More than ten minutes later, a middle-aged man and woman walked over from a distance.
They were Chu Qiunan's parents, Chu Changsheng and Wu Chunhong.
Compared with Pan Ning and Meng Qianyu's mother, Wu Chunhong was a bit inferior. Although she also looked very noble and good-looking, she seemed a bit older.
The two of them saw the group of people sitting in the tea area and walked over with smiling faces.
"Simin~ When did you guys come?"
Wu Chunhong quickly walked over and sat next to Meng Simin. Chu Changsheng followed and nodded to greet Pan Chonghai and the others, then he also found a seat and sat down.
"We just came a little while ago. Where did you two go?"
"We were chatting with some friends in the back garden."
"Oh, we were also chatting with these young people here."
Hearing this, Wu Chunhong turned to look at Su Yang and the other young people and smiled. Then she turned her gaze to her son, Chu Qiunan.
Seeing him with his head down, looking like he had something on his mind and not chatting with others, she shouted, "Qiunan, why are you pulling such a long face? Who offended you?"
"Um? No... nothing~"
"Then everyone is chatting, and you're just sitting there alone. Learn from your friends. You young people should communicate more, you know?"
"Okay, mom~"
After Wu Chunhong glared at Chu Qiunan, she looked at Su Yang and smiled, "This handsome young man, we met outside just now. By the way, what's your name again?"
"Su Yang~"
"Oh, right. Look at my memory. I forgot right away. Don't mind, okay?"
"Don't worry, auntie."
"And these three..."
As she said, she looked at Liu Bo and the other three.
Liu Bo grinned and said, "Auntie, my name is Liu Bo."
Zhang Ziming also followed, "Auntie, my name is Zhang Ziming."
"Auntie, my name is Ji Bo!"
"Ji... Bo. Hahaha, good, all good. Hey, looking at you young and handsome guys and beautiful girls, I can't help but think of our youth. Hey, time waits for no one~"
"Who says it isn't?" Meng Simin also said with a nostalgic smile on her face.
Then the middle-aged people started chatting non-stop about all kinds of their wild and crazy past stories when they were young.
At four o'clock in the afternoon, most of the guests at the entrance had arrived. Meng Wenzhou and Meng Qianyu also walked in from outside the manor.
Meng Jianyun and Yao Huiqin also turned and entered the reception hall.
Seeing that the time was about right, Meng Simin then looked at Su Yang and said, "Xiao Su... Xiaopang, and Ziming, Xiaoji, Qiunan, are you guys free to come to my place for a meal these days? I'll cook a good meal to treat you."
"Huh?" Hearing this, everyone was stunned.
Actually, everyone knew that Meng Simin just wanted to invite Su Yang. But since everyone was here, it wouldn't be good if she only invited Su Yang alone.
Just as everyone was about to reply, Pan Ning said first, "We can't come for the time being."
"Why?"
"We're going out tomorrow and the day after tomorrow."
"Just the two of you?" Meng Simin asked with wide eyes.
"No, they're going with us too." Pan Ning said as she looked at Liu Bo and the others.
"Oh, I thought... Then where are you going?"
"We're going on a self-driving tour to the Tibetan area."
Meng Simin rolled her eyes and said indifferently, "Alright then."
After saying this, she leaned closer to Pan Ning and whispered, "After you come back from your trip, you must bring Xiao Su home for a meal. It's not convenient for me to ask too much on this occasion today."
"Mom... Do you still have questions?"
"Nonsense. Anyway, you bring him home for me then."
"Aren't you going on a trip?" Pan Ning turned to ask.
"It doesn't matter. We're not going abroad this time."
"Alright then~ We'll talk about it later."
......
Just as they were chatting, Meng Jianyun and Yao Huiqin also walked towards them.
Meng Jianyun walked in front first and looked at the group of people and said in a strong voice, "What are you guys chatting about? You seem to be having so much fun."
Meng Simin looked up at Meng Jianyun, "Chatting with the young people. Are you done greeting the guests?"
"Yes, almost."
As Meng Jianyun said, he came to the group. He turned his head and scanned the people sitting there. Except for Su Yang, whom he hadn't met before, he had met the others.
At this time, the young people stood up. Su Yang stepped forward first and looked at Meng Jianyun and politely said, "Uncle Meng, hello. I'm Su Yang, Wenzhou's friend~"
Meng Jianyun turned his head and carefully sized up Su Yang. He nodded and smiled, "So you're Su Yang. I've heard Wenzhou talk about you. Not only him, but you should also have a good relationship with Qianyu. I often hear her talking about Brother Su Yang. It's you, right?"
Su Yang smiled faintly, "Haha, yes, it's me."
"Yeah, the young man looks very energetic. You young people should be like this, you know?"
When Meng Jianyun said this, he bypassed Su Yang and looked at Liu Bo, Zhang Ziming, and Ji Bo.
The three of them nodded with smiling faces and replied, "Got it, Uncle Meng."
At this time, Yao Huiqin also looked at Su Yang and walked forward with a slight smile and said, "Hello, Su Yang. I've long heard Wenzhou and Qianyu talk about you. Come to our place more often when you're free in the future~"
Su Yang looked at Yao Huiqin and nodded, "Okay, auntie~"
"What auntie? Call me Sister Qin~"
"Ah??"
Su Yang was a bit speechless for a moment. It wasn't that he couldn't call her that.
It was mainly that he didn't expect this seemingly very proper woman, Yao Huiqin, to say such a thing.
Meng Jianyun was already used to it and smiled. He shook his head and said, "Don't mind your Aunt Yao. She's not serious. Just call her auntie."
Yao Huiqin glared at Meng Jianyun, "Am I that old?"
Just then, Meng Wenzhou and Meng Qianyu walked over quickly from a distance.
"Mom and Dad, what are you guys chatting about?"
"Just saying hello to your friends~"
"Oh, this is Su Yang, the one I told you about before."
"We've already met."
"Okay, then I don't need to introduce you."
"Brother Su Yang~" At this time, Meng Qianyu was wearing a light blue dress and trotted towards Su Yang with a smiling face. Regardless of who was around, she grabbed Su Yang's wrist and smiled.
Seeing this situation, the expressions on the faces of the middle-aged people changed slightly. Especially Meng Simin, no one knew what she was thinking.
At this time, Meng Jianyun looked at the group and smiled, "Alright, don't sit here anymore. Let's go to the second floor~"
"Okay~"
Everyone agreed and stood up one after another.
Soon, everyone arrived at the banquet hall on the second floor.

But when the final move was played on the chessboard, as Gu Chenghan seized everything and ascended on the verge of apotheosis, that very Princess suddenly embraced him from behind, her tone carrying a dependence never heard before: "Wait... you haven't yet... commanded me to love you forever."

transmigrates into the world as the sect master of the Heavenly Yan Sect, which is on the verge of being wiped out. He binds a system that grants him cultivation power based on the number of disciples he has: for each disciple, he automatically gains a year's worth of cultivation every single day! Take one disciple: every day he gains 1 year of cultivation power. While others struggle through a year of bitter training, he gets the same just by sleeping through a single night.

In just three short years, the Heavenly Yan Sect went from a backwater sect made up of three crumbling huts to a sacred land that every cultivator under heaven would kill to enter. ... One day, otherworldly demon gods invade, with a million demon soldiers pressing down upon the realm. Lin Yan, yawning, rises from his lounge chair and glances at the system panel: [Current Disciples: 1.28 million] [Daily Cultivation Increase: 1.28 million years] He waves his hand casually, and the countless demon soldiers are reduced to ashes in an instant. “So noisy… interrupting my fishing.”
