Chapter 4, The Season of Mild Acid Rain

It is still my brother-in-law who is good, knowing that I will always be as wise and mighty as ever

Dugu Baitian said: "Alright, wait for me."

Situ Jingyun exclaimed, "Your sister hasn't married that scoundrel yet." He then continued, "Children, true masters often remain inconspicuous. You must remember this saying. Alright, you may go out now."

This person is indeed Dugu Baitian, who has just woken up from his afternoon nap

Before long, a tall and imposing young man emerged, standing a head and a half taller than the average person, appearing to be around eighteen or nineteen years old. His long eyebrows met his hairline, his nose was straight and his mouth square, and particularly striking were his eyes, which shone like cold stars in the night sky. The young man wore only a pair of long trousers, his upper body bare, with skin of a bronze hue, and his solid muscles coiled around him like sinewy dragons, exuding a sense of strength. A black band held back his hair, which flowed freely over his shoulders, wild and unrestrained, with a hint of elegance, embodying an air of superiority as if he looked down upon the world, believing himself to be unparalleled.

If that little brawler asks to fight you again, you must definitely hold back sixty percent of your strength. Although this kid is incredibly strong physically, you are no longer what you used to be, so be careful not to hurt him

hum

There are many, such as the wild horse splitting its mane and the golden rooster standing alone, specifically prepared for the elder and younger brothers-in-law to catch turtles in a jar, and for the second younger brother-in-law, the strategy of waiting by the stump to catch a hare

Si Tu Hao Yue said: "Is it that fighting maniac?"

Eldest Brother, Second Brother, Third Younger Brother

Before long, the three brothers came from the backyard to the hall. The eldest was tall and robust, exuding a masculine beauty. The second was exceptionally handsome, with striking features. The youngest bore a strong resemblance to Situ Mingyue, being very handsome; if he were to dress as a woman, he would also be a great beauty.

Time flies swiftly, and in the blink of an eye, two years have passed

Situ Haoyue angrily said: "Fighting maniac, my sister hasn't married you yet. Even if she does marry you, you must respectfully call me 'brother-in-law'"

Sidu Aoyue looked at his father's excited expression, feeling a surge of lofty ambition within. Who does not yearn to dominate the rivers and lakes, traverse the continent, and be invincible? Especially at his age, it is the time to admire heroes and dream of becoming one.

Sima Minyue said: "I knew that my brother-in-law was not an ordinary person. Is Uncle Dugu and Grandpa Dugu not ordinary people either?"

Situ Minyue ran over and said with a smile, "Brother-in-law, it has been three months since we last met, and you have become even more extraordinary."

Sima Mingyue had clearly noticed the four individuals, and awkwardly stood up, wanting to pull the young man up with him, but then withdrew his hand. The young man, however, stood up with ease and composure.

"Brother Bai Tian, you are carrying me." The little girl climbed onto the young man's back and smiled sweetly

A delicate and exquisite little girl followed behind the young man, her voice sweet and innocent: "Brother Baitian, please slow down, I can't keep up with you."

Sima Minyue, like his sister Sima Mingyue, has admired Dugu Baitian since childhood. Although his skills have greatly improved in recent years and he is now on par with Dugu Baitian in combat, he still holds him in immense reverence

Father, I will make the Situ family renowned across the continent

"Greetings, Father." The three of them bowed to Situ Jingyun, but it was difficult to conceal the joy on their faces

Situ Jingyun said: "Bai Tian is a remarkable child, with exceptional talent; he is practically born for martial arts. I used to lament that he did not study martial arts, but now it seems I was worrying unnecessarily."

The three of them let out a hum in unison, not expecting to meet Situ Mingyue under such circumstances. Situ Haoyue and Situ Aoyue had long regarded Dugubaitian as their prospective brother-in-law, while Situ Minyue had even publicly referred to Dugubaitian as her brother-in-law. Dugubaitian was already an open secret as the future son-in-law of the Situ family, yet the reality before them was difficult for them to accept

A few people bickered their way to their battleground—the forest outside the city

Dugu Baitian felt as if struck by lightning, his head spinning, his mind blank, and it took him a long time to regain his senses. The young girl was none other than the moon he had longed for day and night, Sima Mingyue. After two years apart, she had blossomed into an even more beautiful woman, breathtakingly lovely. The once slightly immature girl had now completely transformed into a stunning beauty, her radiant features enchanting and graceful. However, the one he had yearned for was sitting intimately with another young man. The young man was strikingly handsome, exuding an air of confidence. Dugu Baitian understood; betrayal, his former lover had betrayed him.

