Chapter 36 A new beginning

"Yan Fei, Yue Shen, who of you wants to marry him?"

Tianxuan knew that Bei Mingzi, the second master who had not yet performed the apprenticeship ceremony, was probably planning to take him back to the Tianzong Mountain Gate and teach him carefully. Thinking of the few years he had spent in Xianyang, he felt a little reluctant and opened his mouth to speak. At this time, Donghuang Taiyi's voice sounded.

"Your Excellency Donghuang!"

When Yan Fei and Yue Shen sisters heard Dong Huang Tai Yi's words, their faces changed and they shouted out in unison.

The guests in Bashu Building had not yet dispersed. When Donghuang Taiyi said this, everyone could not help but look at the peerless, dignified, beautiful, noble and holy Yan Fei and Yue Shen, and then look at Tian Xuan, who was handsome but no more than ten years old. It is no exaggeration to say that Yan Fei and Yue Shen were worthy of being Tian Xuan's mother.

Indeed, in the past eight hundred years, old men and young wives, old wives and young husbands, and even blood relatives who violated ethics were common. For example, the hegemon of the generation: Duke Huan of Qi, Jiang Xiaobai, had unclear relationships with nine women in the palace. However, the fact that Yan Fei and Yue Shen, one of the women who were famous for being cold and icy and who were qualified to be Tian Xuan's mother, were betrothed to Tian Xuan still surprised the people present.

"Hehehe."

Donghuang Taiyi did not expect Yan Fei and Yue Shen to answer him now. As the atmosphere gradually became weird, the tall and straight figure of the highest leader of the Yin-Yang family disappeared like a dream bubble, leaving only a meaningful laugh echoing in the Bashu Tower.

"Fellow Daoist Bei Mingzi, in three years, you might as well ask your disciple to come to the Yin Yang family. By then, I will choose his fiancée!"

call out!
Yan Fei and Yue Shen, who usually kill without blinking an eye, felt very uncomfortable under the gaze of a group of people who looked at them as if they were old grass gnawing on young cows. As soon as Donghuang Taiyi left, the two women hurriedly used their superb Qinggong skills and left Bashu Tower like a flying swan. After a few rises and falls, they disappeared from Tianxuan's sight.

"Good disciple, you must marry me a woman who is good enough from the Yin-Yang family."

Bei Mingzi and Dong Huang Taiyi have known each other for many years. Although they don't have a deep hatred, their relationship has always been bad. Today, he succeeded in making Dong Huang Taiyi suffer a small loss. Bei Mingzi felt as if he had won a great victory and was extremely happy. His eyes fixed on Tian Xuan, wanting Tian Xuan to continue to fight for his face.

"Master, do you know what you are talking about with a child who is less than ten years old?"

It is true that the soul of an adult man resides in Tianxuan's tender body. However, he has grown up from a baby in this life. Even if he has any ideas, he does not have the conditions to realize them at present. Hearing Bei Mingzi's words, Tianxuan's head was full of black lines, and he said with hidden anger.

"Forehead?"

Because of Tianxuan's little adult behavior, Bei Mingzi ignored this point. He was counterattacked by Tianxuan and looked embarrassed. Seeing this, Chisongzi and Xiaoyaozi couldn't help laughing and almost laughed out loud.

"I want to go home." Tian Xuan said crisply, "Grandpa must be worried if you haven't returned yet so late. Besides, even if I want to leave here to learn skills, I have to tell Grandpa."

…………

"Tianxuan, you should learn from Senior Beimingzi."

Tianxuan wants to go home to say goodbye to his grandfather, and Bei Mingzi and his party also need to say goodbye to Tianxuan's elders in person.

When Bei Mingzi, Chi Songzi, Xiao Yaozi, Tian Xuan and others returned to Lao Cangtou's ordinary house, the shopkeeper Li of Bashu Tower, who was Lao Cangtou's comrade-in-arms, had already come to his house in person and told Lao Cangtou everything.

The old man brought out a chair and waited in the yard early. In the last rays of the setting sun, the old man's eyes fell on Tianxuan. What a complicated look it was: joy, pain, pride and other emotions mixed together. People are not plants and trees, so who can be heartless? Tianxuan, as the grandson of the old man, has lived with the old man for so long, how could they not have feelings for each other.

Facing the old man's gaze, Tian Xuan knew that he already knew everything. His lips moved, but he didn't know what to say. Suddenly, the old man took the initiative to speak, admonishing him.

"Grandpa, I will come back to see you!"

Faced with the warmth coming from the old man, Tianxuan's eyes were filled with tears and he choked with sobs.

"My old bones won't last much longer." The old man said nonchalantly, "By the time you come back, I'll probably be in the coffin. When you come back, remember to burn some incense for me!"

"grandfather!"

Hearing the unlucky words from the old man, Tianxuan could no longer control himself and threw himself into the arms of the old man, hugging him tightly, with a tear the size of a soybean rolling down his eyes. Being thrown into the arms of Tianxuan, the old man was startled at first, then slowly raised his hand and stroked Tianxuan's little head.

A pair of grandparents and grandchildren who are not related by blood snuggled together tightly, with tender affection brewing in their hearts.

After a while, the old man stretched out his hand to lift Tianxuan up from his arms. With his wrinkled hands, he carefully wiped away the tears on Tianxuan's cheeks and looked at Bei Mingzi and his group standing at the gate of the courtyard.

"Senior Bei Mingzi, and the other two Taoist priests, I, with my old bones, will hand over my grandson to you. Please teach him well and help him become a useful person!"

"Of course." Bei Mingzi nodded heavily, "Tianxuan is a good material and a beautiful jade. If I can't teach him to become a good person, it's better for me to end my life early to avoid misleading other students."

"That's good." After getting Bei Mingzi's affirmative response, the old man showed a smile that was rarely seen in a century. Although the smile was ugly, it was completely a true expression of his true feelings.

……

For the next three days, Tianxuan didn't go anywhere. He was like a naughty little monkey who had finally had enough of playing outside and stayed at home every day.

At dawn, the sleepy children climbed out of their beds, cleaned the yard and prepared breakfast for the old man. After breakfast, Tianxuan faced the rising sun, picked up the knife prepared by the old man, and practiced the knife skills taught by the old man - the Ten Styles of Bloody Battle. After practicing, Tianxuan accompanied the old man to bask in the sun in the yard while listening to the old man telling him about his deeds when he was young. After dinner, the pots and pans were washed, and Tianxuan also washed the clothes, bedding and other items.

Within three days, Tianxuan put everything aside and just wanted to be a good grandson. He didn't care about anything else.

However, this period of harmony and happiness between grandparents and grandchildren was too short after all.

Early in the morning of the fourth day, Tian Xuanfu got up from the bed and drew clean water from the well to wash. Bei Mingzi, Chi Songzi and Xiao Yaozi had already arrived at the gate of the courtyard.

"Tianxuan, take this knife with you!"

Looking at Bei Mingzi and the other three who appeared at the gate, Tian Xuan's expression changed, and a feeling of reluctance swept through his heart. The voice of the old man came from the room behind him. Along with the words, the old man dragged his crippled right leg and limped out, holding the precious sword that Tian Xuan had wiped clean and was shining with a cold light in his hand.
