Dong Suzhu was happy to hear this, “Yang Xiao, what a good name, he has the same surname as my son.”
Yang Xiao asked in surprise, “Your son’s surname is also Yang?”
“That’s right, my son’s name is Yang Kai, the Palace Master of High Heaven Palace. Since you are a disciple of High Heaven Palace, you should know, right?” Dong Suzhu introduced proudly. Although she would complain about Yang Kai every time she saw him, she still felt proud of him in her heart. He had come to the Star Boundary alone, built such a huge foundation for High Heaven Palace, and even brought a large group of people from Heng Luo Star Field to enjoy the benefits here. Such an achievement was definitely unprecedented.
Yang Xiao’s mouth opened so wide it could fit an egg.
What? Did he hear wrongly? This woman was actually his foster father’s mother? If it was just the same name and surname, it would be fine, but how many Palace Masters did High Heaven Palace have?
No wonder that demon-like crazy woman was so polite to this woman.
“What’s wrong?” Dong Suzhu observed his expression and looked at him curiously, feeling that something was wrong with this little fatty.
Yang Xiao quickly adjusted his clothes and wiped his face before taking a few steps back and bowing respectfully to Dong Suzhu, “Grandson Yang Xiao greets Grandmother!”
This time, it was Dong Suzhu’s turn to be dumbfounded. Even Yang Xue, who was standing to the side, stared at Yang Xiao in amazement.
After a while, Dong Suzhu giggled and rubbed Yang Xiao’s head, “Little brat, what are you talking?”
Yang Xiao shook his head seriously, “Grandson just offer greeting, you are my grandmother, the High Heaven Palace Master you just mentioned is my father.”
Dong Suzhu couldn’t smile anymore, her expression twitching slightly as Yang Xue also showed a look of shock. This little girl was young, but her mind was extremely flexible, so how could she not understand the meaning behind these words?
“What’s going on?” Dong Suzhu turned to look at Liu Yan, her Divine Sense surging as she whispered, “Is what he said true?”
Her own son actually had a son, yet she didn’t know about it. At this moment, Dong Suzhu’s lungs nearly burst from anger, but she couldn’t show it in front of Yang Xiao, so she could only ask Liu Yan in private.
“Master said he was an adopted son,” Liu Yan replied, “He was also the one who brought him back from outside.”
“Adoptive son?” Dong Suzhu couldn’t help heaving a sigh of relief, “You scared me, I thought outside he…”
Although Dong Suzhu couldn’t wait for Yang Kai to find a few more wives and give her a few grandchildren, the four in the family had yet to make a move. If one child really appeared from outside, the four of them would be in a mess.
Since he was an adopted son, there was no problem.
Suddenly thinking of something, Dong Suzhu turned around and rushed into the Hanging Foot Pavilion, disappearing without a trace.
Seeing this, Yang Xiao was completely confused, leaving only three small figures behind.
After what had just happened, Yang Xiao was truly afraid of Liu Yan and could only look towards Yang Xue with a flattering smile.
Yang Xue placed her hand on her waist and asked in a childish voice, “Are you Big Brother’s son?”
“Big… Big Brother?” Yang Xiao was stunned, but quickly understood, “Oh, you’re foster father’s younger sister, right?”
“Hmph, hmph,” Yang Xue snorted, “You’re Big Brother’s son and I’m his little sister, so what should you call me?”
“What should I call you?” Yang Xiao asked blankly.
“How would I know what you should call me? Hurry up and call me something nice, I have something good for you,” Yang Xue’s eyes lit up.
Yang Xiao’s expression couldn’t help twitching as he felt that there was no one in High Heaven Palace who was the same age as him. Liu Yan was like this, and so was his foster father’s younger sister. Just as he was thinking this, he suddenly felt a heat wave spread across his body and when he looked over, he saw a fire snake floating in front of him, quietly staring at him.
“You want to burn me again!” Yang Xiao was shocked.
Liu Yan walked towards him step by step with a sweet smile on her face and a gentle voice, “Think carefully about how you should address her.”
Yang Xiao scratched his head and turned his eyes towards the Hanging Foot Pavilion for help, but unfortunately, his grandmother had just entered it for some unknown reason and hadn’t come out. Knowing that he couldn’t escape from Liu Yan’s clutches, Yang Xiao could only meditate.
Finally having a stroke of good fortune, a light flashed in Yang Xue’s mind as he excitedly called out, “Aunt!”
Yang Xue blinked her large eyes and turned to look at Liu Yan.
Liu Yan nodded lightly, indicating that he was right.
Yang Xue immediately clapped her hands and said, “Haha, that’s right, what reward do you want?”
Yang Xiao said weakly, “I don’t want any reward.” I just want to return to my foster father’s side. The outside world is too dangerous. Where are you, foster father?
“That won’t do!” Yang Xue shook her head, her two braids swinging back and forth as she tilted her head and thought for a moment before walking over to Yang Xiao’s side. Standing on her tiptoes, she stretched out her hand and gently rubbed Yang Xiao’s head while muttering, “Yang Xiao is good, Yang Xiao is good, Yang Xiao is the best.”
