Grandson-in-Law

Hearing the arrogant and domineering shouts outside the courtyard, Song Wen looked at Cui Qiao with a face full of doubt.

"Fairy Qiao, who is that person outside?"

Cui Qiao's expression was gloomy as she muttered curses under her breath.

"It's that bitch Cui Xin!"

It was easy to tell from her expression that she had a poor relationship with the female cultivator outside the door.

"I'm new here and have never interacted with her before. Why do I get the feeling that she's up to no good?"

"She came to demand 'filial piety money,' so naturally she has ill intentions."

As soon as Cui Qiao uttered her words, her expression became slightly embarrassed.

She came here for the same purpose.

However, she and Song Wen got along very well. Besides, she didn't lack the 'filial piety money' that Song Wen gave her; what she enjoyed was the sense of superiority of being high above others and stepping on them.

Therefore, after Song Wen's flattery, she gave up the idea of asking for 'filial piety money'.

"Filial piety money? I used to be Rogue Cultivator, penniless, with only one hundred Mid-Grade Spirit Stone I won in the competition. What is she after?" Song Wen said with a worried expression.

Cui Qiao sneered, "Don't worry, with me here, no one will dare to ask you for anything."

Song Wen hurriedly stood up, his face full of gratitude, and cupped his hands in thanks.

"Thank you for your help, Fairy Qiao. If you ever need my help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask. I will do my utmost, even at the cost of my life."

Cui Qiao waved her hand, "I helped you because I think you're a good person and consider you a friend. I didn't expect anything in return."

"Thump, thump, thump..."

Growing impatient, Cui Xin pounded on the courtyard gate from the outside.

If it weren't for the array barrier around the courtyard gate, it probably would have been smashed to pieces long ago.

"Let's go! Let's go out and meet Cui Xin!"

The two walked out of the Small Courtyard one after the other.

"Cui Xin, do you want to die?" Cui Qiao said coldly.

Seeing Song Wen and Cui Qiao walk out of the courtyard one after the other, a mocking smile appeared on Cui Xin's face.

"Tsk tsk tsk... I was wondering why no one answered the door for so long. Turns out, you two were having a secret rendezvous here. Cui Qiao, you're really insatiable. He just arrived at Handsome Peak and you're already throwing yourself into my arms."

Cui Qiao, her face contorted with anger, snapped, "Cui Xin, watch your mouth!"

"What, you dare to do it but not want people to talk about it!"

"Senior, you've misunderstood. Fairy Qiao and I were just having a chat in the courtyard."

Song Wen's lack of explanation only made things worse; Cui Xin's expression became even more sarcastic upon hearing his explanation.

"You've even invited Fairy Qiao, and you still say there's nothing improper about it? Cui Qiao, your affair with someone of a different clan will soon be known throughout the entire Azurefall Mountain. Hahaha..."

Cui Xin stepped onto the flying sword and soared into the sky.

"Cui Xin, how dare you!"

Cui Qiao, being an unmarried woman, valued her reputation highly and hurriedly chased after him on her sword.

Song Wen watched the two women's disappearing figures and shook his head. These two women seemed to have nothing better to do than cause trouble for no reason.

He closed the courtyard gate and searched for Cui Huo's residence in various courtyards on Handsome Peak.

However, after searching the entire Handsome Peak and asking more than a dozen Qi Refining Stage cultivators he happened to meet, not a single one knew where Cui Huo lived.

After searching in vain, Song Wen could only return to his Small Courtyard and pretend to be meditating and cultivating.

As dusk fell.

Suddenly, a figure appeared in the sky above the Small Courtyard.

The newcomer exuded an imposing aura without being angry, carrying with him a powerful and majestic presence.

The array within the courtyard was completely ineffective in blocking its Divine Sense, Divine Sense broke through the array and locked onto Song Wen.

Song Wen stepped out of the room with a look of panic and astonishment, staring into the air.

"Greetings, senior. May I ask which senior you are visiting?"

Song Wen recognized the other person the moment they appeared.

The visitor was Cui Gu, Cui Qiao's biological grandfather.

Cui Gu remained expressionless, scanning Song Wen's physical body several times with his Divine Sense before speaking coldly.

"You are Wei Ding?"

"Yes, it is I."

"There are rumors that you and Qiao'er fell in love at first sight. Is that true?"

Song Wen looked panicked and hurriedly denied it.

"Senior, you are wise. Fairy Cui Qiao is as beautiful as a fairy, intelligent and kind-hearted, and a noble lady of the Cui Family. I am merely a newcomer to the Cui Family, a member of a different clan, and I only have reverence for her. How could I dare to have any improper thoughts?"

Cui Gu, "You don't need to be nervous. I mean you no harm. I'm not the kind of person who's stuck in the old ways. As long as Qiao'er is happy, I won't interfere in your affairs as young people. I came here today simply to see you with my own eyes. Just a casual reminder: Cui Qiao is my granddaughter, my only family in this world. If you approach her for ulterior motives, I will make you wish you were dead."

As soon as he finished speaking, Cui Gu's figure disappeared into the sky above the Small Courtyard.

Song Wen's expression was somewhat strange.

What does "Cui Gu" mean?

He wants me to be his granddaughter's husband?

In addition, Cui Xin kept her word and made sure the matter reached Cui Gu's ears so quickly.

Not long after Cui Gu left, Cui Qiao's voice could be heard again outside the courtyard.

"Wei Ding, open the door."

"Fairy Qiao, what brings you here?" Song Wen asked after opening the courtyard gate.

Cui Qiao looked unwell and walked straight into the Small Courtyard.

"That bitch Cui Xin spreads rumors everywhere. Now half of the Cui Family thinks I'm with you," Cui Qiao said through gritted teeth.

Song Wen looked panicked, his face filled with unease and shame.

"What should I do? I am of humble birth and do not care about reputation; however, if I were to tarnish the fairy's reputation because of this, I would be guilty beyond redemption."

Seeing Song Wen's anxious and concerned expression, Cui Qiao's expression softened slightly.

"This matter has nothing to do with you; it was all caused by Cui Xin."

"But..." Song Wen stammered, unable to give a reason for a long time.

"But what? Just say what you have to say," Cui Qiao said.

Song Wen hesitated for a moment before slowly speaking.

"Your grandfather was just here."

"My grandfather came! What did he say?" Cui Qiao pressed.

"Your grandfather said he doesn't object to what we did before."

Song Wen's gaze towards Cui Qiao suddenly became intense, his expression carrying a hint of expectation.

Cui Qiao's cheeks flushed slightly, and her expression turned somewhat annoyed.

"Grandpa is really... really... and you, you're absolutely audacious."

Cui Qiao glared angrily at Song Wen.

A moment later, she stomped her foot angrily, turned around, and ran out of the courtyard.

"Fairy Qiao, wait a moment."

Cui Qiao stopped at the doorway, without turning around, her back to Song Wen.

Is there anything else?

"I want... the fairy's Message Jade Slip."

"For you."

Cui Qiao tossed out a Jade Slip.

She mounted her flying sword and soared into the air.

"Fairy, don't forget to help me find out where Cui Huo lives," Song Wen shouted.

"Knew."

Cui Qiao's voice lingered in the sky, but her figure had vanished.
