Chapter 739: Grandpa, Who Are You Looking For?
Ye Qingran was left speechless by Fu Hanxiu's childish behavior, rolling a White Eye. "It's nothing, you heard wrong. I'm a bit tired, I'll go back now."
Yun Batian has already had quite a bit of stimulation today, so it's really not the right time to tell him about Xiaohu Xiaocheng.
When he heard Ye Qingran was tired, Yun Batian anxiously said, "Tired already? Then go rest right away! I'll have someone arrange lodging for you immediately!"
"No need, I'm already used to the current residence," Ye Qingran declined.
"Um…" Yun Batian clearly felt a bit reluctant, but couldn't argue.
On the way back, Ye Qingran's expression gradually grew serious.
"Is the matter resolved?"
Fu Hanxiu was stunned for a moment, then shook his head, "No, I still have to be away for a while."
"Hmm." Ye Qingran said little else.
"Won't you ask what actually happened?"
"I think I've already guessed," Ye Qingran said with a sly smile.
"Hm?" Fu Hanxiu's eyebrows lifted, "You know? Tell me."
"The only one who could make you so eager and so troubled must be your mother, right?"
Fu Hanxiu was taken aback.
She actually knew.
To know, over these years, in order not to affect Xiao Chen, he had been hiding the truth about his grandmother from Xiao Chen.
Ye Qingran didn't intend to tell Fu Hanxiu how she knew, because it wasn't important.
"Fu Hanxiu, no matter what you've been through, you now have me, and Xiaohu Xiaocheng. We are family, we will never abandon you, we will always be by your side."
Ye Qingran grasped Fu Hanxiu's hand, holding it in her palm, trying to warm it.
"I know." A softness rose in Fu Hanxiu's heart, a hundred‑tempered steel turning into a gentle caress.
He had always known.
He had once been wandering and alone, until he met her, and his life became complete.
As for those who try to ruin his happiness or hurt the ones he deeply loves, he won't spare a single one!
Even if the opponent is his birth mother!
Fu Hanxiu's eyes deepened, flashing with endless cold light.
The next day.
Ye Qingran originally planned to take Xiaohu Xiaocheng to Neicheng to see Yun Batian, then let them meet Yun Ling.
Unexpectedly, Yun Batian slipped over early in the morning.
He arrived very early, sneaking into the Courtyard where no one saw him, only a little fellow diligently practicing.
"Grandpa, what are you doing standing on the wall?"
Xiao Hu lifted his head, his face soaked with sweat, showing how hard he was training.
What a cute little fellow!
The moment he saw Xiao Hu, Yun Batian's heart swelled with delight.
If only he were his great‑grandson, how wonderful!
"Oh, I'm looking for someone." Yun Batian sized up the little fellow; unaware that Ye Qingran already had a child, he asked with a smile, "Little fellow, do you also live here?"
"Yes!"
Yun Batian nodded, thinking the little fellow seemed extraordinary—could he be Fu Hanxiu's child?
"Could it be that Fu Hanxiu already has a child, and my precious great‑granddaughter is to be a step‑mother for his child?"
The moment that thought surfaced, his anger boiled over; he wanted to crush that scumbag Fu Hanxiu!
"Grandpa, who are you looking for?"
Xiao Hu blinked at the strange old man before him, not understanding why he suddenly seemed upset.
Yun Batian's impression of Xiao Hu made a 180‑degree turn because of his earlier imagination.
"Hmph! It has nothing to do with you!"
Xiao Hu frowned, thinking perhaps the old man had taken some kind of drug.
"Fine, if you don't want to tell me, that's that. I'm going to train, you take your time."
After speaking, Xiao Hu began to train with full concentration.
He gets up earlier than Xiao Chen every day, then practices in secret, so he can soon surpass Xiao Chen, and Xiao Chen will have to call him brother.
Xiao Hu looked as if he'd been injected with adrenaline, working even harder.
Yun Batian walked a bit further and spotted another boy of similar size training.
