well--

The old man sweeping the floor sighed softly, "It's gone, nothing is gone, not the descendants or anything like that... It's better to just sweep the floor here and feel more comfortable."

Ji Ren was a little at a loss, "This..."

He felt that no matter what he said was wrong, he might as well keep his mouth shut.

The old man sweeping the floor lamented forlornly and sat on the ground, "Back then, I had hugged my grandchildren, but when I went to see them again after a while, others told me that they were all dead. I

I couldn't accept it for a moment, so I ran here and swept it away... for three hundred years."

Ji Ren's eyes widened and he said in shock: "You, you have been here... scanning for three hundred years?!"

The old man sweeping the floor hummed, "Yes, I sweep day and night, non-stop. I originally wanted to sweep like this until I die."

He paused and laughed at himself: "I didn't expect that when I saw you again, I realized that I was wrong. My former wife and children also wanted me to accompany them, but I always used the excuse that I had changed.

Strength is the only condition to accompany them..."

Ji Ren listened to these words in disbelief, "You, you..."

The old man sweeping the floor scratched his head regretfully, "No, no, I'm just afraid of death. I really hate myself now. What's the point of living for a long time? I'm really useless!"

Ji Ren rubbed his face in confusion and said: "Old man, you should be more open-minded. The past is in the past. No matter how much you regret it now, it is in the past."

well…………

The old man sweeping the floor let out a long sigh, filled with unspeakable sadness, "That's all, that's all, being alone is my fault after all. I... admit it, I admit it!"

Ji Ren looked at Yu and couldn't bear it, and hesitated: "How about... when my child is born, I will ask Sister Yu to hug you as if it were your own grandson, and then wait until he is older.

I will come here more often to see you, and you will have a grandson who will not have to live in such a hopeless life."

The old man sweeping the floor looked at Ji Ren blankly, and stood up tremblingly on the broom, "Are you telling the truth? Are you really willing to let your child do this?"

Ji Ren nodded and said, "Well, as long as I can come here, I will definitely bring him over to see you. Whether he sweeps the floor with you or chats with you, it's up to you."

The old man sweeping the floor nodded excitedly and wiped the tears from his eyes, "Thank you, I know I'm being abrupt, but I don't have a few years left to live. You allowed me to have something to rely on before I die. Thinking about it, I really don't know what to do."

How to thank you."

Ji Ren smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. The child has no biological grandfather, so I will give him some more grandfathers."

What he said was just stating a fact, but in the eyes of the old man, it was a major event that Ji Ren was extremely helpless and sentimental about.

The old man sweeping the floor was stunned for a moment, raised his hand and patted Ji Ren's shoulder, comforting him: "My child, you have worked hard. If you don't dislike it, I will give myself some face and support you, okay?"

Ji Ren was slightly startled, then shook his head and said, "There's nothing to dislike. It's just my business. I'd better figure it out myself."

The old man sweeping the floor nodded slightly and said: "Well, if you can use me in any way, just tell me. I have lived for this long after all, right?"

Ji Ren smiled and said: "Old man, you are yours and I am mine. You can do whatever you want. I can handle my own affairs."

The old man sweeping the floor snorted and said high-spirited: "You don't know how many people asked me to do things back then? I only took a look and knew that the line of people from here to outside the city gate was not finished yet."

Ji Ren couldn't keep up and nodded. The old man was happy and sad as he pleased. He cried and laughed as much as he wanted. It was pretty good.

"Yes, yes, you can just sweep the floor properly and wait until my child is born."

The old man sweeping the floor was stunned for a moment and said happily: "Yes, you are right, I have to get a gift for my grandson."

After that, he turned around and walked towards the wooden house.

Ji Ren frowned and said with a smile: "Just give me a random gift. It's too expensive and he can't afford it."

The old man sweeping the floor waved his hand, opened the wooden door without saying anything, went in and closed it with his backhand.

Ji Ren scratched his head in confusion, "Am I being too abrupt? Oh, forget it, let's see and talk about it later."

He turned around, pushed open the wooden door, and walked back to the round platform thoughtfully.

When they saw it on the round platform, they all felt something was wrong.

The old woman asked: "My child, what's wrong with you?"

Ji Ren raised his head and smiled, "It's okay, ancestor, do you have anything else to ask? Just rest here for a while without me."

Gongsun Yuling said distressedly: "Ancestor, you should let him rest. He has been struggling all the way here since he was ambushed by the demons."

The old woman was startled, then nodded and said: "Go ahead, no matter what happens, my ancestor will make the decision for you. Have a good rest."

