Si Family in the Immortal Realm.

Actually, the Si Family couldn't be called a truly great family because their population had never been flourishing. In this generation, the entire legitimate line of the Si Family only consisted of twenty-some people.

However, there were numerous collateral branches and vassal families affiliated with the Si Family, which led to a problem—that is... the servants overpowering the master.

About seventy percent of the Si Family's resources were in the hands of those collateral branches and vassal families. The true legitimate line held only about thirty percent.

But it was precisely because the legitimate line had so few people that they were exceptionally united!

Moreover, the legitimate line held the true top-tier heart methods and cultivation techniques of the Si Family, as well as various alchemy recipes and artifact forging formulas. These... were where the core value of the Si Family truly lay. Although those collateral branches and vassal families had always desired to own these things for themselves, every head of the Si Family had been very clever and powerful. They kept these things firmly under their control.

Thus, even now, although the main line of the Si Family still didn't have many people, their status... remained unshakable!

The head of the Si Family was named Si Fengmang, and he was also Si Tutu's father.

Si Tutu had three older brothers, and she was considered a true princess within the Si Family. She was very favored.

In this generation, the Si Family could even be considered to have a booming population, with each of Si Tutu's three brothers taking on the important task of expanding the family line, which is why each of them had many wives and concubines.

As a result, Si Tutu's three blood brothers hardly involved themselves in the family's management. Their most important duty was to bear more children for the Si Family!

It appeared that their efforts had been quite successful. Now, counting the children, the main line of the Si Family had almost a hundred people.

Today should be considered a very rare occasion for the Si Family... when the main line's members were gathered very completely.

From the oldest elders to the three-year-old children, all were assembled here at the Si Family's ancestral hall.

Si Fengmang sat in the position of the head of the family, with five chairs placed on his side, each occupied by an elder of the Si Family.

"I've convened everyone today because of one matter," Si Fengmang said in a deep voice, "a matter whose outcomes I cannot determine as good or bad. If it turns out well, it might allow our Si Family to rise high into the clouds from this moment on! Not to mention making a name for ourselves in the Immortal Realm, even fame in the Heavenly Realm... is not impossible. As for the current situation of the servants bullying the master, that would hardly be worth mentioning."

No one interjected, they all quietly looked at Si Fengmang.

Si Fengmang continued, "But if things do not develop in a favorable direction, then... our Si Family might descend into an irrecoverable catastrophe!"

Some of the uninformed showed shocked expressions on their faces.

Si Fengmang's eldest son, Si Lengyue, furrowed his brows and said, "Father, I'm somewhat unclear. Does this matter already have a deep connection with our Si Family?"

Si Fengmang shook his head and replied, "As of now, it's not deeply connected, but it has a deep relationship with your sister."

"Tutu?" Si Lengyue, who sported a beard shaped like the character for eight, appeared to be in his late thirties and was also quite handsome. Standing up, he pondered and asked, "Does it have to do with that Chu Mo?"

Although they seldom got involved in family affairs, this didn't mean they were oblivious to everything. Si Tutu's brothers, in fact, were quite outstanding.

Si Fengmang nodded, "Indeed, it is related to Chu Mo. Tutu has sent out a call for help, asking the family to dispatch all of its experts to get involved in this matter. However, Tutu also mentioned that this matter is risky. If Chu Mo manages to survive, then... from then on, our Si Family will surely soar into the clouds! But if Chu Mo is truly captured... or if some accident were to happen..."

Inside the ancestral hall of the Si Family, there was a quietness as the elders furrowed their brows in thought. Some of the younger family members wore expressions of curiosity; they didn't have the right to speak, nor did they understand what this matter had to do with them.

As for the children, they understood even less. If not for the fear of family discipline, they probably couldn't have stayed still.

After a long while, an old man beside Si Fengmang's left hand, who was the First Elder of the Si Family, Si Fengmang's third uncle, and a peak cultivation master who had chosen not to ascend to the Heavenly Realm, leaving his life expectancy to dwindle in the Immortal Realm, chimed in. He had been a cornerstone of the Si Family.

The First Elder, who had been sitting with his eyes half open, finally opened them fully and glanced at everyone before turning his head to Si Fengmang and saying, "Actually, this is a small matter. What did the girl say?"

The girl, Xiao Ya, was Si Tutu, a term of endearment used by the older members of the Si Family for Si Tutu.

"The girl said that her master asked her to serve as a little maid for Chu Mo," Si Fengmang said with a somewhat helpless bitter smile, "She herself is willing to do it."

"Our vision, you know, is not wide enough. To speak the truth, in the Immortal Realm, we are considered top figures. But if we really ended up in the Heavenly Realm... what would we amount to? Nothing!" The First Elder spoke slowly with a calm tone, "If Chu Mo can truly develop to the heights that the girl's master mentioned, then I think it's worth gambling our treasures on him."

"That's what I think too," the Second Elder, sitting beside the First Elder, nodded and added, "We old fellows have been dormant for too many years, and our life expectancy is nearly exhausted. We don't wish to endure the tribulations of ascending, so it's better to make a final contribution to the family. If our Si Family can really gain a standing in the Heavenly Realm in the future... heh heh, don't forget to place our spirit tablets there to enjoy the incense offerings from the Heavenly Realm!"

The words of the First Elder and the Second Elder had essentially set the tone for this matter!

Not only had the Si Family decided to get involved, but they also decided to protect Chu Mo at all costs!

Si Fengmang's eyes reddened slightly, he took a deep breath, rose to his feet, and bowed deeply to the First Elder and the Second Elder, "No matter what happens, you two are the ancestors of the Si Family!"

"Let's go, old fellows, it's time to let some people know that old fellows aren't so easy to mess with," the First Elder declared as he stood up.

The Second Elder said, "Tell the girl to give us a direction!"

At this moment, Si Lengyue said in a timid voice, "Dad, I want to go too, I'm worried about little sister."

Si Lengxing, the second eldest, also added, "Yeah, dad, we want to go too..."

"All of you stay put at home! You're not allowed to go anywhere!" Si Fengmang glanced at his three sons, "When your future generations abound, then you can travel the world!"

Si Lengyue, Si Lengxing, and Si Lengfeng, the three brothers, looked at each other, all with faces of utter dejection.

They felt their fate was too tragic, as if their lives were destined to be spent under the control of women... Once, they thought this kind of life was quite nice. So many sought after it in vain... but gradually, the three brothers realized just how terrifying this situation was.

When your life is left only with women, even if you have no worries for food and clothing, and plenty of money to squander, the emptiness and loneliness are not something ordinary people can comprehend.

By contrast, they envied their little sister, Si Tutu, very much. She could run around anywhere, see the great landscapes of the Immortal Realm; she was truly living a blessed life!
