Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

Kong Wen spread his hands and said, "I'm not eavesdropping. It's just that you were talking too loudly. Besides, it's just about this. There's nothing to be shy about."

Hua Li glared: "You still say that!"

Kong Wen asked curiously, "What can't be said?"

He raised his hand, revealing his smooth armpit. "Isn't it just armpit hair? I usually use tape to deal with it. Stick it on, and peel it off! It's quick and effective!"

Regardless of whether Kong Wen understood it or not, just hearing this description and seeing the large red area under his armpit was proof of the tape's presence.

He really meant it.

"Hiss..." Ruan Qingxue subconsciously clamped her left and right hands together. Maybe that's why it hurt just looking at it.

Hua Li couldn't swear anymore, so he could only pat Kong Wen and sigh: "Um...Awen, boys should be nicer to themselves."

Kong Wen was puzzled: "Why am I not good to myself?"

"Okay, stop talking. That's enough." Ruan Qingxue interrupted and handed over a bottle of mineral water: "Drink some water."

“Still iced.”

"I kept it cold."

"Oh, it's so cool." Kong Wen said, "You won't need air conditioning at home anymore."

"The air conditioner can generate heat." Hua Li rolled his eyes.

The three of them were chatting here. After nearly a month of rest and recuperation, they were all ready to go to Penglai to take the exam.

Today I went to the school gate and waited for the Penglai Admissions Office to pick me up.

At this time, the bus stopped at the bus stop and a figure got off the bus. The latter was an old man.

When we usually talk about the elderly, we can’t help but have a sense of old age. After all, aging is inevitable when people get old.

But this old man gives people the feeling that he is still strong despite his age. His hair has already turned white, but it is not dry white, but a light silver white, and it is combed very neatly.

Despite the hot weather, he was still dressed quite neatly, wearing a vest and jacket over his shirt and a bow tie.

The high temperature is enough to destroy the elegance brought by this suit, because it will be very hot, but the old man seems to be isolated from the heat, his expression is calm, and there is no sweat on his forehead. There is a scar on his forehead, which is slanted across his left eye. The wrinkles on his face, which is not old but weathered enough, are like those cast by wind and frost.

Simply put, this is a handsome old man.

When Hua Li saw it for the first time, he couldn't help but exclaim: "Wow...!"

Although Ruan Qingxue did not sigh, she couldn't help but look at the other person several times.

She couldn't see what was special about him, she just felt...

"Looks a little familiar." Kong Wen's beast-like intuition took effect, and he expressed Ruan Qingxue's inner doubts in one sentence.

"He does look familiar." Ruan Qingxue couldn't tell what was familiar about him, but she was sure that if she had seen this impressive handsome old man, she would never forget him.

While I was thinking about it, the handsome old man walked straight over and stood at the main entrance of the school.

"This is Nanling No. 3 Middle School." The old man touched his chin and said, "I haven't been back for a long time, but nothing has changed."

"Excuse me, Nanling No. 3 Middle School is out of session now," Hua Li said. "There are no students in class anymore. The school is currently closed."

"I know." The old man laughed. "I just came to visit. My grandson also went to school here for three years and suffered a lot."

Ruan Qingxue asked: "Your grandson?"

She suddenly realized something. Could this familiar feeling be...?

In an instant, Ruan Qingxue became alert, a little excited, and a blush appeared on her fair little face.

If it was true, she should have greeted him politely and seriously at this moment, showing good manners. She must not let her voice tremble or get nervous...

Just when Ruan Qingxue was telling herself this, someone else got there first.

"Oh, I remember now!" Kong Wen slapped his forehead: "Isn't this Bai Yu's grandfather?"

Ruan Qingxue looked at Kong Wen with a stiff neck, his face full of surprise. Kong Wen didn't notice the dark coldness in Miss Ruan's eyes at all. He rushed forward and shook the old man's hand. "Hello, old man, I'm Kong Wen. Bai Yu is my best buddy. We have been good brothers in the same class since junior high school!"

Bai Potian was shaken by the hand and asked in surprise, "So, you are all graduates of Class 1, Grade 3?"

The old man smiled and said, "It's an interesting encounter... Well, two of them have awakened their bloodlines, and three have reached the first level of transcendence. I didn't expect that the teaching level of Nanling No. 3 Middle School has reached this level."

With just a glance, he could tell the strength and realm of the three people.

