Chapter 56 Grandpa and Grandson Reunite-Fantasia: A paixão do passado roubou o casamento? Eu concordo, então por que você está arrependida!(Brilhante)

"Ye Fan of the soaring Sky Sect from the northwestern border, pays my respects!"

"I must trouble Fellow Daoist to deliver this visiting card to Honorable Elder Jiang Yue!"

Outside the gates of the Heavenly Sword Sect, Ye Fan handed the visiting card to the gatekeeping disciple.

The disciple looked Ye Fan up and down. He had never heard of such a person.

However, since the visitor explicitly requested to see Honorable Elder Jiang Yue, he dared not neglect the matter.

Within the Heavenly Sword Sect, the status of an honorable elder was extremely high. Apart from the Patriarch, they were not subject to anyone's jurisdiction.

Even the Sect Master would have to show them three points of courtesy upon meeting them.

Jiang Yue, in particular, was an exceptionally powerful existence among the honorable elders of the Heavenly Sword Sect.

Usually, there were a great many people wishing to pay their respects to him, and most of these people desired to take Jiang Yue as their master.

The Heavenly Sword Sect had clear regulations: the internal honorable elders were permitted to accept disciples privately.

Furthermore, the disciples of the honorable elders were not bound by the sect rules of the Heavenly Sword Sect, yet they could enjoy the treatment and privileges of Heavenly Sword Sect disciples.

Consequently, many young cultivators came here aspiring to his reputation.

This was also one of the reasons why the Heavenly Sword Sect had always been able to maintain its strength.

As the saying goes, the sea embraces all rivers; the Heavenly Sword Sect was just like this ocean.

Anyone with capability could stay here.

"Please wait a moment, Fellow Daoist. I shall go and report this immediately."

The gatekeeping disciple immediately took Ye Fan's visiting card and walked into the sect.

Chu Ling'er was also somewhat curious, wishing to see what kind of background Ye Fan possessed within the Heavenly Sword Sect.

A few minutes later, an elder with the immortal air of a Daoist master was seen striding out vigorously from within the sect.

"Where is he?"

"Fan'er! My good grandson, Grandpa has come to pick you up!"

A booming and bustling voice could be heard echoing from afar.

Ye Fan was far too familiar with this voice.

After all these years, his grandfather was still as bold and heroic as ever!

"Fan'er pays his respects to Grandpa!"

Ye Fan immediately knelt down to pay his respects.

Jiang Yue pulled him up from the ground in one motion, completely disregarding his dignity as an honorable elder, and gave Ye Fan a big hug!

"Why so formal with Grandpa, Fan'er?"

"Come, come, come! Let Grandpa take a good look at you!"

"After all these years, I've missed you to death!"

"Oh my! Look at how handsome my grandson has grown, you've got a proper nose and eyes!"

Black lines instantly covered Ye Fan's forehead; it was the first time he had ever heard someone praised in that manner...

Unable to conceal his inner excitement, Jiang Yue immediately shouted to the gatekeeping disciples, "Come and look, everyone, this is my grandson!"

"What do you think? Isn't he a man of exceptional talent and appearance?"

How could those gatekeeping disciples dare to defy his wishes? They immediately nodded and agreed repeatedly.

Watching this scene unfold, Chu Ling'er found it almost hard to believe.

Never had she imagined that Ye Fan would have such a grandfather in the Heavenly Sword Sect!

This person was far more formidable than his own father, the Sect Master of the Soaring Sky Sect.

At this instant, a sense of regret arose in Chu Ling'er's heart.

Had she known earlier that Ye Fan possessed such a background, nothing could have made her get involved with Lin Yi.

"Fan'er! Come inside with Grandpa quickly!"

"Oh, that's right! This is your younger brother Jiang Ming! You two know each other!"

Only then did Ye Fan notice that a young man was standing behind his grandfather, looking a few years younger than himself.

"Jiang Ming, long time no see."

Of course Ye Fan remembered him; Jiang Ming was Jiang Yue's biological grandson.

They had played together when they were young, except that Jiang Ming had never been very friendly toward this older cousin of his.

