Journey of the Fate Destroying Emperor novel Chapter 711

"I saw you going to Yan Chen's hut. What was that about?" asked Wang Chang while flying toward Wang Clan Mountain.

"Oh, that," replied Wang Wei as he explained what happened in his conversation with Yan Chen.

"You did a good job. You should never forget the people who helped you when you were weak–especially after standing above all living things."

Wang Wei nodded. He has read many tales of Great Emperors becoming cold and indifferent after proving the Dao. They looked down on the people who once helped them, abandoned their past friendship and connection, and treated people with heads above the cloud.

Wang Wei understood that some alienation is inevitable. After all, when a person has as much power and influence as a Great Emperor, it's difficult for some of his old friends and acquaintances to treat them the same. With the difference in lifespan, it's in the best interest of some Emperors not to be too invested in some friendship unless they plan to help these people achieve immortality.

Regardless, Wang Wei would never become one of these Emperors.

After arriving home, his mother had already prepared dinner. However, Wu Hong did not show up, and Wang Wei understood why. His wife is often placed in an awkward position during large family gatherings.

Technically speaking, she is the oldest of the group. However, as Wang Wei's Dao Companion, her seniority is that of a younger generation. And if you add her status and strength as an Emperor, no, Paragon, things become more complicated.

His family members are all intelligent people, so they've guessed her true identity, which can make things awkward, especially when his grandfather is present. After all, the old man should have the highest status in the family due to his age, but he has to restrain himself around his daughter-in-law.

With his personality, Wang Wei did not care about the awkwardness and found it entertaining instead, using it to his advantage to make fun of his wife. Of course, he often gets beat up afterward, but Wang Wei always thinks it's worth seeing his wife squirm during these gatherings.

"Daughter, how have you been?" asked Wang Chang the moment he entered the manner.

"I'm alright. But father, how are you?" asked Yu Yan, noticing the change of aura in his father-in-law.

"I have not felt at peace in such a long time," replied Wang Chang with a big sigh. Then, he grinned.

"Where is my stupid son?"

"He's in retreat?"

"Retreat? Is everything alright?" According to his calculation, his son should have become a Quasi-Emperor long ago. So, he would need to enter retreat unless something went wrong.

"He's alright; he's just tempering his body."

Wang Chang was even more surprised by this news. "What's going on?"

"His son and the founder enlightened him," replied Yu Yan before explaining the cause and effect of Wang Tian's retreat.

"Hahahaha," laughed Wang Chang boisterously. "This is even better news than my successful retreat. For close to a million years. I've told that kid he should temper his body, trying to convince him it would not interfere with his Sword Dao."

Wang Chang could not help but remember the stubbornness of his son. Over the years, it was the only time his son was 'unfilial' and fought with him without giving up. No, there was also when he wanted to marry Yu Yan and still fight her in the Heaven Will Battle.

If it were not for his insistence, Wang Tian would never have condensed a fifth-grade Essence Flower; maybe, the latter would not surpass the ninth grade.

"I'm glad he is seeing the light now." _{freewёbnoνel.com}

"Yes, better late than never," uttered Yu Yan.

Meanwhile, Wang Wei suddenly thought of something and asked. "Grandpa, have you ever considered reviving grandma?"

Immediately after saying these words, Wang Wei knew he had made a mistake. Wang Chang's energetic vibe became quiet and somber.
