8: Chapter 8 Xie Wushang's Background

"Not bad, This Princess is quite satisfied. Once we return to the Family, I will definitely put in a good word for you." Yaoyao nodded, acting like a little adult, and said with her head held high.

"To be able to serve the Princess is this old man's blessing." External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue smiled all over his face.

Afterwards, he turned to look at Pang Feiyu, who was being suppressed in the air, "Special Envoy Pang, do you have any objections to this arrangement by the old man?"

"Elder Ji rectifying the chaos and clearing the name of a meritorious official is an act of justice. It should be emulated by everyone in the world, and Pang is deeply admiring," Pang Feiyu said. "In the future, I will definitely take this as an example!"

"Very good!" Elder Ji nodded slightly.

With a flick of his palm, the ten-zhang-tall Dharmakaya in the high sky turned into energy and dissipated.

Pang Feiyu's pressure sharply decreased, and he let out a sigh of relief as he stood up. He put the floating imperial decree into his Storage Pouch.

"One is from a Celestial Emperor Family... The other is the son of a legendary figure... Can I say I have objections?" Pang Feiyu glanced at Xie Wushang and Yaoyao in the ruins below, muttering inwardly. When looking at Yaoyao, he let out a long sigh.

"Alas, humans! Sometimes, everything is truly destined right at birth!"

His face was full of envy.

Right now, this little girl's background, placed in the entire Cangyuan Realm, was also among the absolute top tier.

Seeing that Pang Feiyu had no objections, External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue wore a look of satisfaction.

He looked at Yaoyao, his eyes narrowing slightly with a smile at the corners of his mouth.

"The little Princess going out alone is clearly sneaking out. If I inform the Family about this, it will definitely be a great contribution."

External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue calculated inwardly.

The Imperial Clan valued the Goddess exceptionally and would absolutely not allow her to go out alone.

After all, in case the Goddess was assassinated by hostile forces, that would be an unbearable pain.

If External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue reported this news to the Family, heavy rewards would definitely be given.

His heart was already blooming with joy.

Yaoyao wore a satisfied expression as she raised her head to look at Xie Jingde. "Great-grandfather, look, Yaoyao said before that she would protect you in the future. Yaoyao didn't lie to you and Daddy, did she?" The little girl widened her eyes with a serious look, seemingly waiting for praise.

"Haha, our Yaoyao is the most obedient. Naturally, she wouldn't lie to Great-grandfather. It was Great-grandfather who underestimated Yaoyao." Xie Jingde stroked his beard, then extended his withered hand to directly pick up Yaoyao in his arms. Saying this with a face full of kindness, he was also quite joyful.

"Hehe, that's right. Yaoyao is a super invincible lightning-bolt good baby, oh." Yaoyao squinted her eyes and smiled brilliantly.

"Daddy, Daddy, Yaoyao is amazing, right!" After speaking, Yaoyao turned her head to look at Xie Wushang beside her.

"That is naturally the case. My daughter is the greatest treasure in the entire world. Daddy is proud of you." Xie Wushang reached out to take his daughter from the old man's side, picked her up, and then carried her on his shoulder. After flicking the little girl's nose, he smiled pamperingly.

"Tee-hee, I just knew Daddy would like Yaoyao." Yaoyao said with a sweet smile.

Xie Wushang said, "Yaoyao, why didn't your mother come with you?"

Yaoyao was like a little kitten whose tail had been stepped on, a trace of panic flashing in her eyes. "Ya, you're talking about Mother..."

Yaoyao's appearance of showing panic in her eyes yet immediately revealing a smile was quite adorable.

Xie Wushang's heart felt as though it was about to melt, and he smiled with narrowed eyes.

He pondered inwardly with a face full of paternal love, "It seems this little girl ran out secretly."

"Yaoyao, Yaoyao ran out secretly!" After pursing her lips, Yaoyao hesitated slightly before speaking out.

Because Mother had said that adults do not like babies who lie.

She definitely did not want to leave a bad impression on Daddy.

"Daddy, will you think that Yao'er is disobedient!" Yaoyao blinked her eyes and asked Daddy quite concernedly.

"For Yaoyao to come find Daddy, Daddy is too happy to even have time, how could he think you are disobedient?" Xie Wushang lightly tapped Yaoyao's forehead and smiled pamperingly.

"That's right, our Yaoyao just helped Daddy beat up the bad guys; she is the most sensible!" Xie Jingde laughed and said.

"Hehe... I also think I am very obedient!" Yaoyao smiled, took out a lollipop from her bosom, and began to eat it.

