Maheswara spend his entire evening with Ryuu telling him the stories of his youth, while Ryuu was holding his sides which were aching from laughing hard, they had dinner together before Maheswara tuck him in bed, before making his way to where his wives and his daughters were waiting.
Maheswara went inside with a smile on his face, "Well ladies I am back, and Ryuu is currently doing much better than before."
The others smiled at that, but before anyone could speak Maheswara turned his head towards Shamiran as he spoke, "Child you should work on your stealth better, I found you easily."
Shamiran gawked at him, "How did you know? I was careful during the whole time while I kept an eye on you both, I thought…."
She was interrupted by Maheswara himself as he spoke out, "You thought because I allowed you think, and as for me finding you it is simple dear I taught you everything about stealth and it will be a million years before you or your sisters surpass me and my wives, hahahahaha", he finished with loud laugh as he boasted loudly causing his daughters to grumble with sour look on their faces which surprising sounded like, 'stupid overpowered parents'.
Veena: "So how did it go your 'Enthusiastic Walk'?"
Maheswara: "It went well, Ryuu at least knows that we will always be there helping him, lending him a shoulder during his time of need, like a true family."
His wives were happy at his proclamation as they made various planning for the newest member of their family.
Antariskh frowned so did her sisters they did not like it, as such she cleared her throat bringing everyone's attention towards her, normally Maheswara might have normally cracked a joke but prevented himself seeing the serious look on his daughter's face.
Antariskh spoke in a serious manner, "Since you have taken Ryuu as your disciple, it makes him as our brother, and since we sisters have called him and acknowledged him as such, like any good older siblings his wellbeing is our duty, as such can you truly assure us that you are planning to adopt him into our family, because he reminds you of our deceased older brother, can assure us that you do not see Pangu in him."
Her parents were silent on hearing her query, Maheswara listened to her query with his eyes closed as he replied, " I do not know about your mothers but no I cannot assure you as such because at the small part of my mind I view him as such."
Antariskh swept her eyes towards her mothers but their silence answered her question as such he let out a small sigh, "I see well if it is your answers then my sisters and I are sorry to inform you that we will never allow you to adopt Ryuu into our family, Pangu and Ryuu are both different people and I cannot allow you to make Ryuu his replacement, as such as long as you try use Ryuu as our elder sibling's replacement we will stop you.", she stood up along with her sisters as she went toward the door of the room, leaving her parent's to ponder about her statement.
As she was about to leave, Celestia spoke out towards her in a stern tone, "Antariskh we know that a couple of years ago when Ryuu went to explore the ruins Sylvana placed an array on him which had a small part which made him unnecessarily aggressive which we did not sanction, I do not know what is your agenda regarding Ryuu but we will not stand as passerby."
Antariskh just gave a small smile as she replied in the most innocent tone she could muster, "What agenda you are talking about mother please rest assured we have only good intentions regarding our beloved baby brother.", with that piece said they left, while Celestia growled in annoyance and the others frowned at her.
Maheswara spoke with a sigh, "You know she has a point, we have to try and see both as different person otherwise we will not only doing great injustice but also betray not only Ryuu's trust but also our sister Xiao Xiao's as well."
Their children may seem like a small child in front of their eyes but they did raise a very valid point.
Almost a year and a half had passed by and due to Ryuu's teachers as well as his older sisters he has somewhat returned to his old cheerful self.
Ryuu had also moved out of his old house and shifted to a new one, when he was offered a choice he took it gladly as the memories of that place was painful to him, his master's had kept the house intact as well as Xiao Xiao's room on Ryuu's request sometimes he would visit his mother's room and simply meditate there.
Ryuu had gotten a lot strong during this time, he has now reached level 7 in sword force with an Expert level insight in Grand Dao of Sword, as well as gained Adept level insight in Grand Dao of Archery, his mastery over Alchemy and Array was at peak Wanxiang Adept and his cultivation level was already at rank 10th Wanxiang Adept, over all for someone near 12 years of was remarkable.
Today was a special day, as according to their promise his sisters were again taking him for an excursion but unlike the previous time this time his sisters will stay beside him during the entire time of excursion.
Ryuu was excited for this day he was practically giddy, he got ready quickly and when he went to greet his teachers and sister he found his sister dressed like some adventures instead of their regal armor which caused him to his anticipation to rise he could not wait for the grand adventure.
Soon they departed from Ayindril he waved back to his teachers who returned his gesture with kind smile and as they disappeared from view Maheswara smiling face turned into a frown, "I do not know why but I feel like we might have to punish our daughters when they return from the trip."
Nuwa just scolded him lightly, "Please our daughters are responsible adults, and since they are with Ryuu they will surely take good care of him."
At that her sister wives nodded in agreement, meanwhile Maheswara frowned as an ideal thought ran through his mind, "I hope you are right beloved, it is true my daughters can easily protect him from almost everything but who will protect him from them, I might have to keep an eye on them.'
