——(POV third person)——

Li Huang was silent for a minute as he was thinking about what grandpa Long has said. It wasn't wrong that he would have tried to do something about his parents but it still didn't make it right for grandpa Long to hide such a thing from him.

Despite this, he wasn't going to react immaturely as he could understand why Li Long choose to hide this from a four-year-old child. Naturally, as time passed it got harder and harder to tell him the truth so if Li Huang were to put himself in his grandpa's shoes he didn't think he could find a better time to tell him about this matter.

"I see." Was all Li Huang said as the fact that he understood the why and how didn't change his displeasure.

Li Long too could see this and he was relieved that Li Huang could understand his point.

Seeing that grandpa Long was still sitting there, Li Huang faced him again.

"Grandpa, don't tell me that you still have something to tell me…" Li Huang said this as a tease and he didn't expect Li Long to nod to him.

"There are still some matters that we should talk about." Li Long said.

Li Huang took a more comfortable chair out of his storage ring and sat on it.

"I don't think anything can top your previous news, grandpa." Li Huang said as he honestly didn't think anything could be more surprising than the news about his parents.

He needed to talk to uncle Aram about it but he doubted he didn't know about the matter as he was sure that grandpa Long has pulled every string to find his son and daughter-in-law.

'Getting a few points of interest in the continent and the world could also help me in searching with more efficiency.' Li Huang thought. He knew that he could gain better results if he were to add the [Peeping eye of Heaven] to the equation.

Grandpa Long looked at his grandchild sternly. Li Huang was quick to understand that Li Long wasn't his grandpa at this moment and he was looking at the Heavenly Sword Sect's patriarch— or the Li family's head.

Fixing his posture he waited for Li Long to continue.

"Did you think that I wouldn't understand what you have done? You have given a family secret to an outsider. What do you have to say?" Li Long said. He could easily detect the [Mortal body transcendence formation] in Hu Anjing's body and no one other than Li Huang could have been the one who gave her the training method for it as only direct members of the main Li family had access to it and Li Huang was the only one with the qualification and motive to do so.

"As you have seen, Anjing is so talented that it would be a waste if she didn't train in this method. I don't think even the best geniuses of our family could achieve what she achieved. Keep that in mind that she is at this level when she was in the trial fighting for her life and known the method for less than a month." Li Huang explained. Of course, he knew that if they didn't 'cheat' in that meditation she wouldn't be able to reach this level but it didn't stop him from bragging about it. Also, if it wasn't because of her accomplishments in the method, Li Long wouldn't be able to detect it so it was only fair for him to use this to his advantage.

Li Long couldn't deny this as he too was too surprised about her developments in the [Mortal body transcendence formation] and from what Li Huang said, she only trained for the span of the trial so it was really impressive that she could do so, but that was no reason to give away a family secret.

"While I can not deny the fact that Hu Anjing is really talented, more talented than any of our Li family's geniuses, you seem to forget an important factor…" Li Long said and leaned forward.

"No matter how bright of a star she is, she doesn't belong to our Li family. As a result, the comparison is not valid." Li Long said with a frown. These sorts of methods were what made their Li family what it is today so if they were to hand away their advantage to others, there is nothing that let their family keep their position as one of the big families.

"I understand your concern, but this can be solved easily…" Li Huang said and now it was his turn to lean forward.

"…If I marry her this problem will be solved." Li Huang said as nonchalantly as he could. Li Long on the other side didn't expect this and didn't know what to say.

"The family will also get a new genius, I see this as an absolute win." Li Huang said with a shrug.

Li Long couldn't deny that this was the best course of action as the family head but he was worried as a grandfather so he decided to ask Li Huang directly.

"Was this your plan to add Hu Anjing to the family this way?" Li Long asked. As unlikely that his assumption was, he couldn't help but voice it out.

Li Huang frowned as he heard this.

"Don't insult me like this grandpa. If I cared about what my family would gain from my marriage, I would have already gone to your wife and apologized for my father's behavior." Li Huang said with venom in his voice as he didn't want grandpa Long to even think that he cared about that sort of thing when it comes to a relationship.

Li Long understood what Li Huang meant by his words and didn't miss how he addressed Shen Yan as 'your wife' and not 'my grandmother'. As much as he wanted he couldn't fault him for this behavior as Shen Yan was far from being the model grandmother.

Li Long leaned and put a hand on Li Huang's shoulder as he smiled.

"Good, we will do that." He said and got up.

Li Huang too got up and stored his comfy chair in his storage ring.

"Now you have to get ready for a war." Li Long said as he turned to face Li Huang.

"Can you repeat that again grandpa?" Li Huang asked after a few seconds as he didn't know how the conversation took this turn all of a sudden.

"Do you remember the elder Zhong?" Li Long asked instead of answering.

Li Huang thought a little as the name was familiar and he suddenly remembered.

"That elder Zhong who wanted to defend the Li family?" Li Huang asked. The only elder Zhong that he remembered was the one that was helping his fake cousin and attacked him to defend their cover.

"Yes, that elder Zhong." Li Long nodded as he laughed a little. That 'bastard' dared to sully their family's name so Li Long didn't go easy on him.

Li Huang only knew that elder Zhong was supposed to be interrogated but he didn't know what was going on exactly, as grandpa Long kept him in the dark in the beginning and this past month he was in the trial space and didn't know about the outside world.

"We looked into his memories but it was hard as they were ready for such a thing and his memories got scrambled after our attempt." Li Long said as he shook his head.

Li Huang couldn't believe that they didn't check for this as this was really something that they should have been ready for.

Li Long who could see from Li Huang's expression what he was thinking about, didn't like what he saw.

"Don't look at me like that. Everyone there was an expert, but we didn't think there was a martial art that could trigger a hardly visible formation on his skull that scrambled his memories." Li Long said as he was angry.? They overlooked this tiny variable at the time and could lose all the information this way.

Li Huang nodded as he didn't think something like this to be possible.
