Flender called into the carriage:
"Friend in the carriage, if it's convenient, could you come down so we can meet?"
"Kid, by seniority, you should be calling me Uncle."
A man stepped down. He looked younger than both the Grandmaster and Flender, but the moment the Grandmaster saw his face, his mouth fell open in shock. He barely managed to force out one word:
"Dad."
This man was Yu Yuanzhen. He walked over to the Grandmaster.
"Xiao Gang."
Having only recently read the letter Yu Yuanzhen had sent him, and now seeing Yu Yuanzhen in person, the Grandmaster could no longer suppress his emotions. He threw his arms around Yu Yuanzhen and wept like a child.
"Dad, Dad—"
Yu Yuanzhen patted the Grandmaster's back.
"Xiao Gang, all these years, it was Dad who wronged you. You've suffered."
Watching the father and son before him, Flender was naturally astonished to encounter Yu Yuanzhen, the Clan Head of the Blue Lightning Tyrant Dragon Clan, in Spirit City. But he had never expected the Grandmaster to react so intensely. At that moment, he neither knew what to say nor what to do.
After his emotions had finally run their course, the Grandmaster wiped away his tears and said to Flender:
"Boss Flender, go on inside first. I want to spend some time alone with my father."
Flender nodded and walked into the lodging.
Yu Yuanzhen also signaled for the coachman to leave before turning to the Grandmaster.
"Xiao Gang, let's talk as we walk."
The moment Flender entered through the gates, Tang San noticed that the Grandmaster had not come in with him and asked:
"Dean, where's Teacher?"
Flender chuckled.
"Little San, don't worry. Xiao Gang ran into someone he hasn't seen in a long time and just wants to have a chat."
