At midday, the blazing sun, like a fireball, poured endless light and heat onto the earth.
Su Yanche and Qin An stood side by side Mystic Hall, their gazes fixed on the distance, a hint of tension barely perceptible on their faces.
The azure sky is dotted with snow-white clouds that drift Youyou in various shapes. Occasionally, auspicious beasts fly by, their silhouettes against the deep blue sky creating a picturesque scene that captivates the viewer and makes them reluctant to leave.
Ripples spread through the air as a beautiful figure appeared. Her skin was like porcelain, her white dress swayed in the wind, her eyebrows were like distant mountains, and her eyes were clear as water. She was graceful and poised, exuding composure and elegance.
Qin An looked over, a smile appearing on his face, and said softly, " Qingwu, where's your grandfather?"
"He said he'd be here soon," Yan Qingwu replied. She was truly beautiful, a rare sight in this world. If other beauties stood before her, they would pale in comparison.
Su Yanche rubbed his forehead, saying helplessly, "Father is really something. At such a crucial moment, instead of coming quickly, he keeps dawdling. No wonder Mother is always angry because of him."
"You brat, you dare to talk bad about me while I'm not around, huh?" Suddenly, a gloomy voice rang out, a little cold, and Su Yanche couldn't help but tremble.
Upon hearing that familiar voice, Su Yanche was startled and realized something was wrong.
A gentle breeze, soft and delicate, drifted through the air, bringing a sense of coolness and tranquility. An old man approached, his hands clasped behind his back, his expression radiating authority and his aura powerful; the surrounding space and time trembled at his arrival.
"Father, weren't you supposed to be here later? Why are you here so soon?" Su Yanche forced a smile, which looked worse than crying.
Su Wangchuan glared at him fiercely, "If I had been any slower, I don't know how many more bad things you would have said about me."
Su Yanche's expression froze, as if he were standing still. Finally, he forced himself to say, "After all, Mother will be back soon. I was in a hurry, so I misspoke."
"A slip of the tongue?"
Su Wangchuan sneered, "Why do I feel like this wasn't a slip of the tongue? Daring to speak ill of your old man, you really need to be taught a lesson."
Su Yanche's expression immediately tensed up. He had been beaten a lot when he was a child, and not badly at that, to the point that he couldn't get out of bed. Whenever he thought about it, he felt like he wasn't even his biological son.
"They're back!" Yan Qingwu suddenly exclaimed.
Upon hearing this, the group turned to look, and at the far end of their line of sight, the outlines of two figures began to emerge from the haze.
Beneath their feet, a golden avenue stretched out like a shimmering river, gleaming and endlessly extending. Sunlight poured down, making every inch of the road surface seem like burning gold leaf, leaping with a fiery and dazzling light.
The two figures became clearer, one a man and the other an old man. The man had silver hair, which, when gently brushed, resembled a flowing silver river, radiating a cold yet captivating luster.
The old woman beside me stood upright, her back unbent by the years. Her eyes were deep and bright, not at all cloudy.
The old woman quickened her pace, appearing before Qin An in an instant. Gazing at his belly, her eyes were filled with tenderness and excitement. "My dear grandson."
Qin An's lips curved into a slight smile, "Mother, you're finally back."
Shen Yanlan looked up and asked impatiently, " Xiao An, how far along are you in your pregnancy?"
Qin An pondered for a moment, then finally replied, "It seems like it's been seven or eight months."
Shen Yanlan smiled and said, "Then you'll be giving birth soon."
As if realizing something, her expression changed. She quickly supported Qin An, turned around and glared angrily at Su Yanche and Su Wangchuan, "What's wrong with you two? Don't you know Xiao An needs to rest during her pregnancy? What are you making her stand here for?"
Su Yanche and Su Wangchuan were of noble status and powerful, far surpassing the Immortal Emperor. They were beings who could make the Immortal Realm tremble with a stomp of their feet. However, when faced with the old woman's rebuke, the two dared not utter a single rebuttal. If others had seen this, they would have been astonished.
Shen Yanlan glanced at them coldly, then looked away and turned to Yan Qingwu beside her, saying softly, " Qingwu, come and help your mother."
Previously at the Shen Lineage, Su Chen talked a lot with Shen Yanlan, including about Su Yanche and Qin An recognizing Yan Qingwu as their adopted daughter.
Yan Qingwu taken aback at first, then nodded, supporting Qin An with careful movements, afraid of hurting her.
Qin An hesitated and said, "Mother, I'm actually fine. There's no need to be so careful."
Shen Yanlan immediately said, "You're pregnant now, so you naturally need to be careful. Come on, let's go back and sit down to talk."
She and Yan Qingwu helped Qin An, and they slowly left the place.
Su Yanche and Su Wangchuan exchanged a glance, then prepared to follow.
"Grandpa, wait a moment." Su Chen called out to Su Wangchuan and came to his side.
Su Wangchuan paused, looked at Su Chen, and asked, " Xiao Chen, what's wrong?"
Su Yanche cast a curious glance at him.
Su Chen didn't rush to speak, but instead glanced at Su Yanche.
Su Yanche's face darkened. How could he not understand what Su Chen meant? He was telling Su Chen to leave quickly because he had something to say to Su Wangchuan.
Su Yanche said speechlessly, "Is there anything I can't hear?"
Su Chen smiled faintly, "I didn't say you couldn't listen."
Su Yanche frowned and asked, "Then what did that look in your eyes mean?"
"Why do you ask so many questions every day? Get lost!" Su Wangchuan suddenly said.
Su Yanche's face darkened, but he didn't dare to retort. At the same time, he wondered what his son wanted to say to his father.
After Su Yanche had completely left, Su Wangchuan raised his hand and waved it, sealing the place with a powerful force. After doing all this, he couldn't wait to look at Su Chen.
Su Chen smiled slightly, opened his right hand, and two jade bottles appeared in his palm. One of the jade bottles was red, and the other was white. These were bottles specially made for storing pills. As long as the pills were placed inside, they would not lose their medicinal effects.
Su Wangchuan stared intently at the two jade bottles, "This is..."
Su Chen explained, "The pills in the white jade bottle can treat your kidney deficiency."
Upon hearing this, Su Wangchuan's lips twitched. Why did that sound so strange?
Su Chen added, "The red bottle contains pills that will make you last longer, be more vigorous, and faster. But remember, you can only take one a day, or your body won't be able to handle it."
With lightning speed, Su Wangchuan snatched the two jade bottles from Su Chen's hands, coughed twice, and said solemnly, " Xiao Chen, this matter must not be spread, otherwise my reputation will be ruined."
Su Chen smiled and said, "Don't worry, I won't tell anyone."
Su Wangchuan gave a thumbs up, "Good grandson!"
Su Chen shook his head and smiled, then asked curiously, "Grandpa, I'm actually quite curious, how can someone as strong as you have kidney deficiency? Logically speaking, it doesn't make any sense."
