My Son-in-Law Is Here

"Is there a problem?"

Seeing the grave expression on Mu Tianye's face, Chen Chang'an also frowned slightly. Two peak-level Immortal Emperors—was it really worth such concern?

"Do you know why the other eight families couldn’t assist the Ye Family this time?" Mu Tianye asked.

"Wasn’t it because you were all preoccupied with your own troubles?"

"Exactly."

"Indeed, we were overwhelmed."

"Because while the demonic race was attacking the Ye Family, they also launched minor assaults on the other eight families."

"And what’s more, peak-level Immortal Emperors appeared among them."

"Otherwise, we wouldn’t have been completely unable to spare any aid for the Ye Family."

"Who would’ve thought that in just a million years, the demonic race could cultivate so many peak-level Immortal Emperors again?"

"How did they even manage that?"

Hearing Mu Tianye’s words, Chen Chang'an’s frown deepened. If that were the case, it seemed the demonic race had dispatched ten peak-level Immortal Emperors this time?

Two to focus on the Ye Family, while the remaining eight served as distractions?

But… wasn’t that just idiotic?

If all ten Immortal Emperors had besieged the Ye Family together, wouldn’t that have made their goal far easier to achieve?

Was the Demon Lord’s brain addled or something?

"Never mind how they did it."

"Don’t you think their actions this time are highly suspicious?"

"With ten peak-level Immortal Emperors striking simultaneously, the Ye Family wouldn’t have stood a chance."

"They could’ve annihilated the Ye Family with lightning speed before any of you could intervene."

"Yet they chose to block you instead? Was that really necessary?"

Chen Chang'an’s confusion only made Mu Tianye let out a bitter laugh. "You find it strange because you’ve never dealt with the demonic race before."

"But for us, this isn’t surprising at all."

"The demonic race has always acted this way."

"They love spectacle, they love arrogance, and they’ve never regarded humans or demons as worthy opponents."

"In their eyes, the Ancient Immortal Domain is nothing more than a resource pool for them to plunder at will."

"This operation had one clear purpose—to announce that the demonic race is making a grand return."

"So, they wouldn’t just target the Ye Family. They wanted us to witness the extent of their restored strength."

"Destroying the Ye Family was likely just a show of dominance, and the demonic race probably thought sending so many of their kind was a surefire victory."

"Who would’ve guessed…"

"Are you certain the Ye Family is truly unharmed?"

Mu Tianye still found it hard to believe. The Ye Family’s situation had been dire—did Chen Chang'an really have the power to turn the tide?

"They’re fine now."

"Good, that’s a relief."

"Let’s not linger here. We should head back to Little Cloud Heaven first."

"Agreed."

Mu Tianye was genuinely pleased by Chen Chang'an’s arrival. After all, this was his future son-in-law.

As for Chen Qingqing standing beside Chen Chang'an, Mu Tianye had certainly noticed her, but unlike the simple-minded Mu Yunhai, he knew better than to pry too deeply into certain matters.

"Is that really Chen Chang'an?"

"Wait, wasn’t it said that his cultivation was only at the Golden Immortal realm? How did he reach Immortal King? And peak-level Immortal King at that?"

"Calculating the time, it’s only been a few decades, right?"

"Less than a century, actually."

"Less than a century, and he jumped from Golden Immortal to peak-level Immortal King? That’s terrifying."

"Well, he’s the acknowledged number one prodigy of the Ancient Immortal Domain. Isn’t being terrifying kind of the point?"

"Back then, Ye Beixuan was also hailed as the top prodigy. Was he this monstrous?"

"Uh…"

Chen Chang'an’s arrival left the Mu Family members both awed and astonished. None had expected his cultivation to have already reached the peak of the Immortal King realm.

Meanwhile, the Mu Family’s ancestors and high-ranking elders had all emerged, eager to witness the legendary prodigy for themselves.

"Yunyao truly picked an exceptional disciple."

"Indeed. Who could’ve guessed she’d find such a monstrous talent in the lower realm?"

"Counting from his ascension to the Ancient Immortal Domain, it’s barely been a century, yet his cultivation has soared to this level."

"But is it true that he and Yunyao share another kind of relationship?"

"That… we don’t know. Yunyao never mentioned anything."

"Ah, that girl was always impulsive. Disappearing into the Immortal-Demon Secret Realm for decades now…"

Chen Chang'an studied these old-timers for a moment, his expression one of disdain.

If not for them, would his master, Mu Yunyao, have fled to the lower realm in the first place?

Now they pretended to care? Where was this concern back then?

Aside from Mu Tianye and Mu Yunhai, Chen Chang'an held little respect for the rest of the Mu Family.

"Chen Chang'an greets you all."

His tone made the Mu Family’s ancestors and elders frown.

What an impudent young man.

Whether he was Mu Yunyao’s fiancé or disciple, he was still a junior. Was this how he addressed his elders?

Mu Tianye, standing nearby, secretly relished the moment. Compared to how Chen Chang'an had treated him earlier, this was practically cordial.

Though he, too, had grievances with the family elders, his position prevented him from speaking out.

"Chen Chang'an!"

"You are indeed a prodigy. Surpassing us in the future won’t be difficult for you."

"But don’t forget—right now, you lack the right to be this arrogant."

"Regardless, we are your elders. Is this attitude appropriate?" the Mu Family ancestor said sternly.

"Elders?"

Chen Chang'an smirked coldly. "Since when did you remember you were elders?"

"When my master refused to marry into the Wang Family, where was your sense of duty as elders?"

"Using your authority to force a clanswoman into an unwanted marriage—is that what elders should do?"

"Besides, you’re the Mu Family’s elders, not mine."

"My attitude is my own business."

Chen Chang'an showed no deference to the Mu Family ancestor, making Mu Tianye tense up.

Though the boy clearly wanted to stand up for Mu Yunyao, he was pushing things too far. How would this end?

"Ancestor, Chang'an has always been like this. Please don’t take it to heart."

"He’s just speaking up for Yunyao out of concern," Mu Tianye hurriedly interjected.

"Hahaha!"

"Good."

"Very good!"
