Chapter One Hundred Seventeen: Finally Seeing Her Grandmother

  At the speed we rode our horses, it took more than an hour to reach the place. Along the way, there were countless gateways and sentry posts. Just the personnel guarding this place numbered over a thousand. It wasn't until I saw this that I finally understood what it means to have strict security!

  The place where we dismounted was in front of a huge stone gate, its exterior resembling the Arc de Triomphe in France, but slightly larger. The relief on top depicted scenes of cavalry battles! Probably because this is the headquarters of the Holy Light Cavalry Regiment?

  Upon entering, there is a huge square with a large fountain in the middle. Surrounding the fountain is a stone staircase leading up the mountain.

  "I'm dizzy, is this the end? You called me here for morning exercise, right?" The poor Daoist couldn't help but complain. As he spoke, he cast a speed buff on himself to keep up with the two of them!

  "We'll be there soon!" Sasha said with a smile.

  "Don't mind this kid, he knocked down dozens of the Royal Guard yesterday and didn't even get tired!" The father said in a fearful tone: "We'd better hurry up, or she'll get impatient, that won't be good!"

  "And him?" Sasha asked, pointing at me.

  "Don't be lazy!" My father said and started speeding up, ignoring me completely!

  "You can either walk slowly or just take this road, I have to go ahead and clear the way for your father, otherwise he will be stopped by others!" Sasha said and followed her father running!

  Dizzy! This pair of thieves must be trying to shake me off! I thought wickedly, no way, I have to keep an eye on him! Thinking of this, I simply used the flight technique. Wuuu... This is a 7th-level spell sealed in the ring! Now I need to find someone to recharge it again, at least several hundred gold coins are gone! How detestable!

  The poor Taoist was watching them from above, but they didn't notice. After Father rushed forward for a while, he deliberately slowed down his pace, and he was also exhausted, after all, he hadn't recovered yet! He started chatting with Sasha! Ah! As expected, I guessed it right! Fortunately, they didn't make any other moves, just talking about something they didn't want me to hear!

  After flying for over ten minutes, I saw another large square with two teams of guards patrolling! It seems to be the place! Hurriedly caught up with my father and the other person, and together we went through the security check!

  "Huh? You're so fast!" Sasha exclaimed!

  "I knew this kid wasn't being honest!" My father angrily asked me: "Were you following us just now?"

  "Ah! En! What?" The poor Taoist pretended to be silly and laughed.

  "How hateful!" Father had no choice but to hurry along!

  Behind this square is a huge palace building, and after walking up nearly twenty meters high steps, the main gate of the palace can be seen. It's really not ordinary! You say that one door deserves to be built seven or eight meters high? Is this place where giants or ogres live?

  As you enter, it's a grand hall, and at the far end of the hall is a statue of the War God riding a dragon! It depicts him riding a dragon in battle. To be honest, this looks extremely foolish to me. When people ride dragons into battle, they're just a hindrance and can't contribute anything useful. With a person on its back, the dragon can't make agile turns or quick movements, and its speed is greatly reduced! As for attacking, it's even more laughable - what can a person with a spear on a dragon's back possibly hit? Even if they get close, the dragon's claws are far more convenient and powerful than any spear in a human hand! This combination is absolutely rubbish! It would be better to separate them.

  While despising the foolishness of the Dragon Knights, we followed Sasha into the interior of the palace, turned N corners and passed through N guards, and finally came to a large gate!

  "The commander is inside! You go in yourself!" Sasha said, and after giving his father a resentful glance, he turned around and left.

  The father looked at Sasha's departing figure with a complex expression, until it disappeared, then let out a deep sigh, and only then lightly knocked on the door.

  "Come in!" A pleasant yet dignified female voice rang out.

  My father and I pushed open the door, and inside was a very large study or office! Near the window, a large desk was placed, behind which sat a beautiful woman in white! I couldn't believe she was my grandmother. She looked like she was about the same age as my mother! You see, mom is an elf, with an extremely long lifespan making her look like she's only in her 20s now! My grandmother was the same, with golden hair down to her shoulders, skin as white as snow, elegant temperament, but the sharp glint in her eyes from time to time made her seem like she had a stern aura about her! In short, she gave off an impression of boundless majesty!

  My father led me in front of the table, bowed and said respectfully: "Hello! Mother!"

  "Hello! Grandma!"

  "Ah!" The icy expression on Grandma's face melted the moment she heard "Nana". She looked at Father with a very kind gaze and said, "Great! I know all about your business! Your hard work makes me so proud! Even when your father was your age, he didn't have the achievements you do now!"

  "Haha!" Upon hearing his mother's praise, Father was visibly delighted and thrilled, he was so excited that all he could do was smile foolishly!

  Seeing him like this, his grandmother shook her head helplessly and stopped paying attention to him, starting to focus on observing the poor Taoist instead!

