After transmigrating, I made a name for myself through my culinary skills.

The grilled squid was skewered on bamboo sticks, grilled until the skin was slightly charred, and then brushed with a brown sauce. When the guard bought it, the vendor also sprinkled a layer of chili powder and white sesame seeds on it, making the colors look very appetizing.

The fresh squid meat is springy and has a spicy, salty and savory taste, mixed with a hint of sesame. The remaining small fish and shrimp taste almost the same, only they are grilled to a higher golden brown. The shrimp shells are even grilled until crispy. Xiaobai didn't even spit out the shells when he ate them.

Just as they finished eating the skewers, the carriage stopped, and a guard outside the carriage reminded them that they had arrived at the Su family's residence.

As soon as they stepped off the carriage, Ye Lan and the others were stunned. This was no home; it was a castle! There were several small fortresses inside, the tallest of which was five stories high. All of them were built of white stone and looked magnificent and solemn under the sunlight.

Jiang Nan excitedly punched Su Bo on the shoulder and said in an exaggerated tone, "Your house is too big!"

"What's the big deal? The Green Mountain Sect is still under the Jiang family's control, and it's even bigger." Su Bo waved his hand dismissively. They didn't hide their identities from Su Ye. In Wuya City, the Su family could protect them without any problem.

Ye Lan and Nangong Yue: Why do I suddenly feel like I'm being flaunted?

The aristocratic families in Wuya City all built their houses this way. Having grown up seeing it, Su Bo and Su Ye didn't find anything special about it. But when someone suddenly praised them like this, Su Ye felt a little embarrassed.

He was young, and his ears turned a little red when he was shy. He urged his third cousin, "Let's go in. Grandfather and the others are already waiting inside."

The group walked towards the five-story fortress, which was the main building of the Su family. Su Bo's grandfather, Su Jinghuai, the head of the Su family, lived here. The Su family usually held meetings and had guests in this fortress.

The roads inside the castle were paved with low-grade spirit stones. Because of the abundant spiritual energy, the flowers and plants inside were growing well, unlike the barren landscape outside.

When Ye Lan and the others entered the main building, they saw many people standing in the lobby, all of whom were Su Bo's family members.

The men of the Su family were all tall and strong, with an average height of over 1.9 meters and one even looking over 2 meters. Ye Lan and the others were all over 1.8 meters tall, and Jiang Ning was over 1.85 meters tall, but they still looked a little short here.

Indeed, Su Bo has always been the tallest and strongest among them. He once said that it is cold in the Northern Continent, and before they start fasting, they have to eat a lot of things to provide their bodies with heat. Eating a lot when they are young makes it easier to grow taller.

Su Bo's grandfather sat in the very center of the hall. He looked like a middle-aged man with a trimmed beard and a cold expression when he was expressionless.

Su Bo stepped forward, lifted his robe, and knelt in a gesture of respect: "Grandfather, I'm back."

Then Su Bo greeted the people next to him: "Uncle, Second Uncle, Fourth Uncle."

Su Bo's grandfather nodded and helped Su Bo up. Contrary to his cold exterior, he was very kind to the younger generation: "These children, are they the fellow disciples you mentioned in the message?"

Su Bo stood up obediently and introduced Jiang Ning and the others to him: "Yes, these are my good brothers from the Green Mountain Sect."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Ning and the others bowed to Su Jinghuai and said, "Greetings, Grandpa Su."

Su Jinghuai waved his hand at them: "Since you are all Su Bo's good brothers, just treat this place as your home, just like him. This is the first time my grandson has brought people to our home, so there is no need for so much formality."

Su Bo then introduced Nangong Yue to his grandfather: "Grandfather, this is also Miss Nangong. She saved my life before."

Su Jinghuai seemed somewhat surprised: "Oh, really? Then you'd better thank them properly."

Su Bo replied, "Grandson understands."

Nangong Yue was a little embarrassed and quickly waved her hand: "It's not really saving a life."

Su Jinghuai waved his hand, and his second son, Su Ruiqi, presented them with the gifts he had prepared earlier. These gifts were all in storage bags, and Jiang Ning and the others did not know what they were.

"Consider these little things as a small gift to thank you for taking good care of my grandson in the Southern Continent. If you need any help here in the Northern Continent, just let me know."

The group accepted the gift and thanked him. Jiang Ning stepped forward and took out a gift box from his spatial storage: "This was sent by my father to Grandpa Su."

Su Ruiqi took it and handed it to her father.

Su Jinghuai opened the box in front of them. Inside were several rare spiritual herbs and a letter. The letter contained nothing more than pleasantries and a request for Su Bo's grandfather to take care of his child and the disciples of the Green Mountain Sect.

After reading the letter, Su Jinghuai said, "Your father is still as polite as ever after all these years."

Su Jinghuai had met Jiang Ning's father before, when Su Bo's parents were married. Jiang Ning wasn't even born then.

The Jiang family and Su Bo's maternal grandfather's family were old friends, having known each other since their ancestors' time. That's why Su Bo's maternal grandfather allowed him to cultivate at the Green Mountain Sect when he lived at his maternal grandfather's house. When Su Bo's parents returned to the Northern Continent, they would also take their son with them to stay at the main family home for a while. In recent years, his parents have been traveling somewhere and haven't been seen. Su Bo himself has not returned to the Northern Continent.

"Grandfather~"

Suddenly, a childish voice came from the doorway. Everyone turned their heads at the sound of the voice, and a beautiful little girl came running in from outside, followed by a man.

Su Jinghuai stood up and picked up his granddaughter in his arms: "Hey, Xing'er, why did you run over here?"

A little girl named Xing'er: "Xing'er has come to see her brother."

Su Xing'er is the only girl in Su Bo's generation. With so many boys in the family, it's rare to have a beautiful girl, and she's the youngest. The whole family dotes on her.

Su Jinghuai introduced to Su Bo, "This is your little cousin. She's just three years old this year. You haven't met her before. Come here, Xing'er, call her third cousin."

"Third cousin." Su Xing'er's voice was sweet, her eyes round and curious as she looked at this cousin she had never seen before.

Su Bo patted his pocket and gave her a storage bag containing several toys, which he had prepared after hearing that his fourth uncle had a daughter.

"Thank you, Third Cousin."

Su Xing'er looked curiously at her cousin's friends, including a pretty older sister. She told her grandfather that she wanted to get down, and after the Su family head let her down, she ran over to Nangong Yue.

She pulled a large pink pearl from her pocket: "Sister, here you go."

Nangong Yue looked at the pretty little girl in front of her and was a little at a loss. She had no experience in interacting with children, let alone being given a gift by a child.

Su Jinghuai was surprised that his granddaughter would be so proactive, as she usually rarely paid attention to her brothers.

Su Jinghuai said to her, "Xing'er likes you very much, so please accept it. There are plenty of pearls in Beizhou."

"It's getting late, Su Ye, take them to rest for a while, and we'll have dinner together later."

Su Ye accepted the order: "Yes."

After leaving the hall, Su Ye led them to another fortress. Su Bo and Su Ye's father each had a fortress, and this time they came to Su Bo's father's fortress.

After leaving the main building, Ye Lan and the others finally felt comfortable looking at the gifts they had received. When they opened the storage bag, their eyes widened in surprise. It was a bag of pearls, about a hundred in total, and the size and quality were much better than the ones Jiang Nan had bought before.
