Tang Xinyue and Han Peng looked at the bodyguard as if he was an idiot. There was no way the two of them could believe the words of the bodyguard.
Li Yao's disguise did look very convincing. At first, even the bodyguard couldn't believe that the old geezer was Li Yao in disguise.
The guard gritted his teeth, he knew the two of them could not believe his words. Having no other choice, the bodyguard had to forcibly reveal Li Yao's disguise.
"He's just a boy in disguise! If you don't believe me, let me prove it!" exclaimed the bodyguard then charged towards Li Yao.
Strikingly pulled, the bodyguard intended to finish off Li Yao in one strike but was intercepted by Tang Xinyue. The sound of swords and machetes clanging against each other. The beautiful woman finally pulled the sword on her back.
"Surge! Don't block me!" said the bodyguard was angry, each attack could be easily tepis by the woman.
The bodyguard was a 2nd class swordsman, he had just reached the Qi Gathering Realm. Each swordsman had a rank that was determined based on his cultivation level and ability.
Starting from :
Class 3 Swordsman,
Class 2 Swordsman,
Class 1 Swordsman,
Expert Swordsman,
Sky Warrior, Sky Warrior,
The King of Swords, and
Heaven's Ruler.
In order to obtain a rank, a swordsman would have to complete several tests set up by the Heavenly Alliance. After that, a plaque bearing his name and rank would be given to him.
There are many uses of the plaque, one of its simplest uses is to get a job. The higher the rank, the higher the pay and people who want to hire him.
Although the bodyguard was a 2nd class swordsman, he was one of the weakest 2nd class warriors. That's why he only worked in a quiet place, in a place where the rich merchant who made him rarely involved with people stronger than himself.
The fight had bored Li Yao. The bodyguard would soon be successfully subdued by Tang Xinyue. Li Yao could not see Tang Xinyue's abilities any further because her opponent's level was too low.
Before the bodyguard lost, Li Yao took out a small knife from the slip of his shirt. The knife he got after ransacking the clothes of a beggar a moment ago.
Li Yao poured his Qi into the blade while waiting for the right time to attack. The guard collapsed, Li Yao in an instant threw the knife at the guard.
The knife hit the bodyguard's head, pierced through his skull. The bodyguard eventually died. Tang Xinyue was startled then turned her head to look at Li Yao.
"This grandfather is no ordinary grandfather. Who is the identity of this grandfather? I can't see the level of his cultivation," Tang Xinyue said inwardly, to be honest he was extremely shocked at not being aware of Li Yao's attack just now.
At first Tang Xinyue thought Li Yao was an ordinary grandfather. He never expected that the unknown grandfather who pretended to be his grandfather was a swordsman. From now on Tang Xinyue will be careful.
"I'll be visiting your sect tonight, so prepare a suitable reward for me" Li Yao told Han Peng after his affairs with the bodyguard were over.

The various dishes on the table that Li Yao ate were extremely greedy. As if not eating for days, Tang Xinyue astonishedly observed Li Yao's extremely voracious eating manner.
"Just eat slowly, no one will steal Grandpa's food." Tang Xinyue reminded, she was a bit worried that Li Yao would choke.
Some laughed at Li Yao, some were bothered by her attitude, some were unconcerned, and there were definitely some who were entranced to see Tang Xinyue's figure.
Tang Xinyue ignored all those gazes. When he is around people, he is always the center of attention. Either because of her beauty or talent. To be sure Tang Xinyue was already used to dealing with this kind of situation.
"This is the pleasure of the world" Li Yao said as he chugged a glass of wine.
Li Yao's casual attitude and manner involuntarily made Tang Xinyue smile thinly.
"Accidentally whose grandfather? How should I call grandpa?" tang Xinyue asked curiously, from there she waited for the right time to ask that.
"Call me Grandpa Li, I am a warrior who likes to travel. Almost all the places in the world I've been to, but now I'm tired and just want to go home" Li Yao replied as he was.
"So, why did grandfather accept the request of the sect master and claim to be my grandfather?" ask Tang Xinyue again.
"Because I'm interested in you," Li Yao said as he cleaned up the food marks in his mouth.
"What reason is that? What if I reveal my grandfather's identity to the sect master? What do you think is going to happen?" tang Xinyue asked again.
"You attacked me with so many questions," Li Yao said.
Tang Xinyue's face changed. He felt bad asking all of that. In the heart of the woman asked, was his attitude towards grandfather impolite?
"Try to see your face now! That is why you will not reveal my true identity. You are naive, kind, and less assertive" Li Yao said, smiling.
Tang Xinyue's expression changed again. Now he was furious at Li Yao's words.
"What do you mean?"
"When we first met, you used me to drive the four men away."
"It's because I've already rejected them, yet they still insist on trying to persuade me," Tang Xinyue replied.
"That's proof that you're less assertive. If they remain stubborn, you can threaten them using your power. If you are serious, I know you can defeat their sect head," Li Yao explained.
"I don't want to look for a commotion." Tang Xinyue tried to defend herself.
"We live in a chaotic world! Sooner or later the commotion will definitely be looking for you. Swordsmen are arrogant beings who like to look for trouble, they keep competing to show that they are superior to others," Li Yao retorted.
Tang Xinyue could not answer. What Li Yao had just said was a truth in this world. After digesting all of Li Yao's words and introspecting himself, Tang Xinyue again asked him the thing that made him curious.
"Why did you say I was naive and kind?"
"Remember the man I killed using this knife?" Li Yao pointed a small blade in front of Tang Xinyue.
Tang Xinyue nodded.
"I knew you could kill that guy in one hit, but you didn't. You must have realized that when the man had killed someone, it felt from the murder and blood on his clothes. Despite knowing all that, you still bother to defend the man's attack while trying to interrogate him," Li Yao explained at length.
For a moment Tang Xinyue fell silent, everything Li Yao said about her was true.
"Now grandfather really looks like my grandfather."
