Chapter 219 Surprise
An hour had passed since Xu San Zhien met Bai Chen, knelt down, and apologised to Bai Chen with what Xu Sien Yi, his father, told him to say.
At the moment, Xu San Zhien was in the first living room. He was sitting on a high-quality fur sofa that was not much different from the third living room.
The sixty-five-year-old man’s face was full of happiness. It was quite different from the pale face full of fear from before.
The reason why he’d changed so much was Bai Chen was the boyfriend of Xu Xue Ning, his eldest granddaughter.
Thinking that Bai Chen was a legendary realm cultivator, how could he not be happy? One of the legends in the cultivator world was his granddaughter’s boyfriend!
How would one feel to have a legendary realm cultivator, who was almighty and glorious, as one’s granddaughter’s boyfriend?
It would be odd to not be happy.
“Father, what is this about?” Xu Sin Xiao asked.
Of course, Xu San Zhien was not in the first living room alone. Xu Sin Xiao was there too.
There were also Xu Jing Xie and Xu Sin Song. Xu Sin Song was Xu Sin Xiao’s younger brother, the second son of Xu San Zhien.
The reason why Xu Sin Song was here was that he was one of the high-ranking members of the Xu family. He would have to be present when something important happened, like this matter about Xu Xue Ning’s boyfriend.
Of course, there were other high-ranking members too, not only Xu Sing Song. However, he was the only one who had been called to come here.
The other ones had not been called. Thus, it was only normal for them to be absent now.
“That’s right, father. What is this about? Please explain.”
Xu Jing Xie looked at her father-in-law and asked this out of curiosity. She wanted to know more about Bai Chen, her eldest daughter’s boyfriend.
For the past hour, she had been dining with him. Her father-in-law had been very polite and respectful to him.
Even though she and Xu Sin Xiao had been asking him about it since they were in the third living room, Xu San Zhien had not said a word about it. He just said that he would tell them later.
She and her husband had also asked Xu Xue Ning about Bai Chen’s identity; the only answer they had gotten was her head shaking. It was obvious that their daughter did not want to talk about it.
That was why Xu Jing Xie and Xu San Xiao had come to Xu San Zhien in the first living room to ask. It was at the same time that Xu San Zhien had called Xu Sin Song there.
“What is the fuss, big brother, sister-in-law, father?” Xu Sin Song asked out of pure curiosity because he did not know anything. He sat beside Xu Sin Xiao and Xu Jing Xie.
Xu San Zhien looked at all three of them. There was a smile at the corners of his mouth. “Sin Xiao and Jing Xie, you must be thinking that I’d gone mad to have done what I did an hour ago, right?”
“Yes.” Xu Sin Xiao nodded. How could he not think that after seeing his father kneel down before the younger man who was Xu Xue Ning’s boyfriend?
“Then I’ll explain it to you. Xu Xue Ning’s boyfriend isn’t a normal person. He’s a cultivator!” Xu San Zhien said. His voice was full of excitement and respect.
“What?!?” Xu Sin Xiao and Xu Jing Xie’s eyes widened with bewilderment.
“A…A cultivator?” Xu Sin Xiao spoke with a trembling voice.
Xu Sin Song was the same. He had already seen Bai Chen, Xu Xue Ning’s boyfriend before this. He was also one of the people who had dined at the same table as Bai Chen in the past hour.
It was obvious that they all knew about cultivators, though not much.
They knew that cultivators were many times stronger than normal people. If they reached a certain level, they could ride on their swords and fly up into the sky. They could even kill a man as easily as killing an ant!
If they were at a higher level, they could walk barefooted in thin air and crush a mountain with their palms!
Knowing this, how could they not be amazed that Bai Chen was also a cultivator?!?
“I told you that Xue Er’s boyfriend is a cultivator!” Xu San Zhien repeated. “And he’s not just normal one. He is one of the legends. He’s even stronger than your grandfather!”
“......”
Hearing what Xu San Zhien said, Xu Sin Xiao, Xu Jing Xie, and Xu Sin Song were rendered speechless. Their facial expressions changed. They trembled hard as if they had been shaken by a giant’s hand.
‘One of the legends’. These words affected them greatly. They were the Xu family’s high-ranking members—they all knew full well how strong their grandfather, Xu Sien Yi, who was a sky-soaring realm cultivator, was. He could walk on thin air barefooted.
They also knew that in the cultivator world, there were only three people in China who were stronger than their grandfather was right now.
‘Legendary’ was what people called them!
“F…Father, is this true?!?”
A moment later, Xu Sin Xiao gulped down his saliva. He stared at his father and asked this with a trembling voice. He was not sure if it was because of excitement or shock.
Xu Jing Xie and Xu Sin Song were waiting anxiously for the answer as well. Their hearts beat so strongly, they were practically arrhythmic.
Xu San Zhien was not surprised at their reactions because it was just like how he had felt previously.
“Of course, it’s true. I’ll tell you what happened to your grandfather…” he said with a serious tone.
Then, he started to tell them what had happened to the old man Xu Sien Yi.
After he was done, they were all shocked with their eyes and mouths wide open. Their hearts pounded. Their bodies shivered unstoppably. Their breathing sped up.
“H…How is grandfather now?”
Xu Jing Xie, who was the first to gather all her senses, asked about the condition of the old man Xu Sien Yi with concern.
Hearing her, Xu Sin Xiao and Xu Sin Song started to calm down and listen attentively.
“He’s fine. He is just still unconscious.” Xu San Zhien said.
Half an hour before this, he had gone to see Xu Sien Yi and had already had the family’s doctor take care of him
“Remember, treat elder Bai Chen well. Don’t you dare anger him. Go inform everyone!” Xu San Zhien said with an utterly serious tone.
“Yes!” all three of them replied.
At the moment, their opinions about Bai Chen had changed. They now respected him a great deal!
