"Wan Shu, how did you come?" Li Yuan was quite surprised.

  Only a few people know about my trip, including my family members and classmates like An Nong and Gu Qiang.

  There is no one else.

  "Haha, yesterday I wasn't fishing by the lake, but coincidentally ran into your uncle and talked about you." Wan Qinghe smiled: "Only then did I know you'd be back today."

  "It just so happens that I have a meeting at the Municipal Temple today, and after finishing up in the morning, I thought I'd come pick you up." Wan Qinghe said with a smile.

  "That's great." Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's good, can take Wan Shu's flight device to quickly get home."

  Li Yuan didn't see through him, was it really just a coincidence?

  Even if it were true, Uncle Wan didn't have to come to the airport to pick himself up.

  From Shimizudono to the airport is over ten kilometers.

  "Come on, your holiday is short, it's better to get home early, I'll send you a ride." Wan Qinghe smiled and said: "Actually, with your level, you can fully book the Wu Dian flying machine."

  "I didn't expect this." Li Yuan said with a smile.

  "Let's go."

  Two people walked through the detection channel and headed towards a small flying vehicle parked hundreds of meters away.

  ……

  On an aircraft.

  "How could the situation have deteriorated so much?" Li Yuan listened as Wan Qinghe described the situation in Jiangbei.

  This is a topic initiated by Li Yuan himself.

  It was also what he wanted to know.

  "Yes, this year's attack is unusual." Wan Qinghe nodded heavily: "Since the beginning of the year when you became a young hero, the scale has been increasing. August is the flood season... According to past conventions, after entering the dry water period, the Fish Spirit Star Boundary should be peaceful, but this year it has increased its offensive instead."

  "Especially in the past month, it can be said that there is a wolf smoke everywhere." Wan Qinghe sighed: "Jiangcheng suffered small-scale attacks, and Shizhou and Yizhou were more tragic."

  Li Yuan nodded slightly, he had been following the news recently and knew the general situation.

  "This Fish Spirit Clan is a humanoid creature, with intelligence high enough, how can they all be so reckless and fearless of death?" Li Yuan frowned and said.

  "Judging from above, it seems that a new wave of 'Fish Spirit Tide' is about to break out." Wan Qinghe sighed lightly.

  "What's this 'Fish Spirit Tide'?" Li Yuan wondered.

  He had never heard of it.

  "This is a concept recently proposed by Wu Dian."

  "As far as I know, the fish spirits in the Fish Spirit Realm like the one you first encountered are similar to the 'worker ants' in the ant tribe. They absolutely obey the leader's orders, and if the leader orders them to die, they will also listen." said Wan Qinghe.

  "Worker ant?" Li Yuan instantly thought of many possibilities, this kind of civilization model is not uncommon in the 'alien civilizations' that human civilization has come into contact with.

  "Their breeding speed seems to be very fast... In the past few decades, the Fish Spirit Star Realm has launched three ultra-large-scale attacks on Jiangbei Province."

  "It was fifteen years ago."

  "It was another thirty-three years ago."

  "The earliest one was forty-seven years ago." Wan Qinghe said quickly, "According to records, before each large-scale attack, the number of small-scale attacks will continue to rise."

  "About every fifteen years?" Li Yuan said, but he was thinking more in his heart.

  Fifteen years... It was the year when Mom and Dad passed away...

  "Right."

  "Therefore, there is speculation that a new wave of Fish Spirit tide is about to break out." Wan Qinghe said: "It's just that the main direction of the Fish Spirit tribe's attack has not been clarified yet, and from the existing signs, it is speculated to be in Shizhou and Yizhou directions."

  "After all, it's also closest to the entrance of the Fish Spirit Star Boundary, and there are signs of large-scale mobilization of Fish Spirit warriors."

  "Three large-scale attacks in history all occurred within a radius of one thousand kilometers around the entrance and exit of Yulinxing boundary."

  Li Yuan nodded slightly.

  Speculative reasoning.

