The cheat system is useless, but I have the strongest living dad.

"Are you all immortal cultivators?" Tu Lin's surprised voice rang out.

Before Tu Xiaoxiao brought them to the pharmacy, she had informed the pharmacist in green robes that she was bringing three immortal cultivators to be treated, so the pharmacist in green robes was not surprised.

Tu Lin immediately understood that her younger brother already knew.

She released her spiritual sense to investigate, but could not see Feng Yu and Huo Die's spiritual roots; she only saw that Shen Yao was a celestial saint.

She didn't need to worry about the immortal lord on the sickbed. She looked at Huo Die suspiciously. Although their demon race was not xenophobic, her nephew had brought back three high-level immortal cultivators. Even if they came to treat him, she still had to be careful.

Huo Die said bluntly, "No need to look. I am an Immortal Venerable, my son-in-law is an Immortal Ancestor, and as for my daughter, you've seen her too, she's an Immortal Saint."

Tu Xiaoxiao thought to herself, "He really is a Celestial Venerable, but I wonder what rank he is."

Tu Lin looked wary: "How should I address you, Immortal Venerable?"

Huo Die: "Call me Huo Die."

Tu Lin frowned, sensing that something was amiss: "Immortal Huo, if I may be frank, how did you know we could heal his scars? And what method did you use to have my nephew bring you to the Tu family?"

Tu Xiaoxiao immediately realized there was a misunderstanding and hurriedly explained, "Aunt Lin, it's not what you think. I insisted on bringing them here."

"Don't speak yet!" Tu Lin stopped him, pressing Huo Die for an answer: "What is the purpose of Immortal Huo's visit to the Tu family? Can you speak frankly?"

Huo Die was tired of standing, so he leisurely sat down in a chair: "The purpose is as you can see, it is to treat my son-in-law's scars. As for how he found out, it was your good nephew who told me himself."

Tu Xiaoxiao quickly agreed: "Yes, I said it. I made a deal with Sister Shen and invited them here."

Tu Lin: "What deal was made?"

Tu Xiaoxiao said casually, "It's just to treat her husband's scars. She gave me what I wanted."

Tu Lin pressed for details: "What do you want?"

Tu Xiaoxiao choked, her momentum halved: "She seems to have a lot of treasures, I haven't decided what I want yet."

She knew her nephew well, having watched him grow up. Looking at Tu Xiaoxiao's guilty expression, she knew he wasn't up to anything.

She pointed at Tu Xiaoxiao and said irritably, "You go and explain things to the head of the family right now, immediately!"

"Okay, I'm going right now." Tu Xiaoxiao quickly sat up from her chair. "I'm going, Aunt Lin, please take good care of his injuries and don't make things difficult for them..."

Tu Lin: "Get out of here!"

Tu Xiaoxiao ran away quickly.

After her scoundrel nephew left, Tu Lin breathed a sigh of relief and softened her expression: "I'm sorry to have made you laugh, Immortal Lord Huo. Would it be convenient for you to tell me why you came to Longyuan City?"

"Please don't mind me. I was just asking out of curiosity. It's rare for immortal cultivators to visit Longyuan City, and you're an Immortal Venerable. I've been in Longyuan City for over three thousand years, and this is the first time I've ever met an Immortal Venerable."

"As a Celestial Venerable, you must have considerable influence in the Celestial Clan. Why would you bring your family and travel thousands of miles to the Demon Clan?"

Huo Die raised an eyebrow: "You're overthinking it. I'm just a rogue cultivator."

Tu Lin didn't believe it: "Immortal Lord Huo is joking. How could you, a dignified Immortal Lord, be a rogue cultivator?"

The Venerable Cultivators of any race are beings of extraordinary status. Not to mention how low the chance of awakening to become a Venerable Cultivator is, just looking at bloodline inheritance, cultivators with high-level spiritual roots would not appear in ordinary families, so how could they be rogue cultivators?

"Aunt Lin, my father and I are really independent cultivators." Shen Yao told the fabricated story of her parents' heartbreaking love.

