"Brother, you seem unusually serious today," Yun Yanshuang teased, her tone light and playful as she observed her elder brother's contemplative expression.
"Hah! Do I? Maybe it's because I've been watching the struggles between the families, the clashes among rogue cultivators, and the fall of the Tongshan Xia Clan. It stirs thoughts, I suppose."
"Everyone is striving to protect their families—brother, you, and I are no different.
Yan Tian, Wen Xuan, Wen Yu, and all the elders and relatives of the family work tirelessly. Even though they may act ruthlessly and manipulate others in the outside world, their ultimate purpose is singular—to safeguard the clan!"
"Haha! That's right. Everything is for the family!"
"Enough of this talk. I'm going to help Mother prepare dinner. Tonight, we're having a braised demon boar trotter!"
"Demon boar? Brother, when did you hunt that?"
