It's only three years old, what kind of whitewashing system is this?

Xiao Yuanbo turned his head and was immediately startled: "Grandma, Grandma Mei!"

Upon seeing him, the head of the guards immediately went to inform Old Lady Mei.

A month ago, when Grandma Mei went out to worship Buddha, Xiao Yuanbo followed her out to show his sincerity.

But after only a few days, he was so bothered by this strict old woman that he couldn't eat or sleep well.

The Xiao family was of a high social standing, and Xiao Yuanbo was a wealthy landowner in the area.

But once they arrived in the capital, they were nothing!

Why merge with the Su family? Isn't it just to enjoy a life of luxury?

During the time I was away, I ate vegetarian food and burned incense every day.

After suffering greatly, Xiao Yuanbo found an excuse and quickly ran away.

Upon seeing Old Lady Mei again, they were terrified.

Boom!

Grandma Mei slammed her dragon-headed cane on the ground: "Don't call me grandma, I'm not your grandma!"

Xiao Yuanbo quickly smiled apologetically: "You are Grandma Qingchen, so of course I must respect you."

Grandma Mei asked with a half-smile, "And what about Su Yun?"

Judging from her stern tone, and the fact that she went out to worship Buddha for Xiao Qingchen's sake.

Xiao Yuanbo immediately replied, "Su Yun counts too."

"You mean that?" Old Mrs. Mei smiled kindly.

Seeing her smile, Xiao Yuanbo breathed a sigh of relief: "Yes, yes, Yun'er, quickly greet your grandmother."

"Even after you leave the Su family, you must visit Grandma Mei often, understand..."

Boom!

Grandma Mei swung her cane and hit Xiao Yuanbo: "No grandma? You're the one who doesn't have a grandma!"

"Your whole family doesn't have a grandmother!"

The dragon-headed cane was incredibly heavy, and could something used by the old lady of the Marquis be an ordinary object?

One blow after another, until his skin was torn and bleeding!

Xiao Yuanbo was beaten so badly that he ran away with his head in his hands: "Grandma, Grandma, I was wrong!"

"Stop hitting me, ouch!"

Old Madam Mei showed no mercy: "Trying to abduct my Su family's young master, huh?"

"What a courageous dog!"

Xiao Yuanbo asked blankly, "Huh? The young master of the Su family?"

"The young master is not Qingchen..."

Bang!

The cane was placed directly between his eyebrows.

Fortunately, Xiao Yuanbo had some cultivation and magic weapons for self-defense.

Otherwise, his brains would splatter out.

Old Mrs. Mei pointed outside and shouted, "Get out of here!"

Xiao Yuanbo covered his face, then felt a pain in his buttocks.

I covered my butt, and then my face started to hurt.

She could only touch one at a time, and said pitifully, "Grandma... but... I want to go home."

Old Madam Mei said coldly, "The Xiao family isn't here. Go find them yourself!"

Xiao Yuanbo was bewildered: "Huh? What do you mean 'not here'?"

"If Su Yun is here, why isn't the Xiao family here?"

Grandma Mei gave a mocking smile: "Fine, now Su Yun will go back with you and have nothing to do with the Su family anymore."

Do you agree?

Xiao Yuanbo immediately became serious and shook his head repeatedly: "Grandma, I was just joking!"

How could I possibly agree!

At least a portion of the family property should be divided before severing ties!

Su Yun looked up, her face pitiful: "Grandma...don't you want Yun'er anymore?"

Grandma Mei almost lost her composure, her heart softening as she wanted to pull her beloved grandson into her arms.

But she was stubborn and held back: "If I don't want you, why would Grandma stand up for you?"

Upon hearing this, Su Yun said "Oh," and pointed at Xiao Yuanbo: "Grandma, he just told me to kneel down and call him 'Dad'!"

Seeing Grandma Mei raise her cane, Xiao Yuanbo was completely bewildered: "??????"

After a long while, his face swelled up like a pig's head: "Where's Qingchen!"

"I have good news! I want to see Qingchen!"

Grandma Mei said, "Qingchen doesn't want to see you."

Xiao Yuanbo was angry. How could this old lady be so heartless!

Just as he was about to speak, a soft, feminine voice suddenly came from behind him: "Madam Mei, how is your health?"

Old Mrs. Mei turned her face, paused for a moment, and then said, "Eunuch Cao, what brings you here?"

Upon seeing the newcomer, Xiao Yuanbo immediately puffed out his chest proudly.

A grand eunuch in magnificent robes appeared in front of the Su residence, surrounded by a retinue of attendants.

Eunuch Cao was a very influential figure; when he appeared, he represented the emperor.

But this ancestor, whom all officials had to show deference to, actually showed six points of deference to Old Lady Mei.

Eunuch Cao laughed and said, "The Marquis of Zhenyuan has made great contributions on the frontier, and His Majesty wishes to promote him to the rank of Duke."

"Madam, from now on you will be the mistress of the Duke's mansion!"

"The Ministry of War said that the Marquis of Zhenyuan just happened to break through."

"His Majesty also does not wish to be disturbed, so this matter is being communicated in advance."

"The announcement will be made once he is able to attend court."

Grandma Mei nodded slightly. The matter, however serious, seemed as insignificant as a few thin threads snapping in her ears.

She simply said, "Then I will thank Your Majesty on behalf of Changge."

Eunuch Cao smiled, not caring about the details.

This old woman dared to storm into the palace and point her finger at the late emperor, scolding him for wasting people's money and resources.

The late emperor not only dared not be angry, but also wanted to bestow upon her the title of Lady of Imperial Decree, in order to demonstrate his ability to distinguish between loyalty and treachery.

