"Can 'er, are you afraid of me?"
Duke Jiu's sudden words startled Shangguan Can. He immediately panicked and hurriedly said, "Grandfather, how can Can 'er be afraid of you? You're my grandfather!"
How could Duke Jiu not know whether Shangguan Can was afraid or not? However, he didn't expose him. Instead, he said, "You should know that I sent your uncle to the Eastern Continent."
Shangguan Can knew that Shangguan Xiao had been to the Eastern Continent, and he also knew the reason why his uncle went there — to warn that pile of shit, as well as to test him.
"Chu Yang isn't afraid of me?"
Shangguan Can was taken aback by those words. He immediately understood the meaning behind his grandfather's words. Shangguan Bao asked that pile of shit to compose a poem and mentioned his grandfather. However, that pile of shit didn't give his grandfather any face. Instead, he gave his parents face.
From this, it could be said that the pile of shit wasn't afraid of his grandfather at all.
"That pile of shit is an outsider, and even he isn't afraid of grandfather. I'm grandfather's grandson, so why should I be afraid of my grandfather?"
Grandfather can kill me, but can he eat me?
Of course not!
All of a sudden, Shangguan Can's heart relaxed, and he became much calmer.
"Looks like it's not bad to have such an opponent as a comparison."
Even though Duke Jiu didn't hear Shangguan Can's thoughts, he could sense the change in his grandson. He smiled in satisfaction, causing Shangguan Can to feel humiliated. He roared furiously, "That pile of shit isn't worthy of being compared to me!"
Duke Jiu didn't reprimand him for his disdain toward Chu Yang. Instead, he asked, "I know that you want to make things difficult for him, but I didn't stop you. Do you know the reason for that?"
This question came out of nowhere, and Shangguan Can was taken aback. He thought, Grandfather, aren't you going to test that pile of shit as well? Why would you stop me?
However, since his grandfather asked him this question, he knew that there was more to it than that. He just couldn't figure it out.
"Not returning to one's hometown for riches is like walking in the night. Can 'er, have you heard of this saying before?"
Shangguan Can seemed to have caught onto something, and he vaguely understood the meaning behind his grandfather's words. However, in the end, he still couldn't make sense of it.
"You can put it that way. I swear I won't return it until I've learned it and become famous!" Duke Jiu paused for a moment before saying, "If you were Chu Yang and you weren't fully prepared, would you come here?"
Boom!
Shangguan Can's brain exploded as he completely understood why his grandfather didn't stop him. That piece of sh * t had just entered Taijing, so it was impossible for him to visit at such a time.
When that piece of shit first entered Taijing City, he had nothing!
The Imperial Examination was approaching. If he were to stand out in the Imperial Examination and emerge as the champion, wouldn't he be even more confident when he visited them then?!
At the very least, if that piece of shit were to come knocking on his door, he would at least prepare some gifts. How could he possibly come empty-handed?
Shangguan Can quickly thought of an even more important reason. Even though that pile of sh * t was on good terms with his family and even had a marriage agreement with his sister, that pile of sh * t would definitely not use this as an excuse to move into Grand Duke Jiu's Residence and borrow its influence. Because he was proud, he would never lower himself and grovel in front of their family and become a punching bag!
From their initial interaction, he had to admit that that pile of sh * t had a backbone, and he was extremely arrogant. How could he possibly be looked down upon by their family and become worthless?
"Grandfather, I saw through it long ago, but I wasn't aware of it!"
