323: Chapter 323 Family Supreme Meeting! What's that girl's name?
Inside the Su Family old residence, this typically quiet and peaceful paradise was now bustling with people, exceptionally lively.
After receiving Su Feng's highest-level Family summons, the Su Family descendants dispersed across various battlefields to guard them arrived in a continuous stream, like rivers flowing into the sea.
In the originally spacious courtyard, the women had already gathered.
"Mother! What on earth happened? I was in the middle of taking back territory occupied by the Realm Demons, and Father dragged me back with just one sentence!"
Su Mo, still covered in the lingering aura of demonic malice, rushed anxiously to his mother, Yan Ling'er, and asked with a bewildered expression.
"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask?"
Yan Ling'er had specially changed into a provocative red dress today, but at this moment, she pouted resentfully, her tone so sour it could set one's teeth on edge.
"I haven't seen your heartless father in years! Who knows what kind of madness he's up to outside again."
Seeing his mother's appearance as a neglected wife in the boudoir, Su Mo couldn't help but offer a sheepish smile and wisely shut his mouth.
"Alright, Linger. Since Husband said it concerns the future of the Family, the matter must not be simple."
Beside her, Ying Yue'e wore a purple-gold Phoenix robe, looking dignified and graceful.
She scanned the crowd and analyzed calmly, "This is the first time Husband has convened a full Family meeting since our Su Family was established."
"Third Mother is right."
A flash of purple lightning streaked by, and the eldest son, Su Hao, landed steadily in front of everyone.
Although his Aptitude was no longer the highest among the Prodigy younger siblings born later, as the legitimate eldest son, his steady and overbearing aura as an elder brother still commanded great awe from the many younger generations.
Su Hao frowned slightly, "The Realm Demons have just stopped their offensive, and the front line is in a stalemate. What kind of major event could make Father call all of us back? Even those in seclusion weren't spared?"
"No need to guess blindly. When your father arrives, the answer will be revealed," Ying Yue'e said with a smile, soothing the crowd.
Afterward, she turned her head, her gaze landing on Shen Luoyu not far away. Even with her composed Heart-Nature, a flash of envy could not help but cross her eyes.
"Sister Luoyu, I haven't admired anyone in my life, but for you... I am truly impressed," Ying Yue'e exclaimed with heartfelt admiration.
Following Ying Yue'e's gaze.
One could see Shen Luoyu with a slightly protruding belly, and behind her... stood a dense crowd of over a hundred gifted Su Family descendants!
This formation was just like leading a reinforced company!
While behind them, at most, there were only five or six descendants standing.
The children Shen Luoyu had given birth to alone were several times more than all of Su Feng's other wives combined!
"I'm so envious of you..." Yan Ling'er also ran over sourly, carefully touching Shen Luoyu's belly, wishing she could rub off some of that pregnancy luck.
"Sisters, you flatter me too much. The Yin and Yang Divine Body was born to harmonize Yin and Yang and nurture offspring; I just happened to have a matching Physique."
Although Shen Luoyu spoke modestly, the maternal radiance and sense of pride on her beautiful face could not be concealed no matter what.
"Eh? Where did Chen'er go?"
Shen Luoyu looked around and asked Ying Yue'e in confusion, "Now that almost everyone has arrived, even Ting Xin and Wu Qin are back, why don't I see Chen'er?"
Hearing this, Ying Yue'e also frowned slightly.
As the actual helmsman of the current Su Family, Su Chen's outstanding administrative ability was evident to all.
To manage this massive Family estate for Su Feng, he sacrificed a great deal of Cultivate time, yet his prestige within the Family was extremely high.
"He just sent a message saying he is handling an important matter and will be here soon..."
Ying Yue'e's words had just fallen.
"Mother~~"
A stream of light tore through the Void Realm, and Su Chen's figure landed slightly unsteadily in front of Ying Yue'e.
Everyone looked closely and was somewhat stunned.
One could see that Su Chen, who was usually meticulous, not only had slightly messy hair, but his handsome face was flushed with an unnatural redness, and even his breathing seemed somewhat rapid and disordered.
"Chen'er, why is your aura so restless?" Ying Yue'e saw the abnormality in her son at a glance and asked with some concern.
"Cough, cough... It's, it's nothing."
