After stepping out of the medicinal field, Xiao Chong heard his mother calling out for him within the Xiao residence.
Ah, mothers, especially doting ones always get anxious the moment they can't see their child, even though Xiao Chong was already twelve years old.
If it weren't for the fact that both Xiao Chong and Xiao Yan's souls had transmigrated here, they would have been spoiled into good-for-nothing brats by Gu Xue.
With this amusing thought in mind, Xiao Chong flashed into Gu Xue's presence.
At this moment, Gu Xue was also entertaining the Nalan family.
"Mother, I'm back."
"Ah, look at you. Your fiancée has come all the way to see you, and you didn't even bother to come out and greet her."
"She's the little princess of the Yunlan Sect and the Nalan family. You should cherish her."
As she spoke, Gu Xue pushed Xiao Chong forward, urging him to stand in front of Nalan Yanran.
This wasn't just out of affection for Nalan Yanran as her future daughter-in-law, but likely also due to the influence of her background.
It seemed that in Xiao Chong's mother's heart, both the Nalan family and the Yunlan Sect were held in high regard.
Unfortunately, in Xiao Chong's eyes, not only was the Nalan family insignificant, but even the entire Yunlan Sect was too small for him.
It seemed that the development of the Xiao family would have to start with broadening their horizons.
Or perhaps, they could take a more direct and brutal approach—go out and annihilate a force comparable to the Yunlan Sect, which would rapidly expand the Xiao family's perspective.
While Xiao Chong was lost in these thoughts, Nalan Yanran let out a soft, trembling voice.
"Aunt Gu, what are you saying?"
Hearing Gu Xue's words, Nalan Yanran's face immediately flushed red.
Though she was only twelve years old, due to her cultivation of Dou Qi, the little girl had grown remarkably beautiful.
However, no matter how quickly or how well her body had developed, Yanran was still just a twelve-year-old girl. Hearing such words from Xiao Chong's mother was too much for her to handle.
Meanwhile, in the shadows, Xun'er, who was watching the scene, lightly stomped her jade-like foot, her voice carrying a hint of jealousy.
Just looking at Nalan Yanran's expression, Xun'er couldn't help but recall the message she had received not long ago from her family, including her father.
"If you like that boy Xiao Chong, then be bold about it. The Gu clan will support your choice."
"Just remember, don't accidentally lose your virginity."
"Since you and that boy are only twelve years old. Surely nothing so beastly would happen, right?"
The message from her family had left Xun'er feeling exhilarated.
Although she had rarely returned to her family, Xun'er knew just how high their standards were.
Who would have thought that Xiao Chong, at just twelve years old, had already impressed many of her clan elders?
As expected of Brother Xiao Chong.
While thinking this, Xun'er couldn't help but blush slightly, her hair gently falling as she lowered her head, too shy to look at Xiao Chong. Well, it's said that adults don't hold grudges against children.
'Usually, I can stick to Brother Xiao Chong every day, so I'll let you, little flirt, have your moment for a few days.'
With this thought, Xun'er also showed a confident expression, as if she had already won, and left the hall.
As for what these little girls were thinking, Xiao Chong naturally had no idea. Seeing his mother push him towards Nalan Yanran, Xiao Chong shook his head helplessly and said, "Mother, we will handle our own relationship matters, so don't worry."
However, Gu Xue still looked worried and patted Xiao Chong's head to comfort him.
"Chong'er, you must work hard. Don't just focus on cultivation and farming without thinking about relationships."
"Don't be like your father, who didn't achieve much. It took him several years just to pursue me!"
"After all these years, I'm the only one who took a liking to him, but I believe my Chong'er won't be like that, even just going out will make yanran happy."
"So, work hard. You must make Yanran fall for you."
"Hey!"
Xiao Zhan, who was passing by, immediately looked very hurt.
But everyone present knew that only Xiao's mother had the right to say such things.
Including Nalan Su, everyone understood that as long as Xiao Zhan had Xiao Chong, no one would dare to say a single bad word about him in the latter half of his life.
This is the change brought by a genius child!
After listening to his mother's words, Xiao Chong felt slightly embarrassed.
His mother was a bit like the mothers on Earth, really enthusiastic about matchmaking.
To prevent his mother from continuing, the elders of the Xiao family quickly intervened, using the excuse of needing to attend to some official duties to take the clan leader's wife away.
After Gu Xue was taken away, Nalan Su also stepped forward and cupped his hands in congratulations.
"Congratulations, Brother Xiao Zhan. With such a child, you really have nothing to worry about."
As he said this, there was also a hint of envy in Nalan Su's eyes.
With Nalan Yanran becoming the personal disciple of the Yunlan Sect's leader in recent years, he, as Nalan Yanran's father, had also gained some benefits, and his strength had reached the level of a six-star Dou Ling.
But he was still no match for Xiao Zhan, who was now at the peak of Dou Ling.
Nalan Su remembered that when they met twelve years ago, Xiao Zhan was a whole level below him, but now… well, the more he thought about it, the more envious he became.
In response, Xiao Zhan could only pat Xiao Chong's shoulder, a proud smile on his face.
After chatting casually for a while, Nalan Su looked at the darkening sky outside and cupped his hands.
"Brother Xiao Zhan, it's getting late, so we won't keep you. Yanran still has cultivation matters to attend to at the Yunlan Sect, so we can't stay long. Sorry about that."
"No problem, no problem. Chong'er, see them off."
Xiao Chong nodded and then said, "Father, this time I'll take responsibility for escorting them all the way back to the Jia Ma Imperial Capital."
"After all, the journey is long, and Mr. Nalan doesn't have many people with him. With me around, I'll ensure their safety."
Xiao Zhan thought that Xiao Chong simply wanted to go out for a change of scenery, but he also knew that Xiao Chong's strength was extraordinarily formidable, so he nodded in agreement.
At that moment, Nalan Su's eyes suddenly lit up, as if he had just thought of a brilliant idea.
"Well… I just remembered that I have some other matters to attend to. Yanran, you go ahead and return to the Jia Ma Imperial Capital with Xiao Chong for now."
