When the family went through the door of their house, they found themselves appearing in an austere room without anything other than a praying matt, they looked at each other before Li Cheng said:

"This is my personal cultivating place, you three can go ahead, I will wait for your mother here."

"Lets go then."

Li Kun led his brother and sister outside leaving their father behind.

After a while, Li Ying appeared in the dark room, she was holding a simple pendant on her hand. Father Li sighed seeing it and said:

"Are you worried about her in the end?"

"How could I not be? We are still family in the end. You know the stubbornness of the women in my family, even Li Ya who seem so carefree now wouldn't budge on her decision if she had decided on it."

There was some bitterness in her voice, but there was nothing that could be done, when her father passed away, she tried to bring that old woman to live with them but her mother's temper was even worse than hers, she said 'Do you take me for a senil old woman, I can still take care of myself!' They ended separating on that dispute.

Li Cheng said to comfort her:

"Your mother can deal with anything coming to her, you don't have to worry, there are still your elder brother here, they should visit her from time to time."

"I hope so."

With that they also walked out of the dark room.

………………

Outside, the three siblings were a bit apprehensive, there were some girls wearing maid servant attire looking at them respectfully, in front of them was a man in a buttler suite, they heard from Xiao Ling'er that he was the head steward of the Li clan, surnamed Han that served directly under their father, but they didn't get any other information (They didn't listen to her), the guy gave a respectful bow followed by the maid saying:

"Young masters, young mistress."

The three that came from a normal household didn't know how to react, they could only look at each other, in the end Li Yun was the most daring as he said arrogantly:

"You can rise your heads."

Steward Han didn't raise his head, and the maids also kept bowing. Li Yun could only bit the bullet and keep his head high waiting for what was to come.

Li Ya and Li Kun showed a look of admiration, it wasn't given for anyone to act so pretentious while getting ignored, as expected of their little brother, he was already inside the character. Time seemed to freeze when, the door behind opened again, and father Li and his wife walked out of it.

The servants knelt down on the ground while Steward Han kept his head down, the air seemed to become even heavier.

Li Cheng gulped his saliva seeing this, from the way they acted it was obvious that they were doing it because of him, but he was a man who led people before so he said calmly:

"You can raise your heads."

"Yes, Master."

Steward Han then raised his head cautiously, he was surprised by the Master's attire but he didn't dare say anything.

In the end Li Ying took control of the situation, she asked for the three to be sent to their residences by the maids while steward Han would bring her and Li Cheng to theirs.

They then followed a maid respectively to their place to change and follow the planing for the day.

………………….

In the residing place for servants after the maids sent the young lords in their residences.

The maids that were here began to talk amongst themselves.

"Did you hear? Young master Li Yun addressed himself to the servants today."

"Are you joking?! It's young master Li Yun we are talking about, he won't even acknowledge our presence."

"It come from reliable source, the cousin of the relative of a past classmate of mine was here when they came out of the Venerable Master's cultivation room."

"Are you sure? It must be true then!"

"I also know something. But, you must keep it a secret." A maid then said in a whisper, while looking left and right to be sure that no one was listening to them:

"The Venerable Master and the Madam went to the same room while wearing sleeping wear!"

"Ohhh! This is a big news indeed."

Several hours later, it was said in a teahouse in a city in the blue river region that the Tyrant Saber God was waiting for a new son, and the youngest of his son was trying to find a companion to fill the parental love he is about to lose.

…………..

A black luxurious car was parked before a very huge huge mansion hung on a very high mountain, the family was seated in the backseat that was as big as two tables in a family restaurant. Such a wonderful use of spacial magic, now everyone could sit comfortably without worrying about space.

Head steward Han was the one conducting today, he was asked personally by his master so he took the responsibility very seriously. Even in death he wouldn't leave the steering wheel!

'Swish' the car began to rise in the air and shot in the distance in a flash of light

Behind, Li Ya began to ask in a whisper:

"Father, isn't steward Han the first responsible in the house, is it fine to bring him with us as a driver?"

