The Skunked Angler

Although Xiao Yan often complains that his grandfather likes to trick him, his respect for his grandfather is absolutely genuine!

Therefore, when Xiao Yan saw his grandfather safe and sound, and even in the mood to fish, he felt relieved and very happy.

Besides seeking help from Supreme Elder Lin, his main reason for coming to the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace was to check on his grandfather's condition.

As for Xiao Yan, he didn't know what was going on either.

When his grandfather was weak, he worried that his grandfather would not be able to protect himself.

However, when his grandfather's strength exceeded his expectations, he worried that something unexpected might happen if his grandfather clashed with the Hun Clan.

After all, his grandfather was also a member of the Xiao Household!

In this situation, if his grandfather were to be discovered alone outside, regardless of whether the Hun Clan knew of his grandfather's strength, they would definitely send someone to harm him; that's for sure!

This led to Xiao Yan's inner conflict.

He was worried that his grandfather wasn't strong enough and wouldn't be able to protect himself if he encountered the Hun Clan, but he was also afraid that his grandfather was too strong and would attract the attention of powerful members of the Hun Clan who would secretly attack him.

Therefore, until he saw that his grandfather was safe and sound, Xiao Yan's heart was in his throat.

Now I can finally let it go.

However, just as Xiao Yan excitedly ran over, expecting his grandfather to have the same expression upon seeing him, the result was completely unexpected...

"You're here, so what's all the noise about? The fish were already hooked, and now you've scared them all away!"

Compared to when Lin Xiao faced Xiao Yan, Xiao Lin were completely opposite!

He is Lin Xiao, Xiao Yan's reliable Supreme Elder Lin!

He almost always grants Xiao Yan's requests.

However, when he faced Xiao Lin Yan as Xiao Yan...

Don't ask, just keep criticizing!

Seeing Xiao Yan walking forward with a grin, Xiao Lin rolled his eyes at his silly grandson.

Uh~

Xiao Yan's smile froze after being rebuked by his grandfather, and he then wore a speechless expression.

How can the differences between people be so vast?

Supreme Elder Lin gentle, kind, and reliable!

But what about my own grandfather?

They're either trying to sabotage him or they're deliberately attacking him!

He's having a really tough time.

In Xiao Yan's mind, his grandfather and Supreme Elder Lin were two people with opposite personalities!

I wonder what kind of expression Xiao Yan will have when he finds out they are the same person?

Of course, this was actually something Xiao Lin deliberately put on in front of Xiao Yan.

This was to prevent Xiao Yan from connecting him with his alias!

After all, who would have thought that two people with completely opposite personalities would actually be the same person?

Xiao Yan is actually quite regretful now.

I should have chosen a different name for my online alias more carefully.

Even changing "Lin Xiao" to "Ling Xiao" would be better!

That way, at least he won't have to pretend to have two different personalities anymore...

However, there's no going back now; after all, he was terrible at naming things.

I just didn't want to think too much at the time, so I was pretty casual about it.

This has made him extremely careful to prevent Xiao Yan from thinking in that direction!

This is why Xiao Yan didn't participate in the Alchemist Grand Tournament of the Jia Ma Empire in this life under the alias "Yan Xiao" as in the Original Work; otherwise, he might have already been identified by the other party!

At this moment, after being rebuked by his grandfather, Xiao Yan subconsciously looked to the side.

There was a bamboo fish basket there.

But Xiao Yan noticed it after just one glance.

It was completely empty; there wasn't a single fish inside!

In that instant, Xiao Yan understood!

No wonder my grandfather was so irritable when I came to see him; he's got no luck with me!

That explains everything.

Although he didn't fish, he knew how deep the resentment in the air force veteran's heart was!

Xiao Lin: "??????"

At the same time, Xiao Lin noticed that after his grandson glanced at the fish basket next to him, he suddenly gave him an "I understand" look, which left Xiao Lin completely puzzled.

He then felt insulted!

No, do you really think he's in the Air Force?

He was just making an appearance here, waiting for Xiao Yan to arrive.

Do you really think he's in the Air Force?

No way?

No way!

I'm not fighting for a steamed bun, I'm fighting for my pride!

Xiao Lin couldn't take it anymore.

He was just pretending to fish, but now he's determined to actually catch one!

Then, Xiao Lin forgot everything else and devoted himself entirely to fishing.

Seeing his grandfather so "stubborn," Xiao Yan couldn't help but shake his head and smile speechlessly. He didn't say anything more and simply pulled his ancestor aside to wait.

As for Xiao Chen, he found the way Xiao Yan and his grandfather interacted somewhat amusing.

Why did he feel that Xiao Yan's grandfather had a touch of the mischievous old man's personality?

Back in the day, there were quite a few such eccentric Elders in his Xiao Clan!

To be honest, at this moment, Xiao Chen was also lost in memories of the past as he looked at Xiao Lin, so he didn't say anything more.

And so, one person waited, one person reminisced, and one person fished...

Time passed slowly.

Soon, half a day had passed.

It turns out that people without a talent for fishing really can't catch fish!

There were clearly many fish in the pond, but Xiao Lin sat there for half a day without any fish biting the hook.

In the end, Xiao Lin became quite exasperated.

He seems to have become a vacuum army!

"Pfft pfft~"

A fish swam to the edge of the pond and spat water at Xiao Lin.

At this point, Xiao Lin was completely ecstatic!

"Slap"

"Boom"

Finally, unable to resist any longer, Xiao Lin flung his fishing rod at the pond, blasting the entire pond apart...

"You bunch of stupid fish, go to hell! I'll build a new fishpond someday and have someone put some smarter fish in it, you stupid fish can all die!"

Air Force veteran Xiao Lin has been breached.

Xiao Yan, who was standing to the side, could tell that his grandfather was cursing him very harshly, almost cursing the ancestors of all the fish in the pond.

Xiao Lin's action of blowing up the fishpond naturally startled Xiao Chen, who had been lost in his memories.

"Hmm~, what's wrong?"

Xiao Chen was a little confused.

How did Xiao Yan's grandfather end up blowing up the fishpond while fishing?

"Hehe, ancestor, Grandpa's out of commission, so he's throwing a tantrum at the fishpond right now!"

At this moment, Xiao Yan secretly sidled up to his ancestor and chuckled to himself.

Although he had been waiting for quite some time, he wasn't bored at all!

After all, being able to see one's grandfather's air force break through defenses is a unique kind of enjoyment.

He'd tricked his own teacher several times, but he'd never had the chance to trick his own grandfather.

Now his own grandfather is digging his own grave, and he's thoroughly enjoying it.

In fact, my own grandfather only served half a day in the air force. If he served half a month or even half a year, it would be even more interesting!