Hua Li immediately realized that Mr. Bai was no ordinary person. He pushed Kong Wen aside and introduced himself: "Hello, Mr. Bai, I'm Hua Li, a class leader, and I've known Bai Yu for three years!"

Bai Potian's gaze lingered on Hua Li's face for a few seconds before he asked, "Is Hua Yuzhang yours?"

"grandfather."

"You two really look alike." Bai Potian praised, "Having you as his granddaughter, Hua Yuzhang should be able to rest in peace."

Hua Li looked at Bai Potian in surprise. Everyone in the family knew about Hua Yuzhang's death, but the outside world probably didn't know about it.

"Don't be surprised. I know Hua Yuzhang's condition well," Bai Potian sighed. "The last time I spoke with him was ten years ago, and he was already showing signs of premature aging. But this old man, who loves his family so much, will probably hold on for dear life... I'm afraid he won't even have a grave for people to visit."

Hua Li mustered up the courage to retort, "Grandpa died of exhaustion during a duel with Lin Haiya."

Bai Potian was genuinely surprised this time: "He can actually make up his mind?"

Hua Li didn't want to go into details, but nodded seriously: "Grandpa was very satisfied when he passed away. He found the warrior heart of his youth."

"This old fellow was actually able to defy his own fate... That's a good thing!"

Bai Potian laughed heartily, took out the military wine flask he carried with him and took a big gulp: "Dang Fu Da Bai!"

Chapter 320 Hello Grandpa, Goodbye Grandpa

This handsome old man is obviously an extraordinary person at first glance.

Hua Li was born in the Hua family and was raised by his grandfather since childhood, so he naturally knew what the demeanor of a master was.

She couldn't see the slightest trace of a master from Bai Potian. He looked like an ordinary person in every way, but he definitely couldn't be an ordinary person.

The latter's strength level should have reached a certain level, and it is no longer possible for him to explore.

At worst, it's a fourth level, or even...

Bai Potian, who was floating in the air, then looked at the last person.

Ruan Qingxue introduced herself: "My name is Ruan Qingxue, and I'm also Bai Yu's classmate. I... have received great kindness from him and have met Grandpa Bai."

Bai Potian looked at Ruan Qingxue with a more meticulous gaze, even with a bit of scrutiny, but he didn't say anything. The scrutiny in his eyes was not serious, but rather a kind of cherishing when appreciating antiques, calligraphy and paintings.

"Green Girl bloodline." Bai Potian said: "The Ruan family's fortunes have finally turned."

"What?" Ruan Qingxue didn't understand.

Bai Potian was just talking to himself, with a hint of teasing and mockery in his expression, as if he had let go of something that happened a long time ago.

"How incredible... So, the prediction that old man Miao Tianji made for the Ruan family, 'the bloodline will be cut off within a hundred years,' was wrong?"

"Back then, Ruan Tongcai spent all his money trying to figure out the mystery, but was frightened half to death by this half-immortal's divination."

"Ha, this stinky old Taoist priest, I knew he was just talking nonsense! He knows nothing about fate!"

He wanted to take another sip of wine, but stopped and looked at Ruan Qingxue again. His tone became gentler: "You probably don't understand. You were probably still a child at that time."

"Back then, your father spent a lot of money to get connections, went to the Astronomy Bureau, and asked Miao Tianji to tell his fortune. The result was that the Ruan family's luck had run out and their bloodline would be cut off."

"But now that you're here, it proves that the old Taoist priest's prediction was wrong."

"If he saw you, he would probably be ecstatic... The destiny of the world is divided into fifty great ways, forty-nine are derived from heaven, and only one is hidden by man. This is what Miu Tianji often said, but his divinations rarely missed it."

Ruan Qingxue was slightly startled and whispered, "Now, in the Ruan family, there are indeed only my brother and I left."

"The bloodline is severed, meaning no one in your family will survive, including you and your brother. Now that you've survived and your bloodline has revived, you've exceeded the limits of the hexagram." Bai Potian explained, "Don't worry, this hexagram is definitely wrong. Even if it was correct in the past, your fate has been rewritten."

This was the first time Ruan Qingxue had heard of such a thing. So, her parents might have known about the disaster in the family long ago?

Bai Potian narrowed his eyes slightly and couldn't help but unscrew the wine flask and take another sip. "It's really hard to resist. I've encountered several happy things in a row on this trip. Haha! But I can't drink too much. It would be bad if I get drunk before doing business!"

