Home, Wandering Cloud City!

At this moment, many people saw a huge crane flying closer and closer in the sky until it landed at the entrance of the city. A man and a woman descended from it.

The cultivator who controlled the crane took Lin Bai’s spirit stones, bowed, and then rode off on the crane.

At this moment, Lin Bai held Zhao Fei’er’s hand and looked at the city gate of Wandering Cloud City. He was very excited.

“I’m finally back!” Lin Bai exclaimed and could not wait to bring Zhao Fei’er enter the city.

The two of them came down from the crane. The guards did not dare to stop them and let them in.

To them, anyone who could ride a crane was immortal.

Because of the system, Lin Bai’s lifespan increased several times, and his body greatly improved in quality. Even his appearance had become younger and younger. He now looked like a young man in his twenties.

With the system’s existence, he did not need to consume Youth Retaining Pills to maintain a youthful appearance.

Many years ago, Lin Bai remembered that his family had a good background. His father was a wealthy merchant in Wandering Cloud City who owned several shops, and they lived a prosperous life.

“I wonder how my father’s business is doing,” Lin Bai said, eager to see his parents.

Soon, Lin Bai led Zhao Fei’er to a mansion he had lived in as a child based on his memory. However, when he raised his head and looked up, he could not help but frown.

“Hmm? What’s going on? Wasn’t this Lin Manor? Why does it is Wu Manor?” Lin Bai was confused. He knew that his parents would never sell the mansion because they had told him that they were afraid he wouldn’t be able to find his way home if they did. This mansion was not supposed to be sold.

Although many years had passed and some of the surrounding buildings had changed, he could not be mistaken about this place.

Lin Bai became anxious and tried to recall recent years. There had been very few letters from his family, and the resources they could provide him had also decreased. However, every time there was a letter, there would be something sent to him.

His parents had never mentioned anything about changes to the mansion.

Lin Bai went forward and knocked on the door. Not long after, a servant opened the door.

The servant saw Lin Bai and Zhao Fei’er and felt that the two of them had an extraordinary aura, unlike ordinary people. He quickly asked, “What can I do for you, my lords?”

After some communication, Lin Bai finally understood that the Lin family had sold the mansion to Wu Manor a few years ago, and the current situation of the Lin family was not very good.

When he arrived at the address of the Lin family, Lin Bai hurriedly brought Zhao Fei’er along to find them. It was a very simple shop with the name “Lin’s Store” written on it.

It was already quite late, so Lin Bai went forward and knocked on the door.

“It’s so late. Who is it?” an old man in his sixties asked after he opened the door.

When he opened the door and saw Lin Bai standing outside, he was dumbfounded.

“Hey, the child’s mother, come quickly, Lin Bai is back!”

The old man who opened the door was Lin Bai’s father, Lin Zhenfeng.

Soon, an old woman walked out. It was Lin Bai’s mother, Zhou Qiuyun.

Lin Bai looked at his parents, whose hair had already turned white, and his eyes welled up with tears.

“I’m sorry for coming back late and making you suffer,” Lin Bai said, blaming himself.

“It’s good that you’re back, it’s good that you’re back!” Lin Zhenfeng suddenly saw Zhao Fei’er next to Lin Bai and his eyes lit up. “Who is this?”

Zhao Fei’er blushed and said, “I’m Lin Bai’s partner.”

“Oh, I see. Let’s come inside,” Zhou Qiuyun urged.

After some communication, Lin Bai finally understood what had happened.

It turned out that ever since Lin Bai joined the Human Immortal Sect, his family’s business had been doing well. They owned several shops, and at their peak, they had almost ten shops. During that time, Lin Bai’s family could even afford to send him some cultivation resources.

However, a family named Wu family suddenly appeared in the city. They were an ordinary family, but because someone in the family was a cultivator, the cultivator reportedly started cultivating in the sect. But later, the cultivator left the sect and the Wu family settled in the Wandering Cloud City.

After that, the Wu family became very powerful. They secretly used methods, and many families in the city suffered losses. They used their identity as cultivators to bully others. Others dared to be angry but did not dare to say anything.

The Lin family’s shop had also been secretly sabotaged, causing it to become more and more difficult to operate. In the end, only this shop was left, barely managing to maintain itself. Their original residence had also been sold to the Wu family at a low price.

When Lin Zhenfeng said this, he gritted his teeth.

At that time, because Lin Bai’s cultivation level was very low, Lin Zhenfeng did not tell Lin Bai. He did not want Lin Bai to get involved.

Therefore, when sending a letter to Lin Bai, they never mentioned these things.

They also knew that cultivation was not easy, and it was not something that could be achieved easily.

Eventually, they were unable to continue providing Lin Bai with cultivation resources.

It was said that the cultivator from the Wu family was only at the sixth level of the Qi Refinement Stage, but he was stuck at the sixth level, and he was unable to continue cultivating. As a result, he left the sect and returned to his family to continue the family line.

Lin Bai’s expression turned cold upon hearing this news. He was determined to take charge of this matter.

The next day, Lin Bai exchanged his spirit stones for a substantial amount of money that could be used in the mortal world at the Wandering Cloud City. He then handed it over to his parents to keep the shop operating.

Zhou Qiuyun initially refused, wanting her son to keep the spirit stones for his cultivation. However, Lin Bai managed to persuade her, and she eventually relented.

Lin Bai went out with Zhao Fei’er several more times and discovered that the Wu family’s cultivator had used various means to take over some shops. In fact, this was normal. With a certain level of strength, how many people would be honest?

This was especially true for those who were unable to cultivate further. They were even more greedy for worldly possessions because they were unable to progress in cultivation, and their lifespan was limited. However, even if they were only at the Qi Refinement Stage, they were not easy to deal with for ordinary people.

If these people were to leave the sect, they would become even more lawless.

Furthermore, Lin Bai had heard that the immortal cultivator from the Wu family had married many wives. Most importantly, many of them were forcefully taken over.

It could be said that the Wu family’s immortal cultivator had the power in this Wandering Cloud City.

Lin Bai suspected that news of his return had already reached the ears of the Wu family’s cultivator.

After investigating for a few days, Lin Bai decided to take action. Such an immortal cultivator would be a disaster if he stayed in the mortal world.

Moreover, he was now an inner sect disciple of the Human Immortal Sect. If he found out that this cultivator was causing trouble, he had the right to enforce the law on behalf of the sect.

Although Wandering Cloud City was far from the Human Immortal Sect, it was still considered part of the sect’s territory.

Lin Bai gave his parents the gifts he had brought back and administered some pills that were highly beneficial to ordinary people’s health. This helped to alleviate some of their hidden ailments, and they seemed much more energetic afterward.

After taking care of his parents, Lin Bai prepared to reclaim the mansion.
