Su Chen was overjoyed upon hearing this and quickly stood up with a smile:
"Thank you, old master, for making this possible!"
"Ah, it’s all due to my temperament, otherwise it wouldn’t have dragged on for so many years."
Li Yuannan sighed and said.
Su Chen couldn’t help but curl his lips upon hearing this, old master, you actually know your personality has issues, huh? You’re not entirely hopeless then!
"Old master, if I may be bold, your temperament does indeed need some change."
"You keep them locked up, making many suffer, and you might not be feeling great yourself!"
"Let them out, you have children and a beautiful granddaughter, enjoy the happiness of family life, why not?"
If others had said this, he might not have listened, but due to Su Chen’s different status, he did listen and nodded, saying:
"Actually, how could I not want to! It’s all because of my temperament!"
"Knowing the mistake isn’t enough, you have to change!"
Su Chen said with a smile.
"Change, change, I’ll definitely change from now on!"
Li Yuannan laughed heartily.
Of course, it’s only Su Chen that he would humbly accept this from!
Su Chen also knew that temperament is something formed over a long time, and changing it isn’t done overnight. As long as the old master is aware of the issue and willing to change slowly, it’s okay!
At least the old master’s intentions aren’t bad; if he were truly a bad person, would Pei Man and Pei Family have remained well all these years?
Especially Pei Chen, even at his most furious moment, the old master didn’t kill him!
It can only be said, the old master drew a circle around himself and kept everyone, including himself, inside for so many years!
"Old master, should we go now..."
Su Chen said, also wanting to see the current situation of Pei Man’s parents.
Upon hearing these words, a trace of conflicted emotion surfaced on Li Yuannan’s face, still somewhat afraid to face it!
After a moment, he suddenly nodded heavily, as if making a particularly significant decision!
"Old master Li, relax, you’re going to see your daughter and son-in-law, not some enemies."
Su Chen said with a smile.
"I’ve made a fool of myself."
Li Yuannan smiled awkwardly, still needing to face it, this matter cannot be avoided!
Then Li Yuannan led Su Chen out, walking toward the back of the building complex.
Su Chen watched the old man’s somewhat stiff steps from behind, at least not natural, and couldn’t help but reveal a bitter smile.
The Lishan Sect is quite large, and after some time walking, they arrived at a separate courtyard, distanced from the building complex!
The place is vast, estimated to be hundreds of square meters; after all, it’s on a mountain where space is abundant, unlike cities where land is precious!
When Su Chen arrived, he saw the courtyard wall full of green plants, and the scent of flowers wafted from within!
Su Chen was somewhat surprised, is this where people are held?
Approaching one of the doors to the courtyard, a few people were standing guard, and upon seeing Li Yuannan, they instantly became alert and shouted:
At this moment, Li Yuannan was full of complex emotions and waved them away.
When he entered with Su Chen, he saw a woman in a robe bending over to water the flowers, while beneath the eaves, a man was leisurely arranging a game of chess.
Though their clothes were simple, they were very clean!
"Alright, Jingwan, stop fiddling with your flowers and accompany me for a game first."
The man under the eaves called to the woman.
"Just a moment, I’m almost done watering."
The woman responded, then laughed:
"What, still unconvinced about losing two games yesterday?"
"That’s because I was going easy on you, okay?"
The man under the eaves curled his lips and said.
After a minute or two, the woman finished the last bit, then walked toward the eaves with laughter:
"Alright, today I’ll make sure you’re convinced, if you lose, you’re cooking dinner tonight!"
"Cooking dinner, huh, who’s afraid!"
The man said with a fearless attitude.
"Don’t just expect to get away with some noodles!"
The woman said with a sly smile. Content orıginally comes from NoveI-Fire.ɴet
The man laughed and said:
"Don’t worry, I guarantee you’ll be satisfied!"
Watching the scene unfold, Su Chen felt something special, but couldn’t quite pinpoint how special it was!
At this moment, he glanced at old master Li beside him, although he appeared normal, Su Chen felt tears welling in his eyes!
Just then, the woman suddenly sensed something and glanced toward the courtyard entrance.
With that glance, she was stunned, and tears began to flow uncontrollably!
"What’s wrong, Jingwan?"
The man, noticing the woman’s expression, quickly asked and walked over.
Seeing the woman staring dumbstruck at the entrance, he too looked over.
When he saw the old master, he was also stunned!
Because the old master hadn’t visited for many years!
Actually, the last time the old master came, he intended to release them, but for some unknown reason, he couldn’t overcome that obstacle in his heart!
The woman then walked over, followed by the man, coming to the old master’s presence!
The woman suddenly knelt on the ground, unable to stop the tears from flowing!
The man also knelt, initially wanting to say father-in-law but feared displeasing the old man, so he withheld.
Seeing them kneel before him, Li Yuannan muttered, wanting to say something but unsure of what.
"Old master, whatever you want to say, just say it, don’t hold back?"
Su Chen watched Li Yuannan’s current state, still tense, and said with a smile.
Upon hearing this, the couple couldn’t help but look at Su Chen, wondering who this young man was?
If he were from the Lishan Sect, he definitely wouldn’t dare speak to the old master that way!
Li Yuannan, hearing Su Chen’s words, finally mustered the courage and said:
"For so many years, it was my mistake!"
As soon as the words fell, the couple was stunned!
Unexpectedly, the first thing to come out of the old master’s mouth was "I was wrong!"
They knew the old master’s personality well, especially the woman, understanding that for those words to come from him was earth-shattering!
Even Su Chen was slightly surprised, not expecting the old master’s changes to be so profound, starting with admitting fault!
The turn was exceptionally abrupt!
Indeed, Li Yuannan was moved by the peaceful and harmonious scene he witnessed earlier.
Last time he came, he didn’t have such deep reflections!
But just now, he truly realized—he was wrong!
