Chapter 312: Parents have shortcomings
Tian County Tianjia
Zhou Jiao was taking a nap in the house when she suddenly felt someone approaching.

"Zhou Jiao, get up."

A familiar voice came into her ears, Zhou Jiao slowly opened her eyes, and quickly regained consciousness.

This graceful lady slowly stood up from the bed, and when she saw the person standing in front of her, her face quickly changed from astonishment to a smile, and she quickly became excited.

"Master! You are back? Am I dreaming?"

Tian Buli smiled and said, "I came back a few days ago, so I can take you there to stay for a few days and catch up with Bai Lian and the others."

Zhou Jiao clenched her palms, then stretched her legs to step on her shoes in front of the bed. After feeling the touch of her hands and feet, she finally felt that she was not dreaming.

The woman nearby heard the sound and came over quickly. When she saw Tian Buli next to Zhou Jiao, she quickly knelt down with her hands on the ground.

"Greetings, sir! Long live the sir!"

Tian Buli looked at the maids and young ladies who came in. There were maids and young ladies as well.

"Are you all maids in the mansion?" Tian Buli sat beside the couch, not in a hurry to leave.

Zhou Jiao quickly introduced them, "Two of them are my maids, and the other three are my relatives, who are all here to play."

Tian Buli nodded.

"Since we have met, it must be fate. Call Xiaodian over. I will take you to Hanshan Town to stay there for a few days and then send you back."

Zhou Jiao quickly stood up and said happily, "Yes, Master! Xiaodian is at home, and there are quite a few people in the Hu family, shall we call them together?"

Tian Buli shook his head.

"I can't bring many people with me, just a few of you will do, no more than seven."

A mortal's body is heavy, and he cannot carry so many people even if he rides on clouds or mist.

But it doesn’t mean there are no spells that can lead people.

Some powerful monsters can capture people in large numbers and swallow people by the thousands.

Tian Buli, who had returned from studying abroad in the Flying Sword World, could naturally lead people by relying on the laws of spiritual energy and physics.

Taoism has its own rules, and swordsmanship has its own rules. The use of spiritual energy conforms to both rules, but it also conforms to more than just these two rules.

Whether it is the Taoism of this world or the swordsmanship of the sword cultivation world, they are all one of the three thousand great ways, and things like spiritual energy and magic power can themselves change in a thousand ways.

Tian Buli could take many people away, but he didn't want to alarm the Hu family, nor did he want to take dozens or hundreds of people here with him.

There are many people and many gossips. Nowadays, I don’t mind giving benefits to some people, but I won’t do anything to save face.

Several young ladies from the Zhou family quickly greeted Tian Buli.

Zhou Mudan smiled and said, "Master, you look really young. My mother saw you once when she came here before, and I was born a year after she returned home."

Tian Buli was confused and looked at the girl with a funny expression.

"Your words may easily lead to misunderstanding. Although I am a playboy, I am not a heartless person. Those who are in love with me are well-fed and well-clothed in my house, and they are rich and prosperous. How could they have children outside?"

Zhou Mudan said quickly: "That's not what I meant. My parents are fine."

Zhou Jiao watched this scene with a smile.

"Master, do you still remember that the girls from the Lan, Li, and Zhou families were all here and they all came to see you when you came back. At that time, they wanted to take a concubine for you to leave more incense."

"These children are all descendants of the legitimate daughters and noble ladies of the past. Almost 20 years have passed, and a new group of people have also been replaced."

Zhou Jiao was full of emotion, with a kindness and happiness on her face that didn't match her age.

Tian Buli waited for a few minutes, and then heard the sound of running outside.

Not long after, a young man with a slicked-back hair and a lady dressed elegantly came in with him.

As soon as the young man came in, he knelt down and kowtowed. His movements were quick and decisive, and it was obvious that he had some mediocre kung fu skills.

"Hanwen pays respects to father! I wish father eternal happiness and a long life!"

"Your daughter-in-law Qi Mingzhu pays respects to your father-in-law! I wish you eternal happiness and a long life!"

Tian Buli and Zhou Jiao also had a little son. When they came down and encountered the plague, Zhou Jiao was pregnant and later gave birth to a son named Tian Hanwen.

Now that my son is twenty years old, it is natural for him to get married and have children.

Tian Buli didn't care much about this son.

Even Tian Cong and Tian Yuan, after growing up, still relied more on themselves and their mother, and Tian Buli rarely disciplined them.

Looking at the young man in front of him, Tian Buli didn't have any feeling of father and son at all.

Although he could sense the blood relationship, he looked like the kind of playboy that Tian Buli hated.

"Get up. I'll take your mother and sister to Hanshan Town for a look. I'll send them back in a few days."