Xie Wushang smiled and said, "Yaoyao, let's return to Grandfather's courtyard and talk about things between you and your mother."

He also very much wanted to know how his daughter had been living in recent years.

Xie Jingde smiled and said, "Grandfather's braised pork is extremely delicious. Wait for Grandfather to go make a pot for you."

He also very much wanted to know about Yaoyao's affairs.

And even how his own grandson had hooked up with the pampered daughter of a Celestial Emperor Family to give birth to this daughter.

Right now in the ruins, there was still a group of wailing Disciples, which truly ruined the scenery and was unsuitable for a grandfather and grandchildren reunion.

"Okay." Yaoyao nodded obediently, "Yaoyao also very much wants to know about Daddy and Mother's affairs!"

The little fellow wore a look of excitement.

Beside them, Pang Feiyu looked towards External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue.

"Hehe, Elder Xie, might this humble one go to your estate to beg for a cup of tea to drink?" External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue smiled and bowed in salute to Xie Jingde.

"Special Envoy being able to grace this humble residence with your presence is this old man's honor, please!" Xie Jingde cupped his hands and smiled, then reached out to welcome them.

"In that case, we are intruding!" External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue and Pang Feiyu cupped their hands in salute.

Afterwards, Xie Jingde rode the wind and flew, leading the way in front.

Yaoyao wore a joyous and leaping expression, "Daddy, I will take you flying!"

The little girl guided with her jade hand, and a long river of Taiyin appeared beneath their feet, supporting her and Xie Wushang as they flew and followed along.

Xie Wushang held his daughter's hand, stepped upon the long river of Taiyin, and flew toward the mountain peak where he lived.

On the ruins of the Yuntian Sword Sect's grand hall, Sect Master Su Manyun struggled to crawl up, raising her head to look at Xie Wushang as he gradually faded into the distance.

"Xie Wushang, on what grounds! On what grounds do you have such good fortune, first having resources left by your father to advance by leaps and bounds, and now having a daughter born from a Celestial Emperor Family, whereas I must rely on myself for everything, and even have to sacrifice myself to exchange for resources just to break through Realms?"

"Heavens, how unfair are you? How completely unfair!"

Raising her head, she cried out hoarsely.

"Our Yuntian Sword Sect is finished!" Beside them, all the Disciples of the Yuntian Sword Sect wore sorrowful expressions.

There were also a few people secretly rejoicing that they had not participated in bullying Xie Wushang.

Otherwise, today would not have been as simple as just stripping away two Realms of cultivation.

...

Yuntian Sword Sect.

Yunyue Peak.

Xie Wushang's residence was right here.

In the past, as the contemporary number one Prodigy of the Yuntian Sword Sect, his status and reverence were even above that of the Elders.

Therefore, he possessed his own mountain peak.

Halfway up the mountain, there was an exquisite courtyard.

Amidst small bridges, flowing water, and small pavilions and waterside kiosks, Spirit Beasts haunted the area.

Xie Jingde brewed tea and drank facing External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue and Pang Feiyu among the cliffside.

As for Xie Wushang, he was taking a leisurely stroll with Yaoyao in the courtyard.

In their conversation and laughter, Xie Jingde and External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue appeared neither humble nor arrogant, completely like people who had seen great worldly scenes.

This made Pang Feiyu even more certain of the identity of the old man before him.

"Old sir, may I ask for your son's revered name?" External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue was also inquiring about the identity of Xie Wushang's father.

This young man, being the father of their own Princess, if he did not have some background, would likely have numerous troublesome matters in the future.

For the Ji Clan, this was also quite a tricky matter.

Xie Jingde took a sip of the tea in his hand and slowly put it down.

He squinted his eyes, looking at External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue with a hint of a smile.

Xie Jingde said, "Special Envoy wants to ask about Wushang's father, right?"

"Indeed!" External Affairs Elder Ji Fangyue said meaningfully, "Yaoyao's status within our Family is not simple at all! If Young Master Xie does not have some background, I'm afraid there will be quite a bit of trouble."

"Wushang's father is named Jiang Tianxing!" Xie Jingde squinted his eyes and looked toward the distant sunset.

Within his eyes, there was a trace of sorrow.

A trace of reminiscence.

And a trace of pride.

"Jiang Tianxing... It really is him!" Pang Feiyu, who was sipping tea, couldn't help but put down his cup upon hearing these words. He widened his eyes to look at Xie Jingde, his eyes flashing with sharp brilliance, seeming full of interest in this matter and wanting to listen attentively.

After all, Jiang Tianxing...

That was one of the most outstanding Prodigies in the Cangyuan Realm over the past hundred years!
