“Who are you?”

“I was the one who sent my daughter to invite you, see you again on the fifteenth.” That red glow jerked and drilled into Ye Liuyun while shaking both his head and tail, only to pop back out in the form of a rolled-up painting scroll and disappeared in an instance after slicing through the sky.

Every happened so far that only Shen Lian heard the red glow’s voice.

Jian Shisan and Jian Shisi immediately rushed to Ye Liuyun’s side, took out a glistening, almost translucent moonlight colored pill and put it into Ye Liuyun’s mouth.

Ye Liuyun slowly regained consciousness. Just now, there was a tremor in his spirit that caused him to faint, he was also clear that it was not the medicine that made him regained consciousness.

“I’m fine, you two do not need to worry about me.”

After that, he touched his chest and his face changed. Jian Shisan hurriedly whispers a few sentences by his ear.

Only then Ye Liuyun became relieved and slowly, he said, “You played your cards well, Young Master Shen, I truly admire you.”

“Brother Ye, how about you write off Bai Yufei and the Green Bamboo Sect’s matters,” Shen Lian asked while smiling.

“What about the matters between you and I?”

“Your call.”

“When spring comes next year, I will be waiting for you at Mingjian Peak.” Ye Liuyun patted the handle by his side and the wheelchair trembled, flew from the ground and into the palanquin.

Jian Shisan and Jian Shisi picked up the palanquin and disappeared into the vast night.

Bai Yufei urgently said, “Young Master, Mingjian Peak is no different than a viper’s nest, how could you agree to that?”

“If it was up to me, I say we should not have allowed that arrogant bastard leave.” An Renjie huffed by the side.

“The springtime is just the right time and Mingjian Peak is well known throughout the world. I think the scenery would definitely be good during that time so no harm in going,” Shen Lian shook his head and smiled faintly.

Love and hatred were the so-called ‘Jianghu’. You kill me, I kill you, where does it end?

Shen Lian was not interested. If killing could solve the world’s problem, then there would not be so much agony.

“Uncle Wu, help me prepared some stuff, I’m going back to the Shen residence tomorrow.” Shen Lian leisurely turned back towards the inn, to be able to force back the young master of Mingjian Peak hardly brought excitement to him and he just went on as usual.

…

The sun rises every day, but when it came to Old Master Shen’s type of age, he was able to see that day’s rising sun but he may not able to see the sun setting.

He did not have any matters that were not to his liking these two years. To be more specific, that useless eldest son of his had given birth to a grandchild with Xu two months ago. When the child was born, they did not invite Shen Lian or voluntarily informed him of this news. Since he and Steward Wu was close, all the more no one told him.

However, even though the mansion was in this midst of jubilance, Old Master Shen did not show much happiness because of the addition of a grandchild.

It was not until today that when he heard that Shen Lian was returning that his face lit up with glee and laughter. He even ate an extra mouthful of rice.

As for the so-called newly born grandchild, he did not even give it a glimpse and certainly did not even carried the child after it was born.

Everyone in the Shen mansion was in a subtle mood.

The grandson of his daughter gets better treatment than the grandson from his son. This was somewhat one of the weirdest things in the world.

Even though Shen Lian’s surname was Shen, but this ‘Shen’ was not entirely the Shen of the Shen family.

Could it be that Old Master Shen’s mind was muddled?

Shen Lian was strolling with old man Shen in the gardens. The snow was thinly scattered and there was some white frost partly hidden within the wilting flowers and branches.

“You lazy bunch, why do you not know to get extra clothes for Young Master Lian. If my good grandson is sick, I will make your lives difficult.” Old man Shen was truly angered, Shen Lian was now only wearing a thin layer of unlined garment. Even he felt cold just by looking at it.

“Grandfather, I’m fine. I have attained some inner Qi, this slight chill has no effect on me,” Shen Lian grinned as he said.

“I actually forgot about that. You have also learned martial arts of Jianghu. Your body is in a much better shape than before. Every time An Wanli come and see me, he cannot stop complimenting you. He said that his son had grown a lot after interacting with you more. Not only that, that disdainful young fellow from the Xu family could not stop praising you. Even Suo Zhizhou, who just resigned, told me about your good conduct as he handed me his resignation.” As old man Shen said this, his face was full of smiles. Perhaps there was not one old person in this world who would be unhappy about this kind of matters.

His achievements were already unimaginable to the ordinary person, what would be more delightful than to have an excellent descendant.

“Perhaps they said so out of respect for you.”

“I have never heard them compliment Qingshi and Qingsan. Speaking of Qingshi, that is a worrisome fellow.” Old man Shen was slightly angered at the mention of Shen Lian’s eldest uncle, Shen Qingshi.

“Both the palm and the back of the hand are of the same flesh. Why do you need to work yourself up? If it is because of my newly born cousin brother, it is definitely not worth it.” Shen Lian face was gentle and his expression was calm.

“Shen Lian, you are too smart.” Old man Shen could not help but sigh.

He gestured with his hand so that his attendees would back off.

“How did you find out?”

“Grandfather, are you still unclear? My medical skills are not short of than any of the doctors in the State Capital of Qing. Eldest uncle and his wife are not able to give birth to children.” Shen Lian gave old man Shen a long look. Naturally, he came back to visit both Shen Qingshi and Shen Qingsan’s family and he met his newly born cousin brother. Even though Xu showed some timidity but she was also somewhat delighted.

However, Shen Lian did not show any expression and all he did was sized up the both of them.

With his abilities, he only needed to use ‘look’ from the four ways of diagnosis and he could find out the condition of both of their bodies. How could he not know whether his cousin brother was legitimate or not?

“Did you tell anyone anything?” Old man Shen asked suddenly.

“What do you think?”

Old man Shen replied, “I truly hoped that you did not mention to other people, at least it says as much that you hold the Shen family to you.”

He was a sharp old man, how could he not understand that Shen Lian did not really take this matter to heart. Chances are, the Shen family’s wealth and riches were not really worth mentioning at all. “How could the Jin Lin be confided in a small pond? It would transform into a dragon when it comes in contact with the wind and rain. To say the least, the State Capital of Qing is too small for you. It’s really rare of you to come see this old bag of bones before you leave.” Old man Shen was a little lost for words. He only left Shen Lian alone for two years and this fragile young seedling was not afraid of the storm anymore.

“It not the size of the State Capital of Qing but it’s just a matter of having different needs. What matters in life is to follow one’s heart and nothing else.” Since old man Shen had put it bluntly, there was no need to hide anymore.

Simultaneously, he lamented the old man’s sharpness, even though he had some lifetime experiences, he still had quite a difference when compared to the old man who was used to seeing turmoil.

“Forget it. I won’t stop you, what more is that I cannot stop you. I wish you will forever remember that you grew up in the Shen family.” Old man Shen was indeed old, he also had a more thorough understanding. His stubbornness lessened by a significant amount of his life was approaching the end.

Shen Lian gently hugged the old man. He wore very little but he was not cold, the heat from his body was still able to penetrate the thick layers of the old man.

Afterward, Shen Lian let go of him a little and with a smile on his face and said, “Grandfather, I will always remember the goodness you showed me. For now and forever, I will always be called Shen Lian.”

Shen Lian strolled out from the gardens without any regrets.
