Qingshui City, Yushu Street.
Shen Lian walked on the streets of the skyscrapers. All of his cultivation was sealed, and even his consciousness was retracted into his body.
At first glance, he looked no different from an ordinary person.
Beside him, there was only Xuan Ba.
The other five slaves had already left Earth under Shen Lian's orders. They traveled across the universe to search for the nest of the Golden Giants.
To Shen Lian, since he was already on Earth, he might as well help Earth wipe out the Golden Giants from this universe once and for all.
The five slaves were all Emperor-to-be. They were respectful to Shen Lian and they were extremely respectful. They looked weak.
However, dealing with a mere Golden Giant Race was as easy as eating and drinking.
"Your Majesty, did you grow up here?”
Xuan Ba asked curiously.
This was the first time he had seen the development of technology on Earth, and it was quite refreshing for him.
"Not bad."
Shen Lian looked around and nodded.
Back then, he grew up here.
He still remembered that this place was far from being a high-rise building at that time. Instead, it was a series of alleys formed by single-story houses.
Every summer night, the residents living in the alley would bring bamboo chairs and swing palm-leaf fans. They would sit under the old street lamps in the alley and chat under the dim yellow street lamps.
As for the children, they were playing around in the alley like crazy, chasing each other.
Every time she returned home, her back would be drenched in sweat, causing her parents to scold her.
The neighbors were all very humane. Whoever cooked good food at night would bring it out and add a few sets of chopsticks. They warmly invited the neighbors to eat together, and the table was filled with laughter.
Beep!
The sound of a car horn pulled Shen Lian's memory back.
The once complicated alleyways had become spacious four-car roads.
The rows of bungalows had also become skyscrapers and high-rise buildings.
The traffic was endless.
Everything seemed to be getting better.
However, it was no longer the way Shen Lian remembered.
"Time is the most heartless."
Shen Lian shook his head.
He was very unfamiliar with this Earth.
Therefore, he planned to go to the ancestral mansion to take a look and wait for the return of the five slaves. Then, he would leave Earth and return to Universe World.
......
......
At the Shen family's ancestral residence.
This was a bungalow that was located between the tall buildings.
Amongst the many skyscrapers, this dilapidated bungalow, which had fallen off the walls and seemed to be creaking everywhere and could collapse at any time, seemed extremely out of place.
It was so old that the lock of the door was covered in red rust.
The two statues of Yuchi Gong and Qin Shubao hanging on the door had been eroded by the passage of time and were so blurry that they could not be seen clearly.
This was the Shen family's ancestral home!
It was also a place that no one in Qingshui City dared to demolish!
This was because this was the place where Old Lady Shen, Shen Man, had personally said that she wanted to stay!
The Shen family was a well-deserved wealthy family in Qingshui City!
The Old Matriarch Shen, Shen Man, was a legendary figure in the business world of Qingshui City!
"Qingqing, back then, our Shen family's conditions were not good. Your great-grandfather and great-grandmother were all ordinary workers in the coal factory.”
"Your great-uncle is talented and intelligent. He has been very good at studying since he was young. At that time, he had already finished his college entrance examination and wanted to become the first university student in our Shen family.”
"In that era, university students were a rare species. They can't be mentioned in the same breath as university students now.”
"At that time, he was the pride of our family.”
In the Shen family's ancestral home.
With Shen Qingqing's help, Shen Man lit three incense sticks for her parents and Shen Lian. Then, she brought Shen Qingqing around the ancestral home while reminiscing about the past. She said slowly,
"In the end, your granduncle disappeared. It was as if he had suddenly vanished from the face of the earth. There was no trace of him at all.”
Shen Qingqing supported Shen Man and listened to the story of the older generation quietly.
It was not the first time she heard the story of Shen Lian, her granduncle, from her grandmother.
But every time she listened, she would be very patient.
"Grandma, didn't you go look for Granduncle later?”Shen Qingqing asked curiously.
Shen Man's eyes revealed a look of recollection when she heard that. She smiled slightly and said,
"Of course, why didn't you look for him? At that time, we called the police and posted a missing person notice. Even the entire neighborhood took the initiative to help us look for her.”
" But after searching for a whole month and searching all over Qingshui City, I still couldn't find your granduncle. I even investigated all the surveillance cameras and train stations in Qingshui City, but there was no news of your granduncle at all.”
Shen Man's expression became a little sad.
"Later on, as I entered university and started my own business, the Shen family slowly became better.”
"But from the beginning to the end, we didn't find your granduncle. Until your great-grandfather and great-grandmother passed away, your granduncle was the greatest regret.”
"Actually, we all knew in our hearts that your granduncle was probably dead since we couldn't find him after so long, but we thought about it at that time.”
"We have to see him alive or dead. As long as your granduncle doesn't appear, we'll keep looking.”
"Do you know why I've kept this ancestral home? I'm just afraid that one day, when your granduncle comes back, he won't be able to find his own home when he sees the skyscrapers.”
"If you leave this house here, your granduncle will always know that home is still here.”
At this point, Shen Man, who was already old, could not take it anymore.
Her aged face revealed fatigue.
"Qingqing, I'm tired, so I'll go back first. You're in charge of helping me clean this ancestral house.”
"Good! Grandma, go back and rest first. I'll come back after cleaning this ancestral house!”
Shen Qing nodded.
