The old man suddenly fell silent, and the smile in his eyes slowly disappeared. He looked at Zhu Zhu and asked, "Are you looking for your grandfather?" "Yes, he... how is he liked grandfather?" Zhu Zhu was excited. He had never seen him again since Qilin Town Inn was separated. The urgency was not something that others could imagine. At this time, the old man's words were undoubtedly the biggest surprise. Maybe he knew where grandfather was. But when he saw the old man's heavy face, he suddenly felt a bad feeling. The scene of old man Zhu's serious injury in Qilin Town Inn that day was lingering in his mind. He had also thought that grandfather would encounter misfortune, but he had always deliberately avoided and dared not face it. At this time, he looked at Duan Yuhuang with expectations, hoping that he would say something exciting.

"I originally thought to tell you about this news after a while, but... since you ask now, I have to tell you," Duan Yuhuang paused, his face became a little heavy, and then he said: "He is dead! He was buried in a distant place. If you want to worship him, I can accompany you."

Before Duan Yuhuang could finish his words, Zhu Zhu's body began to tremble, and tears rolled like a collapsed river, soaking its robe. He endured the grief and did not cry, but asked hoarsely: "Can you tell me who killed him?"

Duan Yuhuang sighed and said heavily: "So what can I do if I tell you? With your strength, you can't avenge you, and you will die in vain if you go." With a plop, Zhu Zhu suddenly knelt down on the ground and said to Duan Yuhuang: "Please accept me. I know you are a very powerful person. As long as you are willing to teach me, I will be able to avenge you for ten years at most!" He looked like a wounded beast, full of violent aura in his weakness.

Seeing the boy's appearance, his thoughts suddenly jumped to another node. Twenty years ago, a boy knelt in front of him and said to him in a voice full of sharpness: "Give me ten years, I can be like you." What touched him was not the boy's bold words, but the firmness and resoluteness flashing in his clear and transparent eyes. It was later confirmed that what the boy had was not smart talent, but the spirit of perseverance. He had been working hard, and he was also making progress slowly... But now, the boy is no longer there. And the only sentence he left behind was: "Protect...Protect him..." At that time, he pointed at the boy in front of him with his hands weakly.

Duan Liang's death made the old man decadent for a while. When Zhu Zhu was unconscious, he also confirmed some things. In addition to the cause of Duan Liang's death, there was also the life experience of the boy. What is strange is that the life experience of the boy is like a piece of white paper. Apart from his grandfather, he seemed to have no parents, and this was also confirmed in the boy's dreams. Another month ago, Zhu Zhu and his grandfather came to Qilin Town and lived in that inconspicuous inn. Apart from doing two or three simple businesses, there seemed to be nothing. Perhaps because he was too seriously injured before, the boy seemed to have forgotten what he was when he was a child, and he didn't know where his home was, and he couldn't tell where he had been. The only memory was Qilin Town. It was almost as good as what they learned.

The old man also quietly investigated the boy's body. There were no star patterns in his body, nor traces of vitality, but he had a mysterious and powerful force that he had not figured out until now. He had been wondering if this was because Duan Liang sent him here. In addition, the boy was an ordinary person.

"I can accept you. But it's not in the name of the disciple, but in the disciple. Remember, you are Duan Liang's apprentice and Shan'er." Duan Yuhuang's voice was dark and slow, as if he had been thinking for a long time. He was very conflicted. Duan Liang saved the young man, but the young man's grandfather had a unique sword injury left by him. It can be said that the young man's death was unrelated to Duan Liang, and the whole thing became confusing. The hatred in the young man's eyes made him hesitate even more. Should he cultivate the young man with his own hands and hide the spark of hatred?

Zhu Zhu didn't know what painful psychological struggle the old man in front of him had experienced before making this difficult choice. He looked at the old man with joy. The grief of losing his grandfather was still there, but the joy of worshiping in the Bichan Palace still diluted the grief a little. The young man responded "Yes" and then began to kowtow. At this time, his mood was heavy and sincere. With every time he knocked down on the crystal floor, there was a little more red in front of him. The little girl kowtowed with a smile, and said, "The disciple Duan Shan kowtowed to the master and grandfather."

Duan Yuhuang raised his hand, and Zhu Zhu and the little girl stood up involuntarily. The little girl suddenly asked, "Grandpa, aren't you going to worship tea? Why don't we?" The old man suddenly showed a deep look in his eyes. He touched the little girl's head kindly and said, "Tea is for your father. It's not too late to respect him when he comes back from a distance." The little girl asked curiously: "Where is the distance?" The old man was confused and said, "That's a faraway place, maybe it will take a long time to come back." "How long is that?" The little girl asked again. "It's a long time!" The old man's eyes were already rolling, and tears immediately turned into a faint mist before the tears gathered at the corners of his eyes.

"But, Dad said that he would give me a gift on his birthday. Can he come back?" The little girl seemed to have many questions, her eyes blinked, innocent and pure, as if a gem that had just been unearthed. "Maybe! Grandpa will give you a gift, okay?" "Okay! OK!" The little girl clapped her hands and said happily. She forgot to ask her father in a blink of an eye. She held Duan Yuhuang's hand and asked, "What gift do grandpa want me to give me?" Duan Yuhuang squatted down, his eyes maintained the same height as the little girl, pinched her little nose, and said, "That depends on what you like!"

The little girl frowned, and then said happily, "I like grandpa, dad is with me." She suddenly saw Zhu Zhu and added, "And Brother Zhu." Zhu Zhu didn't know why this matter was involved, so she was stunned and said, "Then I'll give you a gift too!" The little girl almost jumped and said, "That's great!" She turned around excitedly, suddenly remembered something, pulled Zhu Zhu's hand, and said, "Brother Zhu, let's go play!" Without any explanation, he pulled Zhu Zhu out and ran out.

Zhu Zhu turned around and looked at Duan Yuhuang. The old man was wavering to him, obviously agreeing to them leave.

The two of them walked out of Bichan Palace in a row but did not go up the Baishi Bridge. Instead, they walked around Bichan Palace for a half-circle, and then came to a downward stone staircase leading to the lake. When they walked to the waterside, the little girl took out a small jade pendant from her arms, like a piccolo. She held the jade pendant in her mouth and blew it up, and two bags bulging on her cheeks, as if she was very forceful. Strangely, the jade pendant did not make any sound.

After about a few breaths, the little girl stopped blowing, but put the jade pendant back in her arms, and her eyes looked at the water surface as if something was about to come out. Zhu Zhu also watched for a while, but there was no movement, which made her feel very boring. The little girl was still persistent, her eyes were still looking at it.

Just as Zhu Zhu was asking the little girl to go back with a sequel, a water column suddenly splashed like a spring, and it became higher and higher. When the water column reached more than ten meters, water splashed everywhere, revealing a huge head from the water. It was a monster. Zhu Zhu pulled the little girl and wanted to escape, but heard the little girl say, "Xiaobai, are you okay?" The huge monster actually nodded. Zhu Zhu, who was panicked, found that the giant beast in the water was exactly the same as the sea beast at the gate where Duan Yuhuang was, and immediately became a little stunned.