"Do all the kids here train this hard? If only the children of the Yun Tribe were this dedicated." Yun Batian couldn't help but sigh.
Yun Batian stared at Xiao Chen's silhouette, feeling a strange familiarity, as if he'd seen it somewhere before.
At that moment, Xiao Chen seemed to sense someone watching him; he didn't turn around, and coolly said, "If you're planning something sinister, I advise you to abandon that thought."
Yun Batian was startled.
The boy gave him a very domineering impression.
"I'm here looking for someone."
Looking for someone?
Xiao Chen slowly turned, lifting his gaze to Yun Batian perched on the wall.
His face instantly darkened.
If earlier, when he saw Xiao Hu, he was only suspicious, now he is absolutely certain!
Because the child's face is practically carved from the same mold as Fu Hanxiu!
"So it really is Fu Hanxiu's son!"
Yun Batian was incensed beyond control; in his heart he had already crushed Fu Hanxiu into powder!
"The Emperor Sovereign at the summit of the hunt is your father?"
He asked irritably.
"Yes." Xiao Chen replied coolly.
"Indeed!" Yun Batian added, "Then the little boy practicing in the Courtyard ahead, is he your older brother or younger brother?"
"What little boy?" After asking, Xiao Chen realized something.
In this mansion, there are only the two of them as little boys; apart from Xiao Hu, who else could it be?
"You damn little Xiao Hu, secretly training without my knowledge!"
Xiao Chen clenched his teeth.
Every time he woke up and didn't see Xiao Hu, he thought Xiao Hu had slipped away to sleep with his mother, but it turned out he was hiding to cultivate!
"He is my younger brother!"
Xiao Chen replied irritably.
"Fu Hanxiu, you already have two children, yet you still dare to trouble my granddaughter! Fine then! You'll die!"
Yun Batian rolled up his sleeve, wishing he could beat Fu Hanxiu up right now.
"Where's your father? Where is he?"
"What could he be doing? At this hour, he's definitely sleeping with my mother."
Since his mother got Father Lord, his chances to sleep with her are few, which makes him very dissatisfied.
"Sleep?"
Yun Batian conjured up some images in his mind, and felt completely unsettled.
His precious granddaughter, defiled just like that?
His heart, bleeding!
"Take me to see him!"
"What are you going to do?"
"What am I going to do? I want to kill him!"
Xiao Chen looked up and down at Yun Batian, shook his head, "Can't you just live properly?"
"You kid, what do you mean?"
"You can't beat him!"
"You..."
It pierces the heart.
Although he didn't want to admit it, what he said seemed to be true.
"Fu Hanxiu, come out for me!"
Yun Batian shouted furiously, completely lacking the demeanor of a clan head.
His voice, laced with Mysterious Force and irrational rage, echoed to every corner of the mansion.
Ye Qingran had been badly tossed about last night; she was sleeping soundly now, until Yun Batian's voice gave her a start, jolting her awake.
"Grandfather?"
She tried to sit up, and discovered…
"Get out!"
A scorching red flushed her face.
Fu Hanxiu smiled and slipped away.
The two tidied up a bit, then left the room.
Xiao Hu, after hearing Yun Batian's roar, rushed over; when he saw Xiao Chen, he was stunned, "You..."
"Stinky Xiao Hu, don't think I don't know; you secretly trained behind my back, right?"
Caught, Xiao Hu felt a bit embarrassed, but then thought, doesn't Xiao Chen do the same?
"How can you have the nerve to say that about me? You do the same!"
"Give up! No matter how hard you try, you can't become the older brother!"
"You should be the one to give up! This life you are destined only to be my younger brother!"
"You are the younger brother!"
"You are!"
Yun Batian watched the pair of infants suddenly quarrel, and felt speechless.
No wonder they worked so hard; it was to fight for the older brother's position.
He suddenly recalled his own pair of twin sons.
Yun Zhongyue and Yun Zhongge seemed to have been the same in childhood; he shook his head, a playful smile curling at the corner of his lips.
