Chapter 738: The Child Is Still Waiting at Home

Just thinking that his family's beautiful beloved granddaughter has already been snatched away by another man makes his heart…

Tick‑tock, tick‑tock, it's the sound of his heart bleeding!

"Hmph!"

The more Yun Batian looks at Fu Hanxiu, the more displeased he feels, thinking his own granddaughter is as beautiful as a flower—how could she have chosen such a man?

Darling granddaughter, you actually deserve better!

When he looks at Ye Qingran again, Yun Batian instantly changes his expression, vividly demonstrating what they call a lightning‑fast face‑flip.

"Darling granddaughter…"

Ye Qingran, with a shiver, asks, "Can you simplify it?"

"Simplify?"

Yun Batian ponders for a moment, "Darling?"

Ye Qingran: "......"

Seeing her expression, as if she had swallowed a fly and could not get a word out, Yun Batian clears his throat and, forced to compromise, says, "Then just call her granddaughter."

"Come quickly, let grandpa have a good look at you."

Yun Batian may not even realize how affected his voice sounds.

Yun Zhongyue and the others get goosebumps all over.

"Oh, no, grandpa is coming to see you!"

Ugh~

Everyone indicates they can't take it any longer.

No, this isn't the clan leader they know, no!

Yun Batian scrutinizes Ye Qingran up close, becoming more satisfied the longer he looks, his mouth stretching wider and wider, to the point that one wonders if his grin will reach behind his ears.

"Sigh, my granddaughter is beautiful; others' beauty is something you see from a distance, but my granddaughter is beautiful from any angle. Deqing, what do you think?"

"Deqing," who was called out, is actually a highly respected Elder of the Yun Tribe.

"Indeed, Miss Qingran's stunning looks could topple a nation."

Elder Deqing, though unable to tolerate Yun Batian's pretentiousness, truly speaks from the heart.

"Guangyuan, what do you think?"

"Miss Qingran is Nan Yin Zhou's number one beauty, unquestionably!"

"Only Nan Yin Zhou?" Yun Batian furrows his brows, clearly unsatisfied with the title of Nan Yin's top beauty.

Elder Guangyuan: "......"

Is he still not pleased?

You old rotten man, that's enough!

Your granddaughter is the world's number one beauty, is that so?

"Fine, being Nan Yin Zhou's number one is also good; we should stay low‑key."

Everyone: "......"

Low‑key doesn't seem to have anything to do with you.

If Ye Qingran hadn't been unable to bear it and rushed to stop him, Yun Batian could have named every person present!

"Ahem, look at my memory; we don't have such an outstanding granddaughter, so why am I telling you all this? You can't even understand."

Yun Batian waves his hand, adopting an attitude of 'I don't share the same level of insight as you.'

The elders: "......"

"I thank you!"

The more Yun Batian looks at Ye Qingran, the more he likes her, even more than when he looked at Yun Ling years ago.

"Could this be what they call a cross‑generational affection?"

Yun Batian doesn't understand.

"My granddaughter is truly beautiful! From now on, who dares to say Yun Batian has no granddaughter! Those old deadbeats will only have envy, jealousy, and hatred!"

Yun Batian thinks with delight, wishing he could immediately take Ye Qingran to visit all his old friends!

However, after the extreme joy, Yun Batian's heart is overtaken by a deep sense of pity.

Thinking that his beloved granddaughter has been wandering abroad for over twenty years, and he didn't even know she existed, makes him feel intense heartache.

He opens his mouth, wanting to ask Ye Qingran about her past, but cannot utter the words.

The matter of Yun Lan already haunts him, and he dreads hearing anything even harder to accept.

"Ahem, Clan Leader, Emperor Sovereign…"

Elder Deqing wants to remind Yun Batian that keeping the Emperor Sovereign waiting like this might not be good.

Yun Batian glances at him, quickly grasps his meaning, but pretends not to hear; hearing the words 'Emperor Sovereign' now makes him feel weak all over.

Yun Batian's disdain for Fu Hanxiu doesn't mean Ye Qingran can stand by and watch Fu Hanxiu be wronged.

Her man, of course, must be upright and proper.

"Let me introduce everyone: this is my man, the Emperor Sovereign of the Summit of the Hunt."

Ahem...

It's the first time in my life I've heard such a… wild introduction.

No wonder she's Miss Yun Ling's daughter; truly unique.

Fu Hanxiu, indulgently lowering his gaze, meets Ye Qingran's eyes, his pupils full of tenderness.

Yun Batian's heart is a tangled mix of emotions.

"Granddaughter, you're still so young, why the rush? Why not think it over again?"

Ye Qingran laughed and asked, "Alright, if you can find me someone better than him, I'll switch immediately."

Yun Batian curled his lip, "That's really not easy to find."

"How about this: I'll try to find one for you, but until then, will you just be our little darling?"

Yun Batian thought to himself that not finding one would be fine, since he could keep her for a lifetime.

"Don't worry, Grandfather will definitely find one for you."

"If you meet someone better than me, you'll kick me out? Huh?"

Fu Hanxiu narrowed his eyes, his tone laced with danger.

"So you're that lacking in confidence?" Ye Qingran laughed, "Don't worry, in this world there will never be a man more outstanding than you!"

"So you're that sure?" Fu Hanxiu raised an eyebrow like a sword.

"Of course! My man is definitely the best!"

"What if there is someone even better than anyone?"

Ye Qingran thought for a moment, "In my eyes, you will always be the most outstanding!"

Fu Hanxiu smiled.

Their interaction, observed by Yun Batian, was something he found extremely tasty.

Fu Hanxiu glared at him, then twitched his lips, "If Grandfather is alright, we can head back first."

"Go, go, go, who is your Grandfather?" Yun Batian waved his hand, a look of disdain on his face.

Fu Hanxiu continued, "After all, the child is still waiting at home."

Child?

Yun Batian looked puzzled, "What child?"

Not only Yun Batian, but everyone of the Yun Tribe present was surprised.

Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge exchanged a glance, as if they guessed something, and both turned pale.
