Lin Xiao of course knew his body's condition. After letting out a long sigh, he attempted to stand up from the ground, "It's time to go home. If I'm any later, I'll miss making breakfast for Xun'er."
"Lin kid, you're going back to make breakfast for your daughter in this state?" Ximen Li asked incredulously, looking at Lin Xiao. "Aren't you going to find a place to rest first?"
"I can rest on the plane... Senior, you don't need to worry. Years ago, I had worse injuries and still managed to get up and make breakfast for my teammates." Lin Xiao grinned, recalling that time.
Wasn't he the only one in the team who could stand up back then?
Ye Chen and Ming Yi had both passed out and slept through it. It was him who, conveniently, made a meal and then rested.
"You brat..." Dongfang Bai shook his head. "You called the three of us old men here just to watch you show off, didn't you?"
"Thank you for your trouble, three seniors."
Lin Xiao bowed at this moment.
"What trouble, is this considered trouble? You brat, you're just reckless. It's perfect for us three old guys to handle these kinds of people. You stinking kid, look at how precarious you were just now." Ximen Huanyan couldn't help but blurt out, "Do you really treat the three of us as mascots?"
"Of course not. How could we treat seniors with such immense power as mascots? I was simply itching for a fight. I haven't encountered a suitable opponent in a long time, and I couldn't hold back. There were absolutely no other intentions." As Lin Xiao spoke, he grabbed onto Ming Yi. He now needed Ming Yi's support even to stand.
"You..."
"Alright, let's let him go back quickly. Look how anxious he is," Beitang Li signaled to his two old friends, "You brat, don't worry about going back. I'll speak with Old Zhao about the mess here and have him sort it out."
"Thank you, senior."
With that, Lin Xiao and Ming Yi got into the car.
The car sped up to 120 km/h along the way. It was so late, such speed was only possible for people like them.
The two boarded the plane, almost racing against time.
Two and a half hours later, Lin Xiao returned home, dragging his exhausted body.
His internal Zhenqi had barely recovered to one-tenth of its capacity. Moreover, he felt a sharp pain in his Dantian, and his internal Zhenqi couldn't circulate normally.
He suspected that using that "Dragon's Roar Nine Heavens" had damaged his body.
He had a rough idea of his physical condition. After a hasty wash-up, he began preparing breakfast.
As a father and a husband, he had been absent for four years.
Therefore, every day now, he wished to be by his wife and daughter's side.
Early in the morning, Xun'er and Luo Bing, who had gotten used to practicing with Lin Xiao in the courtyard these past few days, saw Lin Xiao finish washing up and immediately went to the courtyard to start their exercises.
"Daddy, good morning."
"Uncle Fu, good morning."
The two little ones greeted Lin Xiao while practicing their horse stance.
After several days, the two kids could now hold their horse stance for five minutes, showing remarkable progress.
Seeing Xun'er's round and cute face, Lin Xiao couldn't help but smile. "Good morning, I'm going to make breakfast. Remember to wake up Mommy later."
"Okay!" Xun'er replied loudly.
