"Kid, I'm all ears!" Qinchuan smiled.
"When I was young, I was a cultivation maniac. I spent almost all my time on cultivation. Add that to the fact that my talent and aptitude were quite good and my strength far surpassed those of my age, I slowly made my way out and my position rose higher and higher." As the old man spoke, he fell into deep thought.
Qinchuan listened quietly. He knew that the old man had just recalled the past.
"Earth Grade Nine, Qinchuan. How long have I been stuck at Earth Grade Nine? A hundred years. A hundred years ago, when I reached Earth Grade Nine, I realized that I was alone, truly alone. At that time, I had already taken over as the head of the inner sect of the Cloud Sky Sect. At that time, I also realized that it was very lonely to be alone. Most of my peers were married and had children. Some even had grandchildren."
The old man sighed softly, and a look of reminiscence appeared on his face. "That year, I got married. With my status, it was very simple. I liked her very much, and our married life was very happy. The next year, she gave birth to a son for me, and our family was very harmonious. That was the happiest period of my life."
Qinchuan listened carefully and Bu Fan also listened quietly. The old man sighed again.
The old man sighed again. "Maybe it's because the child was born late. His mother and I spoiled him too much. Basically, he could do whatever he wanted. That's how he grew up to be a lawless child. When we realized it, it was already too late. He was already an adult. He was lazy, unambitious, and lustful. But his mother and I just wanted him to live a peaceful and simple life. We never thought that he would be successful, so he got into a lot of trouble. I cleaned up after him a lot, but for my sake, he was able to get by."
Because of me, he was able to get by. "" He liked to stay in the brothel. In order to control his temper, a few years later, I arranged a marriage for him and let him get married. I hoped that marriage would make him mature. A year later, Hong Hu was born. His old habits acted up again and he started to fool around again. A few years passed quickly. When Hong Hu was eight, my son was framed and got into trouble with a force that he couldn't afford to offend. "
The old man's cloudy eyes were filled with helplessness, but there was also a trace of unwillingness. It was a deep pain. What had happened to him to make him like this?
"The Yue Yang family and the Cloud Sky Sect have always been competitors. In order to suppress me, the head elder of the Cloud Sky Sect, Qing Chang Feng, colluded with the current head of the Yue Yang family, Yue Yang Rusong. At that time, he wasn't the head of the Yue Yang family yet. Usually, they would drink with my son and could be considered friends. But this time, they knew that a group of people from the Tuoba family was passing by and that there was a very beautiful woman among them. Qing Chang Feng colluded with Yue Yang Rusong and set a trap for my son.
"My son fooled around with the lady of the Tuoba family and was injured by her. Then, he was brought to the Cloud Sky Sect. They gave me a choice. They wanted me to kill my son myself and give the position of the inner sect head to Qing Chang Feng. Otherwise, they would kill my family." The old man was trembling.
"I killed my son in front of my wife, daughter-in-law, and Hong Hu. He was my only son, but I killed him with my own hands … My wife and daughter-in-law committed suicide on the spot. Hong Hu's eyes were bloodshot and she bit her lips." The old man's body trembled. His cloudy eyes were filled with pain and struggle.
It took a while for the old man to calm down.
"In an instant, only me and Hong Hu were left in the family. I gave the position to Qing Chang Feng and brought Hong Hu to the outer sect. From that day on, Hong Hu never called me grandpa again. I will never be able to surpass this low level of cultivation." The old man softly said.
Qinchuan didn't speak. He knew that this matter wasn't over because the current inner sect head was his grandson.
"Hong Hu grew up. He was very good. When he was 35, he killed Qing Chang Feng. At that time, Qing Chang Feng flattered the Tuoba family. I don't know what method he used to make the young master and daughter of the Tuoba family speak up for him. "Hong Hu killed Qing Chang Feng and became the inner sect head of the Cloud Sky Sect. However, his heart was filled with hatred. He hated me, hated Qing Chang Feng, hated the Yue Yang family, hated the powerful Tuoba family, and even hated my disappointing son."
"Sometimes things are so unbelievable. Hong Hu fell in love with a woman and married her. Later, he found out that she was the daughter of the Yue Yang family's Yue Yang Rusong. In the eyes of outsiders, it was a marriage alliance. After all, not many people knew that Qing Chang Feng had colluded with Yue Yang Rusong. This was the Yue Yang family's method. Their goal was to destroy Hong Hu's cultivation foundation because that woman had become his everything. At that time, that woman had an affair with someone else and was caught by Hong Hu on purpose. Hong Hu was so angry that he killed the man with one palm. Then, he hit the Yue Yang family's lady until she vomited blood and was seriously injured. However, at that time, she told Hong Hu that she loved him very much. However, she couldn't help herself. In the end, she said three words, 'I'm sorry'. "
"These three words completely destroyed Hong Hu's cultivation foundation. Just like me in the past, he was empty. He hated everything, hated me, hated the world, and was muddle-headed. The Yue Yang family's lady was killed, and Hong Hu's condition was unstable. The Yue Yang family colluded with the Tan family to destroy the Cloud Sky Sect …"
Qin Chuan finally understood the gist of the situation. This old man was really bitter, and so was the leader of the inner sect, Hong Hu. He was forced to kill his beloved son with his own hands, and his wife and daughter-in-law committed suicide on the spot. Hong Hu watched as his own grandfather was forced to kill his own father, and his mother and grandmother committed suicide out of grief …
"Old man, what do you need me to do? I will help you. Maybe some things can't be done immediately, but I promise you, I will try my best to do it for you." Qinchuan thought about it and said.
"Qinchuan, I hope you can help Hong Hu get through this crisis." The old man looked at Qinchuan.
"Old man, even if you don't ask, I will do it." Qinchuan said.
"I don't have much hope for revenge. I only have one hope, and that is to let Hong Hu recover and walk out." The old man sighed.
Qinchuan hesitated. Letting Hong Hu recover and walk out was to let go of the knot in his heart. But the knot in his heart was too big, or it was hard to do. For example, he could take down the Yue Yang family, the Tan family, or even the Tuoba family. But that woman was dead, and the dead couldn't come back to life. But at this moment, Qinchuan still nodded, "I will try my best!"
"Thank you!" The old man said happily.
This was the first time Qinchuan saw the old man smile. At the same time, he was curious why the old man trusted him so much.
"You trust me that much?" Qinchuan couldn't help but ask.
"I have an instinct. I feel that you can do it." The old man said casually.
But Qinchuan knew that the old man's life was full of ups and downs. He must have experienced a lot of things and hardships. He must have his own unique points.
Qinchuan and Bu Fan said goodbye to the old man and walked outside. Bu Fan didn't say anything until now. He said, "Qinchuan, are you confident?"
