"Mom, what did you say?"
Li Dan stared intently at Lin Qing, unable to believe what Lin Qing had just said.
This Yang Tian was clearly just a wild boy, not suitable for her daughter Wang Ying.
How could a jade pendant from Yang Tian change Lin Qing's attitude so quickly?
"There's no mistake! Our family has two jade pendants passed down through generations: the Dragon and Phoenix Pendants. The Dragon Pendant is with the male clan leader, representing the head of the family, and the Phoenix Pendant is with me. But decades ago, the Dragon Pendant disappeared."
Lin Qing explained seriously.
"Grandma, what does this jade pendant do?"
Wang Yue asked innocently from the side.
"This Dragon Pendant represents the clan leader of the Wang Family. If you acquire it and receive the ancestors' approval, the corresponding name will appear!"
Lin Qing spoke with increasing excitement.
"So, does the 'Yang' character on the jade pendant mean that Yang Tian has already received our ancestors' recognition?"
Wang Ying asked, furrowing her brow slightly, lost in thought.
"Exactly, the 'Yang' character on the Dragon Pendant shows that Yang Tian has been accepted by our Wang Family. He can not only become our son-in-law but also the head of our Wang Family!"
Lin Qing said.
"That's great, that's great! Big brother is going to be my brother-in-law..."
Wang Yue cheered, hugging Yang Tian's leg, her face full of joy.
Yang Tian pinched Wang Yue's adorable cheek, feeling joyous inside as well.
This is great, not only can he be with Wang Ying, but he can do it boldly and legally now.
"But mom, this..."
Li Dan wanted to say something, but was stopped by Lin Qing: "You have nothing to say. Since the Dragon Pendant has acknowledged Yang Tian, he is Yingying's fiancé!"
"Fiancé?"
Wang Ying was on the verge of tears.
It was supposed to be a fling, the type where they part ways at dawn.
How did she end up with a fiancé?
If this got out, how could she hold her head high in front of the other three beautiful female CEOs? How could she stand in the upper echelons of East Sea society?
Thinking of this, Wang Ying glared fiercely at Yang Tian, feeling frustrated: If only this guy had used protection, it wouldn't have caused so much trouble!
"Thank you, grandma!"
Yang Tian wasn't someone to be messed with. Seeing Wang Ying disliked him, he simply sidled up and wrapped his arm around Wang Ying's slender waist.
"What are you doing?"
Wang Ying's face stiffened.
"Yingying, grandma said it already, I'm your fiancé!"
Yang Tian chuckled.
Wang Ying wanted to push Yang Tian away, but hearing his words, she was left speechless.
And Yang Tian, of course, didn't behave. He decisively pinched Wang Ying's slim waist: Damn, this feels amazing. That night of indulgence was too rushed, didn't get to properly appreciate the beautiful CEO's slender waist!
Feeling the touch on her waist, Wang Ying's expression changed, and she shoved Yang Tian away: "You pervert!"
"Yingying, he's not a pervert, he's your fiancé, and the one recognized by our ancestors!"
Lin Qing quickly interjected.
"Grandma..."
Wang Ying felt like crying but had no tears.
As a grand group CEO, was she really going to marry a philandering pervert?
"Yingying, you have nothing to say. Since the Dragon Pendant has reappeared, and it has the young man's name carved on it, it means our Wang Family is destined for something big. You must marry this young man no matter what, it's fate!"
Lin Qing, being superstitious, was very firm in her stance.
"But grandma..."
Wang Ying wanted to say something, but Lin Qing interrupted her: "You have nothing to say, just follow my wishes! I'm your grandma, you have to listen to me!"
Wang Ying also felt somewhat upset.
As a CEO, she was supposed to listen to Lin Qing and marry Yang Tian?
But she couldn't refute her grandma, only harbor resentment towards Yang Tian in her heart: This pervert, it must be his doing.
Feeling Wang Ying's blazing resentment, Yang Tian decisively wrapped his arm around her slender waist.
He leaned over and took a deep whiff of the fragrance from Wang Ying: "So fragrant..."
"You..."
For a moment, Wang Ying was so angry that her face flushed red.
"Hehe..."
Seeing the interaction between Wang Ying and Yang Tian, Lin Qing laughed. She waved her hand and immediately instructed someone to prepare a dinner party. She then took a deep look at Yang Tian, and walked into the inner courtyard, unsure of what she was going to do.
About half an hour later, Lin Qing came out again, followed by an old man.
The old man wore sunglasses, looking quite odd. Despite the hot weather, he wore a long-sleeved traditional outfit.
Moreover, he was holding a flower pot.
The flower pot was bizarre too, as it held a long-withered flower.
The old man walked out silently, instantly drawing everyone's attention.
"President Wang, is this your grandfather?"
Yang Tian couldn't help but ask.
Wang Ying shook her head: "No, he's my grandma's savior. Because he is blind, grandma let him stay here as a form of gratitude."
"Oh."
Yang Tian nodded, his gaze falling on the flower pot in the old man's hands.
How could it look more and more strange?
"Master Wu, let me introduce a young man to you. He's Yingying's fiancé, recognized by the Wang Family's Dragon Pendant. The name carved inside the Dragon Pendant is indeed the young man's name; he is Yang Tian!"
Lin Qing spoke respectfully.