Yang Xiao’s mouth twitched as he stared at her. This little girl in front of him wasn’t even as tall as him, yet she dared to touch his head. He was a dragon, so who would dare touch his head! But thinking about it carefully, who asked her to be his foster father’s younger sister? His seniority was indeed lower than others, so he could only accept his fate and smile bitterly, “This is the reward.”
Yang Xue nodded seriously, “Yes, Mother always rewards Xue’er like this.”
“Haha…” Yang Xiao’s temper was almost exhausted, “Aunt, you’re so easily satisfied.”
Yang Xue snorted and angrily said, “You should be happy.”
“Yes, yes, yes, I’m very happy,” Yang Xiao nodded repeatedly.
Liu Yan grinned from the side, “Do you know what you said wrong now?”
The moment she opened her mouth, Yang Xiao couldn’t help shivering and swallowing his saliva, “What did I say wrong?”
Liu Yan didn’t answer, only quietly staring at him.
Yang Xiao felt that the situation was not good and faintly felt that he had reached a critical juncture. He realized that if he couldn’t answer or if his answer made Liu Yan unhappy, his future would be very difficult.
Immediately racking his brain, his thoughts raced, but no matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out what he had said wrong, so he could only look at Liu Yan pitifully, “Can you give me a hint?”
Liu Yan’s lips curled up as she looked towards Yang Xue, “Xue’er, call me.”
Yang Xue immediately called out, “Sister Liu Yan.”
“Do you understand now?” Liu Yan continued to stare at Yang Xiao.
“I understand, I understand,” Yang Xiao nodded fiercely, but in his heart he was howling in anger. What did I understand? I called you Big Sister Liu Yan, so why am I being burned by you?
Wait…
Yang Xiao suddenly seemed to realize something and timidly glanced at Liu Yan before cautiously asking, “Liu Yan… Aunt?”
Liu Yan’s face immediately blossomed into a warm smile as she said to Yang Xiao, “From now on, I am your Big Aunt, Xue’er is your Little Aunt, remember?”
Yang Xiao was dumbfounded. So that was all!
It turned out that it was only because he had addressed her wrongly at the beginning that he had been chased by her!
If that was all there was to it, why didn’t you just say it earlier? Why did you have to force me to comprehend it on my own? How could I comprehend such a thing myself? Yang Xiao’s heart was filled with grief and indignation, wishing he could smash his head into the ground.
On the other hand, Yang Xue was still clapping, “Right, right, I am Little Aunt, Big Sister Liu Yan is Big Aunt, we are all family.”
Who wants to be your family!
Suddenly, a hurried footsteps came from inside the Hanging Foot Pavilion. Yang Xiao turned his head and saw Dong Suzhu and a middle-aged man walking over. At first glance, this middle-aged man looked somewhat similar to his foster father, and when he thought about the intimate expression between Dong Suzhu and him, Yang Xiao immediately realized that this man was likely his foster father's father.
Fourth Master Yang was originally cultivating when he heard Dong Suzhu report the good news to him, telling him that his son had taken in an adopted son and that he was a fair and fat little fellow. He was immediately surprised and naturally came out to take a look.
Looking over, he found that it was just as Dong Suzhu had said. The little fellow’s appearance was not bad, but he was in a somewhat sorry state. After examining him for a moment, he nodded and asked, “Is this the child? Is his name Yang Xiao?”
“En, it’s him. He said he came back with our son this time,” Dong Suzhu nodded.
Fourth Master Yang smiled and was about to speak when he saw Yang Xiao bow to the ground, “Greetings, Grandfather!”
When he called him ‘Grandfather’, he felt greatly comforted. Although he wasn’t Yang Kai's biological grandson, he was still young and sensible. It was obvious that he had a good upbringing, so he quickly raised his hand and said, “Get up, let me take a good look at you.”
Yang Xiao immediately straightened his posture and stood there meticulously, allowing Fourth Master Yang to examine him carefully.
Fourth Master Yang smiled and nodded, “Good, good. Child, since you are Old Nine’s adopted son, why is your surname also Yang? Could it be that your family also has this surname?”
Yang Xiao respectfully replied, “A few days ago, this grandson was born with the help of my foster father, so from the moment i was born, I asked my foster father to bestow me with his surname.”
Fourth Master Yang suddenly asked, “Does your parents have any objections?”
Yang Xiao smiled, “No objections.”
“It’s good that you don’t have any objections…” Fourth Master Yang smiled and nodded before suddenly widening his eyes, “Born not long ago? Child, how old are you this year?”
Yang Xiao said awkwardly, “I was only born a month or two ago.”
For a month or two, Dong Suzhu and Fourth Master Yang were both stunned.
Liu Yan replied, “He’s not a human, he seems to be a dragon.” As a Holy Spirit, Liu Yan could naturally feel Yang Xiao’s dragon aura.
“The Dragon Race!” Fourth Master Yang and his wife were both shocked. According to what they knew, Yang Kai had an unclear relationship with a Dragoness. The last time he had gone to Dragon Island, he had brought back a Dragon Race adopted son with the surname Yang. Could it be…
“Where is that little brat?” Dong Suzhu asked with a straight face.
Liu Yan replied, “He was just discussing some matters with the Chief Manager.”
Dong Suzhu coldly snorted, “Tell him to come see me immediately.”
