All Heavens: Sharing Talents with Countless Mes
Chapter 856 Jiang Haisheng, Xiao Tingting's 'Teacher's Wives'...
The group arrived at a secluded courtyard, where Chu Yang saw an old man.
The old man looked to be around fifty years old, with some black hair at his temples, but he was obviously much older.
This is a manifestation of rejuvenation. The old man was not a practitioner, but someone used precious medicine to nourish his body.
Upon seeing people enter the courtyard, the elderly man who had been busy in the vegetable garden quickly came over and politely asked, "Are you here to see Xiaotingting?"
The old man from the Jiang family nodded and said, "Haisheng, isn't Xiaotingting here?"
This old man is Jiang Tingting's grandfather, Jiang Haisheng. Although he looks like an old man, he is not actually a high-ranking member of the Jiang family.
If you look closely, he's only twice as tall as the younger generation of the Jiang family.
The old man from the Jiang family was, in terms of seniority, Jiang Haisheng's uncle, but because of Jiang Tingting, he was quite polite to Jiang Haisheng.
Jiang Haisheng shook his head and explained, "She went to Uncle Yi's place. She just left yesterday and hasn't returned yet."
Uncle Yi refers to Jiang Yi, the ninth of the thirteen major bandits in the Northern Regions, and also Jiang Haisheng's uncle.
"Senior Jiang Yi is here too?" Chu Yang raised an eyebrow slightly.
Logically speaking, with Jiang Yi here, there's no reason for him to let Xiao Tingting suffer any injustice!
Jiang Tingting isn't the type to keep everything bottled up inside; her childhood experiences haven't hindered her cheerful personality.
"Who are these people...?" Jiang Haisheng asked tentatively, seeing that Chu Yang and the other two looked unfamiliar yet had an extraordinary air about them.
His eyes held a hint of wariness and tension, fearing that his granddaughter might have offended some important figure outside.
The elder of the Jiang family pointed at Chu Yang and said with a smile, "Haisheng, this is Chu Shaodi, Tingting's master."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Haisheng's expression changed, and he quickly bowed and said, "This old man's eyes are failing, and I have neglected our honored guest."
Chu Yang reached out to help him up, shook his head and chuckled, "Uncle, there's no need for that. Although I am Tingting's master, I am also your junior."
After saying that, he turned to look at the old man from the Jiang family, his expression turning cold once again. "Please trouble yourself to call Tingting over."
"If I don't see him within half an hour, I'll go to Senior Jiang Ren to ask him for him!"
The old man from the Jiang family gave a wry smile, nodded quickly, and then left the courtyard.
He didn't want to get involved in the factional infighting involved, but now he has no choice.
If a young man had said those words, he would have scoffed at them. How could anyone just see the Holy Master of the Jiang family?
But Chu Yang is different!
This is a figure who can stand on equal footing with the entire Jiang family; even the Holy Lord would probably have to dwarf him...
It is said that when Chu Yang underwent his tribulation, he displayed strength comparable to that of a Dao-Slaying King!
It's quite frightening that a young boy could overshadow the current emperor.
Hearing that Chu Yang's tone was a bit off, Jiang Haisheng became nervous and hurriedly asked, "Brother Chu, has something happened to Tingting?"
Chu Yang smiled at the old man and said, "Don't worry! With me here, Tingting will be fine."
Although he heard him say that, Jiang Haisheng did not have an accurate concept of the cultivation world. Everyone in it was like a god, so how could he tell who was more powerful?
He only knew that Chu Yang was a big shot, and the Jiang family members mostly spoke of him with awe and fear. However, they had no accurate idea of his specific status or how powerful he was.
A moment later, instead of Jiang Tingting, the little nun in white gracefully walked into the courtyard.
Her gaze lingered on An Miaoyi for a moment, slightly surprised but not unexpected.
After all, it was at the Miaoyu Nunnery that the Emperor waited for Chu Yang and made a promise to entrust himself to him.
After that night, all sorts of rumors and gossip began to circulate in the holy city.
In Xia Yilin's opinion, those were not rumors at all; Chu Yang must have had something happen between him and An Miaoyi.
Now that everyone has been abducted, her earlier assumptions were clearly correct.
"Brother Chu, have you seen my royal brother in the Holy City?"
The little nun in white couldn't wait to ask questions as soon as they met.
Chu Yang shook his head and said, "He has already returned to Zhongzhou, but I think it won't be long before he comes back to Donghuang."
The little nun in white blinked, not understanding what Chu Yang meant by that, but she didn't ask any more questions.
She was acquainted with Jiang Haisheng, obviously because of Jiang Tingting, and had a lot of contact with him at the Jiang family home.
Seeing Jiang Haisheng pacing anxiously, she quickly pulled the old man aside and comforted him.
It seemed that Xia Yilin was unaware of the hidden story, so Chu Yang simply didn't ask.
After he underwent his first tribulation at the demon palace, Yan Ruyu communicated with him through divine sense, saying that she wanted to return to Yunze Prefecture.