Kong Wen quickly asked, "What about me? What about me, Grandpa Bai, what about mine?"

Bai Potian looked at Kong Wen with a strange expression: "You should be from the Giant Spirit Clan, right?"

"correct."

"I really don't have much of a relationship with you." Bai Potian said directly: "After all, your family has been dominated by your wife for generations, so it's too early to get married."

Kong Wen's face suddenly turned pale: "No way?"

"Take it easy, little one," Bai Potian consoled him. "After all, although the giant spirit bloodline is immensely powerful, a larger body doesn't necessarily mean a larger brain. A wife is her husband's external brain. I remember you guys have a tradition of intermarriage, right? I think it's the Murong family..."

Kong Wen became even more panicked and immediately called his mother to ask about the situation.

Bai Potian did not go into the school, but chatted with Hua Li and Ruan Qingxue about Bai Yu.

More than half an hour passed quickly, and Bai Potian still felt a little reluctant to leave. When talking about his grandson, he always felt it was not enough, and he also regretted that he could not stay in Nanling City to accompany him to grow up.

"It's almost time, I should leave too." Bai Potian glanced at the bus at the intersection.

"Grandpa Bai, take care." Hua Li said politely.

"Did you just get back?" Ruan Qingxue asked, "Do you need me to contact Bai Yu..."

"No, he doesn't know I'm back yet. I'll keep it as a surprise." Bai Potian was also looking forward to meeting his grandson, and then asked, "Are you going to Penglai next?"

"Yes, I have to take the test."

"It shouldn't be difficult to pass with your strength." Bai Potian turned around and got on the bus.

"——Ding, Senior Citizen Card!"

He waved his hand and said, "See you when you get to Penglai."

After the vehicle leaves.

Hua Li breathed a sigh of relief and patted his chest: "Qingxue, do you feel that Mr. Bai gives people a very stable feeling, but also an inexplicable sense of oppression."

"Hmm..." Ruan Qingxue intuitively said, "I think Grandpa Bai should be a transcendent above the fifth level."

"real or fake!"

"Ruoli has the blood of an innate heroic spirit, and if Grandpa Bai is a fifth-level extraordinary being... then Bai Yu and Ruoli can be considered a perfect match. Don't you think so?" Ruan Qingxue analyzed with reason and evidence.

"I think Bai Yu is more like a child-rearing husband." Hua Li spread his hands, but still expressed his agreement: "But Grandpa Bai's realm is indeed very high. I didn't expect that there would be such a hidden dragon and crouching tiger in Nanling City."

"He's not in Nanling City... He's wearing a custom-made suit only available in the dead of winter, rarely seen in the heat of summer, yet he wears it so appropriately and authentically." Ruan Qingxue said confidently, "This proves he must have lived away from home for a long time, so even the wine flask he uses is a style not available in China."

"You observe very carefully."

"It's just so-so." Ruan Qingxue tucked her hair behind her ears. "I just felt that his sudden return must have something more serious in mind."

"After we go to Penglai and meet Bai Yu, let's keep this matter secret for now." Hua Li also made a quick decision: "It's not right for us to interfere in other people's family affairs."

"Yes, I agree." Ruan Qingxue nodded: "Oh, there is one more thing."

Her tone suddenly became resentful: "When Kong Wen comes back later, no matter whether he lifts his left foot or right foot, I will use this as an excuse to kick his ass!"

……

After getting off the bus, Bai Potian returned home.

The house originally belonged to him, then was left to his son and daughter-in-law, and finally to his grandson.

He usually lived across the street, but he was gone for ten years.

The key unlocked the door and he pushed it open.

The decoration is different from what it was back then, and has changed a bit.

He stood at the door, and seemed to see the scene of Bai Xinghe sitting on a chair and chatting with his pregnant wife.

You can also see a scene where a little boy is ridden on the sofa by a naughty little girl without any resistance.

He rubbed the corners of his eyes.

"I'm getting old..."

You will only truly grow old when your heart grows old.

Bai Potian walked into the kitchen, carrying the newly bought wine and food and started cooking.

His cooking skills have always been good, and his wife got to know him because of his delicious cooking.

The range hood was turning on, and the smell of cooking lingered in the kitchen.

In less than half an hour, the door was opened again.
