“My son… is he a noble prodigy?”
Hearing Ji Yunyu’s words, Li Tian Gang was somewhat stunned, not immediately grasping the meaning of this statement.
That child, had he become the Ji Family’s prodigy?
“Indeed, your son has escorted back our Ji Family’s War God Heroic Spirits and challenged all prodigies of our Ji Family for the sake of redeeming his mother, defeating them all. His talent can be called unparalleled in history!”
Ji Yunyu spoke, his eyes radiating light when he mentioned Li Hao.
The earth-shattering battle on Heavenly Dao a few days ago was still vivid in his mind.
The other members of the Ji Family, upon hearing Ji Yunyu mentioning that young man, also showed looks of respect and admiration in their eyes.
Defeating all prodigies, a simple phrase, but as difficult as ascending to the heavens, and that young man had done it, forging an invincible myth with the Three Immortalities!
“Challenged all the prodigies of the Ji Family?”
Li Tian Gang’s heart trembled.
He had long heard from his wife about how extraordinary the prodigies of the Ji Family were, all of them like proud dragons among men, far beyond comparison to those of the Dayu Divine Dynasty. Just taking out one could be a presence as notable as his ninth brother, or even far surpassing.
“Then, he hasn’t offended any of you, has he?”
Li Tian Gang cautiously inquired.
Having defeated the entire clan’s prodigies was undeniably a great humiliation; had it not been for the smile on the other party’s face when discussing this matter, he would have thought that Li Hao had already been killed in a fit of shame and anger by the Ji Family.
“Ha ha, you worry too much; your son is gentle and polite, neither arrogant nor impetuous. How could he possibly offend us?”
Ji Yunyu laughed, “Moreover, it is normal for a young man to have some passion and temperament. Which prodigy isn’t spirited in their youth? If they don’t possess unique charisma, how can they be worthy of being called prodigies and be anything more than lucky descendants simply inheriting their parents’ talents?”
Li Tian Gang heaved a sigh of relief and echoed, “Elder speaks the truth.”
“This is your only child?” Ji Yunyu asked with a smile.
Li Tian Gang quickly nodded: “Yes, my only child.”
“Well raised,” Ji Yunyu praised with a smile.
Li Tian Gang was taken aback, his cheeks growing a touch warm as he dared not meet the other’s gaze.
Well raised?
The state of affairs regarding Li Hao in the Ji Family over these years had all been laid out by his second uncle and sister-in-law when the child left home.
Apart from food and drink, that child basically had not used any of the Li Family’s cultivation resources, and they, his parents, had never accompanied the child; to talk now of raising him…
“Here we are, this is the Ji Family.”
Ji Yunyu said.
Li Tian Gang looked up and saw the majestic mountain gate and the continuous long steps.
The mountain gate appeared as if cast from the coalesced bodies of a multitude of dragons, imposing and formidable.
Li Tian Gang’s eyes sharpened, immediately sensing the terrible heritage of this ancient family, even more majestic and enduring than their own Divine General Mansion.
The news of Ji Le Ping’s father’s arrival had already spread through the Ji Family. As Li Tian Gang followed Ji Yunyu up the mountain, many people came along the way, gazing from a distance at the father of the Dao Seed.
Since Li Hao defeated all the prodigies and contended for the Dao Seed, obtaining the Saint’s mark and creating a series of sensational feats a few days ago, nearly everyone in the Ji Family had been talking about this strongest prodigy these days.
And when discussing Li Hao, it was inevitable to talk about his mixed heritage.
Everyone’s speculation was rife, extremely curious about Li Hao’s paternal family lineage.
Many even guessed that Li Hao’s mother might have secretly married into a hidden ancient family outside the Great Wilderness Heaven; the combination of two great bloodlines resulting in the birth of such a unique talent.
“Is that Ji Le Ping’s father?”
“Cultivation at Four Stands Realm, breath of Defying Fate Realm, decent cultivation, but doesn’t seem as strong as imagined.”
“It’s said he comes from beyond the Great Wilderness Heaven, from the dynasty of the Jiang family, where energies are scarce. Being able to cultivate to this extent, he is maybe already considered highly talented.”
On the mountain path, many of the Ji Family were watching from afar, whispering among themselves.
These murmurs also inevitably fell into Li Tian Gang’s ears, making him suddenly feel the center of attention; these people from the Ji Family seemed to be observing him because of Li Hao.
Thinking back on what Ji Yunyu said, that Li Hao had defeated all the Ji Family’s prodigies, a tightness crept into Li Tian Gang’s heart.
He had never doubted Li Hao’s talents, he just hadn’t anticipated that upon arriving at this ancient family, Li Hao would still be able to lead the way, defeating peers of his age.
Once they reached the belly of the mountain, Ji Yunyu told the others who had previously accompanied him on the mission to intimidate the Qin Family to disperse, and he continued toward the top of Saint Mountain with only a few people, taking Li Tian Gang with him.
“Elder, my son and Qingqing, are they ahead?”
Li Tian Gang’s heart grew more and more uneasy as they ascended.
Ji Yunyu said, “Qingqing is in Qiu Tian Dao, having been imprisoned due to her transgressions, but your son has already atoned for her, becoming the Dao Seed. He can pardon his mother; you will be able to see them soon.”
Li Tian Gang was deeply moved, the child had already washed away his mother’s sins?
The scene in the Divine General Mansion where he had angrily slapped the child flashed uncontrollably through his mind.
His heart suddenly clenched.
Was there still a chance for him to make amends?
He bit his lip silently and decided, no matter what accusations or blame the child might express when they met, he would accept them all, as long as it would appease him, as long as he could forgive.
Upon reaching the summit of the Saint Mountain, many senior members and Elders of the Ji Family had already been waiting.
Having heard of Ji Le Ping’s father’s arrival, they had all hurried over to provide a dignified reception.
In the past, had the man Ji Qingqing married dared to come to the Ji Family, he would have been executed on the spot. But now, with the father’s status elevated by the son, having fostered a prodigy like Ji Le Ping, they too must treat him with courtesy.
