《Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class》Chapter 93: Um... I'll Only Listen to My Son
Advertisement
"Senior, the sky is about to turn dark.
"I'll make my subordinates prepare a banquet to welcome you," Gu Hongtao offered a Wang Zhixing a meal as they walked.
He was so enthusiastic, but Wang Zhixing was afraid. He planned to leave as soon as he saw his son.
Still, he also could not reject him outrightly out of fear that he would do something bizarre again.
Wang Zhixing thought for a moment, then said, "I'm truly sorry, but I happen to have an appointment today. How about next time?"
Gu Hongtao became extremely nervous when he heard that.
Has… Has someone else beat me to it?
No! Absolutely not! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! I can't let him slip by!
Gu Hongtao started to think of a plan to make Wang Zhixing stay.
Just like that, they arrived at the cobblestone path outside the pavilion.
Just then, Wang Jiajun and Gu Zhengqi happened to be walking out of the pavilion.
Then, they saw each other.
Wang Jiajun froze upon seeing Wang Zhixing.
He felt exceptionally shocked; he'd thought that his eyes were messing with him.
Beside him, Gu Zhengqi was equally surprised.
Why was his great-great grandfather walking together with an unfamiliar man, and why was he so respectful?
At this moment, Wang Zhixing walked quickly towards Wang Jiajun.
He was very happy to see his son's shocked expression. He had obviously achieved the desired effect.
Wang Jiajun came back to his senses. His head was filled with questions.
"Dad, why are you here?"
"Are you surprised?" Wang Zhixing chuckled.
"…"
Wang Jiajun was speechless.
Gu Hongtao's head was buzzing after hearing their conversation.
Dad?
They… they're father and son?
Gu Hongtao was dumbfounded.
Because of his cultivation, Wang Zhixing had become younger.
From the way he looked, he only seemed to be 30 to 40 years old.
His son, Wang Jiajun, was in his thirties.

They already looked similar because they were father and son, but they were almost identical because Wang Zhixing looked younger.
They could have been mistaken for twins.
Gu Hongtao looked at the two of them in a daze and soon figured it out.
In the later stages of martial arts cultivation, one can return to their youth. This senior has reached that stage.
In other words, he's not a Transcendent, but even greater than that.
If he was beyond the Transcendent realm, he was truly a powerhouse.
Gu Hongtao's eyes lit up.
…
"Dad, how did you know I was here?"
Wang Jiajun was very puzzled. No more than five people knew that I was here, and I kept it especially confidential. How did Dad find out about it?
Whether intentionally or unintentionally, Wang Zhixing did not answer this question. Instead, he added, "Son, tomorrow is your 40th birthday. I don't have anything to give you, so I bought you a cake."
As he spoke, he shook the box in his hand and smiled happily.
When he saw his father in front of him, Wang Jiajun's heart was touched. A feeling of warmth spread inside him.
"Dad…" Tears welled up in Wang Jiajun's eyes as he choked.
Wang Zhixing teased, "You're so old, and you still cry so easily. Aren't you embarrassed?"
Wang Jiajun replied, "I'm crying tears of joy."
"You! You're still as stubborn as ever." Wang Zhixing smiled.
In this warm and touching atmosphere, Gu Hongtao walked over slowly.
He bowed to Wang Jiajun and said, "Officer Wang, I didn't expect you to be Senior's son. I've been ignorant. I can't believe that I failed to such recognize a formidable person. Please forgive me!"
Wang Jiajun was stunned.
Wang Zhixing was already used to it.
Then, Gu Hongtao looked at Gu Zhengqi and said sternly, "Zhengqi, quickly get someone to prepare a banquet. The best kind."

Gu Zhengqi was stunned. He was the most surprised out of all of them.
Even though he had many questions, he quietly left immediately.
Wang Jiajun regained his senses and wanted to stop Gu Zhengqi, but he had already gone away.
He had no choice but to tell Gu Hongtao, "Um… Dean Gu, my father and I will be leaving soon. This banquet is not necessary."
Gu Hongtao replied, "Young Master Wang, it'll be dark soon."
"It's difficult to walk on the mountain paths at night. It's better to stay for a meal and stay the night. It won't be too late to leave tomorrow! "
Wang Jiajun was determined. "Dean Gu, I think we should forget about it."
Gu Hongtao panicked.
He immediately turned to Wang Zhixing, bowed, and said, "Senior, it was not easy for you to come here.
"I only wish to do my best as a host. Senior, please give me a chance."
His attitude was extremely humble.
Wang Zhixing replied, "Well… I'll only listen to my son."
Gu Hongtao's heart skipped a beat. He was so anxious that he broke out in cold sweat again.
He had no choice but to beg Wang Jiajun again.
"Young Master Wang, please give me a chance." Gu Hongtao bowed.
Wang Jiajun's attitude didn't change, and he still refused decisively.
He was a civil servant and was very strict with himself. He would firmly reject such people who wanted to treat him to dinner.
Gu Hongtao panicked when he was rejected again. He was like an ant on a hot pan, at a loss of what to do.
What should I do?
What should I do?
…
Gu Hongtao was extremely anxious.
At this moment, Wang Jiajun suddenly said, "Dad, let's leave now while it's still bright!"
Wang Zhixing nodded. "Okay!"
They were about to leave when Gu Hongtao suddenly said, "Wait!"
Then, they heard a thump as he dropped to his knees again.
Wang Jiajun was shocked by this sudden action.
Wang Zhixing sighed and shook his head.
His fears came true.
"Young Master Wang, Senior, I'll kowtow to you. Please stay."
Bang!
Gu Hongtao kowtowed.
A large piece of cobblestone was immediately crushed, but there were no other injuries apart from a bit of crushed stone dust on his forehead.
The head of a Great Grandmaster was hard.
However, his kowtowing frightened Wang Jiajun and Wang Zhixing.
After all, Gu Hongtao was so old, and he was kowtowing so hard. They were afraid that something would happen.
Hence, Wang Jiajun immediately reached out to help him up.
However, he was an ordinary person. How could he help Gu Hongtao, who was a Great Grandmaster, up?
"Young Master Wang, if you won't agree, I will kowtow until you do."
Both Gu Hongtao's tone and gaze were determined.
He kowtowed again.
Right at this time, a group of people walked over from the small path. They were precisely the same people who were under the ancient tree.
When they saw this scene, they were all extremely shocked.
"Great great grandfather?"
"Grandfather?"
"Father?"
"Second Brother?"
"Grandmaster?"
"…"
Soon, these people ran over, their gazes full of concern.
"Don't come over!" Gu Hongtao suddenly shouted.
Everyone stopped in their tracks.
One of the elders said anxiously, "Second Brother, why… why…"
Gu Hongtao shouted, "This is my business. It has nothing to do with you."
"Also, come and greet Senior Wang and Young Master Wang!"
When they heard that, everyone was shocked once more.
They looked at Wang Zhixing and Wang Jiajun, faces filled with questions.
When they saw Wang Zhixing, the expressions of those elders changed. They looked as if they had seen something terrifying.
"I am Junior Gu Hongxiong. Welcome, Senior!"
"I am Junior Gu Hongyong. Welcome, Senior!"
"And I am Junior Gu Weiwan. Welcome, Senior!"
"…"
