Lin Qingxue's Grandfather, Lin Heming

It was near dusk.

Lin Qingxue sat alone on the roof of her small house, hugging her knees with her chin resting on them, pouting her small mouth, and looking at the sea of clouds in the distance.

In the distance, the sunset glow was like blood, dyeing half the sky red.

There seemed to be something in the middle of the setting sun.

Lin Qingxue narrowed her eyes to look.

In a daze, she actually saw a face in the sun, with a piece of foxtail grass dangling from its mouth, smirking at her.

Looking at that face, Lin Qingxue suddenly cupped her hands like a megaphone and yelled at the setting sun, Heartless man!!!

I hate you the most!!!!

After shouting this out, she felt much more relieved.

Whenever I feel upset in the future, I can just scold that guy, Lin Qingxue muttered softly.

As soon as she finished speaking, a white-bearded old man suddenly appeared on the roof, staring at her with wide eyes. Who is the heartless man?

Waah!

Lin Qingxue was startled and almost fell off the roof. She managed to sit up straight and, seeing the newcomer, said grumpily, Grandpa, why are you here?

Hehe, my Nannan is unhappy, so of course Grandpa has to come. The old man squatted down with a smile.

Nannan, tell Grandpa about it, okay?

Hearing this, Lin Qingxue froze.

The grievance she had finally managed to suppress surged back up. With tears in her eyes, she threw herself into the old man's arms. Grandpa... why do all my senior sisters think that Ye Shu, who was the one getting beaten, is the bad guy?

But... the one who was completely unreasonable was clearly Feng Mengli!

Hearing this, the old man paused.

He naturally knew about the recording stone that was causing an uproar outside, which was also the reason he came to find Lin Qingxue.

But right now, it was better to comfort the child first.

Because sometimes, the old man smiled and rubbed Lin Qingxue's head.

People don't look at right or wrong, they only look at where they stand.

Only look at... where they stand? Lin Qingxue looked up, her eyes teary, half-understanding.

Right.

The old man nodded with a smile.

This world is just like this. With different standpoints, the angle of viewing the same matter is different. It's like a chicken talking to a duck. Therefore, we cultivators only seek to have a clear conscience, and do not seek the approval of others.

A clear conscience? Lin Qingxue became even more confused.

But the depression in her heart miraculously lessened a lot.

Seeing her calm down, the old man slowly sat down and brought up what had just happened. Nannan, what did you mean by that heartless man you just mentioned?

Is it that boy in the recording stone? Grandpa saw the sword in his hand, and it seems to be the male sword from your pair of Mandarin Duck Swords, right?

Lin Qingxue's face instantly turned bright red.

I, I just lent it to him! He said he would return it!

Grandpa isn't talking about that.

The old man smiled and shook his head. The sword is yours. It's fine no matter who you give it to. Even if you set it off like fireworks, Grandpa wouldn't say a word.

Grandpa just wanted to ask...

The old man smiled teasingly. Is Grandpa going to be able to hold a great-grandson soon?

Grandpa!!!

Hearing this, Lin Qingxue hammered him in embarrassment and annoyance, I would never like that heartless man!

Oh?

Hearing this, the old man became even more interested.

Why? That's the boy you were willing to give the Mandarin Duck Sword to, which implies entrusting him with your life. Does our Nannan not like him?

I don't like him at all!

Lin Qingxue shouted, lacking some confidence.

Alright, alright, our Nannan doesn't like him, hearing this, the old man didn't argue with her.

Lin Heming could tell.

His granddaughter actually liked that young man very much, otherwise she wouldn't have fallen out with her senior sisters. It was just that this child always had a knot in her heart.

So the old man didn't say any more on that, but changed the subject.

Then can Nannan tell Grandpa why Nannan doesn't like that young man? Did he do something wrong and make Nannan angry?

Speaking of this, Lin Qingxue immediately became energized.

Him? I wouldn't dare be angry at him!

He's just a bit thick-skinned, a bit shameless, and a bit brazen, that's all.

What does that have to do with this young lady?

He merely beat me unconscious, forced me to go back and act as his sparring partner, tricked me with word games, forced me to give him my spirit stones for his cultivation, and didn't even say thank you. He swindled my dowry and set it off like fireworks, then didn't say he liked me or confess to me. When I left, he showed no reluctance and didn't ask me to stay. Abandoning his wife and child is one thing, but he even gave me a storage ring and a recording stone. The storage ring had a death mark from the Yunxiao Sect, and the recording stone contained footage of me trying to kill him back then, threatening me not to cause him trouble!

What do I have to be angry about?

I'm not angry at all!

Lin Qingxue counted them off on her fingers one by one. The more she spoke, the angrier she got. Her eyes turned red, and her cheeks puffed out like a pufferfish, yet she stubbornly insisted she wasn't angry.

The old man was dumbfounded, then smiled and shook his head.

Nannan, these aren't the real reasons, right? Grandpa knows you aren't such a petty person.

Grandpa... Lin Qingxue froze.

Of course, these weren't the real reasons.

The real reason was that the heartless man caused the destruction of the Qingxuan Sect and the tragic death of her eldest senior brother.

But how could she tell her grandpa these things?

Could she say that she was reborn?

Grandpa would think her brain was broken, wouldn't he?

After struggling for a long time, Lin Qingxue finally thought of an excuse. She took a deep breath, lowered her head slightly, and said somewhat mysteriously, Actually... I had a dream!

A dream? The old man's eyebrows twitched.

Cultivators didn't often dream. Dreams often represented some kind of omen... or some kind of hint.

Tell me about it.

Then I'll tell you. Lin Qingxue cleared her throat and said mysteriously, In the dream, that heartless man deceived my heart and my body, and I brought him to join the Qingxuan Sect. At first, he was very honest and well-behaved, but later he started flirting with women everywhere and causing trouble.

In the end, he actually provoked the demonic path!

He caused the demonic path to invade the Qingxuan Sect in a massive attack. Eldest Senior Brother and everyone fought desperately to resist, but in the end, they couldn't hold on. And that heartless man... he actually ran away!

In the end, he became very, very powerful. His power and connections reached their peak, and he became the co-lord of the world, but he ascended to the upper realm alone, leaving me all by myself in this world...

After saying this, Lin Qingxue carefully looked at the old man's expression.

However, it was different from what she had imagined.

After hearing this, the old man was stunned at first, then slapped his thigh and laughed heartily, Good! Great!

It's wonderful that the Qingxuan Sect was destroyed!