Huo Die seemed numb to what he was hearing, and he even lowered his head, making a sad expression to match his daughter's.

Feng Yu's ointment had been applied. He sat up and asked Qu Ming to wrap his body with white cotton cloth. Watching Shen Yao's expression as she fabricated her story, he thought, 'Yan Zhou's lying skills are getting better and better; her expression doesn't give her away at all.'

Tu Lin choked up after hearing the story. She looked at the busy Qu Ming, who was her husband, her junior brother, and her favorite husband. Their relationship had always been smooth sailing. She couldn't even imagine how heartbreaking and pitiful it would be if she and Qu Ming went through such a bumpy and torturous love affair.

"I never imagined your backgrounds were so tragic." Tu Lin said to Huo Die with remorse, "I'm sorry, Immortal Huo, I misunderstood you. Please stay at the Tu family home and we will do our best to treat your son-in-law."

Huo Die put on an extremely sorrowful expression, his lips trembling and his voice shaking, "Then... I'll have to trouble you..."

Feng Yu felt a mix of emotions... How did her father get involved in this too...?

Tu Family Ancestral Hall.

A young girl in a blue dress, wearing blue and white cloud-patterned boots, walked into the ancestral hall gate while waving an embroidered fan.

Tu Ruanruan put away her embroidered fan, finished paying her respects to the ancestral tablets, and looked at Tu Xiaoxiao, who was sitting crookedly on the offering table with her legs crossed, eating fruit. She said, "Second brother is still as respectful to the ancestors as ever."

Tu Xiaoxiao spat out the fruit pit, casually picked up another one from the offering plate, took a bite, and asked while chewing, "Why are you here?"

Tu Ruanruan kicked the fruit pit at her feet in disgust: "The patriarch sent me to keep an eye on you, and you really didn't kneel properly."

Tu Xiaoxiao said nonchalantly, "Why should I kneel? The patriarch wouldn't listen to my explanation. I only said the first sentence before he started scolding me and made me kneel in the ancestral hall to reflect on my actions."

He threw the half-eaten fruit back onto the offering plate: "What do I have to reflect on?"

Tu Ruanruan: "What did you say to the head of the family?"

Tu Xiaoxiao: "It's nothing. I just said that I brought a Celestial Venerable, a Celestial Ancestor, and a Celestial Saint to my home and settled them in Xiaoxiang Garden for a long-term stay."

"Pfft." Tu Ruanruan chuckled. "Are you talking about Shen Yao and the others?"

"Huh?" Tu Xiaoxiao jumped off the offering table and walked up to Tu Ruanruan: "Third sister, aren't you surprised?"

Tu Ruanruan: "When I came back from the Long family, I met Jiajia and Guoguo. They told me some things, but they didn't mention that there was also a Celestial Venerable."

“Shen Yao’s father is a Celestial Venerable, and she is a Celestial Saint.” Tu Xiaoxiao said with her arms crossed, “Her husband is a Celestial Ancestor, but I don’t think he can necessarily beat me.”

Tu Ruanruan: "Second brother invited them here to fight?"

Tu Xiaoxiao: "No, I promised Shen Yao that I would help her husband heal his scars."

"Oh?" Tu Ruanruan squinted and asked Tu Xiaoxiao, "Conditions?"

Tu Xiaoxiao revealed a mysterious smile: "Third sister, remember this: you can't set conditions in a deal first, or you'll suffer a loss."

Tu Ruanruan laughed, stomped hard on Tu Xiaoxiao's foot, and turned to leave: "Second brother, the patriarch said that if you don't kneel properly, then you don't need to kneel anymore. Go back to Xiaoxiang Garden as soon as possible."

Tu Xiaoxiao chuckled and teleported to catch up with Tu Ruanruan: "I knew it. With your second brother being so handsome, the patriarch would never be willing to punish me."

"Third sister, where are you going now?"

Tu Ruanruan quickened her pace: "Go to your Xiaoxiang Garden, find Shen Yao, and have her rub my tail. I've been waiting all day. Jiaojiao has enjoyed it, and I want to enjoy it too."
