Xing Tian agreed, but the others did not, especially Shang Lin's servants. They glared at him angrily, as if they would pounce on him and tear him apart if he made the slightest move.

Xing Tian was genuinely intimidated by everyone's imposing presence and instinctively took several steps back, distancing himself from Shang Lin. This feeling of fear hadn't been felt since his first encounter with Ji Xiaoyao.

For more than a year afterward, everyone got along harmoniously. Was I just too complacent? I forgot that each of these guys was more capable than me, and that I could tear them apart in a matter of minutes.

Shang Lin immediately frowned and said, "What are you all doing? Tone down your aura! Don't you know there's a baby here? Do you want to hurt her?"

The surrounding aura vanished instantly. Hu Tangdi looked down at the baby, instinctively shaking him gently, but said, "Even the sect leader can't..."

Shang Lin immediately looked over, and Hu Tangdi instantly shut up. When their sect leader didn't speak but just looked at you, it felt like being stared at by a ferocious wild beast. It had happened once before, and this time it was even worse.

Shang Lin then looked at Xing Tian and reached out his hand, "Come here."

He then said to the others, "You should all go back, so as not to disturb Madam's rest."

This group naturally did not include Hu Tangdi, who was holding a child. Besides, she was already a public figure, so she naturally wouldn't go back to the Dragon Spirit Tower with everyone. As for "Old Man Chai," he could only go outside.

Xing Tian looked at Shang Lin, then at the hand Shang Lin was extending towards him, hesitated for a moment before coming over, "Sect Master..."

Shang Lin didn't give Xing Tian a chance to continue speaking. His fingertips touched Xing Tian's fingertips, and then Xing Tian's soul seemed to be sucked in by something, disappearing little by little into Shang Lin's body.

Hu Tangdi was startled and inexplicably felt that their sect leader was a bit—frightening.

Xing Tian, ​​who had been without a body for over a year, suddenly had one again. It felt incredibly unreal and heavy, and he couldn't process it for a while. If Shang Lin hadn't been in this body, he probably would have fallen over.

Once he had fully adjusted to his body, Xing Tian went to see the baby. He was so moved by just one glance that he almost cried, but considering it was the sect leader's body, he tried his best to hold back.

Xing Tian reached out and carefully took the baby from Hu Tangdi's arms. The child, who had been sleeping, seemed to wake up and, as if sensing something, burst into tears.

The crying was so loud that it woke up Xing's mother, who was asleep. Xing Tian stood there helplessly, like a child who had made a mistake, completely unsure of what to do.

Upon seeing this, Xing's mother immediately smiled and said, "Xiao Hu, quickly bring the child to me. Xiao Shang looks like he's about to cry."

Hu Tangdi reached out, but "Xing Tian" carried the child to the mother and slowly placed the child in her arms. Clearly, none of these people were as professional as Xing's mother in holding the child.

As soon as Xing's mother picked up her daughter, she gently rocked her, and the child stopped crying in no time—it was truly miraculous.

Seeing her daughter quiet down, Mrs. Xing immediately smiled, "My good boy, you recognize your mother at such a young age! Oh my, my daughter is so beautiful, much prettier than your brother was when he was born. He was all wrinkled and looked like a little monkey back then, but my daughter is..."

As she spoke, Xing's mother began to shed tears, and Hu Tangdi quickly comforted her, "Auntie, don't get emotional, you can't cry."

Mrs. Xing hurriedly wiped her eyes, "My son, he left us so young, and so quickly, how can I bear it?"

Hu Tangdi quickly changed the subject, "When can the baby eat? Was she hungry when she cried just now?"

"Oh, right, right, right."

Xing's mother was teaching Hu Tangdi how to make formula, all of which had been prepared in advance. But when she looked up, she saw Shang Lin crying her eyes out. She hurriedly asked worriedly, "What's wrong with Xiao Shang?"

Shang Lin quickly wiped away the tears on her face and said in a choked voice, "I miss my mother."

"Oh, you're right. You siblings have been out for so many days. You came here to have fun, but you've ended up keeping me company the whole time. But I'll be discharged tomorrow, so you can go about your business."

After saying that, Xing's mother looked around the ward again and asked, "Where is your uncle?"

Hu Tangdi hurriedly replied, "Uncle has gone to take care of something and will probably be back in a while."

Although Hu Tangdi had always felt that she didn't understand human emotions, she now realized that it was too difficult for Xing Tian to say the word "uncle".

"Sigh, your uncle is exhausted too, with family, work, and all sorts of relatives to deal with. Sometimes I wonder if it's a mistake for us to have children at our age? I don't know if it's a blessing or a curse for our daughter to stay with us in the future?"

Hu Tangdi glanced at "Xing Tian" and hurriedly said, "Auntie, don't worry. Our two families will cooperate in the future. My brother and I will take care of the little sister. Have you named the child yet, Uncle and Auntie?"

"We haven't taken the baby yet, so we don't know if it's a boy or a girl. We'll have to find a fortune teller to do a proper divination later."

Hu Tangdi really wanted to say, "The expert is right in front of you." But in the end, he just gave the baby bottle to Xing's mother.

After the baby finished drinking her milk, she fell asleep. Exhausted, Xing's mother also fell asleep. "Xing Tian" carefully picked up her little sister again. This time, she didn't cry and slept very soundly. "Xing Tian" then smiled, smiling like a fool.

In the evening, Xing's mother's family arrived: her uncle, aunt, and cousin. Shang Lin and Hu Tangdi also "left" after successfully completing their mission; in reality, Shang Lin left, while Hu Tangdi and Xing Tian stayed behind.

Shang Lin was worried about the baby's safety. Xing Tianyi was reluctant to leave, and he was also worried about his relatives. In the past six months, his understanding of "relatives" had been completely rewritten.

While he was alive, he got along well with his relatives; at most, his family would spend more money. But after he died, they really showed their true colors.

However, they don't interact much with their maternal relatives because their mother married far away, so they don't have much contact with them and don't know them well. Therefore, they are still worried.

Shang Lin and "Old Man Chai" returned to the hotel. "Old Man Chai" looked unwell the whole way, even worse than Shang Lin, who was exhausted of his spiritual energy.

However, Shang Lin could roughly guess that Xing Tian's relatives were particularly difficult to deal with, and Ji Xiaoyao was probably worried about whether Qiu Niang could grow up safely in the Xing family.

In fact, it's almost impossible to guard against so many awful relatives, and Shang Lin is a little worried. Therefore, the cooperation with the Xing family must be successful so that they can keep an eye on things at all times and not delay making money.

It's a win-win situation.
