“Brother, Mother and Aunt are here.”
The siblings Feng Yinyu and Feng Yinyan were already present, so they were the first to rush over.
Others from the Feng Clan followed behind them.
Upon arrival, they cast confused glances at Su Chun. As the two siblings drew closer, they suddenly realized that their aunt seemed different than before.
“Greetings, Aunt.”
“Greetings, Madam.”
Tantai Qing’s status within the Feng Clan was essentially equivalent to the wife of the current Family Head.
This was because Feng Qingxuan was roughly the same age as Tantai Xuan.
Tantai Qing herself was only a few years apart in age from Su Chun’s fourth aunt, Tantai Yu.
Furthermore, since Feng Qingxuan’s father had mostly retired from clan affairs, the family business was managed by Feng Qingxuan and Tantai Qing.
“Mother, why have you come to a place like this?”
Feng Yinyu asked curiously.
This question clearly displeased Tantai Qing.
She placed her hands on her hips.
“Yuer, you make it sound as if your mother is incredibly old. Have you forgotten? I am not even 1,000 years old yet. I am still a few dozen years away from reaching 1,000.”
The members of the Feng Family were momentarily stunned, their minds filled with questions. However, they quickly realized her intent.
“No way… Mother, are you here to fight?”
Tantai Qing nodded.
“Why else would I be here?”
The Feng Family members were speechless.
It was only then that the siblings, Feng Yinyu and Feng Yinyan, turned their attention to Su Chun.
“That’s strange. Aunt, has your Bloodline Conflict been resolved? You seem… different.”
Su Chun immediately released her aura.
A golden rune flew out from within her body, hovering above her head.
“The Spirit Wheel Realm? Aunt, you didn’t just solve your bloodline issue, you went from being a mortal to a Spirit Wheel Realm cultivator?”
The two were greatly shocked.
“Yes, the effects of the Chaos Spring Water were quite surprising,” Su Chun replied.
Upon hearing this, the siblings could not help but feel a twinge of regret.
“If we had known the Chaos Spring Water was that effective, we should have gone with Mother. We might have even broken through to the Four Poles Realm.”
As the groups conversed, more people arrived.
This time, it was a group of men and women dressed in water-blue robes.
The women were gentle and beautiful, while the men were refined and handsome.
“Eighth Sister, Ninth Sister, it has been a while. You have both come as well.”
Su Chun looked at the newcomers, feeling momentarily dazed.
“Big Brother, Second Brother… you are all here too.”
Luo Yu immediately gave the refined young man in the lead a big hug.
The newcomers were from the Tianshui Luo Family.
The leader was the eldest brother of Luo Li and Luo Yu, a man named Luo Xi who was a Shenxiao Realm cultivator.
The family had not seen each other for at least several months, so they naturally had much to discuss.
However, they could not neglect the others present.
“Alright now, you are already married, yet you still act so childish. Little Chun, your Bloodline Conflict has been resolved, hasn’t it?”
Su Chun had no idea who these people were, knowing only that they seemed to be from the Tianshui Luo Family.
Consequently, she could only look at them with a forced, awkward smile.
*Cough, cough!*
“Big Brother, three months ago, Husband lost a portion of her memories due to the Bloodline Conflict.
She currently does not recognize anyone. I will have to introduce all of you to her again,” Luo Li explained.
Luo Xi and the others looked completely bewildered upon hearing this.
“Um, yes… Big Brother, please don’t take offense. I really can’t tell who is who right now,” Su Chun added.
Luo Xi exchanged looks with his brothers and sisters before letting out a helpless laugh.
“Fine then. Eighth Sister, take your time introducing everyone to Little Chun.”
After saying that, he turned his gaze toward Tantai Qing.
“Miss Qing, it has been a long time.”
Seeing Luo Xi greet her, Tantai Qing’s behavior suddenly became peculiar.
She walked around Luo Xi, inspecting him from head to toe.
“How strange. Luo Xi, where is your wife? Don’t tell me you aren’t married yet?”
Luo Xi was instantly embarrassed by the question.
“Well… not yet.”
Tantai Qing let out a heavy sigh and patted Luo Xi on the shoulder.
“Luo Xi, you aren’t getting any younger. You are only a few dozen years younger than me. You should find a wife to carry on the Luo Family line. Look at me, I already have two children.”
Tantai Qing spoke with absolute seriousness.
Luo Xi’s face turned red for some reason, and he struggled to find a response.
“My heart is no longer set on romantic entanglements. As for carrying on the family line, I shall leave that to the others.”
Seeing Tantai Qing and Luo Xi acting so familiar with one another, some members of the Luo Family began to whisper quietly.
