Brother Xu, you're really something, aren't you? The prince who had been in the undersea city for so long said that he was going to be killed by you, and now your reputation in the martial arts world is not inferior to ours old men! Jiang Hongtu said to Xu Taiping with a smile.

At this time, Jiang Hongtu's attitude towards Xu Taiping was completely different from the attitude he had towards him last time. After all, last time Xu Taiping was just the boss of the Taiya Group, and could be considered to be the elder brother of the famous martial arts world. Now, Xu Taiping was the blue flag bearer, and his status was completely different from last time's.

"I don't know how the prince died, I was just lucky enough to be taken care of by the seniors!" Xu Taiping said humbly.

"Hahaha, you are really cautious. No wonder you can walk this far!" Jiang Hongtu laughed.

"Boss Jiang, tonight, we'll only eat and drink. Let's not talk about these things, let's talk too much about making a mess of ourselves!" Xu Taiping said as he picked up his wine cup.

"Fine, I'll listen to you. Let's not talk about these things. Come, drink up!" Jiang Hongtu also picked up his wine cup and the two drained it in one gulp.

After dinner, the two chatted briefly for a few days before returning to their respective rooms.

Jiang Hongtu's room was much better than Xu Taiping's, a presidential suite.

Xu Taiping wasn't jealous, because he knew he had to keep a low profile.

So Thursday passed.

Therefore, in the morning, Xu Taiping got up very early, went out to buy two cigarettes, and two bottles of good wine before taking a taxi in the direction of the old man's residence.

Half an hour later, the taxi that brought Xu Taiping stopped in front of the old man's house.

Xu Taiping paid the driver, then got out of the car and walked to the door. Just as he was about to knock, Xu Taiping hesitated.

How on earth should I call him?

Xu Taiping felt very conflicted. Call him Old Ancestor? That wouldn't do. Although they were indeed the Old Ancestor, they had played together before, and calling him Old Ancestor would always feel like they were at a disadvantage.

Call me old bro? That was even worse. If Xu Taiping and the Old Master Zhao were brothers, why would the Old Master and the Old Master call him Xu Taiping? This generation was in total chaos.

Or an old man? Before, there weren't any problems, but if he were to call them that now, it would be a bit disrespectful to his elders!

Xu Taiping was very conflicted. But at this moment, the door in front of Xu Taiping was pushed open from the inside.

An old man with a birdcage in his hand was about to walk out when he saw Xu Taiping standing outside the door.

"Kid, why are you here?!" The old man looked at Xu Taiping in shock.

"Didn't you come to the capital recently? That's why I came to visit you …" "You …" Xu Taiping said.

"I was planning to go out for a walk, but you really came at the right time. Come, let's go out and walk around our eighth brother. He's really pleasing!" The old man said with a smile.

"What's the name of this eighth brother of yours?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Call me Dogman." The old man said.

"Dogman... "Good name." Xu Taiping quickly praised.

"What's that in your hand?" The old man looked at Xu Taiping's hand and asked.

"Isn't it just a little after the new year? I didn't come to visit you during the new year, so I came over to wish you a happy new year, and I also wish you a happy new year." Xu Taiping quickly said.

"It's so late in the year, you're going to be here even in the summer." As the old man spoke, he pointed towards the door and said, "Put everything in there. Come with me!"

"Alright!" Xu Taiping nodded. He quickly put the things in his hands into the yard and followed the old man out.

The old man was holding a birdcage in one hand and whistling in the other. He was shaking the cage as he walked. It was obvious that he was in a good mood.

Xu Taiping didn't know what to say.

At that moment, the eighth brother in the old man's cage suddenly exclaimed.

This voice was full of vigor, full of ups and downs. Anyone who heard it would blush red to their ears.

"Shut up!" The old man quickly shouted at Dogman in the cage.

That dog seemed to understand human nature, so he decisively shut his mouth.

"This eighth brother of yours is really good at learning the language." Xu Taiping said with a smile.

"He's just blindly studying. I live next door to a newlyweds, so they must have learned it from them." The old man said.

"That's right, that's right!" Xu Taiping nodded.

The two of them continued walking, and soon, they arrived at a nearby park.

The old man hung the birdcage on a branch and began to move around the tree trunk.

Although they were all old arms and old legs, the old man's muscles and bones were still quite good. Even a few stretching motions could not be done by a young man, but the old man was still able to do it very easily.

