The Great Ruler: Starting from the Lower Plane

Ye Hong composed himself slightly and then asked a question.

Qingye City is too small to keep his grandson, a true dragon. Staying in the Ye family would only waste his talent for cultivation.

Although the outside world is full of dangers, how can one grow without experiencing hardships?

"I came back this time to let my grandfather know I'm safe and sound. I'll be leaving in a few days to go to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect."

Ye Feng did not hide his whereabouts and spoke up.

There was no need to tell Ye Yuan and the other members of the Ye family, but he didn't want to hide anything from his grandfather.

This is his only relative on the Sword Continent.

"Burning Heaven Sword Sect..."

Ye Hong murmured softly, a trace of confusion flashing across his weathered eyes. Then, as if remembering something, he suddenly raised his head, his eyes bursting with disbelief.

"The Burning Heaven Sword Sect?!"

"Feng'er, are you talking about the legendary Burning Heaven Sword Sect of our Western Sword Land? The Burning Heaven Sword Sect, hailed as one of the holy lands of swordsmanship?"

A gentle breeze swept by, and Ye Hong's voice trembled noticeably, clearly indicating his extreme excitement.

"Yes, that's right."

Ye Feng nodded and smiled, explaining, "Every time I go out to the Great Li Dynasty for training, I am fortunate enough to be noticed by a senior from the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, who will take me there in a few days."

Upon hearing this, Ye Hong took a deep breath, his beard trembling slightly with excitement.

Burning Heaven Sword Sect!

Such a force is like a myth or legend to the people of Qingye City and even the entire Tianfeng Dynasty!

That was the true giant of the Western Sword Land, a sacred place that countless cultivators dreamed of. His grandson is now cultivating there, what an honor that is!

However, given his grandson's talent of entering the Sword Soul Realm at the age of sixteen, it's not surprising that he was valued by the Burning Heaven Sword Sect. Such terrifying cultivation talent is not something that just anyone can possess.

"Great...that's wonderful!"

After a slight daze, Ye Hong patted Ye Feng on the shoulder, his aged and loving face full of excitement.

"Feng'er, your entry into the Burning Heaven Sword Sect is an immense opportunity. You must seize it and not let that senior down!"

After the initial excitement, Ye Hong's face showed worry again: "However... Feng'er, places like the Burning Heaven Sword Sect are full of geniuses, and the competition there must be extremely fierce, probably even more brutal than in our imperial territories."

"When you get there, be careful in everything you do. Don't be too sharp, but don't lose your edge either... Sigh, this old man is starting to nag again."

Ye Feng felt a warmth in his heart and chuckled.

"Grandpa, don't worry. That senior has taken great care of me and will definitely protect me..."

"and…"

As he spoke, Ye Feng paused, a strange light flashing in his eyes.

"Furthermore, he has betrothed his granddaughter to his grandson, and his grandson will definitely bring her to see you when the opportunity arises."

Although he said that, Ye Feng knew in his heart that if Su Zhen's granddaughter was indeed as beautiful as he said and suited his taste, he would bring her back.

If not, then there's absolutely no need to bring him back; he's never been one to compromise himself.

"That senior betrothed his granddaughter to you...?"

Upon hearing Ye Feng's words, Ye Hong's excitement was instantly replaced by astonishment. He opened his mouth, remained silent for a while, and then finally processed the news.

"It's been a year, and he already has a granddaughter-in-law..."

Ye Hong stared blankly at Ye Feng, as if he were seeing Ye Feng for the first time.

After being away from home for a year, not only has his strength increased dramatically, but he has also joined the legendary Burning Heaven Sword Sect, and even his marriage... has been arranged for him? Such an encounter is simply too bizarre.

"Wind, what's going on?"

Ye Hong's tone was full of confusion, and a sense of worry crept into his heart.

Although his grandson was exceptionally talented, such a windfall always made him feel uneasy.

"This is a long story, and as you know, your grandson possesses the Pure Yang Sword Body..."

"..."

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then briefly explained how Su Zhen valued his talent and potential, and how he needed Ye Feng to use his pure Yang energy to help his granddaughter resolve her Yin Sha disease. He omitted the overly dangerous parts, such as his innate sword body and the pursuit by the Sha Nu Sword Sect.

Some things, though not that complicated to explain, and his grandfather might not be happy to know, are better left unsaid.

"I see."

After listening, the worry in Ye Hong's eyes quietly disappeared.

The elder saw the potential in his grandson's talent and needed the pure yang energy within him to help him, which is why this marriage was arranged. That makes sense.

Moreover, this marriage means that his grandson will have a powerful backer in the Burning Heaven Sword Sect, making him more reassuring.

"Wind, may I have the honor of meeting that senior?"

Ye Hong looked at Ye Feng and asked solemnly.

He knew his strength was weak and that he was insignificant in the eyes of powerful figures like the Burning Heaven Sword Sect.

But as Ye Feng's grandfather, he still hoped to meet the senior who was about to take his grandson away, and to express his gratitude in person to the person who had arranged the marriage, and also to see if the person was reliable.

"It should be possible, but I need to ask that senior first."

Ye Feng thought for a moment and then responded.

Before leaving Qingye City, it wouldn't be difficult to arrange for Su Zhen to meet with his grandfather.

Moreover, if he wanted to go to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect with peace of mind, he would have to ask the senior Su Zhen for help.

"Haha, it's alright."

Ye Hong waved his hand, a smile appearing in his eyes.

"Although my strength is a bit low, I have lived to this age and seen a lot of people. No matter what that senior’s status is, he values ​​you so much and took you to the Burning Heaven Sword Sect. I will always remember this kindness."

"It would be best if I could thank him in person, but if not, Grandpa will always remember it."

"As for your marriage..."

Ye Hong paused, looked at Ye Feng, and said, "Feng'er, as long as that woman is not bad, you must treat her well."

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng sighed.

"I hope she's doing alright..."

To this day, not only have they not seen the woman's face, but they don't even know her name.

Su Zhen is his grandfather, so it's hard to say whether his assessment is biased. But logically, the stronger a person is, the more outstanding their descendants will be, unless Su Zhen and his cheap father-in-law have a penchant for ugly women...

"Since there are still a few days left, spend some quality time with Grandpa. Once you leave, I don't know when you'll be able to come back..."

......

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

In a spacious and bright room.

"Young man, I remember you once told me you were engaged. I wonder who the woman you are betrothed to is? I've never heard your grandfather mention her."

Su Zhen sat in the guest seat, holding a teacup, watching Ye Feng with great interest.

Upon hearing this, Ye Feng gave an awkward smile.
