After explaining their first encounter to Jing Yan, Yang Wei was sitting down on his chair nervously.
She had not given a response after learning of their past but continued to stare deeply at Yang Wei, seemingly inspecting him and his qualities.
And under the intensive stare from Jing Yan, the atmosphere was quickly becoming awkward for Yang Wei. It was like he had become a piece of a statue in a museum, open for display for others to view.
He had never been nervous at all, not even when he was facing enemies that are much more powerful than him.
However, when it came to the gaze of Jing Yan, Yang Wei felt like he was exposed naked in front of her.
A few minutes later, Yang Wei could no longer endure it as he asked, "M-Madam Jing Yan, is there something wrong with my face?"
He didn't dare to refer to her as mother-in-law considering how Jing Feng's grandfather was here as well and that he didn't gain their approval yet.
"Hmm, was I too intensive in my stare?" Jing Yan responded, showing a slight smile.
"Haha, my bad, Yang Wei. I'm just curious… How could someone like you be in the Foundation Core Stage yet emits a different kind of aura at the same time?"
"Hmm, now that you mentioned it, this brat is indeed too suspicious." As soon as Jing Yan finished her evaluation, Jing Tian nodded his head in agreement.
Yang Wei's aura was simply too ordinary at first glance that he had neglected such an important detail. He was emitting an aura of a Foundation Core stage cultivator, yet his confidence and demeanor do not match a lowly cultivator at all.
"Brat, why is your qi so weird?" Jing Tian asked outright, causing Jing Feng to glare at him.
She was here to bring Yang Wei over to meet her family, not for an interrogation.
Luckily, Yang Wei remained calm and patted her hand secretly to reassure her.
Anyone would have reacted in such a manner when they heard their granddaughter was about to be snatched by a man that came out of nowhere.
"Replying to Senior Tian, I was lucky enough to gain a lucky encounter during a secret realm. Hence, I've been cultivating some techniques different from the norms." Yang Wei cupped his fist and replied respectfully.
"Is that so?" Jing Tian raised an eyebrow.
He then stood up and released his might, smirking at the same time. "Come outside and have a brawl with me. If you can't even handle three strikes from me, then how could I be assured to have you beside my granddaughter."
"Grandfather, that's enough!" Jing Feng intervened and defended Yang Wei.
However, to her surprise, Yang Wei stood up and gently moved her aside, standing in front of Jing Tian. Not an ounce of cowardness could be seen in his eyes as he met Jing Tian's eyes.
"Xiao Feng, since your grandfather wants to test your boyfriend out, then just let him. You should know his stubborn temper." Jing Yan smiled and sipped some tea, her intention was clear as day.
"Mother!" Jing Feng kicked the ground softly and pouted like a little girl.
"Jing Feng, do you really have no trust in me?" Seeing her pouty attitude, Yang Wei tried to hold his laughter and teased her a bit instead.
"Of course, I trust you."
"Then that's enough for me to know. Just watch the show with my mother-in-law."
With that said, Yang Wei followed Jing Tian outside, who was already stretching his old bones.
"Hmph, I can see you still have some guts, brat. However, don't say I didn't warn you. I won't hold my strength back at all." Jing Tian sneered and instantly his aura exploded, causing the ground to crack a bit.
Yang Wei withstood the newly released aura head-on and stood his ground firmly. He knew this was his showcase of telling him now it was a good chance to retreat.
Unfortunately for Jing Tian, Yang Wei had no intention of acting as a coward and retreating in such a scenario.
Whoever dared to block him from being together with Jing Feng, then he shall let them know who he is, even if they are Jing Feng's grandparents.
Unless it was Jing Feng herself that told him to leave, then not even an immortal can move him.
Seeing that Yang Wei was adamant to receive his three strikes, Jing Tian nodded his head.
"Very well then, here's the first move." Jing Tian shouted and leaped forward. His hand turned into a fist as spiritual qi revolved around it.
