"How is it? Does it look good?"
Seeing this, Qin Yan curled her red lips, her tone full of provocation.
Cough cough~
Jiang Cheng coughed lightly and said righteously,
"Yan'er, what are you saying? I don't understand."
This girl's trying to trick him again? Not so easy!
Although he did see a little bit, it can't be entirely blamed on him.
Who told Ding Shengnan to stay here so late at night and strike that pose?
He's not blind; it's hard for him not to see!
"Tch, so stubborn."
Qin Yan gave Jiang Cheng a charmingly coquettish glance, but didn't say anything more.
We'll be family sooner or later anyway, we'll see each other eventually.
And by then, it might not be as simple as just looking at it (???).
Jiang Cheng's lips twitched; he figured Qin Yan's butt must be itchy again...
The next day, after breakfast.
Jiang Cheng then got into the car with Old Master Qin, and they remained silent the whole way.
During the journey, we passed through several checkpoints, with heavily armed soldiers along the way.
About an hour later, the car came to a steady stop in front of a rather ordinary-looking courtyard.
"Grandpa, what's this?"
Jiang Cheng got out of the car and looked around at his surroundings, feeling somewhat puzzled.
But a unlikely guess was vaguely forming in my mind.
"Let's go."
Old Master Qin smiled but did not answer.
Left with no other choice, Jiang Cheng could only follow them into the courtyard.
As soon as he entered, Jiang Cheng saw an elderly man dressed simply, with gray hair but a vigorous spirit.
His face was kind, yet his whole being exuded an aura of authority.
Hearing the noise, the old man slowly raised his head.
For a moment, Jiang Cheng was startled, but he quickly recovered.
His guess was right; the old man in front of him was the That One often appeared on the screen.
The Number One leader of the Dragon Country!
"Number One".
Old Master Qin stepped forward and spoke.
The old man nodded, then turned his gaze to Jiang Cheng and smiled.
"Truly, heroes emerge from among the young!"
"Old Qin, you've really found a good grandson-in-law."
Jiang Cheng was completely bewildered as he watched the two elderly people chatting happily.
Seemingly noticing Jiang Cheng's confusion, Number One slowly spoke, "You don't mind if this old man calls you Xiao Jiang, do you?"
Just kidding, I'm too happy to care!
Jiang Cheng shook his head. "I don't mind, Chief."
Upon hearing this, the old man continued, "Xiao Jiang, the reason I had Lao Qin bring you here this time is that someone wants to meet you in person."
Someone wants to see me?
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng became even more puzzled.
Just then, with a "click," the door was pushed open.
A middle-aged man with a resolute face and a slightly pale complexion walked out.
Grandmaster Gang Jin)!
Jiang Cheng was slightly surprised to sense the fluctuations in the middle-aged man's aura.
He had only ever felt this kind of pressure from Shen Xiyue.
After all, that girl sometimes likes to take the lead.
When he was an ordinary person, it was fine, but every time I had to beg him.
Of course, except for the first time when she forced herself on him.
However, since he became a Grandmaster, Shen Xiyue has become unrestrained.
Give him a go every now and then, forcing him to work out in shame, under the guise of training him!
The thought of this made Jiang Cheng grit his teeth in anger.
He was determined to get his revenge someday.
Moreover, once one reaches the Grandmaster level, one has already returned to simplicity and authenticity.
As long as you don't deliberately flaunt it, you're no different from an ordinary person.
But the person in front of me seemed to be breathing slightly erratically, as if he had just recovered from a serious illness.
"Who is this?" Jiang Cheng was still confused.
Grandmaster isn't like a cabbage growing on the roadside.
He simply couldn't understand what this person in front of him had to do with him.
The middle-aged man walked up to Jiang Cheng, revealing a weak and weary smile.
"Xiao Jiang, let me introduce myself. My name is Wen Qing."
Wen Qing? My surname is Wen!
There can't be such a coincidence, can there?
Jiang Cheng asked tentatively, his tone tinged with uncertainty.
"Are you Xingyue's father?"
The middle-aged man nodded, his eyes filled with longing when he heard Wen Xingyue's name.
Seeing this, Jiang Cheng had already guessed why Wen Qing wanted to see him.
After a moment of silence, he spoke, "If you want to thank me, there's no need. Xingyue is a very likable girl."
"Besides, even if I don't take action, someone else will."
Wen Qing was taken aback for a moment, then continued, "Anyway, thank you."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Cheng's expression turned serious. "If you really want to thank me, then go and see Xingyue."
"She and Grandma Wen miss you very much..."
Whew~
"I... will."
Wen Qing let out a long breath, her voice trembling slightly.
In the past, he only wanted Wen Xingyue to live an ordinary life, and to live a peaceful and healthy life.
After all, he was different from the other four Grandmaster.
As the head of an official Ancient Martial Artist organization, his identity was destined to be scrutinized.
Among them were those with ill intentions who were willing to take risks, and Grandma Wen and Wen Xingyue were his weaknesses.
Once exposed, the trouble will likely be endless.
Although he could bring the two of them to live with him, wouldn't that kind of life be a form of torture?
He just wanted the two of them to live a simple life.
Therefore, very few people know about this.
But now, he feels that he was overthinking things and being too cautious.
Having lost the youthful vigor, what does it matter if it's exposed?
If there really is someone who doesn't know their own limits, he's not someone to be trifled with!
Having figured this out, Wen Qing felt much more at ease.
He could clearly sense that, in an instant, the shackles of his realm, which he could not break no matter how hard he tried, were beginning to loosen.
It wasn't until evening that Old Master Qin and Jiang Cheng left the courtyard.
Watching Jiang Cheng's retreating figure, the old man smiled.
"It seems your plan is going to fail; Xiao Jiang doesn't seem very interested."
Wen Qing sighed helplessly.
Since his failed attempt to break through a year ago, his mental state has been unstable, and his strength has even shown signs of decline.
Therefore, he has been searching for outstanding young talents with excellent character and abilities to take over his position.
He had also paid attention to Yang Xu, but found that although he was exceptionally talented, his character was flawed.
Coupled with Yang Xu's recent scandal, he also gave up on the idea.
While the ostensible reason for inviting Jiang Cheng over was to express gratitude, the real intention was to test his thoughts.
Who would have thought that this kid wouldn't even be interested?!
He, on the other hand, received a lecture and learned a harsh lesson.
"But there have been gains, and I think I can continue doing this."
Shaking his head, Wen Qing's eyes deepened, and his aura became more composed and reserved.
Upon hearing this, the old man turned his head in surprise, then smiled.
Without saying a word, he turned and slowly left.
Meanwhile, in the car.
"Aren't you going to consider it? There are so many people eyeing that That One."
Old Master Qin spoke with a smile.
He didn't believe Jiang Cheng couldn't understand Wen Qing's implied meaning.
It's safe to say that as long as his grandson-in-law had given his nod, it would have been a done deal.
This force is considerable among the Ancient Martial Artist organizations in the entire Dragon Country!
