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

After Li Qiushui finished recounting the events of that year, Wang Yuyan finally believed her completely.

Although Li Qiushui recounted her experiences from that time, it was only about Wu Yazi.

As for her later arrival in Western Xia, she didn't say a word.

This has led to Li Qiushui currently not knowing how to arrange things for Wang Yuyan.

Now that they know Wang Yuyan's identity, it would no longer be appropriate to use her to threaten Ling Feng.

But Li Qiushui was a little reluctant to send her back like this.

Although she was cold-hearted, she still felt a pang of guilt from the bottom of her heart towards her daughter whom she hadn't seen for over twenty years.

So now when she sees her granddaughter, it's like seeing her daughter; she always wants to make up for something.

Wang Yuyan was unaware of her many thoughts; she was extremely happy because she had met her grandmother, whom she had never met before.

If I bring this news back, my mother will surely be very happy.

After all, although my mother has never mentioned my maternal grandmother in recent years, she must miss her very much.

Looking at the overjoyed Wang Yuyan, a hint of affection flashed in Li Qiushui's eyes, but she still asked with concern:

"Yan'er, what are you doing at Lingjiu Palace?"

Wang Yuyan answered excitedly:

"Ah, we came here according to our grandfather's last wish. After he passed on the position of leader of the Xiaoyao Sect to Brother Feng, he sent him to Lingjiu Palace to learn martial arts."

Upon hearing this answer, Li Qiushui was slightly taken aback, then nodded in relief and said softly:

"Oh, I see!"

However, her gaze became complicated, as if she was thinking about something.

After a moment of silence, her voice suddenly trembled as she asked:

"Then, how did your grandfather die?"

Wang Yuyan sighed softly, her expression somewhat sorrowful, and said:

"My grandfather was murdered by his disciple, which caused him fatal injuries. For years, he has lived in a dark and hopeless place."

Some time ago, my grandfather felt that his time was up, so he asked his disciple Su Xinghe to hold the Zhenlong Chess Game in order to select a successor.

When Feng received the news, he took us all there. By a twist of fate, Feng gained his grandfather's approval and passed the leadership of the Xiaoyao Sect to him.

After listening to Wang Yuyan's story, Li Qiushui felt a mix of emotions.

Although she hated Wuyazi for having someone else in his heart, she had, after all, truly loved him.

Those beautiful memories flooded her mind like a tide, making her feel sad and heartbroken.

Years ago, driven by love turned to hatred, she conspired with Ding Chunqiu to secretly murder Wu Yazi.

However, as time went by, she had long since regretted it.

Unfortunately, the mistake had already been made and could not be undone.

She never saw Ding Chunqiu again after that, otherwise she would have killed him to vent her anger.

Now, time flies, and things have changed.

When she learned that Wu Yazi had not died, she felt a surge of joy.

But reality was so cruel; they later learned that Wuyazi had passed away not long ago.

This news, like a sharp sword, pierced her heart once again.

She couldn't help but lament the cruel twist of fate, wondering why it always played such a cruel joke on her.

Faced with this outcome, she felt immense pain and helplessness.

Time flies, and everything has become the past.

Perhaps this is the impermanence of life!

Suppressing the complex emotions in her heart, she looked at the forlorn-looking girl before her and asked again:

"What's your relationship with that kid? It seems like your relationship is more than just casual."

"This……"

Wang Yuyan looked conflicted, unsure how to answer the question.

"Yuyan, is there anything you can't tell me? Don't worry, no matter what happens, Grandma will help you."

Li Qiushui thought her granddaughter had been wronged, so she quickly comforted her.

"That's not how it is, Grandma. Feng-ge is an orphan that my mother adopted when he was little. He and I grew up together, we're childhood sweethearts."

Seeing her grandmother's anxiety, Wang Yuyan quickly and shyly explained.

"So this is ah."

Li Qiushui suddenly realized

"However, it seems to me that your relationship is more than just childhood sweethearts, isn't it?"

Wang Yuyan lowered her head shyly, her face slightly flushed.

"Grandma, please don't ask anymore."

"Okay, Grandma won't ask anymore. What about the other two girls who came with you? I think their relationship seems a bit complicated."

Li Qiushui continued to press for answers.

"Yes, they are the female confidantes that Brother Feng met while he was away from home," Wang Yuyan said softly.

"Oh? So you don't have any objections to this?" Li Qiushui asked in surprise.

