"You little bastard, you've really made something of yourself. You went out adventuring for twenty years, and not only got me a grandson, but a grandson-in-law too. It's just that this little Tongtong seems a bit..."

Zhang Yifan stared blankly at Sect Master Tongtian, then pointed at his own head and glanced at the Jade Emperor. He was hinting that perhaps the child had suffered a head injury. Why else would he seem so slow? He was nothing like Yang Jian.

Seeing that Sect Master Tongtian was still standing there dazed, the Jade Emperor raised his hand and smacked him on the back of the head.

"What are you spacing out for? Hurry up and call him Grandpa!"

That slap from the Jade Emperor jolted Sect Master Tongtian awake, and it also infuriated him.

Seeing Sect Master Tongtian at a loss, the Jade Emperor nearly died laughing. He coaxed him like a child, saying, "Little Tongtong, be good. Hurry up and call him Grandpa~"

Yang Jian, standing nearby, secretly snickered and gave the Jade Emperor a thumbs-up. The Jade Emperor raised his eyebrows in response, secretly pleased with himself.

Crack, crack, crack! Sect Master Tongtian's fist, hidden inside his long sleeve, clenched with loud cracks. His old face flushed bright red.

Calling this mysterious powerhouse Zhang Yifan Grandpa was fine.

But the crucial point was that once he called him Grandpa, he would truly become the Jade Emperor's nephew!

Damn it!

But if he refused to call him that, this boundless opportunity would probably pass him by forever, leaving him no chance at all.

Seeing Sect Master Tongtian still struggling, Yang Jian walked over, put an arm around his shoulders, and spoke as though comforting him. "Brother Tong, hurry up and call him Grandpa. Look, Grandpa is so kind and adorable. Hurry and call him Grandpa. Grandpa will cook something delicious for you at noon!"

Damn it!

Sect Master Tongtian felt his blood rush straight to his head. His skull was about to explode!

The Jade Emperor's words had already been infuriating enough. But what the hell did Yang Jian think he was doing? How dare he put an arm around his shoulders and call him Brother Tong?

Damn it!

If they had been outside the courtyard, Yang Jian would already have been reduced to a pile of ashes.

"Brother Tong, hurry and call him~" Yang Jian sneered inwardly, while grinning brightly on the surface.

Seeing this scene, the Jade Emperor laughed wildly inside. The smile on his face was about to break through, so he could only secretly pinch his thigh hard to stop himself from laughing aloud.

But the Jade Emperor had already been laughing his head off internally!

Brother Tong! What a wonderful Brother Tong!

Hahahahahaha!

Well done, Yang Jian!

As expected of my good nephew!

The Jade Emperor also secretly gave Yang Jian a thumbs-up. Yang Jian responded with a grin and a blink.

These two uncle and nephew were unbelievable. They were pulling this little stunt right under Tongtian's nose. Were they trying to keep Tongtian from living?

Zhang Yifan did not notice the little exchange between the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian. He merely waved his hand. "Forget it, forget it. Little Tongtong is here for the first time, so he may be a little nervous. He'll get used to it after spending more time here."

"If you don't call him Grandpa today, don't come back again."

The Jade Emperor refused to relent. He insisted on making Sect Master Tongtian speak and even threatened him.

"If you don't call him Grandpa today, don't come back again."

After hearing that, Sect Master Tongtian gradually calmed down.

Why had he come in just now? Wasn't it for the opportunity that might exist here?

If he could not come again in the future, what opportunity would there be?

Sect Master Tongtian gave the Jade Emperor a cold look, then glanced at Yang Jian before using every ounce of his strength to squeeze two words through his clenched teeth. "Grandpa."

"Brother Tong, speak louder. Grandpa isn't going to eat you." Yang Jian was still grinning as he shook Sect Master Tongtian's shoulders.

That little Jade Emperor!

Sect Master Tongtian hated him with all his heart.

Why hadn't he established their identities first outside the courtyard?

Sect Master Tongtian threw caution to the wind and shouted, "Hello, Grandpa!"

"Oh, good boy! At noon, Grandpa will cook something delicious and nourish your brain." Zhang Yifan responded with a kindly smile, reaching out to stroke Sect Master Tongtian's head.

Once the words were out, Sect Master Tongtian actually relaxed. "Thank you, Grandpa."

"Yes, you really need to nourish your brain properly~ Hehehehe~" the Jade Emperor said with a suppressed laugh, nodding.

The moment he turned around, he burst out laughing, tears nearly streaming from his eyes.

It was fortunate that the Jade Emperor was highly capable. He actually managed not to laugh like a pig. Yang Jian, meanwhile, had long since been unable to hold back. He bit his fist with his teeth, but the corners of his eyes were already wet with laughter.

Ah, that felt so good.

