Obviously whilst she was away, her son had already went somewhere else and either made a name for himself or become good friends with someone with a super background…

Or lastly, maybe he had been doted upon by a strong expert…

​​

Anyhow it was, she was still proud…

"Mother!?" The dressed Min Qing came out and rushed over to hug Min Rou…

"~Hnmm~ Qing'er, I am still ever so glad you both made it out, but more importantly how you have stepped up to take care of Hong'er for me, I hope this goes on forever…"

Min Qing blushed bashfully as she sneaked a peek at Min Hong who had finally gotten rid of the formation he had placed within the room before they embarked on the journey to the mysterious island beneath Min Qing…

Seemingly sensing they were talking about him, he turned around to take a look at the ladies only to find Min Qing quickly bury her face in Min Rou's motherly bosom, but he still got the hint of what was going on due to the redness on Min Qing's neck…

Knock! Knock!

Just as Min Hong completely got rid of the formation, the reunited family heard two soft knocks on their door as Min Hong simply opened the door with his mind as a pretty, innocent, beautiful and kind-hearted looking Qing Tan stepped in, followed by Mu Li and Mu Bai, then Kun Lin and Kun Chao and then finally Long Sha…

But just as they were all about to begin their conversation, they noticed the presence of another figure within the room and they all looked over in both surprise and curiosity…

"Oh! And who might this lovely lady be, Lord Fei Hong!?"

Kun Chao teased as he boldly walked over to take Min Rou's hand before respectfully planting a kiss behind her palm as Min Rou laughed cheekily before responding;

"I am Fei Qing's aunt… I was passing by and I heard my sweet nephew and niece were close by, so I decided to pay a visit…"

"I am Fei Rou, nice to meet you all…"

Min Rou smartly took the awkwardness off Min Hong who had never thought of how he was going to introduce her to his friends when they finally met, but she was experienced and smarter, so she had already made a contingency plan for it.

"Hi, aunt Rou, I am Qing Tan, Fei Qing's surrogate sister…"

"I am Kun Lin, and don't mind my shameless brother, he is Kun Chao and really fond of hitting on anything that wears a skirt around here…"

Kun Lin didn't know what to call herself after Qing Tan's form of addressing her relationship with Min Qing, so she smartly covered it up by painting her mischievous but silent brother more mischievous than normal…

"These are the Mu twins and they are very close friends of mine…"

Min Hong took the initiative to do the introduction so as to prevent more awkward moment as Mu Bai gave a sigh of relief and a thankful nod at Min Hong…

"…Then finally, we have Long Sha, my first friend since I arrived, also my benefactor and the heir to the Long Super Clan…"

Min Rou heard everything and nodded at them with a smile but when she heard the last form of address Min Hong used to introduce Long Sha, she looked over to her son with an inquisitive gaze and Min Hong nodded as if confirming her suspicions...

Min Rou's eyes abruptly widened in shock before she walked over to Long Sha before giving pretending to give him a respectful bow, and just as expected, Long Sha rushed forward to stop her as he awkwardly urged;

"There is no need for that aunt Rou… Status means nothing here and it is one code of conduct I would love to live by…"

Long Sha smartly directed the statement accusingly at Min Hong, but respectfully at Min Rou before stepping aside since the introduction session had ended, all that is left for them to do, is to familiarize themselves with Min Rou for as long as she was going to be staying with them…

Kun Lin pinched her brother along with a death glare after she noticed he was still sizing Min Rou up, and it was not his fault because, even when Min Rou was in her thirties, her body was radiating maturity and calmness of a sensible woman which attracted men alike...

But now that she was in the body of an elven bloodline which looked to be in its early twenties, and coupled with the aura emanating from her medusa spirit ring, it wouldn't be strange to figure out why these teens all had slightly rosy cheeks, and why even Kun Lin was feeling slightly inferior due to the gap in every traits that defines a damsel or lady amongst them…

"Huhu… You all should continue with your activities as usual and don't mind my presence, but if you need anything, feel free to find me…"

Min Rou smiled at them and warmed up the atmosphere to make them feel more comfortable around her…

"You never told me you had a hot aunt, I would have become friends with you much sooner…"

"So, Fei Hong as a member of the family, would you mind-"

Smack!

"Get your lewd face out of here, you pervert!"

Kun Lin gave Kun Chao a hard slap in the back of the head when she realised that he was trying to have Min Hong help him nail his aunt, but Min Hong just smiled and laughed in relief at how smoothly everything turned out to be…

Though, parents and family members don't visit their siblings whilst they are within the sect, it was not prohibited either...

Thus, Min Hong wasn't bothered about how the Sect Elders would take it, especially the Enforcement Hall, but even at that, he still wasn't bothered because, there is hardly anyone within the Outer and Inner Sect who could pose a problem to him, after all, he had just mopped the desert floor with the butts of four grand elders of the sect not too long ago…

He gave the team a little time to get together and catch up with themselves because, though they might be staying very close to one another, they have all been busy cultivating because of the War God Challenge they were about to take...

The rest of them were also preparing for life within the inner court, after all, there is a minimum level of cultivation an inner court disciple must possess to avoid being bullied and being a burden to their backer, hence, they have all just been able to really hangout since Min Hong requested for his seven day rest…

"Speaking of a week rest, Fei Hong hope you guys rested well this week?" Mu Li cheekily asked…

He had always been suspecting that Min Hong and Min Qing were more than just siblings and though, they had figured it out when they both took that long walk back then, but they could still deny it because they did nothing too embarrassing for them to see, hence his cheeky question...

Then just like as if they had planned it before, everyone in the room turned their curious attention towards the duo…

Min Hong didn't fret about the abrupt cheeky question, rather he praised Mu Li's information gathering techniques and commended himself for giving him a suitable role, but Min Qing gave a subtle hint with her slightly rosy cheek and as everyone's gaze was about to land on her to discover the entire secret;

Crash! Clang! Boink!

Several crashing and clattering sounds echoed from the side as Min Rou pretended to slip and throw away the kitchenettes she was carrying as the pandemonium drew everyone's attention before they could land on the embarrassed Min Qing…
