Chapter 97 Meeting the Parents
When Yang Podi saw Ye Lingling that day, Ye Lingling seemed a little absent-minded, as if she was thinking about something or worried about something.
Looking at Ye Lingling's expression, Yang Podi couldn't help but ask, "Lingling, did something happen? You seem a bit off today?"
Ye Lingling thought for a long time before speaking: "Po Di, my family has found out about our relationship, and my grandfather wants to see you."
Yang Podi seemed a little conflicted upon hearing this: "Lingling, did your grandfather say anything? Will he object to us being together?"
"I don't know either. I just received a message from my grandfather saying that he wanted to see you."
"Okay, no problem, we'll go to your house together during this holiday."
Yang Podi thought about it carefully for a moment, and finally decided to go and see the old man.
Having lived two lives, Yang Podi rarely even dated, let alone met Ye Lingling's parents. This was his first time meeting Ye Lingling's parents, and he was extremely nervous, fearing that he might overlook something.
"Lingling, what's your grandfather's personality like? Do I need to make any preparations?"
Seeing Yang Podi looking a bit flustered, Ye Lingling couldn't help but smile: "Podi, my grandfather has a very good personality. He is the most famous healing-type Soul Master in the Tiandou region. He is known in the Soul Master world as the benevolent divine doctor."
Yang Podi breathed a sigh of relief: "I'm relieved that your grandfather has a good personality. I hope he won't make things difficult for me."
"What are you saying? How could my grandfather possibly make things difficult for you?"
Over the next few days, Yang Podi seemed to be in a bit of a mental and physical state of torment. After all, it was his first time meeting the senior, and he needed to prepare something for his first visit.
Especially after hearing Ye Lingling say that his name is Ye Renxin, and that he is the only healing-type Soul Douluo in the entire Douluo Continent with a Soul Power level of 81.
However, he seems to be quite old, and his soul power has not increased for many years. It is estimated that his martial soul is limiting him and his potential has been exhausted.
After thinking it over, Yang Podi decided to put some medicinal herbs in a jade box as a gift for their first meeting, hoping that the herbs would be helpful to his future grandfather.
When the holiday came, Yang Podi left the Heaven Dou Royal Academy with Ye Lingling. The Nine Heart Begonia family was also outside Heaven Dou City. It only took half an hour by carriage to get there.
To Yang Po's surprise, the area around Ye Lingling's house was very quiet. Apart from the Soul Masters from the family's residence, there was no one else coming and going, which did not seem like a place where many people came to seek medical treatment.
Seeing the confusion on Yang Podi's face, Ye Lingling then explained, "Our Nine Heart Begonia family is mainly a medical family. Apart from our family members, the rest of the people in our settlement are engaged in the cultivation of medicinal herbs."
"My grandfather usually lives in the clinic in Tiandou City. He doesn't usually come back to the family headquarters unless there are major family matters."
"Your grandfather lives inside the Tiandou City Medical Clinic? Wouldn't that be inconvenient?"
"There's nothing inconvenient about it. My grandfather's life goal was to treat patients. Besides, the clinic is very large, covering dozens of acres, and it was specially approved by the Heaven Dou Empire. The main purpose is to allow my grandfather to live in Heaven Dou City with peace of mind."
Upon hearing this, Yang Podi couldn't help but think to himself: Tian Dou City is incredibly valuable, yet the Empire has granted the Ye family a special grant of several dozen acres of land. They probably do this because they're afraid the continent's number one healing soul master will leave the Tian Dou Empire.
After arriving at Ye Lingling's house, the two went straight to the living room.
A thin old man sat in the main seat of the hall. His hair and beard were all white, but the skin on his face was as smooth and delicate as a baby's, making it impossible to tell his exact age.
After returning home, Ye Lingling introduced him first: "Grandpa, this is my boyfriend, Yang Podi."
"Po Di, this is my grandfather, and also the patriarch of our Nine Heart Begonia family."
Yang Podi quickly stepped forward and bowed: "Yang Podi greets Grandfather."
After speaking, he handed over a jade box, inside which lay a ginseng root a foot long, clearly the finest of ginseng – the King of Ten-Thousand-Year-Old Ginseng.
Ye Renxin did not accept the jade box, but spoke directly: "Yang Podi, you are the grandson of Yang Wudi of the Po clan. I met your grandfather some time ago. Your grandfather has a very deep understanding of medicine, especially in alchemy, where he is even better than me."
Yang Podi quickly replied, "Grandpa, you flatter me. Although our Po clan is skilled in alchemy, we are far inferior to Grandpa Ye in terms of healing and saving lives. You are the recognized number one healing-type Soul Master on the entire continent."
Ye Renxin waved his hand: "In terms of medicine, strength is strength. There is no way to fake it. My martial soul is the Nine Heart Begonia, so it is normal for it to be strong in healing. On the contrary, your Breaking Clan is clearly not a healing-type soul master, or even a plant-type soul master. It is truly rare to be able to master the way of medicine like this."
"Thank you for the compliment, Grandpa Ye. These are just things passed down in our family."
Ye Lingling, who was standing to the side, seemed to have had enough. The two of them had been talking for a long time, and it turned out that they were only talking about knowledge about alchemy.
"Grandpa, Podi, you only met today because of me, but why are you talking about nothing but alchemy?"
After Ye Lingling finished speaking, she took the jade box from Yang Podi's hand and placed it directly in Ye Renxin's hand.
Ye Renxin was speechless for a moment. Seeing his granddaughter's attitude, he realized that daughters really are hard to keep at home once they grow up.
Ye Renxin remained silent for a moment before speaking: "Yang Podi, do you truly want to be with my granddaughter?"
"Grandpa, Lingling and I truly love each other, and I'm sure I'll cherish her for the rest of my life."
"Do you know about the curse of our Nine-Heart Begonia family?"
"My Po clan is skilled in alchemy. I have read many things in books, including the Love-Sickness Heartbreak Red and the Qiluo Jade Golden Fragrance Immortal Herb. As long as we find these two immortal herbs, we can definitely cure Lingling's martial soul defect."
"I've heard of these two magical herbs you mentioned, but countless years have passed, and no one has ever seen them, or even knows if they're real or not."
"Grandpa Ye, I have received news of these two immortal herbs. Even if it takes all my energy, I will help Lingling find these two immortal herbs."
At this moment, Ye Renxin seemed a little emotional: "Yang Podi, I am old now. I just want my granddaughter to live a happy life and for him to have someone to rely on in the future."
"Grandpa, you can rest assured about that. As long as I'm here, I can definitely guarantee Lingling's safety."
After Yang Podi finished speaking, the three people present seemed to fall silent, and the entire room fell into an eerie quiet.
After an unknown amount of time, Ye Renxin finally spoke, breaking the eerie silence.
