Chapter Ninety-Two: Uncle-Master Tian Kills

  The poor Tao returned home in a rage and went to see his grandfather. He saw his grandfather sitting dejectedly in a wheelchair, staring at a pot of flowers outside the window. His anger suddenly disappeared, replaced by sympathy for this old general who had once dominated the battlefield and wielded great power on the continent.

  "Grandpa, I'm back!" The poor Taoist walked up to him and said softly

  "Ha!" The old man smiled and said: "Look, our family's Qianli horse is back! Welcome! You are now a famous general on the mainland!"

  "Heh heh!" The poor Taoist chuckled and said: "Grandfather, you're teasing me too!"

  "Oh! Who else has such great insight besides me?" Grandpa smiled and said: "Not many people can tell that you're awesome!"

  "Cut! Not even Nicholas this rascal!" The poor Taoist scolded indignantly.

  "What did he do to offend you?" Grandpa said in surprise: "He can actually make you so angry, Nicholas really has some skill!"

  "Grandpa, are you still praising him? I'm almost driven mad by him!" The poor Taoist smiled wryly: "This guy publicly gave me his paired sword and said that from now on, I am the number one general of the continent! Isn't this asking for trouble?"

  "Really? Did he really say that?" Grandpa asked in surprise

  "Of course!"

  "You're in big trouble from now on!" Grandfather said seriously: "The Great Han Dynasty was founded by military power, most soldiers are hot-blooded fanatics, no one yields to anyone. Now you, a young kid, have gained such fame, they will be jealous and stop at nothing!"

  "Then let's just settle this once and for all!" The poor Taoist said in anger.

  "Haha! Your three victories over Shi Yuan Erlang have already deeply impressed everyone, I reckon they won't dare to challenge you to a duel, that's just asking for death. But what about those guys from the Military Academy? Hehe! They'll definitely be looking to take care of you!" Grandfather said with schadenfreude.

  "Grandpa! Why do I feel like you're gloating? Are you happy that I'm in trouble?"

  "Haha!" Grandpa laughed and said: "I believe that with your skills, those guys will definitely be the unlucky ones. This is a great opportunity for me to get a good understanding of your methods!"

  "Cut! I've been toyed with to death by them, you're done!" The poor Dao said dejectedly.

  "How could they, they're all my students, won't give me any face!"

  "Oh! I forgot you're the principal of Wang's Military Academy, you have to help me stop your students!"

  "Haha! Let's talk about this later, what are your plans for the future?" Grandpa changed the subject.

  "Go and enjoy your life freely!"

  "How long do you want to live a carefree life? Until you die of old age there?" Grandfather asked discontentedly.

  "Cut! I'm just 12 years old, you want me to go onto the battlefield now?"

  "No! I want you back, to study at the Intermediate Magic Martial Academy!"

  "Huh? Does that guy have the qualifications to teach me?" The poor Taoist asked disdainfully.

  "I know your talent may be better than the teachers inside, but it won't hurt to go through some systematic learning, and you need to build relationships with your classmates, which will be very beneficial for your future development!"

  "Huh? What about my future development?" The poor Taoist asked strangely: "You won't arrange what I'll be doing in the future right now, will you?"

  "You are a descendant of the Long family, and from now on, you only have one path to take, which is to join the army. Any adult male in the Long family can only join the army and cannot do anything else. This is the ancestral rule! No discussion!" Grandfather said sternly

  "Alright! Alright! Isn't joining the army enough? Don't be angry!" The poor monk couldn't bear to see him get angry, so he softened his tone.

  "Ah! You know that's good, I can tell you, all those who disobeyed the ancestors' teachings were expelled from the family, including my own brother!" Grandfather said with a heavy heart.

  "What's going on?!" I knew Grandfather was intentionally telling me something.

  "This is a family scandal, your father doesn't even know much about it, but I had a premonition that you would make use of him, so I'm telling you especially, remember to keep it strictly confidential. Don't even tell your parents!"

  "Yes! Grandpa, I know what to do!"

