Four years later, Xu Shuyi and her brother finally emerged from seclusion one after the other. Just as they were about to announce that they had advanced to the late stage of the Nascent Soul realm, they were shocked to find three little potatoes running around in their own courtyard.

Xu Shuyi asked in surprise, "Mother, Great-Grandmother, whose children are these? Why are you babysitting other people's kids?"

"Yeah, who is this? Sending so many little brats all at once is such a hassle." Xu Shuyin had barely finished speaking when the three little ones who had been running around earlier surrounded her.

"Brother, sister, watch carefully, I'm hungry."

Xu Shuyin pinched the little girl's cheek and said with a smile, "Little one, you can't call us brother or sister. We're already over fifty years old. You have to call us uncle and aunt."

"Hahaha, hahaha..."

To everyone's surprise, Chen Guiying and her granddaughter burst into laughter as soon as Xu Shuyin said this.

After the two had finished laughing, Chen Guiying spoke up: "Shuyin, this girl is your aunt, you should call her aunt, you can't mess up the generational order."

"What, Auntie?"

The brother and sister exclaimed in surprise. When did their grandmother give birth to a aunt who was forty or fifty years younger than them?

Seeing two boys nearby, Xu Shuyi pointed at them and asked, "Were these two also born to your maternal grandmother?"

"Hehe, neither of these are."

The brother and sister had just breathed a sigh of relief when they heard their mother say, "This is your younger brother."

As she spoke, Xu Qingman pulled the two little ones over and pointed to Xu Shuyi and his sister, saying, "Shuyang, Shunuo, these are your older brother and sister. You should greet them."

"Hello, brother, hello, sister, I'm Shuyang."

"Hello, brother, hello, sister, I am Shunuo."

"Hello, brother, hello, sister, I am Qingyao."

The first two were fine, but when Xu Qingyao called out "brother" and "sister," Chen Guiying and her granddaughter burst out laughing again.

Even Xu Shuyi and Xu Shuyin, the siblings, couldn't help but laugh.

When she saw that everyone was laughing at her when she called out, little Xu Qingyao burst into tears.

"Oh dear, why is our little Yao Yao crying?" Seeing her little sister crying, Xu Qingman suppressed a laugh and picked her up.

"Waaah, uh, Grandma and my sister are mean, you're both making fun of Yao Yao."

Hearing the little one's complaint, Xu Qingman quickly assured him, "No, we didn't make fun of you. Your sister and grandma just thought you were so cute that they laughed."

"Yes, yes, Grandma was only smiling because she thought our Yaoyao was cute. Also, Yaoyao, let me tell you, Shuyang and Shunuo are both your nephews, so their older brothers and sisters are also your nephews."

"Our Yaoyao is their aunt, so she can't call them 'older sister'."

The old lady's words only made the little girl cry even harder.

"Wow~, I don't want to be an aunt to adults. They're all so grown up, how can they call me aunt? Yao Yao is a little fairy, not an old lady."

Seeing Xu Qingyao crying pitifully, Xu Shunu and Xu Shuyang, who were originally having fun, also started to cry.

Instantly, the entire courtyard was filled with deafening cries. Xu Shuyi and her siblings were so frightened by this scene, they almost ran out the door.

"Great-grandmother, Mother, let's go for a walk."

Xu Shuyi and her brother never expected that when they emerged from their seclusion, they would not be greeted by the affection of their elders, but by three dreadful little potatoes.

On the street, Xu Shuyin said with a long face, "Big brother, we're not Mom and Dad's little darlings anymore. What's going on? Suddenly they gave us two little brothers, it's so surprising."

"Alright, you're already in your fifties or sixties, and you're already jealous of two little ones."

"Who's jealous? I'm just not used to it right now. But our two younger brothers are quite cute; they look a lot like their older brother when he was little."

"My brothers are fine; being their older sister makes me look younger. But that little girl Xu Qingyao, are we really going to call her 'Auntie' from now on? That's so embarrassing."

"You."

Xu Shuyi patted his sister's head. He and his sister had been together for decades, and apart from when they were in seclusion for cultivation, they had never been separated.

Xu Shuyi understood perfectly what her younger sister was thinking. She wasn't blaming her parents for having another child; she was just having a hard time accepting it for the time being.

Besides, my parents already knew they wanted to have another child. They had told me before that their family was too small, and it would be too difficult for them to fight alone in the Lingchuan Realm.

It's alright now, as our family isn't particularly noticeable in the Lingchuan Realm. But once our parents or siblings reach a certain level of cultivation, they'll definitely attract the attention of some sects or large families.

It would be better if we had more trustworthy people in our family, so that we could always help each other out if anything happened.

Although there are three more now, it's still not enough. It seems I'll have to discuss it with my parents when I get back and see if we can bring in some people from outside.

"Big brother, shall we go buy some gifts for our younger brother and aunt?"

While Xu Shuyi was still thinking about how to comfort his sister, Xu Shuyin was already happily discussing buying a gift with him.

The brother and sister bought a lot of gifts outside and went back home with smiles, ready to coax the three little ones.

As soon as she entered, Xu Shuyin called out to the little potatoes, "Shunuo, Shuyang, Yaoyao, look what we bought for you!"

As soon as the two chubby boys heard there were gifts, they ran over excitedly, saying, "Thank you, big brother and sister."

However, little Xu Qingyao nestled in Xu Qingman's arms, her eyes red-rimmed, and seemed reluctant to come over.

Xu Shuyin handed her the two little dresses she had bought for her, along with a bag of snacks.

"Yaoyao, this is for you. See if you like it?"

With her older sister's encouraging gaze, the little girl took the things from Xu Shuyin's hands and sweetly said thank you.

Just as Xu Shuyin was about to say "No need to thank me," she heard the little girl speak again: "Grandma and my sister said I'm Auntie, so from now on you and Shuyi will have to call me Auntie just like Shuyang and Shunuo."

After saying that, she stared at the two of them intently, as if she wouldn't give up until they agreed. The little girl's serious expression made Xu Shuyi and her brother both amused and exasperated.

With no other option, Xu Shuyi and her brother hurriedly called out "Auntie" and then turned back to play with Xu Shunuo and his brother.

The younger brother is cuter; the auntie thing is just too awkward.

At this time, the brother and sister did not know that this was only the beginning. From now on, whenever Xu Qingyao spoke to them, she would have to refer to herself as "Auntie".

After Xu Shuyi and her brother got to know the three little ones, they found them quite cute. Considering that they had just finished their seclusion and wouldn't be cultivating for a while, they let Chen Guiying and Xu Qingman, grandmother and granddaughter, go in to cultivate.

But when they actually took care of the three children, they realized that these were not little angels at all, but rather little devils.

So a few days later, when Xu Jingheng and his wife went out, they found the yard in a mess, and Xu Shuyi and her brother were exhausted and collapsed on the ground, their faces showing an expression of being worse than dead.