That was also because Ye Fan had truly been a good-for-nothing back then, suffering cold glares everywhere he went.

Jiang Ming had not suffered few implicative consequences while staying by his side.

"Mm."

Seeing Ye Fan taking the initiative to greet him, Jiang Ming merely responded with a very bland and indifferent acknowledgment.

It was evident that he still cared very little for Ye Fan even now.

Compared to Jiang Yue's excitement, Jiang Ming's demeanor was inferior even to that of a total stranger.

Regarding this, Ye Fan did not care in the least; after all, he had come to find his grandfather.

As for the attitude others held toward him, it was of no consequence to him.

Following behind his grandfather, Ye Fan walked toward the location of his estate.

They could easily have flown, but his grandfather deliberately chose to walk—and at a very slow pace at that!

Along the way, whenever they encountered an acquaintance, Jiang Yue would immediately introduce Ye Fan to them.

This left Jiang Ming, who walked alongside them, feeling utterly speechless.

He truly had no idea what was going on in his grandfather's mind; Ye Fan was merely a good-for-nothing devoid of any cultivation talent, yet his grandfather was making such a fuss as if he were someone extraordinarily mighty.

The journey that should have taken a dozen minutes ended up lasting for over a full hour.

"We've arrived, we've arrived!"

"Fan'er, do you still remember this place?"

"When you were little, whenever your mother beat you, you would run straight to Grandpa's place!"

"Haha! Thinking back on those things, it feels just like yesterday, yet in the blink of an eye, so many years have passed."

"Speaking of your mother, she went out on a mission and won't be back for a few days."

As he spoke, Jiang Yue led Ye Fan into the estate.

"You must be tired from traveling such a long way from the northwestern border, right?"

"Come, come, come! Grandpa has some top-quality century-old snow lotus fruit here, eat your fill!"

Hearing this, the corner of Ye Fan's twitched. One must know that this century-old snow lotus fruit was also an extremely precious heavenly treasure.

Yet in his grandfather's place, it was treated like ordinary fruit.

"Grandpa, isn't this a bit too extravagant?"

"Not at all! These are all artificially cultivated. Although they are also a century old, their true value isn't as high as those nurtured by heaven and earth."

"Right, Jiang Ming, come here and beat your older brother's back to let him relax properly!"

Jiang Yue called out to Jiang Ming, asking him to massage Ye Fan's back.

At this, Jiang Ming completely rebelled: "I won't do it!"

"This child, why won't you listen?"

"Your older brother has traveled thousands of miles to come here after such great difficulty, why are you so devoid of manners?"

"Besides, how long has it been since you brothers last saw each other? You've grown somewhat distant, hurry up and warm up to each other!"

Jiang Yue urged repeatedly.

Jiang Ming's face immediately darkened: "We were never that close to begin with. If not for him back then, I wouldn't have had to endure so many cold stares for no reason."

As soon as these words were spoken, Jiang Yue became somewhat angry: "How is that any way for you to speak, child?"

"Don't mind him, Fan'er. Jiang Ming simply has this kind of temper; as the older brother, don't hold it against him."

"I'll have a proper talk with him later!"

Ye Fan waved his hand and smiled, "It's nothing, Grandpa!"

"What older brother would hold a grudge against his younger brother?"

"Who is your younger brother?"

"Ye Fan, you are you, and I am me."

"I don't have a good-for-nothing older brother who was chased out of the sect; it's embarrassing just to speak of it."

Jiang Ming bluntly blurted out the thoughts in his heart.

In this youthful and frivolous age, the only figures he worshipped were those peerless powerhouses blessed with extraordinary talent.

Not the weak and incompetent Ye Fan from his memories.

"Jiang Ming! You are entirely out of line!"

"Apologize to your older brother immediately!"

Jiang Yue also possessed a fiery temper; had Ye Fan not been standing right here, he genuinely would have landed a slap across Jiang Ming's face.

"I won't!"

"If you want me to acknowledge him as my brother, he has to defeat me first!"

"Everything is decided by strength!"

"Ye Fan, do you dare?"
