Upon hearing the name "Liu Honggang," Chen Yang paused for a moment, then slapped his thigh, a wave of guilt washing over him: "Damn it! How could I forget my father-in-law's grandfather!"

He married three of someone else's granddaughters, and now he's completely forgotten about his grandfather!

Chen Yang quickly said, "Quick! I'll go greet them right now!"

He told Su Yunwang and the others to wait in the living room, then quickly ran outside!

Jiang Yan looked at Su Yunwang with some confusion: "Brother Su, who is this Liu Honggang?"

Su Yunwang laughed and explained, "Who else could it be? It's Chen Yang's father-in-law! That kid married three wives, and that old geezer Liu Honggang is the grandfather of all three!"

Upon hearing this, everyone suddenly realized what was going on!

Outside the palace at this time.

Liu Honggang stood there with three members of his Liu family, feeling somewhat uneasy.

Previously in Qingzhou City, he had been hiding to avoid being hunted down by the Prime Minister's Mansion. Only recently, after hearing that the Prime Minister's Mansion had been destroyed, did he dare to come to the capital to inquire about the whereabouts of Chen Yang and his granddaughter!

Someone told him that Chen Yang was currently in the palace!

Liu Honggang didn't know how high a position Chen Yang had held, but he thought that Chen Yang must have made a great contribution by transporting the iron ore back then!

Just as Liu Honggang was pacing anxiously outside the palace, Chen Yang strode over, laughing heartily, "Grandpa! You've finally arrived!"

Liu Honggang nodded to Chen Yang and quickly whispered, "Chen Yang, this is the Ming Dynasty Imperial Palace after all. Don't speak so loudly, lest you break the rules!"

Chen Yang laughed heartily, his face full of guilt: "My bad, my bad! Grandpa, I've been so busy lately, I completely forgot to send someone to look for you! Come on, let's go inside!"

With that, Chen Yang led Liu Honggang and the others into the palace and into the living room!

Liu Honggang was uneasy. He would tug at Chen Yang from time to time, reminding him to pay attention to his appearance.

She still harbored some resentment towards Chen Yang.

Although this guy is quite good, he still managed to get three of his granddaughters at once. Humph, this kid really got a good deal!

However, he was too unruly.

Inside the living room, Liu Honggang's strength was only at the peak of the Blood Exchange Realm. When he saw Qi Yue, Jiang Yan and the others, he couldn't help but feel a chill - the aura of these people seemed unfathomable!

Qi Yue, Jiang Yan, Yin Huozun, and others naturally dared not be presumptuous!

They knew that Liu Honggang was Chen Yang's father-in-law's grandfather, and they had also heard that Chen Yang used to be a son-in-law who married into the Liu family.

That means that the old man in front of him, who is at the Blood Exchange Realm, is not only Chen Yang's elder, but also Chen Yang's clan leader!

The group quickly stood up and greeted Liu Honggang respectfully!

As for Su Yunwang, although he still harbored some resentment towards Liu Honggang, he couldn't help but marvel at the old man's good fortune—he actually managed to take Chen Yang as his son-in-law when Chen Yang was down on his luck, and even married off all three of his granddaughters to him!

That old bastard has a really sharp eye for investment!

Although Liu Honggang didn't know Qi Yue or Yin Huozun, he did know Su Yunwang!

He was well aware of Su Yunwang's high status in the capital! And these people in front of him, who could sit on equal footing with Su Yunwang, were naturally all powerful figures!

Liu Honggang hurriedly returned the greeting, his attitude extremely respectful.

Chen Yang then walked directly to the head seat and said, "Grandpa, there's no need for so much formality. Everyone here is family, please sit down!"

Liu Honggang, standing below, was utterly astonished to see Chen Yang sitting in the main seat. He was even somewhat dazed at that moment.

At this moment, Su Yunwang chuckled and said to Liu Honggang, "Old Liu, what are you standing there for? If you don't sit down, none of these people will dare to sit down. Do you really want everyone to be so tired?"

Liu Honggang was startled by these words. He glared at Su Yunwang and said, "Old man Su, what do you mean by that?"

Su Yunwang chuckled and said, "You're just lucky! Your son ran off with my daughter, and now your three wonderful granddaughters have all married good men! Can't you see Chen Yang's true identity now?"

Liu Honggang was even more shocked when he heard this!

