“Big brother…” after dealing with the Purple Lightning Temple, Wu Xiaotian notices the bubbly young lady with her fingers holding the edge of his clothes, her round pupils looking at him intensely yet worriedly as if she’s thinking of something.
“Does that scare you? Is my dear little sister disillusioned with her dear big brother now?” he asked jokingly, yet a tinge of worry audible in his voice as he thought that the chance of her really thinking so is low, but not zero.
“Can I… no, will I be able to do that as well?” before he spirals into overthinking though, her next words already reach his ears, his worries unfounded and his heart relieved, the looks that the bubbly young lady is giving her causing him to smile as he pats her head and asks.
“You’re not even concerned at what I did to them?” Wu Xiaotian asked while pointing at the direction that the disciples of the Purple Lightning Temple is hurled into, his younger sister looking at him with a smile in his face before hugging him.
“The only thing I need to be concerned about are the people important to me~~~” she replied softly causing the immortal-like young man to laugh for a bit, his heart finding companionship in his sister sharing the same way of thinking as him.
“That’s a good way of thinking to live by” he praised as he continues stroking her head, the bubbly young lady nodding as she burry her adorable face just below his chest.

“Hahaha, who the fuck is the bastard who said that Su Tian doesn’t stand a chance against a Soul Formation Realm cultivator, GODAMNIT THERE ARE TWO OF THEM!!! AND HE FUCKING DESTROYS THEM LIKE NO ONE’S BUSINESS!!! ALL MY SAVINGS ARE GONE!!!”
“Blame yourself for your gambling addiction”
“Hahaha, that fellow there seems to have anger management issues as well”
“I mean, it’s fair right? Losing all your savings in one bet will definitely give you some sort of anger you never felt before”
“I’m not dumb enough to bet on a single thing, I like to increase my odds”
“Never mind your gambling conversations, do you realize just what this match means!?”
“He defeats two cultivators in the Soul Formation Realm, what’s the big deal?”
“What’s the big deal!? Did you forget what realm he currently is!?”
As the crowd discusses at the absurdity of this new feat that Wu Xiaotian just achieves, another set of people is discussing the young man as well, four olden veterans looking down from the void, all of them with satisfied smile on their faces.
“Repaying gratitude at least thrice and grievances at least ten times huh…” the old man sitting on the left most seat said as he strokes his beard, smiling like they found an extremely expensive gem.
“And the value he put to his family, truly a rare young man” the one from the right most seat added, laughing as he took a sip from a flask he just takes out from his spatial ring.
“He’s quite smart as well, he can just attack and end everything but he opts to wait for that firefly temple kid to attack first, giving him the justification to retaliate, and he even taunted the kid into saying the last words he said… which means we have an excuse to knock on those forces’ doors” the one sitting next to the old man who just speaks interjected, his deductions mostly in line with Wu Xiaotian’s thoughts, except for the part that he also did everything out of spite for the Purple Lightning Temple’s demeanor.
“That’s good, I’m going to move this time… time to remind this continent why we stand at the very pinnacle among all its forces” the final one, sitting right next to the old man who first spoke said, his eyes still fixated to the immortal-like young man and whatever he’s doing.
“Xingtian, don’t destroy everything, the imperial palace might give you trouble” the oldest said, his face seemingly unconcerned despite his advice.
“Can they handle bringing us trouble though?” the youngest said with a smile on his face, prompting the one sitting next to him to answer.
“They can’t not in a million year” he said making all of them laugh.

{So you’re creating a new design for the house?} using the communication function of the [Red Thread System], Wu Xiaotian asks as he heard an absurd announcement from his mother just a while ago.
{Mhm, after all, my baby seems to always bring new women home, at this rate, our house might not be big enough for your harem after a few years pass} a doting, motherly feminine voice resounded in his head, making him smile wryly as his mother defines exactly what happened in his adventures so far.
{I’ll try to limit it as much as I can} he promised, really deciding to do that if not for his mother’s voice ringing in his head again.
{I’d rather you not do that my baby, mama wants you to have no regrets so you better do whatever you want, just remember what we always talk about} Su Meiyao lovingly said, despite not seeing her, Wu Xiaotian can clearly see the motherly smile on her face as she said those words, making him thankful to everything that he has such kind mother and woman, who seems to spoil him as much as she can.
{Anyways, aside from Sister Li, Xian’er and Lian’er, we have another two right, that cutie Xiaoyao and Bai Anxin} his mother asked just to confirm, her voice seemingly reminiscing as she spoke the second name.
{Thank you, mom} Wu Xiaotian expresses as she states her willingness to let the two stay with them.
{There’s no need for thank you, my baby, just come home and enjoy time with mama and the others more often okay~~?} Su Meiyao replies with a teasing tone, making the young man smile wryly as he replies that he will try his best to fulfill her wish.
{Let’s go on a date some time mom, just the two of us} feeling like he owes her something, he said with a smile on his face, making the bubbly young lady sitting right next to him to look in confusion, wondering why her older brother is smiling to himself.
‘He’s probably happy that he’s with me right?’ she thought proudly to herself as her arrogance reaches an all-time high, her cute nose pointing into the sky while her hands are placed around her waist.
{Really? That’s a promise okay Tian’er~~~? No taking back~!} hearing her son’s word, she exploded in excitement as image of them travelling somewhere in the world, just the two of them, starts appearing in her mind, causing the two ladies drawing floor plans with her to direct their attention towards her, who sits slowly and awkwardly from the attention she had unknowingly drawn from her action.
{Why would I take my words back? A date with mom is such a great reward for me so why would I take it back?} he replies as he heard his mother’s giggling in his mind, the two of them talking for a few more minutes before they cut off the conversation as Wu Xiaotian’s eyes set on the disciples of the Extreme Martial Sect still bound on their place.