"No, they are all very nice, and we get along very well."

Wang Yuyan looked up and smiled. Seeing her sincere expression, she didn't seem to be lying.

Hearing her granddaughter say that, Li Qiushui fell silent for a moment.

She originally thought her granddaughter would feel resentful or jealous because of this.

But to my surprise, my granddaughter accepted this fact so readily and even got along very well with the two girls.

This reminded her of her own experiences when she was young, and she was filled with emotion.

If I had been more magnanimous back then, perhaps none of this would have happened.

But now the die is cast, and what's done is done. There's no going back, and regretting it now is futile.

Since Wang Yuyan had no objection to the matter, she stopped dwelling on it.

Then, he turned his gaze to Wang Yuyan and asked curiously:

"That kid is so strong, how come you're still only at the second-rate level?"

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan lowered her head and replied somewhat shyly:

"This... I didn't like learning martial arts before; I only started learning it last year."

Upon hearing this answer, Li Qiushui's doubts vanished instantly, and she was also shocked and gratified by her granddaughter's martial arts talent.

It's astounding to go from having no martial arts foundation to reaching the second-rate level within a year; such speed is simply unbelievable.

Even in the entire martial arts world, such martial arts prodigies are extremely rare.

Thinking of this, Li Qiushui couldn't help but sigh:

“My dear granddaughter, I never imagined your martial arts talent was so amazing. With your talent, given time, you will surely become a master of martial arts.”

Then, Wang Yuyan's grandmother continued to ask, "So what kind of internal energy cultivation method are you practicing now?"

Wang Yuyan hesitated for a moment and answered softly:

"This...this is a first-class internal energy cultivation manual that I found at Mantuo Manor. Originally, Brother Feng wanted to teach me the Northern Darkness Divine Art, but I refused. Because I heard that only the leader of the Xiaoyao Sect can cultivate this technique."

“Yes, there is such a rule. But since you are only learning first-rate techniques, I, your grandmother, have decided to pass on the Lesser Formless Technique that I have learned to you. Although this technique also originated from the Free and Unfettered Sect, it is not subject to as many restrictions as the Northern Darkness Divine Art.”

Wang Yuyan showed little interest in this, saying without any enthusiasm:

"Grandma, let's not do that! I feel like things are fine as they are now, and besides, Brother Feng can protect me in the future!"

Hearing this, Li Qiushui frowned and said, "Silly child, you can't rely on him forever. Only when you are strong enough will you not be bullied in the future."

Upon hearing this, Wang Yuyan said somewhat reluctantly:

"Oh, okay then, I'll learn from you, Grandma."

Seeing her unwilling look, Li Qiushui almost laughed out of anger.

But when she thought that this was her granddaughter, she suppressed her anger.

Subsequently, Li Qiushui began to teach Wang Yuyan the Lesser Formless Skill.

As the top internal energy cultivation method of the Xiaoyao Sect, Xiaowuxiang Gong allows practitioners to simulate the martial arts moves and internal energy circulation of other sects, making it difficult for others to distinguish between the real and the fake.

For Wang Yuyan, this skill was practically tailor-made for her.

At the same time, Li Qiushui also taught Wang Yuyan her unique skill, the Cold Sleeve Acupoint Flicking Technique.

The Cold Sleeve Acupoint Strike uses the sleeve of clothing as a weapon to attack the enemy's acupoints, rendering the enemy unable to move.

This skill requires not only precise finger techniques, but also a deep understanding of acupoints on the human body.

Wang Yuyan possessed these qualities; she had been familiar with various martial arts classics since childhood and had a thorough understanding of acupoints on the human body.

As for Li Qiushui's other unique skill, the White Rainbow Palm Force, she hesitated.

After all, this martial art is quite difficult, and a beginner may need to spend more time and effort to learn it.

It wasn't that she was hiding anything; she was just worried that Wang Yuyan would try to do too much at once and end up not getting anything worthwhile.

Although Wang Yuyan is clever and quick-witted, being exposed to too much advanced martial arts knowledge all at once might confuse and bewilder her.

Moreover, she didn't want to neglect the training of basic skills in pursuit of speed, as this would affect Wang Yuyan's future development.

Therefore, she decided to observe for a period of time to see how well Wang Yuyan had mastered other martial arts before deciding whether to teach her the White Rainbow Palm Force.