  "That's good! My younger brother is a prodigal son, his martial arts talent is not inferior to mine, but he is lazy by nature, unlearned and unskilled. He has been wandering around the various countries of the mainland since he grew up. Our family has tried to recruit him back home several times to lead the army, but he refused to return. Finally, he enraged my father, who expelled him from the house. But he didn't think it was shameful, instead, he thought it was glorious and became even more unbridled. However, he forgot that without the backing of his family, he was nothing. As a result, he was framed by his enemies, not only was his reputation ruined, but he almost lost his life. When I was sent by my father to secretly bring people to rescue him, his once proud face had already been beaten into a pulp. He refused my request to return to the family and disappeared from public view alone. His only request to me was to take care of his enemies and not let them die early!"

  "Has personality! I like it!" The poor Taoist smiled and said: "I suppose he will repay this debt a hundred times in the future?"

  "You guys are really imaginative! Even your ideas are the same." Grandpa smiled and said, "Not bad, his enemy was a member of the royal family of a small country. He assassinated all the members of the royal family one by one until finally killing that enemy! Have you thought of anything?"

  "Heavens! I couldn't help but take a cold breath."

  Tian Sha is the last of the five great powers on the mainland, a ruthless killer who has killed hundreds of royal family members from various countries to date. He is the only assassin on the continent who dares to openly accept tasks to assassinate royalty. His bounty at the Adventurer's Guild has reached nearly 200 million gold coins! No wonder, since he always clashes with royalty! Every royal family that dies adds a huge sum to his price, accumulating to this amount over time. Yet, he is still alive and well, rumored to be a super warrior who has reached the level of a Sword God, although it has never been confirmed. Who would have thought that he was actually my uncle's grandfather!

  "Not bad, that was his masterpiece!" Grandpa smiled and said: "Unexpected, right?"

  "Unexpected! It's really too unexpected, but doesn't anyone else know his identity?" The poor Taoist asked curiously: "His identity shouldn't be difficult to guess, right? His famous work is obviously about revenge, and from this perspective, who wouldn't know it's him? After all, such a mastermind is rarely seen!"

  "Haha! When we rescued him, we left a fake corpse to pretend it was him. People thought he was dead, and when he started taking revenge, it was already several years later. Who would have guessed?"

  "How did you know then?" The poor Tao suddenly understood and said: "Could it be that you are in contact with each other?"

  "Hehe! Without his help, could a crippled me have killed my way back from the enemy's territory?" Grandfather said: "At that time, in order to help me, he made more than a dozen moves, killing all the enemy leaders. However, because of the excessive exertion, he also suffered quite serious injuries. We met once at that time!"

  "It's really unexpected, I didn't think that all five top-notch powerhouses on the mainland would have a connection with our family!" The poor Taoist couldn't help but exclaim.

  "That trash Sword God can forget it, I'd rather have no connection with him, otherwise how would I be crippled?" Grandfather said indignantly: "Now I only have a deep-seated hatred connected to him!"

  "Look at your leg! Grandfather, I can treat you!" The poor monk only then remembered the purpose of his visit this time.

  "Really?" Grandpa said excitedly, "Don't tease me!"

  "No, I wouldn't dare! Look!" As he spoke, the poor monk took out a bottle of the best purple crystal bee honey.

  That time I went to the old nest of the Purple Crystal Bees, all the honey I collected was in large bottles of one kilogram each. After returning, I divided each bottle into ten portions, which is about two taels per bottle. However, the bottles were different according to the grade of the honey. Of course, because there weren't enough high-grade bottles, most of it was still stored in the original large bottles and hadn't been poured out. This time, the small bottle I gave to Grandfather was filled with honey from the Purple Crystal Bees' royal hive, and it was placed in a bottle made of water-elemental magic crystal stone. The value of the bottle alone is tens of millions, not just for show, but also to better protect it, because the magical elements in this honey are really too abundant! To the point where they can escape through ordinary bottles. Only water-elemental magic crystal stone can guarantee that the magical elements in the Purple Crystal Bees' royal honey won't be lost.

  "What's this?" Grandpa asked in puzzlement.

  "Amethyst Crystal Bee Honey!" I said proudly, "You have to keep it a secret too! Besides you, the ones I gave to my mother and the queen were all Amethyst Crystal Bee King Honey, a whole different grade!"

  Grandfather held the bottle with both hands trembling, speechless for a long time. Finally, he said to me with tears in his eyes: "Remember, the mainland will soon have a sixth strong man, a strong man who will always cover you!"

  Finally! Today I've gained something truly valuable!
