39: Jiang Yilong arrives

Jiang Yilong said with some anger, "That rebellious son! I even let him take the position of Family Head, so what on earth does he want? These past few years, your two Grand-uncles have had a lot of complaints. Only by prioritizing resources for their descendants have I been able to keep them quiet."

"I feel the problem definitely lies with Ling Yi, but as for what exactly he's hiding, no one knows."

Shiyuan Village

The two families of Shi Baoshi Feng had their fill and went back to rest. Only Jiang Lingyi's Family and Lin Zhennan remained. Jiang Shanba, rarely getting to see Jiang Ye, wanted to stay a bit longer.

Jiang Shanba laughed and said, "Little Ye, you're sixteen this year. Come! Have a drink with your grandfather and let's chat."

Bai Luolan said with some dissatisfaction, "You old geezer! How old is he that you're letting him drink?"

"He's already sixteen this year; he can have a little. Stop nagging!"

"Don't you dare shout here! If you wake up my granddaughter, I'll skin you alive!"

"Oh, come on! Just put her on the bed to sleep. You've been holding her all day."

"Mind your own business!"

At that moment, someone walked into the courtyard, leaving everyone stunned. Jiang Yilong had actually appeared here.

Jiang Lingyi hurriedly stood up and said, "Grandfather! Why are you here?"

Jiang Yilong looked at Jiang Ye and asked with some confusion, "Who is this child?"

Jiang Shanba said, "An adopted son Ling Yi took in."

Jiang Yilong scrutinized Jiang Ye and said, "Do you take me for a fool? He looks exactly like Ling Yi did when he was a child."

Jiang Lingyi knew he couldn't hide it any longer and hurriedly said, "Little Ye, greet him. This is your Great-Grandfather. Go and get another set of bowls and chopsticks."

Jiang Ye was stunned for a moment. He had seen Jiang Yilong once before, and that time Jiang Shanba had almost started a fight with him.

"Oh, hello Great-Grandfather! I'll get you a bowl. Let's have a drink together; we're having a Tiger Feast tonight."

Jiang Ye brought him the bowls and chopsticks, poured some wine, and sat down next to Jiang Shanba. Jiang Yilong looked at him and asked, "How old are you this year?"

"Sixteen."

"Sixteen? Then back then..." Jiang Yilong looked toward Jiang Lingyi, clearly wanting an answer.

Jiang Lingyi nodded and said, "Yes! He was fine back then. Because his constitution was a bit special, my wife and I immediately hid him here."

"What exactly happened?" Jiang Yilong asked, puzzled.

"He has a Pure Yang Body. I was worried that none of us would be able to protect him."

"What did you say!"

Jiang Yilong was shocked by this answer and finally understood their abnormal behavior over the years. He turned to Jiang Ye and asked, "What... what is your current Realm?"

"I just achieved a Breakthrough to the Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm a few days ago."

"The Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm? You..." Jiang Yilong was quite excited now. "Good, good! No one else knows about his situation besides you all, right?"

Jiang Lingyi said, "No. I originally wanted to wait until he grew up before seeing you all, but back then, his Pure Yang Body was about to undergo Awakening. I had no choice but to secretly take the Family's assets."

"Good, good, good! You did well to take them. At least he wasn't held back; otherwise, you would have been a sinner of the Jiang Family. Reaching the Ninth Stage of the Heavenly Profound Realm at sixteen—even those so-called Geniuses of the Upper Profound Domain are nothing more than this! Hahahaha!"

Jiang Shanba asked, "Ling Yi, what are your plans now?"

"Let him train outside for a bit. It's been so many years, and others are bound to start speculating. Plus, with the commotion caused by my recent Breakthrough, if I don't appear in the Middle Profound Domain soon, I'm afraid Little Ye will be discovered quickly."

"But he..."
