Chen Wei's certainty made Yang Tianyou regard him with newfound respect.
Truth be told.
Before this, he had never thought much of his son-in-law.
In a father's eyes, his daughter Yang Chan was the most innocent, kindhearted, and gentle girl in all the Three Realms. To have such a fairy, so ignorant of the ways of the world, sweet-talked away by Chen Wei, that glib-tongued fellow whose mouth ran like a galloping horse, was infuriating.
But on second thought, Yang Tianyou realized something was wrong with that reasoning.
Yang Chan was easy to fool.
Yang Jian, however, was not. If Chen Wei had nothing to offer beyond that slick tongue of his, how could he possibly have made it past Erlang?
Howling Celestial Dog would probably have gnawed him down to nothing, not even leaving a scrap of bone, on the very day he came to propose.
For Yang Jian to hold his nose and accept him as a brother-in-law, and even entrust his sister to him, meant that deep down, Chen Wei was absolutely a formidable man who could shoulder responsibility and had the means to get things done.
An irresistible force had settled Yang Tianyou and his wife in a special domain outside the Three Realms. They could not leave, nor were they permitted to.
But they were not truly deaf and blind.
They still had secret channels through which they could learn of major events in the Three Realms-or, more specifically, news concerning Yang Jian and Yang Chan.
Over the years, Yang Jian had firmly held the position of Justice Heavenly Deity, while Yang Chan received incense offerings on Mount Hua. Now, with two grandsons added to the family, their lives were peaceful and stable.
The couple had watched it all, and in truth, they were pleased.
