Chapter 1227: Chapter 1227: The Truth Back Then

"Grandfather..."

Su Chengyu looked at Su Linyuan before him, who seemed as forlorn as a dying old man, with complex emotions in his heart.

The Su Linyuan before him bore no resemblance to the unmatched elegance of his prime, appearing nothing more than an old man on his last legs.

It was hard for Su Chengyu to imagine what Su Linyuan had gone through in the past to transform from such a spirited figure to his current state of utter despondency.

"Yu Er, I can tell you what happened back then, but you must promise me one thing,"

With a slight side glance, Su Linyuan said softly to Su Chengyu.

"What is that?"

"Whatever happened in the past and no matter who is implicated or casts a shadow, you must never do anything to disrupt the stability of Xia Country."

Su Chengyu’s brows furrowed, and he spoke with an instinctive agitation, "Grandfather, what exactly do you mean by that?"

"You have to promise me first."

Without answering, Su Linyuan simply spoke again to Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu clenched his fists and eventually could not hold back from voicing the speculation he had during the climb: "Grandfather, you don’t actually want me to take revenge for you?"

Indeed, Su Chengyu faced no small obstructions during his climb, and that massive cold current was genuinely holding back those below the Nascent Soul Realm from advancing further.

After that, swirling mists blocked Su Chengyu’s view, which then became unrelated to one’s power.

The clouds that obscured Su Chengyu’s direction clearly tested his determination and resolve.

If it weren’t for Su Chengyu’s deep concern about the past events, coupled with the assistance of "Forgetting the Self," he would likely still be trapped on the mountainside right now.

He had felt that something was amiss at the time, but now, hearing Su Linyuan’s words, he was even more convinced of his speculation.

Su Linyuan did not want him to delve too deeply into the past events.

However, upon hearing this remark, Su Linyuan merely shook his head, "If I said no, would that really stop you?"

The fact that Su Chengyu was here proved his determination, and having personally set the barriers to the ascent, he was well aware that Su Chengyu could not be dissuaded with just a few words.

"Then, Grandfather, you still..."

"What you want to do is your business, but if you want to know what happened from me, you must agree to this basic condition of mine. Otherwise, I will say nothing, just like with your father."

"Father?"

Su Chengyu was stunned for a moment, and then some understanding dawned on him.

He had wondered why his father had done nothing about such an incident that happened to his grandfather. It turned out that his father didn´t know what had happened either and possibly knew even less than him.

Considering Su Linyuan’s request, Su Chengyu took a deep breath and then replied, "Grandfather, what you are saying is that I just can´t do anything that would cause chaos in Xia Country, right?"

Su Linyuan nodded, "No matter what anyone has done, the common people are innocent. Nowadays, Xia Country is stable. I don’t want our Su family’s private affairs to lead to turmoil in the entire country."

"Alright, I promise, Grandfather. I assure you that nothing I do will cause instability in Xia Country."

Turning his head, Su Linyuan glanced at Su Chengyu and chuckled, "You are indeed much smarter than your father."

Su Chengyu blinked, "Does Grandfather see what I am planning to do?"

"You are my grandson. I have raised you from a young age; how could I not understand? Enough of that, your path is yours after all. As long as you can guarantee this, you are free to choose whom you wish to kill or seek revenge on."

Seeing Su Linyuan address the matter openly, Su Chengyu no longer concealed what he was thinking, "I will make whoever it is pay the necessary price, of course. Before acting, I will make sure to have a foolproof plan and will certainly not plunge Xia Country into chaos. After all... that should be what Grandfather cares about the most, right?"

Su Linyuan smiled, "It once was. But now... what I care about most is you."

Su Linyuan reached out instinctively, wanting to touch Su Chengyu’s now mature face, but his ethereal hand, being only Divine Sense, passed right through Su Chengyu’s cheek.

A hint of desolation appeared involuntarily in his gaze, but he quickly concealed it in front of Su Chengyu.

Su Chengyu watched everything, silently clenching his fist without a word.

"Hehe, Yu Er, you’ve pursued this matter all the way, now what do you think about it?"

"The Zhao Family."

Without hesitation, he spoke this answer directly.

Only the Zhao Family could have erased Su Linyuan’s name and deeds; and Su Linyuan’s stance just before almost confirmed to Su Chengyu that it was their doing.

However, upon hearing this answer, Su Linyuan shook his head, Su Chengyu frowned, puzzled, "It’s not the Zhao Family? Grandfather, you aren’t trying to deceive me, are you?"

Thinking of Su Linyuan’s words earlier, it was hard for Su Chengyu not to suspect that Su Linyuan might be deceitful, perhaps to prevent him from taking action against the Zhao Family.

Upon hearing this, Su Linyuan scoffed and gave him a glare, "Why would I deceive you!"

The familiar reprimand warmed Su Chengyu’s heart. Right, why would grandfather deceive him?

In all the world, Su Linyuan would never deceive him.

"It’s not that it’s not them, but that I don’t know."

"You don’t know?"

Su Chengyu inquired, not understanding.

"Yes, I don’t know. The person who attacked me was indeed someone by my side, but whether he acted on his own volition or followed the orders of the Zhao Family, I do not know, and I have never sought to find out."

"Who?"

Su Chengyu blinked and asked again.

"Yang Chengyin."

Boom.

This name exploded in Su Chengyu’s mind like thunder, he instinctively stepped back several paces, and with disbelief, he looked at Su Linyuan, "Isn’t he brothers with my father? Aren’t they called the Slaying Demons Duo, isn’t he your..."

"My disciple, my most proud and only disciple."

Su Linyuan admitted openly about his relationship with Yang Chengyin; though his face bore no expression, Su Chengyu could feel the desolation in the person before him.

Su Chengyu’s head spun, and he suddenly understood the words his grandfather had sighed the last time he saw him.

He said, the things that happened later are what he never managed to understand in all his years of study.

The books only teach people about benevolence and righteousness, understanding principles, and Yang Chengyin was treated like a son by his grandfather.

Simply putting himself in his grandfather’s shoes, if someone told him that Yu Yanshu wanted to kill him, Su Chengyu would absolutely not believe it, even in the moment of his death.

"Did grandfather ever ask him why he attacked you?"

"No, and I have made no inquiries."

"Why?"

Su Chengyu asked instinctively.

Su Linyuan glanced at Su Chengyu, smiling said, "Yu Er, you should understand that sometimes, not knowing is the greatest happiness. Once you clear away the surface mist, what you find may be the truth, but it could also be a reality that’s even harder for you to accept."

Su Chengyu was taken aback, then he completely understood.

Yang Chengyin’s betrayal was already a fact; no matter what the reason for attacking Su Linyuan, this wouldn’t change, and digging deeper...

Su Linyuan may have been not just attacked by his most trusted disciple but betrayed by the very thing he created with his own hands.

"Grandfather..."

"I am old now, and Xia Country no longer needs me as it did. What the truth really is no longer matters. Since someone wishes for me to step back from the front stage, I’ve just taken it as an opportunity to leave the Capital City."