Li Cheng sighed:

"What do you know, do you think I would be able to ask for someone whose name I don't know to drive for us?"

"Aren't you speaking a bit too loud?"

"Don't worry, I used my spiritual sense to seal this place, no one would be able to hear any sound even if you screamed as loud as you could."

If you stumble upon this tale on Amazon, it's taken without the author's consent. Report it.

"As expected of you father, you have a already adapted to this world and your position." Li Yun interrupted their conversation saying in admiration.

Father Li showed a confident smile hearing the praise, but it was deflated quickly.

"You have a meeting with the elder in the corporation today, do you know how to deal with it?" asked Li Ying.

Li Cheng sighed again:

"With my current cultivation, it's actually very easy to know about the whole situation and it's not hard to deal with it, the problem is with the people. I can say it with confidence that the only reason they didn't rebel yet is because they are sure that they would just be losing their heads with a draw of my saber. What a great Saber god!"

"So, do you have any plan to deal with them?" Asked Li Ya worriedly.

He showed a faint smile:

"Don't look down on your father, I may not know how to dominate a whole region, but dealing with people is my forte, in the end it is only a problem of profits, as long as that's rectified they would turn around and say how wise I am."

They soon reached a very luxurious hotel in the city, their outing today wasn't just to deal with father Li's work, Li Kun was keeping mum since they left the mansion now. Indeed, it was time to meet his fiancee!

Did it have to come this fast? Well, they were engaged since five years ago, any woman even the most unfeeling one would be intrigued by her future husband right?

They walked out of the car wearing traditional cloths that looked not only very elegant but very hard to move in. But everyone here was a cultivator something like that wouldn't be a problem for them.

Several attendants were waiting outside, as expected of the most famous family in the region, as they walked inside looking like some celebrities walking on the red carpet, no one dared to make any deplaced remark, even though the most beautiful fairy in the blue river region was holding a very fat cat while walking inside. What was wrong with that, it wouldn't shake their professionalism even if they entered on the back of a camel.

A young woman in her mid twenty walked up to them and bowed respectfully saying:

"Welcome to the Hundred blossoms House dear guest, we are very honored to receive you today, if you could follow me please, the Meng family were already sent in the Crystal room."

The family kept their bearing and followed her to the so called Crystal room, on their way here Li Yun couldn't help looking at the woman leading them from time to time, as a young man he was very intrigued by her particular assets, she had very large foxes ears on the head, very intriguing indeed…..

Soon they reached the Crystal room, it wasn't a room made of Crystal, no one would be able to talk about important thing while being seen by all the passerby walking by, it was the room of the highest level reserved for the most important guests of the hotel.

……………..

The room was refreshing, while giving a traditional feeling, inside a middle-aged man and a beautiful girl were seated, the man was steady like mount Tai, with some grey hairs he was giving a stern feeling, while the woman was like a beautiful picture on a painting, distant yet so close she had long brown hair that reached her waist but they had a green hue showing their she wasn't purely human.

When the Li family entered, Sword Saint Meng Qian looked at them with a sharp glance; as the greatest swordsman in the continent, he was very confident with his judging eyes that was rumored to be all seeing, he wouldn't leave even a single detail slip by!

The first to come in was a familiar face, it was Tyrant Saber God Li Cheng, he had seen him last year at the meeting of the Ten Greats to discuss about the situation in the continent, but the feeling he got was subtly different from before, something had changed indeed! The man that seemed like a unstealthed saber back then, now looked full of tranquil power. He was trying to act like before but how could he deceive him the Sword Saint!

'This man kept on getting more and more terrifying, if it wasn't me it would be hard to see that he took another great leap in his cultivation...'

The next that came in was Madam Li, Li Cheng's wife, she was as calm and humble as rumored but what was this strange feeling? It seemed that she held some great influence on her husband…..

The next to come in was Li Yun and Li Ya, they indeed showed a great promise for the future making him sigh at Li Cheng's luck.