Su Chen swallowed with a guilty conscience, struggling to circulate his immortal power to calm the agitation within his body, and laughed dryly with shifty eyes, "Just now... just now the child was at a critical stage of Breakthrough, and the blood and Qi were just surging a bit."
"I see."
Ying Yue'e did not think too deeply into it; instead, she heartfully straightened her son's lapels and taught him carefully.
"Cultivate is not a matter of one day; one must not seek quick success and damage the Foundation. Although your father is strict, he would never want you to push yourself too hard."
"Yes... Mother is right, the child will remember." Su Chen wiped the cold sweat from his forehead, looking like a good boy, though his legs still seemed a bit weak.
In a pavilion not far away, mother and daughter Ao Cangyue and Ao Tingxin were watching this scene with smiles.
The two older brothers, Su Long and Su Qin, were surrounding their little sister Su Qi, inquiring about her well-being and stuffing all sorts of strange defensive Magic Treasure into her hands.
The entire Su Family old residence was filled with a reassuring warmth and prosperity.
At this very moment!
"Hum——!!!"
A terrifying space-time fluctuation that transcended all realms rippled outward!
Su Feng, in white clothes, appeared before everyone with Empress Jiuyou by his side.
"Swish——!"
Hundreds of gazes from the entire crowd instantly converged over.
Even Empress Jiuyou, who had long been accustomed to being the center of attention, felt a rare sense of scalp-tingling numbness when facing the Su Family harem group and the army of descendants.
She coughed lightly in an unnatural way, moved her feet discreetly, and silently retreated back into the crowd of female relatives like Ying Yue'e, pretending to be an invisible person.
Su Feng stood on the high platform, his gaze sweeping over the familiar and energetic faces below, finally settling on those hundred or so descendants.
He sighed heavily.
This sigh was full of vicissitudes, as if bearing some heavy burden.
Su Feng beckoned, signaling wives like Lin Qingxue, Yan Ling'er, and Ying Yue'e to stand behind him.
The descendants looked at each other, the smiles on their faces gradually fading.
With Father having this expression, could it be that the Realm defense line has completely collapsed?!
"Children."
Su Feng stood with his hands behind his back, his tone unprecedentedly solemn and deep:
"The situation in the Star Domain is severe, and the Realm Demons may launch an attack at any time. The time left for us is truly not much."
Upon hearing this, Su Hao, Su Mo, and the others straightened their backs, their eyes burning with Battle Intent, ready to die for the Family at any moment.
Su Feng looked at them and continued, "I know that for these past few hundred years, for the sake of the Family's honor, you have all been extremely diligent in your Cultivate, and not one of you has wasted your time."
"You are fighting outside, striving and struggling for the Family; I have seen it all."
"But..."
Su Feng's tone shifted abruptly, unexpectedly carrying a trace of heartbroken accusation:
"When you were only focused on risking your lives in Cultivate, did you ever consider the feelings of us parents?!"
"Huh???"
As soon as these words were spoken.
Not only were the hundred or so children below, including Su Hao and Su Mo, completely stunned.
Even the wives standing behind Su Feng, including Ying Yue'e and Tu Shan Ya, were collectively filled with question marks!
What's the situation?
Wasn't the conversation just about the Realm Demons' invasion?
How did the channel suddenly switch to a Family ethics and emotional mediation program?!
This plot twist gave everyone whiplash!
Just as the whole scene fell into a dead silence and everyone was brainstorming.
Su Feng's deep eyes, like two sharp swords, precisely locked onto Su Chen, who was still quietly rubbing his lower back in the crowd.
"Chen'er."
Su Feng's voice was not loud, but it echoed clearly in everyone's ears, "Come forward; Father has something to ask you."
"Gulp."
Su Chen, having been called by name, felt his heart twitch violently, and an extremely ominous premonition instantly enveloped his whole body.
Father just said "not one of you has wasted your time"...
But he himself just now... not only wasted time, but wasted it very thoroughly!
Could it be... that Father knows about his business??
"Fa... Father."
Su Chen bit the bullet and walked to the high platform, "You called for the child... what are your instructions?"
Su Feng stared at Su Chen's guilty face.
The atmosphere in the great hall was suppressed to the extreme; everyone did not even dare to breathe.
However, the next words made everyone's gaze turn in unison toward Su Chen.
"Chen'er, tell Father, what is that girl's name?"