"If you have nothing to do, don't stay at home all day. Study, learn martial arts, and go out and start a family as soon as possible."

Originally, Tian Buli came here to give some benefits to his family, thinking that he would not be as stingy as before.

But after seeing his good-for-nothing son, he suddenly thought that these people should go out and be independent, and not rely on their parents all day long.

Tian Hanwen and his wife didn't dare to speak at this time.

Everyone knows that Taoist Tian is not very friendly to his own descendants. Those who were truly treated as his own descendants had long been sent to practice. The ones here are just bastards who are not valued.

Moreover, more than ten years ago, Taoist Priest Tian erected a monument as a vow, stating that the family business would not be passed on to the descendants of the Tian family, and he would not recognize the descendants of later generations.

It is unclear how many generations the title of Duke of Zhenguo can be passed down in the future.

Zhou Jiao didn't dare to speak at this time.

Feeling the air nearby become quiet, Tian Buli suddenly felt that he was being too casual.

Now this is a real feudal family, and an aristocratic family with many rules.

Both Zhou Jiao and the son and daughter-in-law in front of them were native feudal aristocrats.

Under this rule and tradition between the emperor and his subjects, the son would not dare to speak loudly to his father.

Zhou Jiao didn't dare to say a word.

Tian Buli felt helpless.

Usually when the dragonfly is around, there is someone beside her who talks and advises her.

Also because of Dou Niang's presence, he had not been able to feel his absolute status and dominance over the entire Tian family before.

"Forget it. I usually come back to eat, drink, sleep and spend time with women. I haven't taught you anything since you were a child. This time I will take you and your wife over to have a look and teach you some martial arts that your talents can learn, so that you can live a long life in the future."

After hearing this, Tian Hanwen excitedly knelt on the ground and said, "Thank you, father! Your kindness in raising me is heavier than a mountain. The clothes I wore when I was a child were left by you. Thanks to those patchwork clothes, your grandchildren have all grown up well." Tian Hanwen's wife, who was standing next to him, smiled happily and said nothing.

Tian Buli nodded and said, "Go and bring the child over for me to see."

Seeing that her father-in-law acknowledged her grandchildren, Qi Mingzhu, who had not met her father-in-law since she got married, quickly stood up.

"I'll bring Qing'er and Ling'er to see Grandpa right now!"

Zhou Jiao also smiled and said, "Go ask Xiaodian why he hasn't come yet?"

The maid next to her reminded, "Madam, the young lady should be changing her clothes and dressing up. I'll send someone to urge her."

"Okay." Zhou Jiao followed the maid's topic and continued with Tian Buli: "Xiaodian's marriage has not been arranged yet. She is not in a hurry, and I can't help it. She must marry into a good family."

Tian Buli said: "Things like this depend on fate, you can't force it."

After having a rare opportunity to enjoy himself with his family and meet his grandchildren, Tian Buli transformed himself into a dragon in the clouds and enveloped the dozen or so people in the yard.

Zhou Jiao felt like she was standing in heavy fog. After looking around for a few seconds, she discovered that the fog around her was blown away by the wind.

The fog was like a puff of smoke, which disappeared when the wind blew.

After the fog dissipated, Tian Buli stood in front of everyone, but the place where they were was no longer the Tian Mansion in Tianjia County.

Qi Mingzhu held her little daughter in her arms and looked around, and found that they had come to a courtyard with flowers and plants.

The yard is open, spacious and clean, the flowers and plants are neatly trimmed, and there are many soothing bird calls.

"We're here." Tian Buli said, "I'll go take care of my own business. You go find Bai Lian and the others to make arrangements."

Tian Buli left after saying this and continued to busy himself with his own affairs.

Zhou Jiao breathed a sigh of relief, and after Tian Buli left, she took a group of people to Bai Lian's residence, Lianyeyuan.

Qi Mingzhu asked in a low voice: "Master is leaving now?"

Zhou Jiao had a good relationship with her daughter-in-law, so she reminded her, "The master has been very busy, so don't disturb his cultivation. Now that we have done what we should do, it would be inappropriate to bother the master again."

Qi Mingzhu and Tian Hanwen were both silent, and Tian Dian, who was dressed brightly and beautifully next to them, was also unhappy.

Tian Dian said: "My father still likes children more. I remember that when I was a child, I often talked to my father. After I grew up, my father didn't talk to me as much."

Zhou Jiao smiled and said, "Because you have grown up and become a big girl."

Tian Dian felt that she was not old at all and was still a little girl.

But no matter how much of a little girl she is at heart, she is no longer a little girl physically. She is already a young woman now and can no longer pretend to be young, and she is not that cute anymore.

