Third Uncle

"I am home!" exclaimed a thunderous and boisterous voice. The screeching could already be heard here at their location, but Gao Lan Mie was very sure that the owner of the voice was still not that close. Sound friction.

This technique allowed someone to transmit their voice as amplified sound waves. The farther you are, the stronger the sound is, it lessens if the user is nearer.

But judging from the enormous spiritual presence, he should be near, Gao Lan Mei was now even more sure of that.

Gritting her teeth furiously, trying her best not to fall to her knees as it was too much for her current physique to take the friction. She was not even sure if blood was oozing from her ears!

Covering his ears, "Gao Shen!" Gao Qi did not know if he should be happy to see his younger brother or be enraged with his way of greeting.

His ears were reverberating because of the sound. 'Did he transmit this across entire Gao Manor?!' if he did, Gao Qi would make sure to give him an earful.

It did not matter if he was stronger in cultivation, Gao Qi was still the eldest!

The door of the room opened abruptly, and the wind bought the presence of a man who came in quickly to enwrap Gao Qi in a bear hug, "Hahaha! Brother did you miss me?" the man was so happy that he did not even notice or realize the glares that he got from the people in the room, especially from the brother he was now hugging very tightly.

Gao Qi could only grunt, as his brother was squeezing him too tightly. He was initially upset with Gao Shen's way of greeting, but seeing how happy the man was, he can only sigh and let it pass, "Welcome home." they were not able to see each other for years anyway.

Gao Shen was as tall as Gao Qi, probably even taller. He wore a white robe laced with gold, looking at the way it expensively moved with him, it seemed to be made of some kind of high-quality cloth like silk perhaps.

The handsome face looked so carefree that it did not hide his great delight to be home.

Gao Lan Mei also noticed the red Buddha amulet bracelet that he was wearing. Cultivation Restriction Talisman. Being red meant that he was from a sect and that he is an inner disciple.

From Gao Lan Mei's borrowed memory, Gao Shen was the genius of the Gao Family. 

Gao Shen left home, 'forcefully' by her grandfather to focus on cultivation. He was not kicked out really, but that felt like it when he seems to prefer to have a carefree life rather than following rules of a Sect and increase his spiritual rank. 

Gao Lan Mei also remembered that her third uncle was very much in tune with her petty tricks before, a partner in crime, some might say.

At a very young age of twenty summers, he was able to reach the Immortal Martial Degree making him qualified to enter the Immortal Domain, where all marital cultivators dream of entering.

The man as far as she remembered was like her father's shadow, though his cultivation was higher, Gao Shen treated Gao Qi as his idol.

Counting right, he had not been home for more than five years. She could already imagine his rant later on how he was so lonely just cultivating, remembering how he did that a lot before.

"Yes! Yes! I am home at last!" then nodding exaggeratedly, finally realizing that others were in the room,

"Oh! Sister-in-law!" he approached Madam Gao for a hug but was halted by Gao Qi by grabbing his robe's collar.

With a frown, "Brother, you are as stingy as ever!" he said, smiling playfully, "Oh! Mei Mei! This should be our Mei'er!" then he moved in front of Gao Lan Mei, intending to hug her. To his dismay, she stepped back before he could reach her.

"Welcome home, third uncle." She had all the good memories relating to this man. Still, she was not used to being hugged.