  I naturally met her gaze, and at first, her eyes were still relatively gentle, but the will to see through my heart was very strong! Unfortunately, my spiritual cultivation is not ordinary, it's been hundreds of years of practice, can't be compared? So she didn't succeed. Immediately, her eyes gradually became sharp, like a sharp arrow, wanting to pierce my heart. After trying in vain, she began to coordinate her facial expression, and then used the oppressive aura of her whole body! For a moment, the temperature of the entire room seemed to drop to an extreme point!

  His father was already under the pressure of his grandmother's aura, and he had begun to waver, after all, he was still in a very weak state! As for him, he was still in a state of ignorance and unawareness, he was strong as he pleased, the clear wind swept across the mountain ridge! No matter how strong the aura was, it was useless to me! It was as if it didn't exist!

  My grandmother saw that I was unmoved, and my father had an injury on his body, so she had to withdraw her imposing aura! My father was weak for a moment, covered in sweat, and looked like he was about to fall over. Just as I was about to support him, I suddenly saw the person in front of me flash by, and my grandmother was already by his side. So fast! My eyesight almost couldn't keep up with her movements! With such incredible footwork, combined with the aura from earlier, I'm guessing that my grandmother has probably reached the realm of a Sword God?

  Just as I was stunned, my grandmother had already helped my father sit down on the sofa next to her. She said to me, "Come and sit down! Little miracle!"

  The poor Taoist walked over and sat down beside his father, saying: "What's so mysterious about me?"

  "My aura is so strong that even your father can't stand it, but you're fine. Isn't that amazing?" Grandma said with a smile.

  "Perhaps I'm just slow-witted?" The poor monk found an excuse!

  "Don't listen to his nonsense!" Father said angrily: "If he is slow in reaction, then Nicholas who was defeated by him would be a stupid pig? Just yesterday, he knocked down more than 20 royal guards of the Megelan Empire! This kid has too many secrets hidden from me!"

  "Everyone has their own secrets!" The poor Taoist said with a serious face: "For example, you and Aunt Sasha!"

  "You little scoundrel!" His father angrily said: "Don't talk nonsense!"

  "Hehe! Alright, stop it," Grandma said with a smile to Father, "You probably don't know about his other heroic deed yesterday?"

  "What great deed?" Father asked.

  "He slapped both of the young masters of the Sevian family in front of everyone!" Grandmother said with a strange tone.

  "What?" Father was shocked: "You rascal, why didn't you tell me earlier? This is a bit troublesome!"

  "Chop! Aren't they just two petty thieves?!" The poor Taoist said disapprovingly: "I've even made an appointment with them for a duel!"

  "Fool!" his father scolded: "Their family has been in charge of the Holy Light Guardian Legion for generations, with hundreds of millions of people under their command. Is that someone you can afford to provoke?"

  "Alright!" said Grandma. "I've already discussed this matter with the head of the Sevyn family, and we both agree that it was just a bunch of kids causing trouble, so the duel is cancelled. However, you need to get along well with others from now on and not cause any more trouble!"

  "Spare them!" The poor Taoist muttered.

  "Who do you think you are?" His father sneered, "Don't think that just because you have some money, you're invincible! Compared to others, you're not much better than a beggar!"

  "Cut!" The poor Taoist said with a pout: "The Golden Warriors have called me to surrender three times, what's so great about these two white silvers who are still mid-level guys?"

  "Ah! I know about your eighteen matches and those three duels, but you can't deal with these two brothers with those tricks!" said the grandmother.

  "Why?!" The poor Taoist asked curiously: "I threw dozens of seventh-level scrolls, even if it's a stone guardian, I can burn them to maturity, how can they withstand?"

  "Our family has a divine artifact passed down through generations - the protection of the Four Elemental Gods. Earth, Wind, Water, Fire, all spells below level 9 in these four systems are completely ignored, and other system spells are fully defended up to level 7! Those scrolls of yours are useless!" The grandmother replied.

  "Ah!" I was startled: "How could I not know about this?"

  "The sacred object of their family has not been used for hundreds of years, and there are not many people who know about it, so it's normal that you don't know!" said the grandmother.

  "I'm not afraid either!" The poor Taoist didn't want to get entangled in this matter, so he said to his grandmother: "It's the first time I've met you, elder, and I don't have anything good to offer. This little bit of honey is something I collected myself, please take it and use it!" As he spoke, he presented a bottle of purple crystal bee king honey. This was an absolute woman-killer, effective from 99 years old down to toddlers who could just walk, all would be killed!

  "Amethyst crystal honey?" Sure enough, grandma's eyes lit up and she reached out to take it! Her expression even had a bit of a young woman's look to it!

  "Don't tell others that it's the honey of the Purple Crystal Bee 'King', I'll say it's gone, and you just say it's ordinary honey!" The poor Taoist instructed.

  "Good!" The grandmother responded casually, played for a while, and then said: "I'm the elder, I should give you something, but instead I received such an expensive thing from you! Can't help it, let's take out some good stuff, follow me!"

  Haha! I knew it, getting along well with this legendary figure would definitely be a high-return investment, and indeed it is!
