Chapter 227 The Protective Old Woman
Seeing that Qin Haodong did not want to explain, Lei Tianrui and his fellows didn't ask more. They were glad to see that the national treasures had been saved. After all, they didn't end up being possessed by the Japanese.
After leaving the cave, Qin Haodong successively broke the killing, trapping and hidden formations. He took all the formation flags and boards away with him. Those things were commonly seen in the Cultivation World, but they were rare on earth, because their materials were too precious for one to forge them alone.
They returned along the way they came. It was almost evening and they finally passed the basin-shaped valley, which was beautiful but full of terror. Finally, they made it out of the dead zone.
Upon their arriving, they heard engines roaring in the air. Soon a big military transport helicopter landed on the ground.
Seeing the helicopter arriving, Qin Haodong and others were immediately alarmed because of a bunch of things that had happened. They wondered if there were enemies or friends inside.
After the helicopter stabilized, seven or eight people got off. Their leading ones were an old man and an old woman. The old man was in his seventies or eighties. He was tall and looked imposing.
At the same time, the lady looked the other way. Her hair was all grey but her skin looked fair. Somehow she looked coquettish.
”Grandpa!”
”Grandma!”
Hu Xiaoxian and Lei Tianrui called out at the same time. Then both of them walked fast to the old man and the old lady.
The two were two elders from the Xuan Department of the Xuanyuan Pavilion. They were Hu Feifei and Lei Wanjun. Hu was Hu Xiaoxian's grandma, and Lei was Lei Tianrui's grandpa.
Qin Haodong checked the two. It turned out that the Xuanyuan Pavilion was indeed powerful. Both had reached the ninth level of Covert Power, no lower than the taoist, Dao Tong. They were one step away from entering the Supreme Power Realm.
”Grandma... Why are you here?”
Hu Xiaoxian held Hu Feifei's hand and asked.
”You're one to talk. It's been more than five days and we still didn't hear from you. How can we not be worried? We have to drop by and check.”
Hu Feifei seemed to be blaming Hu Xiaoxian, but her eyes were filled with love.
Hu Xiaoxian said, ”Grandma, it was not our fault. The place is so odd. We lost all the signals as soon as we got in.”
On the other side, Lei Wanjun looked at Lei Tianrui who was covered with wounds and asked, ”Kid, what happened to you? Who hurt you so bad?”
”Grandpa, it was him!” Lei Tianrui felt backed up after he saw Lei Wanjun. He turned back and pointed at Qin Haodong. Then he said, ”He hurt me and took away the treasures of our Xuanyuan Pavilion.”
Seeing the guy getting back at him again, Qin Haodong frowned slightly. The guy did show some patriotism when confronted with the Japanese ninjas, but beyond that, nothing in him had changed.
”Young man, did you hurt my grandson?”
Lei Wanjun took the first two steps forward and stood in front of Qin Haodong face to face, giving out an overwhelming aura. Ordinary warriors in the fifth level of Covert Power would've crashed down, but not Qin Haodong, who had a strong Spirit. A cultivator in the ninth level of Covert Power was far from enough for him to treat seriously.
Seeing Qin Haodong remained calm, Lei Wanjun got confused. He was going to move but somebody moved first. Hu Xiaoxian stood before Qin Haodong and yelled, ”Grandpa Lei, that's not true.”
Lei Tianrui yelled, ”Hu Xiaoxian. With what he has done to me, are you really defending an outsider?”
Hu Xiaoxian answered loudly, ”Lei Tianrui, have you no shame? How many times has he helped you? You could've died a thousand times if he hadn't helped. Now you're getting back at him?”
Hu Feifei took her dragon head crutch and walked over. She stopped Hu Xiaoxian and asked, ”Girl, what was going on? Who's this young man?”
Hu Xiaoxian said shyly, ”Grandma, he's my boyfriend.”
Hu Feifei asked in surprise, ”You grandpa said you've been backfired by Fox Hypnosis, was it because of him?”
”That's him!”
Hu Xiaoxian nodded and answered.
Hu Feifei looked at Qin Haodong again, and this time, she was like a grandma looking at her grandson-in-law. She then nodded with satisfaction, ”Fine. He seems nice and qualified to be my grandson-in-law.”
She was actually worried when she first heard that Hu Xiaoxian had been backfired by the Fox Hypnosis, because she thought it might be an old and ugly guy. Now it turned out it was a young and handsome young man; she felt happy for Hu Xiaoxian.
At the time, she looked at the little fellow and asked Hu Xiaoxian, ”Who's this little girl? Is she your daughter?”
Hu Xiaoxian blushed and asked, ”Grandma, what are you talking about? How could I have the time? That's Haodong's daughter.”
”It's a pity. He was a nice guy, but with a daughter.” Hu Feifei looked pitiful and said, ”That's fine. He's better than an old man, and the little girl is adorable.”
Seeing Hu Feifei and Hu Xiaoxian judging him from head to toe, as if they were actually picking up a grandson-in-law, he felt helpless, but couldn't find a proper excuse to stop them.
