chapter 34 Blinded by light

After Canyn had Hiroko settled down, he hurried to Tokai University. Upon seeing the villa complex, Canyn was amazed. Who would have thought that within a university campus there would be facilities rivalling those of many wealthy individuals? It seemed that Tokai University was indeed very powerful. Canyn didn't bring any gifts and casually arrived at Omarr's villa, ringing the doorbell. The door opened to reveal Omarr's face. "Fellow senior," Canyn greeted with a smile. "Canyn, you're here! Come in, come in," Omarr greeted with a beaming smile, as if spring had come upon a withered tree. Upon entering, Canyn immediately saw a group of people in the large living room. Omarr quickly introduced them, "Canyn, these are my children, and your juniors. Owan, this is the head of the Immortal Doctors sect, my fellow junior, and your grand-teacher." Owan, Ophir, Yoshiro, Vincie, Swathi, Ophir's wife Ziasia, Wilkin, and Uneeda, a total of eight people, all stared at Canyn in a daze. They were stunned by Canyn's youth. Was this young person, who had reached the age of adulthood, really the head of the Immortal Doctors sect, and was their father's junior? Was this a joke? Despite Omarr's earlier warnings, everyone was still in disbelief, standing there like wooden chickens. Omarr frowned. He hadn't mentioned Canyn's age earlier because it wasn't necessary. Regardless of age, status is status, and it has nothing to do with age. Seeing his children's reaction, which was extremely rude, he feared Canyn might get upset. So, Omarr coughed heavily. Owan was the first to react. Though feeling awkward, he was the eldest son and deeply influenced by Omarr. He promptly knelt down and said, "Grand-teacher, I’m disciple Owan." "Fellow senior, what are you doing?" Canyn frowned. Seeing others also trying to kneel like Owan, he waved his hand, and a surge of spiritual energy prevented them from kneeling. "Canyn, I have never taken disciples in my life, but my children and grandchildren all practice martial arts, inheriting from me. They are also disciples of our sect. You are their elder, and proper respect cannot be abandoned," Omarr said seriously. Canyn smiled wryly, realizing Omarr was indeed a very traditional person. Yesterday, he had his wife Teresa kneel, and now he was asking his children to do the same. He was someone who deeply valued his sect, elders, and etiquette. "Let's just get to know each other. There's no need for such formalities," Canyn said sternly, leaving no room for doubt. Omarr hesitated but seeing Canyn's firm stance, he nodded. In fact, he could see that Canyn had intervened. Now, even if they wanted to kneel, they couldn't. Meanwhile, Vincie, Ophir, and the others were shocked. They were about to kneel just moments ago. But an invisible force had stopped them, making it impossible for them to kneel. Everyone was now respectful, putting aside their earlier disdain due to Canyn's youth. Canyn might be young, but his strength had reached an extremely high level. Owan was even more astonished, as he was not standing up of his own volition, but was lifted by an invisible force. He felt utterly powerless against this force. "Fellow senior, please introduce them," Canyn said with a smile, maintaining his composure. Since they were all juniors, although each of them appeared extraordinary and of considerable age, Canyn still maintained his demeanour. After all, as the head of the Immortal Doctors sect and a cultivator, once Canyn exhibited his stature as the sect leader, an aura emerged that made others overlook his age and influenced their minds. "Canyn, this is my eldest son, Owan, currently the deputy team leader of the Red Team in the Secret Service in the capital," Omarr introduced Owan. "Grand-teacher, junior Owan here." Owan saluted. "Hmm, good foundation and deep roots. Later, I will pass on to you the remaining three layers of the mysterious martial technique. Entering the Homosapien level in ancient martial arts will be a breeze for you. Consider it a welcome gift from me, your grand-teacher," Canyn sensed Owan's condition. Although Owan was no longer young, he was full of vitality and had room for improvement. However, his age made it unlikely for him to break through to the innate level. "Thank you, grand-teacher," Owan was overjoyed. "This is my second son, Ophir, currently the mayor of Tokai City. He isn’t so talented, so his achievements in ancient martial arts are limited," Omarr continued with a smile. "Grand-teacher, junior Ophir here." Ophir also saluted. Canyn was shaken in his heart. The Mayor of Tokai City. Although Canyn doesn't know if it's the main or deputy mayor, this status is indeed high enough. What status does Tokai City have in the nation? Being the mayor here, what level is that? The Secretary and Mayor of Tokai City are both high-ranking members of the Politburo, right? The Omarr family, they are truly not one of simple background. Sure enough, following Omarr's introduction, Canyn met the people present. Omarr's third son, Yoshiro, turned out to be the founder of Novum Group, which is one of the top thirty large private