‘So he’s really alive’ the brown haired beauty thought to herself while patting her ample chest, sighing in relief as another image appears in her mind, a gorgeous, black-haired figure that seems to be unreachable to her, someone whom she places quite a lot of respect to, only for her to not listen to her last advice causing her to go from an extremely well known itinerant cultivator to a nameless wife of a sect master in the Eastern Province, the only good thing happening to her life from that point on being her daughter.
‘Meiyao… I’m sorry for not listening to your words back then’ the words appeared in her mind as she looks at the young man as if she’s looking at her own child.

“Hoh? Here comes the lady killer, look at you pulling everyone’s attention” looking at Wu Xiaotian with an openly envious gaze, Ling Feng approaches as he bumps his fist on his sworn brother’s, the two of them acting more like siblings rather than friends.
“The group is complete huh… Sorry for not participating in the auction old Tian, my old man needs to do something and run late, we only arrived last night” another figure emerges, this one appearing to be ferocious despite also being good looking, his towering figure still paling in comparison to Wu Xiaotian.
“Last night? My master didn’t even bring anyone with me, and we still barely arrive on time, just a little earlier than Ah Tian, I say you’re still quite lucky Ah Chen” interrupting the conversation, another good-looking young man appears, this one looking like some cunning guy that no normal person will beat when it comes to psychological warfare and mind games.
Looking at the three young men, Wu Xiaotian smiles brightly as he saw them after a while, more than one month passing since they saw each other, an extremely short amount of time when they are treated as cultivators, yet still extremely long period of separation of they are treated as sworn brothers and young people.
“Come to think of it, Sister-in-law still isn’t here, where is she?” pointing towards the four ladies conversing near them, the cunning-looking young man, Wang Sheng, asked, his question also piquing the curiosity of the other young men.
“Yan’er is dealing with something important related to her cultivation currently, so she won’t attend this, the girls already know about it” Wu Xiaotian explained, using the exact same reason they thought about as nearly all of them except for Hua Xian’er still thinks that Li Yan is someone the same generation as them.
“Such a pity, but old Tian, I heard another news from old Feng… Is it true that sister Xian’er is also…” as the ferocious-looking young man interjected, he was immediately stopped as the amiable-looking young man interrupted and shouts, pulling the attention of the other participants to them.
“Chen, let me remind you, not only my cousin, but even elder sister Hong Lian!!!” the amiable-looking young man said with a proud look on his face, clearly one that says, ‘I know something you don’t’.
“Ah right, two goddesses in just one month? Damn, how are you even managing to deal with that much?” the ferocious-looking young man, Huo Chen, said with a clearly teasing, yet curious tone in his voice, wondering how this sworn brother of his managed to have multiple ladies for himself, and here they are, trying their best not to trigger their childhood sweethearts, afraid of being burned alive by their wrath.
“Damn it Ah Tian, teach us… I mean Ah Feng your ways!!!” as he starts speaking, Wang Sheng immediately paused as he sensed that something is wrong, quickly correcting his words as he feels a cold stare bearing on his back like a sharp dagger, the stare immediately disappearing the moment he finishes his words.
“The fuck do you mean with that Sheng? You think your henpecked self is so much better than me?” Ling Feng taunted with a smile in his face, swearing to his mind that he will never get a tigress as a wife in fear of being mocked back by the two using the only thing he holds proudly against them when it comes to romantic relations.
“Indeed, so much better than a single dog” Wang Sheng nodded with a proud smile in his face, causing Ling Feng to receive quite the emotional damage.
As they continue playing around, they eventually found themselves joining the ladies’ group, the two older ladies completely red as they experienced first-hand the interrogation process that they used against Bing Xue and Leng Yue when they asked them about their romantic life.
While they talk with each other, Wu Xiaotian feels an intense gaze directed towards him, his senses unbothered as the eyes looking towards him bares no malice in it, only pure curiosity as if a little creature exploring everything new it sees.
“Tian, is there a problem?” being the attentive maidenly beauty she is, Hong Lian asked as she notices Wu Xiaotian seemingly splitting his focus to other things, her question purely out of concern yet managed to set a chance for Wu Xiaotian to split with them for a while.
“I just saw some acquaintances, go ahead, I’ll just bring them outside” he said with a smile on his face, his sworn brothers and sisters nodding as they pushed him to do whatever he wants, prompting him to move to a bit more obscure location before he looks back at the lady looking at him, nodding at her causing her to be quite surprised, cutely looking at either of her sides and behind her before pointing her finger towards herself as she looks at him with a questioning gaze, causing him to smile in amusement as he watches how she acts.
{Young lady from the Extreme Martial Sect, you seem to be paying quite the attention to me this whole time, is there anything you want to talk about with me?} talking with her for the first time, he decided to pretend not to know her just for the sake of it, wondering how the little lady will react.
{Do you not… remember me? Yeah… that makes senses, geniuses never look at anyone below them after all, is it really similar to what the sect said? No, but they’re really hypocritical as well, what is─} as she starts thinking how her half-brother seems to be unfamiliar of her, her face a bit pale and downcast once she starts descending into a deep overthinking that causes him to be quite surprised as he seems to find another person that overthinks more than him.
{Ahem, little lady, your thoughts are leaking out to your brother’s mind} understanding the context of the question she first asked, he interrupted her inner monologue that seems to be directly transferred to him, only for him to think that he finally met his match other than the system as the young lady replies once again.
{Nope, I intended for you to hear it so that I can confirm if you really don’t know me, brother~~~} she sent with a cheerful tone in her voice causing Wu Xiaotian to be stupefied, branding her as something more unpredictable than a little creature as her face turns into a happy one again the moment she sent the message.
