My wife who comes from a wealthy family-Chapter 871 - 872 The Story of the Old Rogue and Grandpa

"What? My grandfather went to the Virtual Spirit Realm?" Ye Wudao, Su Yueli, and the others were utterly shocked.

"Yes." Ye Lingtian nodded with complete certainty and said, "Not only did he go, but he also came back alive from the Virtual Spirit Realm!"

Hiss!

Everyone gasped in unison.

Jiusha was dumbfounded, his face full of disbelief. "Going to the Virtual Spirit Realm is one thing, but coming back alive? Just how strong must Elder Ye Zhenguo be?"

Ye Lingtian was equally curious.

On Kunlun Mountain, there exists a Heaven-Linking Rope, which connects to the Virtual Spirit Realm!

But with his own strength, he could barely take a single step!

To cross the Heaven-Linking Rope and make it to the Virtual Spirit Realm...

Ye Wudao speculated.

At the very least, one must be a Unity Realm Stage master!

Possibly even an ancient powerhouse above the Unity Realm Stage!

Ye Lingtian said slowly, "Your grandfather was once called the greatest cultivator of Dragon Country..."

"Gulp!" Ye Wudao swallowed a mouthful of saliva.

The greatest cultivator of Dragon Country!

What a terrifying title!

Dominating an entire era!

"Ah, I hope your mother is doing well in the Virtual Spirit Realm." Ye Lingtian sighed, his eyes growing slightly red.

A couple who had cherished each other for a lifetime!

Suddenly separated by the boundary of life and death!

Ye Lingtian’s heart ached more than anyone could imagine.

Ye Wudao looked at Ye Lingtian’s pained expression, understanding that his father was heartbroken at this moment.

"Dad, don’t worry. I swear I will go to the Virtual Spirit Realm and bring Mom back!" Ye Wudao vowed.

"You brat, your skills are lacking, but your boasts are big!" At this moment, a familiar voice echoed.

Ye Wudao turned his head and saw an old man dressed like a beggar appear.

"Godfather!" Ye Lingtian’s face lit up with excitement.

"God-grandfather!" Ye Wudao quickly stepped forward to greet him.

"Greetings, Grandpa Old Scoundrel," Su Yueli greeted politely.

"Haha, hello, Yueli girl!" The Old Scoundrel looked at Su Yueli with approval, his tone softening with affection.

"God-grandfather, what brings you here?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"Why? I’m not allowed to come to your house?" The Old Scoundrel gave Ye Wudao a sidelong glance.

"God-grandfather, that’s not what I meant. Of course, you’re always welcome here. I’d be thrilled if you’d stay with the Ye family!" Ye Wudao quickly flattered.

What a joke!

Ye Wudao still couldn’t discern the Old Scoundrel’s true cultivation level!

There were only two possibilities in such cases!

First: The Old Scoundrel had no cultivation at all and was just an ordinary person!

That was nearly impossible!

The Old Scoundrel was knowledgeable and experienced, even catching Spirit Transformation Realm demonic beasts while fishing at sea!

Such a person couldn’t possibly be an ordinary mortal!

Second: The Old Scoundrel was profoundly powerful, beyond comprehension!

Far exceeding the Spirit Transformation Realm!

For a powerhouse like the Old Scoundrel, wherever he went, no matter the sect or faction, wouldn’t others treat him like a revered ancestor?

If he were willing to stay at the Ye family...

Tsk tsk!

With such a fearsome cultivator guarding the Ye family,

Who would dare challenge them?

The Old Scoundrel gave Ye Wudao a hard stare, seeing through him at a glance. "You little brat, you think I don’t know your petty little schemes? Want me to stay at the Ye family? Can you even afford the price?"

"Hehe, as long as you’re willing, I could scrape together some money!" Ye Wudao said with a laugh.

"Oh really?" The Old Scoundrel slowly held up two fingers, saying, "Not much, just a hundred, maybe eighty million Spirit Crystals a year. Then I’ll guard your Ye family. Anyone dares to mess with you? I’ll smack them!"

A hundred or so million Spirit Crystals!