It was around that time that Chu Yang asked her to tell the little nun in white to go to the Jiang family and find Jiang Tingting.
The demon race is in a bad situation in the Eastern Wilderness. Although those who have grudges against Chu Yang or other forces dare not cause trouble for the demon race anymore, the demon race still has its own enemies.
Even if Chu Yang wanted to help with this, Yan Ruyu and the other powerful figures wouldn't agree.
The feud between humans and demons has been brewing for a long time. As the son-in-law of a demon, Chu Yang was obliged to help in some important matters.
But if they go to him for support whenever they encounter trouble, even if the major powers dare not speak out openly, they will definitely cause some rumors in the East.
Such things as the demon race having completely declined, to the point that they need a human to maintain their status...
So if they really encounter big trouble, the demon race will definitely not try to handle it alone, and will naturally seek Chu Yang's help.
There's no need to contend with various forces on a regular basis.
Chu Yang's presence was more like a deterrent, much like the hidden strength of the major holy lands and aristocratic families that outsiders could not see, such as the old monster who was about to pass away.
This is why, although various forces are wary of Chu Yang, when they have grudges against those who are close to him, they still rely on their own abilities.
At most, they won't cross the line. For example, in clashes between the younger generation, the older generation won't intervene.
For example, what happened in Yunze Prefecture will not happen again.
In the eyes of all the major powers, no matter how strong Chu Yang is, he cannot dominate the world unless he truly reaches the level of a Great Emperor, or merges his two incarnations into one.
Otherwise, if pushed too far, one side might just unleash some intimidating hidden strengths.
Even a dead tiger retains its might; how could those ancient emperors not have left behind some kind of backup plan?
If it really comes to a point of no return, all those holy land families that have produced emperors will bring out their imperial foundations. Even if Chu Yang were to descend from his past life, he would still be in deep trouble.
After all, none of the forces that had previously clashed with Chu Yang possessed the foundation of an Emperor.
The strongest of them all, the Yao Guang Holy Land, only possessed one imperial weapon, but had no trace of the Great Emperor's legacy. To make matters worse, the imperial weapon was taken away by someone else.
In fact, Chu Yang was aware of what these people were thinking, but he simply let it go and ignored it.
Flowers that grow in an ivory tower cannot withstand wind and rain.
He can't just blindly protect the people around him; what's the difference between that and raising a bunch of overgrown babies?
The path to the strong is destined to be littered with corpses; without struggle and battle, how can one climb to the top?
It was precisely because there was too much trouble on the demon race's side that Chu Yang did not allow Xia Yilin and Yan Ruyu to return to Yunze Prefecture.
After all, he had promised to take care of the little nun in white. Even if the latter didn't face any major threats, getting involved in various incidents was still a problem.
After calming Jiang Haisheng down, the little nun in white walked up to Chu Yang, looking quite charming. She opened her fair palm and smiled sweetly, saying:
"Brother Chu! You really didn't lie to me! It's even closer to me than before!"
"And it actually found its own way here!"
A divine silkworm was fast asleep in the palm of her fair hand.
Chu Yang smiled. Before he went into seclusion, he had infused the divine silkworm with a large amount of essence, causing it to fall into a deep sleep and begin its transformation.
At the same time, a restriction was left behind, allowing Qin Yao to take the divine silkworm away and keep a close eye on its condition.
Once she discovers that Shen Can is showing signs of completing his transformation, Qin Yao can trigger the restriction herself without Chu Yang's presence, and then use the Five Demon Diagrams method to refine the Demon Summoning Agent.
By refining the divine silkworm into the demonic guide and then releasing the restriction, one can take the life of the divine silkworm in a way similar to a cicada shedding its shell, without harming its essence.
It is said that taking its life is actually to refine it into a demonic guide during the brief period when the old body is not yet dead, while the divine silkworm is undergoing its metamorphosis.
The newly formed body of the divine silkworm will not be greatly affected.
At most, it just failed to consume its own remains and became somewhat deficient.
That's probably why the little guy is sleeping so soundly right now.
As for why the silkworm took the initiative to find the little nun in white and became close and obedient to her?
This was actually the effect of the double-handed approach. Chu Yang distorted the shallow understanding of the Divine Silkworm, influencing its subconscious to come to the Jiang family and feel that Xia Yilin was very kind to it.
Anyway, this little guy loses his memory every time he transforms, so consider it a cute pet trial card for the little nun in white.
More than an hour later, a graceful figure finally arrived, stepping through the air.
Seeing that his granddaughter was alright, Jiang Haisheng finally felt relieved, and the wrinkles at the corners of his eyes even became a little moist from excessive worry.
When Jiang Tingting saw Chu Yang, a bright smile lit up her face, and she quickly ran forward to greet him, saying:
"Disciple pays homage to Master!"
They were so adorable, imitating the proper manners of adults.
