"Ah!" Mu Yan let out a low cry again. "I didn’t expect that you were Grandpa Huang’s grandson, Big Brother. Anyway, I didn’t like him because he always teased whenever he ca to our clan. However, he never ca for several years, so I didn’t need to be annoyed because of him."
Tang Xiao was stunned for a mont after hearing that, but he rembered that Tang Huang was always like that, and he always teased him and Tang Yin when they were small. "Even though my grandfather always teased you, he never treated you badly, right?"
"No, Grandpa Huang is actually kind to , and he always brings a lot of items every ti he visits us." Mu Yan then took out several things from her storage ring and showed them to Tang Xiao, so of which were green jade hairpins. "These items were gifts from him, and I like them so much. Despite this, I dislike him because he constantly makes fun of in front of my friends, which embarrasses ."
Mu Qingge could only shake her head while listening to her daughter, and she then told Mu Yan. "Uncle Huang has just arrived, and he will definitely be looking for you here."
Hearing that, Mu Yan put all the items back into her storage ring, and she jumped up from the sofa while shouting at Tang Xiao. "Big brother! You have to hide ! I don’t want to et Grandpa Huang."
"I can’t do that." Tang Xiao rejected Mu Yan’s request outright, as he himself missed his grandfather. "I haven’t seen my grandfather for seven years, so I want to et him now. However, you don’t need to worry about him, and I won’t allow him to tease you, so let’s wait for him to co, okay?"
Mu Yan wanted to protest to Tang Xiao, but Mu Qingge stopped her, causing her to droop her shoulders helplessly and sit down again with a gloomy look.
’Is she always like this?’ Tang Xiao asked Mu Qingge via voice transmission.
’Oh?’ Mu Qingge was taken aback for a mont after hearing that because a beginner-level cultivator shouldn’t be able to use it yet. ’Actually, Yan’er doesn’t always behave like this, and she only behaves like this when she’s with , her grandfather, or your grandfather. That’s why I was surprised by her closeness to you, especially since you two just t today.’
Tang Xiao nodded in understanding, and he then chatted with the two won, but Mu Yan did most of the talking. As for Mu Qingge, she didn’t talk too much, but she willingly answered his every question.

The guests who were already present at the place turned to Tang Huang, who casually walked in. So of the guests were surprised by his presence because he had not appeared in public for seven years, leading many, including Yi An, to wonder about the reasons for his sudden return.
’Does his return have anything to do with all the strange events?’ Yi An inwardly wondered as she sent a ssage to her husband to inform him of Tang Huang’s return to their city.
Tang Huang also looked at Yi An with raised eyebrows, but he ignored her and the other guests, and he walked over to Mu Lin as he laughed. "Haha! Old Lin! I’m sorry; I haven’t attended your birthday banquet for the past few years, but I’m here now."
"It seems that your efforts in the past seven years have been fruitless, huh?" Mu Lin said as he hugged his old friend for a mont, but his words made Tang Huang let out a heavy sigh. "Where’s that woman? I heard that she’s back with you, so you two should co together, right?"
"Lingyan is out eting soone, but she will be here soon." Tang Huang then asked him. "Did Yuan’er tell you about our return? And where is that kid now?"
Mu Lin certainly knew the person he was referring to, but he did not answer his question straight away, and he said a few things to the guests before taking Tang Huang to another room, especially since there was still so ti before the banquet started.
Mu Lin called his daughter to go to the main building to represent her in welcoming the other guests who would be arriving soon, so Mu Qingge imdiately left Tang Xiao and her daughter alone.

