Hearing the name that just came out of their mouth, Wu Xiaotian was quite surprised, however, he quickly regains his bearing as he remembers that he’s currently in arguably the strongest faction in the continent, not only in terms of martial might but also in terms of information gathering, a force rumored to even see everything under the heavens.
“Not vigilant even a bit?” seeing the immortal-like young man fishing beside them quickly regaining his composure, the eldest couldn’t help but scare him a bit, testing where the limit of his courage lies.
“If three elders want to do anything, I would’ve been dealt with a long time ago, in fact, even just uncle Jingxian is more than enough to deal with me right?” calmly speaking, Wu Xiaotian explained, clearly bluffing as just one [Unbounded Spatial Talisman] is more than enough for him to escape here, of course, such situation is something he wants to avoid as much as possible as being a target of such force will be quite the trouble in the future.
“HAHAHAHA, you’re really gutsy boy, just what us brothers would like when taking a disciple, how about it? Will you consider?” hearing the reply of the young man, the eldest starts exploding in laughter as he starts offering an even better thing to Wu Xiaotian.
Hearing this however, the two other old men starts panicking, quickly sending multiple telepathic transmissions to the laughing old man, mostly related to their grandniece and her “future” with concern to the immortal-like young man.
Hearing the concerns, the eldest abruptly stops his laughter, pretending to clear his throat to get himself together, before talking again.
“I was just joking boy, don’t take it to heart… we can guide you just like a master but we can’t take you as a disciple” the eldest said while thinking ‘Xian’er might just kill us if she heard her man is going to be our disciple’
“It’s more than what I could ask for, elders” Wu Xiaotian replied with a smile on his face while sighing in relief in his mind, as he’s already starting to think of ways to turn down their offer since he truly doesn’t need a master given that the system is already one to him.
“No need to be so modest boy, we’re one family from now on” the youngest said while looking at the river, shouting as he saw what just bit Wu Xiaotian’s bait.
As the old men shouts, cheering on Wu Xiaotian while pulling what is apparently the little bastard who always slip from their grasp, the immortal-like young man struggles with his battle against this aquatic creature, with its strength seemingly surpassing even that of a normal Nascent Source Realm cultivator. Refusing to back down, he even decided to secretly use [Chaotic Order Weapon Art], finally pulling the fish out of the water, some suspicions starting to form in the old men’s mind but doesn’t think much of it as they celebrated like kids with the thing bothering them for months now finally getting caught.
“You need to be careful boy, the Extreme Martial Sect is bound to notice you again by now, and as a policy, we won’t do anything since we believe that a man must deal with their own problem” the youngest pointed out as he throws a wooden token towards Wu Xiaotian.
“However, fret not as we will support you as much as we can with things outside dealing with your familial matters” the third oldest added before snapping his hand, a familiar door appearing right behind Wu Xiaotian, opening as they bid their farewell.
“Remember, you’re a part of the family now, so your business is our business now as well, so don’t hesitate to call for help when you’re in a pinch, well, except for that thing you need to deal with yourself” the eldest said before pointing the door, indicating the young man to leave now.
Before stepping outside, Wu Xiaotian bowed respectfully then closed the door, leaving the three to discuss among themselves.
“Tell Jingxian to secretly arrange someone to protect that boy whenever he leaves the tower” the eldest said as he skins the fish that Wu Xiaotian just caught, the anticipation as well as concern clear in his voice.
“Do we really need to let him deal with a high-level faction like that? It’ will be quite dangerous even for a genius of his caliber” the youngest said as he manually starts a fire while looking at the location the door is previously at.
“That Extreme Martial Sect is not even worth our time, what I want to accomplish is seeing if that boy is capable enough to fend off the offensives of that sect alone, we can always help him if he can’t, so long as he tries his best” the eldest replied while skillfully filleting the fish.
“Elder brother doesn’t want a greenhouse flower huh?” the third eldest said as he mixes all sorts of spices, the aromatic fragrance it possesses spreading through the air attracting not only the avian and land wildlife but also the aquatic creatures in the river.
“He might have a chance to be crowned as the greatest genius of all time if he grows in a soft environment, but he definitely will be that kind of genius if he grows in a brutal environment… Not to mention the greatest of all time, he might even become an existence that transcends that” the eldest replies before looking at the empty air, waving his hands as if to call for someone.
“Xingtian, stop dilly-dallying and help us cook this fish that your soon to be grandson-in-law caught for us” the eldest said, causing another old man bearing an extreme resemblance to their appearance to show himself, smiling as he moves towards the small gathering and helped in mixing the spices.
———-
As the four old men enjoys their meal, Wu Xiaotian, given that he fails to find anyone he knows, whether if it’s Ling Feng or the girls, decided to go to Hua Jingxian’s office to inform him that he’s about to enter seclusion, the bearded middle-aged man nodding to him before he left.
After he returns to his room, Wu Xiaotian starts looking at a reward that the system granted him when he comprehended space in the spatial tunnel when entering the Crescent Moon Secret Realm.
[Infinite Dimension System (Lvl 1)]
[Info: Allows user to travel across dimension, the system issuing missions for the user to complete, granting the user rewards. The rewards vary from Universal Coins to gift packages and even items, cultivation tools, weapons and more]

[Charges Available: 1/1(Refreshes Every week)]
While looking at the text floating in front of him, Wu Xiaotian decided to test it out, but not before informing his mother, using an Unbounded Spatial Talisman to return back into their home, the mature lady greeting him with a tight hug, her limbs clinging to him as if she’s some sort of panda.
“You’re leaving again?” hearing his explanation, Su Meiyao asked with a gentle voice while she remains clinging on the body of her beloved son.
“Tomorrow, I’ll sleep here for tonight” he replied before kissing his mother’s forehead, causing the mature lady to smile as he carries her in his right arm while walking towards their home.
“Oh my, what a gentleman, I wonder what this baby will do to his mama” Su Meiyao teased as she happily swings her legs back and forth while in her son’s arm.
“You’ll see” he replied as the door opens, carrying on his other arm the white-haired beaty that opened it, the two smiling at each other as they were brought to their bedroom by the young man.
As they enter inside, the two mature women’s heart starts beating faster, clearly aware of what is about to go down in this room, their anticipation clear given that they already start rubbing their thighs together.
