Chapter 244 The Shadow's Past
Chapter 244 The Shadow's Past
In any case, Xiao Han inherited the memory and thinking of the tragic man. To be precise, Xiao Han is just a mixture of the Chinese Xiao Han and the tragic man now, and his feelings for the Xiao family can be seen from this.
He never regarded himself as an outsider from another world, and he really regarded the Xiao family as his home. Now, when he saw the old man who had taken care of him since childhood, for some reason, his whole body was filled with a feeling of emotion and inexplicable emotion.
Before Xiao Ling could come to him, Xiao Han had already kneeled down to the ground at this moment. For Xiao Han, if Xiao Ling had not been, he would not have been today. Now he was back, but he saw that his grandfather's originally dark hair had become pale due to the matter of the Soul-Splitting Abyss and his own departure. No one who is a grandson would feel comfortable.
"Grandpa! Grandpa has caused you trouble. Everything before was caused by grandson's unfilial piety." A crystal tears fell on the ground. Xiao Han was really feeling guilty at this moment, especially when he saw Xiao Ling's head full of white hair and still caring about him, before he knew it, the tears had already filled his eyes. The man didn't cry easily, but it was not sad.
At this moment, Xiao Han instantly felt that the poem was really fucking correct. Whether it was himself back then or now, Xiao Han never thought that he would cry because of something, but now, he really felt this emotion. Even if he tried his best to restrain himself at this time, the tears still couldn't stop flowing down. Maybe this is because blood is thicker than water?
"Good kid, good kid, it's the happiest thing for grandpa to come back." At this time, Xiao Ling also looked at Xiao Han with tears in his eyes. Before he knew it, the tears began to roll in his eyes.
Who is Xiao Ling? Xiao Ling is the real God of Lanyang Emperor. When he led his army to sweep around, even his father died in battle, he did not shed a tear. But at this moment, seeing his grandson kneeling in front of him intact, Xiao Ling finally realized that his grandson was his biggest weakness.
He had never prayed for God in his life, but until Xiao Han disappeared in the southeast region, he prayed to God in his heart more than once, letting him leave his grandson, even if he paid any price. Now, his prayer has finally been confirmed. Even when Xiao Yi came back from the messaging, he could not believe it.
But now that I saw my grandson with my own eyes, I couldn't stop it. Even Xiao Ling himself didn't know why he valued this kind of family affection. Maybe it was because Xiao Han had been weak and sick since childhood and was loved by others every time?
He quickly helped Xiao Han up. Xiao Ling was already extremely excited at this time. Since Xiao Han was born, he and this grandson have never been separated for more than a month. This time, Xiao Han was in danger and even wandered outside for a year. He, a grandfather, has been worried many times. Now that Xiao Han is back, it can be said that Xiao Ling's hanging heart has finally let go.
After a long period of time of sorting out his emotions, Xiao Han and Xiao Ling recovered a little bit of normalcy. Sitting in this side hall, the grandfather and grandson were talking about something. After a long time, Xiao Han said slowly: "Huh? Where is the master?" Xiao Han's so-called master is of course a shadow. In this world, Xiao Han doesn't admire many people, but this shadow is the master he admires the most. Even if he can fight with the powerful king now, even if he really fights, even the shadow may not be his opponent, but this respect and admiration have never been reduced.
Of course, the four grandparents and grandsons knew who Xiao Han was talking about, and frowned quietly. Although Shadow has been following Xiao Ling for many years and even not even leaving, compared to Xiao Yi and Xiao Zhen, this Shadow Grandpa can only be seen occasionally, and Shadow Grandpa is not so enthusiastic about them. At most, it is only caring for the elders and does not regard himself as an outsider at all.
"He was called to protect His Majesty. After all, to be more concerned, His Majesty needs more protection here. If something happens to His Majesty, then I will be really sorry for the elder brother who is in the Nine Springs." Knowing that Xiao Han was eager to see his master, Xiao Ling smiled slightly at this time and said.
"Grandpa! When we asked about Grandpa Shadow, you kept silent and even fought against us. Who is this Grandpa Shadow, why is it exactly the same as you, and has even the cultivation level that you have even developed than Grandpa?" To be honest, this question has been held in Xiao Zhen and Xiao Yi's mind for a long time. They were different from Xiao Han back then. They knew the existence of Shadow, but if they wanted to further explore, they were all blocked by Xiao Ling. It can be foreseeable that in this Lanyang Empire, Xiao Ling was the only one who knew the past of Shadow.
