"Is that so? If you came to visit me, how come you didn't bring your grandpa a gift or two when you returned, Xiao Yan?"
Xiao Lin wanted to tease this grandson of his, who was finally beginning to show some warmth.
"Huh? Well, I wasn't sure what you liked, Grandpa, and I thought you were still off somewhere enjoying the mountains and rivers, so... But Grandpa, tell me what you want, and I'll go buy it for you right away!"
Xiao Yan's explanation did make some sense.
Since Xiao Lin now frequently traveled between the Xiao Household and the Myriad Formation Spirit Palace, he had eventually stopped bothering with the excuse of secluded cultivation and chosen another one instead.
That excuse was sightseeing, which he grandly described as cultivating his sensibilities and gaining insights from nature.
Because Xiao Lin had previously suffered from the "aftereffects" of recovering from serious injuries, everyone in the Xiao Household could understand and accept this.
Thus, in Xiao Yan's eyes, his grandfather was simply an old man who enjoyed traveling around.
In fact, Xiao Yan had even prepared himself for the possibility that he would not see his grandfather on this visit to the Xiao Household Ancestral Residence in the Imperial Capital!
Of course, being able to see him was best.
Still, Xiao Yan had not expected his grandfather to suddenly ask him for a gift.
That was why he had offered such an explanation.
"You little rascal, you're getting more silver-tongued by the day. Who knows how many young ladies you'll sweet-talk into your arms in the future?"
Shaking his head, Xiao Lin could not help teasing Xiao Yan.
Well, Xiao Yan already had at least three or four prospective sweethearts lined up.
And his grandfather, Xiao Lin, deserved most of the credit
