3 days later—
Within the Huangfu Sacred Dynasty, near Falling Star City and the small town of Wangyue—
Tan Yun rode atop the Golden Dragon-Lion, circling high above Wangyue Town as he looked down at his homeland.
His star-like eyes shimmered with deep emotion.
“After so many years… I wonder how Father, Mother, and Grandfather are doing. I’ve truly been unfilial…” he murmured.
Suddenly—
The Golden Dragon-Lion dove from the sky!
It came to a halt, hovering above the Tan Family Estate.
“Ahhh! Master—there’s a monster!”
A maid sweeping the courtyard screamed in terror, dropping her broom and running for her life!
Her scream was piercing.
When over 100 servants in the estate looked up—
They saw a 100-zhang-tall golden lion, baring its teeth… almost like it was smiling like a human!
Panic erupted instantly!
Seeing this, Tan Yun sighed.
“Da Huang, I know you recognize them… but your current form is too different. You’ll scare them to death.”
“Roar…”
The Golden Dragon-Lion let out a low growl, its eyes showing a hint of guilt.
“Who dares cause trouble in my Tan Family?!”
An old man’s powerful voice rang out.
“Do you not know that my grandson, Tan Changchun, is a disciple of an ancient sect?!”
Tan Yun looked down—
And saw Tan Changchun, still vigorous despite his age, stepping into the courtyard.
Behind him—
His father, Tan Feng, and mother, Feng Jingru, also appeared, their expressions serious.
Tan Feng was nearly 50 years old, while Feng Jingru was 40.
Because of years spent managing the household, strands of white had already appeared at her temples.
Behind the three of them—
Guards holding spears looked up at the Golden Dragon-Lion in fear.
Everyone in the Tan Family was confused.
News of Tan Yun becoming a disciple of an ancient sect had spread thousands of li.
Over the past few years, powerful figures from nearby cities had come to visit.
But who would have thought—
Someone would actually dare cause trouble at the Tan Estate?
Whoosh!
A figure leapt down from the Golden Dragon-Lion.
In the next instant—
Tan Yun dropped to his knees before Tan Changchun, Tan Feng, and Feng Jingru, bowing deeply.
“This unfilial grandson, Tan Yun… greets Grandfather, Father, and Mother!”
The moment they heard this—
All three trembled!
At the same time—
The 100+ servants and guards burst into joyful cries!
“Young Master is back!”
“Master Tan Yun has returned home!”
“This is wonderful—Young Master is finally back!”
Feng Jingru’s tears streamed down her face as she rushed forward, embracing Tan Yun tightly while he was still kneeling.
“Yun’er! My son! You’ve finally come back to me!”
“Mother!”
Tan Yun hugged her tightly.
Reunited at last—
Both mother and son were in tears.
“My dear, Yun’er has returned. This is a happy occasion—why are you crying?” Tan Feng said.
Yet… his own eyes were red as well.
“Indeed!” Tan Changchun added, tears flowing down his face.
He was proud—
To have such a grandson.
One who lived up to the expectations of the Tan ancestors!
Feng Jingru wiped her tears, helped Tan Yun to his feet, then turned to her husband.
“Husband, Yun’er has returned. We must hold a grand banquet to welcome him!”
“Good! Excellent!”
Tan Feng immediately turned to the steward—
Ordering preparations for a grand feast,
To celebrate for 3 days and 3 nights!
“Grandfather, Father, Mother—”
Tan Yun smiled.
“I’d like to introduce 2 people to you.”
At that moment—
The Golden Dragon-Lion in the sky suddenly shrank down to just 10 zhang.
Carrying Zhong Wu Shiyao and Mu Mengyi—
It slowly descended into the courtyard…
The guards stared at the two young women, their eyes wide in shock—
Beautiful… far too beautiful!
Their beauty was no less than **Nangong Yuqin**, the young lady who had been gone for over **4 years**!
“Greetings, Grandfather.”
