Cheat Cultivator's Ascension

"Father, what are you doing here?" the current sect master asks the old man with curiosity as it never happens that he attends the talent assessments, even back when he was the sect master.

"I heard that your offspring with that woman was currently here" the old man said as his gaze wanders around, eventually landing on Wu Xiaotian currently behind his mother, before continuing, "Is that him?"

"Indeed, but he refuses to go with me" the sect master replies with utmost respect.

"Is that so?" the old man muttered as he disappears and reappear somewhere else, behind Su Meiyao where Wu Xiaotian currently is. Grabbing him by the neck, the old man eyed him emotionlessly as he said, "How about I punish him for doing that?"

Finally catching up to what just happened, Su Meiyao bowed lower until she was bowing 90 degrees as she shouts, "Please let my son go old sect master!! I'll take the punishment in his stead!"

"Shut up, this has nothing to do with you" the old man carelessly said treating what she just said like nothing, turning back his attention to the kid currently in his hand. "Now where are we, ah that's right"

Disappearing from the plaza, the old man appears atop a mountain peak unfamiliar to the boy, drawing out his sword and pointing it towards the kid's face, the old man once again stares at the boy face to face and what he saw terrifies him.

The eyes of a beast, while young and currently helpless still shook something in his primal instinct so much that he trembles for a second. If someone that knows him saw the old man acting like that, they will be terrified by the kid given how strong that old man is.

From the horizon, four figures, three adult and one child arrive in the mountain peak. Seeing them, the old man spoke once again as if to let them bear witness.

"This kid is young but arrogant, so I'm helping him go towards the right path by disciplining him now, I'll take one of his eyes, so I hope this will be a lesson for him in the future" the old man said righteously without hesitation as the sword in his hand starts to glow.

"How about we stop now" luckily, before the old man manages to thrust his sword towards Wu Xiaotian, a bell-like voice resounded along with the appearance of a white-haired beautiful woman at the same level as his mother albeit a bit behind whether in terms of face or body, stopping the sword with her dainty fingers.

Seeing the new figure, the three adults bowed once again as they greeted, each calling the lady differently.

"Mother!!" the sect master, along with the lady carrying a sleeping little girl greeted with a bit neutral yet still respectful tone of voice.

"Mother-in-law!" Su Meiyao however, called to her as if she's a savior that arrives in the nick of time, her voice a mixture of immense gratefulness and relief.

"Xinyue, are you sure you're going to stop me?" the old man asked as his expression gradually turn hideous, the sword in his hand shaking as if forcing the lady's hand to back down.

"Old Yang, this kid is still you're grandchild, how about you be lenient to him like how you spoil little Yao over there" the lady replied as she pointed towards the sleeping girl carried by the woman beside Wu Xiaolong.

"Jiang Xinyue, stop meddling with my business and return to the palace" the old man coldly said as if he expects the lady to follow his command.

Hearing this though, the lady exploded as she raises her voice when she replied, "Wu Xiaoyang, as your wife, I have been tolerating your behavior time and time again in hopes that you would return to treating me like how you did back in the past, but what did I receive? Your character is becoming more and more horrible, I couldn't even look at you."

"You better stop now while I was being nice with you woman, else the consequences will be dire" the old man replied with his eyes already red from anger, the qi around him surging as if dancing to the sound of carnage.

"HAHAHA you think this old lady is afraid of you!? You might be a bit stronger but that's it!! You think you will come out with just simple injuries when I fight you seriously?" the lady, refusing to back down, releases her own aura preventing the old man's from reaching Wu Xiaotian.

Despite being in the middle of a battle of aura between two masters, Wu Xiaotian was thinking of nothing else but the safety of his mother along with gratefulness for the lady in front of him. Hearing her identity though, his opinion of her was mixed as he never really had a good feeling towards his biological father's side of the family, given what the father and son duo just did to him.

'As for how to deal with these two fuckers, I'll think about it when I'm stronger' he thought to himself to calm his heart down, before directing his gaze towards the old man once again.

The old man, seeing that the lady in front of him refuses to budge, releases the boy from his hand as he flew away from the mountain peak, his voice resounding across the entire Extreme Martial Sect before completely disappearing.

"The first born of the current sect master, Wu Xiaotian, will be exiled from the sect the moment he reaches the age of twelve, as a punishment for disrespecting his elders"

Hearing this, the current sect master as well as the lady beside him decided to leave as well leaving the white-haired lady along the mother and son behind.

"Humph, in the end, you still back down huh… coward" the white-haired lady said before directing her gaze towards Wu Xiaotian, checking him for any injuries before patting all around his body as if to clean him of any dust.

"Are you okay dear?" she said with a soft voice and a smile on her face, seeing that he is still apprehensive of her existence.

"Meiyao, how about you introduce me to my little grandson hmm?" the white-haired lady said as she stares toward Su Meiyao, causing her to smile towards the white-haired lady as she eventually approaches the two.

"Tian'er, this here is mama's auntie Xinyue, a good friend of my mother and well, my mother-in-law" she said surprising the boy and triggering an intense curiosity in him that was satisfied by the two ladies.

Apparently, his paternal and maternal grandmothers met when they're young ladies travelling across the world. At first, they only thought of each other as someone worth respecting and relatable given both of them possessing world charming appearances, as well as heaven defying cultivation talent.

However, a certain incident forces them to work together making them find out that they have more similarities than just being in the same circumstances.

From there, they eventually become good sisters by going through countless life and death struggles, and they held each other with so much importance that even when finding out that her good sister is a dual cultivator, Jiang Xinyue doesn't even hesitate to continue being her sister, in fact, because her sister was the one who told the truth to her, Jiang Xinyue's respect for her grew further due to her honesty.

Unfortunately for them, the two of them was bound to be separated once the people from her sect found out. With Jiang Xinyue being dragged back and locked in the Extreme Martial Sect, their contact was completely severed.

The next time she got an opportunity to have contact with her sworn sister was the first time since being locked up that she was allowed to go out, their first meeting after a long while also being the last one, where she asks her to take care of her daughter in her stead, before she jumps across a raging river refusing to be captured by the number of cultivators surrounding them.

Finding out that Su Meiyao is her sworn sister's daughter, she did everything in her power to protect her even if it means going against her husband, who is already starting to treat her like an object, a trophy of sort back then.
