BXBX NOVEL Chapter 192: A talk with the oldman!
With a smile, he stopped the car and the other car also stopped. *thud* He came out of the car and saw Chi Miya stepping out of the car.
"Tian." With an excited smile, Chi Miya walked towards Zhao Tian and hugged him. "When did you come back?"
"Just yesterday. By the way, what are you doing here?"
Chi Miya gave a kiss on his neck as she spoke, "I came to drop Shui'er here because, you know, she is friends with Ning Yueli. And it seems like an exam is coming, and they want to group study."
"Oh...I see."
Chi Miya spoke with a teasing smile "And I heard you got three women in one night in Zhenzhu??"
Zhao Tian just chuckled. "Well, things happened."
"Yeah, I heard from Huang."
...
*tap* Zhao Tian entered the grand mansion. As he stepped into the spacious hall Li Jie, who was in the hall, stood up with a smile, "Tian."
"Old man."
"Let's go upstairs." Li Jie spoke, and both of them made their way to the stairs.
Li Jie glanced at Zhao Tian and asked, "How is Mei Xiu now?"
Zhao Tian let out a soft sigh. "Well, yesterday I stayed with her, 'consoling' her. And currently she is in my home with my mom and sister."
Hearing this, Li Jie gave a nod. "Yeah, being with others will be a good thing for her considering her current condition. Being alone would only affect her."
"Yeah," Zhao Tian muttered as they continued climbing the stairs.
A deep sigh escaped Li Jie's lips as he spoke, "I still remember the day Haoran died, Mei Xiu's grandfather. He was a great friend of mine and served with me in the military."
"Hope her soul rests in peace and finds him in the afterlife."
*creek* They quickly entered a room and Zhao Tian comfortably sat on one of the couches. As Li Jie settled opposite him, Zhao Tian asked, "What do you want to talk with me, old man?"
Li Jie gave a slight nod as he spoke. "I talked with Li Qianzhi a little, before she passed away the next day. At that time, she talked about, How you ask her to eat a pill to cure her disease."
Zhao Tian said, "Yeah, I offered her a healing pill, but she rejected it."
Li Jie chuckled hearing this: "It seems like she got tired of life without her husband, and her only worry was her granddaughter."
"And since she is in a relationship with you now, her worries are gone, so she passed away quietly."
With a shake of his head, he continued "Well, the thing I called you for is to ask, will you say to Mei Xiu about the cultivation world or teach her about cultivation?"
Zhao Tian had a slight frown on his face. "Her grandmother told you to ask me that."
Li Jie nodded his head "Yeah, but I am also curious."
Leaning back on the couch, Zhao Tian said, "Obviously, I will tell her about that."
LiJie replied, "Inform me when you tell her about that."
Huh? Zhao Tian raised an eyebrow upon hearing this: "I need to tell you when I tell her about cultivation? Why?"
Li Jie sighed heavily "I can't tell you the reason for now. Just inform me at that time."
Zhao Tian's frown deepened seeing the old man acting mysteriously, and at this time, Li Jie spoke, changing the topic of conversation. "By the way, Chi Miya is also your girlfriend, right? I heard Chi Shui talking to Yueli about that."
Zhao Tian sighed in his heart, seeing him change the topic, and he also played along, not wanting to pry into his mysteriousness.
"Yeah, she is."
Li Jie squinted his eyes "I have heard people in Zhenzhu have multiple women. So, it's okay for cultivators, I guess. and I don't want to interfere in your romantic life."
Zhao Tian just shrugged, and at this time, Li Jie spoke, "Did Chi Miya become a cultivator recently?"
Hm? Zhao Tian narrowed his gaze "How did you know that?"
Li Jie chuckled. "I am a military man, Tian. I have seen and worked with many cultivators during my time in military."
"So even though I am not a cultivator, I can sense that strong aura from someone. But I couldn't find that from you, maybe because you suppressed your energy at that time."
Zhao Tian smiled upon hearing this, and he was indeed hiding his cultivation at that time with Xia Shenyi's seal so as not to attract anyone in the modern world.
Li Jie spoke, "That's all I mainly want to talk with you but you said that you want to talk about Zuiye. What is that?"
Zhao Tian nodded his head "I want to know about Aunt Zuiye's origins."
H-Huh? Li Jie was stunned to hear this "Her origin?"
"Yeah, where is she from, and who are her actual parents?"
Li Jie's eyes trembled and he lowered his gaze as a mutter left his lips "How did you know... she is not my daughter."
Zhao Tian let out a soft sigh "I will answer for this later. Now, I just want to know how she ended up in your hands."
Li Jie took a deep breath, controlling his intense emotions as he began to speak "It was... like 35 years ago."
"At that time, the government was still not in good terms with the Holy Land of Zhenzhu. So the President of our nation was planning to go to Zhenzhu to have a peace talk with the Emperor."
"And us high officials in the military were also with him for the negotiation purpose and also as body guards for him."
"On one night, we and several other military personnel camped outside that forest surrounding Zhenzhu. We were waiting for some protection from the Emperor side to enter the deadly forest filled with Astral beasts."
"Even Haochen was also with me that night and at that time..."
Don't worry I will upload in a few hours.
