Age of Heroes, 10-game winning streak

He didn't believe that he could figure it out on his own.

It turns out that one percent of inspiration is far more important than ninety-nine percent of perspiration.

...There are so many guaranteed gifts.

...Sure enough, after the risk comes the reward.

Bai Yu recited slowly, "In the White Jade Palace of Heaven, with its twelve towers and five cities, the immortals stroked my head, and I was granted eternal life..."

The old man clasped his fingers together and couldn't help laughing: "As expected... you can see it, and you understand it!"

"Just by looking at the calligraphy, I have realized a completely new magical power that I have never seen before."

"In the whole world, I have only met three people whose comprehension is superior to yours. You are the fourth one!"

Faced with this compliment, Bai Yu smiled faintly.

This is not achieved through understanding, but through superpowers.

He then asked, "Old gentleman, are you still not going to reveal your identity?"

The burly old man fell silent again. He looked a little hurt and asked, "You really don't recognize me?"

Baiyu was silent.

The old man was in no hurry to reveal his identity, but instead changed the subject and said, "You should also know that the girl surnamed Tao is a direct descendant of the Ten Evil Tyrants."

Bai Yu nodded: "I know, but so what? Bloodline is not important."

The old man laughed and said, "Children all think so, but the older you get, the more you understand a simple truth: bloodline is perhaps one of the most important things in the world. Birth and status determine many things. Just like the emperors in history, why was it that when the First Emperor Ying Zheng unified the world, no one dared to disrespect him? Yet, after Liu Bang conquered the world, he signed the so-called White Horse Alliance before his death?"

Bai Yu said, "Because Ying Zheng inherited the legacy of six generations of his ancestors, he was born to be king. He conquered seven kingdoms and established himself as an emperor. Liu Bang conquered the world with his sword, but this also meant that he did not have the legitimacy to inherit the throne. He conquered the world, and others could also conquer it. Therefore, the White Horse Alliance was needed because the country was unstable."

"You know, history is a mirror that reveals the rise and fall of nations... While the theory of bloodline isn't accurate, it can prevent many problems, but it can also create them." The old man continued, "That girl from the Tao family is not only the daughter of the Ten Evils, but also a direct descendant of the Dragon Emperor's bloodline. This is why the Dragon Country must have her."

Bai Yu frowned, with a look of solemnity in his eyes: "They also want to take Tao Rusu back to the Dragon Country to abolish the bloodline?"

The burly old man fell silent.

Tao Rusu, who was listening in, frowned: "Really?"

"It's not what you think." The old man explained: "The direct bloodline is noble, how can it be abolished at will? Her troubles come from this, and her good luck also comes from this. What I want to say is..."

"Don't be too hostile to the dragon clan." Bai Yu understood immediately: "If they are willing to be human beings, there is no need for me to fight them to the end."

"If you understand this principle, you should know when to retreat," the burly old man said. "I've heard people speculate that this was all your plan, and that everything that happened in the martial arts arena was within your expectations. You knew that Jiaoyang Leader would come to see you, and that you calculated the time for Dragon Sword Spring to appear in advance. What do you think of this?"

Bai Yu said calmly: "There is no such thing as coincidence in this world, only necessity."

The old man raised his eyebrows: "Is this really your plan?"

Bai Yu shook his head and laughed: "Let them believe that this boy is really so calculating and scheming. I don't lose anything."

"Taking advantage of the situation is a good idea," the old man agreed. "But you really didn't predict Huang Qixia's arrival. If that's the case, you should have chosen to retreat. A good result doesn't necessarily mean a good process. With your strength, even with that little girl from the Mu family, Long Jianquan wouldn't need more than a few moves to defeat you."

Bai Yu said calmly, "It doesn't take many moves. One move might be enough to finish him. He'll have to kneel down immediately..."

"Please don't let us die."

Mu Yaoxi snorted, then said with a straight face, "This is not funny at all."

"It's not that I can't understand your deep feelings, but as a person, one must always weigh the pros and cons and know how to adapt to changing circumstances." The burly old man didn't sound pedantic, but instead advised, "You clashed with Long Jianquan back then. Not only did you not gain any benefits, but you also couldn't protect that girl from the Tao family."

