It was at this time that Mingxiang also wanted to introduce Lu Zheng to her grandfather.

Grandpa was very different from her parents.

This old man was also the only person who supported Mingxiang after she dropped out of school.

However, this old man lived a very quiet and refined life.

Although he possesses the power of the Great Dao, capable of changing many things with a single word or action, he simply prefers a small vegetable garden and a patch of hills.

At the western end of the city, there is a small hill with a pine forest on it. Around the pine forest, there is a wheat field and a vegetable field.

Every morning after the rooster crows, you can see an old man wearing a big straw hat and a T-shirt, busy inside.

Yet, no one dared to bother them.

This old man is Mingxiang's grandfather.

He possessed exceptional intelligence, but his personality was rather eccentric.

After all, people are social creatures, but this old man prefers to live alone.

If those things hadn't happened yesterday, Mingxiang had actually planned to take Lu Zheng to meet her grandfather.

As a result, things were delayed because of what happened yesterday.

This made Mingxiang's desire to take Lu Zheng with her even stronger.

So she blinked her bright eyes, tugged at Lu Zheng's hand and said, "Lu Zheng, shall I take you to see Grandpa? Grandpa must miss me too, hehehe, you two will definitely get along well."

My grandfather was a man of great wisdom and a legendary figure.

When my grandfather was young, he went to the battlefield and commanded battles.

Based on his military achievements at the time, if he wanted a position now, it would be extremely prestigious.

However, the old man did not want it, but his status remained unchanged.

Otherwise, who would dare to farm on that small hill?

The only person the old clan chief of Mingjia Village dared not confront head-on was this old man.

Lu Zheng coughed and said, "Well, we need to go buy something. We can't go empty-handed!"

Lu Zheng could see the respect Ming Xiang had for her grandfather in her eyes, so he decided to approach her with the same reverence.

Mingxiang chuckled: "No need, no need. Grandpa is a simple man. Here, just go to the supermarket and buy two catties of pig's head meat and a bottle of strong liquor."

A man of his stature wouldn't be interested in fancy wines or whiskeys. He'd be perfectly content with a bottle of unassuming old liquor, a pig's head, and a plate of peanuts.

I could chat with them for a whole day.

Afterwards, Lu Zheng was dragged by Ming Xiang to buy wine and meat, and then they drove straight to his grandfather's place.

On the way, Mingxiang cheerfully told Lu Zheng about her grandfather's legendary life when he was young.

You know, going to the battlefield, especially for those at the forefront, inevitably involves getting injured. But this old man is amazing. He went to the battlefield dozens of times, and every time he charged into battle, bullets flew past his ears several times, but he was always unharmed.

This makes the old man a legend.

However, because the journey was quite long, it was already past four o'clock in the afternoon when Lu Zheng and the others arrived.

Although it wasn't quite dusk yet, the sun was already setting slightly in the west, casting its light on the hillside, creating a unique and beautiful scene.

From a distance, Lu Zheng could see a small house on the hillside.

Beside it were golden wheat fields, and wisps of smoke rose from the small house.

The tranquil feeling instantly makes one feel as if they are inside a painting.

Just as Mingxiang was about to say something, her brows suddenly furrowed, and the smile on her face became somewhat stiff.

Lu Zheng was watching her from the side. When he noticed the change in Ming Xiang's expression, he looked puzzled and asked, "Ming Xiang, what's wrong?"

Mingxiang pointed to a Mercedes-Benz on the hillside and said, "Do you see that car?"

Lu Zheng nodded: "Mm."

Mingxiang said, "That car belongs to the old clan chief."

Ever since Mingxiang dropped out of school, the old clan chief had been interfering in their family affairs, and it was around that time that her parents' attitude towards Mingxiang became unpredictable.

That old clan chief is a real scoundrel.

They can't even manage their own family affairs, yet they keep harping on other people's families.

Now you're bothering Grandpa again?

There's only one reason why the old clan chief came here: he's here for her and Lu Zheng.

That's why Mingxiang felt very uncomfortable.

However, Lu Zheng's expression remained calm at this moment.

He gently grasped Mingxiang's hand and said, "Grandpa is a great man, so naturally he won't let the old clan chief sway his mind, right?"

Mingxiang was stunned.

She stared at Lu Zheng in surprise, looking him over and over again.

But after a moment, she nodded very seriously: "Yes, that's right."

Lu Zheng is right.

However, to be honest, Lu Zheng and his grandfather really do have similar personalities.

This composure is something not everyone possesses.

Lu Zheng chuckled and said, "Let's go, let's get off the bus."

Ming Xiang nodded, and then got out of the car with Lu Zheng.

Soon after, Lu Zheng and his group arrived at the door of the cabin.

Just then, the old clan chief was heard talking to Old Master Ming: "Haha, old brother, time really flies. In the blink of an eye, we've all grown old. It's been so many years since we last had a drink."

The old clan chief was known for his incredibly arrogant speech.

But now he's playing the emotional card, which shows that he's actually somewhat afraid of Mingxiang's grandfather.

However, upon hearing his words, Lu Zheng and Ming Xiang knew that the old clan chief had probably just arrived as well.

Compared to the old patriarch's emotional appeal, Old Master Ming was much more direct, saying, "Hehe, old patriarch, you don't come here unless you have something to say, so don't beat around the bush. I know I'm a straightforward person and don't like beating around the bush."

The old clan chief and his two sons couldn't help but twitch at the corners of their mouths.

That's a bit too direct.

"This...hehe, fine, fine!"

After a soft breath, the old clan chief said, "Since we've come this far, I'll be frank. To be honest, I'm here for your granddaughter."

"As you know, our Mingjia Village is a clan-based village, and the most important thing about a clan village is the continuation and inheritance of the clan..."

Mingxiang and Lu Zheng listened outside, and then Lu Zheng gave a cold laugh.

Have they passed down these things through their clan now?

When Mingxiang was driven out of Mingjia Village, why didn't the old clan chief think of this?

It all boils down to selfishness, doesn't it?

Lu Zheng wasn't going to put up with this old man.

It's fair to say that Lu Zheng is capable, but it doesn't explain Xiang.

So while the old man was speaking, Lu Zheng reached out and knocked on the door a few times.

The knock on the door instantly interrupted the old patriarch's next words.

The old patriarch frowned and looked at Old Master Ming: "Third Brother, someone's here?"

Grandpa Ming smiled and said, "Hehe, of course I know. But it's none other than my dear granddaughter. Oh dear, it's been so long since I've seen her. You all sit down, I'll go open the door."
