Qiu Yan'er listened blankly to my conversation with Qiu Man, unable to understand no matter how hard she tried...
"Since you know I did nothing wrong, you shouldn't retaliate against me this way..."
Qiu Man said with an extremely serious expression.
"You've misunderstood me. My meeting with Qiu Yan'er was purely coincidental. You can ask her if you don't believe me..."
Besides, I was the one who saved her life. I didn't know about your relationship when I saved her, so it's perfectly normal for a man and woman to have feelings for each other. We can't deny our true feelings just because we met you once, can we?
Hearing my explanation, Qiu Yan'er, who still didn't understand what was going on, agreed.
"Yes, we are truly in love..."
Qiu Man's face showed an expression even uglier than eating shit. They've only met for less than two days, and they're already talking about true love? You're kidding me.
She'd swear to God, you two are just lusting after each other's bodies...
"Qiu Man, stop fooling around..."
"Auntie, I wasn't being silly..."
Qiu Man didn't know what to say, so I changed the subject and asked...
"Qiuman, where are we? And why are we here?"
Upon hearing my question, Qiu Yan'er also looked at Qiu Man curiously, wanting to know the answer...
Qiu Man touched her nose somewhat guiltily, then explained...
"This is a secluded corner of my territory, a hidden hideout exclusively for me. It's usually deserted and completely isolated from all power fluctuations..."
Hearing Qiu Man's words, a sudden inspiration struck me, and I looked at her and continued...
"The teleportation talisman in Qiu Yan'er's hand isn't without direction; it's just that you didn't tell Qiu Yan'er its true function, so you left her a trump card to save her life..."
Qiu Yan'er accidentally used the teleportation talisman without knowing its purpose, ensuring that this life-saving method wouldn't be revealed beforehand and allowing her to escape at the last minute...
You've already prepared a backup plan; this place, isolated from all power fluctuations, was prepared for this very moment…
"Now that Qiu Yan'er and I have been teleported here, it means we are temporarily safe. As expected of a Lord-level expert, truly impressive skills..."
My praise made Qiu Yan'er understand, but the next moment she looked at Qiu Man angrily and said...
"Auntie, you've gone too far! Since this teleportation talisman had an ultimate purpose, why didn't you tell me beforehand? You almost got me..."
She couldn't continue. Thinking of the humiliation the goblins had inflicted on her, she was filled with rage. If she had known the teleportation talisman was safe, she wouldn't have allowed the goblins to humiliate her…
"Yan'er, it's not that your aunt doesn't want to tell you, but this teleportation talisman is only a last resort for survival. With your strength, you simply cannot withstand the soul attack of a powerful expert. It's easy for your true thoughts to be discovered without your knowledge. Only when you yourself are unaware is it truly safe..."
Hearing Qiu Man's explanation, I nodded in agreement and echoed her words.
“Your aunt is right. When someone is in a life-or-death situation, they will fight to the death even if there is only the slightest chance. Moreover, a teleportation talisman is a true life-saving trump card. If you don't even know the destination, the enemy will have no way to track you down…”
Hearing my explanation, Qiu Yan'er's expression softened, but she was still a little angry and didn't want to talk to her aunt. After all, Qiu Man had made her call me grandpa...
"Yan'er, stop fooling around. Do you even know who he is? There's no future for you two. Don't be so stubborn. Your aunt is only doing this for your own good..."
Seeing that Qiu Yan'er was still throwing a tantrum, Qiu Man began her earnest and persuasive persuasion...
But Qiu Yan'er had no intention of listening to her, and turned her head away, coldly snorting as she spoke.
"My aunt is a bad person. I'll make my own decisions about love, and I don't want your interference..."
Qiu Man rubbed her forehead. This kind of love-struck younger generation was really a headache; she just couldn't reason with them...
"Yan'er, your aunt has been through this before. Why are you so disobedient? You two will never be happy together..."
Qiu Man was exhausted, but she had no choice but to try to stop her niece from being with me, because she really couldn't accept this relationship...
"Auntie, you're my elder, you should be blessing me, why are you stopping me from pursuing my own happiness? Tell me, why can't I be with Brother Wudi?"
Hearing Qiu Yan'er's words, Qiu Man felt as if a knife had stabbed her in the chest; the pain was unbearable...
And what can I say about this? The pregnancy is something that absolutely cannot be revealed. Asking Qiu Yan'er to call me "Grandpa" so suddenly is something she definitely won't accept…
She could only look at me in the end, gritting her teeth as she spoke.
"Yan'er is my family, don't force me to reveal your identity..."
I shrugged and said nonchalantly.
"Go ahead and expose yourself. I've already arrived in the Realm of the Void Gods; my life and death are no longer under my control. But it's different for you. If this place is exposed, your seclusion plan will also be exposed. I'm sure you don't have another seclusion location like this..."
Hearing my words, Qiu Man gritted her teeth and looked at me, saying...
"You're shameless..."
"If it weren't for you, would I have been able to come to the Realm of the Void Gods? How dare you call me shameless? I'm your..."
I stopped abruptly at this point, almost revealing Qiu Man's secret, but thankfully I reacted in time...
But Qiu Yan'er didn't think so. Even if she were stupid, she could tell that Qiu Man and I were keeping a secret from her...
"How...how could you do this?"
Qiu Yan'er said, her voice trembling with tears. Hearing her words, Qiu Man and I were completely bewildered, not understanding what was wrong with us...
"Auntie, you're trying so hard to stop me from being with Brother Wudi, you wouldn't have fallen for him too, would you?"
Qiu Man's lips twitched, thinking to herself, "What the hell is this all about..."
I felt somewhat helpless. I thought to myself, Qiu Man is already pregnant, there's no way I could possibly steal her away. Even if I were a monster, I couldn't do something so immoral...
"Qiu Yan'er, don't misunderstand. My relationship with your aunt isn't very close. It's just that according to the relationship with that old friend, your aunt should call me uncle, which would make me your grandfather's generation. So, she can't accept that you call me brother right now..."
I quickly explained, which immediately relieved Qiu Man, who was genuinely afraid I would say something shocking...
However, according to seniority, I am her father-in-law, so calling me "uncle" before we got married wouldn't be a problem...
But these words struck Qiu Yan'er like a bolt from the blue; she simply couldn't accept them…
I quickly said to comfort her.
"When we met, we never anticipated this situation, so I think it's better for us to stick to our own paths..."
