The Peerless Emperor

When Yun Fan slowly opened his eyes, Yun Rong, who stood by the bedside, wept with overwhelming joy. This was the first time her husband had awakened in a month.

Lying on the bed, Yun Fan's expression was clearly still confused. When he propped himself up from the bed, a slight shock arose in his heart as he realized that his strength seemed to have somewhat recovered.

After he felt better, Yun Fan immediately noticed the young man standing beside his bed. The other's appearance was too reminiscent of his son-in-law. Those eyes were almost identical to those of his precious daughter.

"Grandfather, your grandson has arrived," said Lin Qian as he knelt by the bed, looking at Yun Fan, whose face still bore traces of gauntness, and speaking in a soft voice.

At this moment, there was no Emperor of the Huaxia Empire, just a child finally seeing his grandfather.

In his previous life, Lin Qian was all alone. Even when he found his biological parents, the happy days were so brief.

Therefore, in this life, he held family ties in particularly high regard.

Royal families are known for being heartless, yet Lin Qian, though an Emperor, was a distinct one, a peerless Emperor from another world.

After coming to this amazing world, the very concept of a royal family from his previous life had already dissipated like smoke.

Even in the ancient cultures of the past, no wise and matchless Emperor had a group of subjects capable of flying through the skies and burrowing through the earth.

"Qianer..." The finally awakened Yun Fan came back to his senses, tremblingly extended his hand to gently touch Lin Qian's head, and his face broke into a heartwarming smile, "Haha, child, it's so good to see you. Heaven has been kind, letting me see my grandson before I die."

"Grandfather, you are wrong there," Lin Qian chuckled as he rebutted the moment Yun Fan had finished speaking, "Your grandson is still counting on grandfather to get better, to stand behind him as he goes out to rescue his parents."

Lin Qian's words rendered Yun Fan silent; after a while, he laughed heartily: "Good, since my fine grandson says so, I, as your grandfather, will certainly fight to recover."

Yun Rong, watching her husband, let tears flow silently.

In the past, as a collateral member of the Yun family, her status was lowly. After joining with Yun Fan in marriage, he became her sky.

With Yun Fan, she no longer needed to fear envy and hide her natural talent and realm.

Theirs was not a passionate love story, but a life of mutual support.

Especially since Soul Martial Artists have robust physiques, making childbirth difficult, having a daughter late in life made them cherish her all the more. Their days should have been filled with joy, but unfortunately, things did not go as hoped.

It was at this moment that Yun Fan suddenly caught sight of Yuan Supreme in the distance, and, astonished, struggled to rise and bow: "Junior has seen the Elder Ancestor."

"Junior has a brazen request, asking for your aid. My daughter and son-in-law, as well as this grandson, will likely be in peril without me..."

"There is no need for such formalities; your injuries are beyond my ability to heal," Yuan Supreme gently shook his head as he spoke to Yun Fan.

Hearing Yuan Supreme's words, a shade of disappointment crossed Yun Fan's face.

"However, I have accompanied the young lord here. He has said he can heal your injuries, so naturally, it shouldn't be a problem," Yuan Supreme's words reignited hope in Yun Fan's face.

Yun Fan was not one to cling to life out of fear of death, but he could not die. If he died, his daughter and son-in-law's prospects would likely be grim, and his wife's life would also be in jeopardy.

As for the grandson he had just met, his fate would likely be...

"Dare I ask, Elder, who this young master is, and may I be introduced?" One who is referred to as the young master by Yuan Supreme must be extraordinarily remarkable.

Yuan Supreme, what kind of person is he? All members of the Human Clan who meet him must respectfully address him as the Prestigious Ancestor, even his godfather must maintain reverence in his presence.

To Yuan Supreme, who stands above the entire Soul Martial Continent, the only ones that truly catch his eye are those formidable clan elders of different races.

When I was young, I visited the Yuan family's territory and happened to catch a glimpse of Yuan Supreme, therefore recognizing him.

Even Yuan Supreme once favored me with guidance and kindness.

Such a person referring to someone as the young master, I fear, has a significant background.

"Your grandson Lin Qian," Yuan Supreme said, "is the person that our Yuan family venerates as the young master, as personally dictated by our Prestigious Ancestor." Yuan Supreme's words left Yuan Hu with a shocked expression, looking at his own ancestor without daring to speak.

Yuan Supreme seemed to have anticipated Yuan Hu's reaction, and with a light chuckle, he nodded at him: "Whether to conceal or reveal this matter, there's no longer any need."

"Qianer?" Yuan Supreme's words startled Yun Fan, and he looked in amazement at his grandson, who had already stood up.

Wait a minute!

The Prestigious Ancestor, currently universally acknowledged by the Human Clan, is none other than Yuan Supreme, the Gatekeeper of the Yuan family's generation.

And the only person who could be addressed as the Prestigious Ancestor by him...

Is Lord Xuan Yuan Xiang, the Human Clan's number one legend, the mythical figure who named the Soul Martial Continent.

Yun Fan turned to look at his grandson beside him, struggling to understand what had happened to him; what could have possibly occurred to his grandson that the legendary Lord Xuan would recognize him as the young master of the Yuan family?

"What if I told you," Yuan Supreme said playfully, "that your grandson is the ruler of a power known as Huaxia Empire, an Emperor—how would you feel?" At this moment, Yuan Supreme was also quite amused. "The entire Southern Domain, spanning one thousand nine hundred and seventy-two states, has already been entirely absorbed into the Huaxia Empire, and now your grandson is the ruler of the entire Southern Domain, the Master of the Southern Domain."

"What?" Not only Yun Fan but also Yun Rong beside him and Yuan Hu were all swept up by a tidal wave of shock; they couldn't fathom how this young boy in front of their eyes had become the ruler of the entire Southern Domain.

As Yuan Supreme spoke, a mischievous look appeared on his face: "Therefore, if the young master says he can cure your current condition, I have no doubt about it. From now on, follow whatever your own grandson suggests."

At that moment, Lin Qian too smiled towards Yuan Supreme.

Yuan Supreme's words had not only brought intense shock to his grandfather and others but also served as a powerful confidence booster for them.

If Lin Qian had said it himself, they would probably take it as him just trying to cheer them up, but coming from Yuan Supreme, the effect was completely different.

Lin Qian could see intense confidence filling those around his grandfather.

The power of confidence is formidable; once his grandfather's mindset shifted, it would be of great assistance for the upcoming treatment.

A joyful and confident mood often doubles the efforts put into a task.

"Grandfather, we're about to begin, are you ready?" Lin Qian asked his grandfather Yun Fan with a smile.

Yun Fan sat cross-legged on the bed, sweeping away the gloom on his face and nodding at his grandson.
