Xiao Yan's Resentment

Hearing his daughter's call, Xiao Yan, who was in a daze, finally came to his senses.

"Call out"

Taking a step forward, covering a hundred meters was merely a matter of lifting one's foot for Xiao Yan.

"Father!"

Once again, Xiao Xiao let out an excited shout.

Upon seeing Xiao Yan arrive, Xiao Lin first looked him up and down, then handed the restless little Xiao Xiao to Xiao Yan.

Seeing this, Xiao Xiao opened her arms, and Xiao Yan instantly took her from his grandfather's arms.

Honestly, looking at this scene of fatherly love and filial piety, it's hard to imagine that during the Great Ruler era, Xiao Xiao would address her father as "Old Deng" all the time...

Of course, that's a story for another time.

Furthermore, without Zi Yan's influence, Xiao Xiao might not necessarily have turned out the way she did in the Original Work.

At this moment, after handing Xiao Xiao to Xiao Yan, Xiao Lin smiled and nodded in satisfaction, saying, "Not bad, you've already reached the cultivation level of Early-Stage Three-Star Dou Sheng plus Heaven Realm Great Perfection soul!"

At this moment, Xiao Lin laid his cards on the table; he was no longer pretending!

After all, Xiao Yan had already witnessed what happened in that last scene, so there was no point in pretending anymore.

Xiao Lin may enjoy playing pranks on Xiao Yan, but he has never treated Xiao Yan like a fool!

At this moment, with Xiao Lin pointing out Xiao Yan's true cultivation level, the latter was no longer surprised.

The fact that his grandfather could keep it from him for so long without letting him see through it clearly showed that he was quite capable.

Xiao Yan already understood this point.

"Phew, Grandpa, I think you should explain something to me now, right?"

You could tell from Xiao Yan's tone that there was a deep sense of resentment.

"You brat, you're turning against the Heavenly Gang, aren't you? You want your grandpa to explain to you? What do you want if I don't explain?"

However, to Xiao Yan's surprise...

He originally thought that after he saw through his grandfather's disguise, his grandfather would be embarrassed to come.

But what's going on now?

Why doesn't my grandfather follow the expected path?

Xiao Lin's reaction clearly left Xiao Yan somewhat dumbfounded.

What does he want?

What could he possibly do to his own grandfather?

At this moment, Xiao Yan truly understood what it meant to be suppressed by one's status!

"I, I..."

Sure enough, even Xiao Yan, who had already achieved the status of Three-Star Dou Sheng and the Heaven Realm Great Perfection, was speechless at his grandfather's self-righteous attitude.

However, due to the constraints of his status, Xiao Yan found that he seemed unable to do anything for his grandfather.

This made him very frustrated.

"Grandpa, you can't do this!"

This time, when Xiao Yan spoke, his voice contained not only resentment but also grievance.

Anyone who didn't know better would think he had done something wrong.

How am I?

Xiao Lin continued to tease Xiao Yan at a leisurely pace.

Xiao Yan felt incredibly angry, but he had nowhere to vent his anger...

At this moment, Xiao Yan suddenly thought of something, and a glint of light flashed in his eyes.

"Grandpa, if you insist on doing this, I won't let you take care of Xiao Xiao anymore!"

Xiao Yan uttered a vicious "threat".

Sure enough, the moment Xiao Yan finished speaking, Xiao Lin, who thought he had no "weaknesses," froze.

"You brat, how dare you!"

Xiao Lin hardened his fist.

That brat actually used Xiao Xiao to threaten me!

As for Xiao Xiao, whom Xiao Yan mentioned, she was currently listening to her great-grandfather and father talking in a completely bewildered manner.

This topic is a bit too profound; even though she's almost seven, she wouldn't understand it!

Grandpa, I... I'm serious!

Xiao Yan was obviously lying.

No matter what, he wouldn't do something like preventing his daughter from getting close to her grandfather!

The reason he made such a "harsh" statement was simply to express his attitude.

He was completely deceived by his own grandfather from beginning to end; isn't it reasonable for him to demand justice?

As for Xiao Lin, he could certainly see the determination in Xiao Yan's eyes, as well as a hint of guilt, when Xiao Yan said those words.

His persistence stemmed from his genuine desire to uncover the secrets of his grandfather.

He felt guilty because he had used Xiao Xiao to threaten his grandfather.

"You little rascal... alright, whatever you want to know, I'll try my best to tell you, is that alright?"

Shaking his head helplessly with a smile, Xiao Lin made some concessions.

As for the hidden meaning in his words, it means that I will tell you what you asked, but I will not bring up what you didn't ask!

After all, although Xiao Yan had glimpsed some of his strength because of his earlier attack, he hadn't completely revealed his true colors yet, had he?

Hearing his grandfather say this, Xiao Yan finally showed a satisfied expression.

Afterwards, the three generations of the family continued to travel within the territory of the Starfall Pavilion, and Xiao Yan also asked his grandfather some questions.

As for the earlier incident where the Soul Hall tried to kidnap Xiao Xiao, Xiao Yan has already kept this grudge in his heart, but he will not deal with it immediately.

Now, he desperately wants to know the secret about his grandfather!

In the past, my grandfather was stubborn, and even when I hit him in the face with a "big spice," he would still keep pretending.

Now that his grandfather had finally revealed a weakness, how could he let this opportunity slip by?

"Grandpa, before you handed me the teacher's Storage Ring, did you already know that the teacher's soul was inside it?"

This was the first question Xiao Yan asked.

At the same time, this was also a question that he had struggled with countless times!

He had suspected many times that his grandfather had done it on purpose!

Unfortunately, at that time, I had no evidence, and my grandfather liked to play dumb, so I was fooled.

Now, he must figure this out first!

"Ah, you mean this? That's right, I've known about your teacher for a long time! Actually, that Storage Ring was originally brought by your mother from Central Plains to the Northwest Continent."

However, your mother's body couldn't supply the Storage Ring's needs, so I took it from her.

Then, after you were born, I discovered that you had some personality issues, so I asked your teacher to help correct them.

There was indeed no need to hide the answer to this question from Xiao Yan anymore.

"Um, Grandpa, I was young and didn't know any better, so..."

When talking about his personality issues from childhood, Xiao Yan became genuinely embarrassed.

Now, when Xiao Yan looks back on his childhood personality, he also feels that there were serious problems with it!

However, he couldn't tell his grandfather about the time travel, so he could only explain it away as being immature.

However, Xiao Yan had no idea that his grandfather was fully aware of his situation!

It can be said that from the very beginning, Xiao Lin had already planned to have Yao Lao help train Xiao Yan.

Of course, it was only after experiencing the ups and downs of life that Xiao Yan felt a sense of belonging to this family.
