He was afraid that Chentian would take things too hard, so he decided not to ask him about his injuries. He wanted to let Chentian calm down and think things through before coming back to the house!
However, the noble House meeting was about to begin, and gonggao had to call his grandson, Chentian, no matter what. Heâd always brought his grandson to the meetings in the past, and Chentian was his pride and joy-he was one of the stronger practitioners among the younger generation.
But this year, he had to bring Chendi-he was afraid that Chentian would feel bad about it, so he wanted to bring Chentian as well! Gonggao had high hopes for Chentian, but he didnât really like Chendi!
Even though Chentian was injured, Chendi still wasnât favored-he only received more attention from gonggao than before, but he still didnât have the luxury of spending money like Chentian did. His pocket money was still pitifully small.
Of course, there was a reason why gonggao didnât like Chendi.
Before the noble House meeting, gonggao called Chentian.
âGrandpa?â Wu Chengtian didnât think that his grandfather would call at this time. He was afraid that his grandfather would call to ask about his injury, and he really couldnât tell him anything because Lin Yi told him to keep it a secret. He couldnât say much even in front of his grandfather.
But his grandfather didnât call him after that, and he let out a breath of relief. He didnât expect the phone call to come right before the noble House meeting, and he had to be careful,âGrandpa, whatâs the matter?â
âChentian, how have you been? Are you alright?â Chentianâs careful voice made gonggaoâs heart ache-he thought that Chentian was afraid of losing his love after losing his strength! Gonggao quickly said,âChentian, youâre a physical practitioner, donât be discouraged. Itâs okay if your meridians are injured, as long as your hands arenât injured, you can still practice house Wuâs Iron Fist Arts. As for your meridians, Grandpa will get someone to ask for a Meridian opening elixir for you âŚâ
âGrandpa ⌠I âŚâ Chentian didnât expect his Grandpa to say that, and he felt even more bitter. He wanted to tell gonggao that he was fine, that he had recovered, that he was an early phase Mystic now, and that he was about to break through to late phase peak!
âŚ
But his rationality stopped him from doing that. He knew that if he didnât say it now, his Grandpa would only be sad for a short while, but if he said it, it would affect Lin Yiâs big plan!
âAlright, Chentian, donât be sad, donât be discouraged. The noble House meeting is about to begin, howâs that? Are you in the mood to go with me?â Gonggao asked.
âI âŚâ Chentian didnât know how to answer.
âItâs fine, Iâll bring Wu Chendi with me this time, you come too? With Grandpa here, no one will dare to laugh at you!â âNo matter what, Iâm still a Mystic mid Phase-Iâm still one of the top masters in the noble House!â Gonggao said.
âThank you, Grandpa ⌠But I wonât be going for now âŚâ Chentian said.
âAlright, donât think too much, and donât have any psychological burden!â âThen Iâll hang up first,â gonggao said. âRest in peace!â
âAlright! But Grandpa, donât worry, I wonât let you down! I will become your pride. Please remember my words, I will do as I say!â Chentian couldnât say too much, so he just gave a hint.
âHehe, Iâll remember that! Iâll be waiting for this day to come!â Gonggao smiled-Chentian seemed to be in a good mood, and that made him feel at ease. Heâd been worried that Chentian wouldnât be able to take it and do something extreme, but Chentian seemed to have regained his confidence!
After hanging up, Chentian let out a breath of relief and looked at Lin Yi,âBoss, come on, I want to level up, I want strength! Iâm going to shine in the noble House meeting this time and make house Wu one of the top noble houses!â
âCome on!â Lin Yi smiled and placed his hand on Chentianâs meridians, channeling his art of Dragon mastery. Chentian, on the other hand, quickly channeled his practitionerâs Arts âŚ
Jingyi wasnât having a good time either-after house sun found out about Chentianâs injury, they didnât want to marry Jingyi off to him anymore, and the Head of House sun had mentioned it to gonggao, but he didnât say anything about it.
He knew that letting Jingyi marry a cripple like Chentian was putting him in a difficult position, and he seemed to have heard from Chentian that Jingyi had some sort of relationship with his boss, Lin Yi. He didnât mind it too much and just laughed it off.
Even if he couldnât marry into house sun now, he couldnât make an enemy of house sun, and gonggaoâs compromise made the old man feel a little embarrassed. He agreed to help gonggao at the meeting!
And so, gonggao thought that it was a good deal, and he didnât mention it to Chentian at all-Chentian had already told him that heâd given up on Jingyi, so what was the point of gonggao bringing it up?
And so, gonggao had gotten a bargain! And so, while gonggao wasnât in a good mood about Chentianâs injury, he was able to stay calm after what happened at the noble House meeting.
At first, when house sun told her that theyâd canceled their engagement with Chentian, she wasnât too happy about it-Chentian had already given up on her and became Lin Yiâs follower, and so she didnât care about the engagement at all.
Of course, that wasnât the main problem-the main problem was that house sun wanted to marry Jingyi off to another Noble House, for the benefit of the house!
âJingyi, Iâve already signed you up for the noble House meeting this time. Come with me to the meeting, and see if there are any young talents there, and Iâll find you a husband!â It was old man sun-he called personally to get Jingyi back to house sun.
âGrandpa, Iâve told my family before that I have a boyfriend and someone I like. I want to live my own life, so please donât force me. I donât care about wealth, I just want to live a quiet life.â Sun Jingyi hesitated and rejected,âI donât want to be a sacrifice for a family marriage!â