Qi Yue walked over and pulled Liu Honggang to sit down. Only then did the others sit down.

Liu Honggang's heart was in turmoil. He never expected that his grandson-in-law, whom he had despised in Qingzhou City, would become the person in charge of the Ming Dynasty! How could this be?

The key point is that he could also tell that Su Yunwang and the others all had great respect for Chen Yang!

Chen Yang asked Liu Honggang, "Grandpa, what brings you here today?"

Upon hearing this question, Liu Honggang no longer dared to underestimate Chen Yang. He said, "Chen Yang, I haven't seen my three granddaughters for a long time since we parted ways in Qingzhou City. So this time I came to the capital to see them."

Chen Yang felt a little embarrassed when he heard this. He thought for a moment and said to Liu Honggang, "Grandpa, to be honest, Zhichun and Qingxia have both gone to Zhongzhou. I also want to see them, but I can't see them for the time being."

Upon hearing this, Liu Honggang felt both happy for his granddaughter and a little nostalgic. He then asked Chen Yang, "I wonder if my third granddaughter, Nianqiu, is with you?"

Chen Yang shook his head and said, "Ever since she went to Qingzhou City to find medicinal herbs for you, she has disappeared without a trace. I have been sending people to look for her, but we haven't been able to find her."

At this moment, Jiang Yan, who was sitting to the side, suddenly exclaimed in surprise, "You mean Liu Nianqiu? I do know her; she joined my Sword Dao Pavilion some time ago! But she... um..."

At this moment, Yuanyuan spoke up directly, "Xiao Jiang, at a time like this, you don't need to be so secretive about what you're saying!"

Then Yuanyuan said directly to Chen Yang, "Liu Nianqiu has a special aura and is extremely talented! After Xiao Jiang and I met her, we begged her to join our Sword Dao Pavilion and even taught her the true meaning of swordsmanship for a period of time."

"However, two months ago, Xiao Jiang, Liu Nianqiu, and three other disciples and I went to the seabed to check the destroyed immortal root veins. Originally, I was thinking of checking the condition of the destroyed immortal root first, and after I established my foundation and killed those law enforcement officers from Tianhai Sect, I would focus on repairing the immortal root."

"But after inspecting the seabed, I discovered that the ley lines were so badly damaged that my energy was completely insufficient to repair them! During the inspection, Liu Nianqiu ignored all advice and insisted on entering, only to be swallowed by the broken ley line black hole and disappear! I am not strong enough to save her, and as for her fate, I have no idea."

Upon hearing this, Chen Yang suddenly stood up, his face filled with surprise and sadness!

Liu Nianqiu's concubine was quirky and clever, and treated him extremely well. I never expected that she might have died in the ley lines!

Upon hearing these words, Liu Honggang slumped into his chair!

He never expected that after coming to the capital to search for his three granddaughters, he would find that they had either left or died, and that they were now separated by death forever! Overwhelmed with grief, he could no longer suppress his emotions and burst into tears on the spot.

Jiang Yan quickly stood up and apologized to Chen Yang and Liu Honggang: "Lord Chen, Old Master, this matter was caused by our Sword Dao Pavilion's recklessness. Please forgive us!"

Yuanyuan was much more straightforward. She said directly, "Xiao Jiang, although the Sword Dao Pavilion bears some responsibility for this matter, the main reason is that Liu Nianqiu is too naughty and willful and insisted on doing it. You don't need to blame yourself too much."

Chen Yang sighed softly, then asked Yuan Yuan, "Miss Yuan Yuan, is there any good way to repair that earth vein immortal root?"

Yuanyuan shook her head and said, "The destruction of that earth vein immortal root must have been the work of the Golden Core Immortal of Tianhai Sect! The entire earth vein immortal root in the seabed has been completely destroyed. Tianhai Sect is so inhuman that they would destroy the spiritual vein in order to turn this place into a sea monster breeding farm! With your current strength, it is impossible for you to repair it successfully."

"However, you're just a little kid after all, so there's no need to worry too much! As a person, just take on the responsibilities that come with your abilities, and don't be too anxious."

"Alright, it's time for me to leave! Chen Yang, please take good care of our Sword Dao Pavilion in the future! If you ever go to Zhongzhou and we meet again, I will protect you!"

Yuan Yuan smiled, and then with a "whoosh," her beautiful body instantly transformed into a sword light, soaring into the sky and disappearing into the horizon!
