Chapter 121: Enter From the Side Door

Translator: Henyee Translations  Editor: Henyee Translations

Xue Fanxin walked in the weightless tunnel for almost four hours before she was freed. When she left the World Gate, she was on the verge of collapsing. She was dizzy, and stars were popping up on her head. She could not even stand up as she lay weakly on the ground, truly disoriented.

Xue Batian’s situation was the same as Xue Fanxin’s, or it could be even more serious. After all, he had lost his cultivation, so he was only an ordinary person now. Besides, he was old. He could not bear the torture of the World Gate.

Xue Yuan and his two subordinates did not have much of a reaction, but their faces were a little pale. They rested for a moment after leaving the portal.

“Move them into the carriage and rush back to the Xue family.” Xue Yuan did not care about Xue Fanxin and Xue Batian’s lives at all. He ordered someone to move the two people lying on the ground onto a carriage and drive them away quickly.

Xue Fanxin was too dizzy now and felt weak all over. She could only let them throw her onto the carriage like they were throwing rubbish and lie down weakly in the carriage.

Xue Batian received the same treatment.

It could be seen that the Xue family did not really welcome their return. It was only because the former patriarch was about to die that they wanted to fulfill his last wish. Once he ascended to the heavens, their treatment might be even worse.

Although Xue Fanxin was dizzy, she could still sense the outside world. She knew very well that she had been casually thrown onto a carriage. The carriage was traveling too quickly, making her even dizzier. It took her a long time to calm down a little.

“Grandpa, are you okay?” Xue Fanxin helped Xue Batian up and helped him breathe slowly to make him feel better.

Xue Batian had lost his cultivation. He almost lost his life when he entered the gateway this time. If not for his granddaughter helping him catch his breath, he would not have woken up so quickly. “Little Xin’er, I’m fine. Don’t be anxious. I’ve implicated you this time. I don’t know whether bringing you back to the Xue family is a mistake or not.”

“Grandpa, don’t think too much. There’s no right or wrong in this kind of thing. I was the one who chose to come back with you. No matter what happens, that is my own choice. Furthermore, we don’t have anything to ask of the Xue family. We just want to go back and see Great Grandpa one last time. After we’re done, we’ll leave. The Xue family probably won’t do anything to us. At most, they’ll give us some attitude or mock us.”

“I hope so.” Xue Batian looked out of the window, feeling uneasy.

The carriage quickly ran along the spacious and clean streets and reached its destination in less than an hour. It stopped outside the Xue family’s side door.

A servant was already waiting there anxiously. When he saw that Xue Yuan had returned, he rushed forward and said, “Butler Yuan, you’re finally back. Just now, someone from Old Master’s courtyard came to report that Old Master is about to die. He’s barely hanging on by a thread, waiting to see Second Master for the last time.”

When Xue Batian heard the servant’s words in the carriage, he got off without a care. He asked in a hurry, “Where’s my father?”

“Grandpa…” Xue Fanxin also jumped out. She wanted to argue about entering through the side door, but seeing how anxious her grandfather was, she didn’t say much.

This damned Xue Yuan actually made us walk through the side door. Just you wait and see.

Xue Fanxin glared at Xue Yuan before reluctantly following Xue Batian through the side door all the way to a certain courtyard.

Along the way, Xue Fanxin noticed the strange looks people gave her. The contempt, ridicule, and disdain were everywhere. Even the servants who were sweeping the floor were no exception. None of them took her seriously.

It seemed that there was a lot of disapproval toward her in the Xue family. There would definitely be a lot of trouble knocking on her door later.. She had to be mentally prepared.
