The Heavenly Dragon's Beginning in the Journey Through the Heavens

This stone platform, located in the center of the cave, exudes an ancient and mysterious aura.

On the stone platform, there was only an old man who looked withered and emaciated.

The old man sat there quietly, like a dried corpse, exuding an aura of decay.

His body was extremely thin, and his skin was wrinkled, as if he had lost all vitality.

His eyes were closed, and his face was covered with deep wrinkles, making him look incredibly old.

When Ling Feng saw the somewhat miserable old man, he knew that this was Wu Yazi.

Ling Feng thought to himself, "Wu Yazi, you were once a brilliant and outstanding person, but now you have ended up in such a miserable state. It is truly unpredictable how things turn out!"

Upon noticing their arrival, Wu Yazi slowly opened his eyes.

His eyes, as if they had witnessed countless changes in the world, were filled with endless vicissitudes and wisdom, yet they also appeared somewhat cloudy and weary, as if bearing the heavy weight of the years.

After he clearly saw the group of people with his cloudy eyes, he said in a hoarse voice:

"Xinghe, are these three young friends the people you've been searching for?"

His voice was low and hoarse, carrying a faint sadness, which made people feel a strange heaviness.

Hearing Wu Yazi's hoarse voice, Su Xinghe was already used to it. He immediately knelt down and replied:

“Master, the Zhenlong Chess Game has not yet started. They are not the people I am looking for. They are your old friends, so I took the liberty of bringing them in to see you.”

Upon hearing Su Xinghe's words, Wu Yazi's cloudy eyes brightened slightly, and he asked in a trembling voice:

"My old friend? I don't remember having any old friends."

His tone revealed a hint of doubt and confusion.

Su Xinghe stopped being mysterious and said directly:

"Master, did you and your wife have a junior sister outside back then?"

Wu Yazi still looked puzzled and confused, but after hearing this, his eyes suddenly widened in anger, and after a moment he slowly spoke:

"Hmm... please continue!"

Having received confirmation from his master, Su Xinghe excitedly pointed at Wang Yuyan and exclaimed:

"She is Junior Sister's daughter, which is also Master's granddaughter!"

Upon hearing these words, Wu Yazi's body trembled violently.

He stared intently at Wang Yuyan with his cloudy eyes.

Looking at the haggard, withered old man before her, Wang Yuyan was filled with doubt and disbelief.

She never imagined that the frail old man in front of her would be her maternal grandfather.

Ling Feng noticed that Wang Yuyan hadn't responded, so he gently nudged her.

Wang Yuyan then seemed to wake from a dream, finally realizing that the person in front of her was indeed her maternal grandfather.

Since Ling Feng had already given her a hint, she naturally believed him without a doubt.

Without further hesitation, she knelt down and cried out:

"Grandpa"

Upon hearing Wang Yuyan call him "Grandpa," Wu Yazi's cloudy eyes involuntarily stirred with emotion.

After calming his emotions, he asked in a trembling voice:

"What's your mother's name? How is she doing?"

Now that she believed the withered old man before her was indeed her maternal grandfather, Wang Yuyan answered his question without hesitation:

"Grandpa, my mother's name is Li Qingluo, and she is doing well now."

When Wang Yuyan uttered her mother's name, Wu Yazi was completely certain of her identity, and immediately laughed loudly, saying:

"Haha, that's right, that's right, I never imagined that Qingluo, who was just a little girl back then, would have such a grown-up daughter now!"

Seeing Wu Yazi's happy expression, Wang Yuyan's mood also brightened.

However, at this moment, Wu Yazi suddenly spoke again:

"Child, come here and let your grandfather take a good look at you."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan got up and walked to Wu Yazi's side, then squatted down so that Wu Yazi could see her face clearly.

Wu Yazi carefully examined Wang Yuyan's face, his eyes shining with a kind light. After a moment, he sighed:

"You look just like her, exactly like your mother when she was young."

Hearing Wu Yazi's words, Wang Yuyan felt a warm sense of happiness welling up inside her, and then she asked softly:

Grandpa, how have you been these past few years?

Wu Yazi sighed, shook his head, and said:

"Alas, not long after I left your mother, I was harmed by that traitor Ding Chunqiu, and that's how I ended up like this."

Wang Yuyan felt very sad after hearing Wu Yazi's words, and she comforted him:

"Grandpa, don't be sad. Now that we've found you, we'll take you to Mantuo Manor. My mother is there too, and our whole family will live there from now on."

Wu Yazi nodded, a hint of relief flashing in his eyes, before he spoke to Wang Yuyan:

“My child, I am very happy that you have found this place. But my health is already at its limit. I can die without regrets if I can see you before I die. It is just a pity that I cannot see your mother before I die.”

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan quickly shook her head and said:

"Grandpa, no, you will definitely live to be a hundred years old."

Wu Yazi had long since taken life and death lightly. He smiled and said:

"Silly child, birth, aging, sickness, and death are the natural course of life, and no one can escape them. However, there is one thing that Grandpa is worried about, and I hope you can help Grandpa with it."

Wang Yuyan looked at Wuyazi with teary eyes and said firmly:

"Grandpa, just tell me. As long as it's something I can do, I will do my best. Even if it's something I can't do, I will ask Brother Feng to help me complete it."

Wu Yazi took a deep breath before slowly saying:

"That's not a difficult thing. I hope you can find a suitable person to take over the position of the leader of my Xiaoyao Sect, pass on the martial arts of my Xiaoyao Sect, and then clean up the sect for me. That is my last wish."

Upon hearing Wu Yazi's request, Wang Yuyan immediately thought of Ling Feng.

After all, in her opinion, it's better to keep the good stuff within the family, and she felt that her Feng Ge was a perfect fit.

Then she wiped away her tears, looked up at Wuyazi, and said:

"Grandpa, Brother Feng is perfect for you, why look for someone else?"

"Oh, you mean the kid who came in with you?"

"Yeah, Brother Feng is really amazing."

Wang Yuyan introduced Ling Feng with great pride, as if she were praising herself.

Wu Yazi was also intrigued by Wang Yuyan's words. He looked up and scrutinized Ling Feng behind him with a hint of judgment in his eyes.

Ling Feng was indeed handsome and dashing, with an appearance befitting the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect.

He then sensed that Ling Feng's aura was deep and his steps were light, indicating that his martial arts skills were also quite good.

Wu Yazi became more and more satisfied with the look; he felt that Ling Feng was born to take over the Xiaoyao Sect.
