Chapter 77

The old man was dressed in a wide white robe, but his figure was rather slim and slightly hunched.

There were also some dark spots on his skin, making him look quite aged.

However, such an appearance did not indicate that he was a weak person.

Because, the authority in his eyes was something even Wei Tianxiong could not compare to.

Just a glance from him could make people tremble with fear.

"Grandpa!"

"Great-grandpa!"

A group of young people stood up excitedly, their faces beaming as they welcomed the pillar of their hearts.

Indeed, the person who arrived was none other than the Lord of Tianfu, Wei Tiancang.

He was the true reclusive master of Zhuque Kingdom and the behind-the-scenes controller of the Yanhuang Academy.

Wei Qing, Wei Tianxiong, Wei Zikun, and others also stood up.

"Grandpa, let us help you!" Wei Lingxuan was very happy. She smiled and went forward with Wei Guohao to support Wei Tiancang on either side.

In fact, although Wei Tiancang looked hunched, his steps were actually very steady. But who would refuse the support of their grandchildren?

"He finally smiled." Wei Zikun whispered to Wei Tianxiong.

"Yes, it's like a tree blooming with iron flowers. I should let the children approach him more often. Every time I go to see him, he drives me out." Wei Tianxiong said helplessly.

Seeing their father finally smile and look so happy, the two brothers felt a weight lifted from their hearts.

"Sit."

With the support of his grandchildren, Wei Tiancang walked to the seat of honor and turned to sit down.

Wei Lingxuan had a sudden idea and did not return to her seat. Instead, she stayed beside Wei Tiancang to pour him wine.

"Xuan'er, when you were born, you were only the size of a palm. It's been eighteen years, and you've grown into a young lady..."

Wei Tiancang stroked her head, and a smile spread across his aged face, the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes coming together.

"Grandpa, I only hope time could slow down, so you can stay young forever and always be by Xuan'er's side." Wei Lingxuan said in a sweet voice.

"Good child."

"Grandpa, Xuan'er raises a glass to you, wishing you boundless happiness and longevity."

"Ha ha, today is Xuan'er's birthday, yet you're the one making me happy first."

Seeing the grandfather and granddaughter so happy, Wei Tianxiong and Wei Zikun exchanged glances and couldn't help but laugh.

Indeed, it was a girl like Wei Lingxuan, who was enthusiastic and lively, who could make him see the present life instead of being stuck in the past.

"Grandpa, where's my gift?"

"You little rascal, I've already prepared it for you."

Wei Tiancang took out a large golden sword from somewhere.

The sword was golden and had a green celestial pattern shining on it, exuding a terrifying and fierce aura.

"A fifth-rank beast weapon, the Golden Gate Sword!"

The young people below exclaimed in admiration. This was a famous sword, and they all showed envious expressions.

"Thank you, Grandpa, I love you the most!" Wei Lingxuan excitedly accepted the gift.

"Remember, don't force yourself until you can control this weapon. Everything should be done step by step..." Wei Tiancang instructed.

"I know, Grandpa! Xuan'er is so happy, this is the happiest day of my life. If Grandpa could come out more often to guide Xuan'er's cultivation, that would be great!"

She was happy but also looked at Wei Tiancang pitifully.

"Alright, alright." Wei Tiancang stroked his long beard, his eyes squinting with a smile.

"Xuan'er is amazing." Wei Zikun was impressed.

Indeed, it was the granddaughter who was effective. If he and his brother made such a request, Wei Tiancang probably wouldn't even acknowledge them.

After all, the last time Wei Tiancang came out was when he appointed Mu Yang as the next Lord of Tianfu.

This birthday party could be considered perfect.

The whole family gathered together, enjoying a harmonious and joyful atmosphere, with the young people like Wei Lingxuan livening things up, laughter and joy never ceasing.

At this moment, a guard quietly entered and whispered to Wei Tianxiong, "Palace Master, the Deputy Lord has arrived."

"Let him in, ask if he brought a gift?" Wei Tianxiong smiled.

"He brought a young man, and he asked me to come in and inform you."

"Which young man?"

"I don't know."

"Never mind, let him come in quickly." Wei Tianxiong said hurriedly.

"Who is it?" Wei Zikun leaned in to ask.

"Mu Yang."

"He could have just come in directly."

"He said he brought an outsider."

"Oh."

Wei Zikun didn't pay much attention. Now, a group of young people were surrounding Wei Tiancang, making him happy. Such a happy moment was rare for the Wei family.

At this moment, two people walked in.

...

Li Tianming didn't expect the Wei residence to be so lively this time. He could hear the laughter and joy from a distance.

The Wei residence, although large, was surprisingly simple and elegant.

He took a few more looks because he knew this was where Wei Jing grew up.

She had wandered for twenty years, and Li Tianming believed that she must have a desire to return home in her heart.

"It's so lively today, something must be happening." Mu Yang said.