Dugu Baitian and his three companions have arrived outside the city, chatting as they walk

At this moment, they noticed a young couple sitting by the woods, displaying an affectionate demeanor, with the girl wiping the sweat from the young man's brow. It seemed they were tired from their journey and had stopped here to rest

The three brothers nodded, and Situ Aoyue said: "We understand. Last time, the three of us held back for him, but this brat is too despicable. We clearly let him win, and yet he laughed at our martial arts as being useless. This time, we will definitely make him suffer a bit."

Dugu Baitian's eyes became moist

Situ Minyue was clearly accustomed to this situation long ago, watching with a cheerful smile from the side

In the blink of an eye, the little girl had transformed into a radiant young woman. The young woman hid behind the young man, reaching out to cover his eyes, "Guess who I am?"

Dugu Baitian heard the sound of his own heart breaking, as the memories of the past surged into his mind in an instant, with scenes from bygone days appearing as if right before his eyes

Situ Aoyue also said: "Originally, we wanted to pay a visit to Uncle Dugong and Grandpa Dugong, but it seems we will have to wait a while to see them now"

"Brother Bai Tian, I want to marry you when I grow up," the little girl said with a firm tone and an adorable expression

Sister-in-law, what techniques have you actually learned

Situ Haoyue could not help but ask: "When did you start practicing martial arts? Who did you learn from?"

It is a sunny spring day, with gentle winds and bright sunshine, and the sky is clear without a cloud in sight. The spring breeze lightly caresses, bringing a warm sensation that makes one feel light and invigorated

Get up

In fact, the three sons of the current head of the family, Situ Jingyun, are all individuals of exceptional talent, and their martial skills have long reached the corresponding standards. However, as the head of the family, Situ Jingyun holds very strict expectations for his children, always demanding high standards. Among their peers in the family, these three are outstanding.

Brother Bai Tian, I, I ... ...

The eldest, Situ Haoyue, is twenty years old this year and has already mastered the family heirloom "Mingyue Heart Sutra" to the eleventh level, making him the foremost expert among the younger generation of the family. The second, Situ Haoyue, is nineteen years old and has just reached the eleventh level of the "Mingyue Heart Sutra," subtly showing signs of surpassing his elder brother. The third, Situ Minyue, is sixteen years old and is a fraternal twin with Situ Mingyue, having been born half an hour later. Due to her age, she has only mastered the "Mingyue Heart Sutra" to the ninth level, yet she is still considered a skilled practitioner among the younger generation.

Great, I really can't wait

Si Tu Ao Yue said: "Is he really that impressive? But he is already so old, isn't it too late to practice martial arts?"

That's great, thank you, Grandpa. I will go tell my elder brother and third brother. With that, she turned and ran towards the martial arts training ground in the backyard

Si Tu Haoyue was furious: "Brawler, let us immediately go outside the city to settle this."

It is no wonder that these three brothers have not stepped out of their home for a full three months. The Situ family has extremely strict requirements for the younger generation. If their martial arts skills do not meet the corresponding standards for their age, they are not allowed to leave home even a step. This is why those from the Situ family who venture into the martial world are all highly skilled individuals

Dugu Baitian smiled wickedly and said: "So it turns out to be three little brothers-in-law, forgive me for the delay in welcoming you."

Today, the second son of the Situ family, Situ Aoyue, has finally cultivated the family heirloom "Mingyue Heart Sutra" to the eleventh level. Situ Jingyun is very pleased and, holding Situ Aoyue's hand, says: "My son, you have reached the eleventh level of our family's divine skill at the age of nineteen, which is rare in the family history of nearly a hundred years. If you continue to cultivate at this speed, by the age of fifty, you will be able to reach the highest realm of the eighteenth level of the 'Mingyue Heart Sutra'. At that time, you will stand among the top masters of the imperial level, and the family will flourish under your leadership"

In this moment and scene, Du Gu Bai Tian's heart aches to the point of shattering. Is this the girl who once loved him deeply? Is this the girl he loved deeply? Is this the girl who, two years ago, repeatedly urged him to wait for her return? Is this the girl who has always called out since childhood: "Bai Tian Gege, I want to marry you when I grow up"?

