“Xiao Xue, he’s Wang Zhixing, Grandpa Wang!” Ma Dong said.
Ma Qingxue’s expression changed as she examined Wang Zhixing confusedly. “Grandpa Wang?”
“That’s right! After we started cultivating, we all became younger.
“This sounds a little unreal, but it’s true,” Ma Dong said very seriously.
“Look at that person—the one in a red short-sleeved shirt. He’s really in his eighties.
“And that one, the tall guy. He’s already in his nineties.
“The best one is right here. Look at those two who are holding each other’s shoulders. They are actually father and son. The son is in his seventies, and his father is almost 100 years old.”
Ma Dongdong introduced everyone with a smile.
After thinking about it, Ma Qingxue also recognized that the person in front of her was indeed her grandfather.
At this time, Zhao Xuanxuan also opened her eyes.
Her eyes lit up upon seeing so many people in the training hall.
She said to Ma Qingxue, “Sister-in-law, my brother really wasn’t bragging. There are really so many people coming to cultivate.”
“Sister-in-law?” Ma Dong was shocked.
“Xiao Xue, when did you get married? Why didn’t you tell me about something this big?” Ma Dong frowned and looked at Ma Qingxue very seriously.
Ma Qingxue said awkwardly, “Grandpa, I… I’m not married. I just got a boyfriend.”
When Ma Dong heard this, he seemed very surprised. “What about that rich heir? Did you dump him?”
The rich heir was referring to Fang Yuke.
At the mention of him, Ma Qingxue’s expression darkened.
Zhao Xuanxuan looked at Ma Dong and asked doubtfully, “Are you really my sister-in-law’s biological grandfather? You don’t even know what happened to him?”
Ma Dong smiled bitterly and said, “Young lady, you’re right. I’m not her biological grandfather.
“Xiao Xue was adopted from a welfare home by my son.
“But, even though Xiao Xue is not my biological granddaughter, she means even more to me than a biological granddaughter would.”
After Zhao Xuanxuan heard that, she glanced at Ma Qingxue. She did not expect her to also be an orphan like herself.
She was lucky and had met a good family.
That wasn’t the case for herself and Qin Chuan.
While thinking, Ma Dong added, “Young lady, you said that something big happened to my Xiao Xue. What exactly happened?”
Zhao Xuanxuan exclaimed, “Grandpa, don’t you watch the news?”
Ma Dong said with a wry smile, “I’m too old to watch the news.”
Zhao Xuanxuan was speechless. She said, “It’s all because of Fang Yuke. He had a family of his own but still lied to my sister-in-law. Thankfully, my sister-in-law found out early and cut ties with hiim.”
However, because of Fang Yuke’s background, many people slandered my sister-in-law, saying that she was a mistress…”
“What…” Ma Dong was instantly enraged.” That bastard, I’m going to give him a good beating. And all those people who slandered my Xiao Xue, I won’t let them off…”
Ma Dong was furious. His eyes were burning with anger, and he looked like he was going to kill someone.
Zhao Xuanxuan said, “Grandpa, don’t get too agitated, I have good news.”
“Speak!”
“Fang Yuke jumped off a building two days ago and died.”
“Good, good!” Ma Dong was very happy. “He bullied my Xiao Xue. I’m not sad that he died.”
“Xiao Xue, you’ve learned your lesson. You have to keep your eyes open. Don’t get fooled again,” Ma Dong said earnestly.
“Also, why are you dating so quickly now?
“How is your current boyfriend? Does he have good values and outlooks? Is he uptight? Does he have any illnesses…”
Ma Dong rambled on.
It was obvious that he cared about Ma Qingxue.
Ma Qingxue was also very helpless. “Grandpa, I’m not a child. I have my own judgment. I definitely won’t misjudge this time.”
“It’s good that you won’t, but you still have to be careful.
“If your current boyfriend bullies you, just tell Grandpa.
“I’m a cultivator now. I won’t let you suffer.”
Ma Dong patted his chest and said very confidently.
Zhao Xuanxuan interjected, “Sir, you want to beat up my brother?”
“If your brother bullies my Xiao Xue, as her grandfather, I will definitely return the favor.”
Zhao Xuanxuan chuckled. “Grandpa, you’re really confident.
“Do you know who my brother is?”
Ma Dong said arrogantly, “I don’t care who your brother is. Even if he’s the head of the country, as long as he bullies my Xiao Xue, I will beat him up all the same.”
At this moment, Qin Chuan walked over with a few newbies.
“Hey! Grandpa Ma, you guys are chatting already!” Qin Chuan greeted casually.
Ma Dong smiled and said, “Sect Master, I didn’t expect you to bring my granddaughter here.”
Qin Chuan smiled. He could tell Ma Dong about his relationship with Ma Qingxue now.
Just as he was about to speak, Zhao Xuanxuan called out, “Brother!”
Qin Chuan glanced at Zhao Xuanxuan and asked, “What’s the matter?”
Zhao Xuanxuan giggled and shook her head. “It’s nothing, I just wanted to call you.”
Qin Chuan rolled his eyes. “Lame.”
“Sect Master!” Ma Dong suddenly shouted. “She’s your sister?”
Qin Chuan nodded his head, “Yes, but not by blood. We depended on each other for survival from a young age. We lived together and grew up together, so our relationship is closer than that of family.”
“Ah, this…” Ma Dong’s expression turned ugly.
He never would’ve imagined that Zhao Xuanxuan’s older brother was actually Qin Chuan.
Qin Chuan had given him a second youth and had even taken the blame for him before. It would be very difficult for him to repay the favor he owed Qin Chuan in this lifetime.
If he really bullied Ma Qingxue, he really did not know what to do.
Qin Chuan noticed the abnormality in Ma Dong’s expression and asked, “Grandpa Ma, what’s wrong? Are you feeling unwell?”
Ma Dong shook his head. “No, my face just hurts a little. It’s probably from sleeping wrong last night.”
As he spoke, Ma Dong subconsciously touched his face. However, touching one side was not enough for him. He touched both sides.
“…”
Not long after, wearing a lonely expression, Ma Dong left with his back hunched.
Qin Chuan asked the people around, “What’s wrong with Ma Dong? Why is he acting weird today? He looks like he got his period?”
Zhao Xuanxuan giggled. “He got slapped in the face!”
“Ah…” Qin Chuan was confused. “By who?”
Zhao Xuanxuan shot him a disdainful look.
Qin Chuan was even more puzzled.
He looked at Wang Zhixing, who had yet to leave. “Grandpa Wang, what happened before I came?”
Wang Zhixing did not refuse and gave him a rough recount of their earlier conversation.
After listening to him, Qin Chuan couldn’t help but blush with shame.
…
A black helicopter slowly approached from afar above Beichuan City.
Finally, the helicopter landed on the helipad of a high-end office building in the city center.
After two and a half hours of flying, the cabin door slowly opened, and Li Zhongyun stepped out.
This office building was property under Li Pharmaceutical Co.’s industrial chain.
When he walked out of the cabin, a group of people immediately rushed over.
They were unaware of Li Zhongyun’s identity, but the person who came in the helicopter must be a big shot in Li Pharmaceutical Co.
Li Zhongyun ignored them.
He had something very important to do on this trip. It concerned the rise and fall and the future of his lineage.
Not long after, he arrived at a small district in a luxurious car. There were five core members of the Eagle Guard accompanying him. They were all first-class martial artists.
An Eagle Guard pointed. “Master, that’s the one.”
Li Zhongyun nodded. “Let’s go and take a look.”
