——(POV third person, inside the meeting room)——

"Junxiong! Why are you always creating problems?" Han Caiyi said as he looked at his son. He didn't have such a problem with Junxiong these past years so he couldn't understand why he acted this rashly and fought a junior.

Han Junxiong who was dusting off his robes was going to explain the situation to his disciple and the elders who entered the room as he could see that they were puzzled by this situation, but then he heard his father's voice and his face lost all color.

He didn't know what in the seven hells happened that his father decided to show up personally but whatever it is, it couldn't be good for him. He was thinking of what to say as it was important that he defuse the situation before it can create a bigger problem.

'B-But what is this situation?' Han Junxiong thought as he really didn't know what he has done that made his father angry.

From the corner of his eye, Han Caiyi saw someone getting up from a bed that was in the middle of the meeting room. He thought that his stupid son was using the sect's meeting room like his personal room and was sure that the person on the bed was female, but when he looked at 'her' he froze and forgot that he was going to scold Han Junxiong.

"Father." Han Junhui stood in front of the bed and bowed to his father. His father, Han Caiyi was the one who guided him in the way of cultivation and he has learned all he knows from him.

Han Caiyi was stunned as he heard the voice of his eldest after all these years and he didn't look older than when he entered the trial. He looked at him who was bowing to him but thought that this might be some sort of illusion so he looked around to make sure that he isn't seeing wrong. Although he was checking his surroundings he didn't stop walking toward Han Junhui.

The other grand elders were almost as shocked as he was so he knew that they were watching him too. He then looked at Han Junxiong who was looking at him with the same look that he had whenever he would find one of his slip-ups, then his attention went toward the one who stood beside Han Junhui. She was none other than Peng Borong who was with his son back then and the one his wife calls daughter-in-law. She gave him a warm smile and also bowed.

Seeing her Han Caiyi didn't have any more doubts about this and quickened his steps toward Han Junhui.

Han Junhui didn't raise his head and kept bowing. Han Caiyi stood in front of him and clasped his shoulders and straighten his back. Han Caiyi hardly controlled himself so that he don't cry this instant.

After what happened to his eldest son, he tried his all to find what happened to him or at least retrieve his body. 'How could I call myself a father if I can not even do that?' He used to say to himself. He did all he could, told each and every disciple that would enter the trial about this test with the full detail about the formation, this test, and that door. Years passed but no one was able to find anything. They either weren't able to find the formation or even when it was found, no one was able to enter that specific door as it would not call to them.

They even conducted small tests to see if they can somehow bypass the requirement to enter that room but that too was fruitless. That damn test seemed to be created flawless so he could only wait and see if there will be a day that he can either enter it himself or someone could enter the trial and not only find the formation and get into that door, they could also finish a test that his son was unable to finish.

As unlikely as it was, the chances of the second case happening was more than his chances to break into such a space and find his son but he would try if he could.

"I am back, father." Han Junhui said as he looked at his father. Seeing his father's face up close, he understood that his disappearance had a bigger effect on others around him than himself.

"Good." Han Caiyi said and patted Han Junhui on his arms a couple of times. He didn't add a word as he knew that if he were to say anything else he might start crying.

Everyone had happy expressions on their faces as they understood what this meant, only that Li Huang's smile was a little stiff.

'…What the hell am I doing here?' Li Huang thought to himself as this seemed to be something that would take some time. He couldn't just walk away from here but he couldn't keep staying here too.

He looked around to see if he can get out of here with an excuse, when Han Junxiong decided to use him to calm his father's anger.

"Father, this is Li Huang who found Junhui's body in that test." Han Junxiong said as he put a hand on Li Huang's shoulder and walked closer to his father.

Li Huang kept his smile as he was thinking about the appropriate 'words' to describe Han Junxiong. He couldn't believe that Han Junxiong just used him like this.

"Oh?" Han Caiyi said as he looked at Li Huang.

"Greetings grand elder, I am Li Huang, the chief disciple of the heavenly sword sect." Li Huang introduced himself politely. Now that he was put in this situation he decided to milk it as much as he can. Having good relations with the family head of the Han family, one of the big families of the divine central continent is always welcome.

"So you are Li Long's grandchild, am I right?" Han Caiyi nodded and asked.

"Yes, grand elder." Li Huang nodded as he still held his fists cupped. From what he knows about this Han Caiyi, he is from the same generation as his grandpa so this much humility is a must.

"What grand elder? Call me uncle! Me and your grandfather were like brothers back in the day!" Han Caiyi said as he smiled at Li Huang.

Li Huang wanted to say that his grandfather's brother is not called uncle, but he knows better so he complied.

"Yes, uncle." Li Huang said. He now looked at it from a different angle, not many can say they can call the head of the Han family uncle, so this has to be some sort of achievement.

"HAHA, good. I can't give you anything from our sect but if you want anything from my personal items or the Han family's vault, say the word and it shall be yours." Han Caiyi said without any sign of hesitation.

Li Huang was shocked by this as he didn't think of asking for a reward for what he has done and he thought that this would at most gain him some goodwill from the Sky Pillar sect.

"Uncle, I can't accept—" Li Huang said as he didn't want to be the one who has put a price on Han Junhui's life but Han Caiyi stopped him from completing his sentence. 𝒇𝐫ℯ𝑒𝒘ℯ𝑏n𝑜ѵ𝐞l.c𝗼𝗺

"This is my personal request, don't be hasty on your answer. We can talk about this later." Han Caiyi said and Li Huang nodded to his words.

When Han Caiyi has said this much, it would only be rude for Li Huang to continue where he left off.

"Also, know that you are invited to these two's wedding!" Han Caiyi said as he pointed at His eldest son and Peng Borong who turned red as soon as she heard his voice. 𝑓𝗿𝐞𝘦𝘄ｅ𝘣n𝘰𝘷eƖ.c𝘰𝗺

Han Caiyi laughed and contacted his wife to come here without telling her about Junhui's return, because he knew that she would faint on the spot when she hears the news.

Well, it didn't change things much as when she got here, she fainted on the spot, as she saw her son back and alive.

What followed was Han Junhui getting a full checkup by her mother right there in the room that was embarrassing for everyone, and more so for Han Junhui himself.

Li Huang who wanted to get away from there had to stay for a little longer now that he was with his 'uncle'.

Nearly half an hour later Han Junhui came to Li Huang and put a hand on his shoulder.

"Thank you." Han Junhui only said this much but the meaning was clear to Li Huang who nodded to him.
