The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor Chapter 2032 - 2029: I Am a Failure
Previously on The Legendary Son-in-law of the Emperor...
"A woman of the household."
The old man curled his lips at the young woman’s comment but didn’t say much.
"Ye Xuan brother, I’m leaving now!"
The little girl waved goodbye to Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly.
In the blink of an eye, only Ye Xuan, Ye Sixing, and Jiang Xuantong were left.
"Good grandson, what made you think to visit grandpa?"
The old man winked at Ye Xuan.
Ye Xuan always felt his grandpa was a bit incorrigible. He touched his nose and said, "Just came by since I had nothing else to do."
The old man immediately widened his eyes: "Only thought to visit when you have nothing to do?"
Ye Xuan: "Otherwise?"
The old man raised his thumb and grinned: "That’s good, definitely don’t think of visiting grandpa when you have something to do. Your grandpa is just useless!"
Ye Xuan: "...?"
The old man sidled up to Ye Xuan, put an arm around him, and chuckled: "Good grandson, I’ll be honest, even if your daughter is here, your grandpa is really a waste."
"I’m useless!"
Then.
The old man suddenly shouted.
The sound seemed to resonate throughout the entire Jiang Family.
The young woman who hadn’t gone completely far yet heard the sound, and her expression stilled. She then shook her head helplessly and said, "Grandpa’s condition is getting worse."
Little Rain Ze was puzzled and asked, "What illness does grandpa have?"
The young woman gave Rain Ze a glare: "Grandpa isn’t sick!"
Little Rain Ze was even more confused: "Didn’t mom just say grandpa’s illness is getting worse?"
Young woman: "... I’ll explain slowly when we get home."
Little Rain Ze pouted: "Mom always says that, then pretends nothing happened once we’re home."
The young woman couldn’t help but hold her forehead.
At this moment.
The one who felt most speechless was Ye Xuan.
Throughout the ages, he had seen quite a few oddballs.
People like Jiang Xuantong, naturally, he had come across them too.
It’s just...
Ye Xuan never imagined his own grandpa would turn out to be such an oddball.
"Hahahaha——"
After shouting, the old man laughed heartily, patting Ye Xuan’s shoulder he said, "Good grandson, how about it? Do you want to shout too? It’s quite satisfying!"
Ye Xuan shook his head, refusing: "I’m not useless."
The old man brightened his eyes: "That slogan works too, come, shout it out loud."
Ye Xuan: "..."
The old man: "Come on, don’t be shy, express boldly, let me help you start."
Saying this, the old man put his hands around his mouth and shouted loudly, "My grandson isn’t useless!"
Ye Xuan: "Grandpa, do you have some serious illness?"
The old man turned his head to look at Ye Xuan, glaring: "Impressive, good grandson, you noticed grandpa’s serious illness on your first meeting!"
"To be honest, I’m quite sick, probably close to kicking the bucket."
Ye Xuan squinted his eyes and carefully examined the old man again.
There wasn’t any actual sign of sickness.
The only notable aspect was grandpa’s cultivation.
Not very high, only at the Heavenly God Realm.
Just a realm higher than Little Rain Ze.
Was this why the old man shouted he was useless?
But according to mom, though grandpa’s status in the Jiang Family wasn’t high, it was definitely not low either.
Otherwise, even Feather Commander of the Qilin Blood Guard wouldn’t call him Third Grandpa.
"Huh..."
Ye Xuan suddenly paused, looking at the old man, he asked: "Grandpa has quite a diverse range of skills?"
The old man was sighing heavily, like someone truly nearing the end of life. Upon hearing this, he paused and laughed, saying: "Good grandson is indeed insightful, impressive!"
"Not afraid to tell you, your grandpa is highly skilled in Dan Artifact Array talisman, even those undying elders of Jiang Family must praise me, but I feel I’m not good enough, I’m useless. Although I’m skilled, I’m far from reaching the peak, because I’m useless, I’m useless..."
The old man sighed repeatedly.
Ye Xuan smiled slightly and said: "Regardless of Dan Artifact Array talisman or anything else, it all requires support from one’s own strength. If nothing goes wrong, grandpa neglected self-cultivation while pursuing these areas, leading to the current situation."
The old man looked surprised at Ye Xuan: "Impressive good grandson."
Then the old man placed his hands behind, gazing into the distance and sighed: "Unfortunately, I found out too late. When I wanted to regain and refine my realm, I discovered I was already too old, and couldn’t cultivate anymore."
"I’m useless!"
The old man shouted once more.
Ye Xuan looked at the old man, contemplating: "Grandpa, have you ever tried to use the myriad Daos to elevate cultivation?"
The old man was somewhat bewildered: "How is that done?"
Ye Xuan softly asked: "Do you know the Medicine Heavenly Emperor?"
The old man rolled his eyes and replied grumpily: "That’s your ancestor, do you think I’d know?"
Ye Xuan: "..."
Alright.
Ye Xuan lightly coughed and then said: "In the past, the Medicine Heavenly Emperor’s talent wasn’t spectacular, but in the way of alchemy, he was unmatched and unsurpassed, and precisely due to his expertise in alchemy, he achieved the position of a Medicine Heavenly Emperor."
The old man looked peculiarly at Ye Xuan: "Where did you hear this rubbish, it’s utter nonsense."
"Are you really deceiving grandpa thinking he hasn’t read the family’s ancient texts?"
Upon hearing this, Ye Xuan smiled: "Things in the ancient texts are written by people, especially when the younger generation writes about their predecessors, many praises are often added, those are fine to look at, but if taken seriously, then one is a fool."
The old man pointed at himself, solemnly said: "You’re calling your grandpa a fool."
Ye Xuan shook his head and said: "I never said that."
The old man laughed heartily: "I’m a fool!"
"Of course, most of the Jiang Family are fools."
The old man added with a smile: "Good grandson, grandpa still trusts you more, tell me specifically how to do this?"
Ye Xuan didn’t respond, but rather looked towards Ye Sixing beside him.
"What’s wrong, Dad?"
Ye Sixing asked puzzledly.
Ye Xuan softly replied: "Take your grandpa to practice alchemy, talisman painting, array drawing, artifact refining and observe beside him, give him some pointers."
Ye Sixing was somewhat anxious: "Dad, can I do it?"
Ye Xuan nodded: "You can certainly do it, you’re Ye Xuan’s daughter."
Ye Sixing heard this and beamed with a bright smile, nodded firmly: "Mm!"
Jiang Xuantong beside them listened with bafflement: "Wait a minute, you’re letting your daughter instruct me? Doesn’t she lack cultivation?"
Ye Xuan lightly tapped Ye Sixing’s shoulder, pointing to the distant Sky Dome above, "Do you see that giant mountain?"
Ye Sixing, despite having her eyes closed, could still see it. She nodded: "I see it."
That giant mountain, above the Sky Dome, like a Divine Mountain Suppressing Heaven, its presence was unparalleled.
"Bring it over."
Ye Xuan said.
Ye Sixing’s pretty face was full of seriousness.
Boom!
In the next moment, that giant mountain pressed down from above.
Covering the sky and sun.
"It seems... quite simple." Ye Sixing said.
The old man was dumbfounded: "This is manifestion of Jiang Family’s Divine Mountain, even Great Saints can’t move it!"