Eunuch Cao continued, "There is one more matter. The Xuanqing Sect wishes to carry out the Jiazi Demon Extermination again and is willing to cooperate with the Great Qian."

Old Madam Mei frowned: "The Jiazi Demon Extermination? What does that have to do with my Su family?"

Eunuch Cao pointed to the side: "This is related to this gentleman."

Xiao Yuanbo said proudly, "My family... cough, the immortal master of Xuanqing Sect thinks that Xiao Qingchen has great fortune."

"This time, the Jiazi Demon Extermination requires someone to guide us in finding the vital point in the Great Qian Dynasty."

"By placing a sacred pillar at the vital point, one can suppress evil spirits, demons, and monsters!"

"The subsequent demon-slaying will be much more efficient."

"Qingchen is the best candidate for this mission!"

With a forced smile, Eunuch Cao said, "That's right. The Xuanqing Sect encountered this gentleman by chance on their way to the Great Qian Dynasty."

"I feel that he is imbued with an aura of good fortune, and there must be a destined person by his side."

"That's why His Majesty also believes that after the demon is vanquished, the number of demons and monsters in the countryside and wilderness will decrease."

"Please do me the favor of asking that person with great fortune to accompany you, Madam."

He stepped forward, leaned closer, and whispered, "The Su family has both merit and hard work."

"Once this matter is settled, His Majesty will bestow rewards upon us."

"Moreover, I heard that the Xuanqing Sect sent a contemporary saintess who is beautiful and stunning."

"If we happen to become friends during this time, that would be a wonderful thing!"

Grandma Mei frowned: "My child is only three years old!"

Eunuch Cao reacted quickly, continuing with a fawning smile: "In just a few years, the young master will be grown up soon, won't he?"

Grandma Mei also seemed to be deep in thought.

Ta-ta-ta-ta.

Just then, someone came back, dragging heavy steps and limping.

Su Yun smiled slightly and said politely, "Brother Qingchen."

It was Xiao Qingchen who arrived, his face bruised and swollen!

Sure enough, this kid learned the Devouring Heaven Demon Art.

The soaring aura emanating from him was diminishing every moment.

Xiao Yuanbo turned around immediately, but didn't recognize him.

Hearing the voice calling out, and after carefully recognizing the face, she exclaimed in surprise, "Qingchen? It's you, Qingchen!"

"You...how did you get like this!"

He was terrified; his son was only three years old.

Now he's grown to my shoulder size, and looks at least ten years old!

Xiao Qingchen looked up with resentment, but her eyes cleared as soon as she saw Su Yun.

He answered softly, "Father, it's me."

Xiao Yuanbo held his shoulder and asked repeatedly, "Who hit you? Who beat you up like this?!"

"Tell your father, and I'll bring the guards from the Su family to back you up!"

Xiao Qingchen gritted his teeth and could only say, "I... fell."

No one is bullying the child.

If someone gets beaten up, they will inevitably be asked why they provoked the other person.

After a while, things got complicated and became difficult to explain.

The jade slip had already been sent to the Imperial Observatory, and no one noticed the problem.

Don't create any more accidents for yourself.

Xiao Yuanbo had a thousand words stuck in his heart, unable to utter them or swallow them down.

He sighed and stamped his foot: "Child, your father has prepared an opportunity for you!"

"You should take good care of the Holy Maiden of the Xuanqing Sect, and your rise to prominence will be just around the corner!"

Swish.

Suddenly, endless flower petals flew down the street, and verdant green leaves floated down like a convertible sedan chair.

A simply dressed woman was sitting in an elegant sedan chair, slowly flying over.

Everyone held their breath when they saw her face.

This woman was delicate and graceful, but not at all vulgar. Instead, she was like a lotus flower that had not yet bloomed, pure and captivating.

One glance is enough to make one unable to forget its fragility, and to want to hold it in one's arms and protect it carefully.

Its delicate fragrance is so lovely that it evokes tenderness and intoxicates the senses.

Xiao Yuanbo was overjoyed: "It's the Holy Maiden of the Xuanqing Sect!"

"Qingchen, hurry up and go!"

Xiao Qingchen immediately deduced the situation from just a few words.

The Xuanqing Sect is extremely powerful, with branches in all five major domains.

Seventy years ago, it launched the Jiazi Demon Extermination Campaign, eliminating demons and bringing peace and prosperity to the Tianyuan Realm.

Now, the Xuanqing Sect is about to launch its second campaign to exterminate the demons.

This might be my best chance yet!

Xiao Qingchen glanced at Su Yun.

He looked up at the sky with an innocent expression, clearly unaware of what this meant.

Xiao Qingchen took a deep breath and bowed deeply: "Xiao Qingchen respectfully welcomes the Holy Maiden of Xuanqing Sect!"

Xiao Yuanbo waved repeatedly: "Holy Maiden, I am the person you met on the road."

"This is my son, he is the person with great fortune that you have been looking for!"

Despite her high position, the Holy Maiden of Xuanqing Sect did not appear aloof at all.

Her eyes were lowered, as if she were grieving for all living beings and pitying all things.

Just one glance is enough to soften people's hearts with her pitiful appearance.

The Holy Maiden of Xuanqing Sect gracefully leaped down, amidst the expectant gazes of the crowd.

Landing in front of Su Yun, not minding the dirt at all, she knelt on one knee and gently hooked her arm around the three-year-old child's arm.

"A person of great destiny." Her eyes, like stars, were filled with sincerity. "Would you be my companion?"

"Help my Xuanqing Sect—"

"Demon exorcist?"