  "So, the military and the two major martial halls have recently launched a large-scale operation in Xiang River." Wan Qinghe said: "Like some mechanical troops in Jiang City, the war-prepared Wuzhe troops have been secretly transferred to Shi Prefecture and Yi Prefecture."

  "What about other directions in Jiangbei Province?" Li Yuan hesitated.

  "There's no way." Wan Qinghe shook his head: "No one dares to confirm whether the Fish Spirit Clan will launch the Fish Spirit Tide, and where the main attack direction is if it does."

  "Our power is limited and we can only secretly make key preparations. Once there's a large-scale attack, we'll concentrate our forces to provide support... After all, Fish Spirit Star Domain isn't the main star domain."

  Li Yuan sighed inwardly.

  Indeed, there are many star boundaries within Xia's borders, and even more so for human civilization as a whole.

  There are many star realms that pose a greater threat than the Fish Spirit Star Realm... The power of human civilization is limited and can only focus on defense.

  There are even star domains like 'Robu Hai', which have been stationed with large troops for many years, and have a large-scale battle with alien civilizations... The resources consumed each year are astronomical.

  In comparison, the Fish Spirit Star Boundary was indeed not very impressive.

  "Don't think too much, the river city is still relatively safe." Wan Qinghe smiled and said: "You go home and accompany your uncle and aunt today, come to my house for lunch tomorrow noon."

  "I and Teacher Xu also agreed that we will come together tomorrow, he lives nearby." Wan Qinghe gave a reason that Li Yuan could not refuse.

  "Alright." Li Yuan said with a smile.

  Soon.

  The aircraft returned to Nanhu Xinghuo Community and came to the edge of Liyuan's villa.

  Li Yuan and Wan Qing descended from the aircraft.

  "Uncle Wan."

  "Wait a minute, I've brought you a gift, let's take it back together." Li Yuan smiled and said: "The gift was sent in advance, originally wanted to visit you when giving it to you."

  At the gate of the villa, Li Changzhou and Chen Hui, who had received the notice, walked out with a smile.

  "Uncle, Auntie." Li Yuan put down his bag.

  He then took the gift box from Li Changzhou and handed it over to Wan Qinghe: "Uncle Wan, I don't know what else to bring, but inside is a set of Kunlun Wuda's 150th anniversary alumni commemorative gifts."

  "It was remade by a teacher at school." Li Yuan smiled and said: "Although the school anniversary has passed, it's still a memento."

  Wan Qinghe is also a graduate of Kunlun Wu Dajue.

  "Thank you." Wan Qinghe smiled and said that last year was the 150th anniversary of Kunlun Wuda, but he didn't make it.

  Still quite regrettable.

  Wan Qinghe had only mentioned it in passing to Li Yuan, and didn't think that Li Yuan would actually remember it.

  Bring him a souvenir.

  "Alright, I'll go first." Wan Qinghe smiled and said: "Remember to come home tomorrow."

  "Okay."

  ……

  Wan Qinghe returned to his own villa in Nanhu Xinghuo Community.

  "Railway station." Wan Qinghe skillfully dialed the communication device and smiled, "Li Yuan has already agreed to come for dinner, so don't decline, let's go together."

  "Li Yuan has been muttering about visiting you on the aircraft, why don't you and your master gather together?"

  Hanging up and Xu Bo's communication.

  Wan Qinghe thought for a moment and sent a message to Song Wei: "Li Yuan returned to Jiang City today."

  Turn off Smart Ring.

  "This surname Song again owes me a small favor." Wan Qinghe's mouth corner revealed a hint of a smile.

  "Tired, old man."

  "Your status is too high, it's not good to get along with Li Yuan's family." Wan Qinghe muttered in his heart: "My status and strength... are just right."

  "Hey! In some ways, you've got to learn from me."

  ……

  Back home, took out gifts for uncle and aunt.

  The whole family sat down together to enjoy their lunch, which Aunt Chen Hui had prepared early in the morning.