Seeing that the Jade Emperor's son was still laughing, Zhang Yifan kicked him, then said to Sect Master Tongtian, "All right, Little Tongtong, don't be nervous. Grandpa will go cook some food first. You two can walk around the courtyard."

Watching Zhang Yifan leave and enter the house, the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian could no longer hold themselves back.

"Hahahahahahaha!"

"Hahahahahahaha!"

"Little Tongtong! Hahahaha!"

"Hahahahahaha!"

The Jade Emperor and Yang Jian laughed until they rolled around on the ground. They looked nothing like the Heavenly Emperor of the Heavenly Court, nor did they resemble mighty heavenly deities. They were simply two living clowns.

"Hmph. If you dare call me that again..." Sect Master Tongtian's voice was icy.

"Don't be like that~ Once a nephew, always a nephew!" The Jade Emperor was completely unafraid and laughingly shot back.

"Exactly. Little Tongtong, Brother Tong—once a younger brother, always a younger brother." Yang Jian was unwilling to be outdone and continued teasing him.

Sect Master Tongtian raised a finger and wagged it. He wanted to curse them out, but in the end, he could not bring himself to do so. He angrily shook his sleeve and left the orchard, heading toward the house.

"Hahahahaha!"

Watching Sect Master Tongtian leave, the Jade Emperor and Yang Jian burst into laughter again.

After laughing for a while, the Jade Emperor patted Yang Jian on the shoulder. "My good nephew, well done!"

"It was all thanks to my mighty uncle. I saw that you wanted to trample Sect Master Tongtian's status and position, so I admired you greatly and followed your lead. Besides, with Grandpa here, what is there to fear?"

"That's right! With my Father and your Grandpa here, what is there to fear?" the Heavenly Emperor said with a laugh.

"This is the kind of Heavenly Emperor I want to become. Even a Saint is nothing more than a chess piece in my hand, a dog at my feet!" The Jade Emperor sighed with emotion. This was the image of a Heavenly Emperor he had dreamed of becoming!

Here, with Zhang Yifan, the Jade Emperor had broken through the shackles in his heart and the psychological barrier that made Saints seem untouchably supreme. His mental realm had reached an unprecedented height.

What Saint? They were nothing special. They were merely that.

In the small farmhouse courtyard.

Sect Master Tongtian walked around, examining everything.

The more he looked around the courtyard, the more shocked he became.

He had just seen the Kirin Ancestor and Big Black Dog.

Sect Master Tongtian faintly felt that the Kirin Ancestor's strength was probably comparable to a Saint's. Even with his own Saint-level strength and cultivation, he could only see them hazily and could not understand them clearly.

Apart from the Kirin Ancestor and Big Black Dog, Sect Master Tongtian had also seen the Nine Ten-Legged Golden Crows in the tree.

The strength of each of these Ten-Legged Golden Crows was unfathomable, far surpassing that of ordinary Quasi-Saint powerhouses.

"Chaos Breathing Soil, the Kirin Ancestor, the Ten-Legged Golden Crows, and the suppression of cultivation the moment one enters the house. None of these things resemble what a primordial powerhouse could accomplish. Could this Grandpa be a Great Dao Sage?"

"Could a Great Dao Sage truly be this terrifying?"

Although he had yet to see the Dragon Ancestor or the other things here, Sect Master Tongtian was already sufficiently shaken.

Noon arrived.

Zhang Yifan cooked several dishes.

In particular, he cooked several portions of pig brains for Little Tongtong.

As the saying went, eating brains nourished the brain.

Seeing that Sect Master Tongtian's head did not seem to work very well, Zhang Yifan naturally wanted to nourish it for him.

"What a wonderful aroma!"

Sitting at the dining table, Sect Master Tongtian sniffed and could not help praising it.

Even he, a Saint, felt that the food smelled delicious.

Moreover, within the fragrance was a faint trace of the aura of the Great Dao Laws, which was extremely astonishing.

"If it smells good, eat more." Zhang Yifan smiled and placed a pig brain in Sect Master Tongtian's bowl. "Come, Little Tongtong, eat more of this today. It's good stuff—very nourishing."

"That's right, my nephew. Eat more and nourish your brain." The Jade Emperor laughed.

Sect Master Tongtian sighed in despair. This Jade Emperor really was asking for a beating.

"You blockhead, teasing him again! Don't you know Little Tongtong is nervous because this is his first time here? And you're still saying things like that."

Zhang Yifan raised his hand and smacked the Jade Emperor on the head with his chopsticks, leaving the Jade Emperor looking aggrieved.

"At noon, have a little wine with your old man. Those two youngsters can drink some tea."

"Sure!"

The Jade Emperor's eyes lit up. That wine was excellent. He accepted a jar of wine.

He had lived here for a month before, and had drunk wine every day. His cultivation had shot upward, and he had nearly reached the strength of a peak Quasi-Saint.
