Talk With Mu Lin

"Long story short, after Bai Huang shot me, I fell into the ravine. However, my master saved me, and he taught me to become a cultivator." Tang Xiao then explained many things to Mu Lin, as he had told Mu Qingge earlier.

Mu Lin didn't doubt Tang Xiao's words about his master, and there were indeed many cultivators who always hid their identities to avoid their enemies, especially those rogue cultivators. "I didn't expect that Ouyang Hong's daughter was much more evil than her father, and she even still intended to kill you after famming you. Honestly, your grandfather and I still have regrets in our hearts because we couldn't save Little Ye from them, and we also regret it because your mother chose to commit suicide."

Tang Xiao's heart tightened when Mu Lin mentioned his parents, which made his anger boil, and he wanted to take revenge on the Ouyang family as soon as possible, but he couldn't do it yet.

Seeing that, Mu Lin patted Tang Xiao's shoulder as he softly spoke. "Little Xiao, I know your feelings, but you can't act rashly because a powerful cultivator is protecting the Ouyang family. Even if your grandfather and I join forces, we still can't necessarily win against him."

"Long Yin, right?" Mu Lin was surprised to hear the name come out of Tang Xiao's mouth. "Aunt Yuan already explained everything to me and Big Sis, and my grandfather hasn't visited us for the past seven years because he entered seclusion on Earth II."

"That's right, Long Yin and the Long Clan are too powerful, and no one can shake their dominance on Earth II, so you must always be careful." Hearing that, Tang Xiao inhaled the cold night air to calm himself down, and he tightened his fists. "Your grandfather was obsessed with taking revenge for Little Ye's death, so he decided to pursue the tyrant level, and he hasn't visited you and Yin'er for the past few years because of that."

Tang Xiao nodded in understanding before remembering something, and he then told Mu Lin. "Speaking of my grandfather, Aunt Yuan told me that he and my master have returned to this city, but I haven't met them yet, and they will probably arrive here soon."

"Hahaha! I haven't seen your grandfather in seven years, and your master has also been missing for the past year, so I can't wait to see them again." Mu Lin then turned to ask Tang Xiao. "Did you kill the two people in that alley?"

"Yes." Tang Xiao had no intention of hiding that from Mu Lin, especially after learning of his close relationship with his grandfather and master. "They were Bai Huang's subordinates, so I killed them because they tried to kill me first."

"Hahaha!" Mu Lin burst out laughing as he slapped Tang Xiao's shoulder quite hard. "That's good! I will support you for that! However, you must always remember one thing: you can take revenge, but you must not let your eyes and heart be blinded by revenge, and you must not take revenge blindly, or you will be no different from them."

"I understand, Senior."

Mu Lin then asked Tang Xiao to put on his disguise before he withdrew his aura. "What do you think of my daughter? Do you like her?"

"Haha." Tang Xiao laughed while rubbing the back of his head awkwardly. "Senior, only a blind man would not like a woman as beautiful as her, and I am not a hypocrite either, so I dare to tell you that I am indeed attracted to her. It's just that I feel a little strange after knowing the relationship between our families, and she must feel the same way as me, especially since I'm the son of her old friend."

"You're right about that. Even though Qingge is four years younger than your father, their relationship is actually very close, so she must feel strange about it." Mu Lin then looked up at the night sky with a soft sigh. "In fact, I once hoped that they would become a couple when they grew up, but fate said otherwise, especially since your father was born without profound veins. That's why they had to separate because he couldn't live on Earth II, but he ended up marrying your mother, and they lived happily for quite a long time before that incident happened. Conversely, that damn bastard caused my daughter to endure suffering, as she was perpetually mocked and humiliated by others due to the fact that she was pregnant without a husband. However, she never listened to them, nor did she feel hopeless about her situation."

Hearing Mu Lin's expectations about the relationship between his late father and Mu Qingge made Tang Xiao feel even more strange, but he had already decided to get closer to her and take her to be his third wife, so he directly ignored their past relationship.

"I initially didn't agree if you approached Qingge, especially since you're much younger than her, and you're also a dual cultivator with two wives. However, she has already decided that, and you are also Old Huang's grandson, so you can try approaching her if you are interested in her." Mu Lin then turned to Tang Xiao again, but he saw a trace of hesitation in his eyes, so he spoke to him again. "You might find it strange that she decided to give you a chance for Yan'er's sake, but she decided it not on a whim. She is her everything, and she is willing to do anything for her. She decided it was because my granddaughter liked you, and you were the first man who could make her calm and obedient."

Tang Xiao was speechless, especially since Mu Qingge had already told him about her daughter's situation, so he could understand it. However, he was still confused about how Mu Yan could be close and obedient to him, and he also felt an extraordinary closeness to her.

"All right, you don't need to think much, and let everything flow naturally like water." Mu Lin said this while patting Tang Xiao's shoulder. "Even though you already have two wives, I'm sure that you won't let them down, right?"

