Chapter 307: Chapter 306 Qin Huai’an’s Shock
Looking into the eager eyes of the two young people, Qin Huai’an opened his mouth but shook his head and said, "Forget it, you haven’t even fully understood this secular world yet, why bother knowing more things?"
Seeing that he wouldn’t speak, Qin Yanyang pouted and said, "It’s just something like Hidden Sects or other special existences. Since there are Hidden Sects in Divine Continent, it’s no surprise that the Western regions have their own mysterious organizations or aristocratic families."
Qin Huai’an nodded, "Pretty much."
Qin Yanyang turned to Yang Fei and said, "My grandpa, like your master, sometimes likes to be secretive. Don’t mind him. Let’s go rest. Tomorrow I’ll take you to my maternal grandpa’s place, then you’ll know."
The main purpose of their visit to the capital this time was to clarify whether they were blood-related. Now that they had confirmed they weren’t, they felt at ease, and their objective had been accomplished.
But Qin Yanyang still wanted to help Yang Fei find out about his mother.
Yang Fei looked at her with gratitude and said, "Previously, my father-in-law and mother-in-law said that matters concerning my mother are a taboo in the Duanmu Family. Let’s not ask about it. When the time comes, we’ll naturally find out. No rush."
Qin Huai’an silently nodded in approval, "The kid is right."
However, Qin Yanyang wouldn’t have it, "It’s fine. My maternal grandpa is just as fond of me as grandpa is. There won’t be any problems if I ask."
Qin Huai’an chuckled and shook his head, "Girl, you’re too confident. Those old folks in the Duanmu Family have quite the temper, and they’re not as easy to talk to as I am. But it’s no problem for you to ask. After all, you are their niece, and they wouldn’t harm you. As for this lad here, that’s another story."
Qin Yanyang was taken aback and looked at her grandfather, "Grandpa, what do you mean by that?"
"Exactly what I said," Qin Huai’an smiled mysteriously. "I’m afraid you might go there with your husband but leave alone."
Qin Yanyang’s expression tightened, "That can’t be. Would my maternal grandpa really keep Yang Fei there?"
Qin Huai’an snorted, "Yang Fei is Duanmu Qing’s son; there’s no mistake about it. The Fatty Taoist personally told me so, and he indeed resembles Duanmu Qing somewhat. So, if he goes with you to the Duanmu Family, he definitely won’t find it pleasant. You two weigh in on that."
Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei became even more curious about what had happened between Duanmu Qing and the Duanmu Family.
After some thought, Qin Yanyang said to Yang Fei, "Yang Fei, how about I test the waters with my maternal grandpa tomorrow, and you stay behind?"
Yang Fei nodded and said, "Sure, I’ll just stay here and keep grandpa company."
"Alright, that’s settled then. Grandpa, it’s getting late; you should rest early. Yang Fei and I are going to sleep," Qin Yanyang said, leading Yang Fei to the bedroom she had claimed for herself in the courtyard.
Seeing Yang Fei follow her, Qin Huai’an couldn’t help but become anxious, "Hey hey... Girl, is he also sleeping in your boudoir?"
Qin Yanyang’s cheeks flushed slightly as she replied, "Yes, we’re husband and wife, we’ve been sleeping together for a while now."
Her thoughts were the same as Yang Fei’s – to grow stronger as soon as possible. Therefore, she wanted to practice cultivation together with Yang Fei every day, which turned out to be extremely beneficial.
Qin Huai’an hadn’t expected their relationship to progress so quickly and felt somewhat distressed as he looked at Yang Fei with a hint of severity in his eyes, "Boy, you... you..."
He wanted to say, "Don’t touch my granddaughter," but a daughter married off is not controlled by her parents, and a married granddaughter is not likely to listen to her grandfather either.
Sigh!
What a loss.
Such a precious granddaughter, and this lad gets to benefit!
Seeing Qin Huai’an’s hesitant expression, Yang Fei couldn’t help but be amused. He thought the old man was just like his master, always enigmatic, and decided to tease him a bit, "Grandpa, don’t worry. I’ll work hard, I promise to take good care of Yanyang and fulfill my responsibilities as a husband."
Before he could finish speaking, he felt a searing pain in his hand; Qin Yanyang, red-faced and embarrassed, had given his arm a sharp pinch.
"Grandpa, goodnight!" Qin Yanyang dropped these four words and, pulling Yang Fei, entered the room and slammed the door shut with a bang.
Qin Huai’an stood in the windy courtyard, looking disheveled from Yang Fei’s words, fuming with irritation.