A smile appeared on Jiang Haisheng's old face as he said warmly, "Young Master Chu, ladies, if you don't mind, please stay for a simple meal!"
"I'll go start a fire right now!"
Chu Yang did not refuse the old man's kindness. He nodded and then pulled Jiang Tingting to sit down on the ground next to the vegetable garden.
As a result, the three fairy-like figures didn't care about their image at all and sat down next to them.
The little nun in white is simple-minded and unconcerned with trivial matters.
Zixia, on the other hand, placed herself in a very proper position. Since she had taken on the role of a maid, and since the "master" was sitting on the ground, she should naturally sit beside him and serve him.
An Miaoyi sat down. It wasn't directly related to Chu Yang, but because she was now practically Jiang Tingting's half-teacher's wife, she wanted to get closer to the little girl.
So after sitting down, An Miaoyi immediately pulled Xiao Tingting into her arms.
Xiaotingting, you were chattering away at first, talking about what you've seen and heard over the past six months.
But later, as if he had thought of something, he looked at An Miaoyi with red eyes and a somewhat gloomy expression.
This startled Fairy An, leaving her momentarily at a loss for what to do.
"Tingting, why are you crying all of a sudden?"
"Did your master's wife upset you?"
In her panic, An Miaoyi blurted out what was on her mind, and her face flushed slightly.
Although she and Chu Yang had broken the ice, they were not officially recognized as a couple, so her status as a teacher's wife was somewhat untenable.
However, seeing that Chu Yang and the two women did not show any unusual expression, she breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Jiang Tingting suddenly widened her eyes, looking at An Miaoyi and then at Chu Yang, "Master... is Sister An really my master's wife?"
Chu Yang's expression turned strange; something about this generational hierarchy just didn't seem right!
However, he still nodded. Xiao Tingting tilted her head and thought for a long time, as if she was wondering why she had more than one master's wife.
Finally, she stopped thinking about it, stood up abruptly, and like a little adult, gently patted An Miaoyi's back, comforting her:
"Don't worry, Madam, Tingting is just thinking about her mother..."
An Miaoyi breathed a sigh of relief. Looking at Tingting's appearance, she felt both amused and sorry for her.
On her way to the Jiang family home, she had asked Chu Yang about Jiang Tingting's situation, so she knew that Tingting's parents had been murdered a long time ago.
An Miaoyi gently patted the little girl's head and said softly, "From now on, treat your master's wife as your mother."
"Is it okay?" The little girl blinked and looked at Chu Yang.
She respected Chu Yang very much and subconsciously sought his permission for everything.
Chu Yang nodded and smiled, "A teacher for a day is a father for life. Since I am your master, I am like a father to you."
“Your parents passed away when you were young, so I am your father. You can also regard your teacher’s wife as your mother.”
A look of confusion flashed in the little girl's eyes. After hesitating for a long time, she asked weakly, "Then... doesn't Tingting have many mothers?"
My mother passed away, and I was left to rely on my grandfather. Now I suddenly have several mothers. Isn't that a bit too much?
"Pfft..." The little nun in white couldn't hold back and burst out laughing.
Chu Yang tapped her on the head, then noticed that Zixia was also trying not to laugh. He raised an eyebrow and said, "What? You want to be Tingting's mother too?"
Zixia's smile froze instantly.
Jiang Haisheng, who was busy inside, looked at the group joking around and heard their earlier conversation, and a relieved smile appeared on his face.
The old man used to run a shop and was extremely quick and efficient, so he quickly prepared a table full of dishes.
Chu Yang noticed that some of the dishes were made with the meat of rare and exotic beasts, clearly gifts from the Jiang family, who were close to their lineage, to help him recover. However, Jiang Haisheng used them to entertain the others.
Although Jiang Tingting holds a position in the Jiang family like a little princess, as the saying goes, the internal struggles within the Jiang family are far too complex.
Therefore, unless she grows up and truly gains a certain degree of voice and autonomy, it will be difficult for her to give her grandfather much care.
The spiritual fruits and nectars she consumed daily were too much for Jiang Haisheng, a man with an ordinary constitution, to enjoy.
The meal ended in a pleasant atmosphere. Although the little nun in white was shy, she became quite lively after getting to know people.
An Miaoyi also behaved with gentle grace and poise, showing no signs of being a woman from a place of romance and pleasure.
Zixia busied herself, pouring wine and serving food, which earned her praise from the old man for her virtuousness.
Seeing that Xiaotingting's smile never faded, Jiang Haisheng was also happy.
After the meal, Chu Yang revealed his purpose. Hearing that he was going to take Xiao Tingting away, Jiang Haisheng was somewhat reluctant, but also very relieved.
The old man had lived to such an old age and had seen too much of the wickedness of people's hearts; he could see that Chu Yang treated Jiang Tingting extremely well.
Moreover, even putting all that aside, he had heard his granddaughter and the Jiang family mention that it was Chu Yang, his master, who averted the tragedy of his granddaughter's early death.