“Strange. Why do I feel like there is something odd between Big Brother and Miss Qing?”
“Ahem! You wouldn’t know, would you? Let me tell you, before Miss Qing was married, our family actually proposed a match to her for Big Brother. Big Brother fell in love with Miss Qing at first sight. However… Miss Qing thought Big Brother was too young and rejected him. After he went home, he was so heartbroken he couldn’t eat or sleep.”
One of the insiders explained the situation.
“Huh? I never would have guessed. Even though Miss Qing must have been a great beauty in her youth—well, actually, no one in the Tantai Family is ugly, and Miss Qing is still very beautiful now—but surely not to the point of love at first sight?”
One of Luo Xi’s sisters asked in surprise.
“Beauty was only part of it; it was mainly her personality. When Miss Qing was young, she was loved by everyone. She got along with everyone…”
Under Luo Li’s introduction, Su Chun quickly memorized everyone’s identities.
Since she had become a cultivator and possessed Divine Sense, her memory was quite sharp.
In a short time, she had integrated into the group from the Luo Family.
To the Luo Family, although Su Chun was a woman, in their eyes, she was simply a man in a woman’s skin.
This perception was a result of the long-standing relationship between the two families.
“Alright, alright, let’s go. We can chat while we watch the battles,” Tantai Qing said after finishing her trip down memory lane with Luo Xi.
She ushered everyone toward the fighting.
“Hey, Aunt. Did my mother torment you on the way here?”
Feng Yinyu leaned in and whispered to Su Chun.
Su Chun blinked in surprise.
“What? Does my sister usually torment people at home?”
Feng Yinyu became visibly excited at the question, though she tried to keep her movements subtle.
“I was almost smothered by her when I was little. I’m telling you, my mother is famously clingy in the clan. If you don’t want to be stuck to her, you have to give her the cold shoulder. Just be cold for a while and she’ll stop.”
Feng Yinyu shared her hard-earned experience.
As they reached the edge of the viewing platform, Su Chun’s attention was drawn to the combat in the arena.
On the blood-colored battlefield, two cultivators were locked in a fierce struggle at the center.
On the left was a young man clad in fiery red scale armor.
Every punch he threw carried a wave of scorching heat. On the right was a female cultivator in white. She transformed into ten thousand sword shadows, her sword light pouring down like a waterfall as she clashed violently with her opponent.
Both of them were at the Four Poles Realm.
Their methods were ruthless, clearly indicating a life-or-death struggle.
“Husband, that is Yan Fentian of the Flame Tribe and Xie Lingshuang of the Sword Domain,” Luo Li introduced in a low voice.
Su Chun did not speak. Instead, she watched the battle intently.
Her eyes began to change involuntarily, the golden and purple hues merging rapidly to become a pair of starry-sky colored eyes.
Through these eyes, she discovered that the battlefield was covered by complex laws, along with a massive number of restrictions and formation runes.
While the two fought, their bodies emitted a unique aura that was being absorbed by the battlefield’s restrictions and formations.
Soon, a violent explosion of energy erupted from the center of the arena.
Yan Fentian condensed his entire body’s blood and qi, transforming it into a hundred-fathom-long flame dragon.
Meanwhile, Xie Lingshuang achieved the union of man and sword, turning into a brilliant galaxy of stars.
At the moment the two forces collided, a man in white robes stepped out from among the numerous remnant souls.
“Look! Someone triggered it! Xie Lingshuang has triggered the remnant soul of a genius on the battlefield!”
The cultivators on the viewing platform cried out in shock.
The white-robed man stood with his hands behind his back, a broken, ancient longsword hanging from his waist.
Even though he was merely a projection of a remnant soul, his presence caused all sword-type weapons in the area to vibrate rhythmically.
He was likely a genius swordsman from the Immortal Ancient Period, drawn out by Xie Lingshuang’s sword intent.
Soon after, he transformed into a streak of sword light and merged into Xie Lingshuang’s body.
In the next instant, as if she had gained a sudden realization, the intensity of Xie Lingshuang’s sword intent skyrocketed.
The battle, which had been a stalemate, was instantly reversed.
Yan Fentian’s fire spirit was pierced through by Xie Lingshuang’s sword qi.
He let out a muffled groan, coughed up a mouthful of blood, and his aura withered away.
“My apologies. Thank you for the match.”
Xie Lingshuang stood with her sword sheathed.
A sword mark had appeared between her brows; she had obtained the inheritance of an Immortal Ancient genius.
“Dammit! Why did no one choose me? How am I inferior to her?”
Yan Fentian cast an unwilling glance at the projections of the remnant souls.
Unfortunately, nothing here was within his control.
He could only retreat from the field.
