Jianchen, Huang Tianba, Nubis, and Jiede Tai exchanged some pleasantries before Jianchen introduced Bi Hai to everyone. He told them that Bi Hai was his great-grandfather without hiding anything.
Huang Tianba and the others had already learned about the relationship between Bi Hai and Jianchen a few days ago, so they were not too surprised when they heard it. They only sighed inside, thinking that the world was full of wonders. Who would have thought that the two sides who had been enemies just a few days ago would actually have such a close relationship?
"Hahaha, it's great now. We're all on the same side now. Brother Jianchen's faction is becoming more and more powerful. Those regular hermit clans aren't the Flame Mercenaries' opponent anymore," Huang Tianba laughed aloud. He was clearly extremely happy.
Jianchen also smiled when he heard that. He was clearly very satisfied with the current strength of the Flame Mercenaries.
"Let's talk about it when we get down," Jianchen called out to everyone before landing on the ground at the same time.
Jianchen, Bi Hai, Nubis, Jiede Tai, Huang Tianba, Huang Tianba, Huang Luan, Huang Tianba, Jianchen, and a large group of people were gathered in a resplendent room. Huang Tianba had announced that Jianchen had successfully become a Saint Ruler, so all of Jianchen's friends knew about this.
"Brother, have you really become a Saint Ruler?" Ming Dong could not help but ask first. He was filled with excitement.
Jianchen did not deny it. He nodded with a smile.
After receiving confirmation, everyone was first shocked for a moment, then immediately let out an earth-shattering exchange of words.
"Wow, that's fantastic. Brother, you're a hermit expert now. You're amazing," Bi Lian's face was completely red from excitement. Huang Luan and You Yue, who were standing beside her, were also excited. They looked at Jianchen with eyes full of tenderness.
"This is just too unbelievable. Just how long has it been since the last Mercenary Competition ended? The Mercenary King from back then has already become a Saint Ruler. This is just too unbelievable," Wang Yifeng could not help but sigh in amazement as he hugged the Ironfeather Beast that had not grown up yet.
"Jianchen, the gap between us is getting bigger and bigger. It seems that it will be very difficult for me to catch up to you in this lifetime." Tie Ta bitterly smiled as he looked at Jianchen with mixed feelings. Back in Kargath Academy, his strength was not as great as Jianchen's, but the difference was close. Only a few years had passed now, and Jianchen had already become a Saint Ruler, reaching a level that even he could not catch up to. Even the honest Tie Ta found this hard to believe.
Jianchen waved his hand and said, "Alright, everyone quiet down. I have something important to announce to everyone. The person beside me is my great-grandfather, and he's also a Saint Ruler."
These people were the people that Jianchen trusted the most, so Jianchen did not hide Bi Hai's identity from them. Moreover, letting them know that they had gained another Saint Ruler would increase their morale even more.
The people who did not know much about Jianchen's background did not have much of a reaction when they heard this news. They only felt happy that they had gained another Saint Ruler. However, You Yue, who was familiar with Jianchen's background, was filled with doubt. She was the only person present who knew a little about Changyang Prefecture aside from Jianchen. She was surprised that Jianchen had suddenly gained a Saint Ruler great-grandfather.
Suddenly, You Yue seemed to think of something. Her face became filled with surprise as she stared at Bi Hai in shock. She said, "Is this senior the Changyang ancestor who has disappeared for many years?"
Jianchen shook his head. He stared at You Yue and said, "Yue 'er, I'll explain this to you later. Lian' er, come with me. Brother and great-grandfather have some things to say to you alone."
"Alright!" Bi Lian nodded obediently. She first glanced at the blue-robed Bi Hai suspiciously before following Jianchen into another room under everyone's curious gazes. Bi Hai went with them under Jianchen's signal.
After the three of them entered the room, Jianchen closed the door with a wave of his hand. He then looked at Bi Hai and said, "Great-grandfather, this is my sister, Bi Lian. She's also a member of the Bi family. She has the blood of the Bi family flowing through her veins. She's one of the few remaining members of the Bi family." With that, Jianchen turned to Bi Lian and said, "Lian 'er, this is the ancestor of the Bi family. Why don't you greet him?"
"Great-grandfather!" Bi Lian called out in an extremely obedient manner. Her bright eyes were filled with mixed feelings as she studied Bi Hai. She had already learnt the details of her great-grandfather from Bi Yuntian. She knew that he had been missing for many years, but she had never thought that her brother would actually find him.
