Chapter 235: Tianyin Laoren Comes Knocking

A quarter of an hour ago.

An elderly man in purple robes, leaning on a cane but with a quite sturdy physique, appeared at the main gate of Langya Pavilion.

The Langya Pavilion Disciples standing guard at the entrance saw this familiar face and quickly stepped forward, saying respectfully, "Greetings, Senior Tianyin!"

"Hmm!" The latter responded with an expressionless sound and prepared to walk straight inside.

However, he was stopped by the two Disciples. A flash of displeasure crossed Tianyin Laoren's face, and he said coldly, "What are you trying to do?"

This was only because it was Langya Pavilion; if it were any other faction, for this alone, the Disciple might have been killed on the spot for his lack of tact.

The two revealed a hint of helplessness; if they had a choice, they wouldn't want to be so lacking in discernment either!

It was just that Tianyin Laoren's gloomy expression and posture were exactly like someone coming to settle a score.

"This Disciple dares to ask..." one of them said respectfully, "May I ask if Senior has come to visit the Pavilion Master?"

Tianyin Laoren had not lost his reason, so he nodded and said, "That's right!"

"Then..." the Disciple instructed the person behind him, "Go and report this!"

"Hmm!" The latter nodded and quickly walked into Langya Pavilion.

The Disciple then turned to face Tianyin Laoren and said with a smile, "Senior, please!"

"Hmph!" Tianyin Laoren certainly noticed the small movements of the Langya Pavilion Disciples, but he didn't care, simply walking slowly into Langya Pavilion.

Tianyin Laoren passed through the Langya Pavilion barrier with ease, entered the Langya Realm, and then arrived in the main hall of Langya Pavilion.

Small Book Pavilion

At this time, Yi Huang and Xiao Han were already waiting there. Seeing the familiar figure, Xiao Han greeted him with a smile, "Old man Tianyin, what brings you to my Langya Pavilion?"

"Hmph!" After seeing Xiao Han, Tianyin Laoren made no other move, only holding his hand in front of him.

"Sigh~ Ice Saint, please don't be so polite with this old man; it's better if we keep things clear between our two families!"

Xiao Han and Yi Huang exchanged a glance, both seeing the sense of trouble in the other's eyes.

The former's expression remained unchanged, "Did one of the little brats from my Langya Pavilion offend you, Senior? Please, Senior Tianyin, tell me in detail!"

Tianyin Laoren looked left and right, not seeing the figure he had in mind, and struck the ground hard with his cane, cracking the jade-paved floor into spiderweb-like fissures.

"Where is that brat Sheng Han, and that fellow Ye Jianxin? Call them out for me!" Tianyin Laoren said sternly.

Xiao Han hurriedly replied, "Fine, fine, fine, I'll call those two out for you right now!"

Yi Huang sent the message out at the first opportunity, then stepped forward to join Xiao Han in soothing this short-tempered old man.

However, the doubts in their hearts were reduced quite a bit; at least they knew that this person before them was likely angry about something regarding the father-son pair, Ye Jianxin and Sheng Han.

But a new doubt arose: Ye Jianxin had been in seclusion recently and didn't seem to have done anything that would provoke heaven's wrath or people's resentment.

And as for Sheng Han, it went without saying; he was exceptionally precocious and such an honest child, how could he possibly cause trouble?

Thinking this, Xiao Han asked cautiously, "I wonder how they offended you, old sir? Tell me, and we will make them pay for it later!"

Yi Huang also adopted a similar stance, echoing him repeatedly.

Tianyin Laoren looked at the two of them helplessly, and the words he spoke left them in a petrified state.

"That brat Sheng Han has gotten our Xin'er pregnant. You tell me, if I don't look for them, who should I look for!"

"What?" Yi Huang said in pleasant surprise, "The girl Xin'er is with child?"

Xiao Han was also astonished; he hadn't expected that while Sheng Han looked honest, when he met the right person, his actions were fast, accurate, and ruthless!

At this moment, they finally understood why Tianyin Laoren was speaking so sharply today, as if he had eaten gunpowder.

Xiao Han put himself in the other's shoes: if anyone dared to snatch away his own daughter and do such a thing, he reckoned he would go straight to their door, break the other party's legs, and drag them away!

