Chapter 228: Your Grandfather?
“Hahaha, kid, your strength is not bad. You’re actually able to take my punch. It seems that you are not arrogant to be able to provoke those old monsters.”
A faint chuckle slowly sounded. Su Yi and the old man who had unmasked his face withdrew their fists and palms.
Su Yi slowly bowed to the old man and said, “senior, thank you for letting me win.”
Although the old man in front of him had launched a sneak attack on him, he did not use any spells at all. Moreover, there was no killing intent from anyone during the exchange of blows. It was as though the entire thing was a test.
Moreover, he could see from the corner of his eyes that Nie Ling had a speechless expression on her face. There was no solemness or other expression. He could determine that the old man in front of him was very likely a member of the Nie family.
Although he was very surprised that the Nie family had such an old man, this encounter should be to test his strength.
Now, he should have passed the other party’s approval?
At this time, Nie Ling walked forward with a face full of anger. She looked at the old man and said coquettishly, “grandfather, what are you doing? Su Yi is our guest. What if you scare him?”
Hearing this, Nie Dingtian’s face turned black again. The way he looked at Su Yi became unfriendly.
After being stared at by this old man, he felt as if he was being stared at by an eagle. He suddenly felt a chill on his back. He did not know why the old man suddenly changed his expression.
Moreover, from the way Nie Ling addressed him just now, this old man in front of him was her grandfather?
His eyes widened as he looked at Nie Dingtian. Then, he looked at Nie Ling with a look of disbelief.
“You… you are fellow Daoist Nie’s grandfather?” he asked with some uncertainty.
At first, he thought that the other party might be an elder of the Nie family or something. He did not expect that it would actually be Nie Ling’s grandfather, and Nie Ling’s father was also the patriarch of the Nie family…
The old man snorted lightly, then stroked his short gray beard and said indifferently, “that’s right. I am Nie Dingtian. I am Nie Ling’s grandfather, and also the current father of the Nie family.”
Then, Su Yi cupped his fists and saluted, formally greeting him, “greetings, Senior Nie.”
Whether it was the other party’s identity or strength, they were both worthy of him calling him senior, not to mention that the other party was Nie Ling’s grandfather.
“Hmph, come with me. This isn’t the place to talk.”
Nie Dingtian lightly shouted, as if he was still somewhat uncomfortable with Nie Ling’s anger towards him just now. When he thought of the obedient girl that he had raised for nearly twenty years being bullied by a stinky brat, old master Nie felt a wave of discomfort in his heart.
However, he noticed the way Nie Ling and Su Yi addressed each other. It was obvious that his granddaughter was already extremely supportive of him, but why was she still addressing him as a fellow Daoist? Could it be..
He glanced at Nie Ling from the corner of his eye and frowned. Then, a bold thought appeared in his heart. Could it be that his little girl was just being wishful?
His gaze slightly focused, and no one knew what he was thinking.
From the words of his little girl, it could be seen that she was very protective of that stinky brat, Su Yi. However, that stinky brat did not seem to have that kind of feeling towards his precious little girl.
Aiya, the matter of young people is a little difficult to handle.
Old Master Nie’s gaze looked at Nie Ling, and a trace of heartache flashed through his eyes.
…
Soon, the three of them walked through the cool path and arrived at a pavilion. Old Master Nie sat face to face with Su Yi.
Nie Ling sat beside Su Yi. Seeing this, Old Master Nie secretly sighed in his heart.
He did not want to see his granddaughter crying alone in the end. The most important thing was the thoughts of this brat in front of him.
If he really did not have any thoughts towards his precious granddaughter, he would have to be an evil person no matter what.
“Tell me, how did you offend those old bastards?”
Old Master Nie’s gaze was sharp as he looked at Su Yi and asked in a tone that could not be refuted.
When he heard this, he nodded and slowly explained.
From the beginning, he was invited by the city lord, and then he entered a forbidden land. Later, he made a fool of the other party or something, and in the end, he became a wanted man.
The more Old Master Nie listened, the darker his expression became. He waved his large hand and slammed it on the table.
Pa!
The teacups on the table jumped from his slap. Su Yi’s voice suddenly stopped, and the atmosphere became somewhat solemn.
Just when Nie Ling saw that things were not looking good and wanted to come out and say a few good words to adjust the atmosphere.
Old Master Nie suddenly burst into laughter.
“Hahaha, that group of old fellows was actually fooled by a kid. It’s so funny, it’s too embarrassing.”
“Uhh…”
The originally solemn atmosphere actually became somewhat awkward after the sudden shift.
Even Nie Ling looked at Old Man Nie in surprise, as if it was the first time she saw her grandfather.
“Senior Nie, what are you…” Su Yi was confused. He thought that Senior Nie had some kind of relationship with those old monsters, but seeing Nie Dingtian’s smile, he could not help but drop his jaw.
Friendship? Forget it. It’s already good that there’s no enmity.
At this time, Nie Dingtian also realized that he had lost his composure. He stopped his laughter, coughed, and then looked at Su Yi and praised him.
“Kid, you’re pretty good. Those old guys are smarter. You can actually play with them. I think you must have a lot of tricks.”
Hearing this, Su Yi nodded with a smile and said lightly, “that’s right. I did use some tricks.”
He did not say what tricks he used. After all, there were some things that could not be fully revealed.
Elder Nie was not a fool. Naturally, he did not pursue the matter. On the contrary, the fact that those old guys were fooled by a kid made him feel good.
If he saw them in the future, he would definitely be able to laugh at them.
At this time, Nie Ling looked at Nie Dingtian, who was smiling, and the corners of her eyes twitched. Then, she looked at Su Yi and said indifferently, “fellow Daoist Su, don’t look at my grandfather’s frivolous appearance. In fact, he’s very powerful. For example, when those old guys came to our house today, it was grandfather who chased them away.”
Hearing Nie Ling’s words, Su Yi’s gaze was shocked. Then, he stood up and bowed to Old Man Nie.
“Thank you for your help, Elder Nie.”
Seeing this, Nie Dingtian waved his hand and said indifferently, “it’s a small matter. I just let them think that they have more important things to prepare for. It’s not worth wasting time on a junior like you, so they left.”
Nie Dingtian did not think much of it. Compared to that matter, going all out to deal with a junior was a joke.
However, it did not sound like that to Su Yi. He knew that those old monsters were not simply looking for him to regain their dignity.
They were looking for a treasure like the Jade Lotus of Destiny.
However, now, Old Master Nie said that the other party had temporarily put his matter aside. What was more important than the Jade Lotus of Destiny?
He frowned slightly and looked at Nie Dingtian.
“Elder Nie, what is the more important matter?”
