But I'd Already Let It Go-Steady Progress, One Step at a Time!

"What do you think happened to Yuanen Yehui?"

Upon hearing the middle-aged man's words, a sharp glint flashed in the old man's steady, earthy-yellow eyes. His aura, as deep and oppressive as a deep abyss, crushed the surrounding space, and the ground beneath his feet trembled and shook.

And he is none other than Yuanen Zhentian, the current patriarch of the Yuanen Family, a veteran Limit Douluo of level 99, and the owner of the Titan Giant Ape Martial Soul!

"Father's strength is probably close to the Quasi-God level!" The middle-aged man was shocked when he felt the pressure, but he also sighed with some sorrow.

"A God Level Limit Douluo with Three-Word Battle Armor —I'm afraid only Father possesses that trait across the entire continent..."

"Tian Shang, tell your father what the people from the Shrek Academy have been saying," Yuanen Zhentian asked Yuanen Tianshang in a deep voice.

Yuanen Yehui was his granddaughter and the daughter of his eldest son, Yuanen Tiandang. Although he had to send Yuanen Yehui away because of that catastrophe, he still always cared about her.

Furthermore, Yuanen Yehui lost his mother at a young age, and his father lost all hope of living. His grandfather even had to put on a show and speak ill of Yuanen Yehui because of that catastrophe.

Every time he thinks of that young girl who has endured so much suffering, his heart aches.

However, that catastrophe resulted in the deaths of many members of the Yuanen Family. In order to quell the anger of the clan, his eldest son willingly imprisoned himself, and sending Yuanen Yehui out was the best solution.

However, his feelings for Yuanen Yehui were genuine, so when he heard that Yuanen Yehui was in trouble, even as the head of the clan, he couldn't help but feel a little agitated.

"Father, don't worry, Yuanen Yehui is still alright." Yuanen Tianshang gestured with his hand and explained:

"Elder Li from the Shrek Academy previously told me that Yuanen Yehui is now involved with a disciple of the Body Sect."

"The Body Sect? What's going on? What's wrong with Yuanen Yehui making a friend?" Hearing that Yuanen Yehui was alright, Yuanen Zhentian relaxed a little, then asked in confusion.

"Making friends is no problem, but this disciple of the Body Sect is no ordinary person." Yuanen Tianshang couldn't help but click his tongue in surprise when he mentioned Jiang Xiu's identity mentioned by Elder Li.

"Huh? What kind of status could a disciple have?" Yuanen Zhentian was even more puzzled. As far as he knew, the Body Sect should have already declined by now.

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Tianshang said in a deep voice, "This disciple of the Body Sect is the apprentice of Body Douluo Mu Ye, and also the personal student of the Blacksmith Association President, Divine Craftsman Zhen Hua. He has close ties with the Spirit Pagoda Vice Tower Master, Heavenly Phoenix Douluo, and also tops the Genius Ranking."

Yuanen Zhentian was slightly taken aback when he heard the identities listed like a menu; each one was more astonishing than the last.

Are there really such outstanding young people in the outside world?

And is this Jiang Xiu's entire identity?

"What else did that Elder from the Shrek Academy say?" Suppressing the turmoil in his heart, Yuanen Zhentian asked.

Yuanen Tianshang hesitated for a moment before saying, "That Elder Li said we must remember the Demon Bloodline within Yuanen Yehui's Martial Soul. To keep this secret, it's best not to get involved with any major outside forces, and also to prevent anyone from leaving Shrek Academy..."

"After all, once Yuanen Yehui reaches Level 90, only Shrek Academy can handle the Demon Plane she summons. Let us think it over ourselves."

Upon hearing this, Yuanen Zhentian's thick eyebrows furrowed tightly.

"Even that Elder Li said that Jiang Xiu has connections with the Federation..." Yuanen Tianshang added.

Of course, he didn't know that Elder Li was unaware of Jiang Xiu's relationship with the Federation; the last sentence was merely an artistic embellishment.

"Hmph!" Yuanen Zhentian snorted coldly, "Shrek Academy must have some grudge against the Body Sect, insisting on making things so complicated."

He understood the gist of it when he heard the last sentence, which carried a hint of ulterior motive, but when you're under someone's roof, you have to bow your head. For now, they could only rely on the Shrek Academy to Yuanen Yehui's problem.

After all, if the fact that Yuanen Yehui could summon the Demon Plane were to leak out, it would attract far too much attention, because no one would want the Demon Plane to Advent...

Moreover, he also requested Shrek Academy to take care of Yuanen Yehui, which suggests that Yuanen Yehui's cultivation over the years must have cost Shrek Academy a lot of resources.

"Father, how about I go to Shrek City?" Yuanen Tianshang asked, noticing his father's furrowed brows.

Yuanen Zhentian looked at his second son, a hint of guilt flashing in his eyes. The calamity of that year had unfortunately taken the life of his second son's beloved wife.

Yuanen Yehui's mother was an indirect murderer, and he didn't want her to relive that painful experience because of Yuanen Yehui.

"Forget it, I'll go myself. That Body Douluo is not someone you can handle." Then, Yuanen Zhentian waved his hand and said, "You stay here and manage the family well, make sure nothing goes wrong."

After saying that, Yuanen Zhentian took a step forward with his fierce body, and countless thick yellow light spots immediately appeared around him. In an instant Yuanen Zhentian's figure disappeared from the house and appeared in the sky the next moment.

Looking down at the somewhat outdated buildings below, a hint of melancholy flashed in Yuanen Zhentian's usually calm eyes.

