Chapter 157 Meeting with Relatives

"Come, Tian'er, meet your family first." The old man said with a smile: "This is Lao Liao. He was also the one who saved you last time."

"Hello, Grandpa Liao. Thank you for saving my life." Upon hearing this, Yang Tian hurriedly thanked him.

"Hey, young master, please don't say that. It's really embarrassing for me." Old Liao said humbly.

"Old Liao, you should accept the gift from this child. What is there to hide?" The old man immediately became unhappy.

Upon hearing this, Mr. Liao didn't know what to say and just accepted the greeting.

"This is Lao Diao. He was the one who caught the ice silkworm for you." The old man continued.

Upon hearing this, Yang Tian hurriedly bowed again: "Thank you, Grandpa Diao, for running around for me."

Lao Diao originally wanted to be humble, but after seeing the old man's expression, he gave in.

"This is your second uncle Yang Zhou, who is in charge of the talisman-making room; your second aunt Zhang Ying, who is in charge of purchasing. If you need talismans or cultivation resources in the future, you can always go to them."

"This is your third uncle Yang Yong, who is currently in charge of the intelligence department and helps people with feng shui inspections. Your third aunt Wang Ruoyu is in charge of the alchemy hall. You will definitely be able to use them in the future."

"Your eldest brother Yang Yu is currently working in a special department and is away from home all year round. The only person of your generation in the family is this girl named Yang Xue, who is mischievous and unruly all the time. If you want to eat, drink and have fun, you can definitely go with her. The others are unreliable!"

"And these elders from the collateral clan..."

The old man introduced Yang Tian one by one, and Yang Tian quickly greeted them one by one.

But when Yang Xue's cousin heard the old man's introduction, she immediately refused to accept it: "Grandpa! How can you be so mean to your own granddaughter? I am a cultivation genius after all. I am only 18 years old and I have already practiced the three elements of water, fire and earth. How can you call this unreliable? Grandpa, you are too biased." As she spoke, she glanced at Yang Tian angrily.

Yang Tian was completely confused! She had only carved three systems at the age of 18, and that was it? She was also a genius in cultivation? For a moment, he could only look at this cousin stupidly with a surprised expression on his face.

How could Yang Xue know the rich inner drama of her cousin? She thought that her cousin had been impressed by her extraordinary talent, and she was immediately delighted. She patted Yang Tian on the shoulder and said, "Learn from me well. If you can catch up with half of me in the future, you will benefit a lot."

"Go away, don't embarrass yourself in front of your brother. You might be embarrassed later." The old man was completely speechless.

Old Liao was always worried about Yang Tian's injury, so he didn't care about the quarrel between the grandfather and grandson. He couldn't wait to ask, "How is it, has Xiaotian's internal problems been solved? Has the dark element been carved out?"

"Dark...dark element?" Yang Zhou, the second uncle next to him, was so shocked that he shouted out immediately.

Yang Yong also said weakly: "Then... then wouldn't it be the qualification to master all six paths?"

The old man curled his lips smugly upon hearing this and said, "Don't worry, Lao Liao, Tian'er has completed the carving of the dark element, and all the injuries on his body have been healed! Besides, who said that he has mastered all six paths? My grandson has already mastered all seven orifices, and after a week, he will master all nine stars! In at most another year, my grandson will surely have the qualifications to master all ten methods."

"Grandpa, how much fake wine did you drink to say such nonsense? And he has all ten methods? Have you ever seen a seed with all ten methods within a thousand years, let alone five hundred years?" Yang Xue screamed.

"Humph, you are the one who drank the fake wine. My wine has always been given by your parents as a gift! If you say it is fake wine, I will beat them with a stick." The old man immediately said dissatisfiedly: "Besides, just because there was no wine in the past thousand years, it doesn't mean that there can't be any now. What's wrong with my grandson having all ten methods? Do you dislike it?"

