Chapter 77: The Out-of-Favor Xiao Clan Quartet

"Come, Father will introduce a little sister to you." Xiao Zhan pulled Xiao Yan over, his words shocking.

Xiao Yan was suddenly stunned for a moment, then hurriedly refused: "Father, I am still a child. Besides, aren't you afraid of Mother finding out?"

His tone was mixed with strangeness, and a hint of a warning.

Had he not expected his father to be this bold? To actually dare to find a girl, and even want to bring him along—you really aren't afraid of death!

If you want to die, don't drag me into it!

Seeing the strange look in Xiao Yan's eyes, Xiao Zhan felt anger welling up and slapped Xiao Yan on the head.

"You brat, how old are you, and you're already starting to think about these flashy, nonsensical things?"

In his heart, however, he was calculating,

"Don't let me find out which bastard dared to corrupt my son, otherwise I will definitely make him regret coming into this world."

It was just that Xiao Zhan did not realize that this was his son "self-taught."

Xiao Yan muttered aggrievedly: "Isn't this what you said yourself?"

"Enough, today a distant cousin of yours has arrived at the Xiao Clan, and she will be living in our home for a period of time. I am taking you three brothers to go meet her."

Afterwards, Xiao Zhan whispered somewhat mysteriously into Xiao Yan's ear: "I'll tell you, your mother really likes that little girl.

If you dare to bully her, hmph hmph~"

Xiao Yan shivered violently. At the thought of Xiao Long in a rage, he immediately promised:

"Don't worry, Father, I will definitely get along well with that cousin."

Xiao Zhan looked at his sensible son with satisfaction. Very good, as long as Xiao Yan didn't cause trouble, then the brothers Xiao Ding, who were already over ten years old, would naturally be no problem.

Very good, Xiao Zhan could already foresee his future happy life.

It was just that he did not know that his youngest son would soon create a big piece of news for him.

"Let's go, let's go find your big brother and second brother, and see how those two boys are doing, and if they are slacking off."

The figures of Xiao Zhan and Xiao Yan drifted further and further away, casting two long shadows in the twilight.

……

"Bang~"

Two youths of thirteen or fourteen years old in the arena were engaged in an intense battle.

Accompanied by a loud noise, the two touched and immediately separated.

A gentle-looking youth dressed in blue quickly formed seals with both hands, and a low shout rang out,

"Vine Binding."

Subsequently, several vines suddenly rose up on the field, shooting rapidly toward the opponent in front of him.

Unsurprisingly, the more robust red-clad youth who was the opponent merely circulated his Dou Qi,

"Thunder Shadow."

Lightning flashed, his figure appearing as if it were transparent, and he easily broke through the area of the vines.

"Good!"

As a familiar voice rang out from outside the arena, Xiao Zhan walked up, while Xiao Yan, following closely behind, looked at his two older brothers with envy.

During the battle just now, Xiao Yan had only seen two streaks of light crossing, unable to see their specific figures at all, while a sense of longing rose in his heart.

"Can I be this strong too?"

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li greeted the two with smiles,

"Father!"

"Oh, little Yan-zi, why did you come over!" Xiao Li acted as if he had seen a rare guest, rubbing Xiao Yan's little head.

This caused Xiao Yan to roll his eyes, his little face still puffed up, looking just like a little pufferfish.

Ever since breaking through to become a Great Dou Master, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li had long since begun training on their own.

And Xiao Yan was not allowed to observe the two brothers' training; after all, he was just a little brat with no strength to truss a chicken, and if he were truly careless, he might have to transmigrate one more time.

Watching the intimate interaction between the three brothers on the field, Xiao Zhan felt very gratified.

These three boys had always had a good relationship. Although Xiao Li was a bit mischievous at times and would tease his little brother Xiao Yan, he took very good care of him.

It was just that they often caused trouble out of mischief, such as peeking at little girls bathing, but they perfectly illustrated what it meant to share the burden—together accepting the loving education of Xiao Long.

