My move was truly unexpected; the four people in the private room were all extremely surprised. Aunt Deng quickly stood up to greet me.

As they walked, they said, "Oh dear, child, why are you bowing so formally? Get up and take a seat. It's just a casual meal today, and there are no outsiders here."

Seeing Old Huang and Daoist Yunhe behind me, Elder Wu quickly stood up in response.

Regardless of the other party's identity, no one dared to boast about their superior cultivation level, which was genuine and undeniable.

The two younger ones are probably the children of the two older relatives.

Without being coy, I stood up with Aunt Deng's help and invited Old Huang and Daoist Yunhe to sit down and eat.

To save face for me, the two of them insisted on not sitting at the main table, but instead took two bottles of good wine, some snacks, and went to a small table on the side to drink.

Senior Wu felt a little embarrassed by the way the two were behaving. To be treated like this by two Grandmasters of the Fourth Realm...

He was being a bit dismissive of me, and the two of them expressed their dissatisfaction through their actions.

Fortunately, I didn't say anything, so he wasn't too passive.

He initially thought I was just a junior with some ability, and it just so happened that the cultivation technique I handed over helped his wife.

So it's already a huge favor that he even asked me to come see him and lend me his support.

I had heard before that I had a Grandmaster of the Fourth Realm by my side, but he thought he was just hired to protect me. He never expected that Old Huang would actually act like an old servant.

These are two different things, because the tasks they can perform are different, even though the first step went wrong.

But Aunt Deng and I are indeed from the same school, and if you count, we should be senior and junior brothers, since our master is of the same generation.

Aunt Deng could also see her husband's predicament, but she didn't say anything.

Because they hadn't done anything wrong before I walked in, it was just that the standard of service was a bit low.

I've been a little disrespectful to these two equally powerful individuals. Aunt Deng then began introducing me to the people in the private room.

He said, "I am Deng Youran, a disciple of Master He Qiufang of the Linggui Sect. We are of the same generation as our masters."

So I'm kind of your senior sister. I was tricked and my spirit was scattered back then, and I've been recuperating for all these years.

However, a while ago, the sect passed on a secret manual to me, which allowed me to recover from my injuries. I heard that you developed this manual and submitted it to the sect.

I happened to hear that you were coming to Qilian Prefecture, so I asked my husband to find you here so I could thank you in person.

After speaking, he turned and glanced at Senior Wu, his eyes filled with love.

I forced down this mouthful of dog food and continued listening to Aunt Deng introduce her husband, pointing to him as she said, "This is my husband, Wu Zhizhuan, the chief instructor of the Armed Police Corps of the Qilian Prefecture Public Security System."

Then, pointing to two younger men, he said, "These are our two sons, Wu Wenhan and Wu Wenbin. They also work in the Armed Police Force."

She spoke of her two sons with a certain amount of pride, and her two older brothers greeted me very politely.

They already had a good impression of me, and it was because of me that their mother was able to recover from her injuries.

No longer needing to suffer from pain, and the demeanor of the two Grandmasters of the Fourth Realm, Lao Huang and Daoist Yunhe, also greatly impressed them, so they treated me very politely without any neglect.

Looking at this family in front of me, I was quite envious of their good family atmosphere.

A loving mother and filial son, a dignified father, and a very upright family tradition—one can feel at ease interacting with such a family. This is the epitome of a proper Chinese family.
