A Little Trouble

"Cough cough~"

Just as Xiao Yan was wondering how to answer Xiao Yi Xian, a cough suddenly came from over there.

Subconsciously, both of them, including Xiao Xiao who was being held, turned their gaze toward the direction from which the sound came.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Great-Grandpa! Daddy's back!"

Upon seeing her family, Xiao Xiao immediately waved her little hands excitedly.

Especially now that she was being held by her father, Xiao Xiao felt a strong urge to show off.

"Father, Mother, Grandpa! This is Xiao Yi Xian."

At this moment, Xiao Yan also called out to the three people who were slowly walking towards him.

At the same time, he took the opportunity to introduce Xiao Yi Xian to Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue, a married couple.

"Grandpa Xiao, Uncle, Aunt."

Xiao Yi Xian, whose attention had been diverted by Xiao Xiao's appearance, immediately became nervous when she saw Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue arrive.

As for Xiao Lin's presence, Xiao Yi Xian didn't get that feeling.

"You're back! Xiao Yi Xian, right? Hehe, don't be nervous. From now on, just treat the Xiao Household as your own."

Xiao Zhan simply nodded to Xiao Yan, then smiled and said to Xiao Yi Xian.

He wasn't blind; naturally, he could see the unusual relationship between Xiao Yi Xian and Xiao Yan.

"Xiao Yi Xian, what an adorable girl! Come, tell your aunt about you and Yan'er."

Unlike Xiao Zhan, who, as a man, didn't quite know how to express his emotions, Yang Xiyue's eyes lit up the moment she saw Xiao Yi Xian, and she enthusiastically stepped forward and pulled Xiao Yi Xian away.

Before being pulled away by her future mother-in-law, Xiao Yi Xian glanced at Xiao Yan.

Xiao Yan smiled and nodded at Xiao Yi Xian.

He believed his mother wouldn't make things difficult for Xiao Yi Xian.

And so, feeling a little lost, Xiao Yi Xian was pulled aside by Yang Xiyue to have a private talk.

As for Xiao Lin, after giving Xiao Yi Xian a reassuring look when she looked over, he and Xiao Zhan came to Xiao Yan's side, who was holding Xiao Xiao.

Since Xiao Yan, the father, had just returned, neither Xiao Lin nor Xiao Zhan had any intention of taking Xiao Xiao back from Xiao Yan.

After all, they are father and daughter, and this is their first meeting. They should be given some opportunities for close contact.

"Grandpa, you're so mean! When you went to the Starfall Pavilion last time, Xiao Xiao should have already been born, right? Why didn't you just tell me?"

Looking at his grandfather approaching, Xiao Yan couldn't help but complain.

My own grandfather has tricked me again...

Sure enough, he really needed to find an opportunity to get revenge on his grandfather and get back at him!

Xiao Yan's idea had become increasingly firm.

"You still have the nerve to complain? Didn't I give you such obvious hints back then? Besides, didn't you already know about Cai Lin's pregnancy?"

Why didn't you remember it yourself?

Xiao Lin stated that he would not take the blame for this.

Sure enough, as his grandfather finished speaking, Xiao Yan blushed slightly.

He simply forgot about that...

After Xiao Lin gave Xiao Yan his hint, he thought the kid would go home to visit soon.

Who would have thought that this wait would last for more than two years...

"By the way, was Xiao Xiao's name chosen by Cai Lin?"

After deciding to ignore the previous topic, Xiao Yan suddenly asked another question.

In Xiao Yan's view, this point was crucial.

Because if Cai Lin gave Xiao Xiao that name, it means that the other party has basically accepted her.

Otherwise, why would Xiao Xiao have the surname "Xiao"?

It's more likely that her surname is "Cai" and her given name is Cai Xiao.

"That's right, it was Cai Lin who took it."

This time, it was Xiao Zhan who answered Xiao Yan.

To be honest, both Xiao Zhan and Yang Xiyue are extremely satisfied with Medusa as their daughter-in-law!

It's worth noting that over the past two years, Medusa has occasionally stayed at the Xiao Household's residence for a period of time.

The couple could naturally see that Medusa had gradually integrated herself into the Xiao Household.

Therefore, he was extremely respectful when facing the two elders.

Although at first, Medusa's status as the queen of the Snake-People Tribe made the couple feel that she was a bit aloof.

However, after spending more time together, they discovered that Medusa also had another, unknown, gentle side.

At least when facing the Xiao Household family, she never considered herself the queen of the Snake-People Tribe.

Therefore, not only the couple, but the entire Xiao Household family has almost accepted Medusa.

At the same time, seeing his father nod, Xiao Yan's smile became increasingly difficult to hide.

"Father, Xiao Xiao hasn't seen Mother for a long time, nor Uncle and Second Uncle. Can you take me to see them?"

Just then, Xiao Xiao suddenly spoke up.

When she woke up last time, she didn't see her mother, her eldest uncle, or her second uncle.

I woke up this time and didn't see her again, so of course I miss her terribly!

"Okay! Daddy will take you there in a bit! By the way, Daddy, Grandpa, where are Cai Lin, my eldest brother, and my second brother? Aren't they at the Xiao Household?"

When Xiao Xiao brought it up, Xiao Yan asked curiously.

However, this time, after Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Zhan couldn't help but frown.

Upon seeing this, Xiao Yan's heart skipped a beat, and he subconsciously asked, "Father, what's wrong? Did something happen?"

Clearly, Xiao Yan thought that Medusa and his two older brothers had gotten into trouble.

"It's just a minor trouble, nothing serious! It's just that in recent years, a sect called the Lion Nether Sect has emerged in the Northwest Continent and is expanding rapidly, already threatening many surrounding countries."

The Snake-People Tribe of my Jia Ma Empire and the Tagor Desert are no exception!

Now, the various forces of the Jia Ma Empire have joined forces with the Snake-People Tribe to build the Xuanhuang Fortress on the southern border to resist the invasion of the Lion Nether Sect.

Cai Lin is now the commander-in-chief, and your eldest and second eldest brothers are also helping out at Xuanhuang Fortress.

Xiao Zhan briefly explained the current situation in the Northwest Continent to Xiao Yan.

However, after Xiao Zhan finished speaking, he took advantage of Xiao Yan's inattention to glance at his father with a rather helpless expression.

Xiao Zhan said it was just a minor problem because his father could easily resolve it in no time.

However, his own father was like a salted fish, showing no intention of making a move whatsoever.

They even went so far as to call it a trial for Xiao Ding and Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan was also helpless in this regard.

After all, what could he do when his own father had said that?

Subsequently, when Xiao Yan inquired about the strength of the Lion Nether Sect, Xiao Zhan did not hide anything and told him the truth.

However, after Xiao Zhan finished explaining the strength of the Lion Nether Sect, Xiao Yan's eyes widened in astonishment.
