Yu Daochen got up and went to the room where Zhou Fu had been staying for the past few days, to see if the kid had left anything behind.
Upon entering the room, he immediately spotted an envelope on the table.
Yu Daochen walked over and picked up the envelope from the table, looking at the few lines of text on it.
"Inside are my whereabouts over the past year and the reasons for my drastic change in personality. If Master has the resolve to accept it, then open it—Zhou Fu."
Looking at the lines on the envelope, Yu Daochen smiled faintly, "This kid is still up to such mysterious things."
As he tore open the envelope and took out the letter inside.
Yu Daochen suddenly thought of something, and the smile on his face vanished. Looking at the letter that would reveal its contents as soon as it was opened, he quietly put it back.
He placed the envelope in the drawer and walked out of the room without a word.
After leaving the room, Yu Daochen closed his eyes slightly and then slowly opened them again, as if he hadn't seen the envelope just now.
No one knew what was written in the letter, nor why Yu Daochen did not open it.
Evening.
Just as Yu Daochen was about to go back to his room to sleep, he heard a knock on the door: "Xiao Hen."
Seeing that it was his grandfather's voice, Yu Daochen was a little confused.
Why did Grandpa come back so late?
He went to the door, opened it, and saw Yu Shuntian: "Grandpa, why are you back so late?"
Yu Shuntian's old face broke into a smile: "Guess who's here?"
Yu Daochen looked puzzled. None of his close friends seemed to be around.
Who could it be?
Just as Yu Daochen was racking his brains, a figure popped out from behind Yu Shuntian.
"Daddy, do you miss your darling daughter?"
Seeing that it was Yu Yijun, Yu Daochen's face lit up with a smile: "Little girl, why are you here?"
Yu Shuntian coughed dryly and said, "What are you saying? Little girl is one of the Yu family. How can she not come?"
Hearing this, Yu Daochen quickly explained, "Grandpa, that's not what I meant."
Yu Shuntian didn't bother to pay attention to him. He looked at Yu Yijun beside him, his old face full of smiles: "Little girl, let's go home."
Yu Yijun giggled, "Okay, Great-Grandpa."
Watching the old man and the child walk towards the main hall, Yu Daochen felt a little helpless.
Why did he always feel like an outsider?
Could this be the legendary favoritism of grandparents?
The three of them arrived at the main hall, and Yu Yijun recounted their activities over the past few days.
They mostly ate various delicacies, then practiced, and Great-Grandpa taught her the "Thirty-Six Needles of Heavenly Sun."
"Thirty-Six Needles of Heavenly Sun?"
Yu Daochen muttered, looking at Yu Shuntian with confusion: "Grandpa, does our Yu family have such a powerful acupuncture technique?"
Yu Shuntian nodded and said, "That's right. The Thirty-Six Needles of Heavenly Sun is indeed an acupuncture technique passed down through our generations."
Yu Daochen had witnessed the power of his grandfather's acupuncture technique. He could single-handedly fight two black-ranked experts with ease.
Yu Shuntian also knew what his grandson was thinking. He shook his head and said, "This acupuncture technique must be practiced diligently from a young age. It's too late for you to learn it at your current age."
Seeing his grandfather say this, Yu Daochen could only show disappointment.
He also knew that some techniques had to be learned from childhood.
Once someone in his line of work developed their own fighting style, it was very difficult to change.
Yu Shuntian's tone suddenly became a bit more serious: "You don't have much time left. You must improve your strength as soon as possible."
Yu Daochen nodded, making a firm decision in his heart.
Within these six months, he would definitely reach the top five in the Heavenly Ranking.
Early morning~
Yu Daochen was still asleep when Yu Shuntian woke him up.
Yu Daochen groggily opened his eyes and glanced at the time. It was only seven in the morning.
"Grandpa, do we have to start cultivating so early?"
Yu Shuntian shook his head and said, "Not necessarily. I just need you to go out and help. Someone has arrived."
Hearing about helping and someone arriving, Yu Daochen's heart tightened. He grabbed the Kanglong Mace beside his pillow and prepared to go out.
Yu Shuntian looked bewildered: "What are you doing, kid?"
Seeing his grandfather's bewildered look, Yu Daochen asked in confusion, "Aren't people attacking us?"
Yu Shuntian was speechless: "What are you thinking, kid? I asked you to go out and help move things."
"Oh, so that's what it is." Yu Daochen awkwardly rubbed the back of his head and got up to go out. He saw a Huolala truck parked at the entrance.
Yu Daochen looked at the large items on the truck with some confusion: "A refrigerator?"
That's not right. Wasn't there already a refrigerator inside?
At this moment, Yu Shuntian also came out and said, "This is an ice cream machine that your Grandpa bought."
"An ice cream machine?" Yu Daochen looked bewildered: "Grandpa, why did you buy this thing?"
Yu Shuntian glared at him disapprovingly: "Nonsense, of course, I bought it for that little girl. Did you think I bought it for you?"
"This..."
Yu Daochen was a little helpless and said, "Grandpa, aren't you being a bit too good to that little girl? Besides, my shop already has an ice cream machine. Can't we just bring it over?"
Yu Shuntian said, "I saw that the little girl quite likes to eat ice cream, so I bought one. Besides, if we move the one from your shop, the little girl won't have any to eat when she goes back."
Yu Daochen was speechless. He followed the movers and helped carry the ice cream machine to the main hall.
Once the ice cream machine was plugged in, it could be used normally.
Looking at the pink ice cream machine, Yu Daochen shook his head helplessly.
When this little girl wakes up and sees this ice cream machine, she'll be happy for a while again.
As expected, when Yu Yijun woke up and saw the suddenly appearing ice cream machine, she was overjoyed.
After lunch, Yu Shuntian began to teach Yu Daochen how to cultivate.
The Yu family's old residence was not far from the back mountain, at most a ten-minute walk.
Arriving at a clearing in a forest, Yu Shuntian looked at Yu Daochen and suddenly asked, "Good grandson, what do you think is the most fundamental thing in judging a person's strength?"
Yu Daochen was a little confused. Why would Grandpa ask such a question? He replied, "Of course, it's strength."
Yu Shuntian nodded and then asked, "Then what is the most fundamental thing that determines strength?"
Yu Daochen was completely bewildered by the question and shook his head, "I don't know."
Yu Shuntian smiled faintly, clenched his fist, and slammed it hard into a nearby large tree.
Bang!
The large tree beside him was directly broken by the punch and fell with a crash.
Looking at the fallen tree, Yu Daochen couldn't help but be a little surprised.
This tree was at least as thick as his thigh, not to mention more.
It was broken with just one punch!?
The force of this punch could easily kill a cow.
Although he could also kill a cow, it would have to be under the condition of condensing the Earth Kun Hand.
"Strength!" Yu Shuntian said slowly. "The most fundamental way to evaluate a person's strength is power."
Yu Daochen clenched his fist and remained silent.