Hearing this astronomical figure, Ye Wudao couldn’t help but take a deep breath and then awkwardly chuckled. "God-grandfather, stop joking!"

"I’m not joking. That’s the discounted friendship price!" The Old Scoundrel put his hands behind his back, then ignored Ye Wudao and asked Ye Lingtian, "Lingtian, I’ve finally made it to your Ye family. Where are the food and wine?"

"Already prepared, it will be ready in just a moment!" Ye Lingtian responded immediately.

"Hurry up, I’m starving!" The Old Scoundrel urged.

A moment later, Jiusha reported, "Big Brother, the food is ready!"

"Great. Godfather, please!" Ye Lingtian gestured respectfully.

"No need. Bring the food here," the Old Scoundrel said.

"Alright, alright, someone bring the food over, and also bring out all of Ye family’s finest wine to honor my godfather!" Ye Lingtian ordered.

Soon, a lavish banquet was laid out. The Old Scoundrel naturally sat at the head of the table, Ye Lingtian seated at his right as the main host, while Ye Wudao and Su Yueli sat together.

Jiusha, however, being weaker in cultivation, was not qualified to sit and stood to the side.

"Alright, Jiusha boy, you sit too," the Old Scoundrel said.

"Thank you, Senior Old Scoundrel!" Jiusha said excitedly, taking the furthest seat cautiously.

"Godfather, please have a drink!" Ye Lingtian poured a glass of wine and offered it respectfully to the Old Scoundrel.

The Old Scoundrel took a sip and showed a satisfied expression. "The wine from your Ye family really is the best!"

"Godfather, you are family to us Ye’s. This is your home, and you’re welcome to stay as long as you wish!" Ye Lingtian said.

The Old Scoundrel was very pleased with Ye Lingtian’s flattery and glanced at Ye Wudao. "You brat, learn from your father. You can’t even say a proper word!"

"Hehe!" Ye Wudao chuckled sheepishly and picked some food for Su Yueli.

The Old Scoundrel suddenly asked, "Has Qin’er gone to the Virtual Spirit Realm?"

"God-grandfather, how did you know?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"What nonsense? What in this world can be hidden from me?" The Old Scoundrel shot Ye Wudao a glare.

"Yes, Godfather," Ye Lingtian confirmed with a nod.

"Ah, it’s all fate!" The Old Scoundrel said, patting Ye Lingtian on the shoulder in comfort before adding, "With your talent, forget about going to the Virtual Spirit Realm in this lifetime. Find another way."

Ye Lingtian looked awkward beyond words.

Is that supposed to be comforting?

"I won’t look for anyone else. Without Qin’er, I’d rather spend my life alone," Ye Lingtian replied.

"If my father can’t go, I’ll go in his place!" Ye Wudao declared.

"Sure, when you step into the Unity Realm, then come talk to me," the Old Scoundrel shook his head.

"God-grandfather, did my grandfather also go there?" Ye Wudao asked.

"So what if he did?" The Old Scoundrel countered, his eyes drifting into memory. "Back then, your grandfather went first. After he came back, he told us a lot about the Virtual Spirit Realm. We were tempted, so the second time, I went too..."

What?

Everyone at the table froze in shock. fɾēewebnσveℓ.com

"Godfather, you went there too?" Ye Lingtian asked, astonished.

"Yes."

"And what happened after that?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"Later, we were hunted down. Your grandfather fought to protect us, allowing us to escape, while Ye Zhenguo stayed behind in the Virtual Spirit Realm alone!" The Old Scoundrel heaved a sigh and took a swig of wine. This clearly remained a heavy wound on his heart.

Everyone was shocked!

"God-grandfather, what exactly is in the Virtual Spirit Realm?" Ye Wudao asked curiously.

"The Virtual Spirit Realm is not something you should be prying into. It’s no utopia, but a horrifying place where humans prey on humans, and demons devour demons..." A feral light flashed in the Old Scoundrel’s eyes before he fell silent, refusing to elaborate further.

Though Ye Wudao kept quiet, his curiosity only deepened in his heart.

He was determined—he had to see it for himself!
