Chapter 4 The Great General's Short Temper (2)

  "Grandfather, this is not their fault, it's my awakening, you two go out first." Leng Ruoxue said coquettishly, pulling on one of Leng Qingtian's arms.

  Xuě er.

  "Grandfather, I've awakened to my spiritual power and have become a great spiritual master. Aren't you happy, grandfather?" asked Leng Ruoxue in a soft and gentle voice, with a hint of pride.

  "Silly girl, of course Grandpa is happy, but what if Grandpa isn't by your side and you encounter some danger? By the time Grandpa tries to rescue you, it'll be too late. Do you want Grandpa to worry to death?" At this thought, Leng Qingtian's face turned stern again.

  "Grandfather, my good grandfather, this is what you call being overly concerned. I already know that awakening doesn't pose a risk to one's life, how could the Spirit Emperor not know this?!" Cold Snow lightly laughed and said. Awakening was indeed not without risks, but failure would still cause some harm to the body. Green Peach had told her about this before she decided to awaken, and it was also mentioned in the books, so she knew about it. However, she still decided to go through with the awakening, after all, only by becoming stronger could one's fate be grasped in their own hands.

  "You little girl..." Leng Qing Tian deliberately put on a stern face, but it was clear that he wasn't as angry anymore.

  "Come on, tell Grandpa what's going on. How did you become a great spiritual master?" Leng Qingtian also knew that he was being a bit too tense.

  "Yesterday's awakening," said Leng Ruoxue.

  "Has he become a great master today?" Leng Qingtian's face was full of question marks, what speed is this!

  "Uh, after waking up yesterday, I started absorbing spiritual energy, and today I woke up to become a Great Spiritual Master." Leng Ruoxue didn't expect this body's innate potential to be so astonishing. According to her knowledge, even for the most talented individuals with excellent innate abilities, it would take around one and a half to two years to advance from a basic Spirit Cultivator to a Spirit Master after successfully awakening their spiritual energy. To become a Great Spiritual Master, it would take around five to six years. Those with poorer innate abilities would need even more time. For example, Lv Tao and the others, who had above-average innate abilities, took about eight years to reach the level of Great Spiritual Master.

  "Unexpectedly, my cold and stern grandson is actually a genius-level prodigy, haha, great, it's really too good! Cold Tian's usually stern face was full of proud expression, recently this good news has been coming one after another, it's really too exciting!"

  "Xu'er, what attribute is your spiritual power?" The Cold family members are basically all wind or fire attribute spiritual powers. Like him, he has both wind and fire attributes, so when it comes to attacking, same-level spiritual masters are generally not his match. Otherwise, he wouldn't be known as the number one strongest in the Spiritual Realm.

  "I'm not too sure either!"

  "It's okay, Grandfather has a testing crystal, and when he has time, he'll test you." Unless the other person uses spiritual techniques, it's very hard to tell what someone's attributes are. He thought that Xue Er had just woken up and didn't understand many things, so not knowing her own attributes was normal. In fact, newly awakened spiritual masters can go to the Spiritual Master Association to test their attributes and learn suitable spiritual techniques. Generally, large families also have testing crystals prepared for this purpose, which is convenient for testing younger generations in the family.

  "My little Snow is now awake, and has become a spiritual master, and is also a stunning beauty who can topple cities with her charm. I think this time, the Seventh Prince Li Yu will have no reason not to marry you." Leng Qingtian's face was filled with affection as he gently stroked Leng Ruoxue's head, and the topic turned to her marriage. In fact, he had already thought it through on the way here. Although he didn't like the Seventh Prince at all, and didn't want to form an alliance with the royal family, but since Snow liked the Seventh Prince so much, then whether the Seventh Prince was willing or not, he would have to marry her. This matter was not up to him, did he think he could back out of the engagement? That was simply a fool's dream.

  "Grandfather, I don't want to marry the Seventh Prince at all." Leng Ruoxue pouted her pink cherry lips and gazed at her grandfather with sparkling eyes.

  "Hmm... isn't Xue'er fond of the Seventh Prince? Why doesn't she want to marry him?" It's better if she doesn't want to marry, the royal family has many troubles, but he still needs to ask clearly.

  "Hmph! When I was still a fool, he despised me and even humiliated me. Now that I've woken up and understood things clearly, I don't want him anymore."

  "No, don't want him anymore. Although he is a prince, he doesn't deserve our Xue Er at all. Tomorrow, Grandfather will go to the palace to cancel the engagement for Xue Er." General Leng extremely doted on his children, even if they had many flaws, they were still his good kids. He could tolerate it, but others couldn't bully them, no way!

  "Grandpa, marriage is definitely something to be avoided, but Snow's injury this time can't be in vain either!" Cold Ruo Xue reminded with a mischievous smile like a little fox.

  "Don't worry, Grandpa knows what to do. Grandpa won't let Xue'er suffer unjustly." Leng Qingtian would not let anyone who harmed his precious granddaughter go unpunished.

  Xue Er knows Grandpa loves her the most.

  "Grandpa, wait for me!" Leng Ruoxue thought for a moment, then ran out.

  Before long, Leng Ruoxue returned with a large white porcelain bowl in her hand.

  "Xue Er, what's in your hand?"

  "Grandpa, try some quickly!" Leng Ruoxue placed the bowl in front of Leng Qingtian, looking at him with a face full of expectation.

  "Noodles?"

  "Ah, it's Snow's handmade dish, Grandpa, have a taste!" Leng Ruo Xue was extremely confident in her cooking skills. In her past life, she was not only a foodie but also had excellent culinary skills, definitely on par with those famous chefs.

  "Okay, okay, Grandpa try some." Leng Qingtian picked up a few strands with his chopsticks and put them in his mouth. He was stunned for a moment, then devoured several big mouthfuls, and the bowl of noodles was almost empty.

  "Grandfather, how is it? Is it delicious?" Leng Ruoxue was somewhat uncertain, as the seasonings in this world were really too few, and the ingredients were also slightly different, unable to bring out the flavor of her previous life.

  "Delicious, delicious." Leng Qing Tian finished the soup in his bowl, and originally he was thinking that even if it didn't taste good, he would still say it's delicious. After all, this was Xue Er's filial piety.

  "When did Xue'er learn how to make noodles?" Leng Qing was shocked, and he still had some lingering thoughts, as he had never eaten such delicious noodles before!

  "I saw the chef at our place do it before, and I tried making it myself these past few days. Xue'er remembered that yesterday was Grandpa's birthday, so she wanted to make it for him to eat." Leng Ruo Xue had already thought of an excuse earlier, and she really did try making it herself these past few days, otherwise it would be hard to explain. Mainly because she was moved by this grandfather's unconditional love and affection towards her, a familial bond that she couldn't get in her previous life but experienced in this one, so she cherished it even more.

  "Xue Er is really filial, Grandpa didn't spoil you for nothing!" Leng Jing Tian was relieved and pleased, thinking that his own child was indeed good.