Xu Taiping stood to the side, looking at the old man and the eighth brother in the birdcage.

At this moment, eighth brother called out again.

"Ah, old grandpa, you're so fierce!"

"Old grandpa, I still need more. You're too amazing."

When the surrounding people heard this voice, they all looked towards the old man.

The old man's face was dark as he looked at Eighth Brother in the birdcage and said, "Say it again, I'll stew you tonight."

Eighth brother shut his mouth again.

"This really is a godly bird." Xu Taiping couldn't help but praise.

"When I grew up, I learned too many things and learned too many things." The old man said.

"He's the same as my family's Erzi. My Erzi also understands human nature. He's a dog." Xu Taiping said.

The old man did not answer, but continued stretching.

After the stretching was over, the old man performed a set of simple and unadorned Taiji Fist in front of Xu Taiping.

One could not tell what was so impressive about Taiji Fist. It was similar to the Taiji Fist practiced by most ordinary people.

Xu Taiping sat to one side, trying to think of a way to talk to the old man about going back to the Zhao Family. The old man suddenly said, "If you're trying to persuade me to go home, then forget it."

Xu Taiping froze for a second, then forced a smile, "I heard that everyone wants you to go back."

The old man walked over to Xu Taiping, lifted his clothes and wiped the sweat off his forehead.

Although it was a very ordinary set of Taiji Fist, it seemed to have consumed a lot of the old man's physical strength.

Due to his old age, the old man's skin had already loosened up. There seemed to be a lot of age spots on his skin.

Xu Taiping didn't specifically understand the man in front of him, but just based on the influence the Zhao Family had in this world, this man must have been a formidable figure in the past. And now, such a figure had turned into an old man covered in age spots, his skin was relaxed, and he was sweating profusely after practicing Taiji Fist.

No matter how powerful you were back then, when you were old, you were just a little old man sneaking around with birds and drinking medlar water.

"I don't want to go back." The old man shook his head, looked towards the sky and said, "If I go back, I will eventually think of something. It's better not to think about it."

Xu Taiping was silent. He was only thirty-one years old, so it was hard for him to feel the same way about the old man's current state of mind.

However, he still felt a sense of loneliness from the old man.

Imagine, someday in the future, when he was old, Xia Jinxuan, Song Jia, Su Nian Ci, Guan He … These people had passed away one after another. If he was still alive, then he would be very lonely. Not to mention that his own child might even be walking in front of him.

Thinking about this, Xu Taiping seemed to understand the old man's feelings.

"Life and death are a natural law, but how many people can actually see through it?" The old man sighed.

"It's actually very good for you. I feel that no matter how many people around you have left, at the very least, you still remain in this world. I feel that they can continue to look at this world through your eyes." Xu Taiping said.

"If that's really the case, then that's good." The old man smiled, then looked at Xu Taiping and said, "In the future, you should just call me old man. We'll each call each other, and to be honest, my impression of your father has already been very dim, because your father seems to be my grandson's younger generation. I just remember that your father has always been very rebellious when he was young."

"When did you know that I'm related to you by blood?" Xu Taiping asked.

"Call me old geezer." The old man said.

"Fine, old man, when did you know that I'm related to you by blood?" Xu Taiping asked with a smile.

"When did you know?" I knew it since the day you were born. You have to understand that there are many things in this world that cannot be hidden from a hundred year old man. " The old man said with a smile.

"So, many years ago, the first time you and I met was not a coincidence?" Xu Taiping asked.

"It was a coincidence." Even though I knew about you a long time ago, I never thought that I would actually meet you one day. I also didn't expect that you would treat me like this, and honestly, the reason why I don't want to go back now is because he doesn't always treat me like an old man. I am indeed older, around 120 or 130 years old, but I don't want him to not see me as an old man.

"In fact, I think you're old too. You're just an old urchin, actually. Tomorrow, it's my uncle's birthday, so you really need to go back to prevent others from saying that you're too old to remember anything. In order to let you go back, I've even specially let you into the capital." Xu Taiping said.

"Alright then, you can return with me tomorrow, but you can't tell them about this. We can sneak back ourselves." The old man said.

"Sure, then I'll pick you up tomorrow!" Xu Taiping said.

"Alright!" Mobile users please browse and read, better reading experience.
