Chapter 165 Escape

Lu Xiuyuan escaped from the depths of the demon camp with mixed feelings. He passed through checkpoints one after another, feeling both worried and expectant - worried about the safety of his master Xuanjizi and his senior sister, and expecting the moment of reuniting with them.

When he finally came to a relatively safe open space, he saw two familiar figures from afar. Their figures were particularly clear under the moonlight. They were his master Xuanjizi and his senior sister.

Lu Xiuyuan felt like his heart was about to jump out of his chest, beating wildly. He opened his mouth wide, wanting to shout, but found that his throat was very dry, as if his voice was blocked by something.

Finally, he used up all his strength and uttered a hoarse and trembling cry: "Master! Senior Sister!"

These two words exploded in the air like thunder, echoing throughout the valley. Lu Xiuyuan's eyes were filled with anxiety and expectation, and he was eager to get a response from his master and sister.

However, the surroundings were still silent, with only the rustling of leaves in the breeze. Lu Xiuyuan's mood became heavier, and he could not help but start to worry about the safety of his master and sister.

After hearing this shout, Xuanjizi and his senior sister turned their heads sharply as if they had heard the sound of nature. Their originally tense faces relaxed instantly, but were then overwhelmed by a huge joy.

"Xiuyuan!" Senior Sister shouted in delight, and then she couldn't wait to run towards Lu Xiuyuan. She opened her arms, as if she wanted to hold him in her arms. Finally, the two of them hugged each other, and Senior Sister hugged Lu Xiuyuan tightly, as if he would disappear if she let go.

"I'm so glad you're okay!" The elder sister's voice trembled with excitement, and tears welled up in her eyes uncontrollably. Lu Xiuyuan also hugged the elder sister tightly back, feeling the warmth and peace of mind coming from her. He tried hard not to let his tears flow, but in the end he couldn't resist the surging emotions in his heart, and tears blurred his eyes.

"Sister, I thought...I thought I would never see you again..." Lu Xiuyuan said with a trembling voice. At this moment, no words could express his longing for sister and everyone else. All the hardships and difficulties he had experienced during this period of time seemed insignificant at this moment. "

Xuanjizi walked over with a smile, and seeing the brother and sister hugging and crying, he coughed softly, interrupting this touching scene: "Okay, okay, you are all adults, but you are still like children."

After Lu Xiuyuan and his senior sister slowly let go of each other's hands, they looked at each other, and then turned their gazes to Xuanjizi who was standing not far ahead.

Lu Xiuyuan knelt on his knees without hesitation, kowtowed respectfully to Xuanjizi, and said, "Master, please accept my respects! I am an unfilial disciple. I encountered so many twists and turns during this training trip. Not only did I put myself in danger, but I also made you worry about me. I really deserve to die!"

After that, he kowtowed several times to express his deep guilt and gratitude to his master. When the senior sister saw this, she walked to Lu Xiuyuan silently and knelt down to show her respect to Xuanjizi.

Xuanjizi helped Lu Xiuyuan up, his eyes full of praise: "Xiuyuan, you did a great job. Being able to rescue us shows that you have grown into a responsible man."

Lu Xiuyuan stood up, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Master, I will definitely work harder to protect you, Senior Sister, and our home."

Xuanjizi nodded and looked into the distance: "Yes, the road ahead is still long. We must work together to protect everything we have."

The senior sister walked lightly to Lu Xiuyuan's side, gently took his hand, and whispered: "Brother, let's move forward together. No matter what difficulties and obstacles are waiting for us ahead, we must work hand in hand to deal with them together." Lu Xiuyuan held the senior sister's hand tightly, as if he wanted to keep the warmth from family affection in his palm forever.

He knew that as long as he had his mentor and his sister by his side, he would be able to move forward without fear. Lu Xiuyuan was the first to break the silence, his voice trembling slightly: "Master, sister, are you all right?" His words revealed his deep concern for their situation.

Xuanjizi smiled and patted Lu Xiuyuan on the shoulder, saying, "Xiuyuan, thanks to Tianyi, we are all fine. We were able to escape this time thanks to your wit and courage."

Senior sister also took a step forward, her eyes slightly red, staring at Xu Tianyi, and said softly: "Tianyi, thank you very much. If you were not here, I am afraid we..." At this point, she paused slightly, and the gratitude in her heart could no longer be expressed in words. Xu Tianyi gently waved his hand, interrupting the words that Senior sister had not finished saying: "Senior sister, don't be so polite. We are a family, why should I say thank you? As long as everyone can be safe and sound, without any disasters, it will be the happiest ending."

Xuanjizi nodded in agreement. He slowly swept his eyes over everyone present and said solemnly, "This encounter has made us realize the importance of unity. From now on, no matter what difficulties and obstacles we face, as long as we are united and work together, nothing can stop us from moving forward."

Lu Xiuyuan clenched his fists, his eyes gleaming with determination: "Master is right, we must be more united and face future challenges together."

The senior sister also nodded in agreement: "That's right, we must work together to protect our families and homes."

Xu Tianyi smiled and said: "Then let us fight side by side and create our own glory together!"

The four people's eyes met in the night, and the trust and tacit understanding between them reached the peak at this moment. They knew that no matter how many difficulties and obstacles there would be in the future, as long as they were united, nothing could stop them from moving forward.

"Master, what are you thinking about?" Lu Xiuyuan noticed Xuanjizi's strangeness and couldn't help asking.

Xuanjizi retracted his gaze and turned to Lu Xiuyuan and Senior Sister, saying solemnly: "This invasion by the demon tribe is unusual. We must strengthen our defenses to ensure the peace of our homeland."

The senior sister nodded and said worriedly: "Yes, the demon tribe is very powerful, we must be fully prepared."

Lu Xiuyuan clenched his fists and said firmly: "Master, Senior Sister, please rest assured. I will work harder to practice, improve my strength, and contribute my own strength to defending my homeland."

Xuanjizi looked at Lu Xiuyuan, with a hint of admiration in his eyes. He nodded and said, "Xiuyuan, I see your growth. But the path of cultivation is not achieved overnight, it requires perseverance. You must remember that only by perseverance can you achieve real success."

The senior sister also encouraged: "Brother, I believe you can do it. We will help you together and grow together."

Lu Xiuyuan looked at his master and senior sister with gratitude, his heart full of confidence and motivation. He knew that with their support and companionship, he would be able to go further.