Du Gu Bai Tian initially did not pay much attention, but he suddenly noticed that the smiles of the three brothers from the Situ family had frozen. Curiously, he turned his gaze towards the couple, who were also looking back at them.

Situ Mingyue felt even more awkward, not knowing what to say

Si Tu Haoyue was greatly enraged: "Du Gu Baitian, I will say it again, my sister has not yet married you. Even after she marries you, you must still call me 'big brother-in-law' and not 'little brother-in-law'"

Situ Aoyue also angrily said: "Dugu Baitian, do not take advantage of your words right now; soon you will be begging on your knees for mercy"

Dugu Baitian said: "Second little brother, if you don't come, I'm really going to lose my mind. I just learned some martial arts and was looking for someone to practice with, and you all came just in time. Big brother-in-law, since you're so worked up, I'll help you cool down a bit later."

The three individuals nodded their heads

Sima Jingyun said: "He has been fighting since childhood, and his body has long been trained; it is never too late. Moreover, he is not an ordinary person; the Dugu family truly has no ordinary individuals."

Situ Jingyun said: "Indeed, with my current cultivation, I can finally sense the fierce fighting spirit within him. Sooner or later, he will pursue the path of martial arts; perhaps he is just not aware of it yet"

The three brothers have been cooped up at home for three months, and now they feel as free as birds just released from their cages, experiencing an indescribable sense of ease and joy. Walking down the street, everything feels fresh and new to them

These four individuals share a bond forged through experiences. Although Situ Haoyue and Situ Aoyue are both older than Dugong Baitian, they were often bullied by him during their childhood. It was only until one day when he ceased to bully the "weaker children" that their relationship began to change, further strengthened by their connection to Situ Mingyue, making their friendship even more intimate. Despite their interactions often involving banter or fights, the friendship among the four is genuine

It is just three years of preschool education, and I learned some common, mediocre martial arts from my grandfather that should be more than enough to deal with you.

Upon seeing this, the servant quickly went inside to report, as they had long been accustomed to these peculiar titles associated with the three young masters of the Situ family

The three were greatly astonished, as none of them had anticipated that this maniac, who had never shown any interest in martial arts since childhood and only enjoyed fighting, would suddenly begin to learn martial arts

Turning around, she ran towards the backyard, and after a while, she came out wearing a top.

The young girl took out a handkerchief and carefully wiped the sweat from the boy's forehead, saying softly: "Brother Baitian, please don't fight with them, play with me instead"

Situ Aoyue said: "Fighting maniac, stop being so narcissistic. Be careful, or we will make you kneel and beg for mercy soon."

Are the three of you in such a hurry to go out to find Bai Tian

The young girl nestled adorably against the young man's shoulder, "Brother Bai Tian, I want to marry you when I grow up"

The grass by the roadside is tender and green, the willows gently droop with their green tendrils, and everything appears so full of life. The air is filled with a fragrance of grass mixed with the scent of earth, and the essence of spring is evident everywhere

In the blink of an eye, the scene changed again; the vibrant young girl transformed into a beautiful young woman, her stunning features alluring and graceful. She was still wiping the sweat of a young man, yet this young man was not him. The graceful figure sat intimately with another young man.

He shouted loudly and quickly ran towards the small town. He heard Situ Mingyue seemingly calling out to Brother Baitian, urging him to stop. He did not dare to linger, fearing that Situ Mingyue would see the tears in his eyes and hear the sound of his heart breaking

is ''

Good, you have such ambition, and I am very pleased. Aoyue, I will grant you three brothers a three-day leave, go ahead

Ah ... ...

The Dugu family is almost adjacent to their home, separated by only one street. Situ Haoyue and Situ Aoyue entered and shouted: "Fighting maniac." Situ Minyue was even more exaggerated, saying, "Brother-in-law, I have come to see you."