enterprises in the nation. There was also Vincie, the head of the training department of the Secret Service, and Swathi, although only a small official in a western province, her husband is the governor of a province. There was also the wife of Ophir, Ziasia, who also looked like a person of wealth. To be married to Ophir, there was more than a half chance that her family background was not simple. "This is Ophir's son, named Wilkin," Omarr introduced Wilkin. Wilkin, with a conflicted expression and under the gaze of the elders, had no choice but to muster his courage and say, " Wilkin here, grand-uncle." Canyn chuckled inwardly. Wilkin's father being the Mayor of Tokai City, he naturally was the legendary official's son. Such a person, who wouldn't normally look down on others? For him to address someone much younger than himself as grand-uncle, the complexity in his heart, the various tastes, Canyn understood them all. "We are not that different in age, we are all young people, let's just address each other casually," Canyn said with a smile. "How can this be, customs cannot be discarded," Omarr immediately opposed as soon as Canyn finished speaking. "Fellow senior," Canyn frowned. "Customs cannot be discarded," Omarr emphasized. "Then don't call me grand-uncle, just address me as Mr. Canyn," Canyn said, already knowing that due to his youth and status, there would be issues with addressing him. Look, it turned out to be true. "Call him grand-uncle," Omarr said seriously, looking expectantly at Wilkin. Wilkin immediately drooped his head. "Grand-uncle, my name is Uneeda. Do you really have the last three levels of the mysterious martial arts technique?" Uneeda introduced herself and immediately asked. "Is it that if I don't have the last three levels of the mysterious martial arts technique, you won't acknowledge me as your grand-uncle?" Canyn said with a smile. Uneeda was a great beauty, seemingly even a notch higher than Corda and Leaya. Tall and well-proportioned, with a pair of bright eyes which portrayed intelligence, and an air of elegance about her, she was very pleasing to the eye. "Of course not, an elder is an elder, our grandfather has taught us this since we were young. How could we forget? It's just that, having or not having the continuation of the mysterious martial arts technique is of great significance to our entire family. Even on a smaller scale, it relates to my future prospects," Uneeda said somewhat proudly, "I don't want my progress to be hindered by the lack of a technique." "You indeed have talent, a martial arts prodigy," Canyn assessed Uneeda and found that her foundations were indeed very good. If really hindered by the lack of a technique, it would indeed be a great pity. "Grand-uncle, could you not say that? What prodigy, in front of you, that's nothing," Uneeda said somewhat helplessly. The sensation of being supported by an invisible force earlier made her feel Canyn's unfathomable depth, like a high mountain, awe-inspiring. In comparison, Uneeda didn't think of herself as any genius. "You just lack a good teacher's guidance. If you have any doubts in the future, feel free to ask me," Canyn began to take an interest in nurturing talent. In the world of martial arts, there aren't many with talents like Uneeda. If well-cultivated, Uneeda does have a chance to reach the innate level. And the innate level in martial arts is equivalent to the Foundation Establishment phase in cultivation. Although the real combat power is not as strong as cultivators, it's still very formidable. "Thank you so much, grand-uncle," Uneeda was very excited. "Uneeda, you are making it seem like your grandfather is so inferior," Omarr scolded with a laugh. "Compared to grand-uncle, Grandpa, you really are quite inferior," Uneeda said with a twinkle in her eyes and a smile. Her words made everyone laugh. Teresa called everyone to sit down for dinner. Omarr happily opened a bottle of fifty-year-old Moutai wine. Canyn did not refuse. Canyn also liked to drink a little, especially wine. And like this fifty-year-old Moutai, if he didn't drink it this time, it was really hard to say whether there would be another chance to do so. Especially when drinking together, Chinese people always seem to become closer very quickly. After three to five cups, everyone's relationship had clearly progressed further. "Grand-uncle, you are also a prospective student of Tokai University," during the meal, when Canyn mentioned he was a prospective student, Uneeda exclaimed. "Does it not look like it?" Canyn said with a smile. "It does," Uneeda chuckled, "I'm also a student at Tokai University. I'm a junior this year." "Then you are my junior." "Grand-uncle, please don't say that, otherwise after you leave, Grandpa wouldn't know how to scold me," Uneeda hurriedly stopped Canyn. "Hahaha, Fellow senior, you’re so strict," Canyn said to Omarr with a laugh. "Discipline needs to be strict, otherwise how can they achieve anything," Omarr asked, "By the way, Canyn, I remember someone called me yesterday, mentioning this name, saying that he was being watched by the Tokai Secret Service. Is that you?"