Although it looked like a simple punch, the punch itself weighed at least 80 tons and contained devastating piercing power.
'This old man is really going all out.' Yang Wei thought, circulating his dantain to produce spiritual qi. Since the punch was a full-on frontal attack, Yang Wei would use the famous Tai Chi move to dissipate the power.
As the punch connected to his hand, Yang Wei turned his body 270 degrees, and opened his palm, dissipating the devastating power to another side.
BOOOOM!
With the devastating power being diverted to another place, the nearby mountain that received the strike shattered into numerous pieces.
Despite his success in receiving the first strike, Yang Wei wasn't happy a bit since his hand was bruised and the fact that Jing Tian had already begun his next strike.
This time, Jing Tian was using a martial technique of their Jing Family.
"Yang Wei, watch out! Grandfather is using the Flaming Dragon Strike." Jing Feng hurriedly warned from the side.
The Flaming Dragon Strike was a powerful martial technique that was said to harness the power of the dragons themselves. It was a complex series of movements, involving precise strikes and fluid, graceful leaps.
Jing Feng then explained her grandfather's movement to Yang Wei.
Flaming Dragon Strike began by gathering their internal energy within their dantian, a point located just below the navel.
Once their internal energy was fully charged, they would unleash it in a burst of flame, using precise hand movements and footwork to shape the flames into the form of a dragon.
It was said to be especially effective against dark forces and evil spirits, as the flames were believed to purify and banish them.
And it didn't take a genius to know that Jing Tian was trying to banish or purify Yang Wei like he was some evil spirit.
Yang Wei twitched his mouth in disbelief. 'What a crazy old man!'
Realizing that the strike was no joke, Yang Wei gathered some of his spiritual qi that had been stored in the Pagoda.
Maneuvering his body, Yang Wei created an outburst of spiritual qi, tackling the Flaming Dragon that was spawned by Jing Tian.
The collision of the two energies caused a massive explosion, sending Yang Wei back as he coughed up a mouthful of blood.
"Yang Wei!" Jing Feng cried aloud and hurriedly rushed to his side, holding him in her arms.
"Are you okay, Yang Wei?"
"I-I'm fine…" Yang Wei smiled slightly and replied in a weak voice.
Jing Tian really didn't hold back his strength at all and even used his high cultivation to bully the crap out of him.
However, Yang Wei could still be considered lucky since it was Jing Yan who had intervened at the last second. Otherwise, he wouldn't have just been coughing up blood but could be losing an arm or two.
"Daughter, I'm sorry. Forgive me already."
While the two of them were distracted, Jing Tian suddenly screamed in agony.
Turning their heads around, they saw Jing Yan twisting Jing Tian's ears like there was no tomorrow.
"Hmph, who the hell told you to unleash the Flaming Dragon Strike in its final form? Do you want my daughter to leave the Jing Clan again?" Jing Yan scolded harshly, forcing Jing Tian to go on his knees in a sorrowful way.
Seeing this scene, Yang Wei chuckled softly.
"It seems like your grandfather is having it worse than me even though he didn't cough up blood." He joked.
Jing Feng nodded her head. "Indeed, my mother isn't someone to be taken lightly when she becomes serious. Not even grandfather could handle her when she started acting up."
Although they somewhat felt bad for Jing Tian, the two of them didn't dare and allowed Jing Yan to punch and hit Jing Tian for a few minutes.
Of course, the strikes could easily be avoided by Jing Tian, but only a fool would even try to attempt to dodge them.
Sometime later, a bruised face Jing Tian walked over to Yang Wei with a bit of a resentful expression on his face.
"Tsk, since you managed to receive my Flaming Dragon Strike, we can ignore the last strike." Jing Tian scoffed and said.
His meaning was clear, Yang Wei had been accepted to be with Jing Feng.
A blissful smile appeared on Yang Wei's face as he struggled to get up and said, "Thank you Senior Tian for accepting me."
