Three big shots are proposing to me at the same time? Are you crazy?

Seeing Jiang Huan's anxious expression, Uncle Kang smiled. "Huanhuan, the old master—"

"Tang Fei said Huanhuan is back, is that right?"

An excited and cheerful voice interrupted Kang Bo's words.

Jiang Huan stiffened, her neck mechanically turning towards the doorway.

The moment she saw who entered, her eyes filled with tears. She wanted to say something, but found herself unable to speak. Tears streamed down her face, and when she finally managed to open her mouth, she choked back sobs, "Grandpa...Grandpa..."

Since the start of the Haiyun City Medical Exchange Conference, Grandpa said he was going out, and then there was no news of him. No matter how she tried to contact him, she couldn't get in touch. Many people were mobilized to search, but they still couldn't find Grandpa's whereabouts.

After that, she always used the idea that "no news is good news" to numb herself, turning her attention to other things and not thinking so much about her grandfather.

But this separation lasted for more than a year, and her longing for her grandfather grew stronger and stronger. The number of days they were apart included some days she spent in the secret realm and the year she spent outside.

If she didn't have so much to do, she would have even considered going to find her grandfather first, regardless of everything else...

When Jiang Huan came to her senses, she had already rushed into Old Jiang's arms, hugging him tightly and crying loudly.

that's nice!

Grandpa is perfectly fine and he's back safe and sound. That's great!

Grandpa Jiang reached out and gently patted Jiang Huan's back, "Don't cry, Grandpa's back."

"Hmm..." Jiang Huan nodded, let go of his hand, wiped the tears from her face, and reached out to pull Grandpa Jiang to sit down on the sofa. "Grandpa, tell me where you've been for the past year or so? I've been looking for you for so long and I'm worried something has happened to you..."

Old Jiang smiled and said, "Don't worry, Grandpa has had no problems at all these years. In fact, I've had some good fortune and have now raised my cultivation to the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage. I'm just one step away from breaking through!"

After he finished speaking, he looked at Uncle Kang and said, "Wang Kang, you can sit down too. You don't have to stand all the time."

"Yes, sir."

Uncle Kang sat down and listened quietly to the conversation between the grandfather and grandson beside him, while also pouring tea for them.

Upon seeing this, Jiang Huan immediately took out the spirit pool water from her Red Lotus Ring and placed it in front of Uncle Kang. "Uncle Kang, this is spirit pool water, which can improve your cultivation. Your spiritual energy is a bit unstable right now. Please take some pills first, and once your energy has calmed down, you can use the spirit pool water to cultivate."

After she finished speaking, she took out the pills again.

Seeing this, Uncle Kang was flattered and overwhelmed. "Huanhuan, this is too precious, I can't take it. You should keep it—"

“No.” Jiang Huan shook her head. “I have plenty of these. Uncle Kang, please take them. I’ll give you more when you need something else.”

Combe: "..."

There are so many... such priceless cultivation items, the Fifth Miss actually has so many!

As expected of the Fifth Miss!

Kang Bo picked up the two items from the table, stood up, and said, "Grandpa, I won't disturb you and Huanhuan from catching up. Huanhuan gave me such good things, and I want to go and cultivate to consolidate my aura."

“Go!” Old Jiang nodded.

After Uncle Kang left, only Old Jiang and Jiang Huan remained in the living room.

Jiang Huan raised her hand, and a barrier appeared around the two of them.

"Huanhuan, what is this?"

"Just in case our next conversation gets overheard."

"That's true, we should be careful." Old Jiang nodded, then, thinking of what she had just taken out, he asked in confusion, "Huanhuan, what is your strength now?"

Jiang Huan smirked, "Grandpa, let me see what kind of strength I have?"

Under the current rules, only those who are stronger than their opponents, even by a tiny bit, can see what level their opponents are at.

But now, no matter how hard Old Jiang tries to see, he can't see his granddaughter's level of attainment.

That would prove that his granddaughter was at the Nascent Soul stage, above the Golden Core stage.

"Huanhuan, have you been slacking off this year? Grandpa is already at the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, why are you still in the Nascent Soul stage?" Old Jiang stared at Jiang Huan's face, his serious expression making him look stern.

"Huh?" Jiang Huan was taken aback. "Grandpa, did he realize I'm a Nascent Soul cultivator?"

"I didn't see it, I was just guessing." Old Jiang's expression changed in an instant.

Jiang Huan chuckled, "Grandpa, you can't tell my cultivation level because I am indeed above the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage, but is the only realm above the Great Perfection of the Golden Core stage the Nascent Soul stage?"

Grandpa, you underestimated your granddaughter!

Faced with her increasingly radiant smile, Old Jiang's expression changed rapidly. "What is that?"

Could it be that... his precious granddaughter is going to become the number one person in Kyushu among her generation?

"Transformation into a Nascent Soul." Jiang Huan remained calm and composed, her expression indifferent, as if she were simply recounting what she had for dinner.

"Oh, Nascent Soul... Wait! Nascent Soul? Is it the Nascent Soul stage?" Old Jiang was dumbfounded, his hands trembling so much that he developed Parkinson's disease.

Jiang Huan reached out and grasped Elder Jiang's trembling hand, and laughed, "Yes, he is a Nascent Soul cultivator, but he is currently only in the early stage of Nascent Soul."

"That's good, that's good... everything is possible now..." Old Jiang burst into tears instantly.

Seeing her grandfather crying like this, Jiang Huan panicked, "Grandpa, please don't cry..."

"Huanhuan, there's something Grandpa wasn't planning to tell you, but now that you've actually reached the Nascent Soul stage, Grandpa thinks I should tell you." Old Jiang wiped away a tear.

Jiang Huan nodded, "Whatever it is, Grandpa, please tell me."

"Didn't you ask me where I've been for the past year? Didn't you want to know why I suddenly left to take care of some business?"

"So where did you go? And why did you suddenly leave in the first place?"

"Because Grandpa asked someone to investigate and found out that your father, mother, brother, and uncle were still in this world afterward, and their souls were imprisoned by forbidden magic. The purpose was to prevent them from being reincarnated forever, so that our Jiang family would disappear forever..."

Old Jiang spoke with a sob in his voice, sniffling as he spoke, just like a wronged child.

Jiang Huan listened attentively from the side.

It was at this time that she learned what kind of torment her grandfather had endured for more than a year when he chose to search for the answer alone.

After leaving Haiyun City, Grandpa went to places where the souls of his family members who had died unjustly might appear. But he couldn't find any of them. Several times he wanted to give up, but in the end he thought about it and persevered.

The reason we can't get in touch is that there's no signal in the places Grandpa goes, so it's practically a matter of life and death.

Just three months ago, Grandpa successfully broke through to the late stage of the Golden Core realm and also successfully found the real Soul-Locking Pillar.

As the name suggests, the Soul-Locking Pillar is a pillar that can lock up the soul. It is covered with powerful runes and forbidden spells. If you are not strong enough, you simply cannot break the chains that bind the soul.

Moreover, the Soul-Locking Pillar was guarded by two people with Nascent Soul cultivation.

Grandpa knew that the souls of his family members were right in front of him, but he was helpless because he was not strong enough. Even if he tried his best, he could not destroy the Soul-Locking Pillar.

After waiting for a long time, Grandpa realized there was no hope, so he had no choice but to leave temporarily.
