Leisurely mountain village

The next day, after breakfast, Cao Wushuang was able to get out of bed and walk around. Ye Huan watched the two old brothers hugging and crying, and turned to Cao Zhi, saying, "Is Master Master always like this?"

"How could that be? Grandpa is usually very serious. He rarely smiles. If my dad, second uncle, or third uncle do something wrong, you see that belt? They'll swing it around and whip you. It's terrible," Cao Zhi said with lingering fear.

"You're so young, yet you're already at the late stage of the Profound Realm?" Ye Huan asked.

"You can tell my cultivation level?" Cao Zhi was completely stumped. Only if your cultivation level is one whole level higher than someone else's can you easily tell their cultivation level. If the other person has a technique like the Concealing Breath Technique, you wouldn't be able to tell even if their cultivation level is five levels higher.

"Huh? Isn't it enough to just have eyes?" Ye Huan asked in surprise. Was there really any other trick to it? Little did he know, he was a cultivator, and what secrets could ancient martial arts have in his eyes? It really was enough to just have eyes.

"Wow, you're not at the late Earth-level, are you?" Cao Zhi said incredulously. "Then what level is my grandfather at?"

"Late stage of Grandmaster, is that difficult? My grandfather was the same." Ye Huan turned his head and said.

"Holy crap..." Cao Zhi was truly stumped this time.

"Xiao Huan, come and greet your grandmaster." Ye Wuju called out, "This is my grandson, Ye Huan."

"Not bad, quite handsome." Cao Wushuang nodded. He has both good looks and a good demeanor; he's a good candidate for martial arts training.

"Master Shi," Ye Huan greeted.

“Yes, I haven’t seen your grandfather for many years. You should spend more time with Xiao Zhi.” Cao Wushuang nodded.

"Grandpa, you're planning to stay here for a few days. I'm thinking of moving out; it's too inconvenient to get in and out of here," Ye Huan said. He had gotten up that morning intending to take a stroll, but was forced back by someone pointing a gun at him.

"Alright, I'll wait until your grandpa is better, give him a good beating, and then we'll go back," Ye Wuju said.

Now, neither Ye Huan nor Cao Zhi knew how to do it, and even Cao Wushuang couldn't figure it out.

"No, junior brother, why did you beat me up?" Cao Wushuang shouted.

“You didn’t die on the battlefield, and all these years you haven’t sent me a letter? If I don’t beat you up, my mind won’t be clear, and it won’t be good for my state of mind,” Ye Wuju said.

"What the hell, just for this?" Cao Wushuang was speechless. Although he was a skilled fighter and a late-stage Grandmaster, he had never beaten his junior brother since childhood, even if his junior brother was one or two minor realms lower than him. He always lost.

"Otherwise what? You do the math yourself. How many years has it been? I won't leave until I give you a good beating," Ye Wuju laughed.

"Ouch, junior brother, I feel a little uncomfortable here. Is it because your treatment wasn't thorough enough? I need to recuperate." Cao Wushuang suddenly said, startling Cao Zhi. And that was it?

"Don't you know my medical skills? How about I treat you again?" Ye Wuju reached out his hand, but Cao Wushuang quickly withdrew her arm.

"I saw you seal your heart meridian before. Your acupressure technique isn't very good, is it? Did you not learn it properly?"

“Back then, I went to fight with my master. Later, I encountered the army and joined it. I didn’t quite understand the second half of what my master told me,” Cao Wushuang said.

"It's fortunate that you learned a little bit, otherwise you would have been dead before I even arrived. How did you end up fighting with the Mito Ittō-ryū? The Mito family is no good."

"I am now in charge of the Overseas Supervision Department of the Ministry of State Security." Cao Wushuang said only one sentence, and Ye Wuju understood. He didn't ask any more questions, because asking any more would be considered a secret.

"I think Xiao Huan is doing quite well. Why don't you come work for me? At least you can have a good future."

"I don't want to." Ye Huan shook his head directly. He was joking. He could just stay at home, eat, drink, play, and have fun. He could cultivate immortality when he had free time and practice martial arts when he didn't. Wasn't that great?

“I have a formal position and a military rank. With me here, what are you afraid of?” Cao Wushuang said.

"Forget about him, he's lazy and lazy. I'm getting old too. He finally quit his job to come back and be with me. As for his future, let's just forget about it. We haven't thought about those things." Ye Wuji also refused.

He didn't want his only grandson to go to the battlefield; he'd rather go himself than let his grandson go.

Cao Wushuang knew his junior brother's personality and also knew that the things that happened between their master and him had made his junior brother feel bad, so when he heard him say that, he didn't say anything more.

"Xiao Zhi, after you eat, take Xiao Huan out to stay. It's quite strict here, and it's not suitable for young people," Cao Wushuang said.

"Okay grandpa."

After finishing his meal, Ye Huan left with Cao Zhi. Even leaving required a check, and Ye Huan shook his head and smiled wryly. This Master Shi is doing quite well.

"Is Master Shi a general?" Ye Huan asked in the car.

"Yes, Major General, you've basically retired now, it's more like a re-employment. I estimate that when you truly retire, you'll be promoted and enjoy the same benefits." Cao Zhi nodded. "Where will you be staying?"

"Let's find a nice place, a five-star hotel." Now that Ye Huan has money, she's no longer going to mistreat herself.

"Are you very rich?" Cao Zhi nodded, then asked.

"It's alright. After coming back, I went to the mountains and got a hundred-year-old wild ginseng, and then I sold a jade stone. Now I'm basically not short of money." Ye Huan didn't hide anything and explained.

"Wow, your luck is amazing. Do you know how much effort my grandfather went through to find a ginseng that was over a hundred years old? In the end, he only bought one that was over 80 years old, not even a hundred years old yet," Cao Zhi complained.

"Just lucky." Ye Huan smiled. He wouldn't mention the one who was 800 years old, for fear of scaring him.

"We're here. It's safer here. Would you like me to show you around?" Cao Zhi drove the car to a five-star hotel and stopped.

"No need, wouldn't you feel uncomfortable if two grown men went shopping together?" Ye Huan laughed.

"Indeed, alright then, I won't keep you company. Call me if you need anything, the car is yours."

"No, I'll just take a taxi. You go ahead and do your thing. I'm fine," Ye Huan said with a smile. Cao Zhi nodded and drove away.

Ye Huan went in and first booked a three-night double room. Then he went to check out the room, which was quite nice; it was indeed a five-star hotel.

Apart from a bag for clothes, everything else was in his personal space. He closed the door, lay on the bed, took out his phone, and called home to let them know he was safe.

"Your grandfather's senior brother? I've only heard of him, never met him," Ye Dafa asked.

"Hmm, Cao Wushuang seems to be a big shot. This is the first time I've met him," Ye Huan nodded, without going into details.

"Hey, who cares who he is? He's none of our business. If I weren't dying and thinking of your grandfather, we wouldn't have crossed paths at all," Ye Dafa said.

Ye Huan smiled and gave a thumbs up. Indeed, no matter how awesome others are, that's their business. Only when you are awesome is it your own business.

"The greenhouse builders are here, so I'll just do it this way?" Ye Dafa said, getting down to business.

"Okay, you know more about these things than I do, you handle it."

"I paid for Bai Jie's family's too, and I showed her the bill."
