Sun Huanzhen: "At that time, Xiao Xian was apparently thrown into the water, but there were dozens of large fish swimming side by side in the water, keeping Xiao Xian afloat. In the air, there were several large birds, taking turns to hold Xiao Xian's swaddling clothes, preventing her from sinking. Even more miraculously, there were dense mosquitoes all around, not a single one came near Xiao Xian, let alone bit her."
Ye Tian was stunned: "Grandpa Sun, do you know what happened?"
Sun Huanzhen glanced sideways, confirmed that Sun Xiaoxian was not present, and then whispered: "Based on my judgment at the time, Xiao Xian might be the reincarnation of a significant figure."
Ye Tian's eyes widened: "What kind of significant figure could possess such miraculous abilities?"
Sun Huanzhen: "A reincarnated Earth Immortal certainly couldn't do it."
Ye Tian trembled: "Could it be a Celestial Immortal?"
Sun Huanzhen: "There are many extraordinary people in the world, and I cannot say for sure. Seeing Xiao Xian crying from hunger, I lifted her from the water. After raising her for a few days, I found her to be well-behaved and sensible, so I decided to keep her and raise her. Alas, sixteen years have passed in the blink of an eye."
Ye Tian toasted Sun Huanzhen: "Grandpa Sun, it must have been difficult for you."
Sun Huanzhen: "Xiao Ye, I have something I'd like to ask of you."
Ye Tian: "Grandpa Sun, you're too kind. Please, just say it."
Sun Huanzhen: "Xiao Xian is grown now, and I can no longer manage her. I'd like you to look after her more in the future."
Ye Tian said: "Certainly. I also have a high school student at home named Xue Qi. They can be friends in the future."
Sun Huanzhen: "Mm. I've been away from home for thirty-five years, and I'd like to go back and see."
Ye Tian was somewhat surprised: "You have family, old sir?"
Sun Huanzhen: "Of course. Every few years, I go home to take a look, but I don't dare to disturb their lives."
Ye Tian: "Grandpa Sun, then why don't you go home?"
Sun Huanzhen said faintly: "If I hadn't experienced the Earth Immortal tribulation, I would certainly have stayed home to be with my family. But at that time, I was undergoing the Earth Immortal tribulation and could barely protect myself, so how could I dare to implicate my family?"
Ye Tian understood Sun Huanzhen's concern. If his cultivation was gone, and enemies came looking for him, his family would be harmed. Even alone, he had to change locations every few years, worried about being found by enemies.
Ye Tian: "Grandpa Sun must have a full house of descendants by now, right?"
Sun Huanzhen shook his head: "My wife gave me only one son. He's quite accomplished, having been the top science student in the province back then. He's forty-nine this year, runs a company, and his business is doing well. He also gave me a granddaughter, who is twenty-four this year, just graduated from university, and is now helping her father manage the company."
Ye Tian smiled: "Grandpa Sun, isn't that great? You are already an Earth Immortal now. I think you can go back to visit them."
Sun Huanzhen looked a bit embarrassed and said: "As you know, I haven't seen them for decades. They actually resent me quite a bit in their hearts. I'm afraid it will be rather awkward if I suddenly return."
Ye Tian: "I believe they will understand Grandpa Sun if you explain things clearly."
Sun Huanzhen: "I'd like to ask you to approach my son and granddaughter first. If possible, you should marry my granddaughter."
Ye Tian's eyes widened: "Grandpa Sun, I have a girlfriend."
Sun Huanzhen smiled: "I truly don't think highly of other young men. Even though you have a girlfriend, what does that matter? Back in the day, I had three wives and still lived quite well."
Ye Tian was stunned: "Grandpa Sun had three wives?"
Sun Huanzhen: "They have all passed away. One was a Manchu girl from the Qing Dynasty, one was a refined lady from the Republic of China era, and the last one is my current wife."
Ye Tian: "But that's different, isn't it? You lived a long life, that's remarriage."
Sun Huanzhen: "It's the same. We cultivators have great abilities. Both our physical constitution and our wisdom are above ordinary people, so we can handle more women. Xiao Ye, your thinking is too conservative."
Ye Tian: "Then aren't you afraid your granddaughter will be wronged?"
Sun Huanzhen: "Would she be wronged by marrying an Earth Immortal? She would only be grateful to me, her grandfather, for finding her an excellent husband."
Ye Tian quickly waved his hands: "Grandpa Sun, I cannot agree to this."
Sun Huanzhen smiled: "Whether you agree or not is up to you. I won't force you. However, my granddaughter is a great beauty, no less than your girlfriend."
Ye Tian rubbed his nose: "I can help with other matters."
Sun Huanzhen nodded: "Indeed, there is something I need your help with. My son has encountered some trouble recently, a business matter. Could you help him resolve his difficulties?"