However, while thinking that was fine, Xiao Han couldn't just let Tianyin Laoren settle the score and really break the legs of such a good child as Sheng Han.

Xiao Han and Yi Huang exchanged a look; their mutual understanding meant they didn't need words to express their respective intentions.

They stepped forward together to comfort Tianyin Laoren.

"Senior Tianyin, let's talk this over calmly. Don't worry, once that brat Sheng Han comes, we will definitely make him pay!"

"Yes, yes, yes, the girl Xin'er is so wonderful. The boy is young and ignorant, not knowing how to cherish her, becoming a mother at such a young age..."

Xiao Han and Yi Huang spoke one after another, hovering around Tianyin Laoren.

"Enough, enough!" Tianyin Laoren finally couldn't bear it and spoke up, "This old man didn't come here today to do anything to that brat!"

Tianyin Laoren was clear-headed; Sheng Han was already his intended son-in-law and Xin'er's sweetheart. Such a suitable candidate would be impossible to find even with a lantern in the future.

His behavior just now was merely because he had learned his heart's treasure had been taken advantage of by some bastard, and he couldn't get over his anger for a moment.

But since things had reached this point, getting angry was of no use; he could only try to remedy the situation.

"This old man came here this time to discuss the marriage of these two little ones and give my Xin'er a proper status!"

As he spoke, Tianyin Laoren curled his lips in annoyance, "You two don't have any objections, do you?"

"No, absolutely not!" Before Yi Huang and Xiao Han could speak, Ye Jianxin's surprised voice came from outside the door.

Looking toward the sound, Ye Jianxin was walking over with a face full of joy, and Sheng Han followed closely behind. That face, which was usually an iceberg that wouldn't melt for ten thousand years, carried seven parts joy, two parts surprise, and one part guilt!

Before he could react, Ye Jianxin stepped forward and kicked him.

With a thud, Sheng Han knelt down facing Tianyin Laoren, his face filled with confusion and bewilderment.

However, this scene didn't last long before Ye Jianxin punched Sheng Han on the head and said apologetically to the ill-tempered Tianyin Laoren:

"Senior Tianyin, Sheng Han is young and ignorant, leading to such a grave mistake. This junior feels deeply sorry!"

"So..."

"This boy is yours to deal with!"

That look truly had the feeling of sacrificing one's own kin for the sake of righteousness.

Tianyin Laoren chuckled and glanced at Ye Jianxin indifferently, "Alright, how about this brat Sheng Han marries into my Sound Valley?"

"With such a great genius, our Sound Valley won't let him suffer any grievances."

Ye Jianxin's expression froze. Marry into the family?

This seemed a bit inappropriate! But since the words were already out, he could not very well refuse...

Just as Ye Jianxin was caught in a dilemma, the relaxed voice of Tianyin Laoren drifted over, "I was only joking!"

On the Dou Qi Continent, men hold a relatively dominant position, and there are indeed not many female powerhouses.

Therefore, a man marrying into his wife's family is easily looked down upon; what Tianyin Laoren said just now was merely to scare Ye Jianxin.

Immediately, Tianyin Laoren's expression turned solemn, "However, I hope that the child of these two can be handed over to my Sound Valley to be raised. How about it?"

One of the reasons why Tianyin Laoren did not oppose the marriage between the two was that his own health was still quite robust; as a Dou Sheng, as long as he did not encounter any accidents, he could easily live for another thousand years or more.

Supporting the next Sound Valley Master until they matured was absolutely no problem, and the child of Xin'er and Ye Shenghan would definitely have exceptional talent; where else could he find such a good successor?

Ye Jianxin naturally agreed to this request from Tianyin Laoren without hesitation.

In their exchange, they directly determined the future of this child, paying no heed at all to the child's father, Ye Shenghan.

Once there is a wife, a child is only a matter of time; Ye Jianxin had thought this through very clearly.

"Since that is the case, shall we discuss the details of the wedding now?"

"No problem!" Ye Jianxin said hurriedly. Seeing Ye Shenghan still looking dazed, he could not help but scold him, "What are you standing there for? Hurry up and serve tea to Senior Tianyin!"

Xiao Han and Yi Huang watched Ye Shenghan's bewildered state with amusement, and then joined in the discussion.