But his daughter wasn't losing to them in the slightest she was able to keep her temperament despite the situation, for such a great daughter she must have a great father…

The last to come in was the one he put the greatest attention, it was his future son in law. A very handsome young man walked in wearing a very serious face as if he was ready face his death, from his expression you could infer that nothing would shake his resolve. The first impression Sword Saint Meng Qian got was:

'What a fine lad!'

He had heard about him since long ago, a genius in alchemy, with great cultivation and charisma, he was leading his own business that had a great reputation in the continent making him the unquestionable leading figure of his generation; for such a young man it wouldn't be surprising that he showed some arrogance and confidence about his engagement even if it was with the daughter of the Sword Saint, but his seriousness that bordered exaggeration proved that he was taking this matter very seriously.

'Li Kun! His reputation didn't precede him.'

Father Li went to the Sword Saint and said with cupped fist:

"Fellow Daoist Meng, long time not see! You look as sharp as ever."

What did he mean by sharp? Was it some compliment to him as a swordsman?

"Fellow Daoist Li is also still full of vigor."

They talked about some pleasantries? Before they began the presentation.

"This is my daughter Meng Lin, she is the one who asked for this meeting being interested about encountering her fiance."

"Greeting Venerable Master Li, Meng Lin is very honored to meet you."

Such a refined greeting came from the young lady, she looked posed like a flower, and didn't try to impose herself.

"I've heard a lot of good things about you from your father."

The other members of the family then presented themselves until it was Li Kun's turn.

"Greeting Venerable Master Meng, greeting fairy Meng, I am the eldest son Li Kun, it is an honor to meet the both of you."

He was showing courtesy and waiting for the judgement, while thinking inside:

'I shouldn't have read those things, what do you mean by the river flow thirty years in right, thirty years in left?! It always flow in the same way okay!'

The Meng father and daughter gave back the courtesy the former showing a light smile.

As the discussion warmed up, Father Li began to say:

"I have a meeting with the elders in the company today, how about coming with me Fellow Daoist Meng? We will be family so there no need to act courteous, I am looking forward for your advices."

The Sword Saint was indeed sharp understanding his meaning.

"Since Brother Li asked me like that, it would be impolite to refuse, you don't need to act polite either, you can call me brother Meng."

"Then I won't be polite brother Meng, you can follow me."

The two men then excused themselves and left like the wind befitting of the members of the Ten greats.

Soon mother Li also excused herself saying that the youngster should interact amongst themselves.

Li Ya ran away talking about how Hong Xi was not feeling well, while Li Yun left saying he was going to get some fresh air his head held high.

The silence reigned.

It was the legendary leave the two youngsters alone, what a considerate family they had.

Li Kun was about to cry, but he held it, he could be proud of himself.

As the saying goes by, the first to move will take the win, so he took the initiative and talked:

"It's a nice weather right?"

What are you talking about? So shameful.

"It's a nice weather indeed, I envy you people living in the south, the weather in the east is ever-changing, it's good to see the rain sometimes but if it's too frequent the air become melancholic."

What a turn of the situation, she was willing to answer to his dumb question.

"Fairy Meng came from the Eternal forest region, it is said to be full of exotics plants and unknown beasts, it must be very entertaining every day."

"Haha, you are exaggerating Young Lord Li. It is not as great as you may think."

"I don't deserve the title of Young Lord, you can just call me Li Kun."

"Then I must reciprocate the invitation, you can also call me Meng Lin."

Such a heartwarming scene! He must have not thought that she would be so attentive and agreeable to talk to, maybe his fated star was before him right now.

As the discussion continued, Li Kun couldn't help but feel that she was familiar as if he had listened to her smooth talk before, but where?

It came back to him suddenly, he then said with a smile:

"Do Miss Meng like podcasts on the radio?"

The air seemed to come to a standstill. Wasn't this room from the highest level? how come the air conditioning was so bad, it was getting colder and colder…..
