Chapter 8, Grandmother's Reminder

Now, upon their first meeting, the grandmother tests the physical condition of her two grandsons to assess their martial arts aptitude. It seems that her passion for martial arts is even more profound than what their mother described.

"Get up, everyone. It is quite commendable that you still remember that you have a mother like me, and that you can come back to visit." Shui Yun continued.

Thus, Ao Jue led Ao Tian towards Shui Yun

Having seen her mother, the daughter has been unfilial, not returning to visit her mother for so many years. Lan Ying stepped forward to Shui Yun and performed a deep bow, her voice choked with emotion as she spoke

Am I not seeing correctly? The young master is actually holding a child in his arms. Could it be that the young master has an illegitimate child outside?

"You have been taught martial arts for several years now, which is excellent," Shui Yun said with a satisfied nod. However, her expression suddenly changed, and she pulled Ao Jue closer, repeatedly saying, "No, no."

The water pavilions meander gracefully, rising above the surface of the pond, with flowerbeds in full bloom, and countless flowers swaying beside the azure waves. Along the way, Ao Jue beheld numerous water pavilions adorned with blossoms, indicating that the Tian Shui Sect is not lacking in flower enthusiasts. Ao Jue himself is also fond of raising fish, and with just a glance, he spotted several species of fish he had never seen before in the pond.

Ying'er, if your father hadn't encountered any trouble, would you have planned to never return for the rest of your life? asked Shuiyun to Lan Ying.

At this moment, Ao Jue stood up, leading Ao Tian to stand behind the Ao Sheng couple

"Elder brother, how come I never knew about this road before?" Lan Ying suddenly asked Lan Hua. She also came from the Heavenly Water Sect, but in her memory, there was no existence of the road they were currently traversing.

This road was just opened a year ago. It has been many years since you last returned, so naturally, you are unaware of its existence. It is also because you are my sister and brother-in-law that I brought you along this path. Usually, the disciples of the Tianshui Sect still take the original route when descending the mountain, and many people do not know that this road exists. You must not disclose this information.

It is like this. Lan Ying's tone was somewhat melancholic; she did not wish to refrain from visiting often, but her husband was not very well-received by her father. Moreover, she could not leave her husband behind and return alone, which put her in a difficult position

"Grandma," Ao Jue Tiantian called out sweetly

However, regardless of how these people speculate and discuss, Ao Jue is oblivious to it all. At this moment, he has already passed through the crimson gate of the Tian Shui Sect and officially begun to appreciate the scenery within the sect.

"Son-in-law, I have met the esteemed mother-in-law." Ao Sheng bowed and saluted.

Who are these people from m.hetushu.com? The old sect master is injured, and hasn't the Tianshui Sect been refusing to receive outsiders these days?

Once again traversing countless winding corridors, Ao Jue finally encountered his grandmother, Shui Yun. She was a woman in her fifties, yet appeared like a middle-aged lady; time had left no traces on her face. Ao Jue had long heard from his mother that this grandmother was a martial arts master, and it seemed she had mastered the art of maintaining her youth as well.

Not bad, not bad, you all have good physiques, suitable for martial arts. Have you told your grandmother that your father has taught you to practice martial arts?" Shuiyun nodded in satisfaction and asked

As an ancient sect, the Tianshui Sect does not possess any luxurious buildings; everything is so simple and unremarkable. However, these old structures exude a sense of history, and stepping inside evokes memories of stories from deep within time.

At last, Ao Jue emerged from the dense forest, revealing a square before him. In the square, more than twenty individuals, both men and women, were practicing martial arts. Upon seeing Lan Hua leading Ao Jue and his family over, the disciples of the Shui Sect all ceased their activities, directing their gazes towards them, their eyes filled with confusion

"And regarding the books, my father taught us martial arts several years ago," replied Ao Jue sweetly.

Today I am happy, so I would like to remind you that the old ghost is currently in a bad mood, so you should avoid provoking him for now. Stay here and rest for two days, let him cool off, and then you can go see him. It seems that Ao Jue's grandparents have a very good relationship, as Shui Yun speaks without any reservations, embodying the spirit of a chivalrous woman

Ao Jue followed Lan Hua as they traversed the dense forest outside the Tian Shui Sect. However, after walking for quite some time, he still had not seen the entrance to the sect. At that moment, he suddenly realized that this forest was likely not simple. After observing Lan Hua's footsteps for a while, Ao Jue noticed that he would suddenly turn at certain specific spots. It was then that Ao Jue finally understood that the forest was arranged according to a specific formation.

The Tianshui Sect generally does not receive outsiders. Although Lan Ying has been living here for over ten years as the young lady of the Tianshui Sect, she has not returned to the sect for nearly a decade. Moreover, the disciples in the square are all recent recruits from the past few years, so for a moment, no one knew who Lan Hua, the young master, had brought with him.

Haha, it turns out to be true energy restraint, true energy restraint indeed. At such a young age, he has already reached the realm where true energy does not flow outward. What a prodigy, truly remarkable. No wonder he is a master. After Shuiyun circulated his true energy within Ao Jue's body, he discovered Ao Jue's secret. However, he did not reveal that Ao Jue had already reached the level of a second-rate master, which greatly relieved Ao Jue.

The grandson Ao Jue respectfully visited his grandmother. Ao Jue knelt down and bowed twice, saying

How is that possible? You know very well how formidable our young lady is. Even if we were to lend the young master another ounce of courage, he would not dare to leave an illegitimate child outside, let alone bring him back.

"Good, come here, let me take a good look at you," Shuiyun said as she brought Ao Jue in front of her, carefully feeling his physique. Soon, she smiled and said, "What a fine physique, what a fine physique indeed"

Under the guidance of Lan Hua, Ao Jue and others ascended step by step, traversing mountains and ridges, heading towards the Tian Shui Sect

After traversing the winding mountain path for an hour, Ao Jue finally beheld the original appearance of the Tianshui Sect. As a sect with a heritage spanning several centuries, Tianshui Sect naturally exudes an aura of ancient grandeur and majesty. Surrounded by dense forests, the Tianshui Sect is concealed within the embrace of nature.

"The sky sees the grandmother, ah, it hurts." Ao Tian also imitated Ao Jue and knelt down to bow to Shui Yun, but after just one bow, he immediately cried out, having not noticed that he had exerted too much force, and he began to rub his head and shout.

After Ao Jue and the others passed through the square, the disciples present immediately gathered together to discuss. In no time, opinions varied widely, speculations abounded, and the discussions became increasingly absurd.

Just now, when testing the physical condition of Ao Jue and Ao Tian, Shui Yun noticed that they were both extraordinary talents in martial arts. While Ao Tian's potential can be set aside for the moment, Ao Jue's aptitude surpasses that of Ao Tian. However, when Shui Yun was testing Ao Jue's physical condition, she did not detect even a trace of true energy emanating from Ao Jue's body. It is important to note that Ao Jue has been practicing martial arts for many years, making this situation quite unusual.

"My two dear grandsons, you need not hide any longer. Come over here to your grandmother, let me see you. You have all grown so much, yet your grandmother has never seen you before." Shui Yun said to Ao Jue and the other person.

Subsequently, Shuiyun touched Aotian's physique, and the result was quite satisfactory to him. At that moment, Ao Jue suddenly recalled that Lan Ying had once told him that his grandmother was a martial arts enthusiast, who, even now with grandchildren, still practiced martial arts diligently every day

Haha. At this moment, everyone was amused by Aotian's appearance, and Shuiyun, whose face had originally been tense, couldn't help but smile as well

"The daughter is afraid, the daughter is afraid," Lan Ying quickly said