He gave earnest advice: "In life, one must learn to make choices. When faced with a situation beyond one's ability, even a slight retreat is a form of tact. If one chooses to confront everything head-on, the result will be nothing but self-destruction... There are many things worth cherishing in this world, but nothing is more important than your own life. You must learn to cherish it!"

The old man kept on nagging, leaving Bai Yu a little confused.

On the one hand, Bai Yu didn't think he was risking his life at the time, he had plenty of ways to save his life.

On the other hand, he didn't quite understand why the old man said that, and a hint of confusion appeared in his eyes.

Seeing his expression, Bai Potian couldn't help but say, "You little brat, aren't you usually so smart? How come you can't understand what I'm saying now? I've said so many words and you still can't figure it out?"

Bai Yu was even more confused.

Bai Potian was anxious and helpless. He looked at the stubborn boy and hesitated to speak. He felt that introducing his name would damage the dignity of an elder. Besides... after not seeing him for ten years, how could he not want his grandson to recognize him at first sight? The strangeness in his eyes made him very sad, and his tone was mostly helpless.

"I was afraid you wouldn't recognize it, so I wrote it specifically for you to see."

Even though we haven't seen each other for ten years, the letters I write to him every month are all handwritten by him. Even if I can't recognize the person, I can at least recognize the handwriting, right?

Bai Yu was at a loss for words: "It's hard for me to even recognize what you're writing, how can I even make out the individual strokes of each character?"

Are you overestimating my level?

Bai Potian suddenly became furious and asked, "That girl Su Ruoli must have known about this. She's just like her mother, she's very cunning. Didn't she tell you that I was coming to see you in person?"

Bai Yu shook his head expressionlessly: "No."

The burly old man was furious: "This Su family really treats my grandson like a treasure, hiding him away without even a letter. I should have taken him away from Daxia with me!"

After a few seconds of rage, the old man fell silent.

At this point, identity is self-evident.

No matter how slow Bai Yu was, he should have realized it. In fact, he had guessed it a long time ago, but adults have some unspeakable grudges in their hearts, and it is still difficult for them to say it out naturally.

"Yujing, meet Grandfather." He called out, "It's been ten years. I'm sorry I didn't recognize you."

Bai Potian left no photos at home, and most of his memories before the age of ten are vague.

The old man took a few steps closer, and said with a guilty look in his eyes, "Calling me grandpa is too strange, but it's inevitable that you won't be used to it. You'll get used to it slowly."

Ten years is too long.

The old man also understood this truth. He patted the boy on the shoulder and said, "It's been ten years. You have grown up so much."

Bai Yu said, "I didn't know you would come back."

"You're almost an adult, so it's natural for me to return. This time I'm back to feast my eyes." Bai Potian's tone was filled with pride, a kind of arrogance and heroism that came from the striving of his descendants. "My grandson is capable, and it's a source of pride for me. With your achievements, you're a flawless gem no matter where you are, a gem so brilliant that no one dares to look directly at you!"

"The Beiming family secretly destroyed your bloodline, but so what! You are still a man who stands tall and proud!"

"They are the ones who should regret it!"

"I now feel nothing but immense joy. All the regret, resentment, and anger I felt back then have now transformed into a burst of heroic spirit. I really can't wait to go to the imperial capital and let it all out!"

When one reaches Bai Potian's realm, there is actually not much that can be pursued. Apart from his own realm, it is the growth and inheritance of the family, and seeing the extraordinary talents of his descendants.

He pulled out a bottle of wine from behind a tree and said, "Today, we, the grandfather and grandson, meet again after ten years of separation. Grandpa won't go home until he's drunk tonight."

Bai Yu said, "Then I have to make a few more dishes to go with the wine."

As soon as he finished speaking, the floor-to-ceiling window was pushed open, and Su Ruoli came in at the perfect moment, setting down the table, a table full of delicious dishes, and two glasses.

Tao Rusu and Mu Yaoxi were stunned.

It turned out that Su Ruoli had known who the other party was for a long time. Before she showed up, she was hiding in the kitchen and busying herself, waiting for the right time to enter.

Tao Rusu clenched his fists. Is this the gap... Is this the tactical gap?

For the time being, in Bai Potian's eyes, Tao Rusu is now equated with trouble, while Su Ruoli is equated with a good wife.

Miss Ruoli bowed politely and decided not to stay in the courtyard to avoid upsetting the old man.

"Grandpa Bai, please enjoy your meal."

He immediately got up and left.

