“Father, please calm yourself!” Xue Qinghe jumped up to pacify Emperor Xue Ye before turning to Xue Beng.
“Apologise to them properly.” He gave Xue Beng a bone-chilling glare, making Xue Beng look down and tremble in a cold sweat.
“I-I am sorry for forcing you away from Heaven Dou Academy.” Xue Beng said fearfully.
“Humph! We do not need your apology!” Rong Rong harrumphed unhappily.
Hearing Xue Beng apologise, Xue Qinghe returned to his usual calm smile. He didn’t mind that Rong Rong chose not to accept it.
Ning Fengzhi smiled, “It is just a quarrel between children, do not mind it. I will formally introduce my children, as well.”
Gesturing to the closest person, Ning Yuzi, he said, “This child is Ning Yuzi, one of the future backbones of the Seven Treasure Clan.”
Emperor Xue Ye nodded his head as he looked at the young man. He was the eldest among the youngsters and had a pleasant aura to him.
He hoped that he would be able to become good friends with his similarly aged son, Xue Qinghe.
Moving on, Ning Fengzhi pointed at Rong Rong as he said, “This one is my little girl, Ning Rong Rong. She is also spoilt, and it is hard to contain her mischievous nature sometimes.”
Rong Rong pouted as she argued, “You didn’t have to add that last part! I have always been a good girl.”
Emperor Xue Ye smiled as she reminded him slightly of his daughter, while Ning Fengzhi also smiled and ignored her.
Next, he pointed at Wulin sitting beside Rong Rong, “This, is Chen Wulin, my future son-in-law.”
The other side of the table froze in an instant, Emperor Xue Ye’s jaw almost dropped to the floor from the shocking statement.
Xue Ke fixated her eyes on the young man before her, before switching to Rong Rong.
She was surprised that a princess like Ning Rong Rong was already betrothed to somebody despite her young age.
Both Xue Qinghe and Xue Beng froze for a second before returning to their previous actions.
“School Master Ning, you have already betrothed your daughter to someone?” Emperor Xue Ye asked in confirmation.
Ning Fengzhi nodded his head, “That’s right. Though it was less of my choice and more theirs.”
“Your Highness, I would like to invite you and your family to grace us with your presence for their marriage. I scheduled it for after the tournament.”
Emperor Xue Ye vigorously nodded his head, “Of course I will be there. How could I miss such an important event?”
Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xue Ye held a good relationship together, so the Heaven Dou Empire was slightly backed by the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
With the introduction of Wulin and the others, Xue Ye could see the future Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan would be reaching a golden age.
He wished he could continue to maintain this amicable relationship between the powers even when he is gone.
Glancing at his eldest son, he felt relieved as he knew there was somebody smart enough to continue his legacy.
As for his other son, he only hoped that he would live a happy life and not get in the way of his brother by causing unnecessary trouble.
Ning Fengzhi smiled once he received a confirmation from Emperor Xue Ye and moved onto Little Jing.
“This is Huli Jing, my adoptive granddaughter. She experienced a mutation during her Spirit Awakening, which slowed her physical growth by a couple of times.”
“The next two are Chen Yue and Yan Xifeng, Wulin’s wives and my adoptive daughters. They make up the Fire and Ice Phoenix Spirits.”
“This last one is Xue Mei, also Wulin’s wife and my adoptive daughter. She is also an Auxiliary System Spirit Master.”
Deathly silence enshrouded the room, whether it was Emperor Xue Ye, Xue Qinghe, Xue Ke or Xue Beng, all of them were too astonished.
Xue Ye couldn’t believe Ning Fengzhi allowed his daughter to be in a harem relationship with others and even adopted the other girls as his daughters.
Xue Ke and Xue Qinghe, being females, were also astounded by the harem relationship. After all, they were all proud women who boasted immense status.
They couldn’t imagine having to share a man with a bunch of other women. They were much too prideful.
Xue Beng was astonished and jealous more that Wulin could keep all those beautiful women in his arms.
Emperor Xue Ye didn’t know what to say in front of the children, so he tried to excuse himself with Ning Fengzhi.
“*Cough* You kids should talk and get to know each other. I need to speak with School Master Ning privately for a second.”
Emperor Xue Ye and Ning Fengzhi shared a glance before nodding, the both of them left the room, leaving the youngsters and Gu Rong alone.
Gu Rong treated it as if he was alone in the world and simply drank some wine, not minding the presence of the other children.
Xue Qinghe began making conversation with Ning Yuzi, asking what life was like in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
His soft and approachable feeling allowed Ning Yuzi to relax and speak to him comfortably.
As for the girls, they began talking to Xue Ke, trying to get her to open up to them as they spoke about random things.
While Xue Qinghe spoke with Ning Yuzi, he glanced at Xue Beng.
Seeing Xue Beng showed no interest in conversing with the Seven Treasure Clan and instead wanted to focus on his meal, Xue Qinghe smiled lightly.
Xue Qinghe showed his elegance as the crown prince and expertly induced everyone to take part in their conversations, bar Xue Beng.
