A fat man twice the size of Mu Can followed closely behind the elder into the Mu Family.
Upon seeing Mu Can standing dazed on the platform, he exclaimed.
"Can brother, what happened to you? Can brother?"
His anxious appearance dispersed the fatigue from the journey on his face.
The elder led a group of people in a single file, heading straight toward Mu Can, who was standing with his eyes tightly shut.
Purple Cloud sensed a powerful energy approaching and spoke to Mu Can.
"Little brat, an old man is coming, I'm going into hiding."
The old man hurried to Mu Can's side and grabbed his wrist; a stream of pure energy flowed from Mu Can's arm into his body.
After a moment, the old man shook his head, puzzled, and asked,
"It's the Demon Heart Seal, what in the world happened?"
"Master, is Can brother alright?" the fat man anxiously asked.
"He's not in major trouble, he'll wake up soon, but his body feels very odd right now."
The old man increased the output of his energy, slowly smoothing out Mu Can's meridians.
Mu Can's eyelids trembled and he slowly opened his eyes.
Seeing the concerned faces in front of him, he felt a surge of warmth and almost burst into tears.
This strong young man, at this moment, felt moved to tears.
"Master." Mu Can rubbed his eyes hard and called out to the elder.
"It's fine, it's fine." The elder's eyes were also slightly moist.
After not seeing his favorite disciple for three years, the jade pendant he carried had broken three months ago.
Knowing something must have gone wrong with Mu Can, he hurriedly gathered people and rushed to the Mu Family.
The journey was long and rough, but he was relentless in heading to the Mu Family.
Fortunately, Mu Can was alright, otherwise the elder, who always treated Mu Can like a grandson, would regret not keeping Mu Can at the academy.
"Master, please check on Qingyi quickly, is she alright?" Mu Can pointed at Qingyi, who was lying on a chair on the other side of the stand.
"Little Bing, bring that girl over," the elder instructed the only female disciple following him.
Mu Can, seeing the icy-faced young woman, happily greeted, "Sister Bing is also here."
The woman ignored Mu Can and walked straight toward the unconscious Qingyi.
Mu Can scratched his head but didn't feel awkward, as everyone present knew about Bing'er sister's temperament.
On the side, the fat man stared at Mu Can with a look of grievance, "Can brother, why don't you pay attention to me?"
Mu Can felt a chill deeper than facing a monster earlier rushing over him.
He hugged the fat man next to him and grabbed the fat man's chubby cheeks, kneading vigorously.
Poor fat man, though significantly stronger than Mu Can, dared not resist.
While enduring Mu Can's reckless behavior, he looked at the elder with a face full of grievance.
Mu Can couldn't help feeling emotionally, the fat man's cheeks still felt so good.
Thinking this, his hands didn't stop moving.
"Old Hu, these three years, have you been listening to the master by his side?"
The fat man, known as Old Hu, whose full name is Hu Dingyi, was Mu Can's junior disciple; Mu Can always teased him as Dingyi Hu.
He was admitted to the academy just three days after Mu Can and gloriously became Mu Can's junior disciple.
While at the academy, Mu Can often took Hu Dingyi out to cause mischief.
He had long turned Hu Dingyi into his loyal little follower, and of course, they shared pleasures together.
But the one who ended up being punished was always the unlucky fat man.
However, for this junior disciple, Mu Can was the type who would only allow himself to bully him; no one else could trouble him even a bit.
There was once an incident in the academy where an older student bullied Hu Dingyi, and Mu Can found out about it.
Mu Can, the strongest freshman of the Immortal Ancient Academy, directly called a bunch of friends to help Hu out.
Eventually, they scared the older student so much that he dared not even leave his house.
However, that incident also caused Mu Can to make an enemy of a powerful force within the academy.
As a result, he offended a major student force.
This indirectly led to Mu Can's fall into the Fallen Eagle Gorge and losing his cultivation abilities.
But as they say, every cloud has a silver lining, and unknowingly, Mu Can was blessed to obtain the Reincarnation Pearl due to this misfortune.
Upon hearing Mu Can's question, Hu Dingyi's eyes reddened as he said,
"I have always been diligently cultivating, just wanting to be able to protect Brother Can."
Mu Can felt as if something soft inside him had been touched.
He said nothing, let go of the chubby face he was holding, and gently patted the chubby head.
This chubby guy, oh, my brother.
At that moment, Hu Dingyi's tears burst forth.
Mu Can raised his hand to wipe away Hu Dingyi's tears, pretending to be angry as he spoke.
"How old are you, still crying? You've become a little expert and still lack face."
An elderly man watching this scene had a faint smile on his face.
Bing'er walked over holding Qingyi, gently placing her on the chair.
"She's fine, just drugged. Have these people no humanity, to even lay hands on such a beautiful girl."
Bing'er looked at Mu Can and coldly said, as if Mu Can was the one who drugged Qingyi.
Mu Can finally relaxed and let out a breath, saying, "It's good that she's fine."
During the fight just now, his biggest concern was Qingyi's safety. He was always worried about Qingyi's safety.
"Is this your sister-in-law?" The fatty curiously asked while looking at the girl in bridal attire.
Hearing the fatty's words, Mu Can slapped him on the head and softly scolded,
"Sister-in-law my foot, you should call her sister."
Then, turning his head, he ingratiatingly asked Bing'er. Bing'er was the only one among their several siblings who knew medical arts.
"Sister Bing'er, when will she wake up?"
"She should wake up soon, she's not seriously hurt." Bing'er really lives up to her name, even her words are cold.
But Mu Can and others knew that Bing'er being cold was just an exterior; their sister cared about them quite a lot.
Every time Mu Can caused trouble at the academy, although reluctantly, Bing'er never refused to help.
"By the way, Master, how come you suddenly came here?" Knowing that Qingyi would wake up soon, Mu Can curiously asked the elder.
"Three months ago, your Protective Jade Pendant shattered, I knew something had happened here."
Despite traveling continuously for three months, the elder's white robe was still spotless, and he remained spirited.
Vice president of Immortal Ancient Academy, Xuanyuan Mingkong.
Hearing his master's words, Mu Can's face showed a hint of guilt. He knelt in front of the elder respectfully and said,
"It's the disciple's fault, making the master worry, traveling such a long distance for three months, you have worked hard, Master."
The elder gently waved his hand, and just as Mu Can knelt, an invisible force gently lifted him up.
"Silly child, you've always been the disciple Master loves the most, why say such things to Master?"
"Bro Can, what's wrong with your neck?" The fatty suddenly asked loudly.
On the back of Mu Can's neck, a ghost-face mark was faintly visible.
"A Demon General Level Demon Heart Seal, this is troublesome now."
The elder furrowed his brow and said.
