Mythical Luo, starting with the fox spirit

"Did you catch those parasites who tarnished the Yang family's reputation during your inspection of the Yang family's strongholds this time?" Old Master Yang teased Yang Ping'an, asking him about the progress of his inspection.

"I remember now, those four guys you sent over a couple of days ago really gave me a fright." Old Master Yang waved his hands, feigning surprise.

"I didn't expect that Ping An would also capture the third leader of the Wen family." Yang Yitan's father came closer and looked Yang Ping An up and down as if he were looking at a rare animal.

"Grandpa, what time is it? I really have something urgent to do, I'm so anxious I'm about to get angry!" Yang Ping'an anxiously changed the subject when he heard the questions from the two old men.

Grandpa Yang and the others exchanged glances, understanding what he was anxious about, and couldn't help but smile.

"Tell me, what's the matter?" Old Master Yang sat up straight and asked Yang Ping'an.

"Grandpa, do you know what everyone in the Dao Alliance is talking about?" Yang Ping'an asked, carefully observing the expressions of Grandpa Yang and the others.

"Oh? Which topic are you referring to?" Old Master Yang feigned ignorance, asking in surprise, "Is it that mysterious masked group from the Daoist Alliance, always upsetting others?"

Yang Ping'an was stunned for a moment upon hearing this. He turned his head and glanced at Yang Yitan, who was hiding in a corner of the room eavesdropping on Yang Ping'an and the others' conversation.

When Yang Yitan saw Yang Pingan looking at him, he was startled. He hadn't told Yang Pingan that he had been pulled into a masked organization by Wang Quanba Ye and Yang Yitan in the past few days.

Wang Quanba originally wanted to bring Yang Ping'an in as well, but unfortunately, Yang Ping'an went out on a date with his white moonlight.

Yang Yitan had many thoughts on his mind, but he didn't show them on his face. He just kept Yang Ping'an in the dark for now and would give him a surprise later.

Yang Ping'an failed to detect any flaws in Yang Yitan's expression. If he hadn't known about the Masked Gang beforehand, he probably would have remained in the dark.

"Grandpa, it's not that masked gang." The most important thing right now is that the relationship between Yang Ping'an and Dongfang Huaizhu has been exposed.

"Are there any other interesting stories about the Dao Alliance?" Old Master Yang asked Yang Yitan's father, feigning curiosity.

"I haven't heard of anything else?" Yang Yitan's father was also someone who loved to watch the drama unfold, and he and Old Master Yang worked together in perfect harmony.

At this moment, Yang Ping'an realized that Grandpa Yang and his group were asking questions they already knew the answer to.

"Don't try to fool me. I'm talking about the rumors about me staying at the God Volcano Manor." He took a deep breath, telling himself to calm down. Now was not the time to cause trouble for himself.

"Oh, you mean this one!" Old Master Yang exclaimed in sudden realization, then continued...

"Isn't this normal? Wang Quanba often lets the two little ones stay overnight at our Yang residence. What's the big deal?"

"You only stayed one night at Shenhuo Mountain Villa, what's the big deal?" Yang Yan also stepped forward to join in the fun.

Yang Ping'an looked around and saw the amusing nature of Grandpa Yang, Yang Yan, and the others on their faces.

Yang Ping'an understood that they wanted him to tell the truth so they could see him make a fool of himself.

"Hmph, a bunch of mortals, I've already seen through your intentions," Yang Ping'an thought to himself.

"That's right, I like Dongfang Huaizhu, the young lady of Shenhuo Mountain Manor, and I stayed overnight in Huaizhu's courtyard that day." Yang Ping'an readily admitted his feelings.

Upon hearing Yang Ping'an's words, Yang Yan, Old Master Yang, and the others could no longer contain their laughter and burst into tears.

"Hahaha~" The hearty laughter of Grandpa Yang and his companions startled the birds in the yard, which flew to the roof and chirped as they searched for the source of the sound.

"Ping An, why didn't you tell me you have someone you like? Do you treat me like an outsider?" Yang Yan asked Yang Ping An with a straight face after she had finished laughing.

"Aunt, how could I treat you like an outsider?" Yang Ping'an was very familiar with Yang Yan and could see through Yang Yan's intention to make a fool of herself at a glance, so he said helplessly.

"I just confirmed my relationship with Huaizhu, and I haven't had a chance to share this good news with you all yet."

"I'm so anxious right now. Rumors are spreading everywhere within the Dao Alliance, and I don't know how many people are secretly slandering me."

"Don't worry about this. We deliberately allowed the news to spread," Old Master Yang coughed and explained to Yang Ping'an.

"Before, I was worried that you wouldn't like that little girl from Shenhuo Mountain Manor," Old Master Yang said, glancing at Yang Ping'an's surprised face.

"Now that I see you enjoying yourself and that girl from the Dongfang family are in love, I'm relieved," said Old Master Yang, stroking his beard with satisfaction.

"I'm not against these discussions, I'm just worried that bad rumors might hurt Huaizhu." Yang Ping'an didn't expect that the spread of this matter would also be fueled by Grandpa Yang.

He laid out his concerns, hoping that Mr. Yang would take this into consideration.

"Oh, I see, Ping An is concerned about his fiancée." Yang Yan clapped her hands in realization and said to everyone.

"Haha~, she's already being treated like this before she's even married into the family. Who knows how much she'll cherish Ping An after they're actually married?"

Yang Yitan's mother joked with a smile.

"Fiancée?" Yang Ping'an was stunned; this was a scenario he hadn't anticipated.

"Yes, while you were away, your uncle already made a trip to Shenhuoshan Manor with gifts." Yang Yitan's mother looked at Yang Ping'an, who had grown taller than herself, with satisfaction.

"What's this about your fiancée?" Yang Ping'an asked her anxiously.

"We have already discussed and agreed on your marriage with Dongfang Huaizhu with Shenhuoshan Manor."

"The leader of the Eastern Alliance has also approved of your relationship with Dongfang Huaizhu. We'll find an auspicious day in a few days to arrange your engagement."

Yang Yitan's mother looked gently at Yang Ping'an in front of her. In the blink of an eye, the little baby wrapped in swaddling clothes had grown into an adult.

"In two years, when you're both adults, our two families can hold a wedding."

"Look, I'm helping you prepare your betrothal gifts. Aren't you going to thank me and treat me to a few big meals?" Yang Yan waved the account book in front of Yang Ping'an.

"Hmph, I've worked so hard, if you can't satisfy me, your betrothal gifts will be..." Yang Yan threatened Yang Ping'an.

Yang Ping'an stared intently at Old Master Yang and the others, his eyes slightly tipsy, a sour feeling rising in his nose. He was touched by how Old Master Yang and the others had considered his needs in everything they did.

Having relatives like Grandpa Yang is the greatest fortune of Yang Ping'an's life, and these relatives are the family that Yang Ping'an is determined to protect with his life.

Yang Ping'an silently vowed that anyone who wanted to harm his family would have to get past him and see if the sword in his hand would allow it.

"Thank you for your kind help, Aunt. There will definitely be a big meal, whether you can eat it or not depends on your performance." Yang Ping'an composed himself and replied to Yang Yan with a bright smile.