Usually when the grandfather and grandson were joking around, there would always be people cheering them on. But today, the scene was strangely quiet. Everyone looked at Yang Tian as if he were a monster. Old Liao asked in disbelief, "Xiaotian, is what your grandfather said true?"

Yang Tian was also helpless, but still nodded and said, "That's true."

"How can this be?"

"Oh my god, am I dreaming now?"

......

The noise around them could no longer be suppressed, and even Yang Xue gave up her talk and stood there in a daze...

Facing such a scene, Yang Tian was not happy, but he could understand the shock of the crowd. So, he could only look at the old man for help.

The old man immediately understood and said, "Tian'er, you have to confirm the matter of the thunder beast with your grandpa and grandma as soon as possible." Then he turned around and ordered, "Aqiu, take Tian'er to the Purple Bamboo Forest first."

Butler Qiu Bo hurried forward and respectfully accepted the order, and left with Yang Tian...

Seeing Yang Tian walking away, the old man said very solemnly: "What I just said is the top secret of my Yang family. Anyone who hears about this today must swear by their inner demon that they will not reveal a single word!"

Everyone nodded in agreement when they heard this, and immediately began to swear an oath. Everyone knew how much turmoil this news would cause in the current Chinese cultivation world.

Seeing that everyone knew the importance of the matter, the old man continued with satisfaction: "I tell you all this to let everyone know how important Tian'er is to our Yang family. Those who know Tian'er's past should know that although this child is deep-minded, he values ​​friendship and loyalty, which is quite similar to my past style. I hope that everyone will treat him with sincerity and not bring the outside world's ways of the world back home."

Everyone hurriedly agreed.

The old man looked at his granddaughter and said, "And you, little troublemaker. Although Tian'er is mature, he is still a child at heart. You should take your brother to play around in our Yang family more often, so that he can get to know our Yang family better, right?"

Yang Xue laughed and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa. Didn't you say that I'm not reliable for cultivation? If you want to eat, drink and have fun, you can always find me!"

When everyone heard this, they all burst into laughter.

The old man also laughed happily, and then said solemnly: "From today on, Tian'er's guard level will be upgraded by one level. I don't want him to encounter any accidents before he completes his training. Also, send visiting cards to all sects and families. Five days later, my Yang family will hold a ceremony to worship the ancestors, so that Tian'er can recognize his ancestors and return to his roots. We look forward to everyone coming to watch the ceremony!"

"Yes!" Everyone responded loudly...

But Yang Tian, ​​under the guidance of housekeeper Qiu Bo, passed through many corridors and finally came to a purple bamboo forest. Purple bamboos were scattered all over the mountain, and even the rocks next to them were purple-red. The bamboo and rocks complemented each other.

There is only one winding path leading to the secluded place. Beside the path stands a stone tablet with three characters inscribed on it: Purple Bamboo Forest.

The two climbed the stairs, surrounded by the sound of birdsong and clear streams; after passing a low bamboo forest, the front suddenly opened up. The simple courtyard wall built of purple bamboo and the several exquisitely carved bamboo buildings inside the courtyard wall blended into the surrounding environment, like a fairyland...

"Young master, this is the Purple Bamboo Forest. There are female relatives in the courtyard, and I am not in a position to disturb them. I will just send you here." Uncle Qiu said respectfully.

"Grandpa Qiu, please don't be polite. You are the housekeeper of our Yang Mansion and the person grandpa trusts the most. From now on, you can just call me Xiaotian. Please don't be so distant." Yang Tian said hurriedly.

"Oh, look at what you said. I dare not agree to this no matter what. If I agree, I will be overstepping my authority. From now on, you can just call me Uncle Qiu like everyone else. I still want to stay with you for two more years." Uncle Qiu said in fear and trepidation.

Yang Tian was stunned at first, then laughed and said, "Okay, I understand, Uncle Qiu."

Qiu Bo then turned his worry into joy and said goodbye and left...
