Super War God in the City

He Feiman heard the noise and her face immediately lit up with a smile as she saw the door swing open. A lively girl around the age of fifteen or sixteen bounced out.

Ling Fan fixed his gaze, noting the girl's delicate features. Upon seeing He Feiman, she rushed over, appearing very excited.

"You little rascal, how's your martial arts training been, haven't been slacking, have you!" He Feiman lightly tapped the girl's head.

"Not at all, Mother supervises me every day. It's just unfortunate that my talents are mediocre; I'm still at Second Grade realm!" the girl said, her face falling as she lowered her head in dismay.

Suddenly, she lifted her head and looked curiously at Ling Fan, "Cousin, this must be your husband, right!"

He Feiman's face flushed with embarrassment and just as she was about to explain, another figure emerged from the doorway, "Xiao Man has already found a match, how time flies, all these years have just blinked by!"

He Feiman turned to look, noticing the woman bore a striking seven- or eight-point resemblance to her own mother; it was indeed her aunt, Miao Lian.

"Auntie, don't listen to Huaiyu's nonsense!" He Feiman quickly interjected, sneaking a glance at Ling Fan involuntarily.

"Hehe, you girl, feeling shy about having a boyfriend? Your aunt isn't an outsider. It's okay if his background isn't great, what matters most is that he knows how to cherish his wife!" Miao Lian said with a smile.

She had just glanced at Ling Fan and saw that although the young man was handsome, his attire was extremely simple and he lacked an imposing aura, which likely meant he didn't come from a highly distinguished family.

Finding it difficult to clarify, He Feiman didn't say more, and quickly introduced Ling Fan, "This is my aunt, my cousin Qi Huaiyu!"

"His name is Ling Fan!" He Feiman pointed at Ling Fan as she introduced him to Miao Lian and her daughter.

"Hehe, good, young man looks decent, come into the house!" Miao Lian hurriedly invited.

The doorman, seeing he was not needed, excused himself and exited.

As they entered the living room, which was decorated in an ancient style, and took their seats, it was the young girl Qi Huaiyu who personally brewed a pot of tea and served it.

Ling Fan couldn't help but sigh inwardly as he noted that not even a single servant had appeared to serve them, indicative of their modest status.

"Auntie, where is my uncle? Why isn't he at home!" He Feiman looked around.

"He's in the backyard practicing his swordsmanship. I've already sent someone to notify him; he should be here shortly!"

No sooner had Miao Lian finished speaking than a rough voice rang out in the living room, "It's been a while since Feiman, my niece, visited. How are your parents doing?"

A robust middle-aged man with a resolute face and a hint of valor walked in from the main door.

"Uncle!" He Feiman quickly stood up to greet.

"No need for formalities here, please take a seat!" the man said with a smile.

"And this is?" he immediately noticed Ling Fan nearby.

"Feiman's boyfriend, this young man looks promising!" Miao Lian introduced from the side.

He Feiman's cheeks reddened slightly, and she refrained from further explanations. This scene made it very clear to Miao Lian and her husband that he was undoubtedly the boyfriend.

He Feiman's uncle, Qi Liangping, then sat down and addressed Ling Fan, "Young man, when you're together, don't worry about what others think. You're still young, and as long as you're willing to work hard, there will surely be a day when you shine!"

Ling Fan smiled and said nothing. He Feiman was right; this family's temperament was indeed commendable, but unfortunately, in the Martial Arts World, only strength mattered.

"Xiao Man, though your uncle isn't very capable, I don't regret marrying him. He's very good to me, and even though he faces disdain at home, he has never once lost his temper at me!" Miao Lian's face was filled with happiness.

"I believe your mother must be happy too. Although the He Family is not accepted by her natal family, at least your father must be very good to her. If there's anyone to blame, it's the cruel world of the survival of the fittest!" Miao Lian sighed deeply.

Qi Liangping felt a pang of sorrow. What man doesn't want to be capable, to provide a better living environment for his wife and child, and to be respected when he steps outside?

