During this period of retreat, he not only completely absorbed the inner elixir of the two-headed lion and a plant of Yanzhi flower, but also took this opportunity to break through the bottleneck of his own cultivation and reached a new small realm.

At this moment, he felt the surging power in his body and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.

"Xiao San, thank you for always being with me." Shen Yan said to Xiao San.

Upon hearing this, Xiao San rubbed Shen Yan's arm, her eyes full of dependence and trust.

Shen Yan stood up, stretched his muscles, and opened the door of the secret room.

The sunlight shining on his face made Shen Yan, who had not seen the light for many days, squint his eyes involuntarily. He thought that he had no idea how Ah Jin was doing during these few months of seclusion.

However, he still had to meet the old man and his little fathers at the moment. Although he was extremely anxious, he still suppressed this impulse and walked towards the courtyard where the old man lived.

Unfortunately, before they could see the old man himself, a servant came to report that he had also entered a state of seclusion.

Shen Yan nodded slightly, indicating that he was aware of this matter, and then turned and headed towards the yard where Li Xuan was.

As soon as he stepped into the house, Shen Yan caught a glimpse of Shen Zhi who was having dinner with Li Xuan.

"Dad, you're back!" Shen Yan blurted out.

"Yan'er, you finally came out!" Shen Zhi responded.

"Yes, Dad. Did you encounter any accidents when you went to the south this time?" Shen Yan asked with concern.

"It's no big deal. Although we encountered some minor setbacks, they have all been resolved smoothly." Shen Zhi said lightly.

"Okay, okay, Yan'er has just broken through the barrier, and we can talk about the rest later. Come, come, sit down and have dinner with us..." Li Xuan greeted warmly.

"No..." Before Shen Yan could say no, Li Xuan pulled him to sit down.

Shen Yan had no choice but to swallow his refusal.

"Dad, is my uncle back?" Shen Yan asked Shen Zhi while picking up food with chopsticks.

Hearing this, Shen Zhi's face darkened and he put his chopsticks aside. "He hasn't come back yet, but according to your second uncle, he should have entered a dangerous place."

"A dangerous place?" Shen Yan frowned. He knew that a dangerous place was an extremely dangerous place, and even those who had reached the Martial Emperor realm would not dare to set foot there easily.

"Yes, your second uncle received some news saying that your uncle might be there." Shen Zhi nodded, with a hint of helplessness in his tone.

Shen Yan was silent for a while, then said: "Dad, my uncle will be fine, don't worry."

"I hope so." Shen Zhi nodded.

After that, the three of them stopped talking.

Shen Yan was thinking of Yang Jin. He quickly finished his meal, said goodbye to Shen Zhi and Li Xuan, and went to Murong Mansion.

"Uncle Fu, is Ajin here?" As soon as Shen Yan stepped into Murong Mansion, he anxiously asked Uncle Fu, the housekeeper.

Uncle Fu looked at him with a relieved smile on his face, "Master Shen, you are finally out of seclusion. The young master is practicing sword in the back garden right now."

Hearing this, Shen Yan couldn't help but quicken his pace. He walked through the courtyard, around the rockery, and saw the familiar figure from afar.

Yang Jin was dressed in white, holding a long sword, and moving nimbly among the flowers. His swordsmanship was smooth and powerful, and every swing of his sword seemed to carry the force of wind and thunder.

Hearing the footsteps, Yang Jin stopped what he was doing and looked up at Shen Yan.

A hint of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he pounced towards Shen Yan.

Shen Yan also took a few steps forward and hugged the person tightly in his arms, feeling the authenticity and warmth of the person in his arms, Shen Yan's heart was full of satisfaction.

"Ajin." Shen Yan murmured, his voice full of tenderness.

Yang Jin hugged him back tightly, as if to merge him into his body, "A Yan."

The two hugged each other for a while before Shen Yan let go of Yang Jin. He looked at him and smiled, "It seems that in the past few months, not only has your realm risen to that of a general, but your swordsmanship has also improved."

Hearing this, Yang Jin smiled proudly, "Of course, I practice hard every day."

Shen Yan looked at his smile, his heart filled with satisfaction and happiness. He knew that no matter where he was, as long as Yang Jin was there, his heart would be at peace.

The two walked side by side to the pavilion in the back garden, and Shen Yan asked, "Ajin, has anything special happened recently?"

Hearing this, Yang Jin thought about it, then nodded, "Yes, that, I..."

He stopped talking halfway, with a very troubled look on his face.

Shen Yan looked at him, his heart moved, "What's wrong?"

Yang Jin looked at him, a hint of hesitation flashed in his eyes, but he finally said, "I have a new father, and you know that person..."

Shen Yan was stunned when he heard this. "My uncle and Senior Liu Liuzhi have reconciled?"

"How do you know?" Yang Jin was a little puzzled. After all, he was shocked for a long time when he found out.

"Haha, I just guessed." Shen Yan smiled lightly without further explanation.

Shen Yan looked up at Yang Jin affectionately, then raised his hand slightly and touched Yang Jin's cheek with his fingertips.

"Ajin, I miss you so much." Shen Yan's voice was low and gentle, full of longing and love for Yang Jin.

Yang Jin looked at him and said with a smile: "Ayan, me too."

Shen Yan gently lowered his head and kissed Yang Jin's lips. At first it was just a light peck, then it gradually deepened, as if he wanted to put all his thoughts and love into this kiss.

Yang Jin closed his eyes and responded to Shen Yan's kiss. His heartbeat accelerated, as if it was about to jump out of his chest. Shen Yan's breath and temperature made him feel extremely safe and happy.

After an unknown amount of time, Shen Yan finally let go of Yang Jin, and the two smiled at each other. Shen Yan gently scratched Yang Jin's nose, "I don't know, do you want to take a breath, little fool?"

When Yang Jin heard this, his face suddenly turned red, and he glared at Shen Yan in an angry manner. "I'm not a little fool!"

Shen Yan rubbed his hair lovingly and hugged Yang Jin in his arms. "Okay, you are not a little fool, you are my baby."

"Ayan, I'll take you to meet my little dad later." Yang Jin leaned in Shen Yan's arms and said softly.

"Okay, it's a good opportunity for me to tell my uncle about our relationship." Shen Yan nodded.

"Our relationship?" Yang Jin stood up from his embrace and looked at Shen Yan with doubt and surprise in his eyes. "You mean... you want to tell my little dad about our relationship?"

Shen Yan looked at Yang Jin's reaction and couldn't help but chuckle. "Why, you don't want to make your relationship public with me?"

Yang Jin waved his hands quickly, with an awkward smile on his face. "No, no, I just think... it's a bit sudden."
