Big Names of a Small Family
“Umm… Uh…” Mu Yu did not know where to start.
“My claws are ready. I just need me some snacks,” jovially commented Xiaoshuai, who had reverted to his human form.
Mu Yu pulled Tian Ran over. “Everyone, this is Tian Ran.”
Tian Ran politely bowed to Mu Tianhe. “Hello, Grandpa. I am Mu Yu’s junior. My name is Tian Ran.”
Mu Tianhe liked Tian Ran’s pretty and bright appearance. “Hello, Tian Ran. Mu Yu certainly is a blessed boy. Wait, you are Mu Yu’s junior? Does that mean your shifu is also…”
“Yes, my shifu is True God. I wonder why Mu Yu is so reluctant to tell his family that. Now I understand why he told me I did not to prepare. Turns out he already has a father-in-law. Wow…” Tian Ran turned her eyes to Mu Yu.
Mu Yu feigned ignorance and pulled Mu Xin over. “Xin, this is Tian Ran. Tian Ran, this is my sister. You two should get along well.”
“Hello, Miss Tian Ran!” enthused Mu Xin.
Tian Ran sweetly smiled back. “Nice to meet you, Xin.”
“True God’s disciple! Wait. Miss Tian Ran? Where have I heard that name before…?” mumbled Mu Tianhe. “Miss Tian Ran, please give me a private moment with Mu Yu.
Mu Tianhe pulled Mu Yu over to the side and, in a quiet voice, questioned, “Mu Yu, there’s a rumour that Secular World Sect’s divine maiden fell for you and helped you escape during the incident at Pure peace City. I remember her name is Tian Ran. What’s going on here?”
Mu Zhexing also inquired, “Mu Yu, is she a different Tian Ran to the one you mentioned last time?”
Mu Yu stole a quick gander of smiling Tian Ran, then whispered, “Yes, she’s Secular World Sect’s divine maiden.”
“Then, how is she your junior?” asked Mu Tianhe.
“Mm… To tell the truth, Tian Ran is my shifu’s daughter. In other words, she’s the daughter of my shifu and Secular World Sect’s previous divine maiden. She grew up at Secular World Sect but is no longer associated with them. As she has chosen to return to her roots, she is part of Dustfallen Sect.”
“She’s who?! She’s True God’s daughter?”
“Also, the two of us are together. That is true.”
Mu Tianhe’s cheeks had a spasm. “You fell for True God’s daughter? What about Mr. Bai’s daughter? He might not compare to True God, but there’s no denying our clan owes him.”
“Hahaha, do you actually know who Old Furry is?” queried Xiaoshuai, entertained.
“Who?”
Mu Yu sighed in surrender. “Mr. Bai is one of the ten archfiends – Archfiend Baiyuan. Qiao Xue’s allegiance is with the fiend race.”
“I… I… with an archfiend… I… Thank heavens I never said anything to offend him. Mu Yu, you should tell me who people are next time so that I know who I’m dealing with. What would we have done if I offended him?”
“You will get used to it. Given Mu Yu’s identity, you cannot expect his friends to be ordinary folks from the streets, Father. I did send you hints, but you never paid attention,” Mu Zhexing voiced.
“Mr. B-, Archfiend Baiyuan mentioned settling a score with you when he departed. Is it all right for you to be on the bad side of an archfiend?”
“Don’t worry, Grandpa. He doesn’t mean any ill will. That’s just him being him. He almost threatens me every second sentence. I’ll clear it up with him when I meet him again.”
“Just thinking our in-laws will be True God and an archfiend is…”
“Father, you should be glad Mu Yu is good enough for two girls with that pedigree fawning over him. Don’t worry about who they are. What matters is that he and the two girls mutually like each other,” opined Mu Zhexing.
“You’re right. I did promise not to stick my nose where it doesn’t belong again. Still…” Mu Tianhe glanced Tian Ran’s way and politely reciprocated her smile. He then leaned in to whisper, “Mu Yu, how are you dealing with the two of them? Their fathers are both big wigs. It’s normal for a man to have multiple wives. In saying that, the real problem is who your main wife is! Have they betrothed their daughters to you?”
“Grandpa, that is a question for the future. Let’s discuss something else, shall we?”
“Father, don’t worry. Mu Yu knows what he’s doing,” persuaded Mu Zhexing.
“You know how it feels to face my daughters-in-law when I don’t know who is given which treatment?”
Tian Ran leaned in and brightly whispered, “Grandpa, as you are Mu Yu’s grandpa, you are my grandpa. You need not worry.”
Mu Tianhe flinched. “Ahaha… Ahaha, Miss Tian Ran, True God is much older than I am. If you call me Grandpa, I may lose years off my lifespan…”
Mu Yu patted Mu Tianhe on the back. “Don’t worry, Grandpa. Tian Ran isn’t stuck up. She’s family.”
“Exactly, Grandpa. I need your support when Mu Yu is mean to me, right? Hehehe.”
“Ahaha…” Meanwhile, Mu Tianhe thought, As if I’d dare not to! Even if I can’t beat him, I’d still scold him!
“I can’t wait to meet Qiao Xue now.” Tian Ran turned her head to Mu Yu, freezing the air.
