Xiao Lin's latest "emergence from seclusion" was naturally known by everyone throughout the Xiao Clan in the shortest time possible.
However, unlike in the early days, everyone in the Xiao Clan now knew that their Clan Leader was a cultivation fanatic who would enter seclusion for several years at the drop of a hat. Therefore, everyone had basically grown accustomed to it.
Even the outside world no longer spread rumors about Xiao Lin being dead or anything similar. With the first or second occurrence, people might still suspect and worry. But as the frequency increased, everyone became very calm about it.
Thus, after "emerging from seclusion", Xiao Lin directly dismissed the group of higher-ups from the Xiao Clan who were surrounding him. As for Nalan Jie, Mu Chen, and the others who prepared to visit him, Xiao Lin informed them that he would visit them himself in the future!
Just like that, in the end, Xiao Lin only left behind his own immediate family members.
"Father, you have experienced another long period of 'seclusion' again, you didn't even make it in time for Yan'er's birth."
Xiao Zhan's tone carried a slight hint of complaint.
Since only Xiao Zhan, Yang Xiyue, and Yun Shan of the Yun Lan Sect knew about Xiao Lin's fake seclusion and actual departure to the Central Plains, Xiao Zhan naturally spoke very cryptically at this moment.
"There was no other choice, it was all for the sake of making a breakthrough."
As he spoke, Xiao Lin displayed his cultivation level of a Seven-Star Dou Wang.
Well, every time a seclusion ended, Xiao Lin's surface cultivation would always advance by about one star. After finishing his sentence, Xiao Lin shifted his gaze toward the three children beside Yang Xiyue.
Among the three children, one looked to be seven or eight years old, one was four or five years old, and there was another who appeared to be two years old at most based on visual estimation!
It was just that the child who was only two years old instead wore an expression that said "I am an adult" on his face, and at the same time, he was secretly sizing up Xiao Lin, this grandfather of his in both a nominal and biological sense.
The child who was seven or eight years old was naturally Xiao Ding.
The one who was four or five years old was the second child, Xiao Li.
The smallest one, naturally, was Xiao Yan whom Xiao Lin had been constantly thinking about!
"Grandfather, you have finally emerged from seclusion!"
Because Xiao Lin had raised Xiao Ding for a period of time during his childhood, he naturally still recognized his grandfather.
"Good child, you've grown so big already!"
Hearing Xiao Ding call him, Xiao Lin revealed a gratified smile.
This was his eldest grandson, he had even taken this boy flying through the sky back then!
"Li'er, Yan'er, this is your grandfather, quickly call him grandfather."
At this time, Yang Xiyue also noticed that her other two children were in a daze, so she spoke up to remind them. Although Xiao Lin had seen Xiao Li when he was small, when he left the Xiao Clan to go to the Central Plains last time, the boy was only one year old!
It would be a ghost if the boy could remember Xiao Lin as his grandfather!
Although he had also heard about his grandfather from his parents' mouths, since the time he started remembering things, this was indeed his first time seeing this legendary grandfather who was said to have held him when he was a baby.
"Grandfather, congratulations on emerging from seclusion."
Under his mother's reminder, Xiao Li was quite sensible and immediately spoke up to call out.
"Good, good, good, Li'er is also this big now, when grandfather went into seclusion last time, you were still in swaddling clothes, in the blink of an eye, you've grown this tall!"
Xiao Lin could not help but sigh with emotion.
Truth be told, Xiao Lin completely possessed the mindset of a grandfather right now!
After sighing with emotion, Xiao Lin also cast his gaze onto the last child, which was Xiao Yan. At this moment, this little fellow was still opening his wide eyes to size up Xiao Lin. However, he did not show any intention of opening his mouth to call him grandfather.
Just like that, one old and one young, they stared back and forth at each other with wide eyes for a while.
"Father, this child Yan'er has been afraid of strangers since he was small, please don't blame him, it's probably because it's his first time seeing you, that's why he is acting like this. Yan'er, this is grandfather, come, call him grandfather."
Yang Xiyue first explained to Xiao Lin, her father-in-law, and then lowered her head to remind her youngest son beside her.
However, even so, Xiao Yan still had no intention of opening his mouth!
"This child, why is he still so afraid of strangers? He was like this with father and mother, he was like this with his two older brothers, and now that it's grandfather's turn, he's still like this!"
At this time, Xiao Zhan also said helplessly from the side.
This third child of his, ever since he was born, Xiao Zhan could feel that he was very different.
Precocious, sensible, but just afraid of strangers!
Xiao Yan was a soul crossover who brought along his past life's memories, so how could he not be precocious and sensible?
As for being afraid of strangers? He was afraid of strangers my foot!
After crossing over to this world, Xiao Yan also adapted for a very long time before he could barely open his mouth to call them father, mother, big brother, and second brother.
However, even though he would call them that, within Xiao Yan's heart, he also possessed a very awkward feeling toward his family members of this life.
Wanting Xiao Yan to completely acknowledge these family members of his current life was clearly not something that could be achieved in a short period of time.
He had managed with great difficulty to call out father, mother, big brother, and second brother, and now another grandfather had appeared!
Therefore, for Xiao Yan to remain silent at this moment was naturally nothing more than normal. Fortunately, Xiao Yan did not know that his grandfather was also a transmigrator, otherwise, he would probably never be able to voice out the title of "grandfather" for his entire life.
If the identities of Xiao Lin and Xiao Yan were swapped, and they knew each other were transmigrators, it would be the exact same situation, Xiao Lin probably wouldn't be able to voice it out either.
Both are transmigrators, on what basis are you my grandfather?
"Forget it, the child is afraid of strangers, it should get better after a period of time."
Knowing Xiao Yan's situation, Xiao Lin also spoke up at this time.
No need to force it, this little fellow would have to call him grandfather sooner or later anyway, there was no rush for this single moment.
However, Xiao Ding's next words instantly caused a change to appear in this situation!
"Third brother, grandfather is the most powerful person in our Xiao Clan! He can even take you flying up into the sky! When I was small, grandfather took me flying into the sky before."
Perhaps it was to encourage his younger brother, but Xiao Ding spoke exceptionally seriously at this moment.
Sure enough, at the instant Xiao Ding's words fell, Xiao Yan's eyes instantly lit up!
Before crossing over, Xiao Yan had naturally watched various novels, television dramas, and movies, and he had certainly fantasized about possessing all kinds of extraordinary powers himself.
However, the world he resided in during his past life was a world of science, and there was simply no such thing. After crossing over, Xiao Yan had long known that where he currently resided was a world that possessed extraordinary power!
Regarding the matter of himself potentially possessing extraordinary power in the future, Xiao Yan was both looking forward to it and excited.
Therefore, when he heard his big brother say that his grandfather was the strongest person in the Xiao Clan and could even fly, he instantly became thrilled.
When it involved extraordinary power, and he could even experience the feeling of flying, Xiao Yan felt that in this way, calling out grandfather wasn't impossible either!
It had to be said, Xiao Yan was still very pragmatic!
"Grandfather~"
A voice that tried to sound like an adult but was actually childish and milk-like rang out.
After Xiao Lin was dazed for a moment, his eyes instantly narrowed.
Good fellow, it still had to be using cultivation to entice Xiao Yan!
Look at that, Xiao Ding had only slightly mentioned it, and Xiao Yan was already able to throw away all of his integrity.
It had to be said, this was very Xiao Yan!
