. He probably did not know about this kind of etiquette.

Looking at Li Zongbao's magnanimous appearance, Cai Haisong's eyes almost narrowed.

When the group of people landed, the Cai Family disciples standing by the vermillion door bowed and greeted them respectfully. However, there were two early Foundation Establishment disciples in front of the group. They looked to be middle-aged, but their facial features were very similar to Cai Haisong and the rest.

Xiao Hua looked at the disciples in front of him who were around the tenth level of Qi Refining and sighed in his heart. A few decades ago, when he first came to the Cai Family Sect, most of the disciples he received were at the third or fourth level of Qi Refining. In just a few decades, the Cai Family's cultivation level had increased by more than a level!

In fact, other than the Family Head and the rest who had already built their foundation, even the second generation disciples had built their foundation!

"Yingjun, Hong Sheng, the two of you have cultivated well!" Fairy Hong Xia looked at the two disciples who were much older than her and said with a smile.

"Many thanks for elder sister's praise!"

The two disciples respectfully replied, "Our Cai Family is proud of elder sister. We follow elder sister's example and cultivate diligently.

Our cultivation level is nothing in front of elder sister! "

"En, it has been hard on you!"

Fairy Hong Xia felt a little bitter in her heart. She knew that the two of them were able to cultivate to the Foundation Establishment stage in the Cai Family Sect. If they were in a cultivation sect, their future would be bright. However, the two of them stayed in Luyang for the sake of the Cai Family Sect's future. These two would definitely be the candidates for the position of Family Head in the future.

"Elder sister and the rest have worked harder than us!" The two of them smiled and said, "Our Cai Family Sect still needs the support of elder sister and the rest!"

"En, elder sister understands!" Fairy Hong Xia nodded.

Then, Fairy Hong Xia waved her hand and said, "You all can rise!

The matter between the Huan Hua Sect and the Cai Family Sect is over. Now, it's time to pay respects! "

"Hong Xia, you can't!" Cai Haisong hurriedly stopped her, "Did you get the Huan Hua Sect's permission to return to the Cai Family Sect?

You have to show us the Huan Hua Sect's token first! "

At this point, Fairy Hong Xia couldn't care less. Looking at Cai Haisong's bitter face for the sake of the Cai Family Sect's prosperity, she knelt on the ground and said sadly, "Father, this Boy is unfilial. He hasn't returned for so many years. You've worked hard!"

"Hong Xia ~" Cai Haisong couldn't help but feel sad. Tears flowed down his face as he went forward to support his daughter. Seeing that Fairy Hong Xia was also crying, he used his rough hand to wipe away the tears on her delicate face and said, "Hurry and get up. You're already so old!

You'll be a joke to outsiders! "

"It's alright, father. We're not outsiders!" Fairy Hong Xia whispered shyly.

"En, father knows!" Cai Haisong looked at Li Zongbao with great satisfaction and said, "You're not young anymore!

Furthermore, you're not a disciple of our Cai Family Sect. These matters aren't something that father can handle. Everything depends on your sect.

However, father is very satisfied. After the Great Battle of Dao Sword, father has been inquiring about the battle. You and … Fellow Daoist Li and Fellow Daoist Xiao's deeds, we've heard it word by word. We've heard it more than once!

You've really given the Cai Family Sect face! "

Cai Haisong then turned to Li Zongbao and said, "Fellow Daoist Li, in the future …"

"Father …" Fairy Hong Xia's face turned red as she said shyly, "It's not Senior Brother Li …"

"Ah?"

Cai Haisong and the others were stunned and immediately felt slightly disappointed in their hearts. However, after a moment, Cai Haisong smiled again and looked at Xiao Hua and said, "Fellow Daoist Xiao, I'll leave the future matters to you!"

How could Xiao Hua not see Cai Haisong's disappointment?

However, if he asked himself honestly, Xiao Hua's current performance … was indeed far inferior to Li Zongbao, whether it was in terms of cultivation or so-called "family power". However, Xiao Hua could see the sincerity in Cai Haisong's smile. It came from the bottom of his heart!

Although Cai Haisong's last words weren't many, they were heavy. They were the expectations of a loving father for his daughter's future happiness!

"This junior will!"

Xiao Hua bowed respectfully. Although this wasn't considered a dual cultivation ceremony, Xiao Hua didn't dare to be negligent.

"Get up!" Cai Haisong smiled through his tears and extended his right hand to lift Xiao Hua up.

However, he was satisfied. Cai Shansong and the rest, as well as Cai Yingjun and the other juniors, weren't too happy. The difference between Li Zongbao and Xiao Hua was obvious. Moreover, Li Zongbao's name was too famous now. Although Fairy Hong Xia, Xiao Mao, and Xiao Hua followed closely behind, they were still far away. These people were complaining that Fairy Hong Xia didn't look for Li Zongbao, but went to look for Xiao Hua instead.

In fact, when Cai Haisong lifted Xiao Hua up with his right hand, he looked at Li Zongbao with some regret. He was still a little puzzled as to why Li Zongbao addressed him as Senior.

Xiao Hua stood up respectfully, but Fairy Hong Xia didn't. Instead, she clapped her hands and took out a jade box from her storage bag. She raised it above her head and said, "Father, this is your daughter's gift to you. Please accept it!"

"Oh?"

Looking at Fairy Hong Xia's respect and the jade box, Cai Haisong's heart was already full. He said lovingly, "You child, you've left enough things for the Cai Family of Luyang. These things are all for cultivation. You can use them as much as you want!

Father doesn't lack anything! "

"Father, this thing has nothing to do with cultivation. It's your daughter's filial piety. Take a look first!"

Fairy Hong Xia said coquettishly. Although Fairy Hong Xia wasn't young anymore, her appearance was still the same. Looking at her, Cai Haisong felt that she was still the child he used to love. He couldn't help but smile and said, "I know. Father, take a look!"

When Cai Haisong opened it, he was stunned. It was just an ugly elixir. He really couldn't tell what kind of elixir it was. However, he still happily said, "Good child, Father will accept this item!

Get up! "
