This Grandpa Was Way Too Overbearing!

In the backyard, a winding path led into seclusion as the fragrance of tea drifted among the flowers and greenery. An old man dressed in plain clothes sat there, savoring hot tea.

Strands of white ran through his thick black hair, yet his face remained youthful, showing little sign of age. He looked exceptionally warm and approachable.

"Grandpa!"

Su Xian hurried over with a smile, but Nan Gong Yunshan seemed not to notice him. His gaze was fixed on Qian Renxue.

A faint smile spread across Nan Gong Yunshan's lips like ripples on water. He could not help nodding. "I heard yesterday that you'd gained an Imperial Prince Consort. I thought Xue Ye had gone muddle-headed from being emperor for too long, but it seems you brat have good taste after all."

Nan Gong Yunshan dared to address Xue Ye by name. He was probably the number one man in Heaven Dou City. No helping it—a father-in-law really was badass!

"Hehe..."

Su Xian immediately grinned, looking somewhat foolish as he tugged at Qian Renxue's sleeve.

"Xue Er, greet Grandpa!"

Qian Renxue immediately understood. She gave Nan Gong Yunshan a graceful bow, her manner exceedingly respectful.

"Good, good, good!"

A hearty smile appeared on Nan Gong Yunshan's face, as though he was extremely pleased. He hastily beckoned to the two of them, and they quickly stepped forward.

Gurgle, gurgle...

Hot water poured down as the tea leaves swirled in the cups. Nan Gong Yunshan did not have Su Xian help him, instead pouring each of them a cup himself.

"Try this tea I had someone bring back from the Star Luo Empire." Nan Gong Yunshan gestured before lifting his own cup.

Su Xian took a small sip and could not help praising it. The Heaven Dou Empire was located in the northwest, and its temperature and climate could not compare to the Star Luo Empire's. The tea was the same.

Under Su Xian's commercial-grade flattery, even Nan Gong Yunshan's old face reddened. Taking it as filial respect from Su Xian, he hurriedly waved for him to stop.

Their looks could not escape him. Nan Gong Yunshan smiled teasingly. "You brat, after not seeing you for a while, you've become more and more smooth-tongued. It's only been a few days, yet no wonder you've completely bewitched your granddaughter-in-law."

"Keep a low profile, keep a low profile!"

"I make a living purely on my face. I'm just too handsome—what can I do?" Su Xian hurriedly waved his hands, wearing a deeply helpless expression.

He was not someone who made a living with his mouth. If Qian Renxue had not fallen for his looks, would she have been conquered so quickly?!

Seeing Su Xian so narcissistic, Nan Gong Yunshan was utterly stunned before breaking into laughter. "You really dare to say anything. Aren't you afraid people will laugh at you?"

After laughing, Nan Gong Yunshan nodded seriously and said with a solemn expression:

"That brat Xue Ye wasn't as handsome as you when he was young. Look at me, look at your mother—if it weren't for the Nan Gong Family's genes, you couldn't possibly be this handsome."

Su Xian: ...

Damn! Grandpa, you're finding roundabout ways to praise yourself!

Pah! Shameless old man!

After a brief exchange of pleasantries, Nan Gong Yunshan did not immediately ask why Su Xian and Qian Renxue had come. Instead, he brought up Nan Gong Qiu.

"Your aunt has always been like that. She's not easy to get along with, and it hasn't been just a day or two since you started disliking her."

"To be honest, I prefer your mother's temperament. Thinking back now, I really regret letting her join the Empire Army and turning her into what she is today." With a quiet sigh, Nan Gong Yunshan seemed somewhat lonely.

He had only two daughters. His eldest daughter had married and become the mother of a nation. She was happy and fulfilled, which greatly satisfied him.

But his younger daughter was already over forty and still had no one daring to pursue her, causing him endless worry.

In terms of family background, strength, and beauty, there were truly few in Heaven Dou City who could compare to Nan Gong Qiu.

Yet she had no romantic inclinations at all. All she knew was cultivation and leading troops into battle. How could a girl go on like that?!

His expression softened slightly as Nan Gong Yunshan looked toward Qian Renxue and apologized, "Don't take what happened earlier to heart, Xue Er. Qiu Er has always been blunt and straightforward. She absolutely didn't mean it that way."

"It's fine. I won't take it to heart."

Seeing Nan Gong Yunshan apologize to her, how could Qian Renxue dare accept it? She hurriedly waved her hands in flustered embarrassment, and much of her resentment faded away.

"Xue Qinghe is fortunate to have you."

Nan Gong Yunshan nodded in satisfaction and praised her. Qian Renxue's face immediately reddened as she secretly glanced at Su Xian, her eyes shimmering.

Su Xian: !!

As expected of Grandpa! That assist that completely negated damage was fucking amazing!

Nan Gong Yunshan smiled in gratification before turning his gaze toward Su Xian. "Alright, tell me why you brat came here. You never visit the temple without a reason!"

His tone carried a hint of grievance. Su Xian smiled awkwardly before explaining his purpose.

"Land?"

Nan Gong Yunshan's expression instantly turned strange. "Doesn't your family have the final say over all the land under heaven? You should be asking your Imperial Father, Xue Ye. Why come to me?"

"Well... yesterday, I fleeced him for a bit of money. He probably won't get over it for ten days to half a month, so I came to find you instead, Grandpa." Su Xian scratched his head sheepishly as he explained.

"Oh?"

Nan Gong Yunshan immediately became interested. "Tell me. What exactly happened?"

Keeping the matter of the Soul Tool hidden, Su Xian only told him about swindling three million from Xue Ye.

Sigh~ Such an awesome achievement, and I still had to keep it under wraps.

It really felt awful inside, wahahaha...

Nan Gong Yunshan was also taken aback, then burst into laughter. "Hahaha... You really handled this beautifully. Your Imperial Father rarely suffers losses—I never expected him to stumble at your hands this time."

Patting Su Xian on the shoulder, Nan Gong Yunshan was deeply satisfied, feeling utterly delighted inside.

You ran off with my daughter back then, and now you know what it feels like to suffer, huh!

Hahaha...

How did it feel to be tricked by your own son?!

"I support you in this, grandson. The Nan Gong Family may not have much else, but we do have money."

With a grand wave of his hand, Nan Gong Yunshan agreed to Su Xian's request with outrageous extravagance. "If your Imperial Father has any objections, tell him to come find me. This old man will have a proper talk with him!"

Being able to make Xue Ye unhappy made him, as the father-in-law, feel wonderful. It couldn't be helped—he was just that overbearing!

Besides, he only had two daughters. Sooner or later, the family fortune would be left to them anyway. Rather than letting it fall into that brat Xue Ye's hands, he might as well give it to his grandson!

Su Xian:!!

Wakakaka, as expected of Grandpa. That temperament is just like mine—ah, ptooey... I should say I took after him.

"Grandpa is mighty!"

Su Xian's face was full of admiration, and he was deeply moved. "I'll eat here today and let Grandpa taste your grandson's cooking!"

"No, no, no. The last time your mother cooked, I nearly got sick from how cloying it was. These old bones of mine still want to live a few more years."

"I appreciate the thought, but there's no need for you to make dinner."

Nan Gong Yunshan hurriedly waved his hands, his face turning pale. Especially when he recalled last time, his body could not help but tremble.

One round of devilish cooking was more than enough. He could not take that kind of torment again!

Even if he starved to death, died outside, or jumped off Heaven Dou City's walls, he absolutely did not want to eat it a second time!
