Jiang Chen was startled and quickly reached out to catch Ye Yùwǎn, scolding with feigned anger, "What a ruckus, what if you had fallen?"
"With you here, how could I possibly fall?" Ye Yùwǎn stuck out her tongue playfully and then raised her head with pride, "Didn't you see that I've already reached the Profound Peak as a Martial Artist? How could a mere second floor make me fall?"
"Profound Peak?"
Jiang Chen was astonished for a moment, and upon closer inspection, he saw that Ye Yùwǎn indeed had reached the realm of the Profound Peak. With a thought, he immediately understood and looked at Ye Yùwǎn with tenderness, "Did you also go to Elder Yao for training? You must be exhausted, right?"
"Not tired! Jing Yi and Lin Lin are much more tired than me, they have to manage the company and participate in training!" Ye Yùwǎn gently shook her head.
Jiang Chen was taken aback and asked in surprise, "All of you went for training? Why?"
"Because we don't want to be your burden!" A gentle voice came from the entrance of the attic, and Ye Jingyi and Gong Lin walked out from inside.
"All this time, it's been you protecting us. We have repeatedly been a drag on you. Now that we have the opportunity to improve ourselves, we naturally cherish it. Even if it's just a bit of the ability to protect ourselves, it can relieve some of your pressure. None of us want to see you getting hurt and fighting desperately for us anymore!"
Ye Jingyi came next to Jiang Chen and looked at him affectionately.
Gong Lin also wore a face full of tenderness.
A warm current passed through Jiang Chen's heart; he stretched out his arms and held the three women in an embrace, holding them tightly, "Being with me has wronged you!"
"Don't say that, it's our honor to be with you!" Gong Lin covered Jiang Chen's mouth with her hand and said with emotion.
The four of them stopped speaking and held each other tightly, as if they were trying to meld their bodies into one another!
Yan Hu and the others looked at the embracing group before them, their eyes showing a touch of envy.
Wu Qianxun and Elder Ming exchanged glances, their expressions complicated.
Upon learning that Jiang Chen's Heart Demon was caused by the three women, an extreme thought flashed through their minds at the same time. But now, seeing the feelings between Jiang Chen and the three women, the thoughts in their hearts started to waver.
"Jiang Chen, they are..." Ye Jingyi gently pushed Jiang Chen away and turned to look at Wu Qianxun and the others.
"Mistresses, hello, I am Lou Qiangqiang, I'm the younger brother of big brother!" Lou Qiangqiang said with a full smile on his face, his demeanor appeared obedient, but his eyes were restless, clearly contemplating something.
"Younger brother?" Ye Jingyi and the other two women looked at Jiang Chen in surprise.
Jiang Chen smiled slightly, "This guy is chasing after Ling'er; don't be fooled by his obedient appearance. He's been called the Little Devil of the Ancient City."
"Big brother, don't ruin my chances! I was hoping the mistresses could help me chase after Ling'er!" Lou Qiangqiang said with a wry smile upon hearing this.
"You want to chase after Ling'er? Then we must scrutinize you properly for sister Ling'er's sake!" Ye Yùwǎn looked at Lou Qiangqiang up and down with a scrutinizing eye.
The three women actually knew, since Jiang Chen had brought Lou Qiangqiang to the Jiang Family, he obviously had some initial approval of him, but as mistresses, they were all too aware of how dear Ling'er was to Jiang Chen, so vetting was indeed necessary!
Lou Qiangqiang's face instantly turned bitter.
Originally, he only needed to please Jiang Chen, but now suddenly there were three more, and he had to be on good terms with them. This made Lou Qiangqiang, who used to be lawless, feel bitterly overwhelmed.
"Greetings to the three mistresses, I am Tang Wanru, a disciple of master!" Seeing that they had finished speaking with Lou Qiangqiang, Tang Wanru stepped forward and bowed deeply to Ye Jingyi and the two other women.
"Disciple? So you are the disciple Jiang Chen took in! Such a beautiful girl!" Gong Lin's eyes sparkled as she took Tang Wanru's hand and spoke with a light laugh.
