Chapter 751 Meet the Parents (2/2)

”Han Sen, you must be polite to grandfather,” Ji Yanran nervously reminded Han Sen.

”Don't worry.” Han Sen comforted Ji Yanran and followed the butler into the yard.

Han Sen thought he'd see the house upon entering the yard, but instead he saw a lake. Its surface was like a mirror, with a pavilion at its center. They looked like one.

The only way to go to the pavilion was across a bridge, and as he trod across it, he felt as if he was walking into a sublime painting.

”It looks like this grandfather is an elegant man; quite unlike me, it would seem.” Although he thought the place was beautiful, Han Sen would not desire to live there. Technology and metropolitan locales suited him far more.

”Sir, Mister Han is here.” The butler led Han Sen to the pavilion and politely spoke.

”Greetings, Grandpa.” Han Sen walked up and bowed, speaking with a soft tone of politeness. As he did so, he checked out the demigod legend.

Ji Yanwu was the center of the Ji family. He was a demigod elite, and quite famous in the Alliance. The Ji family's reputation in today's age was owed to this man.

He was so well-respected, even Ji Ruozhen would not speak of him in vain. He was a remarkable and important figure in the Ji family.

He did look different than what Han Sen had envisioned, however. He was a down-to-earth old man. His beard was white, but it was well-kept and clearly groomed. He didn't use technology to dye his hair black, and you could even see the wrinkles on his skin.

He looked very serious, though. His eyes stopped on Han Sen, but his emotions and thoughts were impossible to guess. That being said, there was nothing snobbish to feel, when being in his presence. All that you felt while being in his presence, was the need to revere him. You would feel compelled to listen to everything he said.

”Sit down.” Grandfather Ji pointed at the cushion in front of him. He spoke with a calm voice.

Han Sen was awash with relief, not hearing him comment on his calling him ”grandpa.” Han Sen was feeling more confident about things, and so he sat where he was bid to.

”Are you ready to marry Yanran?”

Han Sen had only just sat down, but such a question had already been asked. It came as quite the shock. Grandfather Ji looked at Han Sen, and his clear eyes looked as if they could read a person's mind. It made Han Sen feel as if he was naked in public, which made him a little nervous.

”Yes, Grandpa. I am going to marry her, and I have come here to request your permission to do so,” Han Sen said, all without hesitation.

Grandfather Ji looked at Han Sen, and then put away his scanner-like gaze. Then he said shortly, ”That is good. You are both still in service of the army. There is no rush to get married. Pick a date and bring your mother to Ruozhen so you may discuss the event.”

Han Sen thought he'd have to say and do a lot more than that, but already, the talk had come to an end. He hardly spoke at all and already, Grandfather Ji had bid that he return and make the appropriate preparations at once. He felt as if he had wasted his time earlier, thinking of all the ways he might approach and explain stuff to the man.

After Han Sen was led out by the butler, a man and woman approached from behind. It was Ji Ruozhen and his wife.

”Father, what do you think about this kid?” Ji Ruozhen asked.

Although Ji Yanran was their daughter, they would still listen to the opinion of Grandfather Ji.

”He is powerful. He is composed. In time, he can indeed become something,” Grandfather Ji said.

Missus Ji sighed and said, ”It is a shame he does not hail from a bigger family.”

Although Han Sen could get everything he wanted in the Second God's Sanctuary, amidst the the rich families in the Alliance, his influence was limited. He was just a young, smart guy—one without prior wealth.

”It is fine to be without a remarkable background. He will be given one, following his joining of our family,” Grandfather Ji said.