"Um."

"You don't speak, I'll do the talking." Mu Yang instructed.

"Thank you."

"My master is usually in the Tianyun Hall, he won't come out. I'll talk to Wei Tianxiong and take you directly to the Tianyun Hall."

Mu Yang glanced at the young man and then led Li Tianming into the bustling courtyard.

As soon as he stepped in, he saw Wei Tiancang at the seat of honor.

Li Tianming, of course, saw him too.

It could only be said that there was indeed a mysterious connection between family members.

Although Li Tianming had never met him, he could tell at first glance that the old man in the middle was the Lord of Tianfu, Wei Jing's father.

His grandfather.

As for the God of Punishment, he looked even more majestic, with a ruddy complexion and vigor.

But Li Tianming didn't see him at all from start to finish.

"Master, you came out..." Mu Yang was a bit surprised.

"Yes, today is Xuan'er's birthday." It was clear that Wei Tiancang's attitude towards Mu Yang was even better than towards Wei Tianxiong and the others.

"I see."

Mu Yang smiled and said, "Xuan'er, Uncle Yang didn't prepare this time, but I'll definitely make it up to you next time."

"Thank you, Uncle Yang, don't be too stingy." Wei Lingxuan said.

"Don't talk nonsense." Wei Tianxiong scolded.

"Ha ha, I like Xuan'er's straightforward personality." Mu Yang laughed.

"Uncle Yang has better taste than my father." Wei Lingxuan stuck out her tongue at Wei Tianxiong, making everyone laugh.

"Mu Yang, why did you bring him here?" Wei Zikun was the first to notice Li Tianming.

He thought he must have seen wrong, as the Wei residence was a private place, and ordinary Tianfu disciples couldn't enter.

At least, Mu Yang had never brought Lin Xiaoting in.

Wei Guohao was also puzzled. The Wei residence was hidden deep in Tianfu. Could the person Mu Yang brought be the same Li Tianming who had just embarrassed himself?

"Who is this young man?" Wei Tianxiong asked.

Wei Zikun's words made everyone pay attention to Li Tianming.

So, the whole Wei family was a bit puzzled. Mu Yang must know the taboos of the Wei family.

"Brother, he is this year's top disciple, Li Tianming." Wei Zikun said.

When Wei Zikun said this name, the Wei family was even more puzzled.

Bringing such an insignificant young man to the Wei family was indeed inappropriate.

As everyone looked at Li Tianming with confusion, Li Tianming's gaze met Wei Tiancang's.

The old man was also looking at him, his eyes very calm.

From his eyes, Li Tianming saw an ocean.

He felt that this golden ocean was getting closer, and the pressure was gradually increasing, making him feel like he was in the deep sea, suffocated by the immense pressure.

He noticed that Wei Tiancang's eyes were changing.

Li Tianming had no choice but to hold on and meet Wei Tiancang's gaze.

He knew that in the future, he might need to compete with this "grandfather" to save his mother's life, and he absolutely could not lose!

"Master, I had a small matter to discuss with you, but today is Xuan'er's birthday, so it's not a good time."

"I'll come back in a few days and bring Xuan'er a gift." Mu Yang reacted quickly.

"What do you want to say?" Wei Tiancang looked at him and then closed his eyes.

When he closed his eyes, it was as if a storm was brewing.

At least, Li Tianming felt that he had been seen through by this old man from the beginning.

It was a chilling feeling.

"Should I come back another day?"

"No, say it now." Wei Tiancang's mood had changed, and the good atmosphere was completely gone. The Wei family's mood also became a bit gloomy.

"Then, can we go to the Tianyun Hall..."

"Say it here, speak clearly, don't waste time." Wei Tiancang closed his eyes, his tone very calm.

Mu Yang was a bit frustrated.

He didn't expect to run into Wei Lingxuan's birthday today, and for Wei Tiancang to come out from the Tianyun Hall.

He originally wanted to talk to Wei Tiancang privately, but now the whole Wei family was there. Although they couldn't make decisions, their presence would definitely influence Wei Tiancang's decision.

"Deputy Lord, I'll speak."

Suddenly finding himself in such a passive situation, Li Tianming didn't want to put Mu Yang in a difficult position.

There were some things he wanted to take on himself, to face himself.

He was a brave person and didn't think there was anything wrong with coming to seek help from his grandfather with his mother.

Even if it wasn't his grandfather, just a relative, he didn't think it was shameful to come here for help.

He looked straight at Wei Tiancang and said solemnly, "I am Li Tianming. Today, I asked Deputy Lord to bring me to the Wei residence to beg the Lord to save my mother."

When he said this, people were even more puzzled.

After all, Wei Tiancang was not a doctor, how could he save someone?

Moreover, a stranger.

"What is your mother's name?"

Wei Tiancang's hoarse voice came, a sound that was hard to hear, like wood rubbing together.

"Wei Jing."
