As originally planned, Ling Yun took all his won to the Flowing Water Domain. They chose the island where the Heavenly Star Sect was located, mainly because several of his children had joined the sect.
Ling Yun also brought Peng Tianlei and the others to the domain to protect all his wives and children. After all, such a large-scale competition was never safe, so he prepared them for any unforeseen circumstances.
To Ling Yun’s surprise, the sect master of the Heavenly Star Sect, Yu Shuang, had already prepared a simple, spacious residence to accommodate them. Furthermore, she had also registered their nas as participants in the competition, a decision she made after discussing with Yun Qingfeng and the others.
Ling Yun had no problem accepting Yu Shuang’s gesture, saving him the hassle. After all, there were too many of them—although not all of his wives would be participating in the competition.
All cultivators knew that Shuang Yuzhu, Huang Zhii, Xuanyin Yue, Xue Jing, Long Nu, and Chu Nanhua were affiliated with their old sects. Therefore, they decided not to participate in the competition, instead opting to spectate to support their sisters.
Shuang ixue, Tai Tiani, Lu Yi, Lu Shen, You Ya, Xiao Xiao, ng Xianzi, Xuanyuan Xue’er, Xuanyuan Chang’er, and several other experienced won decided to join the competition as mbers of the Nine Heavens Supre Sect.
As for Ling Yun’s other wives, they joined the competition as rogue cultivators. At first, he considered enlisting them as mbers of the Nine Heavens Supre Sect, but they refused his request and chose another path as rogue cultivators.
Besides Ling Yun’s wives, the people from the Nine Heavens Supre Sect also decided to join the competition because they had been living too quietly for a long ti, and they wanted to test their strength by fighting the other cultivators.
Sheng Ming brought her daughter, Sheng Ai, to the domain to support her sisters. Although they didn’t particularly like appearing in crowds like the competition, Liao Shuzhen, Dongfang Qinzhi, and Bai Xuanyue decided to join them, and they would monitor their progress after training hard.
Yu Shuang inford them that they would be leaving early in the morning for the competition location, which would be held on a special island designated for that purpose. Ling Yun requested everyone to rest first, ensuring they would be completely fresh during the competition.
While everyone was resting, Ling Yun carried Sheng Ai and took her for a walk in the city, followed by Sheng Ming by their side. "Can you sense it, Ming’er?"
"Yes," Sheng Ming nodded. "I can sense many faint demon and devil auras in this domain, and they seem intent on disrupting the competition, so it won’t be as safe as we imagined."
Ling Yun opened the system map to search for the source, but he found no signs of demons and devils in the domain. "It looks like we have to wait for the competition to start tomorrow."
"What will you do about them?"
"If they make a move and threaten my family’s safety, I will exterminate them imdiately, including the clans conspiring with them."
Sheng Ming nodded in agreent because Ling Yun was not a cold-blooded killer, but he would kill anyone who had evil intentions towards his family.
"Father, I want that." Sheng Ai pointed to a snack at one of the vendors.
Ling Yun imdiately took his daughter to the vendor and bought many snacks for Sheng Ai. Although his daughter was less than a year old, she was different from other living creatures, so he wasn’t worried about her eating those snacks.
"Hmm?" Ling Yun suddenly saw a familiar face in the distance. "So, that man is Zhao Chengxuan and his family, huh?"
Sheng Ming followed Ling Yun’s gaze. "That young man is the one who is interested in Qiu’er, right?"
"Yes," Ling Yun nodded. "They seem like good people."
"That man is quite handso, and his deanor is that of an educated person. Unfortunately, he is destined to be heartbroken because Qiu’er will never be interested in him." Ling Yun sighed in his heart as he rembered Yun Jingqiu. "Do you really not want to reconsider it?"
"No." Ling Yun shook his head. "My decision regarding Qiu’er and Xia’er’s feelings is final, and I will never change my mind, no matter what."
Sheng Ming could only sigh inwardly at Ling Yun’s stubbornness, but he chose not to say anything because he would never listen to her.
"Father!"
Ling Yun looked back and saw his five daughters, Yun Shengxia, Yun Jingqiu, ng Ke’er, Lian Ziyue, and Xuanyuan Yue.
Unlike her four sisters, who were excited to et Ling Yun, Yun Jingqiu walked behind with her head bowed, unwilling to look at her father.
Ling Yun really couldn’t bear to see Yun Jingqiu being gloomy like that. She was the most cheerful of his daughters, but she beca so gloomy because of him.
Their shout reached the ears of Zhao Chengxuan and his family. They looked at Ling Yun with incredulous looks because he looked so young, but he already had five grown daughters.
