5 Chapter 4

— Hello, Xuanyin, — my mother said, approaching the adult woman.

— Long time no see, Shuyun-er, — the woman said in response, putting her daughter on the ground and raising her hands.

    Having reached each other, they... hugged each other in a friendly manner? They had a fairly close relationship, and in my opinion the hug was too tight. But maybe they haven't seen each other for a long time. Yes, that's probably true.

— Who is this with you? — the woman asked, looking in my direction.

— I'm Long Shen, — I said, raising my hand. — Mom's son.

— Oh, how cute, — she said, already approaching me, and took me by the cheek. — God, he's your copy of Shuyun-er.

— Ha, look who`s talking, — my mother rolled her eyes, then looked at me. — Son, this is Gu Xuanyin, the wife of the patriarch of the Gu Clan and my closest friend...

— Your only one...

— Yes, yes, — the mother rolled her eyes again, continuing to speak. — And this is her daughter, the heiress of the clan.

— Introduce yourself, dear, — Gu Xuanyin said to her daughter.

— I-I'm Gu Lan, — said the sweet girl who hid behind her mother's robe.

— I'm telling you, she looks a lot like you. You also hid when I met you, — my mother said to her friend with a grin.

— Tch, don't be afraid honey, go meet him, he won't bite, he clearly looks better than his mother, — Gu Xuanyin said to her daughter.

— I don't remember that you rejected my 'bites,' — Mom said, raising an eyebrow.

— Y-you, — the blushing woman pointed out. — Not in front of children.

— Okay, okay, they still won't understand anything, — my mother brushed off her friend's words.

— ... — I stared at this scene with my mouth open.

    What is it? Yuri? They seem to have husbands... This clearly did not happen in the light novel.

— H-hello, — a little girl came up to me.

— Hello, I'm Long Shen, — he decided to repeat his name to her.

— U-hum,— she nodded quickly.

— Are you really the daughter of the Patriarch? — I decided to start a dialogue, already having experience in talking with children.

— Y-yes, my dad is a patriarch and he is very strong, — she said, already smiling. — And you?

— Well, my mother said that I don't have a father, she "did everything" by herself, — I told her, rolling my eyes a little.

— Hmm, strange, my mother said that in order to have a child, you need a mom and dad, — she said, tilting her head slightly.

— My mom is just very strong, — he gave her a vague answer. — What do you like to do at home?

— I love watching my mother practice with swords, — she said joyfully, then remained silent for a moment and added. — I can even repeat some of the movements.

    Then from somewhere she pulled out a sword that was larger than her.

— Here, look, — and began to try to copy the movements that she saw.

    Despite her childish body. This... It looked strong and graceful. Sometimes I forget that this is a cultivation world, not an ordinary world. Even a child like her can already wield a sword quite well, which is also larger than her. Dao of the Sword or whatever it was said?

— It was beautiful, — I say without lying.

    If what she said is true, then the movements that she is now performing were observed, but not taught by someone. Is this natural talent? It was mentioned in the work that she seemed to be the one who taught her brother, the future expert of the Martial Ancestor Realm, the art of the sword. If it weren't for her illness, I think she would have easily surpassed him and probably would have even had a chance to go to the Land of the Ancestral Gods.

    I will try to correct her fate... I would also like to understand what time line this is.

3 years later

    If anyone were to look at the Dragon Seal Family's estate now, they would see a bunch of people currently running around the estate. And in the background you could hear a pleasant sound.

— AAAARRRRRHHH, — someone's roar was heard. — WHY THE FUCK DOES IT HURT SO MUCH?

    If people looked into a certain room, they would see an adult woman with a strong aura holding another woman who looked like her in her arms.

— Breathe, Shuyun, breathe, — said the woman holding the other in a tight vice.

— WHY DOES IT HURT MORE THIS TIME??? — Long Shuyun roared. — I WILL KILL HIM, WHERE IS THIS FREAK?

— Shuyun, — the screaming mother said seriously. — He died, his heart stopped yesterday.

— ... — the roar stopped for a moment, but only for a moment. — AHAHA THAT'S JUST FOR THE FREAK, YOU DAMN TRASH.

— AAARRRRHHHH — she started to roar again. — DAMN PAIN.

    While this scene was happening, a young boy who looked to be about eight years old was sitting in front of the door, listening to what was happening.

— Finally, the time has come, — I said, looking at the running people.

    A lot of time has passed since I met my friend Gu Lan, who literally a month later became my fiancée. This was a very strange decision in my opinion. Our mothers saw that Gu Lan and I were friends and therefore decided to make us even closer.

    The first familiar characters from the light novel also began to appear. A year ago, Elder Min Fei "adopted" a child named Xiao Yu, when this information leaked to the sect, Aunt Xie looked at me strangely.

Heh.

    The Gu clan also had new additions. A month ago, Gu Lan had a brother, whom they decided to name Gu Bei. And of course our family. I still haven't seen my father in person. Before this, some servants said that he was working somewhere behind the sect and could not visit me. But I knew the reason. I remember a year ago, Mom somehow left the sect and returned about fifteen minutes later. I didn't attach much importance to her leaving; she had left before and for longer periods. And the result of these fifteen minutes was the appearance of my younger sister so quickly. They didn't even bring him here, although knowing his mother's attitude towards him, it's understandable.

    It's not that I miss him. I just would like to see him at least once so that I would understand what he is like. I can live without my father's supervision, but what about my sister? In the light novel, it seems he managed to live with her and only died a little later.

    By the way, what about my sister?

— Push, lady, push. Left just a little bit

— Forward, forward, lady, forward, forward.

— I was waiting for a girl, hurray!

— Kya, I can already see how beautiful the young master's sister will be.

— WHO LET THESE SERVANTS LET IN AGAIN?? — the familiar bloody woman started screaming again.

— AAAAARHHHHH — a roar was heard. — GET OUT ALREADY!!!

— ARRRRRHHHH... — the roar stopped.

There was tense silence for a second, but soon a sound was heard.

— AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA, — a familiar sound was heard.

    The boy who was listening to what was happening smiled when he heard the scream.

— Well, hello, sister!

Ding

— A?
