Martial arts have become extinct worldwide, yet I am forced to have a large family.

"Come in."

Yang Xian was too lazy to ask any more questions.

I guess Xiyan, like Lingling and the others, wanted to give herself a big "surprise"?

"etc!"

Ye Huairou stepped forward, blocking the doorway, her purple eyes fixed on Yang Xian. "I'm asking you, are you... that uncle?"

!!!

Upon hearing this, Yang Xian's heart sank.

Has this day finally come?

To admit it, or not to admit it?

Admittedly, given Ye Huairou's stubborn personality, who knows what she might do? She could even take action right here.

If she doesn't admit it, then what is the point of Zhou Xiyan bringing her here?

His gaze quickly swept towards Zhou Xiyan, seeking an answer.

Zhou Xiyan calmly looked back at him and nodded gently.

Relying on the "marital tacit understanding" cultivated through ninety-nine lifetimes, Yang Xian did not hesitate at all.

He met Ye Huairou's gaze and said truthfully, "That's right, I'm that uncle!"

"It's you...it really is you!"

Upon receiving an affirmative answer, Ye Huairou's body trembled slightly, and her pupils dilated dramatically.

In his mind, the figures of the uncle, Yang Xi'an, and Yang Xian in front of him suddenly merged together.

Lightning-based techniques...

Holding the same weapons...

I should have thought of that sooner...

Upon seeing this, Yang Xian's heart skipped a beat.

It's all over.

Judging from her expression, she doesn't really want to fight me here, does she?

"Huairou, let's go in first."

Zhou Xiyan reached out and gently patted Ye Huairou's shoulder before pulling her best friend across the threshold.

As soon as she entered, her gaze swept quickly across the living room.

Wow, it's so lively!

Aside from the two little ones, Feng and Ling, Zhou Xiyan had seen everyone else in the living room in Yang Xian's fragmented memories.

I wouldn't say I'm familiar with it, but it's definitely not unfamiliar either.

Before she arrived, she had already anticipated that today would be like this.

"Teacher Zhou! Teacher Zhou is here too!"

On the sofa, Feng, who had been quiet all along, suddenly jumped up and waved excitedly towards the door, "Over here! Teacher, sit here!"

The word "Teacher Zhou" made the already eerie atmosphere in the living room even more somber.

Zhou Xiyan smiled slightly in the direction of the wolf sisters, as if to say hello.

She then turned to the bewildered Chen Yufen, a gentle and graceful smile on her face, and handed her the gift.

"Hello, Auntie, my name is Zhou Xiyan, and I'm Yang Xian's girlfriend."

"This is a small gift I brought..."

She was well-mannered and spoke gently, leaving no room for criticism.

"Oh, hello, hello! Please come in and have a seat!"

Chen Yufen finally came to her senses, mechanically accepted the gift, her mind a complete mess.

Three more!

In total... six, seven, eight, nine!

Nine in total!

Just as Chen Yufen and Zhou Xiyan were exchanging pleasantries, Su Lingling, sitting on the sofa, narrowed her bright, beautiful eyes slightly.

"They've brought two henchmen with them; they're up to no good!"

Her gaze swept back and forth between Zhou Xiyan, Zhou Xier, and Ye Huairou.

This woman named Zhou Xiyan has a gentle and wifely appearance, but there is an unfathomable calmness hidden deep in her eyes, which makes it clear that she is not simple.

Looking at the reaction of those two purple-haired twins, they actually called her "teacher"?

So, they're also on her side!

Upon meeting, Su Lingling immediately regarded Zhou Xiyan as her number one enemy, an opponent she needed to be extremely wary of.

Jiang Mengyun maintained her elegant posture and remained silent.

Bai Chuyi was still eating her apple in small bites, as if all the disputes in the outside world had nothing to do with her, and she was very well-behaved.

Yang Xian then brought out three more small stools from the storage room and placed them near the wolf sisters.

"Xiyan, Xier, and... Ye Huairou, please sit down!"

"Thank you for your hard work," Zhou Xiyan said gently.

"Thank you, Brother Yang!" Zhou Xier said loudly, then sat down next to her sister.

Ye Huairou remained silent and obediently sat down.

Thus, in the small living room, the nine girls sat in a circle around the coffee table, clearly forming three distinct factions.

One is Jiang Mengyun, the "official wife" who is all alone but sits firmly on the sidelines.

Secondly, there is the "Su-Lin" duo, led by Su Lingling and her best friend Lin Qingxue.

Finally, there was the group led by Zhou Xiyan, which included Zhou Xier, Ye Huairou, and the Feng and Ling sisters, totaling five people.

Although a latecomer, its strength should not be underestimated.

As for Bai Chuyi, this simple, unnoticed girl...

Well, she was reaching for the second apple, and nobody was paying attention.

"Um..." Chen Yufen looked at the room full of beautiful women and finally came to her senses. "You all sit down for a while and chat. I'll go help out in the kitchen; the food will be ready soon!"

……

As soon as they entered the kitchen, Chen Yufen grabbed Yang Jianguo and whispered:

"Old Yang, look outside!"

"The eight girlfriends our son brought home today are all stunningly beautiful, just as gorgeous as Xiaobai!"

"I saw it." Yang Jianguo stopped what he was doing, turned his head, and said, "What's wrong? It's fine!"

"What's so good about it!" Chen Yufen glared at him.

"Those girls don't seem like easy to deal with!"

"If I married them all, they'd be tearing the roof off the house by accident! A fire in the backyard would be the least of my worries!"

Her meaning was clear: greed is like a snake trying to swallow an elephant.

When it comes to finding a woman, just find one suitable one to settle down with and live a stable life; there's no need to look for so many.

Otherwise, our family will be fighting every day from now on.

"Oh dear, what do you know!" Yang Jianguo, however, looked quite pleased with himself and continued flipping the spatula.

"That just proves how charming our son is! What are you panicking about!"

"Look at them, each one a stunning beauty, how well they match our son!"

"Besides, national policies have been relaxed now. If he's willing, he could marry eight or nine, or even a hundred!"

Chen Yufen instinctively retorted, "That's true, but..."

Yang Jianguo patted his chest, looking very confident.

"The fact that he was able to bring all these people home shows that he has the ability to keep them in check."

"I believe in my son's abilities, so stop worrying about it."

"Come quickly and lend a hand, don't keep the daughters-in-law waiting!"

------

The light in the living room seemed to become somewhat viscous at that moment.

Nine girls sat in a circle, but apart from Bai Chuyi, who was crunching away at her apple, the others were clearly not interested in the fruit.

"Darling, how come I've never heard you mention this Miss Zhou before?"

Su Lingling leaned back on the sofa armrest, her long legs crossed, her toes swaying gently. "Why don't you introduce us more? Otherwise, if we all sit together, it will seem like we 'old friends' are neglecting the newcomers."

She deliberately emphasized the pronunciation of the words "old friend".

The implication couldn't be clearer: we were here first, you're just a newcomer, you have to follow the rules.

Yang Xian touched his nose. "Um, Xi Yan is...?"

"I can handle it," Zhou Xiyan interrupted Yang Xian with a smile, her demeanor calm and composed.

She nodded slightly, her long blue hair falling over her shoulders, revealing a gentle yet somewhat aloof face.

"Huairou and I are both about to become sophomores at Canglan University. Our strength is average, and we are currently only at the late stage of the third realm."

After he finished speaking, the living room fell into a brief silence.

Su Lingling's swaying toes suddenly froze, and her smile also froze.

Canglan University?

The most prestigious martial arts academy in South China Sea City?

And it's... the late stage of the third realm?
