Stepping on the Demoness to become the strongest
Chapter 841 - 841 62 Father I Had No Choice Either

Chapter 841: Chapter 62: Father, I Had No Choice Either Chapter 841: Chapter 62: Father, I Had No Choice Either For the Yan Family, Yan Yu becoming the captain of the Zhenhai Team was a clear turning point.

Yan Father and Yan Mother’s workplaces changed their attitudes toward them, treating them like they had the strongest backing. No added workload, wages were paid as usual, and performance evaluations were maxed out, all under the principle of “just show up to work however you want, as long as you’re happy.”

The two elders were somewhat nervous and continued to complete their duties at work each day with due diligence. Yan Jing at school started to get a bit arrogant, immediately transforming into the campus’ Demon King once she realized that the teachers didn’t dare to discipline her. She slept in class, played wildly during breaks, and didn’t do her homework, all while rocking the attitude of “as long as I’m happy, I study however I want.”

Initially, Yan Father and Yan Mother tried to correct their daughter, but later, when they found out their son had earned enough money for the family to live on for a lifetime… they let it go, after all, Yan Yu also doted on his sister Jingjing. As long as she was happy going forward… they’d let her be.

The second turning point occurred after Yan Yu became a Sword Bearer.

With Yan Yu’s importance climbing even higher, the old ways were no longer applicable. An official notice was issued from above, ensuring that Yan Father, Yan Mother, and Yan Jing were all under tight protection, and the elders no longer needed to go to work every day. Yan Jing didn’t need to go to school either, as the Lin’an Education Department assigned several top-ranking teachers to provide her with home-tutoring.

Yan Jing then faced some hardships because the home classes were conducted in the presence of her parents. If you didn’t pay attention, you’d face severe scolding—others might not dare to discipline Yan Yu’s sister, but her parents definitely could.

As soon as Yan Yu returned home with his team, Yan Jing quickly rushed to him, knelt down, and wailed inconsolably:

“Big brother, I want to go to school!”

Yan Yu’s brows furrowed slightly, “Go to school? You’re the sister of Lu Country’s Sword Bearer, can you be a bit more aware? What if you get kidnapped by some evil rogue Cultivator? Do you know how many ill-intentioned people are out there abroad? If they can’t handle me, they’ll come after you!”

He revealed a gentle smile and said,

“Want to go to school? Sure, I’ll talk to the people upstairs, we can arrange your home-tutoring classes for the evening, and you can attend online classes during the day, how’s that? We’ll install a live streaming camera in your old school classroom to ease your longing for school!”

“No, please!” Yan Jing let out an agonizing scream.

“There, there!” Yan Mother ran out of the kitchen and scolded her daughter, “Don’t block the doorway! Let the girls come in first.”

The girls lined up to enter, changed into slippers, and took seats on the couch in order. The Yan Family’s couch was a classic combination of long and short pieces; the long couch could fit four people, with two single couches beside it. But with seven girls just by Yan Yu’s side, where could they all sit?

Yan Father was also feeling the strain, first fetching chairs from the dining room then calling his son to the bedroom doorway, and asked in a low voice,

“Why has the number of people increased again?”

“I’m in a high position with a wide circle of acquaintances, isn’t it normal to have many people?” Yan Yu found it somewhat perplexing.

“But why are they all pretty girls?” Yan Father was incredulous.

“Dad, what are you talking about?” Yan Yu laughed, “If I brought home a bunch of gays, could you and mom handle it?”

“It’s not about gender.” Yan Father earnestly advised, “Bringing one home is one thing, but why so many? You’re not an ordinary person now, if it gets out, the negative impact would be huge!”

“Who dares slander the Sword Bearer of Lu Country?” Yan Yu scoffed.

“People may not say anything to your face, but you can’t stop them from mocking you behind your back,” Yan Father said, “Even ancient emperors faced public scrutiny. Just tell me the truth, the new girl with black hair is Qing’an Team’s deputy captain Li Minghu, I’ve seen her on TV before, and who is that foreigner?”

“Anna,” Yan Yu answered, “We go way back, and then she went abroad. She only recently came back to Lu Country to see me.”

“That doesn’t complicate things?” Yan Father, a veteran of state-owned enterprises, had safety consciousness on point, “With your current status, befriending her… a foreigner? Which country is she from?”

“The Northern Border,” Yan Yu said.

“Oh.” Yan Father slowly turned around, pulling out his phone to look up “relations between Northern Border and Lu Country,” and sighed with relief when he saw news mentioning that both sides had become “strategic partners,” then further inquired:

“The Northern Border is currently ruled by the Amur Witch’s Group, is she an Amur Witch?”

“Yeah.” Yan Yu said.

Yan Father fell silent for a moment, then asked again:

“An Amur Witch coming to Lu Country to find you, that won’t affect you, right?”

“What effect could it have?” Yan Yu replied nonchalantly, “I told you, I am the Sword Bearer of Lu Country.”

“You think being the Lu Country’s Sword Bearer means you can do whatever you want?” His dad, losing face after getting talked back to by his son, sternly scolded.

“Sorry, dad.” Yan Yu quickly softened his tone and said apologetically with a smile, “But the Lu Country’s Sword Bearer does indeed have the freedom to do what he wants.”

Yan Father: ……

“Fine, fine, I’ll let the other stuff go,” the middle-aged man swallowed his pride, looking for an out, “Just be straight with me, besides these two, do you have any other close female friends out there that might end up coming home?”

Yan Yu actually pondered this:

“Xiao Zhou, Xiao Tang, Xiao Ye, it should just be the three of them. Teacher Mei doesn’t count as a close female friend, but she might come over as a guest.”