  "Does Uncle Wan often go fishing by the lake?" Li Yuan listened while eating as his uncle talked about some family matters.

  "Hmm." Li Changzhou nodded and smiled: "It's hard to say whether Mr. Wan likes fishing or not, but he quite enjoys chatting."

  Li Yuan couldn't help but smile.

  His uncle had no other hobbies except fishing.

  "Uncle, it's alright, you guys talk about whatever you need to." Li Yuan smiled and said: "In the future, if there's anywhere I can help Uncle Wan, I naturally will."

  "It should be like this, he has a favor for our family." Li Changzhou said.

  Slowly.

  Li Yuan talked about some things in school, some of which couldn't be revealed according to the rules, but most of the content could still be discussed... But Li Yuan didn't mention that he would go to Xingjie to venture after the holiday ended.

  Good things can be shared with elders earlier, making them happy for a longer time.

  For example, when going home, Li Yuan told his uncle and aunt a week in advance.

  But bad news or something dangerous is best said later, so they worry less.

  "Does Qianqian and Muhua live in school dorms?" Li Yuan wondered.

  "Right."

  "Wudian's affiliated junior high school is like this, except for weekends, only Wednesday can go home for one night." Chen Hui smiled and said: "Tomorrow they will be able to come home."

  "That's settled then, I'll go pick them up tomorrow." Li Yuan smiled and said: "Give them a surprise."

  It's been a long time since I've seen my younger brother and sister.

  ……

  The first day back home, Li Yuan felt especially joyful, chatting with his uncle and aunt for a long time.

  After dinner, a guest came to our home.

  "Is it Lord Song?" Li Yuan showed a smile: "Please sit down."

  "Li Yuan." Song Wei smiled brightly, looking quite elegant, carrying several gifts.

  The most important thing is communication.

  She didn't have any other purpose, purely came to visit, and left after sitting for less than a minute.

  "These can be considered as masters of a party, and their noses are all spiritual." Li Yuan sighed in secret.

  Wan Shu is like this, Song Wei is also like this.

  Song Wei thought in her heart, Li Yuan saw it clearly and did not refuse the other's kindness.

  "What I want to do is just make myself stronger." Li Yuan saw through the essence at a glance.

  ……

  At over nine o'clock in the evening, Uncle and Aunt went to bed separately.

  The underground martial arts room is brightly lit.

  "It's time to start a new day of cultivation." Li Yuan revealed a hint of a smile: "From now until tomorrow morning at 7 o'clock, that's ten hours."

  Also on holiday.

  Other students want to socialize, reunite with relatives, and rest at night, which would greatly reduce their practice time, but for Li Yuan... a holiday?

  Just changed the practice time from all day to half a day.

  The real whole day and half day.

  "At least don't delay the observation method and source power absorption." Li Yuan said quietly.

  Li Yuan's skills had already reached the fourth stage extreme, and even if he went crazy training for a short period of time, it would be difficult to break through.

  Loosening up a bit now might not be a bad thing after all.

  But whether it's spiritual growth or physical quality growth... all are honed through hard work and dedication.

  Not a single day can be delayed.

  "Zhu Tian Xing Chen". Li Yuan sat cross-legged, closed his eyes and meditated quietly. As soon as his mind moved, he had already activated the life star pulse in his body, causing countless source powers to surge in.

  The source of power circulates and flows throughout the body, passing through every part of the torso, causing the muscles, bones, blood, and flesh to constantly transform.

  ……

  December 16th, noon.

  Li Yuan went to Wan Qinghe's home.

  In addition to Xu Bo, there was also a deputy hall master of Xinghuo Guanshan's sub-hall, 'Left Hall Master'.

  It was she who had participated in Li Yuan's 'Youth Hero Commendation Conference' on behalf of Xinghuo Martial Temple, and also knew Li Yuan.

  "Teacher, did you join the 'City Patrol Squad'?" Li Yuan listened as Teacher Xu Bo recounted.
