Return of the Immortal Emperor Daddy novel Chapter 76

Chapter 76: Daddy Where Are We Going Chapter 76

"Grandpa, you’re being ridiculous again." Even a strong woman like Xia Qian was still a lady at heart. Hearing Xiao Liang’s words, she stamped her foot shyly.

"Alright, alright, I’ll stop." Xiao Liang laughed. He could tell his granddaughter had taken a liking to Wu Tian, but then again, that seemed only natural. After all, what kind of man was Wu Tian? How could he be compared to any ordinary man of this world?

The Five Surnames and Seven Families were indeed powerful, but among their younger generation, there were few formidable individuals. Even the most talented of the Li family’s current generation, hailed as the "Young Heavenly Khan," paled in comparison to Wu Tian in Xiao Liang’s eyes.

If I were a woman, I’d probably fall for Wu Tian as well, Xiao Liang thought to himself.

Fortunately, Wu Tian was unaware of Xiao Liang’s thoughts; otherwise, this meal would have been difficult to swallow. Halfway through the meal, Xiao Liang could no longer suppress his curiosity. "Mr. Wu Tian," he asked, "your Martial Path seems to differ greatly from the ones I know. What’s the reason for this?"

Upon hearing this, Wu Tian smiled. "Have you ever read *Journey to the West*?"

"Of course," Xiao Liang and Xia Qian both nodded. Who didn’t know of *Journey to the West*?

With a calm face and a faint smile, Wu Tian said, "Guanyin once told Xuanzang, ’You preach the Lesser Vehicle of Buddhism, which cannot grant salvation to the souls of the dead. I possess the three canons of Mahayana Buddhism, which can deliver them from suffering and grant them everlasting life.’"

Xiao Liang and Xia Qian were stunned. Was Wu Tian suggesting that his Martial Path was fundamentally different from the one they knew?

After the meal, Xia Qian escorted Wu Tian home. Xiao Liang remained seated, lost in thought for a long time. A man like Wu Tian was exceedingly rare in the entire Dragon Country—like a divine dragon that shows its head but never its tail. His words couldn’t possibly be false.

Besides the Martial Arts World I know, could there be another? Xiao Liang was astonished. He had thought that getting closer to Wu Tian would help him understand the man better, but the closer he got, the more enigmatic Wu Tian became.

At the same time, Xiao Zhan and Xiao Tian were leaving Yang City in disgrace. A designated clansman from the Lanling Xiao Family was driving. Inside the car, Xiao Tian, having abandoned all pretense of a Young Clan Leader’s dignity, cursed through gritted teeth, "Where on earth did that guy come from? How dare he treat me like that! If it weren’t for him, I, the Young Clan Leader, would have been so imposing today."

Beside him, Xiao Zhan shook his head slightly. Even without Wu Tian, that Seven-Star Dragon Abyss sword would never have acknowledged him. What was there to be imposing about?

"We must keep this from the clan," Xiao Tian said, looking coldly at Xiao Zhan and the driver. "Remember, keep your mouths shut. Your relationship with me is a close one. If word of my humiliation gets out and I lose my position as Young Clan Leader, things won’t go well for you either. Do you understand?"

"Yes," the driver replied anxiously.

Xiao Zhan chuckled to himself. His entire life was the sword. If not for the sword, why would he have ever left the mountain with Xiao Tian?

"Teacher, what do you think?" Xiao Tian asked, looking at Xiao Zhan.

Xiao Zhan nodded.

"Great! Then I’m in the clear," Xiao Tian said, overjoyed.

Disappointment flickered in Xiao Zhan’s eyes. You can’t wrap a fire in paper. The slightest unusual behavior will raise suspicions within the clan. How can this possibly be concealed?

But Xiao Zhan no longer had the heart to think about how to hide it. He looked utterly dejected. My entire life has been devoted to the sword. For the sake of cultivating the Sword Dao, I’ve never even had a girlfriend, let alone touched a woman’s hand. How I’ve dedicated myself to the sword! But why has the sword forsaken me? Why did it let me lose on the Way of the Sword... to a young man?

After Xia Qian dropped Wu Tian off at his doorstep, she left.

Xia Qian’s mind was a tangled mess. I’ve never pursued a guy before. I just hope I’m not annoying Wu Tian.

As for Xia Qian’s thoughts, Wu Tian couldn’t begin to guess them. While he had a unique talent for cultivation, his emotional intelligence was likely that of an idiot.

Wu Tian went to open his front door and found it locked. He glanced at the window; it was also shut tight. He knew instantly who was responsible, but what could such childish tricks do to him?

The little one grew anxious. Do Papa and I have no rapport at all? She blinked her eyes at Wu Tian again.

At that, the little one pouted. Papa, why don’t you understand what I mean? She had already finished her part, "Papa, Papa, where are we going? With you around, I fear neither heaven nor earth." He was supposed to sing the next lines: "Darling, darling, I am your big tree. I’ll spend my life watching the sunrise with you!"