However, his talents were also ordinary, and even though he worked ten times harder than others, he remained stuck in the Third Grade realm, which was why he had married into the Miao Family.

"My dad is the best man in the world!" Qi Huaiyu said as she hugged Qi Liangping's neck from behind.

Seeing his daughter, Qi Liangping's heart warmed, and he immediately turned his head. "Xiao Man, I heard that the He Family is in trouble, have you come to seek help from the Miao Family?"

He Feiman pondered for a moment and shook her head. "No, the He Family will think of other solutions. I just happened to be passing by and remembered that it's been a long time since I visited, so I came to see you and will leave after a short stay!"

"So hurried?" Miao Lian asked.

"Alas, I can't help with your He family's troubles, and I guess your uncles might not intervene either. If it really doesn't work out, you can stay here and hide for a while!" Qi Liangping felt a sense of powerlessness and was annoyed at his own incapability.

"I heard that Feiman's niece has arrived; how come you didn't sit in the front? If it weren't for the servant's report, I wouldn't have known!"

Suddenly, a harsh female voice rang from outside the door.

At these words, Qi Liangping's face turned dark, looking very upset.

Miao Lian also looked coldly toward the door, thinking to herself, "Why is she here? Wasn't she always at her in-laws' place?"

Qi Huaiyu pursed her lips, her face also displaying displeasure.

Soon, a plump middle-aged woman appeared at the door, dressed elegantly and exuding nobility.

A beautiful young girl followed behind her, with traces of harshness in her eyes resembling those of the middle-aged woman.

He Feiman's complexion slightly changed, and she stood up. "I've seen Aunt and cousin now. Feiman just arrived and hasn't had the chance to go to the front hall to see Uncle!"

The woman, named Miao Caijing, was the third oldest in the Miao Family, known for her sharp and sour nature, and didn't get along well with her mother and aunt.

She married into the stronger Heavenly Vein Hong Family, which elevated her status in the family, always overshadowing her mother and aunt.

"Hehe, never mind, it's not about who arrives earliest but who arrives timely. I happened to come back to visit my parental home today, and unexpectedly met my niece here. It's also been a long time since I visited. You wouldn't mind, would you?" laughed Miao Caijing lightly.

"What are you talking about, sister? Xiao Yu, quickly serve the tea!" said Miao Lian.

Although the two didn't get along well, it was tough to push away someone wearing a friendly face who had shown up.

Qi Huaiyu felt unhappy but still got up to pour tea and water.

Miao Caijing sat down gracefully, feeling very pleased. Every time she was before these people, she always experienced an extreme sense of superiority.

Not to mention Miao Lian who was mediocre in both talent and appearance and who ended up marrying Qi Liangping, who was also just ordinary.

As for He Feiman's mother, Miao Xuehui, it was purely a case of suffering the consequences of her own actions. Miao Xuehui, being the youngest daughter in the Miao Family, was not only beautiful but also highly talented in cultivating martial arts.

Elder Master Miao had high hopes for her, believing she could marry into one of the top twenty families in Heavenly Vein, yet she chose to secretly pledge her life to that He family boy.

This didn't just infuriate Elder Master Miao; as the eldest daughter, Miao Caijing, who was decent in looks and talent, had always been extremely envious of her younger sister. Compared to Miao Xuehui, she received much less love, and comparisons can make matters worse.

But ever since Miao Xuehui disastrously fell for that He family boy, Miao Caijing felt as though her own spring had arrived. Whenever she had the opportunity to mock her sister, she felt rejuvenated by several years.

"Oh! Who is this?" Miao Caijing's gaze suddenly fell on Ling Fan, dressed ordinarily and of average bearing.

"This is Feiman's boyfriend!" Qi Liangping glanced at Miao Caijing and introduced.

Miao Caijing suddenly realized, then exclaimed, "Niece, I don't mean to criticize you, but with your beauty, you should be able to find a better family to marry into. How come he seems even less discerning than your mother!"

As these words were spoken, the hall suddenly fell silent.
