Chapter 5121: Joy
“Ha ha ha ha ha!” Feng Sanyuan chuckled, stroking his beard. “My dear, your grandfather here is no longer the man I once was. At this stage, I can alter my appearance at will.”
With that, he patted her shoulder and sighed with feigned exasperation. “Ah, Little Feng, you wouldn’t believe it—your grandfather here can’t even look too young either. Just the other day, someone mistook me for your father’s son!”
“Pfft!”
Feng Jiu couldn’t help but burst out laughing.
Even the others in the hall couldn’t help but join in the laughter. It made sense—Feng Xiao had always been a sturdy, broad-shouldered man, maintaining that robust appearance well into middle age. But now that the old master had advanced his cultivation and rejuvenated his appearance, the two standing together could easily be mistaken for father and son by the uninitiated.
“Father, looking at you now, anyone would think you’re my Grandfather!” Feng Ye chimed in with a grin beside him.
“You finally remembered to come home? If not for Little Feng bringing you back, who knows where you’d be running wild,” Feng Sanyuan snorted, scolding him with a hint of irritation.
Hearing this, Feng Ye rubbed his nose and retreated to his mother’s side. “Mother, I missed you.” With that, he threw his arms around her.
Feng Sanyuan watched, his brows furrowing in disapproval. He stepped forward and yanked Feng Ye out of Su Xi’s embrace. “How old are you? Still burrowing into your mother’s arms? Aren’t you ashamed?”
“Hahahaha…”
Guan Xilin watched the scene and couldn’t help but laugh aloud. Those around him also broke into smiles, amusedly observing Feng Sanyuan and the others.
Su Xi smiled too, patting Feng Ye’s hand before turning to Feng Jiu and Xuanyuan Mo Ze. “Has Mo Ze’s health fully recovered? Why didn’t you mention you were coming back? The journey must have been exhausting.”
“My health has fully recovered. We arrived so late that you all couldn’t get proper rest,” Xuanyuan Mo Ze replied.
“Glad you’re back. Come, come, everyone, take a seat.” Feng Sanyuan gestured as he walked toward the main seat. Just then, Feng Xiao and Shangguan Wanrou approached together. Feng Sanyuan smiled at Feng Jiu and said, “Your father and mother have arrived.”
“Little Jiu!” Feng Xiao called out in a resonant voice, his hand clasped with Shangguan Wanrou’s as they strode in.
“Father, Mother.” Feng Jiu stepped forward to greet them, but when she saw the clothes her father was wearing, she paused, then smiled slightly.
“Feng Xiao, you’re over fifty now—how could you still wear your clothes inside out?” Feng Sanyuan stroked his beard, grinning as he fixed his gaze on him.
“Huh?”
Only then did Feng Xiao and Shangguan Wanrou realize something was amiss. Glancing down, they saw the outer robe was indeed worn backwards.
Shangguan Wanrou murmured softly, “It’s all my fault. When I heard Little Jiu was back, I didn’t help him double-check before we rushed out.”
“Hahaha, it’s fine, it’s fine. We’ll just change it back when we get home. It’s my own carelessness.” Feng Xiao laughed heartily, unconcerned. Instead, he looked at his daughter before him and asked, “Little Jiu, how did you come back?” Didn’t you ascend? How could you possibly return?”
“Sit down, sit down,” Feng Sanyuan called out, gesturing for them to take a seat.
The two approached and sat down. Once they were seated, Xuanyuan Mo Ze, Feng Jiu, Feng Ye, and the others stepped forward. They bowed respectfully and addressed them.
