On the other side, in the Jiang Family Manor.
In Jiang Duxing"s study room.
At this time, there was someone else in the study other than Jiang Duxing. It was an old man.
The old man looked like he was about sixty-years-old. He was skinny and had snow-white hair. He had on round sungla.s.ses, bermudas, and slippers. It was the mysterious old man who had treated Gate to wine previously.
“Father.” Jiang Duxing addressed the mysterious old man respectfully. “Qianxue has been behaving strangely recently. I would not have troubled you to find her if I had any other choice.”
This mysterious old man was Jiang Duxing"s father, Jiang Qianxue"s grandfather!
He was an elder member of the highest authority of the Galaxy Aristocrats, one of the five current protectors of the Galaxy Aristocrats and the Milky Way, Five Kings.Dongliu!
“Yes, I know.” Jiang Qianxue"s grandfather Jiang Dongliu chuckled and nodded his head. He said, “Qianxue has always been a child who is in control of her emotions. Unless it is something major, her ability to control her emotions will not be affected. Now that such a super-genius has appeared, it is normal that a girl her age would idolize him. It"s not a big problem.”
“I hope so. I"m afraid that she will make the wrong choice. If we do not resolve her romantic feelings for this hero now, when we really find the super genius…” Jiang Duxing shook his head and sighed. He said slowly, “It will be problematic when the time comes. It has been confirmed that this super-genius is not one of the Galaxy Aristocrats, right?”
“It has been confirmed.” Jiang Dongliu nodded and said, “According to the latest news, the number one genius from the younger generation of the Beta Star, Li Tianxing, is already on the way here. This boy is talented, totally unlike the little brat Tianzong. Most importantly, he is one of the people the Beta Star is grooming and he is an energy user who has fused with an ice Soul Stone. He is one of the chosen successors to the Nine Sha Luos. This kid is actually quite reliable. At least I have not seen any bad traits after observing him for so long. Let me counsel Qianxue and resolve the conflicts she has in her heart. Things will then fall into place. There should not be any problem.”
“That"s true, Qianxue has been obedient to you since young.” Jiang Duxing finally felt better. He smiled and said, “By the way, Father, you have met Mo Tianji"s successor, Hong Dali, correct?”
“That little brat?” When Hong Dali was mentioned, Jiang Dongliu immediately started laughing. Smacking his thigh, he said, “The brat is uncommonly kind. I met him the day he killed Feiyun. It was obvious he was really furious that day. He"s also quite highly skilled. He is likely one of the best among the Double Aristocrats. Also, this little brat has powerful backing. He will be someone extraordinary in the future.”
“Oh? So powerful?” Jiang Duxing smiled and said, “Speaking of which, his background is really quite impressive. He gave away a few pieces of top-grade energy gems which increases energy by 50% all at one go. Those are not things that ordinary people would have.”
“Oh? Such a thing happened?” Jiang Dongliu rubbed his chin and asked curiously, “Mo Tianji may have been the number one fighter in the Galaxy all those years ago, but I don"t think even he had top-grade gems like these. It"s also impossible for White Beard Gate to have given him such good stuff so soon. I wonder how this young man got them. And you mentioned that he gave away a few pieces all at once? This is really strange.”
Mo Tianji might have been the top fighter in the Eastern Galaxy, but it was not that easy to get top-grade energy gems which increased energy by 50%. The fact that Hong Dali was able to procure them was a big surprise.
“White Beard Gate?!” When he heard that name, Jiang Duxing was immediately shocked. “Father, you are talking about the number one pirate in Dimu Star Sector, one of the Dimu three emperors, White Beard Gate?”
“Of course.” Jiang Dongliu laughed and said, “Who else can it be other than him? You wouldn"t be able to guess how they ended up together.”
“How did they end up together?” Jiang Duxing exclaimed. “He is one of the three emperors of the Dimu Star Sector s.p.a.ce pirates. The most powerful person in the entire Dimu Star Sector is in Shenluo City?”
“That"s right.” Jiang Dongliu said slowly, “White Beard Gate has a hobby. Whenever he takes a holiday, he will go to a different planet chosen randomly. What he does on holiday is also varied and weird. This time, White Beard Gate p.a.w.ned himself. That means he went to a p.a.w.n shop and p.a.w.ned himself. The price was one hundred thousand Galaxy Dollars. Hong Dali did not even see him in person and made an offer of one hundred and twenty thousand, so Gate ended up staying with him. I won"t tell you about what happened next, but Hong Dali is now one of Gate"s numerous G.o.dsons. Gate is so protective, the brat will be safe from now on!”
