Golden Ao Island.
Sect Master Tongtian said he wanted to take Yunxiao and the other two to meet their great-grandfather, and all four were overjoyed.
They were excited, happy, and nervous.
To meet the Sect Master's grandfather, a Saint, to face such an incredibly powerful being, how could they not be nervous?
It was a hundred times more nerve-wracking than a boyfriend meeting his girlfriend's parents for the first time.
"Hahahaha! Let's go!"
Seeing their expectant yet nervous expressions, Sect Master Tongtian burst into laughter and, with a wave of his hand, took them away.
Facing the wall on Golden Ao Island for a thousand years?
Screw facing the wall for a thousand years!
Sect Master Tongtian laughed heartily, "I don't give a damn about you, Dao Ancestor Hongjun!"
The mortal realm.
Not far outside Zhang Yifan's humble farmhouse.
The Jade Emperor and Queen Mother had also arrived with their daughters.
Taibai Jinxing and Wu Qu Xing Jun were responsible for pulling several ox carts, loaded with goods.
They happened to run into Sect Master Tongtian and his group.
"Saint Tongtian." The Queen Mother and the Seven Fairies offered slight bows.
"Jade Emperor, Queen Mother, esteemed Princesses."
The Three Xiaos and Zhao Gongming were startled to see the Jade Emperor's entourage, but suppressing their confusion, they also bowed.
"You have neglected your duties for 150,000 years. Do you know your crime?" The Jade Emperor nodded, but his expression was displeased.
What is this!
The Three Xiaos, Zhao Gongming, and the others were momentarily speechless and felt a surge of anger.
Just then, Sect Master Tongtian rolled his eyes and spoke up, "Enough of that! We're here to have fun, don't spoil the mood."
Looking at Sect Master Tongtian, the Jade Emperor felt grateful for his help in the Heavenly Court last time, but he still teased him, "Oh my, it's my great nephew! I didn't see you there. Little Tongtong, you're here too!"
???
Sect Master Tongtian: "You damn..."
Damn it, don't I have any pride!
Sect Master Tongtian glared at the Jade Emperor with annoyance and was about to walk into the courtyard.
At this moment, the Jade Emperor put an arm around Sect Master Tongtian's shoulder and shook him, playfully saying like he was teasing a child, "Oh, great nephew, don't be angry. Uncle is just thanking you. I'm happy to see you."
"Look, I brought so much delicious food and fine wine this time! It's all prepared for you." Shamelessly, the Jade Emperor claimed the delicacies that were originally meant for Zhang Yifan as gifts for Sect Master Tongtian.
"Get lost!" Sect Master Tongtian rolled his eyes irritably.
The Jade Emperor burst into laughter, "Hahahaha!"
The Three Xiaos and Zhao Gongming were bewildered.
What's going on?
What happened?
Is Sect Master Tongtian really the Jade Emperor's great nephew?
And Little Tongtong?
They're calling him so affectionately?
The key is that the Sect Master isn't even resisting much!
My goodness!
Am I seeing things!
Zhao Gongming rubbed his eyes vigorously.
But all of this was really happening.
Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and Bixiao, the three sisters, were also astonished, their faces filled with disbelief.
Although they had heard the Jade Emperor say so during the battle in the Heavenly Court, seeing it in person was even more shocking.
Look at these two, hugging and embracing, they don't look like a Saint and the Jade Emperor at all.
"Everyone, please come in," the Queen Mother said with a smile, appearing relatively polite.
"Queen Mother, please. Esteemed Princesses, please," Zhao Gongming and the others replied courteously.
Although they didn't understand what was happening, the Jade Emperor must have known that great-grandfather, otherwise, he wouldn't have come here.
They would discuss the relationship inside.
Then, the Queen Mother and her entourage, leading the carts laden with delicacies, entered the courtyard.
"Dad, your son and daughter-in-law are here."
"Grandpa, your granddaughters have come to see you!"
The Jade Emperor and the Seven Fairies shouted loudly.
"Uncle, Aunt! Grandpa is planting vegetables in the backyard," Yang Jian greeted them.
"Brother Tong, you're here too!" Yang Jian clapped Sect Master Tongtian on the shoulder.
Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and the others were completely bewildered.
???
Brother Tong?
What's your status, Yang Jian, to be calling Sect Master Tongtian, a Saint, brother?
"Last time, I got Old Hei and Old Jin to help me wreck Spiritual Mountain and vent your anger. Were you happy? Were you pleased?" Yang Jian roared with laughter again.
So it was Grandpa's side that made the move.
"Thank you."
