Chapter 656: Chapter 657: Fight!

The Speedy Imperial Vessel of the Huaxia Empire flew swiftly like a streak of light, and in just a brief moment, it had already arrived at the Huaxia Imperial Palace.

After returning to the Huaxia Imperial Palace, Lin Qian led Ye Xin straight to the bedchamber to visit his comatose father’s room.

At this moment, Lin Di was still in a deep sleep, with his mother Yun Yunyan ever-present by his side.

Upon seeing her son return, Yun Yunyan’s face lit up with joy, “Qianer, you’re back!”

“What, Mother, you just found out? The Three Elders have already arrived at the Huaxia Imperial Palace ahead of time; didn’t you know?”

“Ah, the three uncles have already returned?” Seeing her son say so, Yun Yunyan’s face showed sheer delight as she asked.

Lin Qian nodded, and after a brief investigation, he knew where his maternal grandfather was.

“Xinxin, keep Mother company for a while, I’m going to find Grandfather.” Afterward, Lin Qian turned and spoke to Ye Xin.

Ye Xin nodded and said to Lin Qian, “Go ahead, I will accompany Auntie for a while and talk about the events of the past few days.”

After hearing Ye Xin’s response, Lin Qian nodded, turned around, and left the room to go to his maternal grandfather Yun Fan’s location.

Bang!

After Lin Qian left, the door closed, and at this moment, Ye Xin realized that Yun Yunyan was examining her up and down with a smile on her face, revealing a playful grin.

Being stared at by Yun Yunyan made Ye Xin feel somewhat uncomfortable, fidgeting unnaturally, “Auntie, why are you looking at me like that?”

“Why call me Auntie and be so distant? Although you and Qianer don’t have the name of husband and wife, you already have the reality of it, so you can call me Mother,” Yun Yunyan warmly stepped forward and took her hand as soon as Ye Xin spoke.

With that, Ye Xin understood what the other was implying; her cheeks burned with embarrassment as she hung her head low, “Auntie, what are you saying…”

“Xinxin, still calling me Auntie?” Yun Yunyan looked at her with expectation, and after Ye Xin’s lips quivered for a while, she finally whispered softly, “Mother…”

“Ai!” Yun Yunyan immediately beamed with joy, clutching Ye Xin’s hand tightly and asked softly, “Xinxin, when will you and Qianer have a little baby?”

“Ah?” Ye Xin’s entire body flushed with heat, her mind blank, completely unsure of what to say, “Aunt… Mother, let’s… talk about the Western Continent instead.”

Unaware of what his mother was doing to Ye Xin inside the room, Lin Qian had already made his way straight to a courtyard.

Inside the courtyard, his maternal grandmother Yun Rong was amusing herself by playing with the fish in the pond. Seeing Lin Qian enter, she smiled, “Has Qianer returned?”

“Yes, Grandmother, your grandson needs to speak with Grandfather.” Seeing his grandmother, Lin Qian nodded his head, paid his respects, and then approached the house door to knock lightly.

“Why stand on ceremony within family, come in quickly.”

Upon hearing his grandfather’s voice, Lin Qian responded and stepped inside.

After pushing open the room door, Lin Qian immediately laid eyes on his maternal grandfather sitting at a square table with three elders.

The table was laden with delicate porcelain dishes, filled with spicy fried wings, spicy hamburger wings, super chicken popcorn, Huaxia chicken rolls, and so on.

At that moment, his grandfather and the three elders were thoroughly enjoying themselves, with an extra-large bottle of cola placed on the side.

As Lin Qian watched in astonishment, his grandfather and the elders poured the cola into tiny wine cups, sipped at it contentedly, and followed each sip with a bite of fried chicken.

It was apparent that his grandfather and the three elders were indulging in Huaxia’s finger-licking chicken.

“Grandfather, cola is more refreshing when it’s chilled and drunk in big gulps,” Lin Qian said as he walked into the room and saw how his grandfather and the others were tasting their cola, feeling somewhat confused.

However, upon hearing Lin Qian’s words, Yun Fan just waved his hands and said to his grandson, “Qianer, that’s where you’re wrong. Such a delicious beverage like cola must be savored slowly.”

Lin Qian chose not to comment on his grandfather’s peculiarity and simply stated, “The Jiang family has made a move, joining forces with Jinhua Commerce and six other powers. They’re closing in on the territories of the Central Domain, ready to strike at any moment.”

Upon hearing this, Yun Fan’s expression tightened and, after a moment, he asked, “Qianer, this matter shouldn’t need to trouble your grandfather, right? Why did you come to see me in person?”

“Yuanling Commerce is also a part of it, and Saint Spirit Sect is among them.”

As Lin Qian spoke the words, Yun Fan stiffened, and likewise, the faces of the three elders who sat around the square table changed.

Yuanling Commerce had a significant history with Yun Fan, but fortunately, his friend Lingtian had already left Yuanling Commerce. And this old friend had also joined the Huaxia Empire through Yun Fan’s recommendation, becoming part of it, taking charge of business affairs and helping to manage the territories of the Yun family in the Central Domain.

This alliance of eight forces, with Yuanling Commerce among them, was indeed troublesome.

By saying this, Lin Qian seemed to be signaling to his grandfather to consider whether to show leniency toward Yuanling Commerce.

As for another group, Saint Spirit Sect, Yun Fan had been a disciple of the Sect, and the three elders had also entered it for cultivation!

Saint Spirit Sect was, after all, Yun Fan’s former Sect.

Therefore, Lin Qian had to ask whether his grandfather needed to show mercy toward Saint Spirit Sect.

Yun Fan remained silent, looking up at the three old brothers before him. The elders exchanged glances before Fang Shuiwen spoke bluntly, “Master, if the others disregard old ties and act without righteousness, why should we show kindness?”

Yun Fan nodded, looking at Lin Qian and said, “Qianer, now you are the lord of the Huaxia Empire, and you are my dear grandson. Grandfather knows this empire is your blood, sweat, and tears. Anyone who dares covet my grandson’s hard work, kill!”

“Your grandfather and the three of them will personally go to the battlefield.”

After hearing Yun Fan’s words, Lin Qian fell silent, deeply moved by his grandfather’s stance which he understood very well.

“Grandfather, about going onto the battlefield…” Just as Lin Qian hesitated, Yun Fan quickly gestured.

“Don’t underestimate your grandfather’s experience in countless battles. If you’re worried, just send some more people under your grandfather’s command,” Yun Fan said, turning to look at the three elders with a relaxed demeanor, “Having an impressive grandson is invaluable. If we want a dozen or so experts from the Transcendence Realm, it will be easy.”

Hearing his grandfather’s words made Lin Qian both laugh and cry; he shook his head and then his expression hardened, “Since they want to fight, let’s fight!”

Yun Fan, hearing this, also nodded with a firm expression, looking at his grandson, “Let’s fight!”