"Can my Yuanen Family, which is already walking on thin ice, ever reach the other side...?"

With a slight shake of his head, Yuanen Zhentian's figure completely disappeared into the horizon.

Inside the house, after watching his father leave, Yuanen Tianshang revealed a bitter smile.

"Father, are you afraid I'll harm Little Yehui?"

"But I've long since let go of the hatred in my heart. The one who truly killed Wan'er wasn't Little Yehui's mother, but that damned Demon Legion!"

"And that's my most beloved older brother's daughter!"

Yuanen Tianshang's eyes reddened slightly, and he thought bitterly.

Furthermore, back then, he represented those clansmen who died tragically. If he were to openly forgive his elder brother Yuanen Tiandang, those clansmen who lost their loved ones would certainly be unwilling, and the intact Yuanen Family would also fall apart. Therefore, he could only treat his elder brother coldly.

Along his journey, no one understood him.

Although he had already let it go,

But the older brother he once admired had completely degenerated into a useless person.

If one possessed the essence blood of a pure Titan Giant Ape of at least 100,000 years old, it might be possible to repair its damaged foundation. However, with Soul Beast now extinct, where could one find a 100,000-year-old Titan Giant Ape?

Body Sect.

Inside the main hall.

"Today we're having steamed lamb, steamed bear's paw, steamed deer tail, steamed pig's trotters, roast duck, and roast chicken..."

Looking at the dishes laid out on the table, A Ruheng introduced them as if they were his own treasures.

"Delicious! I love it!" Na'er raised her little hand, her beautiful eyes shining brightly.

"Grandmaster, why are you making so much delicious food today?" Jiang Xiu asked curiously, sitting next to Na'er.

"Haha, it was Na'er who said today is a good day and asked me to cook more delicious food," A Ruheng laughed.

At the same time, I couldn't help but sigh in my heart, Na'er is such a food connoisseur at such a young age, she ordered some expert dishes.

Jiang Xiu turned to look at Na'er and chuckled, "What's so special about today? Or are you craving something again, Na'er?"

"Hehehe, I heard Gu Yue got a zero on one of her tests, I'm happy for her... ah, not sad, I'm crying." Na'er feigned sadness, "That's why I asked my Grandmaster to make some good food to comfort my soul."

The foolish Gu Yue was defeated as soon as she left the starting village, which greatly reassured her, Great King Na'er.

Tears of sadness streamed from the corners of her mouth, didn't they? Seeing Na'er's eyes shining, Jiang Xiu chuckled helplessly to himself.

"Junior brother, Na'er, you two eat first. I'll go deliver something to Uncle Zhen Hua," A Ruheng said.

Jiang Xiu raised an eyebrow upon hearing this. "Oh? Grandmaster, what are you going to send to Teacher?"

"It's the Nine Dragon Blood Qi Potion developed by Master," A Ruheng replied.

He then quickly walked to Jiang Xiu's side and lowered his voice, saying, "In the past two years, based on Master's potions, I, your senior brother, have developed several other potions. Junior brother, take a look."

As he spoke, A Ruheng took out a silver box containing tubes of different medicines, each with a different label.

"Junior brother, this is Tyrant Dragon, this is Velociraptor, this is Giganotosaurus..." A Ruheng pointed to the potion and introduced it:

"There are nine types in total, each with different effects. There's bound to be one that suits you. Junior brother, would you like to get an acupuncture treatment?"

"No, no, no, Grandmaster, you go ahead and use it." Jiang Xiu quickly waved his hand when he saw this.

He knew these were the essence extracted from spiritual herbs and posed no particular harm, but he possessed the Golden Dragon King Origin, ensuring a sufficient supply of vital energy.

More importantly, it would be bad if it became pointy-shaped.

"Alright then, I originally wanted you, junior brother, to work together with your senior brother in a steady and methodical way," A Ruheng said regretfully.

"But senior brother, why would our teacher want this?" Jiang Xiu asked, puzzled.

"Uncle-Master Zhen Hua said that the spiritual medicines Master used to concoct were all too weak, but after taking this injection before forging, the forging is full of energy again," A Ruheng chuckled.

"I see..." Jiang Xiu nodded slightly, but something seemed off. He hadn't seen his teacher for more than half a year since his teacher took on a Four-Word Battle Armor order.

No, he needs to find time to see his teacher, partly to check if everything is alright, since he only has this one Divine Craftsman as his master. It wouldn't be good if bad news came from the Heavenly Forging.

The second is to inquire about the forging techniques of the Divine Craftsman.

The Ant Emperor was always seeking improvement; he needed to acquire more secrets related to forging techniques.

"Alright, then I'll be going now, Senior Brother." Seeing that Jiang Xiu didn't need it, A Ruheng packed up his box, waved, and walked out of the sect.

Uncle Zhen Hua is still waiting for him!

But as soon as they stepped out of the main hall, A Ruheng turned back and added, "You have to drink that steamed egg custard by sipping it from the side, otherwise it won't taste authentic."

"No problem!" Na'er waved her little hand and said. She was an old gourmand who could eat Soul Beast and Blue Silver Grass, and she had already memorized these things.

After A Ruheng left, only Jiang Xiu and Na'er remained in the main hall.

"By the way, boss, Gu Yue said she wants to meet us in two days. What do you think?" Na'er took a big gulp of her drink and looked at Jiang Xiu with her beautiful eyes.

She could tell at a glance that Gu Yue had ill intentions, so she had to discuss it with her boss beforehand.

Na'er never gives up!
