Mei and Guan Lei looked at each other, a hint of tenderness and joy in their eyes, and then they slowly nodded in affirmation.
Guan Lei stepped forward and said proudly, "Yes, we have three children."
There was a sense of happiness and satisfaction in his voice.
Hearing this, the people in the clan couldn't help but exclaimed: "In less than ten years, they gave birth to three children!" They were amazed at the strong fertility of Guan Lei and Mei.
In the upper realm, because everyone is practicing cultivation, their bodies have changed and their lifespans have lengthened, so the fertility rate is generally low.
In contrast, people in the lower realms do not practice cultivation, so their bodies remain in their original state and their fertility rate is actually higher.
Therefore, it is extremely rare for a couple like Guan Lei and Mei to give birth to three children in just ten years.
There were exclamations from the crowd one after another, and they expressed envy and blessings for Guan Lei and Mei's family.
Guan Ancheng was even more delighted. He felt that his family was about to usher in new hope and vitality.
Among those of Guan Lei's age in the upper realm, they were the first to have children. Guan Ancheng couldn't help laughing.
This news filled the whole family with joy.
Guan Lei's return this time brought them a lot of surprises.
After seeing Mei hang up the communication stone, Guan Ancheng coughed lightly, and the voice seemed to carry a hint of imperceptible calmness and majesty.
Then he glanced at everyone, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and asked softly: "Does anyone have any other questions?"
At this moment, a slightly hesitant voice suddenly came from the quiet atmosphere: "I~~~~"
It turned out to be an elder from one of the tribes. He seemed to have something to say in his mind and was about to say a few words to express his opinion.
He was just about to open his mouth, ready to utter the words that had been suppressed in his heart for a long time.
However, before he could finish a word, he was suddenly and secretly stopped by another person sitting next to him.
The man's movements were extremely slight, but contained an unquestionable power, as if suggesting to the elder not to say too much.
Seeing this, Guan Ancheng couldn't help but feel a little alert. He was well aware of the complicated situation within the family and the thoughts of these elders.
So, he immediately raised his voice and said loudly: "Since there is nothing else, let's end it here. We will discuss the follow-up matters in the meeting."
The other elders in the clan nodded in agreement.
"Lei, Mei, come with me. I have something important to ask you privately."
His words revealed an irresistible command, as if he was declaring his authority and decision, making everyone present feel an invisible pressure.
The crowd also dispersed.
A trace of worry flashed in Mei's eyes. She stared at Guan Lei closely, and her eyes seemed to be able to see through everything.
Guan Lei noticed her uneasiness and frowned slightly. Then he used his spiritual sense to comfort her softly, "Don't worry. Father and Mother have always been very easygoing people. They won't make things difficult for us."
After saying this, Guan Lei's eyes showed a determined look, as if conveying confidence to Mei.
When Mei looked at him, her worries eased a little, but she still hadn't let them go completely.
"bring it on."
Guan Ancheng adjusted his clothes with grace and composure.
He stood up, his tall figure standing out in the room.
Slowly, he took a step and walked towards the door, each step carrying a steady strength.
Mrs. Guan followed closely behind, with a graceful figure and light steps, like a blooming flower following the spring breeze.
Her eyes revealed her dependence and trust in her husband.
As Guan Ancheng stepped out of the room, a faint scent spread, as if foreshadowing the beginning of a new journey.
The four of them moved to the sect master's spacious and slightly mysterious study.
Mrs. Guan's slender but firm hand gently closed the door, and the door seemed to instantly isolate the noise and chaos of the outside world. Then, like a skilled magician, she quickly and accurately cast the isolation spell.
The faint light emitted by the magic was like a thin layer of mist, enveloping the entire study, exuding a faint mysterious atmosphere.
Guan Ancheng, who had always maintained a serious and dignified expression, suddenly had a drastic change in expression on his face.
His eyes, which were usually as sharp as swords, became soft and warm at this moment, and the corners of his mouth rose slightly, as if he had taken off his heavy armor and his whole body relaxed.
When he was with Mrs. Guan, it was as if his appearance had suddenly changed, from being solemn and dignified before to being amiable and amiable now.
"Hey, son, come and sit down, come and sit down."
Guan Ancheng greeted his son warmly, his voice full of concern and love, as if to say: "Son, don't be so nervous, this is our home, a place where you can relax."
"Daughter-in-law, sit down too. Come on~"
Mrs. Guan also said with a smile, her eyes flashing with joy. She took Mei's hand and pressed her onto the chair next to her.
Mei sat there, her heart filled with confusion and bewilderment. The huge contrast between the past and the present caught her off guard. She couldn't help but wonder: What on earth is going on?!
Guan Lei seemed much more relaxed. He lay down on the chair and said, "I was so tired just now."
After saying that, he suddenly came to Guan Ancheng's side and said with a smile: "Dad, do you want to see your granddaughter and grandson?"
"Look! I must see it!" Guan Ancheng sat upright, unable to wait any longer.
After Guan Lei finished speaking, he showed off the photo stone and smiled proudly, as if it was his most valuable treasure.
He gently shook the photo stone, and the three small figures inside became clearer and clearer, and every movement seemed so cute and lively.
Guan Ancheng's eyes were shining with anticipation, and he couldn't wait to take a good look at his granddaughter and grandson.
He leaned forward slightly, his eyes fixed on the photo stone, as if afraid of missing any details.
Mei was muttering to herself, full of confusion. She really couldn't remember when Guan Lei secretly took these pictures.
However, seeing everyone so excited, she didn't say much. She just stood aside silently, occasionally glancing at the children in the photo stone.
"Dad, look, this is our eldest granddaughter, Guan Muxi. She's such a lively person, like a little sun, always bringing warmth to those around her. She's almost ten years old now, but she still maintains that innocence and kindness. She's also making good progress in her cultivation, having already reached the first level of foundation building. She's sure to have a bright future."
Guan Lei introduced them like he knew them all, with a proud look on his face.