Zhao Chengxuan felt pain in his heart when he saw Yun Jingqiu looking sad. "Father! Mother! I’m going to see Junior Sister Yun."
"We’ll co with you."
"Why don’t you guys rest?" Ling Yun asked them.
"Hehe," Yun Shengxia giggled and hugged his arm coquettishly. "Father, we’ve been training since we were little, but that competition was our first, so we were nervous."
"We were feeling tense, so we went to town to find so entertainnt, Father," Xuanyuan Yue said.
ng Ke’er also spoke. "Father, you arrived at the sect a long ti ago, but you didn’t visit us."
"Sister Ke’er, I asked our father to take on a trip, so he hasn’t visited you guys yet." Sheng Ai said in a crisp voice.
"Hehe," ng Ke’er took Sheng Ai from Ling Yun’s arms. "Do you like the snacks in town, Little Ai?"
"Uhm." Sheng Ai nodded. "Our father bought lots of snacks, and they were delicious."
Lian Ziyue rubbed Sheng Ai’s head. "Such a gluttonous little sister!"
"Little Ai, I’ll buy you another snack, and it’s my favorite!" Xuanyuan Yue ran to one of the vendors and queued there because the town was so crowded with visiting cultivators.
"Qiu’er."
"Father." Yun Jingqiu still did not lift her head to look at Ling Yun. "I—"
"Junior Sister Yun!"
Yun Jingqiu and the others looked in the direction of the voice, seeing Zhao Chengxuan and his parents walking towards them.
Yun Jingqiu hastily moved behind her three sisters to hide, causing them to smile bitterly. The three of them knew Zhao Chengxuan’s feelings for their sister, but she had rejected him several tis because of her feelings for their father. ’This guy is really persistent!’
Ling Yun and Sheng Ming also looked at Zhao Chengxuan and his parents before glancing at Yun Jingqiu.
Soon, Zhao Chengxuan and his parents arrived in front of them, but they froze as soon as they saw Sheng Ming’s face.
Zhao Chengxuan shook his head before cupping his hands towards Ling Yun and Sheng Ming. "Uncle and Aunt, are you two Junior Sister Yun’s parents?"
"I am Qiu’er’s father." Ling Yun embraced Sheng Ming’s shoulders. "She is one of her mothers."
Zhao Chengxuan’s parents already knew that Yun Jingqiu’s father had many wives, but they didn’t expect that Sheng Ming’s beauty was truly flawless like a goddess.
"Uncle, my na is Zhao Chengxuan, may I know the nas of you two?" Zhao Chengxuan respectfully asked.
"My na is Ling Yun, and my wife is Sheng Ming."
Zhao Chengxuan froze on the spot, staring at Ling Yun with wide eyes. He clearly rembered that Yue Lian told him that the man Yun Jingqiu fell in love with was called Ling Yun, but he didn’t expect that he was her father.
Zhao Chengxuan’s parents’ expressions turned ugly upon hearing this because their son had already told them the identity of the man Yun Jingqiu had fallen in love with, and they were truly shocked to learn that he had fallen in love with his own father.
Yun Shengxia and others smacked their foreheads. ’Crap! We forgot that Yue Lian had already told Zhao Chengxuan the truth!’
Behind her sisters, Yun Jingqiu lowered her face as she bit her lip. However, she also felt relieved, and she was sure that Zhao Chengxuan would never bother her again.
Ling Yun raised an eyebrow because their reaction was unusual, especially Zhao Chengxuan’s parents.
Before Ling Yun could say anything, Zhao Chengxuan’s parents pulled their son away. "Let’s go back! We forbid you from approaching that girl again! You must forget about her forever!"
"But—"
"No buts!" Zhao Chengxuan’s mother howled. "I will never accept such a woman as my daughter-in-law!"
Zhao Chengxuan’s father didn’t say anything, but he glanced at Ling Yun several tis with contempt and disgust.
"What exactly happened? Why did they suddenly react like that after learning my na?" Ling Yun asked her daughters.
ng Ke’er imdiately explained. "Father, Senior Brother Zhao already knows that Big Sis Qiu’er loves you, and he must have already told his parents about it."
"Hmm?" Ling Yun furrowed her brows.
"Big Sis Yue Lan told him about it to stop him from approaching her, and we were late in telling you about it," Yun Shengxia said.
"I see." Ling Yun nodded in understanding. "I’ll go et them, and—"
"Father, don’t do it." Ling Yun looked at Yun Jingqiu. "Father, my feelings are my own, and I don’t care what others think of ."
"Qiu’er."
Yun Jingqiu shook her head and looked at Ling Yun. "You don’t care about other people’s opinions about your relationship with Mother Mingxia and the others, right? I’m your daughter, so I don’t care about their opinions either."