A benevolent smile appeared on Bi Hai's face. His gaze towards Bi Lian was filled with gentleness. He had once lived alone in a dark cave for over thirty years, living a miserable life. Thus, he was very caring towards each of his descendants.
"Good, good, good. I never thought that I, Bi Hai, would have another great-granddaughter, and one with a rarely seen cultivation physique at that. Not bad, not bad. Looks like even the heavens are helping our Bi family prosper. Before long, our Bi family will be able to return to its former glory," Bi Hai laughed heartily. He was extremely excited.
"Great-granddaughter, your brother has already become a Saint Ruler. There's no need for your great-grandfather to teach you anymore. Just stay by your great-grandfather's side in the future. Your great-grandfather will personally guide you in cultivation. That way, you won't take any detours on the path of cultivation, and you won't waste this rare cultivation physique of yours," Bi Hai gently said to Bi Lian.
However, to Bi Hai's surprise, Bi Lian actually declined his good intentions. She said, "Great-grandfather, Lian 'er wants to stay here and help brother with a few things. I want to share some of the pressure. I don't want to leave."
"Lian 'er, don't worry too much about the matters of the Flame Mercenaries. Don't let these miscellaneous matters affect your cultivation. Cultivation is the most important thing, because on the Tian Yuan Continent, strength is everything. Just leave the matters on your hands to the people below you. There's no need for you to tire yourself out," Jianchen advised.
Bi Lian firmly shook her head. She looked at Jianchen pleadingly and said, "Brother, Lian 'er likes doing these things very much, so just let me do it. Don't chase me away. Lian' er and You Yue will manage the Flame Mercenaries well, and Lian 'er can guarantee you that I won't affect my cultivation."
Jianchen was momentarily at a loss as to what to do when he saw Bi Lian's pleading face. He loved his sister far too much, so he really could not bear to force her to do anything she did not want to do. He could only sigh inside.
"Whatever. Since great-granddaughter has made up her mind, I won't force you. I'll stay here in the future. I'll teach you when I'm free." Bi Hai did not force Bi Lian. Things were different now. In the past, he had many descendants under him, so he would not purposefully care about any of them. Now, however, he paid extra attention to his four descendants. He had completely changed from his past attitude of indifference.
Jianchen, Bi Lian, and Bi Lian left the room after their discussion. They then went outside to chat with everyone else. At this moment, Huang Tianba pulled Jianchen to one side and said, "Brother Jianchen, Old Man wishes to receive your assistance with something."
Jianchen chuckled, "There's no need to be so polite, senior Huang. Just tell me if you need anything. Jianchen will definitely do his best to help."
Huang Tianba's smile had completely vanished. He looked at Jianchen sternly and said, "I wonder if brother Jianchen still remembers the Hongfu clan that Old Man mentioned to you before."
Jianchen's heart skipped a beat. He could vaguely guess what Huang Tianba was thinking. He replied, "Of course I do. The Hongfu clan is the enemy of the Huang family. Their enmity is so deep that it can't be resolved. If I'm not wrong, senior Huang probably wants to move against the Hongfu clan."
Huang Tianba didn't deny it and said, "That's right. Our Huang family and the Hongfu clan have always wanted to eliminate each other to prevent future troubles. However, the strength of our two families has always been very close, and neither side can suppress the other. Even if we were to fight, we would end up with both sides suffering losses. In the end, the only ones who would suffer losses would be us. That's why the enmity between our two families has never been resolved until now. This time, this old man hopes that little brother Jian Chen can join hands with this old man and eliminate the Hongfu clan in one fell swoop.
Jianchen could not help but think about the Ruler Armament in the hands of a Saint Ruler from the Hongfu clan. He could not help but smile, "Senior Huang's matters are my matters. At the same time, the Hongfu clan participated in the matter of the tungsten alloy mine, so they're Jianchen's enemies. Senior Huang, please don't worry. Jianchen will definitely assist you in eliminating the Hongfu clan."
"That's good. With brother Jianchen's assistance, the Hongfu clan will no longer have the ability to contend with our Huang family," Huang Tianba laughed aloud.
Jianchen hesitated slightly before saying, "Senior Huang, I have a presumptuous request. I hope you'll allow it."
"Haha, there's no need to be so polite, brother Jianchen. Go ahead, go ahead," Huang Tianba straightforwardly replied.
"I remember that the Hongfu clan has two Ruler Armaments. One of them just happens to be a sword, and I have a special liking for that sword. I hope that senior Huang can gift the Ruler Armament to me after this matter is over," Jianchen said.