He felt an itch in his hands.
If it weren’t for the girl acting so quickly and dragging the lad into the room, he’d have certainly worked off some of that boy’s tension.
In the room, Qin Yanyang was still holding onto a small piece of flesh on Yang Fei’s arm and didn’t let go.
Yang Fei grimaced in pain, "I’m wrong, dear, please let go. I’m about to lose this piece of flesh."
Qin Yanyang, her ears red, said, "No more nonsense in front of my grandpa."
"The old man deliberately being secretive, I just had to rile him up," said Yang Fei.
Qin Yanyang chuckled, "Eye for an eye – why are you so petty? I’ve told you, one should be magnanimous and have vision, try to be more forgiving. You just never remember."
Yang Fei saw her release him and chuckled, "I remember, wife. I’m just playing around with your grandpa. Haven’t you noticed that ever since I’ve been with you, I remember everything you say? Otherwise, those people who attacked you this afternoon wouldn’t have been able to leave if it were the old me. When you told me to take you and run first, didn’t I obediently listen and do as told?"
Qin Yanyang was very happy to hear this and said, "Then you need to keep it up."
"At your command, I wouldn’t dare disobey my wife’s words," Yang Fei said, and with a sly grin, he looked at Qin Yanyang with fiery eyes and said, "Wife, seeing as I’ve been so obedient, don’t I deserve a little sweet reward tonight?"
Qin Yanyang’s face turned as red as her neck, how could she not know what Yang Fei was thinking.
But she also understood that her feelings for Yang Fei had developed too rapidly, and they needed to slow down a bit.
Moreover, during this time under his tireless soft and hard tactics, her defenses had been breached. Except for the utmost vital point, he had conquered all the major strongholds.
If she were to surrender the final bastion, then he’d have gained everything far too easily.
Although she had never been in love before, Qin Yanyang understood a principle.
For men, things gotten too easily are never treasured enough.
So she was absolutely not going to let Yang Fei succeed easily.
She might be a daughter of the martial arts world, but she was also a woman who had her own fantasies about marriage.
She thought that even though they were already legally married, she yearned for a grand wedding, dreaming of giving herself completely to the man she loved on their wedding night.
So no matter how Yang Fei tried to persuade her, gently or forcefully, Qin Yanyang wouldn’t give in, refusing to let herself be crossed that ultimate line.
Nevertheless, the two still loved snuggling up together, because when they cultivated together, they felt too good.
Soon enough, Qin Huai’an, who was aging and already tended to sleep less due to being a martial arts master, sensed something unusual while sitting under an old tree in the courtyard.
He suddenly looked surprised toward the room where Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei were sleeping, his face full of shock.
"What is this... What’s going on?" Qin Huai’an’s expression changed dramatically, almost wanting to push the door open and see for himself.
After entering the Innate Realm of martial arts, one steps into a whole new field of cultivation, which could be considered the beginning of a true cultivation path.
Innate Realm Martial Artists have opened their innate perception, which can connect with Heaven and Earth Power, and have very sensitive senses.
Just now, as he sat under the old tree enjoying the shade, he sensed the Power of Heaven and Earth above the courtyard moving slowly.
At first, he didn’t take it seriously, thinking it was just the wind passing by and moving the air currents.
But soon, he noticed something strange.
There was no wind.
The Power above the courtyard was being drawn by a force, creating currents that flowed tirelessly towards the room where Qin Yanyang and Yang Fei were residing.
Qin Huai’an’s face showed a bewildered expression, which was quickly followed by a shocked one.
"How can this be?"
He felt a violent turmoil inside him.
Since stepping into the Innate Realm, he had realized that martial arts were just the lowest form of cultivation.
Upon reaching the Innate level, one could establish a very sensitive connection with the Power Elements of Heaven and Earth, and control the Power of Heaven and Earth at will.
But this was merely an illusion.
The Power of Heaven and Earth that Innate Realm Martial Artists could control was incredibly weak; it was strong only compared to martial artists. The imposing force of Innate Realm masters, combined with their ability to wield the Power of Heaven and Earth, was enough to dominate and awe all around them, just with their presence.
In reality, Innate Realm Cultivators’ absorption of Heaven and Earth Power was not very effective.
But right now, the room inhabited by Yang Fei and Qin Yanyang was continuously drawing in Power from their surroundings.
Why was this? What were the two of them doing to achieve such an extraordinary effect?
Unable to control his curiosity, Qin Huai’an started moving towards the room.