They all knew that this was a taboo for grandfather. If it weren't for the fact that the situation was really tense and even the urgent time had come, Xiao Zhen would never have asked. At this time, the more strength, the more chance of winning. After all, no one knew the strength of Grandpa Shadow, and only knew that his cultivation was stronger than that of the old man.
"Haha! I thought it would be difficult to mention the things that happened back then in my life, but I didn't expect that you will ask again now. In fact, even if I were me, I didn't know Shadow's strength and identity, I only knew that he called himself Shadow." Xiao Ling smiled bitterly. He knew very well why Xiao Zhen asked Shadow's past at this time, because the Xiao family now lacked security.
"What?" The three little guys suddenly widened their eyes. Even grandpa himself didn't know about this matter. So is there really anyone in this world who knows the identity of shadow? I'm afraid only Grandpa Shadow himself knows it.
"I was a strong man in the Lanyang Empire back then. Because of the great power of the Xiao family, I encountered many assassinations and disputes in the martial arts world. After another battle, I found a shadow on the beach in the southeast." Closed my eyes, Xiao Ling recalled the past at this time.
"At that time, the shadow was seriously injured or even dying. This was a common thing in the world. After all, there were many such revenge killings everywhere every day, and I didn't plan to save him. But when I saw the face exactly like me, I was shocked and thought that since both sides were so destined, it would be better to save him once, which would be considered a good thing. So I saved the shadow."
"What later?" The three little guys seemed to be listening to a story, and they all looked at Xiao Ling curiously. Indeed, this matter was too dramatic. They were both chased and injured, and they looked exactly the same. Even the silly hearted person believed that they would have a silhouette at this time.
Xiao Ling smiled bitterly. It was obvious that even he did not expect Shadow's reaction: "Later I brought it back to the Xiao family. Along the way, Shadow always looked cold and didn't say a word, until the injury healed, he floated away without even a word."
The three of them were also full of doubts at this time, but they were not too surprised at this time. After all, they all knew the character of the shadow grandfather. Unless it was Xiao Ling himself or his own relatives and relatives of Xiao Ling, almost no one in the Xiao family could see the shadow. Even if they saw it, the shadow would never say a word, just like a mute.
"This has been three years. At that time, I was just as young as a young man. When I almost forgot about Shadow's affairs, he came back. After coming back, he said two words, but he remained silent. Even now, I only know him. As for what strength and identity he has, I still don't know about these things." Xiao Ling smiled bitterly. Even if he was talking about these things for the first time, it was the first time that he had. Even the direct descendants of the Xiao family knew about Shadow's affairs. In order to help Shadow Shadow hide, he was unwilling to tell his own grandson.
Now that their grandchildren have grown up, they know what to say and what not to say. Only then did Xiao Ling tell the secret that the shadow was hidden in his heart for more than 70 years, the shadow, that mysterious person, even at this moment, Xiao Ling admitted that he could not see through him.
"Two words? What is it?" Xiao Yi still didn't understand. Since the shadow has returned and has been in the Lanyang Empire for seventy years, why did he disappear for three years? What did he do in those three years? Who is his true identity? Why did he stay in the Xiao family for more than seventy years? The three brothers of the Xiao family didn't know the secrets of all these. Not only did they not know them, but even Mr. Xiao Ling, he didn't know very well.
"He called me 'Big Brother'." Xiao Ling said two words at this time, but his eyes were filled with the brotherhood. He knew very well that Shadow could choose not to come, and even pretended that this thing had not happened, but he came back resolutely and stayed in the Xiao family for more than 70 years. Among them, the Xiao family has experienced countless crises, and many of them were resolved by Shadow.
He has never asked for rewards, and he has not even taken the initiative to ask for power. There is only one possibility for Shadow to do this, that is, he has really regarded Xiao Ling as his elder brother, and is also ready to repay his kindness for the rest of his life.
"Brother!" When Xiao Han thought of this word, his eyes moved. He knew very well the content of these two words. People like his master, it can be said that as long as he shouted this word, it means that he truly recognized Xiao Ling.
"How strong is that Shadow Grandpa's strength?" Finally, Xiao Zhen, who didn't want to ask, finally asked this question. Although he knew very well that even his grandfather would find it difficult to explain it clearly, he still held a glimmer of hope.
