An Unusual Grandpa
"Big brother, second brother!"
After leaving his room, Xiao Yan rushed to find Xiao Ding and Xiao Li.
As it happened, the two brothers were talking about something at that moment.
When they saw Xiao Yan arrive, the two brothers immediately exchanged knowing smiles.
"Xiao Yan, why are you in such a hurry to find us? Is something the matter?"
Xiao Ding asked, somewhat surprised.
"Hehe, Xiao Yan, I thought you'd be spending all this time with Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin, your two younger siblings. Why did you suddenly think of your older brother and me?"
Xiao Li looked at Xiao Yan, who had just walked in, with a hint of teasing in his eyes and joked.
His eldest brother's words were fine, but his second brother's teasing made Xiao Yan chuckle awkwardly.
However, Xiao Yan was thick-skinned enough to quickly pretend nothing was wrong and walked over.
"Xiao Yi Xian and Cai Lin are taking care of Xiao Xiao now. Also, my eldest sister-in-law and second sister-in-law should be here too, right?"
Xiao Yan then launched a "counterattack" without hesitation.
Sure enough, as soon as Xiao Yan uttered the terms "eldest sister-in-law" and "second sister-in-law," both Xiao Ding and Xiao Li's expressions stiffened.
After preparing to go to Central Plains, Yao Ye has now moved into the Xiao Household's residence.
In addition, because Xiao Xiao is the youngest fourth generation member of the Xiao Household, not only Xiao Yi Xian, but also Xue Lan and Yao Ye are very fond of the little girl.
Before Xiao Yan even came to find his elder brothers, he had already heard that the women in the family had already gotten together.
Afterwards, the three brothers chatted amongst themselves.
Since they had nothing to do anyway, they were just waiting for their parents to finish arranging various things before heading to Central Plains.
However, as the conversation continued, under Xiao Yan's deliberate guidance, it veered into a topic he wanted to explore.
"By the way, eldest brother, second brother, you still haven't told me which sect in Zhongzhou Grandpa took you to after your coming-of-age ceremony in the Xiao family?"
Xiao Yan asked casually.
Back then, Xiao Yan thought his grandfather was just a Dou Wang. Even if he made some friends in Central Plains, he could only get his eldest and second brothers into a force with Dou Emperor or Dou Zong members.
The latter suggests he overestimated future possibilities!
However, now, Xiao Yan has long since banished this idea from his mind.
How could a Dou Emperor or Dou Zong faction possibly cultivate two Dou Venerable?
Moreover, even if they had the ability, how could they possibly accomplish it in such a short time?
His eldest and second eldest brothers are Six-Star Dou Venerable and Five-Star Dou Venerable, respectively. If he hadn't used the Flame Mantra to cheat and absorbed five Heavenly Flames, he would definitely not be as good as his two brothers now!
So Xiao Yan was puzzled: which faction had his eldest and second brothers joined?
Seeing Xiao Yan's probing gaze, Xiao Ding and Xiao Li exchanged a glance and couldn't help but smile at each other.
At this moment, they naturally realized that their younger brother had come to test them!
That makes sense.
If Xiao Yan remained oblivious to all the unusual things that the two of them and their grandfather had revealed, they would start to doubt Xiao Yan intelligence!
Unfortunately, they had been ordered by their grandfather not to tell Xiao Yan these things directly!
Of course, if Xiao Yan deduced it himself, then they would have nothing to say.
But if his grandfather knew that Xiao Yan learned the truth from them, he'd probably start setting traps for them the very next day!
Therefore, in this matter, the two brothers tacitly decided to let Xiao Yan suffer a bit.
That way, their grandfather wouldn't try to cheat them.
"You guess."
Faced with Xiao Yan's probing, Xiao Li responded with a half-smile.
Xiao Yan: "..."
Alright, alright, so your two older brothers and grandfather were indeed hiding a big secret from you!
Xiao Yan could already guess this from the expressions on his two older brothers' faces.
"Xiao Yan, it's not that we don't want to tell you, but Grandpa's arrangements for you are different from ours. I think you should understand that, right?"
Otherwise, your grandfather would have brought you to Central Plains after your coming -Coming-of-Age Ceremony.
But Grandpa didn't do that. What do you think is the reason?
Just as Xiao Yan was looking speechless, Xiao Ding spoke up.
Xiao Ding's words contained a hint, but he didn't say it too explicitly.
Immediately, Xiao Yan also fell into deep thought because of his elder brother's words.
Similarly, Xiao Yan might not have noticed it before, but now he must have sensed something was wrong!
Just as his eldest brother said, his grandfather's arrangements for him and his two older brothers were clearly different!
Besides what his elder brother said about not bringing him to Central Plains, there was also the ring that held his teacher's soul...
Why did his own grandfather specifically send the Yao Lao to his side?
Most importantly, how did his grandfather discover his teacher's existence?
Could a Dou Wang truly discover the Remnant Soul of his teacher that was hidden within his Storage Ring?
Furthermore, he vaguely remembered that his teacher seemed to be very reluctant to talk about his grandfather's affairs.
He had talked about his grandfather in front of his teacher several times, but his teacher would quickly change the subject.
At that time, he really didn't feel anything.
But now that he had some doubts, he suddenly realized that his grandfather was riddled with problems!
I remember that not long ago, he thought his grandfather was the most normal person in the whole family.
However, not long after that, he discovered that his grandfather, who seemed the most normal in the family, had suddenly become the most abnormal!
Grandpa, how many secrets are you hiding from me?
Xiao Yan couldn't help but ask himself this question.
At this moment, the more he thought about it, the more he felt that something was wrong with his grandfather.
In Xiao Yan's heart, his once Ordinary Dou Wang grandfather now seemed to be shrouded in mystery!
"Alright, Xiao Yan, you suddenly came to see me and my older brother, probably to try and find out Grandpa's secret from us, right? Unfortunately, we can't tell you that."
If you want to know Grandpa's secret, you'll have to find it yourself.
Actually, although Grandpa has many secrets, if you think about it carefully and go out more, you can still discover something.
This is all your older brother and I can tell you.
Seeing Xiao Yan frowning in deep thought, Xiao Li simply shrugged.
This time, Xiao Li's hint was even more obvious than Xiao Ding's earlier!
"Think carefully? Travel more? Where to travel to?"
At this moment, Xiao Yan quickly grasped the key words from his second brother's words.
Especially "walk around more"!
Xiao Yan felt that his second brother must be hinting at a place where he could find his grandfather's secret.
But where exactly is it?
