Chapter 18: Chapter 18: Shameless Old Man, Hidden Talent!

Before Long Tian could speak, Ruo'er held his hand, her eyes welling up with tears.

"How did you get hurt? Tell me, Grandpa treat him. Feed him all the healing pills you have,"

She asked, her voice laced with concern. A warm smile graced Long Tian's lips as he gently rubbed the top of her head, appreciating her care and worry. While the old man's lips twitched as he grumbled under his breath.

She did not know of the method he used to tap in his qi, his grandpa did not tell her because he feared she might use the method to gain power because of the state the boy was in.

"It's fine, a month of rest and I'll be back in shape in no time," Long Tian assured her.

However, before he could say more, a forceful slap landed on his back, causing him to stumble forward and cough up a mouthful of blood. The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

"Don't act brave, kid. After you go home, get a doctor to check your o–" Before he could finish his sentence, a wave of killing intent washed over him, and he felt a punch in the stomach that didn't cause any pain.

"What the heck do you think you're doing, Grandfather? Do you want to suffer Some injuries too?" Ruo'er spoke with a smile on her face, causing the old man to click his tongue.

Long Tian stood back up and stopped her from further assault as the old man helped him clear the blood in his veins that would have clogged soon.

"You haven't even married yet, and you're taking someone else's side. You're even throwing away our years of relationship. Ah! How hurt I feel~. This is all because of you, you brat!!"

He exclaimed in mock anger and resentment. Long Tian rolled his eyes at the old man's exaggerated expression. He was even wiping a small tear that he squeezed out.

Hearing his words, Ruo'er's face turned as red as an apple, and steam started coming out of her head.

'Marriage, marrying, wedding with Tian~, kids~~, mini Tian~~, waahhhh~~~' More and more steam came out of her head as she shook her head while blood started leaking from her nose, speaking gibberish like

"We can't do that now, we are still kids"

She started letting out some eerie laughter, causing them both to shiver. Tian forced a smile on his face as he did his best to ignore her. Thinking of changing the topic, Tian turned to the old man and asked with a serious tone.

His words caused the old man's grin to widen.

In this world lineages affect the talent of the newborns, talented and powerful people tend to have more talented students that's why families focus on family background more while they marry their children.

The next words from the old man confirmed his suspicions.

"Indeed, she has yet to awaken her bloodline; after that, her talent will soar through the skies. What about you, brat? What will you do now? From what I know, you grasp things even faster than her."

Tian knew very well what the man was talking about when he was saying 'what will you do?' but decided not to comment on that

" I will find another method to look into more books. I can become a body cultivator. About my talent, I feel it is different and much more complicated with the dense energy that was revolving around the orb."

He noticed how the boy changed the topic but decided to remain silent about it. The old man nodded his head, as he knew what he felt was different from those with low or no talent. Only people with extreme knowledge and sensitivity to qi, or those who were very near the orb, could sense it.

"I need to go home soon. I don't think I can hold on much longer. When will you leave for the sect?"

Tian spoke, his voice getting a little strained. He was dripping in sweat and his eyes were droopy.

Sighing at the sight of the admirable young man, he replied,

"Today, we will go back, pack our belongings, and leave for the sect tomorrow."

This talk brought Ruo'er out of her reverie as she approached them and hugged Tian's arm

"I want to stay with Tian more grandpa. Why don't we go there after a few days."

There was sadness and longing in her eyes which almost melted the old man's heart but he spoke in a firm tone declining her without leaving any room for argument.

" No! You have to get stronger if you want to stay with him otherwise you will only cause him harm. You can meet him after you read that elder's level. You have to work hard for your future."

Hearing this Ruo'er eyes got moist as she hugged him tightly.

" I will go back, say your goodbye as you might not be able to see him tomorrow." With that the old man went away.