He even tried to add Gu Rong to the conversation a couple of times by asking about his past adventures before he joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Evidently, everyone was interested in Gu Rong’s past, even Xue Beng’s eyes lit up a little while he kept his head down.
“There is nothing much to know about my past. I adventured the Douluo Continent for years trying to make continuous breakthroughs.”
“Eventually, I grew old and no longer had the kind of adventurous drive that I used to, so I joined the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan and had a perfect cultivating environment.”
Gu Rong took a long sip of his drink as if remembering the old times when he used to roam the continent.
All of the children looked at him with respect in their eyes. Even if he has lost his drive, he was able to reach the Titled Douluo level.
However, Wulin knew that his drive had not waned at all since his time in the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
Instead, with Wulin cleansing his body and allowing him to cultivate quickly once more, his ambitions have soared above the sky.
…
“School Master Ning, are you actually giving your daughter to a harem?” Emperor Xue Ye didn’t mind his status as he asked quickly.
“It was not my decision, to begin with. I allowed Rong Rong to go to Shrek Academy to fix her attitude, but she found him, and they got together.” Ning Fengzhi said.
“I was angry at first, but she did not break any of our clan rules, and there are some people with polygamous relations in the clan.”
Ning Fengzhi then smiled, “Rong Rong has excellent taste. Her man is a Spirit King at only fourteen years old.”
“Have you ever heard of a fourteen-year-old Spirit King? I would consider betrothing her to him even if they weren’t already together.”
Emperor Xue Ye didn’t have any way to retort Ning Fengzhi. Although it felt terrible, if he were in the same position, he would have sold his daughter in an instant.
Xue Ke is a girl, so she will likely be used for a political marriage. If her marriage could be used to gain the connection of such a talent, it would be worth it.
This got Xue Ye’s mind thinking as he turned to Ning Fengzhi, “Do you think he would be willing to take my Xue Ke?”
Ning Fengzhi took a contemplative look, before shaking his head, “I don’t know. He still dared to find one after he stole my Rong Rong!”
Ning Fengzhi had a slightly vengeful look in his eyes, but it disappeared as quickly as it appeared when he thought about Xue Mei.

He couldn’t bring himself to hate Xue Mei. She was such a good girl that often made him tea.
“If you want to try and pair them, it will have to be through their own efforts. Wulin isn’t interested in things like money and status.”
Xue Ye nodded his head, “I will tell her to try and get to know him. If they are compatible, I will immediately propose marriage.”
Ning Fengzhi smiled a little, “We may become related in the future.”
Xue Ye let out a little laugh, “That would be nice, wouldn’t it?”
…
Ning Fengzhi and Emperor Xue Ye returned to the private room after a couple of minutes, explaining that Xue Ye had some matters to sort.
With the adults leaving, it was also time for the children to go back.
Wulin didn’t play overly friendly, nor did he stay distant with Xue Qinghe.
He didn’t want to cause any trouble or suspicions by acting strange, so he sat there and made simple conversation.
Other than that, he listened to his girls talking to Xue Ke. They were able to get along quickly and become friends.
Xue Ye left, followed closely by Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke who was a little reluctant to leave her new friends.
Xue Beng got up and reached the door before turning around.
He gave Wulin a dirty look as he said, “You better watch yourself. The brighter the flame, the faster it burns out.”
Then, he left the room, slamming the door on his way out.
“That guy! How dare he threaten Brother Wulin right in front of us! Let’s go and teach him a lesson!” Rong Rong stomped her foot angrily and was ready to move.
“Stop. Don’t worry about Xue Beng, let’s just go.” Wulin interrupted her and said, leading the way out of the room.
Ning Fengzhi didn’t say anything and followed Wulin. He didn’t want to get involved in the feud between children.
He didn’t have to worry about Wulin’s safety either, he knows he can deal with a Spirit Sage, and Xue Beng can’t move somebody of that rank.
After they left the Imperial Palace, Gu Rong opened a portal for all of them to return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Clan.
…
On the spacious bed, Wulin and his girls were all lying together.
“What did you guys think about the tea party today?” Wulin asked lightly.
“Xue Ke is a nice girl, and she doesn’t have very many friends because of her status.” Xue Mei said, feeling a little sorry for her.
“Mhm, most people that get close to her do it with ulterior motives in mind.” Little Yue agreed.
Wulin nodded his head, “What about the other two?” he wanted to know what they thought about the two princes.
“Prince Xue Qinghe is a good person, and he is very kind unlike that scum Xue Beng!” Rong Rong answered.
“That’s right. Prince Xue Qinghe also doesn’t look at us with perversion that other males do.” Feng Feng added, backing Rong Rong’s point.
“How did that Xue Beng become so bad when Xue Qinghe and Xue Ke are good people? He even dared to threaten Brother Wulin.”
The rest of the girls also agreed with the decision that Xue Qinghe was a friendly and kind person, while Xue Beng was terrible.
However, Wulin knew better than them about what Xue Qinghe’s and Xue Beng’s characters are.
“You girls are still too naïve. Xue Beng was not threatening me; he was warning me.” He said.
Intrigued by Wulin’s words, Little Jing finally lifted her head and joined the conversation, “Daddy, what do you mean he was warning you?”
