C1226 Despair and Opportunity
The old man in red robe stood up and looked at Shu Moli. His eyes showed excitement and said, "When did you come back? Why didn't you say anything?"2
"I just came back." Shu Moli smiled at the old man and pulled Yang Xuan over. She said to the old man, "This is your grandson. His name is Yang Xuan. He is nineteen years old this year." After that, she turned around and said to Yang Xuan, "Yang Xuan, quickly call grandfather."
"Grandpa!" Yang Xuan knew that he should be polite and respectful at a time like this, so he hurriedly said to the old man respectfully. However, the old man did not seem to appreciate it. The warm smile on his face suddenly collapsed. He only faintly nodded to Yang Xuan and said, "You are that stinky brat that I returned the Longevity Sword with the Wutong Sword in West Continent a year ago, right? Why have you come here? "
"Grandfather, I came here because I have a request." Yang Xuan quickly said to the old man.
"What does it have to do with me if you have a favor to ask of me?" Before Yang Xuan could say what it was, the old man said coldly. Yang Xuan's words were stuck in his mouth. Yang Xuan smiled bitterly and looked at Shu Moli who was beside him. However, Shu Moli only shrugged her shoulders and looked helpless.
However, Yang Xuan could see something else from Shu Moli's eyes. Looking at the old man again, Yang Xuan quickly observed his expression and said, "You are my grandfather, my mother's father. My grandson has something to ask of me. Why would my grandfather ignore it?"
"Hmph, at least you know how to talk. But it's not that simple to ask me to help you. That bastard father of yours kidnapped my good daughter. I haven't even settled the score with him after all these years without saying a word. This matter definitely can't end just like that. " The old man snorted coldly and looked as if he was blowing his beard and glaring at him. However, the smile in his eyes had already betrayed him.
Yang Xuan saw that there was a turning point and quickly said, "My father can't do anything about it. If there is a chance... He will definitely come and pay a visit. Even before I came here, he asked me to greet you on his behalf. "
" Hahahahaha, kid, don't try to fool me. When your father left the Phoenix Clan, I kicked him three times. He must have remembered this grudge in his heart for the rest of his life. How could he forgive me so easily? But I know what you mean. Tell me. What do you want me to help you with?" The old man laughed and said to Yang Xuan.
Yang Xuan followed the old man and said with a smile, "It's like this. My grandson went to Fire Dragon Valley not long ago because of some matters. He met a sect called Beast Spirit Sect there."
After that, Yang Xuan told the old man about the Beast Spirit Sect in detail. The expression on the old man's face kept changing. It was very interesting.
After Yang Xuan finished talking, the old man nodded and asked, "Where is the Divine Beast Baize Lion you mentioned just now?"
Yang Xuan summoned Little White again. Although Yang Xuan hoped that Little White would stay with him outside, Little White would always return to the Spirit Pagoda alone when it had nothing to do.
After seeing Little White, the old man's body trembled violently. His eyes revealed a trace of surprise. After a while... His flickering eyes returned to normal, but his tone still carried some disbelief, "That's right. I've seen the Baize Lion with my father before. Although his appearance has changed, his natural aura is exactly the same. This is the Baize Lion. It's just that I can sense the aura on the Baize Lion's body. Why has it become a little turbid? Could it be that it has been attacked by someone?"
"Perhaps." Yang Xuan said with uncertainty, because when he was in Beast Spirit Sect, Elder Yu Yang had indeed said that a long time ago, someone had tried to subdue the Baize Lion and serve him.
"The relationship between the Beast Spirit Sect and my family is really good, although I haven't left the Phoenix World for some time. But now, many young disciples would come to the Beast Spirit Sect to settle down while traveling. That place is a rare place that doesn't treat ferocious beast as a slave. I have a good impression of them. "
Yang Xuan's eyes became fervent when he heard the old man's words. But unexpectedly, the old man suddenly changed the topic and said, "But, this matter started because of you. Although the Beast Spirit Sect has a good relationship with my race, what does it have to do with us?"
"But..."
"There are no buts. If you want to help the Beast Spirit Sect, then you have to think of a way yourself. I don't care what you think, but I won't help you." The old man's tone suddenly became very cold, as if Yang Xuan had nothing to do with him. This made Yang Xuan very confused.
Just as Yang Xuan was about to say something, the old man suddenly disappeared from where he stood.
"Don't look at me. Your grandfather's temper has always been strange. I can't change what he has decided..." Shu Moli saw Yang Xuan looking at her for help, but she gave Yang Xuan a helpless look. She said helplessly.
Yang Xuan's heart skipped a beat. Originally, Beast Spirit Sect wanted Yang Xuan to find the Phoenix Clan in ten years to help them. But now that the Phoenix Clan was unwilling to help, Yang Xuan had no choice but to think of another way. However, if Yang Xuan wanted to defeat the devil in the Beast Spirit Sect's secret realm, it would take him ten years, let alone ten years. Even if he was given another hundred years, he might not be a match for it.
"Is there really no other way?" Yang Xuan thought in his heart. The expression on his face could not help but be disappointed. He did not know what to do for a moment.
At this moment, the other old man who played chess with the old man just now laughed and said, "Young man, do you really believe what this old bastard said?"
"Old bastard? Who is it?" Yang Xuan was thinking about something related to the Beast Spirit Sect, but he was interrupted by the old man. Caught off guard, he blurted out the question.
However, Yang Xuan's question made the old man burst into laughter. While laughing, he was pounding the table. A few drops of tears had already flowed out of the corner of his eyes. Shu Moli, who was standing beside Yang Xuan, tried very hard to restrain herself. However, she could still see that she was holding back her laughter.
Their laughter puzzled Yang Xuan, but the old man soon calmed down and said, "Old Eighth Wang is your grandfather. You are not a native of the Phoenix Clan. So there are some things that you don't know. There was a stone tablet in the Phoenix Clan with the names of every Phoenix Clan clansman written on it. For example, my name is Shu Qianyang, unless Phoenix Ancestor asks me to remove my name from the Phoenix Clan. Otherwise, my name will always appear on the stone tablet. Furthermore, the names on the clan monument were created by the creation of the heaven and earth, so no one needed to write them with their hands. Back then, when your great grandfather gave birth to your grandfather, he was momentarily agitated. He gave Shu Wangba's name, but when he finally realized what was going on... It's too late."
