486: Bring Tongtian back and announce the grand adult competition.

"That's roughly the situation."

Somewhere in the back mountain, Su Yunfeng sat there and told Su Hao and Ye Qianqian about the situation.

The expressions of the two changed drastically upon hearing this.

"Old Ancestor, is this true? Chener and Lan'er are the Rebirths of powerful Cultivators?"

Su Yunfeng nodded silently. Originally, he hadn't intended to tell them, but this kind of thing couldn't be hidden forever. To avoid them losing emotional control later, it was better to tell them in advance so they could be mentally prepared.

"I have consulted many ancient texts these past few days. Some powerful Cultivators possess Heaven-Defying power; they can change their fate against the heavens to live another life, bringing with them the memories and treasures of their previous lives. This is completely different from the ordinary Reincarnation of a Cultivator."

Su Hao and his wife's expressions flickered. Although they had long noticed that Su Chen and the other were incredibly intelligent, they had always assumed it was due to their extraordinary natural talent and had never thought of it this way.

But hearing these words, their hearts felt very heavy.

If they were powerful figures with memories of a past life, were they still their children?

Ye Qianqian hesitated for a moment, then said somewhat stubbornly, "But even if they are the Rebirth of powerful experts, they still came out of my womb. Are they not still my own flesh and blood?"

Su Hao hesitated for a moment before echoing her sentiment.

"Yes, no matter what, these two children are our flesh and blood. Even if they don't recognize us, can we as parents not recognize them?"

Su Yunfeng was somewhat surprised; he hadn't expected them to have such a mindset.

He wore a smile; actually, this was for the best. His only worry was that they wouldn't be able to accept it and would go to question Su Chen and Su Lan.

That would have made the relationship turn sour.

Su Yunfeng nodded. "Do not speak of this matter today. You both know how significant this is for the Su Family."

"Greetings, Old Ancestor!"

Suddenly, a voice rang out from outside the courtyard.

Su Yunfeng's brow furrowed slightly as he said, "Come in."

A middle-aged man dressed in black robes entered. This was the intelligence force cultivated by Su Yunfeng, specifically for gathering information for him.

The black-clad man handed over a Recording Bead and said respectfully,

"Old Ancestor, this is regarding Young Master Su Chen. You will need to see the specifics for yourself."

Hmm?

Su Yunfeng raised an eyebrow. What matter was so mysterious that he had to see it for himself?

He poured Immortal Qi into the Recording Bead, and the recorded events immediately appeared before his eyes.

What was recorded was exactly the scene of Su Chen walking out of the black market and subsequently slaughtering everyone in his path, easily obliterating three True Immortals.

This... Su Yunfeng's expression became extremely solemn. He confirmed repeatedly that this was indeed Su Chen.

Seeing this recorded video, he was almost certain that Su Chen was exactly as he had guessed.

He was absolutely the Rebirth of some terrifying powerhouse!

The black-clad man added, "I was at the scene myself. Young Master Su Chen's aura was also off; he has the cultivation of an Earth Immortal."

An Earth Immortal!?

Su Yunfeng's brow furrowed tightly. To be able to easily obliterate True Immortal Cultivators with only an Earth Immortal cultivation, and to kill three True Immortals so effortlessly—just what kind of methods was he using?

Su Yunfeng was only a Profound Immortal Cultivator, so naturally, he couldn't see the secrets within Su Chen.

Su Hao and Ye Qianqian were also watching from the side, both shocked speechless. Was this still their Chener, who usually looked somewhat harmless to humans and animals?

At this moment, the two were also completely convinced that what the Old Ancestor said was definitely true.

Su Chen really might be the Rebirth of a powerful figure.

Although it was hard to accept, the facts were right there before them.

Su Yunfeng, on the other hand, was somewhat excited. In his eyes, the interests of the Family were above all else. As long as the Su Family could grow, personal interests were actually of little consequence.

"Treat everything as normal from now on. Whether my Su Family can rise depends on the two of you."

Su Yunfeng's expression was solemn, and his eyes held a hint of entreaty as he looked at Su Hao and his wife.

Su Hao and Ye Qianqian quickly stood up. "There is no need for that, Old Ancestor. We are all members of the Su Family and will naturally prioritize the big picture."

Su Yunfeng's devotion to the Su Family was clear to them; how could they destroy the possibility of the Family's prosperity because of their own emotions?

Seeing them say this, Su Yunfeng felt at ease.

Through previous interactions, neither Su Lan nor Su Chen seemed like cold or ungrateful people. As long as they were valued, would they not help the Su Family if it faced difficulties in the future?

If one of them could become the head of the Su Family, wouldn't the Su Family take flight immediately?

...It had been three months since Ye Lan returned to the Su Family.

Her perception of Su Chen had also undergone a world-shaking change. At first, she thought her master was just all talk.

But through this brief period of time together, she discovered that Su Chen really wouldn't do anything to her, and he almost never made demands of her normally.

This was completely different from what she had imagined.

When she was first being auctioned, she thought she was finished, likely destined to become someone's plaything and live a miserable life.

But now, it seemed that was not the case.

Staying in this courtyard, aside from not being very free, everything else was very good; at least she lived comfortably.

Time passed slowly.

Because the strength Su Chen had displayed previously was too terrifying, Xu Yining did not pursue the matter further—or rather, he didn't dare to, for fear of offending some terrifying powerhouse.

Peaceful days passed quickly.

In the blink of an eye, another five years or so passed.

Su Chen's body had completely filled out. Standing nearly 1.9 meters tall, he looked slender and wore a green robe, appearing like a jade Young Master stepped out of a painting, handsome and dashing.

However, because he was not yet old, there was still a hint of youthfulness on his face.

"Ye Lan!"

Su Chen spoke slowly, his voice gentle yet with a slight magnetic quality; this voice alone was enough to make women swoon.

Ye Lan quickly stepped forward and asked with some confusion, "Master?"

Through their contact over these years, the relationship between her and Su Chen had completely become one of master and servant.

However, nothing substantial had happened between the two, though Ye Lan had already tacitly accepted their relationship.

Besides that, while Su Chen had changed a lot, so had Ye Lan.

Her three tails had grown much larger, their fur extremely soft. Her figure was slender and graceful, standing nearly 1.7 meters tall with perfect proportions, and her beauty was enough to topple cities; a single glance was enough to make one lose themselves.

Su Chen looked at the fish swimming in the pond and said in a calm voice, "Please go tell my father to promote the Su Family's Adult Competition more in Jueyang City. It's best if it becomes known to everyone."

Ah?

Ye Lan's cute and exquisite face held a hint of confusion. Why do this?

"As you command!"

After saying that, she trotted out of the courtyard.

Su Chen looked into the distance. After Tongtian's Rebirth, his aura was completely different. Even if Su Chen wanted to find him, it would be a bit of a hassle; it was better to simply attract him to come find himself.

Calculating by age, Tongtian should be around three or four years old by now, right?
