Ancient Fiend Dragon Emperor

Chapter 487: Chapter 454: Su Qing, Su Yao

The following morning, as the sun was just beginning to rise, nearly all the high-ranking members of the Phoenix Sect gathered at the sect residence, in the grand assembly hall.

Among them were Xiao Yuhui and the two children.

Su Han sat in the main seat, with Xiao Yuhui by his side, and the two children sat on either side of Xiao Yuhui.

This made it abundantly clear what Xiao Yuhui’s status was at the moment: besides being the Commander of the Regiment of the Divine Guardians of the Dragon Suppression, she was the Sect Master’s Wife!

The entire Phoenix Sect had long since accepted this fact; Xiao Yuhui had borne children for Su Han, and even if Su Han did not formally acknowledge her, she was still regarded as the Sect Master’s Wife in their hearts.

However, by doing this, Su Han was letting Xiao Yuhui know that he had indeed acknowledged her.

After the passionate events of the previous night and despite the passage of time, Xiao Yuhui’s cheeks were still slightly flushed with a red glow that morning, having been thoroughly cherished by Su Han’s vigor.

To the other side of Su Han, there was another chair. 𝘧𝓇ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝘣𝓃ℴ

That chair was unoccupied, as if it was intentionally placed there just for show.

It wasn’t until all the senior members were seated that Su Han lifted his gaze and looked towards a striking figure in the crowd.

”You sit here.”

Xiao Yuran was startled, feeling all eyes in the vicinity instantly focusing on her.

She looked at Su Han and then at Xiao Yuhui, and eventually sat down beside Su Han with a blushing face.

Xiao Yuhui, with a smile in her eyes, gave Xiao Yuran a glance, which made her even more bashful.

”Sect Master, all the high-ranking members of the sect are now present,” declared Lian Yuze as he rose to his feet.

As the First Elder of the Phoenix Sect, it was naturally his responsibility to manage and report all matters.

”Mm.”

Su Han nodded but did not immediately discuss official matters, turning instead to Su Yunming, ”Father, I returned in haste yesterday and did not manage to visit the Phoenix Sect. Please don’t be offended.”

”What are you talking about?”

Su Yunming feigned dissatisfaction, ”This is the assembly hall, where we must distinguish between the public and the private. Our personal matters can wait.”

”Mm,” Su Han nodded in acknowledgment.

The two children had been watching intently the whole time, as Xiao Yuhui had instructed them to do so.

While Su Han was speaking to Su Yunming, Xiao Yuhui also whispered softly, ”Do you see? The relationship between your father and yourselves is the same as between your grandfather and father. Look how respectful your father is to your grandfather? You must learn well from this, understand?”

”Mm-hmm;” both children nodded, whether they understood or not.

Yet, as those around them looked towards Su Han, the fervor in their eyes was something the children could feel.

Though they did not quite grasp the meaning of it all, they could see that their father held absolutely the highest status among these people.

Even Father Shen Li looked at their father with utmost respect.

”Yesterday, I returned to the sect rather abruptly, but today we convene this meeting to discuss four matters,” Su Han said after a moment’s contemplation.

”The first issue is that our sect now has children, but they have not yet been named, which is my oversight. Hence, today, in front of everyone, I plan to give the children their names, which will make it easier for everyone to address them in the future.”

Everyone wore a smile, eagerly awaiting Su Han’s next words.

”You, come here,” Su Han said, looking at the boy while Xiao Yuhui quickly prompted as well.

The boy, seeing so many people watching him, grew nervous for a moment, but having already met these individuals, he wasn’t afraid.

”I have named you, Su Qing,” Su Han said to the boy.

”Oh,” the boy replied.

His expression immediately made everyone around unable to hold back their laughter.

Xiao Yuhui glared, ”Won’t you thank your father quickly?”

”Qing’er thanks Father,” the boy said, obviously still quite intimidated by Xiao Yuhui, his mother.

Su Han gave a slight smile and had Su Qing stand aside, then called the girl over.

”I have named you, Su Yao,” Su Han declared.

”Yao’er thanks Father.”

The girl, on the other hand, had learned to be clever and bowed properly to Su Han before immediately standing beside Xiao Yuhui.

Everything seemed so serene and effortless, yet a near stumble as the girl approached Xiao Yuhui elicited laughter from all around them once again.

”The second matter.”

Clearing his throat, Su Han glanced at Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran, saying, ”Now that I have children of my own, it is only natural that I formally recognize my wife. From this day forward, Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran are to be the Sect Master’s Wives.”

”Yes!”

Immediately, everyone except for Su Yunming and Xiao Hengshan stood up, cupping their fists and bowing to Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran.

”We greet the Sect Master’s Wife!”

A blush swept across Xiao Yuhui’s cheeks, and she quickly motioned with her hand, ”Everyone, please sit down.”

Xiao Yuran’s cheeks were also flushed, almost dripping with color; she had never imagined that Su Han would so formally acknowledge her, let alone in front of so many people, even though they had never confirmed their relationship.

Having addressed the previous matter, Su Han stood up, walked over to Xiao Hengshan, cupped his fists in his hands, and bowed deeply.

”From this day forward, you are my father-in-law. Although we have not had the time to organize a wedding, I promise there will be one, and it will be splendid. I hope my father-in-law does not worry.”

”Stand up, stand up,” Xiao Hengshan said with a smile so broad he couldn’t contain it. Although both his daughters were marrying the same man, that man was none other than the one he was utterly pleased with.

What mattered most was that Su Han had not forced this upon him; Xiao Hengshan knew that both Xiao Yuhui and Xiao Yuran had deep feelings for Su Han.

”Su Yunming, you have an excellent son!”

Xiao Hengshan exclaimed, ”Looking back, six years ago, the Xiao Family was the foremost family in Yuanshan County. With Yuhui’s talents, we were influential, dictating right from wrong. Time flies, and six years have passed in the blink of an eye. Who would have thought that the Su Family I once looked down upon would become my in-laws? I feel ashamed, truly ashamed!”

”What’s past is past, and besides, our families have never truly been at odds, have we?” Su Yunming said with a smile.

Xiao Hengshan sighed and shook his head, his face showing even greater embarrassment.

He recalled the time when Su Han and his son first went to the Su Family, and he did not even offer Su Yunming a chair.

Perhaps Su Han and Su Yunming had forgotten this incident, but Xiao Hengshan always kept it in his heart, never to be erased.

To him, it was the greatest mistake of his life!

”The third matter.”

Seeing that Xiao Hengshan and Su Yunming had nothing more to say, Su Han continued, ”I had a Fourth Order Secret Envoy from the Nine Heavens Tower bring countless Spirit Stones, and I also obtained no less than five million Demon Crystal Stones. Now, three years have passed, and it is time for you all to show me the results of your Cultivation within the Xumi Ring of the Holy Son.”