"Why did you bring here?"
Instead, Mu Lin asked Tang Huang back. "Did you know about what happened to your grandson in prison?"
"I know; Yuan’er told everything." Tang Huang replied with a heavy sigh. "I always wanted to teach Xiao’er and Yin’er to beco cultivators, but their parents were against my wishes, and they even made promise to let them live a normal life."
"Unfortunately, their decision made their children suffer for seven years, and all those events would never have happened if they were cultivators." Mu Lin then patted Tang Huang’s shoulder. "However, everything is in the past now, and they have beco cultivators. Besides, Xiao’er was smarter and more talented than you, and he was even able to break through to the peak beginner level in just ten days."
"Haha." Tang Huang laughed at that. "If Xiao’er wasn’t smart and talented, do you think he would be able to withstand Lingyan’s harsh upbringing? He’s been training under her since he was five years old, rember?"
"That’s true." Mu Lin nodded in agreent with that. "Lingyan is a fighting maniac, and her personality is excessively violent. However, Xiao’er managed to get through twelve harsh years under her tutelage, and he never even complained during that ti. By the way, your grandson is in the back building with Yan’er now, but I want to tell you about a few things before you et him."
"Tell ."
"Xiao’er is a dual cultivator, and he already has two wives, but I don’t know their identities yet." Tang Huang looked nonchalant about that, and he didn’t mind Tang Xiao’s decision to beco a dual cultivator. However, he was curious about the identities of his two wives because Tang Yuan didn’t tell him anything. "Besides, he’s attracted to Qingge, and she’s already given him the green light to approach her for Yan’er’s sake, especially since she likes him so much. Since my daughter agrees and he is your grandson, I will approve their relationship if he can conquer her heart."
"Are you serious about that?" Mu Lin nodded to him, and Tian Huang laughed heartily. "Hahaha! This is truly unexpected but exciting news! In the past, we both wanted our children to get married, but their relationship never happened. However, I didn’t expect that Xiao’er would be interested in Qingge, and our families will beco one if they beco husband and wife in the future. Hehe! I can’t wait to hear her address as her grandfather-in-law, so I hope he can conquer her heart as soon as possible."
"Grandfather-in-law, your ass!" Mu Lin furiously shouted at him. "Do you also want to address you as my father, Old Tang?"
"Hahaha!" Tang Huang laughed even louder before he moved towards the window and opened it. "You can welco your guests again, and I will go see Xiao’er now."
Mu Lin couldn’t help but sigh at Tang Huang’s behavior, but he knew that his old friend missed Tang Xiao very much, so he let him be and left the room.

"Big Brother, have you thought of ways to get my mother’s heart?" Mu Yan asked as he slowly shook Tang Xiao’s arm.
"Why are you so eager for your mother to get married?" Tang Xiao asked with an amused smile because Mu Yan was much more impatient than him. "We just t today, so we still have to explore our relationship, and it can’t be done in a hurry."
Mu Yan pouted her lips and spoke to him. "You have two wives now, and you will have more won later because you are a dual cultivator. That’s why I hope you can win over my mother soon, as I don’t want her to beco just another one of your many wives."
"Are you really okay with your mother becoming my wife?"
"Yes." Mu Yan nodded to him. "I don’t know why, but I feel that you are a good man, and I feel comfortable being by your side, so I want you to be her husband."
Tang Xiao inwardly sighed after hearing that, as he himself still couldn’t understand the reason behind the feeling of closeness between them. "All right, I will try hard to conquer your mother, and—guah!"
"Big brother!" Mu Yan shouted as Tang Xiao almost fell forward, but he managed to stabilize himself, and they imdiately looked back.
Tang Xiao was stunned for a mont before he shouted at Tang Huang. "Damn you, old geezer! Do you want to kill by hitting so hard?"
"Haha! How could you possibly die just like that, you damn grandson?" Tang Huang responded with a laugh, and he set up a soundproof barrier around them.
Mu Yan, who was hugging Tang Xiao’s arm, sharply glared at Tang Huang. She wore a furious look while shouting at him. "Grandpa Huang! I will be furious with you if you dare to hit Big Brother again! I will ignore you forever!"
Tang Huan was certainly not afraid of Mu Yan’s threat because he already knew her too well, and he then pinched her cheeks. "Hehe, you dare threaten , little Yanyan?"
