Chapter 84: Bringing Wei Qingqiu Home to Meet My Parents

Even in his previous life, before Chu Tian went to seek vengeance against Situ Deng, he had never thoroughly investigated the true background of the Situ family.

In his view, the enmity between himself and the Situ family was irreconcilable; regardless of their connections, nothing could deter his resolve to kill Situ Deng.

Once he slew Situ Deng, Chu Tian would immediately leave Tianmen City, and the Situ family would have no way to find him for revenge.

After all, the Chu family had already been annihilated, and his seven senior sisters had departed from Tianmen City as well.

In his past life, Tianmen City held nothing worth Chu Tian’s attachment; this was the reason he had resolved to leave.

But today, from Wei Yuansheng’s lips, Chu Tian learned a shocking secret!

“The current head of the Situ family is Situ Feng’s father, Situ Wu-han.”

“But do you know who Situ Feng’s uncle is?”

Wei Yuansheng asked.

Chu Tian shook his head.

“Situ Feng’s uncle is none other than the head of the Jinling main family, Situ Invincible.”

Wei Yuansheng’s expression was grave, his tone growing more solemn.

“Who is this Situ Invincible?” Chu Tian asked.

“Twenty years ago, Situ Invincible had already reached the pinnacle of Martial Lord, acclaimed as the foremost figure in the ancient martial world of Jiangnan!”

Wei Yuansheng spoke with reverence, a glint of reminiscence in his eyes.

“The foremost figure in Jiangnan’s ancient martial world?”

“Why have I never heard of him?”

Chu Tian frowned. Whether in his past or present life, he had never heard the name Situ Invincible, as if this person had never existed.

“Twenty years ago, at the peak of Martial Lord, Situ Invincible suddenly announced he would enter seclusion for cultivation, vowing never to emerge unless he broke through to the Martial Saint realm.”

“In recent years, Situ Invincible has vanished as if evaporated; there is no news of him anywhere in Jiangnan. Many believe he failed in his breakthrough and has long since perished.”

“Yet the Situ family has never acknowledged his death, nor have they revealed whether he is alive.”

“It is precisely because of his existence that the Situ family dares to act so lawlessly; even the Ancient Martial Administration Bureau doesn’t dare interfere lightly.”

Wei Yuansheng explained the whole story; this was the true reason the Bureau feared the Situ family.

Only now did Chu Tian finally understand.

That was why his Fifth Senior Sister repeatedly warned him never to seek vengeance against the Situ family.

So, behind the Situ family, there was an even greater power lurking.

But even if he is a Martial Lord at his peak, so what?

Chu Tian still wouldn’t take Situ Invincible seriously, nor would he feel the slightest fear!

“Mr. Chu, Situ Invincible was already at the peak of Martial Lord twenty years ago. If he’s still alive and has cultivated in seclusion for twenty years, he very likely has already ascended to Martial Saint.”

Wei Yuansheng sighed again, his face full of worry.

“Old Wei, what kind of realm is Martial Saint? Could you tell me?”

Chu Tian paused; in his previous life, he had only encountered low-level martial artists and didn’t know much about cultivation in the ancient martial world.

Wei Yuansheng was experienced; since he had brought up Martial Saint, Chu Tian hoped to learn more from him.

“I’ve only heard legends of Martial Saints, but have never seen one myself.”

“It’s said that once a martial artist breaks through to the Martial Saint realm, he is no longer bound by mortal flesh. His lifespan can extend for centuries, his power capable of splitting seas and mountains, able to kill a Martial Lord with a flick of the finger.”

Wei Yuansheng’s eyes were filled with longing, though he knew this was a realm he could never touch.

“Slay a Martial Lord with a flick of the finger?”

Chu Tian murmured, as if recalling something.

Present-day Grandmasters remain at the level of projecting inner strength; even Martial Lords only wrap their energy around their bodies.

Such martial prowess, in the world of immortal cultivation, would be no more than the lowest stage of Qi Refinement.

But to kill a Martial Lord in an instant, one would likely need the power of Foundation Establishment.

Could it be that Martial Saints are comparable to Foundation Establishment cultivators from Chu Tian’s previous life?

“Mr. Chu, you must be careful. Never take this lightly!”

Wei Yuansheng cautioned.

“Thank you for the warning, Old Wei. I will keep it in mind.”

Chu Tian nodded, his tone as calm as ever.

Wei Yuansheng could hear the confidence in Chu Tian’s voice.

He felt Chu Tian was too self-assured, which might not be a good thing.

But since Chu Tian had spoken, Wei Yuansheng didn’t press further, letting the matter rest.

At the same time, Chu Tian grew more vigilant.

He had thought that breaking through to Martial Lord would be enough to protect himself and those around him.

But after hearing Wei Yuansheng’s words, he realized there were far more hidden masters in this world than he imagined; he must continue to advance his cultivation.

Just then, Wei Qingqiu descended the stairs, clad in a short-sleeved round-neck top.

“Chu Tian, what are you talking about with my grandfather?”

Wei Qingqiu entered the living room, curiously sizing up Chu Tian and then the wryly smiling Wei Yuansheng.

“Nothing much, just chatting.”

Chu Tian offered no further explanation, not wanting Wei Qingqiu to worry.

“Then why did you suddenly come looking for me today without calling ahead?”

Wei Qingqiu was half skeptical, but didn’t press.

“Qingqiu, I want to take you home to meet my parents.”

Chu Tian spoke openly, declaring his purpose.

“Meet your parents?”

Wei Qingqiu was stunned, her cheeks flushing red.

Although she and Chu Tian had already established their relationship, this was the first time she would visit his family. Wasn’t it a bit too sudden?

“Haha, it’s only a matter of time.”

Wei Yuansheng was surprised as well, but quickly reacted and burst into hearty laughter.

Afternoon, Lakeside Villa District.

“Mom, I’m home.”

Chu Tian pushed open the door and entered the villa.

Wei Qingqiu followed closely behind, her face a little tense.

After all, this was her first time meeting Chu Tian’s family.

“No need to be so nervous.”

Chu Tian gently took Wei Qingqiu’s hand and led her inside.

“Woof woof!”

At that moment, a small black dog ran up to Chu Tian’s feet, wagging its tail.

“How adorable!”

Wei Qingqiu’s eyes lit up, instantly captivated by the little dog.

She squatted down and played with its cheeks.

Perhaps because of Chu Tian’s scent on her hands, the small dog wasn’t afraid, licking her palm and making Wei Qingqiu laugh.

“Xiao Tian, you’re back?”

Lin Yue came at the sound, intending to greet Chu Tian, but her gaze fell on Wei Qingqiu.