This puzzled Yang Tian, how could the old man's status be higher than Lin Qing's?
"Young man, you're quite capable..."
Master Wu spoke.
Although Master Wu wore sunglasses and claimed to be blind, Yang Tian felt a burning gaze fixed on him.
He activated the X-ray Vision Technique, probing behind Master Wu's sunglasses.
Indeed, Master Wu's eye sockets were empty.
But why did Master Wu have such a fiery aura about him?
Yang Tian used his Divine Sense to probe and was a bit surprised: this Master Wu was definitely not simple, carrying the aura of an Ancient Martial Artist.
"Uncle, your eyes aren't well, you should rest more! Let me help you to the sofa..."
Yang Tian approached and channeled Spiritual Breath to support Master Wu.
This stream of Spiritual Breath flowed into Master Wu's body.
But the next moment, an even more powerful Spiritual Breath surged from Master Wu's body, pushing Yang Tian's hand away.
"Young man, you're not simple either..."
Master Wu remarked.
Then Master Wu also used his Divine Sense to probe Yang Tian.
Master Wu frowned, surprised, but then delighted: "Very good, very good, I've been with the Wang Family for decades, and I've finally met a kindred spirit."
"Master Wu, this is?"
Lin Qing was a bit surprised, as Master Wu usually kept a cold demeanor, so why was he so interested in Yang Tian?
"Madam Lin, you must marry your granddaughter to this young man!"
Master Wu said seriously.
"Even you, Master Wu, approve of this young man? Haha..."
Lin Qing laughed, not expecting Master Wu to also favor Yang Tian, which only strengthened her resolve to marry her granddaughter to him.
"This is troublesome..."
Wang Ying was somewhat displeased, feeling herself entangled deeper with Yang Tian.
She looked towards Yang Tian, noticing his handsome profile, her heart skipped a beat.
One must admit, Yang Tian was quite handsome.
If he weren't so flirtatious, he'd be a great candidate for marriage.
Thinking of this, Wang Ying sighed softly.
However, Yang Tian paid no attention to Wang Ying's sigh. Instead, he focused on probing Master Wu with the X-ray Vision Technique.
He always felt this Master Wu was not simple!
Soon, a hint of surprise flashed in Yang Tian's eyes.
Using the X-ray Vision Technique, he found that Master Wu had a fake skin on his face. If not mistaken, this was not Master Wu's true appearance; he was disguising himself with a fake face.
Yang Tian coldly chuckled to himself: This Master Wu, deeply embedded within the Wang family and disguised, was definitely not simple.
"Young man, you should treat the Wang family's granddaughter well..."
Master Wu said meaningfully to Yang Tian.
"Of course, but I really want to know, who exactly are you?"
Yang Tian made a move directly.
He channeled Spiritual Breath into both his hands, the left striking towards Master Wu's body, while the right transformed into a strike, intending to tear off the mask on Master Wu's face.
"Oh?"
Master Wu seemed to have anticipated Yang Tian's move, merely letting out an "oh," not dodging or resisting.
This caused Yang Tian to frown.
According to his plan, he was going to repel Master Wu first, then use his right hand to tear off the mask on Master Wu's face.
Now, his fist heavily struck towards Master Wu's chest.
"Yang Tian, what are you doing?"
Wang Ying exclaimed.
In the blink of an eye, Master Wu suddenly raised the flowerpot in his hand.
Thus, Yang Tian's fist, infused with Spiritual Breath, hit the flowerpot in Master Wu's hand.
What puzzled Yang Tian was that the flower, which had long withered, suddenly exuded a force, continuously absorbing the Spiritual Breath from Yang Tian's fist.
Yes, the withered flower was absorbing the Spiritual Breath from Yang Tian's fist.
This sent a glint of killing intent through Yang Tian's eyes.
He became even more certain that this Master Wu was not simple, especially after seeing the flowerpot in Master Wu's hand.
Yang Tian wanted to retract his Spiritual Breath but found it somewhat uncontrollable.
"Enough!"
Finally, Master Wu uttered, and a surge of Spiritual Breath pushed Yang Tian away.
"Master Wu, what's with the flowerpot? Why does it absorb my Spiritual Breath?"
Yang Tian asked in a stern voice.
Master Wu did not answer Yang Tian but instead quietly gazed at the long-wilted flower in the pot.
After a while, his eyes filled with disappointment, he shook his head: "Still nothing..."
"Master Wu, what's going on?"
The confrontation between Yang Tian and Master Wu was so quick, only then did everyone react.
"It's nothing..."
Master Wu shook his head, setting the flowerpot aside.
But Yang Tian gave a cold snort: "Uncle, who exactly are you? Why are you disguised here?"
Upon hearing Yang Tian's words, everyone was stunned: "Yang Tian, what are you saying? Master Wu is disguised?"
Yang Tian did not answer them; instead, he swiftly moved.
This time, he exerted full power; with a flash, he aimed to tear the mask off Master Wu's face.
"Such speed!"
Master Wu exclaimed, but before he realized it, the mask on his face had already been torn off.
"It's you!"
Upon seeing Master Wu's true face, Yang Tian's expression darkened.
Wang Ying, Ling Ying, and Wang Yue, upon seeing Master Wu's true face, all had their expressions changed...