“Greetings, Uncle, Aunt.”
**Mu Mengyi** and **Zhong Wu Shiyao** bowed gracefully, their voices soft and gentle.
“Such good girls… and so beautiful…”
Feng Jingru said with a warm smile, her face full of affection.
“Mother, this is Mu Mengyi. And this is Zhong Wu Shiyao. The two of them… are your future daughters-in-law,”
Tan Yun said with a smile.
The moment they heard the words “daughters-in-law”—
Both girls pressed their lips together slightly, their cheeks flushing red.
But in Feng Jingru’s heart… something stirred.
She suddenly thought of **Nangong Yuqin**.
If that wretched old man hadn’t taken her away…
perhaps by now, she would already be holding grandchildren…
Feng Jingru shook off the thought and stepped forward.
With one hand, she held Mu Mengyi’s; with the other, Zhong Wu Shiyao’s.
Then she said sincerely—
“My dear girls… where do you come from? If you’re going to marry, it’s best to do it sooner rather than later.”
Tan Yun froze for a moment.
He didn’t expect his mother to be this “eager.”
“Mother, there’s no need to rush marriage. We can talk about it later,”
he chuckled softly.
“How can I not rush? Or do you want things to turn out like before—”
Feng Jingru almost let it slip—
But she quickly stopped herself!
“Like before? What do you mean?”
Tan Yun asked, confused.
“It’s nothing! I just want to hold grandchildren sooner!”
Feng Jingru glared at him playfully.
Then she pulled the two girls toward the pavilion ahead.
“Come, Auntie has something for you.”
Tan Yun laughed.
“So now that you have daughters-in-law, you’ve forgotten your son?”
With that, he followed along—together with his grandfather and father.
---
Outside—
The steward announced that all guards could bring their families to the estate.
A grand feast would be held for **3 full days**!
And everyone would get **3 days off**!
The guards were overjoyed, almost going mad with excitement, as they rushed out of the estate!
---
Inside the main hall—
Feng Jingru took out **2 identical emerald jade bracelets**.
She gave **1** to Mu Mengyi
and **1** to Zhong Wu Shiyao.
Once they put them on—
Feng Jingru smiled with satisfaction.
“These are heirloom jade bracelets of the Tan Family. I prepared them for my future daughters-in-law.”
“I don’t have anything too precious… I hope you won’t mind.”
When the two girls understood the meaning behind the bracelets—
Their hearts felt as sweet as honey.
---
After that—
Feng Jingru asked about their backgrounds.
Tan Yun raised a **soundproof barrier**, then told his parents and grandfather the truth—
That Mu Mengyi was the **Princess of the Mu Feng Sacred Dynasty**,
and that Zhong Wu Shiyao had been abandoned by her biological parents since childhood.
Upon hearing this—
Feng Jingru, Tan Feng, and Tan Changchun were all shocked.
Especially Mu Mengyi—
Her status was far more noble than they had imagined!
But what moved them even more—
Was Zhong Wu Shiyao’s story.
The way they looked at her… was filled with deep compassion.
First—pity for her fate.
Second—it reminded them of **Nangong Yuqin**, their adopted daughter.
The phrase “once bitten, twice shy” described their feelings perfectly.
They were afraid…
Afraid that one day—
Zhong Wu Shiyao’s real parents might come and take her away as well.
Even if the possibility was extremely small—
That worry still lingered in their hearts.
---
By the time dinner arrived—
Tan Yun chatted warmly with his family.
Of course—
He only shared the good news.
He spoke of how well he was doing in the sect,
not mentioning any of the dangers at all.
When Feng Jingru and the others learned that—
Zhong Wu Shiyao and Tan Yun had both reached **Level 9**,
and Mu Mengyi had reached the **Great Perfection of the Nascent Soul Realm**—
The three of them were completely stunned!
To them—
The **Nascent Soul Realm** was a level where one could fly on swords,
A realm they had dreamed of reaching their entire lives!
