Chapter 745: Chapter 724: Extra: Master’s Days in the Modern Era

While Jin Lin and the others were surprised by Tantai Yan’s youthful appearance, Tuanzi was already hanging in her master’s arms, introducing her home to him.

The aura of immortal grace was tinged with a faint helplessness.

"Is this how you introduce your home?"

Tantai Yan deliberately let go, but Tuanzi wasn’t afraid and continued to cling to his neck.

Her eyes were still red, but her emotions were already adjusted, and she proudly raised her chin, "No way, Master, you’re a big liar, that’s exactly how I should introduce to big liars!"

Tuanzi originally planned to hold her master’s hand and take a tour of the house. But she remembered the past, how Master actually left the Spirit Jade for her, and hadn’t planned on coming over!

The more she thought about it, the angrier she became. Her tiny face filled with the joy of reunion and the anger of being deceived.

An angry Tuanzi gave her master a fierce headbutt.

The powerful Inner Strength not only blocked the attack but also mitigated the pain for the other person.

Touching her own forehead, Tuanzi pouted and said arrogantly, "Master must be feeling guilty. If it were before, you’d definitely watch Miaomiao roll in pain and then laugh loudly at her!"

Indeed guilty, Tantai Yan looked at the few disciples.

The disciples looked at the sky and the ground, avoiding his gaze.

Ever since the little sister remembered how Master left the Spirit Jade, she had been loudly complaining about it at home.

The elder brothers naturally comforted her, but they were a bit angry too. Master arranged for them so perfectly, allowing them who originally had no family to come together as one family, yet forgot his own needs.

This kind of Master should be taught a lesson, to think more about himself when doing things in the future, instead of just them.

Tantai Yan cursed a few times in his heart, but considering it was his first meeting with the little disciple’s family, he held back and managed to greet Jin Lin and the others calmly.

Jin Lin and the others restrained their surprise, enthusiastically inviting him inside, and even, at their daughter’s eager urging, inviting Tantai Yan to stay over.

Tantai Yan was always considerate, which is why he asked his third disciple to bring some gold or jade jewelry to sell.

He had long treated his disciples as his own family. But regardless of the other disciples, at least the little disciple had her real family.

Despite feeling a bit sour, he planned to keep an appropriate distance. Even among family, there are closeness and distance.

Tuanzi didn’t expect he would think this way, but she had cleverly hinted to her parents and older brothers.

Jin Lin and his wife took the initiative in inviting him, not due to the little disciple’s coaxing, which made it hard for Tantai Yan to refuse, so he stayed.

That evening, they all celebrated a lively New Year’s Eve together. Those who could cook, except for Zhen Haowei, went to the kitchen to help, collaborating on a grand feast.

During dinner, Tuanzi chewed on stewed, tender beef brisket and muttered indistinctly, "This is the happiest New Year’s Eve Miaomiao has ever had!"

Last year’s New Year’s Eve was spent with her older brothers, and though it was fun, there were no parents, masters, or brothers. Before, living in ancient times, also happy with Master, it still wasn’t complete without other family members or brothers.

With a piece still in her mouth, she stuffed in another, continuing to mumble, "I hope every New Year’s Eve will be so happy... cough cough!"

She choked, tears welling up.

Jin Lin and Tantai Yan, sitting beside her, immediately patted her back and simultaneously said, "Don’t talk while eating."

As the words fell, they exchanged a glance, each seeing the parental sternness in the other’s eyes.

Gu Feng, slower: "..."

The Film Emperor peeked at his master secretly.

Throughout the rest of the meal, every time Tuanzi spoke with her mouth full, Tantai Yan would glare at her sternly. Whenever Tuanzi ate a vegetable she didn’t want to eat, he showed praise. Whenever Tuanzi wanted to eat fish without fear of choking, he’d mutter while picking out fish bones for her.

Gu Feng always lagged behind, unable to help but complain inwardly about the quickness of martial artists’ hands.

After finishing the meal, they watched TV and played together. The brothers were sent home by Tantai Yan, while he returned to his bedroom.

Jin Lin couple’s room.

After washing up, Gu Feng lay in bed and spoke as if he had swallowed ten tons of lemons.

"Speaking of it, Miaomiao has lived with Master longer."

Jin Lin, replying to New Year messages, paused.

She put down her phone, carefully observing her husband, then reached out to rub his face.

"Why have you turned into a lemon? Lemon faces are not handsome."