Sect Master Tongtian took a deep breath and expressed his gratitude, deciding not to dwell on the status issue any longer.
"Why are you being so polite with your brother! Hahaha. Just have a few more drinks with your brother today!" Yang Jian said contentedly, patting Sect Master Tongtian again.
Oh, this!
Zhao Gongming and the others were both surprised and angry.
Yang Jian naturally saw their expressions and couldn't help but smile. "Nephew Gongming, Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, little nieces Bixiao, you're here too!"
???
???
Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, Bixiao, and Qiongxiao were all stunned.
Nephew, nieces?
Damn it, at our age, we're too old to be your grandfathers!
The four of them blushed, unsure whether to object or not, standing there in awkward embarrassment.
"Once we're in this house, let's go by the seniority within the house," Sect Master Tongtian said with a helpless wry smile, diffusing the tension for them.
"Yes."
Zhao Gongming and the others quickly nodded and, with difficulty, called out to Yang Jian, "Uncle."
"Aiyoh~" Yang Jian laughed heartily. "Say it again, I want to hear it."
"Uncle!" Zhao Gongming and the others gritted their teeth and called out.
"Hahahaha, good, good, good! Hahahaha." Yang Jian roared with laughter, feeling incredibly pleased.
Finally, finally, my status here as Yang Jian is no longer the lowest!
Oh my, I've finally turned the tables and become the master.
Yang Jian burst into laughter.
"Alright, stop messing around and go help unload the goods," the Jade Emperor said with a hidden smile, kicking Yang Jian to get him to work.
"Okay, okay, okay." Yang Jian jumped to dodge and happily went to help Queen Mother and Taibai Jinxing unload.
"Come, let's go meet your grandpa," the Jade Emperor called to Sect Master Tongtian and headed towards the backyard.
Backyard, vegetable patch.
Zhang Yifan, like an old farmer, was planting napa cabbage, one hole at a time with his hoe.
"Dad."
"Grandpa."
The Jade Emperor and Sect Master Tongtian called out.
"My son is back, and Little Tongtong is here too," Zhang Yifan said, turning around and seeing the Jade Emperor and Sect Master Tongtian.
Of course, he also saw Zhao Gongming, Yunxiao, and the others.
At this moment, Yunxiao and the others appeared as young men and women, a look Sect Master Tongtian had requested.
Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, Bixiao, and Zhao Gongming all saw the incredibly mysterious and powerful Zhang Yifan.
Is this the Great Grandfather?
He looks like an old farmer in worn linen clothes, with rolled-up pant legs and sleeves, completely like a peasant from the mortal world.
There wasn't even a ripple of magical power from him.
Are you sure this is the super powerful being who makes the Jade Emperor call him Dad and Sect Master Tongtian call him Grandpa?
"Quickly, greet Great Grandfather!" Sect Master Tongtian patted Yunxiao's shoulder and said to them.
"Greetings, Great Grandfather!" Yunxiao, Qiongxiao, and the others quickly bowed.
"Alright, alright, alright."
Zhang Yifan nodded with a smile, looking at Sect Master Tongtian with a peculiar expression. "Little Tongtong, are they your children?"
Little Tongtong looked so young; had he already had several kids?
No way?
Married at ten-something?
Zhang Yifan thought to himself, was Little Tongtong really that awesome?
Was the Primordial Era really this unconventional?
"Grandpa, these aren't my children."
Sect Master Tongtian chuckled. "They are the children of my sworn brothers. Although they aren't my biological children, I treat them as my own."
"Ohhh, I see! I was just thinking, you're only in your twenties, how could you have sons and daughters who are twelve or thirteen? You scared me. Hahaha."
Zhang Yifan burst into laughter. So, they were the children of his sworn brothers.
"Great Grandfather, we'll help you plant vegetables." Zhao Gongming and the others, seeing the awkwardness of the situation, quickly tried to smooth things over.
"Sure. How about this: you dig the holes, I'll place the seedlings, and the girls can help water them." Zhang Yifan nodded with a smile. He found it quite filial that these great-grandsons and great-granddaughters, despite wearing luxurious clothes, were willing to get their hands dirty.
"You got it!"
Zhao Gongming was overjoyed. How could he miss such an opportunity to get closer to a super-powerful being like Zhang Yifan?
As he spoke, Zhao Gongming reached out to take the hoe from Zhang Yifan.
Thump!
The moment he took the hoe, Zhao Gongming was pulled down by its immense weight and fell to the ground.
He took a huge tumble, his mouth full of dirt.
The Three Xiaos and the others were startled.
What the heck!
What was going on!
How did he just fall to the ground for no reason?!