Tang Xiao nodded to Mu Lin. "Don't worry, I will never let them down, Senior."

"That's good." Mu Lin then pointed to a building behind the main building. "Qingge and Yan'er are there, so you can meet them there, and I will meet my guests while waiting for your grandfather and Lingyan to arrive."

After he said that, Mu Lin immediately walked back to his house, especially since there were more and more guests arriving, so he had to welcome them.

As soon as Tang Xiao arrived at the building that Mu Lin had pointed out before, Mu Yan immediately ran over to him. "Big Brother! Did my grandfather do something to you?"

"No, your grandfather only invited me to talk, and we talked quite a lot." Upon hearing that, Mu Yan let out a breath of relief as she lightly patted her chest, amusing Tang Xiao. "Why do you think that your grandfather will do something to me?"

"Before, my mother told him about you, but my grandfather said that he couldn't accept you approaching her, so I thought he would do something to you." Mu Yan then pulled Tang Xiao to sit on the sofa, and she sat between him and Mu Qingge. "Anyway, my mother told you that this is not your real face, so I want to see your face."

Since the building was quite far from the main building, Tang Xiao complied with her request by returning to his original form, and Mu Yan immediately grabbed his face. "Hehe, your real face is more handsome than your disguise, Big Brother."

"You also look beautiful in this dress, Yan'er." Tang Xiao replied while gently pinching Mu Yan's cheek. "It would be better if you continued to dress like this, and you look like a little goddess."

"Haha." Mu Yan laughed happily when he heard that. "Even though I'm not comfortable wearing a dress like this, I will start to get used to wearing this kind of dress, and my friends will be jealous if they see me this pretty."

Tang Xiao inwardly sighed after hearing that, and he felt that Mu Yan's mindset was not like a teenage girl, but she was more similar to a little girl.

Mu Qingge, who was sitting next to them, smiled faintly at their closeness, and she was truly happy to see her daughter so happy. "Does my father know your true identity now?"

"Yes. Previously, I thought that you had told him about my identity, but it turns out you haven't told him."

Mu Qingge shook her head at that. "Your identity is your secret, so I have no right to tell anyone, including my father. That's why I asked him to talk to you himself, so he could find out from you directly."

"What is your true identity, Big Brother?" Mu Yan curiously asked.

"My name is Xiao, but my surname is not Feng, and my real surname is Tang, so you can call me Tang Xiao."

"Eh?" Mu Yan released a low cry after hearing that. "Why do you have the same surname as Grandpa Huang? Are you related to him?"

"Grandpa Huang is my biological grandfather, so I naturally have the same surname as him."

"Ah!" Mu Yan let out a low cry again. "I didn't expect that you were Grandpa Huang's grandson, Big Brother. Anyway, I didn't like him because he always teased me whenever he came to our clan, but he never came for several years, so I didn't need to be annoyed because of him."

Tang Xiao was stunned for a moment after hearing that, but he remembered that Tang Huang was always like that, and he always teased him and Tang Yin when they were small. "Even though my grandfather always teased you, he never treat you bad, right?"

"No, Grandpa Huang is actually very kind to me, and he always brings a lot of items every time he visits us." Mu Yan then took out several things from her storage ring, and she showed them to Tang Xiao, some of which were green jade hairpins. "These items were gifts from him, and I like them so much. Despite this, I dislike him because he constantly makes fun of me in front of my friends, which embarrasses me."

Mu Qingge could only shake her head while listening to her daughter, and she then told Mu Yan. "Uncle Huang has just arrived, and he will definitely be looking for you here."

Hearing that, Mu Yan put all the items back into her storage ring, and she jumped up from the sofa while shouting at Tang Xiao. "Big brother! I don't want to meet Grandpa Huang, so you have to hide me from him."

However, Tang Xiao rejected Mu Yan's request outright, especially since he himself missed his grandfather. "I haven't seen my grandfather for seven years, so I want to meet him now. However, you don't need to worry about him, and I won't allow him to tease you, so let's wait for him to come, okay?"

Mu Yan wanted to protest to Tang Xiao, but Mu Qingge stopped her, causing her to droop her shoulders helplessly, and she sat down on the sofa again with a gloomy look.

'Is she always like this?' Tang Xiao asked Mu Qingge via voice transmission.

'Oh?' Mu Qingge was taken back for a moment after hearing that, especially since a beginner-level cultivator shouldn't be able to use it yet. 'Actually, Yan'er doesn't always behave like this, and she only behaves like this when she's with me, her grandfather, or your grandfather. That's why I was surprised by her closeness to you, especially since you two just met today.'

Tang Xiao nodded in understanding, and he then chatted with the two women, but Mu Yan did most of the talking. As for Mu Qingge, she didn't talk too much, but she willingly answered his every question.
