Even though Xiao Batian was crying and laughing at the same time, he was still an indomitable grandfather. For more than a decade, he had never revealed any inner pressure or sadness in front of Xiao Chen.
Xiao Batian would always straighten his back in front of Xiao Chen and always had a loving or serious expression on his face. He was the one who gave Xiao Chen a fulfilling childhood, the one who gave Xiao Chen parental love, the one who taught Xiao Chen everything, and the one who forged the foundation for Xiao Chen to become a powerhouse.
Xiao Chen personally helped Xiao Batian up. He looked into the latter's eyes and said gratefully, "Grandfather, you've worked hard all these years.
"Grandpa, you've worked hard all these years. Without you, I wouldn't be where I am today. You'll always be my good grandpa. From now on, let me take care of you, support you, and protect you. Whoever dares to harm a single hair on your head, I'll wipe out their entire family!"
"Okay, okay, okay. I'll listen to you, hehe." Xiao Batian said 'good' three times in a row. His body trembled with excitement. He was extremely proud to have such an outstanding grandson forever.
"Grandfather, I, Da Huang, and Big Brother will protect you together and show filial respect to you." The cold and arrogant Lion King was the second to express his stance.
When Fengsha Sword heard The Lion King's stance, he hurriedly expressed his sincerity as well, "Grandfather, I, Xiao Sha, and Big Brother will take care of you together. No one will dare to touch you."
"Good," Xiao Batian agreed happily. He glanced at Xiao Chen and his brothers with a gratified gaze and said with a smile, "The three of you are my, Xiao Batian's, good grandsons. You're all the most outstanding children. With your protection, I can live for more than a hundred years, hahaha!"
"How is a hundred years enough? At least a thousand years, no, ten thousand years, "The Lion King continued Xiao Batian's words.
"Da Huang, how can you say that?" Fengsha Sword said in an old-fashioned manner. He glanced at The Lion King with disdain and then said seriously,
"We three brothers, no, four brothers. Xiao Jin is also our brother. The four of us will become immortal True Gods in the future. When we become True Gods, we naturally have to make Grandfather a True God too, right? Therefore, Grandpa will never die. "
"Eh …" Xiao Batian, Xiao Chen, and the Lion King were all stunned by the Flaming Fiend Sword's grand goal. They looked at each other with strange expressions on their faces, then burst into laughter in unison, "Hahaha!"
"Haha."
Bi Xuesao was moved by the touching and heartwarming scene in front of her. Her beautiful eyes glistened with tears and she smiled gently. She temporarily forgot the humiliation she had suffered in the General Pavilion of the Black Magic Pavilion. She was extremely shocked by Xiao Chen's cultivation and sighed in her heart. She lamented that Deputy Pavilion Master Xiao had completely disappeared more than a year ago.
Hearing Bi Xuesao's laughter, Xiao Chen turned to look at her. A complicated look flashed across his eyes. He did not know how to face this woman who was once coquettish to the core. He did not hate Bi Xuesao at all. Instead, he felt a trace of sympathy and gratitude. After all, Bi Xuesao had taken care of his grandfather.
"Ah?"
Bi Xuesao felt a little uncomfortable being stared at by Xiao Chen's bright and deep eyes. She looked down at the ground in a panic and did not dare to look at Xiao Chen's eyes. Her pretty face became a little shy.
She once wanted to eat Xiao Chen, the young boy, but unfortunately, she did not succeed. Now, she might not have the chance anymore. After all, her body was no longer clean. Besides, with Xiao Chen's current status and strength, she was not worthy of him. Of course, if Xiao Chen was willing, it would be another matter.
Xiao Batian was experienced. He guessed from the expressions of Xiao Chen and Bi Xuesao that there was something fishy between them in the past. If Bi Xuesao had not been defiled by Blood Hangman, he would definitely have brought them together. But now, he could only leave it to fate.
"Let's go. Let's go out first." Xiao Batian sighed in his heart. He pulled Xiao Chen's hand and walked forward. He glanced around the main hall and found a corpse lying on the ground between the blood coffins. He guessed that it should be the living dead that The Lion King had mentioned, so he did not pay much attention to it.
More than an hour later, Xiao Chen and the others walked out of the secret chamber along the underground passage. When they were going up the vertical passage, the Fengsha Sword flew twice. The first flight sent Bi Xuesao up, and the second flight picked up Xiao Chen and Xiao Batian. This was Xiao Chen's way of showing sympathy for Bi Xuesao, and Bi Xuesao was touched.
When Xiao Chen and the others walked out of the secret chamber and walked through a passage into a large hall, Zhang Xiao San and Wang Che, who were waiting outside, became excited. They immediately knelt on one knee and said respectfully, "Your subordinates welcome the Retired Emperor, Your Highness, The Lion King, and Miss."