A faint fluctuation passed, and everyone was stunned for a moment.
Gong Lin's brows furrowed, and she looked at Jiang Chen with confusion, "Jiang Chen, why can't I discern Wan Ru's strength? I can't probe it at all. Has she not started practicing yet?"
"Silly girl, Wan Ru is a Semi Innate Grandmaster. She will be able to make the breakthrough to Innate tonight together with Qiangqiang. You, being at the initial stage of the Earth Level as a Martial Artist, wouldn't be able to see through their strength - that would be strange!" Jiang Chen replied with amusement.
"A Semi Innate Grandmaster!?"
"What?"
"He's that strong?"
Ye Jingyi and the other two women exclaimed in surprise.
Raising her eyebrows, Ye Jingyi looked at Jiang Chen curiously, "Jiang Chen, what's your current strength?"
"Me? Semi Venerable," Jiang Chen said casually.
"Semi Venerable?"
"What?"
"You..."
The three women, Ye Jingyi included, exclaimed in disbelief, giving Jiang Chen a look of incredulity.
"What's wrong?" Jiang Chen looked at the three women with a puzzled face, not quite understanding what they were thinking.
Without answering, the three women exchanged looks, their eyes revealing a resolute expression.
They had originally thought their current strength wouldn't hold Jiang Chen back, but now they suddenly realized that Jiang Chen's disciple was on the verge of becoming an Innate Grandmaster, and Jiang Chen himself had already become a warrior at the Semi Venerable Venerable Realm. They abruptly felt that their own strength was far from enough, deeply inadequate!
"What's the matter?" Jiang Chen looked at the three women with a puzzled expression, somewhat unclear about what they were thinking.
"It's nothing," Ye Jingyi was the first to recover, she turned her head to glance at Wu Qianxun, Elder Ming, and Wu Qingshuang, and whispered, "These three are..."
"Oh, they are..." Jiang Chen introduced Wu Qianxun and the two others.
Yè Yùwǎn quietly asked, "Their strengths are...?"
"Elder Wu and Elder Ming are both Semi Venerable, and Qing Shuang is an Innate Grandmaster," Jiang Chen answered casually, inwardly muttering that these three women seemed to be getting serious about cultivation now, showing interest in everyone's realm!
The expressions on Ye Jingyi and the other two women's faces changed again, their desire to become stronger growing even firmer.
"By the way, Jiang Chen, the Wu Family has been destroyed, how do we deal with the Ge'er Family?" Gong Lin suddenly thought of something and looked at Jiang Chen with a serious expression.
Gong Lin didn't want to disrupt the atmosphere at this time, as she wished to have a good moment with Jiang Chen as well, but the Ge'er Family was a massive entity. Now that they were involved with it, they had to decide on a method of dealing with it as quickly as possible to avoid being caught off guard by any retribution from the Ge'er Family.
"I've already notified Yu Qing to go to my father's place. Jing Yi, Lin Lin, you come with me, and Yu Wan, please entertain Elder Wu and the others!" Jiang Chen instructed softly.
"Alright!"
They all nodded, and Jiang Chen led Ye Jingyi and the other lady to the loft where Jiang Minglong and his wife were, while Yè Yùwǎn led Yan Hu and the rest to Jiang Chen's loft.
"Please, have a seat. I'm going to wash some fruit." Arriving in the living room, Yè Yùwǎn greeted everyone with a smile and then turned towards the kitchen.
"Mistress, let me do it!"
"Sister-in-law, I'll go!"
Tang Wanru and Lou Qiangqiang both got up and followed her.
"I..." Wu Qingshuang also wanted to follow.
"Miss Wu, wait a moment, I have something to say!" Yan Hu extended his hand to stop Wu Qingshuang.
Wu Qingshuang paused, slightly taken aback, and sat back down on the sofa, glancing around the living room. At this moment, only Wu Qianxun, Elder Ming, and she from Unchanging Valley were left in the living room.
She suddenly realized that Yan Hu probably had something he wanted to discuss privately with the people from Unchanging Valley.
