The Xiao Clan's Quartet Fell Out of Favor
"Come here, let me introduce you to a younger sister." Xiao Zhan put his arm around Xiao Yan and said something surprising.
Xiao Yan was taken aback for a moment, and quickly refused, "Father, I'm still a child. Besides, aren't you afraid Mother will find out?"
His tone was strange, and there was a hint of warning in it.
Didn't expect my father to be so brave? He actually dared to find a girl and even bring her along. Aren't you afraid of dying?
If you want to die, don't drag me down with you!
Seeing Xiao Yan's strange look, Xiao Zhan was furious and slapped Xiao Yan on the head.
"You brat, how old are you? You're already thinking about all this fancy stuff?"
He was calculating in his mind.
"Don't let me find out which bastard dared to corrupt my son, or I'll make him regret ever being born."
Xiao Zhan was unaware that his son was "self-taught."
Xiao Yan stammered, looking aggrieved, "Didn't you say that yourself?"
"Alright, one of your distant cousins has come to the Xiao Clan today. She will be staying with us for a while, and I'm taking you three brothers to meet her."
Then, Xiao Zhan whispered mysteriously to Xiao Yan, "Let me tell you, your mother really likes that little girl."
If you dare bully her, hmph~
Xiao Yan shuddered suddenly, and imagining Xiao Long's anger, he immediately assured her:
"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely get along well with that cousin."
Xiao Zhan looked at his sensible son with satisfaction. Very good. As long as Xiao Yan doesn't cause trouble, then the two brothers Xiao Ding and Xiao Yan, who are already teenagers, will naturally be fine.
Very good, Xiao Zhan can already foresee his happy life in the future.
Little did he know that his youngest son would soon cause him a major scandal.
"Let's go find your older brothers and see how those two boys are doing, whether they're slacking off."
Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan's figures gradually disappeared into the distance, casting two long shadows in the twilight.
"Bang!"
Two boys, aged thirteen or fourteen, were engaged in a fierce battle.
With a loud bang, the two separated instantly.
A gentle-looking boy dressed in blue swiftly formed hand seals and let out a low shout.
"Vine Bind".
Then, several vines suddenly rose up on the field and shot towards his opponent.
Unsurprisingly, the rather burly red-clad youth, who was the opponent, simply circulated his Dou Qi.
"Thunder Shadow".
Lightning flashed, and his figure seemed transparent as he easily broke through the area covered by vines.
"Good!"
As a familiar voice rang out from outside the arena, Xiao Zhan stepped forward, while Xiao Yan, who followed closely behind, looked at his two older brothers with envy.
During the battle just now, Xiao Yan only saw two streaks of Flowing Light intersecting, unable to make out their specific figures, and at the same time, a sense of longing arose in his heart.
"Can I be this strong?"
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li greeted the two with smiles.
"Father!"
"Oh, Little Yanzi, what brings you here!" Xiao Li greeted him as if he were seeing a rare guest, ruffling Xiao Yan's head.
This earned him a roll of his eyes from Xiao Yan, whose little face was puffed up with anger, making him look like a little pufferfish.
Since breaking through to the Da Dou Shi, Xiao Ding Xiao Li have already begun cultivating on their own.
Xiao Yan was not allowed to observe the two brothers' training, after all, he was just a weak little kid, and if he was not careful, he might have to travel through time again.
Watching the close interaction between the three brothers on the field, Xiao Zhan felt very gratified.
The three boys have always had a good relationship. Although Xiao Li is sometimes a bit mischievous and may tease his younger brother Xiao Yan, he takes great care of him.
He was often mischievous and got into trouble, such as peeping at little girls taking a bath, but he perfectly illustrated what it means to share hardships together—he received Xiao Long's loving education together.
"Alright, Li'er."
In the end, Xiao Zhan stopped Xiao Li, who was about to continue causing trouble for Xiao Yan, and said, "I have important matters to discuss with you today."
Xiao Ding Xiao Li both straightened up. Since their fathers had to come in person, the matter must be quite serious.
"Don't be so serious," Xiao Zhan said, somewhat amused and exasperated by their formal demeanor.
"It's just to let you go see your mother."
Xiao Ding and Xiao Ding rarely stay at home nowadays, spending most of their time in the cultivation room. Today, Xiao Zhan specially called them over.
"Hmm?" Xiao Ding and his brother exchanged a suspicious glance. In the end, Xiao Ding, as the elder brother, hesitated before speaking:
"Father, have you made Mother angry again?"
"Hey, you children, do you really think I'm so worthless in your eyes?"
Xiao Zhan said with some heartache.
The three Xiao Clan brothers. "Yes."
How much they used to admire their strong father!
However, when Xiao Zhan repeatedly used them as a shield, they finally understood what the "younger brother's position" in the family meant.
Xiao Zhan was like a little brother in front of Xiao Long! They couldn't see any of his strength.
Seeing the looks in the three people's eyes Xiao Zhan only felt...
Oh well, what can he do?
The men in the Xiao Clan have been afraid of their wives for a long time; it's a family trait, nothing to be ashamed of.
Even though my great-uncle is already Dou Sheng Expert, he is still completely submissive to his senior!
Finally, Xiao Yan took the initiative to help Xiao Zhan out of the predicament and explained the reason.
Xiao Ding Xiao Li are both perfectly acceptable.
After all, having another younger sister isn't bad; who knows, if I offend my mother one day, she might be able to plead for me on her behalf.
Now, Little Yanzi has started to understand things and is no longer as spoiled as before; she's not cute at all anymore.
Here comes another one, isn't there?
However, at the dinner table, they realized that they had ultimately misplaced their trust.
"Xun Er, try this. Aunt Long made it for you herself..."
The Gang of Four of the Xiao Clan watched Xiao Long, who was constantly feeding Xun Er, with expressionless faces, their hearts bleeding.
"Why haven't I ever received this kind of treatment!" the four of them cried out in unison.
"Thank you, Aunt Long," Xiao Xun Er replied sweetly.
"Oh my!" Xiao Long's heart melted upon hearing this, and her smile deepened once more.
"Then Xun Er, eat more!" Xiao Long stroked Xun Er's little head, looking at her still pale face, and said with regret.
"Why is this child so sickly? Should we get Xiao Xun Er some good food to nourish her body?"
"Click~"
All four of them were now frozen in place. Seeing Xiao Long's unusual behavior, their thoughts raced.
"Hmm, this must be what is medically known as split personality!" Xiao Yan silently tried to explain this unusual scene scientifically.
"Could it be that the lady has been possessed?" Xiao Zhan pondered with a cold expression, his thoughts indeed belonging to the metaphysical side.
Xiao Ding and Xiao Li: "As expected, we're not blood-related, are we?" (Pass!)
"Hmm?" Seeing Xiao Zhan and the other three standing there, not even moving their chopsticks, Xiao Long's face darkened.
"What, is it because my cooking wasn't good? Hmm?"
"No, no, Madam (Mother) did a very good job."
Then came the bustling scene of cooking.
"Don't steal it, bro..."
"Hey, leave me a bite!" That was Xiao Yan's voice.
"You bunch of brats, get out of my way!"
Xun Er looked up at the four people who were just there to eat, a few question marks appearing above her head.
Seeing Xun Er's adorable and charming appearance, Xiao Long's maternal instincts kicked in once again.
"Come on, Xun Er, let's keep eating!"
"Yes, thank you, Aunt Long!"