"Hmph! Girl from the Su family, why are you in such a hurry? Do you think I will eat you alive?" Bai Potian shouted.

Su Ruoli stood obediently, waiting for the old man's instructions.

Bai Potian looked at Su Ruoli. Ten years had passed, and this girl had grown into a graceful young lady. She was completely different from the crazy girl she was when she was little... Instead, she had the temperament of a lady from a noble family, and was very pleasing to the eye.

The old man said, "Although your family has done things dishonestly and is still hiding things from Yujing, I'm not going to argue with a junior like you... Please sit down and pour wine for us, grandfather and grandson."

After being called, Su Ruoli responded obediently and sat down at the table.

The moonlight reflected the wine.

Bai Yu raised his glass and drank together.

The old man took a sip, not drinking it in a big way, but savoring it slowly.

It’s not about how great the wine is, but about savoring the atmosphere at that moment.

The old man shook the wine glass and felt a little tipsy after taking a sip.

Good wine, good moon, good time.

...This is finally home.

Chapter 336: Pick a Wife

This late dinner would probably take several hours.

Bai Yu had this premonition.

When he realized that his grandfather had rushed back from abroad, he frowned and melted...

Realized that things are not simple.

He is not a fool either.

The three members of the Su family are hiding something from me. There must be something crucial and important, otherwise even Su Ruoli would not be the riddler.

After thinking about it, he felt that it had nothing to do with his mother or the Bei Ming family.

The only thing I could think of was that the old man would take me back to his hometown to get married.

go back home.

Not Bactria, but Rome.

Rome!

It takes a month to cross the Death Tide on a ghost ship.

It's almost another world.

Of course, if I have the chance in the future, I will definitely go to Yingzhou and Rome to try to see if I can meet them, but not now.

If you go there, you'll be forced to get married, and what young person wants to be forced to get married by their elders? Everyone prefers to play it safe or have a free love relationship.

And when talking to elders, it is inevitable to feel a little restrained.

Even though she knew that the other party doted on her, Bai Yu was no longer at the age where she could become spoiled.

In his previous life, he had lived cautiously since childhood because of his superpowers. It can be said that he was very sensible since childhood and did not understand what it meant to be arrogant because of being spoiled. Instead, he was very good at guessing other people's psychology. Naturally, there was no way he could go back in this life.

If an elderly person has many children and grandchildren, he or she will definitely favor one of the little ones in particular. It all depends on personal liking.

But no matter which old person they are, they definitely like obedient and sensible younger generations.

Bai Yu didn't want to say that he was being reserved and flattering, but it was true that he felt uncomfortable.

Especially when Bai Potian directly admitted that he was the Saint of Calligraphy, the air became a little stagnant.

This is the value of the Ten Evils, and it seems that there is more than that.

"The fifth level of transcendence is just a conceptual definition."

"Once you truly reach this realm, you won't casually use terms like 'fifth level' or 'sixth level' to judge."

After taking a few sips, the old man gave Bai Yu some basic knowledge about the knowledge above the fifth level.

"Think about it, Daxia produces a Martial Saint every ten years, but why are there only so many people whose names are engraved on the Martial Saint Monument?"

"The fifth level is Martial Saint, so what is above Martial Saint?"

"After reaching the fifth level, realm is no longer the most important thing. Strength is no longer determined by the so-called rank, but by the holy way..."

"The holy way is not achieved overnight; it needs to be built up slowly."

"Why is the Innate Heroic Spirit the strongest bloodline? It's because the Heroic Spirit's holy path has already been completed, and there's no need to accumulate it again in this lifetime."

"The specific process of building it will be difficult for you who don't have the Holy Path to understand. Once you reach the fifth level, you will naturally understand. It's too early to explain it now."

Having said that, Bai Yu also realized that the question he asked, "What level is my grandfather?", was a bit ridiculous. It was like asking the boss of a Fortune 500 company, "How much is your annual salary?" The latter has no interest in money, so how could there be such a thing as an annual salary?

After clinking glasses again, Bai Yu showed no signs of being drunk. The Phoenix's internal energy began to purify the body, strengthening his kidney function.

He suddenly remembered something and asked, "You returned to China. Didn't you get into trouble?"

"The Ten Evils are well-known, but they don't have as many restrictions as you think." Bai Potian shook his head: "Besides, I don't want to stay in Daxia for long."
