Pei Xiaoxiao shook her head and said, "No, that's not it. Great-Grandfather died twenty years after he left the Sect. He's been dead for over sixty years now.
In these sixty years, because Great-Grandfather passed away so early, life became harder and harder for each generation of the Pei Family. On top of that, no one had a Spirit Root of more than fifteen points.
They couldn't practice Cultivation at all, so everything that was passed down was eventually considered a mere legend.
If I hadn't accidentally found Great-Grandfather's cultivation manuscript and somehow succeeded in my Cultivation...
...the Pei Family would have ceased to exist long ago, let alone be able to issue a Sect task."
Zhang Deming said, stunned, "Sixty years? Why?"
Pei Xiaoxiao began to explain, "According to the stories about him, Great-Grandfather was unwilling to accept his fate. After leaving the Sect, he married and had my grandfather, but he never took another concubine.