"Alright, Li-er,"

In the end, Xiao Zhan called out to Xiao Li, who was about to continue wreaking havoc on Xiao Yan's head, "Today, Father came over because there is serious business to tell you all."

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li both straightened their expressions; since it required their father to come in person, the matter must not be small.

"Don't be so serious," Xiao Zhan said, unable to laugh or cry when he saw their formal appearance,

"It's just to have you go see your mother."

Currently, Xiao Ding and his brother often did not live at home, spending most of their time in the training room, so today Xiao Zhan had specifically called them over.

"Hmm?" Xiao Ding and his brother looked at each other suspiciously, and finally, Xiao Ding, as the eldest brother, said rather hesitantly:

"Father, did you make Mother angry again?"

"Hey, you children, is your father really so unbearable in your hearts?"

Xiao Zhan said with some heartache.

The three Xiao brothers: "Yes."

How they had once admired their powerful father!

However, after Xiao Zhan had repeatedly pushed them out as shields, they had thoroughly understood what "low status" meant in the family.

In front of Xiao Long, Xiao Zhan was just a little brother! They hadn't seen any strength from him at all.

Seeing the three's gazes, Xiao Zhan only felt...

Forget it, what else could he do?

The men of their Xiao Clan being afraid of their wives is not a one- or two-day affair; it is a family trait, nothing to be ashamed of.

Even though the old Great-Uncle is a Dou Sheng powerhouse, isn't he still kept perfectly in line by his senior!

Finally, Xiao Yan took the initiative to relieve Xiao Zhan of his predicament and explained the reason.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li naturally had no objections.

After all, having an extra younger sister is not bad; perhaps one day if they offend Mother, she could help plead for them.

Now, little Xiao Yan is starting to become sensible, no longer letting himself be manipulated as before; he is not cute at all.

Look, another one has come, hasn't she?

However, at the dinner table, they knew they had ultimately been mistaken.

"Xun Er, come try this; this was made for you personally by Aunt Long..."

The Xiao Clan's "Gang of Four" watched Xiao Long, who was continuously feeding Xiao Xun Er, with expressionless faces, their hearts bleeding.

"Why have I never received such treatment!" the four of them shouted in unison in their hearts.

"Thank you, Aunt Long," little Xiao Xun Er replied softly and sweetly.

"Oh my," hearing this, Xiao Long's heart was about to melt, and the smile on her face grew even more intense.

"Then Xun Er, eat more, okay!" Xiao Long stroked Xiao Xun Er's little head, looking at her face that still appeared pale, and said regretfully,

"Why is this child's health so poor? Should I get Xiao Xun Er some good things to nourish her body?"

"Crack~"

The four of them had entered a petrified state. Seeing this uncharacteristic behavior from Xiao Long, everyone's thoughts flew in all directions for a moment.

"Hmm, this must be what is known as a split personality in medicine!" Xiao Yan silently attempted to explain this abnormal scene using science in his heart.

"Could it be that my wife has been possessed?" Xiao Zhan pondered with a stern expression; his thoughts were indeed on the metaphysical side.

Xiao Ding and Xiao Li: "Sure enough, we aren't her biological children, are we!" (Cut!)

"Hmm?" Seeing Xiao Zhan and the other three frozen there, not even moving their chopsticks, Xiao Long's expression darkened.

"What, is it not good? Hmm?"

"No, no, it is very good, Wife (Mother)."

Then, it was a scene of intense, bustling eating.

"Don't grab, Big Brother..."

"Hey, leave me a bite!" This was Xiao Yan's voice.

"A bunch of brats, get out of my way."

Xiao Xun Er looked up at the four "eaters" with a somewhat dazed and cute expression, several question marks appearing above her head.

Seeing Xiao Xun Er's naive and adorable appearance, Xiao Long's maternal instincts erupted once again.

"Come, Xun Er, let's keep eating!"

"Mm, thank you, Aunt Long!"