"Retired Emperor?" Xiao Batian was stunned. He didn't know who the two in front of him were calling the Retired Emperor. After thinking for a moment, he guessed that the two thought he was the Retired Emperor. He couldn't help but laugh, "I'm not the Retired Emperor. If you don't mind, why don't you call me Senior Xiao? Hahaha! "
"This … Your subordinate doesn't dare." Zhang Xiao San and Wang Che didn't understand. They knew that the old man in front of them was Xiao Chen's grandfather. Xiao Chen was a prince of the previous dynasty, so calling Xiao Chen's grandfather the Retired Emperor shouldn't be wrong. But why did the old man say that he wasn't the Retired Emperor?
Xiao Chen saw the confusion on Zhang Xiao San and Wang Che's faces, so he calmly said, "Uncles, you can call my grandfather Senior Xiao. I'm not a prince, so my grandfather naturally isn't the Retired Emperor."
"Yes, Xiao Huang … Young Master Chen." Hearing Xiao Chen's words, Zhang Xiao San and Wang Che could only obey. They even changed the way they addressed Xiao Chen to Young Master Xiao Chen. In any case, calling him Young Master shouldn't be a problem.
Xiao Chen no longer paid attention to Zhang Xiao San and Wang Che. He turned to Xiao Batian and grinned, "Grandfather, Little Chen will bring you to a restaurant to take a hot bath. Then, I'll order a table full of delicacies to nourish your body. Is that okay?"
"Okay, Little Chen, you can arrange it. Hahaha." Xiao Batian was originally a very happy person. Now that his grandson was filial to him, his mood was extremely good. From time to time, he would let out a hearty laugh.
After surviving a calamity, the bitterness is over and the sweetness begins!
Before, Xiao Batian had never thought that he would be able to walk out of the hellish Black Magic Pavilion General Pavilion. He had thought of biting his tongue and committing suicide. However, in order to see Xiao Chen again, he had persevered for over a year. Now that the clouds had parted and the blue sky had appeared, he was finally out alive. Furthermore, he was personally rescued by Xiao Chen. Naturally, he was incomparably happy.
When Zhang Xiao San and Wang Che heard Xiao Chen's words, they knew that their chance to shine had come. Exchanging a glance, Zhang Xiao San turned to Xiao Chen and respectfully said, "Young Master Xiao Chen, this subordinate will immediately arrange for Vice Commander Wang to book the best restaurant in the city, Full Moon Restaurant. Is that possible?"
"Of course." Xiao Chen did not refuse Zhang Xiao San and Wang Che's good intentions. He took out ten purple-gold bills worth one hundred thousand taels of silver from his storage ring and threw them at Zhang Xiao San. At the same time, he ordered in a tone that could not be refused:
"These are purple-gold bills worth one million taels of silver. Aside from the cost of the restaurant, consider the rest of the money as a reward from this young master to the brothers guarding this place. You cannot refuse my kind intentions. Now, quickly arrange for the restaurant!"
"One million taels of purple gold? So much! " Zhang Xiao San caught the stack of purple-gold bills flying towards him. With a casual glance, he discovered that they were all purple-gold bills worth one hundred thousand taels of silver. Naturally, he did not dare to accept Xiao Chen's purple-gold bills.
However, when he met Xiao Chen's undeniable gaze, Zhang Xiao San decisively kowtowed towards Xiao Chen and thanked him, "This subordinate obeys! This subordinate will go immediately! In addition, this subordinate represents the brothers in thanking Young Master Xiao Chen for his reward! May Senior Xiao be as blessed as the East Sea and live as long as the heavens! "
After thanking him, Zhang Xiao San quickly stood up and handed a purple-gold bill to Wang Che. He ordered, "Vice Commander Wang, immediately bring some men to book out the entire Full Moon Restaurant. Remember, you must book out the entire Full Moon Restaurant. Ask all unrelated people to leave, and do not injure anyone. I will accompany Senior Xiao and Young Master Xiao later. Go quickly!"
"Understood!" Wang Che did not hesitate and rushed out of the main hall at full speed to personally arrange for the restaurant.
To be able to serve Xiao Chen, Xiao Batian, and The Lion King, who were at the highest levels of the Restoration Nation, was a great honor for Zhang Xiao San and Wang Che. Perhaps if Xiao Chen was happy, not only would he reward them with purple-gold bills, he might even promote them or give them other good stuff.
Even if Xiao Chen did not promote Zhang Xiao San and the others, the Restoration Nation's Branch Leader, Xiao Haoran, would definitely reward them greatly when he found out that they had done their job well. This was because the Restoration Nation was a superpower that had a clear distinction between rewards and punishments.
When Zhang Xiao San saw Wang Che leave the main hall, he turned to Xiao Chen and the others and said respectfully, "Senior Xiao, Young Master Xiao, Lord The Lion King, Young Mistress, please follow me. The horse carriage has already been prepared outside."
Xiao Chen nodded his head in satisfaction and instructed, "Lead the way."
