The two finally stopped outside a grand hall, the stone path beneath their feet gleaming warmly. The hall itself was made of celestial jade radiating a glowing light, tall and wide, with upturned eaves and corners, shaped like a dragon soaring into the sea, magnificent and vast.
Yan Qingwu walked straight into the main hall, completely forgetting that she was still holding Su Chen's hand.
Su Chen was intrigued, a smile playing on his lips. He didn't say anything to remind her, just watching Yan Qingwu pull him along.
In the center of the hall, there was a huge stone table, which was filled with all kinds of delicious food, including delicacies from land and sea, all of which looked and smelled wonderful. Every dish was mouthwatering.
Two people sat around the stone table: a woman and a middle-aged man.
The woman's lips were like cherries, naturally red without any makeup, and her slightly upturned corners carried a kind smile. Her skin was as white as snow, as delicate and smooth as mutton fat jade. Her slightly protruding belly did not detract from her beauty, but rather added a unique warmth and tenderness to her.
The middle-aged man was tall and upright, his broad shoulders and straight back barely concealed by a long, greyish-blue robe. His face was sharply defined, and his eyes beneath his brows were deep and piercing, like a still pool.
When she saw Su Chen and Yan Qingwu enter the main hall hand in hand, the Human Heart overjoyed. Her smile became even brighter and more beautiful, and she quickly said, " Chen'er, Qingwu, come quickly, let your mother take a good look at you."
Su Chen and Yan Qingwu approached Qin An, bowed, and simultaneously called out, "Mother."
He then looked at the middle-aged man, "Father."
Qin An's eyes were a little red, and she was overjoyed. As a mother, how could she not miss her child? She thought about him almost every day, but she knew that her child had grown up and she couldn't keep him by her side forever.
"Cough cough."
Su Yanche coughed twice, looking at Su Chen with a smile in his eyes, as if to say, "You're quite something, kid."
Su Chen smiled without saying a word.
Yan Qingwu was stunned, but she quickly reacted and hurriedly let go of Su Chen's hand. Her face was flushed, like the blazing sun, faintly burning.
Su Chen didn't think it was anything special, his expression was completely natural, and he thought it was a very normal thing, there was no need to be shy.
The four sat around the stone table. Qin An and Su Yanche asked questions, and Su Chen and Yan Qingwu answered. Half an hour passed in the blink of an eye.
Su Chen seemed to remember something and asked, "Mother, where is Grandpa? Didn't you say he had already left the Land of Ancestral Origin? But so much time has passed, why haven't I seen him?"
Yan Qingwu, standing to the side, also looked puzzled.
Qin An explained, "Your grandfather went to prepare gifts for you; he should be back soon."
As her words fell, footsteps sounded outside the hall, and the group looked over. An old man walked slowly with his hands behind his back. He was thin, but full of boundless power. His white hair was as white as snow and draped over his shoulders. His eyes were like deep Xingyun, with starlight shimmering in his dark blue pupils.
He is Su Chen's grandfather, Su Wangchuan. Some time ago, he came out of the Land of Ancestral Origin and immediately started clamoring to see his eldest grandson. Qin An had no choice but to contact Su Chen and ask him to come back.
While waiting for Su Chen to return, Su Wangchuan pondered what gift to give him. He felt guilty towards Su Chen, after all, as his grandfather, he had never seen his grandson, who had grown up so much.
Therefore, he wanted to find a nice gift to make up for the lack of love he felt for Su Chen. He was quite nervous, wondering if Su Chen would accept it.
The moment Su Wangchuan saw Su Chen, his eyes lit up, and he burst into laughter, "Excellent! I never expected my grandson to be so handsome! Very good!"
He said "good" three times in a row, which showed how happy he was.
Su Chen stood up, intending to bow to him, but Su Wangchuan stopped him, saying, "We're all family, there's no need for such formalities."
Su Chen was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and nodded, "Okay, Grandpa."
Su Wangchuan became more and more satisfied with Su Chen, but then he became puzzled, letting out a soft "hmm" and asking, "Little guy, why can't I see through you?"
Upon hearing this, Su Yanche was shocked. "Even you, Father, can't see through this kid?"
Qin An was also extremely surprised. They were all very clear about Su Wangchuan's strength; he was terrifyingly strong, and even those above the Immortal Emperor level would never be his match.
However, he just said that he couldn't see through Su Chen, which was very shocking. Could it be that Su Chen's strength was even greater than his grandfather's?
Impossible, right?
If that's really the case, then it's absolutely incredible.
Su Chen said, "I have a treasure that can conceal my aura, so it's normal that Grandpa can't see through it."
Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly understood. They thought to themselves, "No wonder someone like Su Wangchuan couldn't see through a young man."
Su Wangchuan stared intently at Su Chen. He wasn't so easily fooled; he knew Su Chen was lying to them. "This grandson of mine seems to have quite a secret."
He smiled slightly and didn't ask any further questions. After all, everyone has secrets, and since Su Chen was unwilling to talk about them, there was no need for him to press the matter.
Su Wangchuan then looked at Yan Qingwu beside him and said with a smile, "This must be Qingwu, right? I didn't expect her to have grown even more beautiful after all these decades. I almost didn't recognize her."
Yan Qingwu was a little embarrassed. "Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa."
"Grandfather?"
Su Wangchuan was startled.
Qin An explained, " Yanche and I have already adopted Qingwu as our daughter."
Su Wangchuan was stunned at first, then burst into laughter, "Good, good, good, I've had this idea for a while."
She looked at Yan Qingwu and smiled, "My dear granddaughter, if you're ever bullied in the future, come to Grandpa, and Grandpa will stand up for you."
Yan Qingwu was very touched and said, "Yes, thank you, Grandpa."
Su Wangchuan took out a longsword from his spatial ring. The blade gleamed coldly, as if it had condensed countless frosts and snows, its sharpness fully revealed. With each breath, it seemed capable of tearing through the void; this sword was clearly extraordinary.
Then, he took out a fan. At first glance, the fan was exquisite. The fan ribs were made of crystal formed from ten-thousand-year-old black ice. It was a deep blue color and exuded a chilling aura. Each fan rib was engraved with intricate immortal patterns. As the light shimmered, it seemed as if a mysterious power was flowing through it.
But that wasn't all. He then took out several more weapons, such as knives, guns, daggers, and so on. Basically, he took out any weapon he could find. The key point was that each and every one of them was extraordinary and powerful.
Not only weapons, but he also brought out many immortal techniques and arts, which left Yan Qingwu to the side, completely dumbfounded. She had never seen so many immortal techniques, arts, and weapons before.
I really did get a glimpse of her today.
Su Wangchuan said to Su Chen and Yan Qingwu, "Take a look and see if there's anything you like. If you like them all, then take them all."
This is outrageously extravagant!