Ji Ren smiled reluctantly and rubbed his face with some sadness, "Yeah." After saying that, he turned his back to them and sat cross-legged, quietly calming down and slowly letting go of his tense mind.

In their eyes, they could clearly see that his aura was changing rapidly.

Nangong Huanger clutched her clothes still feeling distressed, "Aren..."

The old woman patted her hand and whispered: "He's fine, he's just tired."

Gongsun Yuling sighed, "Coming this way is far more difficult than we thought. If he hadn't been strong enough, we would have died on the way."

The old woman said: "Gongsun girl, tell me what's going on."

Nangong Huanger nodded and said, "Yes, sister, we have been talking about the child just now, and you didn't say anything else to us."

Gongsun Yuling smiled and said sadly: "When he was at Gongsun's house, he was oppressed by his subordinates. After leaving Gongsun's house, he was constantly ambushed by others. Fortunately, he was strong and had no dangers along the way. Later,

With the help of the academy, it is not that troublesome. But God is not as good as man. We escaped the ambush from the Burning Sea Realm, but were ambushed by the demon disciples. It was this time that he could neither see nor hear.

He's gone, and I don't know when he will recover..." As she spoke, she couldn't help but shed tears. The process was too rough, and she felt too sad.

Nangong Huanger wiped away her tears with pity and said angrily: "Damn it, you bullied Aren like this, it's simply too much!"

The old woman said: "How many of these ambush forces are there?"

Gongsun Yuling shook his head and replied: "Too many. A member of the Gongsun family issued a reward order. It happened that he was the first place in the college competition. Suddenly, the limelight was the same, and the two big waves merged together.

People in the entire Zhongtian County... are almost eager to give it a try."

The old woman was surprised and said: "He still ranked first in the competition?!"

Nangong Huang'er said: "Yes, ancestor, Aren made the elixir for me because he got first place."

The old woman poked her head reproachfully, "Stupid girl, why didn't you tell me about this?"

Nangong Huanger shook her head and said, "Old Ancestor, you didn't even ask me about this little thing."

The old woman shook her head and said: "Many people don't know why the number one in the competition is killed. Some people think it's just a grudge between enemies. In fact, it's not. It's that every number one in the competition has the opportunity to become the leader of the college.

, that is, the dean.”

Nangong Huang'er was startled and said in confusion: "No, just a first placer will have a chance to become the dean!"

Gongsun Yuling also looked confused, "Why...I have never heard of this?"

The old woman said: "Of course you juniors don't know that the current dean of the college, Lan Mingchuan, was the first place in the competition two hundred years ago, and he won the position of dean with his wisdom. The reason why we know that is

Because every president of the college must go to the five major families."

Gongsun Yuling said softly:

"It turns out there is another reason. Could it be that they all want to kill my brother?"

Nangong Huanger asked curiously: "Ancestor, why are they coming?"

The old woman smiled and said: "Because, if you don't come, you won't be recognized by the five major families, especially the recognition of the ancestors of the Feixian Realm in the clan, which is extremely important."

Gongsun Yuling asked: "Ancestor, how did Uncle Lan get your approval back then?"

The old woman was startled and smiled helplessly: "It doesn't matter whether I agree or not. What's important is that my ancestor, who is more important than me, approves."

Nangong Huang'er was stunned, looked around and whispered: "Where is the ancestor? It can't be a ghost."

The old woman patted her head and said, "Don't talk nonsense. The ancestor didn't allow us to say it. Otherwise, the forbidden land would have been unclean long ago."

Nangong Huang'er pouted, squatted in front of Gongsun Yuling, and looked at her belly quietly.

When can I have a child? Is it better to have a boy or a girl...

The old woman said: "Girl, let's go out for a walk and let him stay here."

Nangong Huanger groaned and worried: "Ancestor, is it too dark for him to be here by himself?"

The old woman smiled and said: "Then don't you want to go out with me? Where is she?"

Nangong Huanger looked at Ji Ren, nodded and said, "Okay then, let's go for a walk with my sister."

Gongsun Yuling said: "Sister, please give way, I will get up right away."

Nangong Huanger hesitated and said, "Sister, are you not walking well?"

Gongsun Yuling said with a smile: "Sometimes after sitting for a long time, I want to go for a walk. It's okay."

Nangong Huang'er nodded, stood up and helped her up, "Then let's go."

The old woman waved funnyly, "Girl, come here and help me."

Nangong Huang'er said "Oh" and quickly went over to give him a hand.

One old man and two young children slowly walked towards the outside of the forbidden area.

After they went out, a dozen dim lights suddenly lit up and started to circle around Ji Ren.

Suddenly, these glimmers of light emitted different voices, old and young.
