Family Cultivation: My entire family are Villains

"Yes, Madam!"

Yue Qianfu didn't speak directly; instead, she chose voice transmission. Hou Wuqie was still in the carriage, and given his relationship with Brother Yu, if he heard her arrangement, he would most likely cause a commotion. It's better to explain to him slowly after taking action first.

"Madam, we've arrived at Nanping Hou Mansion."

"Welcome, Madam, and Young Master!"

The moment the carriage stopped, the maid's words had just fallen, and outside came a burst of welcoming voices. As the maid lifted the curtain, Yue Qianfu, holding her son's little hand, stepped down from the carriage and saw a mansion with walls stretching several miles long. They had stopped just at the main entrance of the mansion.

The characters for "Hou Mansion" on the main gate were powerful, much like those in Hexi Prefectural City, clearly penned by her husband Hou Yuduan. More than half a year had passed without seeing him, and suddenly seeing his handwriting, a soft look appeared in Yue Qianfu's eyes.

"Madam, Fifth Master is at the drill ground. He has important matters today and cannot personally welcome you, so he sent me to bring you over."

"No problem, General Gao, please lead the way."

Hou Wuqie, led by his mother's little hand, entered the mansion, his gaze fixated on the welcoming General Gao. Despite being young, he recognizably understood that this Red Armor General was one of the three Commanders of the clan's Red Flame Army—Gao Changbao. Teacher Yu had said that General Gao Changbao now possessed the cultivation of the Yuan Dan Realm, considered one of the top experts in Hexi, greatly valued by his uncle.

As they walked forward, Gao Changbao naturally felt Hou Wuqie's gaze. Turning around and seeing Hou Wuqie curiously staring at his armor, he smiled and asked, "Does the young master like my armor?"

Hou Wuqie was not shy at all and immediately nodded, softly saying, "This is the Red Armor that only Red Flame Army members wear. When I grow up, I'll definitely join the Red Flame Army."

The attitude of this child, not yet four years old, in speaking was quite amusing. Gao Changbao laughed twice but thought for a moment before shaking his head, saying, "Your task, young master, is to diligently cultivate. Matters of the military are for us to handle. When you grow up and understand, won't the Red Flame Army have to listen to you?"

The words had a teasing tone, but whether it was those around Gao Changbao or the Red Flame soldiers accompanying Yue Qianfu and her son from Hexi, none showed any unusual expression.

In fact, Hou Clan consisted of just six members within the immediate family; Hou Wuqie was the eldest son of the next generation, and there was basically nothing wrong with his words.

Hou Wuqie's eyes showed confusion; he was likely too young to understand the meaning behind Gao Changbao's words, pondering whether listening to him or joining the Red Flame Army was better.

The others, seeing his expression, couldn't help but find it amusing.

Upon entering the Hou Mansion training ground, Yue Qianfu was stunned by the scene before her. Thousands of Red Flame soldiers were seated cross-legged with their eyes closed, exuding strong Gang Qi—clearly, they were in cultivation.

"These... are all experts above Gang Qi Second Realm? Wasn't it said last year that the Red Flame Army suffered huge losses, and only twelve thousand remained?"

Yue Qianfu knew the Red Flame Army well. It operated in teams of a hundred, a thousand as a standard, ten thousand as a camp, with the minimum cultivation at Ten Layers of Body Openings. Typically, only half of the team leaders are Gang Qi experts. Before moving south, the Red Flame Army comprised of thirty thousand, with just over fifteen hundred Gang Qi experts, most being at the Gang Qi First Realm.

Before arriving in Nanjiang, she had heard that during the southern campaign, only twelve thousand of the Red Flame Army remained. Therefore, having five or six hundred Gang Qi experts would be quite significant, yet before her were twelve hundred seated soldiers.

And all were above Gang Qi Second Realm!

Even the front row had nearly forty percent Grandmaster Realm experts.

The number of experts was even more than before the battle for Nanjiang!

How was this possible?

"Qianfu, Wuqie, you're here!"

"Husband."

Seeing two figures approaching in the distance, Yue Qianfu's expression lit up with excitement. She quickly stepped forward to greet Hou Yuduan, calling out after pleasantries, then turning to Hou Yuxiao, bowing, "Brother."

"No need for formalities!"

"Father, Uncle."

Imitating the gesture, Hou Wuqie first respectfully addressed his father, then turned to Hou Yuxiao, a mysterious smile appearing on his face.

"Uncle, Wuqie has brought good news for you!"

Hou Yuxiao, seeing his deliberate mystery, couldn't help but chuckle. As the Family Head, he was the first to know any familial news, and he had a guess about the secret this little one might reveal. Nonetheless, he played along, showing an intrigued expression as he picked Hou Wuqie up.

"Good news, what good news? Wuqie, quickly tell Uncle!"

"Last month, Aunt gave birth—a younger brother named Hou Wuji. She asked me to tell Uncle to hurry back to Hexi, or Aunt will be upset."

"Haha, wonderful, wonderful, Uncle will head back immediately. We can't have Aunt upset."
