The attendants fought desperately to protect their lord, but ultimately their strength lagged behind those of the Evil Path!
After all, people from the Evil Path are generally quite powerful!
Before long, all the attendants were dead!
Li Yuannan was deeply grieved at the time. Although he was severely injured, he still fought desperately against those people, as it was the only path he could take!
But how could one person stand against them?
Just when he thought he was doomed, suddenly someone appeared, holding a long sword!
In just a few breaths of time, that person killed all the members of the Red Blood Sect, as if slaughtering chickens and ducks!
Afterward, that person brought Li Yuannan back, and his medical skills were so miraculous that Li Yuannan’s severe injuries healed in just ten days under his treatment!
Moreover, during this time, that person also improved some of the Lishan Sect’s cultivation techniques, enhancing their power by an immeasurable amount!
As a result, the Lishan Sect leapt from the bottom of the top-tier powers to the middle of the top-tier powers!
Li Yuannan always wanted to repay such a great favor, but the person left after he had healed!
Moreover, before leaving, he instructed not to look for him or reveal his existence!
So over these many years, this has always been a regret in Li Yuannan’s heart!
But unexpectedly, today, his disciple has come here!
How could he not be excited?!
Su Chen, after listening, was slightly shocked and thought to himself:
That old ghost is truly extraordinary, to be honest, he has never been clear about his old ghost master’s strength!
Without a doubt, he had always underestimated the power of that old ghost master!
Back when he was in the Qi Refinement Realm, he thought he was in the Meridian Expansion Realm; when he was in the Meridian Expansion Realm, he assumed he was in the Kaiyuan Realm!
Now it seems, it’s hard to say what level his strength is at!
He couldn’t help but think back to every battle and asking him how strong he was, always being told, just a bit stronger than you!
At this moment, Su Chen couldn’t help but secretly complain, is that merely a bit stronger?
"That old ghost, still keeping secrets!"
Su Chen thought rather annoyedly.
But today, it’s truly thanks to him; if it weren’t for the good karma he sowed back then, today’s matter would have been difficult to resolve!
Even if he had enough strength, it wouldn’t have been easy to solve!
"For this reason, I’ll forgive you, old ghost!"
Su Chen thought to himself.
"Old man, about your beloved daughter’s matter?"
After asking about his old ghost master, Su Chen inquired about this matter.
His earlier curiosity was just that; his main or sole purpose in coming today was for this matter!
"My granddaughter..., is she well?"
At this moment, Li Yuannan looked at Su Chen and asked, feeling a bit nervous and expectant.
Seeing him in this state, Su Chen couldn’t help but sigh inwardly, this old man really takes his pride so seriously!
He actually thought that back then, the old ghost shouldn’t have treated his physical injuries, but rather his stubborn, single-minded nature!
"Her name is Pei Man, she is very well, very beautiful, and very wise, a rare good girl!"
"But over the years, she has always been worried about her parents; it’s always been her biggest concern!" Thıs content belongs to noᴠelfire.net
Hearing Su Chen’s words, Li Yuannan remained silent for a long time before sighing and saying:
"Sir Li, so many years have passed, it’s time to let it go."
Sir Li finally nodded.
After saying this, the weight in his heart seemed to lighten, and he appeared a bit relieved.
To be honest, the one he loved most dearly is his daughter, even personally choosing and selecting a suitable husband for her!
The deeper the love, the deeper the resentment!
When he learned that his daughter had settled privately with another man, especially in the secular world, and even had a child, one can imagine his feelings!
Especially for someone as stubborn as him, it was simply unimaginable!
For the first ten years, he remained resentful about this, even scolding Li Ting when he pleaded on their behalf!
Others were even more silent and fearful!
Over a dozen years passed, and his heart gradually softened!
No matter what, she was his daughter, and there was a granddaughter out there too!
But there was always a hurdle in his heart he couldn’t get over!
At times, having someone to advise would be good, but because of past matters, everyone dared not!
And because of the past, even if they spoke, they believed it was useless other than receiving harsh scoldings!
Sometimes, life is just that tricky!
As for that granddaughter, thinking about it made his mind uneasy, preferring out of sight, out of mind!
His stubborn nature played a part in this, but there was also an element of avoidance, not knowing how to face it!
For example, whether his daughter and that man, and his granddaughter, would resent him for being so heartless?
Nevertheless, he knew this issue needed resolution, and over the past few years, he’d considered just giving them their freedom!
As one grows older, many things become less inflexible!
However, due to his nature and various concerns, he never made the final decision!
He indeed regretted it, thinking if he had gone along with it back then and agreed, would the family be happy now?
If he released them after only a few years, would things have been much better?
He knew that given his character at the time, he’d probably do the same all over again!
And such regret, with his nature, he would never admit!
Today, Su Chen bringing up this matter made him so angry was mainly that reason; he thought Su Chen was representing Qin Nishang and Dugu Mingyue, trying to pressure him on behalf of those two powers!
To this old man, if he figured things out on his own, fine, but if pressured to release them, that’s absolutely impossible!
Now, he agreed to Su Chen to release them, mainly for several reasons.
Firstly, Su Chen was not trying to use power to pressure, it was his misunderstanding; secondly, he had already had the intention in his heart!
Of course, another undeniable reason is Su Chen’s identity as the disciple of that benefactor!
It could be said that person, whose name he does not yet know, had given the entire Lishan Sect a tremendous favor!
If it were someone else, it might not have had the same effect!
At the moment of making this decision, which had troubled him for so many years, he suddenly felt relaxed!
He thought, even though his nature would never have let the matter slide initially, it did drag on for too long!
At least it should have been a decision made a decade ago!
Many times, many things are really a matter of a single thought!
But if the thought isn’t turned, isn’t released, it can torment one for a lifetime!
