Zombie Bodyguard-Chapter 1413 - 1410: A Friendly Spar?

"Damn, that’s your daughter, not an enemy, do you have to hurt her to be happy?" Lin Tian couldn’t help but curse, and Xiao Tian unconsciously clenched his fists, his face full of concern, yet he was powerless.

Not to mention he didn’t have Ancient Martial power, even if he did, he couldn’t intervene because he knew that his grandfather was a man of his word.

Mr. Wang pressed forward with one palm, and the Water Dragon suddenly erupted with an even louder Dragon Roar, pushing forcefully ahead, and before the Tai Chi Diagram broke, a wisp of blood first trickled from Wang Wanxi’s lips.

Seeing that Wang Wanxi’s defense was about to be overcome by the cultivation technique and then blown away, suffering more severe injuries, her eyes, however, became brighter in this perilous situation. She suddenly gave up resisting, her hands withdrew backward, but at the moment of withdrawal, she twisted her body, causing the Tai Chi Diagram to rotate at an angle.

Like slipping, the Water Dragon grazed the surface of the Tai Chi Diagram, storming in another direction, with a boom, the Water Dragon collided with a huge rock, shattering it into pieces.

After diverting the Water Dragon’s power, more blood overflowed from Wang Wanxi’s lips, her originally rosy cheeks lost their color, her hands trembled slightly, and the Tai Chi Diagram dissipated. Her body swayed a few times, and just when she seemed about to fall, she gritted her teeth and steadied herself.

Wang Wanxi looked at her father, a slight smile on her face, like an innocent child anticipating praise from her parents.

Mr. Wang didn’t strike again, but stopped, waved his hand, and tossed a jade bottle to Wang Wanxi. Wang Wanxi caught it, poured out a pill, and swallowed it without hesitation.

After taking the pill, Wang Wanxi closed her eyes for breath control, and after a moment, her pale face finally regained its usual rosy hue. She clasped her fists to salute her father, saying, "Thank you, Father, for showing mercy."

"It’s not that I showed mercy, it’s that you used your wits to dissolve my Water Dragon Roar." The old man stepped forward two steps, his eyes also holding a hint of praise, which satisfied Wang Wanxi.

However, he sighed again, "It’s a pity, ever since you were injured last time, your realm has stagnated, otherwise, your realm would surely be higher than your big brother’s. However, your combat experience hasn’t stagnated, and I’m glad you haven’t given up your cultivation."

"Let past events be bygones, I never regret." Wang Wanxi said resolutely.

For an Ancient Martial Artist, the stagnation of one’s realm is a devastating blow, like a dancer losing their legs or a pianist losing their hands. Such a cruel blow few can bear.

But Wang Wanxi endured, her temperance perhaps unmatched even by some Innate Strong People. Lin Tian nodded secretly, thinking to himself that if Aunt Wang fully recovers someday, she will surely ascend to the Innate Realm.

"Good, worthy of being my daughter, Wang Yuanzhou." At this moment, the old man was genuinely very appreciative, letting Lin Tian know for the first time his name from the old man’s own mouth, Wang Yuanzhou, this is the old man’s name.

"Grandfather, I’m here to see you." Yun Xiaotian called out, dissipating the somewhat solemn atmosphere.

He quickly ran over to Mr. Wang, disregarding the sand and dirt on the ground, knelt down directly, and kowtowed three times. According to Huaxia’s old traditions, juniors meeting members of the grandfather’s generation in the family should perform the kneeling ritual.

In today’s society, few still adhere to this old rite, but these large families still preserve many ancient ceremonial traditions. 𝙛𝒓𝓮𝙚𝔀𝒆𝒃𝓷𝒐𝓿𝙚𝓵.𝙘𝒐𝒎

Seeing his grandson, Wang Yuanzhou was also delighted, and the earlier regrets and gravity vanished like smoke. The so-called affection for later generations is also apt for a grandson, sometimes a grandfather is even closer to his grandson than to his own son.

Wang Yuanzhou hurriedly pulled Yun Xiaotian up, laughing heartily, "Come, let Grandfather take a look..." The cheerful demeanor made it impossible to relate to his earlier mysterious appearance.

The old man surveyed for a while and finally uttered a sentence that nearly made Lin Tian collapse.

"Hmm, pretty good, at least that Yun Hongxi hasn’t mistreated you, but your skin isn’t too good, too pale. If you followed me in cultivation, I’d guarantee you’d cultivate a healthy skin tone."

Daring to so blatantly talk about Yun Hongxi, and even call him by name without any courtesy, Lin Tian could imagine when Wang Yuanzhou once stormed Yun Family, it must have been absolute chaos.

"Father, you know the Wang Family rules, Ancient Martial isn’t passed to outsiders." Wang Mingyan came over, somewhat helplessly remarking because his old father had said this many times.

"What’s ’outsiders,’ he should have been surnamed Wang back then, and I had even thought of names like Wang Wudi, Wang Zhe, which aren’t more pleasant than his current name? If he were surnamed Wang back then, my grandson could have rightfully followed me in cultivation, Xiao Tian would now be at least Mid Innate." Wang Yuanzhou glared, seemingly displeased and regretful that he couldn’t enroll Yun Xiaotian into the Wang family register back then.

As for Wang Zhe, in my heart, I could only laugh. This old man sure has a short temper, actually considering having Yun Xiaotian surnamed Wang.

But among ordinary people, having a child take the mother’s surname isn’t unheard of, sometimes when the woman’s family lacks male heirs, the son-in-law’s child might be required to enter the woman’s family register.

Sometimes, brothers will even adopt nephews to be their sons back then, so why wouldn’t enrolling in the Wang family register be possible?

"Father, Xiao Tian is the sole heir of Yun Family, if you have him join the Wang family register, pay homage at Wang family ancestral hall, the Yun Family surely wouldn’t agree. Moreover, if this eventually happens, how will my sister remain in the Yun Family?" Wang Mingyan, although crude, knew clearly the reasoning at this moment.

Indeed, Wang Yuanzhou knew this reasoning well enough, only voicing his dissatisfaction, though this phrase would displease those from Yun Family, he couldn’t hold back from saying it. Back then he could storm into Japan for Yun Tian’s sake, let alone merely taking verbal action today.

"Oh, Xiao Tian, who is this friend of yours?" Wang Yuanzhou no longer dwelled on whether Xiao Tian should be surnamed Wang or Yun, but looked towards Lin Tian and Ghost.

Not waiting for Yun Xiaotian’s introduction, Lin Tian took the opportunity to introduce himself, "Greetings Mr. Wang, my name is Lin Tian, I’m Xiao Tian’s friend."

"Lin Tian?" Wang Yuanzhou was stunned, and then said with a peculiar expression, "Why aren’t you called Yun Tian then."

Damn, this old guy just indirectly called me his grandson, were it not for knowing you’re advanced in age and genuinely missing Yun Tian, I’d have been furious. Lin Tian thought helplessly.

"Ahem..." Wang Wanxi deliberately coughed twice, reminding, "Father, Xiao Tian has been a benefactor to the Yun Family."

"Oh, is that so?" Wang Yuanzhou responded vacantly, his expression ambiguous, he scrutinized Lin Tian, then said, "Whether there’s gratitude owed, I don’t know, but I do know that this little fellow looks pretty skilled, how about we spar a bit?"