The group soon met the servants and relatives there. When they arrived at the Lotus Leaf Garden, they found a yellow-haired rabbit practicing boxing on the grass.

It was a yellow-haired rabbit standing on two feet, practicing boxing moves in very slow movements, as if it was simply doing fitness.

Huang Tu was exercising. When he saw a stranger coming, he quickly and calmly retracted his fist and walked back to the house without looking back.

Zhou Jiao recognized the rabbit and hurriedly walked up to him and called out, "Master Rabbit, I haven't seen you for many years. Are you okay?"

The Yellow Rabbit King stopped and turned around with a frown, looking at her like a retired senior leader in a high position, "Do you know me?"

Zhou Jiao said hurriedly, "I can't forget. When I was still a new disciple, the master arranged for me to farm. It was Taoist Priest Yellow Rabbit and Taoist Priest White Rabbit who sent me food. I entertained the White Rabbit King well in the past few years. Unfortunately, I have never had the chance to meet Taoist Priest Yellow Rabbit again to repay his kindness."

The yellow rabbit was horrified and at a loss. He held one hand in the air and asked nervously, "White Rabbit King? When did it happen?"

Huang Tu's shock was not pretended; he was truly terrified.

How dare that little rabbit call himself the king?

When the yellow rabbit thought that the only little white rabbit weaker than himself actually had the rebellious intention of becoming the king, he became so anxious that he could not remain calm. He wished he could go back and bully the little white rabbit and have a good talk with the whimsical rabbit.

Zhou Jiao didn't understand the relationship between the rabbits, and quickly told them about how Tian Buli had brought the white rabbits down the mountain to travel and asked the people in the mansion to entertain the White Rabbit King well.

On the other hand, Tian Buli and the women from the sword cultivation world built a luxury car powered by spirit stones.

This car can float in the air or fly up to dozens of meters.

The speed can be adjusted between one meter per second to several hundred meters per second, and a high-level spirit stone can be used for fifty years.

It can accommodate up to eight people, and if the driver squeezes in, it can accommodate ten people.

After dealing with family matters for seven or eight days, Tian Buli sent a group of people back.

After everyone arrived at the Tian family, Tian Buli took the little yellow rabbit to the Hu family next door.

The Hu family is now headed by Baoer and Gouer. Baoer had asked people to prepare everything long ago, and vegetarian dishes, wine and meat were ready when Tian Buli arrived.

After Tian Buli sat down, he looked at Leopard and Gou'er, and asked curiously to Gou'er, who was already a middle-aged man, "Why are you so old?"

The dog Hu Mingzong said awkwardly: "I often go out for walks and have a beard, so I look a little older."

The yellow rabbit was eating at the next table, and a table of delicious food was set aside for it.

Although I really want to go home and teach the little white rabbit a lesson, I am now away from home with my owner, so I have to wait for him to come back.

Anyway, it all happened twenty years ago, so there’s no rush to go back now.

If I say I have diarrhea and need to go home to rest, my owner will definitely not take me out next time.

While Huang Tu forgot about his troubles and was eating and drinking, Tian Buli and the two sons of the Hu family also regained some of their old friendship after a few drinks.

Gou'er sighed and said, "My father and I are both bad at being officials. My father was framed by villains in the court and was exiled to be a county magistrate."

"I donated money to become an official, but after a few years I came back. Home is still the best place."

Tian Buli smiled and said, "I didn't intend to let you be the head of the family. I originally intended to give it to Bao'er. However, family affairs are like national affairs. It is common for orders to change from day to night. Do you need me to help you divide the family? I don't think your father is the kind of person who can do the math."

The leopard and the dog looked at each other and quickly stood up and saluted.

"Thank you, Second Father! Please make the decision!"

Tian Buli was thoughtful and extended his hand for the two to sit down and talk.

"Of course I know what's going on in this family. Even if you don't fight, your wives, concubines, sons, daughters, relatives, and servants will inevitably use this as an excuse to provoke and quarrel."

"When your mother was here, she was in charge of everything. Now that she has gone to Hanshan Town to enjoy her life, it's time to divide the family here."

"This house will be given to Bao'er as we said before. As his second father, I will have someone build another house on a vacant lot nearby. The Tian family will contribute half, and the Hu family will contribute half."

"Your mother still has a lot of money, all for you three. I will divide it into four parts, one for you three brothers, and one for your mother's poor relatives."

"The land should be divided equally between you two brothers. You have relied on me to acquire so much land over the years. Don't say who is at a disadvantage or who is taking advantage. Just consider it as giving me some face, okay?"

The two brothers quickly said, "Yes! We will listen to Second Dad!"