“This… how did that happen?!” Jiang Duxing did not know whether to laugh or to cry. “Hong Dali"s luck is a little too good, isn"t it?”
“This is fate.” Jiang Dongliu smiled and said, “You have no choice but to surrender to it.” After saying this, Jiang Dongliu got up and said slowly, “Forget it, let"s not think about this now. I will look for Qianxue first and have a good chat with her. You don"t have to worry too much. Our Qianxue is very smart and will understand most things with a little guidance. This is no different.”
“Okay, Father. I will wait for your good news.”
“Don"t worry,” said Jiang Dongliu with a smile before reaching out and gently pulling at something in the air. A door opened from nowhere and he walked in, closing the door behind him. Everything returned to normal.
Brent Revolving Restaurant.
Jiang Qianxue sat alone in a room, thinking about the super genius.
To be honest, she was just eighteen this year, an age when girls were p.r.o.ne to hero idolization. A person who managed to pa.s.s all thirty levels of the Tower of Trials only came by once in a thousand years. It was normal that Jiang Qianxue would feel admiration for a G.o.dly genius like this. The problem was, no one knew what this mysterious person was like.
Jiang Qianxue did not know either.
She was an extremely intelligent girl. After the initial frenzied idolization died down, she soon calmed down. That was why she was sitting here alone instead of with someone else.
“Perhaps, I acted too rashly.” Jiang Qianxue sat on the sofa in the room thinking carefully about the events that had transpired recently. “I don"t know anything about the other party and I fell in love with him? That does not seem right. My feelings feel more like idolization?”
After all, Jiang Qianxue had no previous experience with love and she was very young. She really needed to seriously consider the current situation.
“Swish—” Just as Jiang Qianxue was thinking, a door suddenly appeared behind her out of thin air.
“Well, well, well, little Qianxue, what are you thinking about here?” Jiang Dongliu chuckled as he walked out from the doorway and then closed the door behind him. He approached Jiang Qianxue and pulled her into his embrace. “Did anyone bully you recently? If so, Grandpa will stand up for you!”
“Grandpa, sob, sob, sob…” When she saw her Grandpa, whom she admired, Jiang Qianxue buried her head into his chest and cried, “Grandpa, I… I feel so confused, sob, sob, sob…”
“Hahaha, don"t worry, don"t worry.” Jiang Dongliu gently patted Jiang Qianxue"s back and consoled her softly. “You"re still a child, as you grow up you will meet challenges and encounter changes. If you choose the right path, the road ahead will be wide and straight. If you choose the wrong path, it will be a narrow and winding alley. However, regardless of whether you take the wide road or the narrow alley, you end up at the same place. There"s not much difference.”
As he spoke, he positioned Qianxue back into her original position and said, smiling, “All right, stop crying. Tell Grandpa what is bothering you?”
“Okay.” Jiang Qianxue rubbed her eyes. She had admired her Grandfather who was one of the five kings since she was young. Her fondness for heroes stemmed from her admiration for her grandfather. To her grandfather, there was nothing Jiang Qianxue could not talk about. Now that her favorite grandfather was here, she was no longer able to control herself and spilled all her troubles out to him.
“Previously, I thought that I liked the super warrior who had pa.s.sed Level thirty, but later I realized that it may not be so,” Jiang Qianxue said softly. “I may have been too rash. Perhaps I only idolize the super genius and I actually do not know if I love him or not. I don"t know what will happen if I meet him in the future…”
“Yes, yes, yes. I understand our Qianxue"s feelings.” Jiang Dongliu patted Jiang Qianxue"s shoulder. “Let"s see, is it like this? You have always liked powerful people with strong abilities since young, heroes like Grandpa, right?”
Jiang Qianxue nodded and a laugh escaped her lips. She said, “Grandpa is the most powerful.”
“Then,” Jiang Dongliu continued, “when a super genius suddenly appeared, you were excited. You thought "Aye, this person is so powerful, he must be a hero. I like men like this", right?”
This time Jiang Qianxue thought about it for a relatively longer time before nodding. “Yes, I think that was what I thought…”
“This is obvious then.” Jiang Dongliu smiled and said, “You are full of questions about this mysterious man. You idolize him. You wonder, what he is like? Why is he so powerful? Level thirty, even Elder Mo Tianji could not get that far all those years ago, etc. In truth, this is nothing more than hero wors.h.i.+p. In other words, you"re just infatuated!”
“Grandpa!” Jiang Qianxue immediately protested when she heard what her grandfather said. “You"re teasing me!”
Although she said that, she was smiling and had obviously cheered up a fair bit.
