Chapter 1418: Chapter 1418: Unacceptable?

"Every time Old Master Chen loses his temper with me, I feel like he’s not himself, with that man-eating look and the words he blurts out. They’re not like him, but rather, they resemble..."

Suddenly, as if she had stumbled upon some incredible secret, her eyes widened as she looked at Lin Caisang and Sui Zimo.

"Like... Grand Old Master Chen!"

Yes, it was just like the way Grand Old Master Chen scolded his servants.

"It looks like our suspicions were correct," Lin Caisang said, looking at Sui Zimo, who was also looking at her.

If their suspicions were correct, then everything that had happened to the Chen Family was orchestrated by Grand Old Master Chen.

"But I still don’t understand, even if he was behind it all, why send Madam Chen to prison only to bail her out later, and then go on to incinerate Old Master Chen’s body?"

She was still unable to explain this point.

"Perhaps, there was some secret on Old Master Chen’s body, something that forced him to burn the corpse in the middle of the night," Sui Zimo said.

"That..."

Madam Chen looked timidly at Lin Caisang, unable to resist voicing the doubt in her heart.

"Miss Lin, may I wonder if Grand Old Master Chen is really a member of the Chen Family?"

If Old Master Chen was a member of the Chen Family, how could he possibly kill his own grandson? That’s his own bloodline; could he really do such a thing?

At these words, Lin Caisang chuckled softly.

"Madam, you may not understand the people of the Ghost Clan very well," Ling’er heard her uncertainty and spoke up to clarify.

"To the people of the Ghost Clan, everyone but themselves is dispensable, including their own children. As for descendants from the next generation, they matter even less and are not taken to heart.

The lifespan of the Ghost Clan is also much longer than that of the Human Clan. They don’t believe that having offspring is a continuation of legacy; rather, they see it as a burden, something undesirable."

That was the way of the Ghost Clan: for offspring who were useless, they’d simply cast them aside.

Isn’t she a living example? If it weren’t for the Madam’s rescue, she wouldn’t even know where she might’ve died by now.

So among the Ghost Clan, the ability to survive is crucial, and everyone must learn how to fend for themselves.

"Undesirable?"

Lin Caisang snorted lightly.

"Whether this Grand Old Master Chen really bears the Chen surname is still up for question!"

If Grand Old Master Chen truly was a member of the Chen Family, then why is there not a trace of ghostly power in his son and grandson?

"Do you mean that Grand Old Master Chen isn’t really a Chen, that he’s just taken the place of the real Grand Old Master Chen and has been living with the Chen Family, while the real one was..." Zimo couldn’t bear to continue, inhaling sharply.

If that were true... would Grand Old Madam Chen feel so ashamed that she’d smash her head into a pillar?

"Whether it is true or not can be tested," Sui Zimo said, his gaze fixed on Lin Caisang.

Lin Caisang raised her eyebrows, looking at Sui Zimo.

"When do we act?" she asked.

"There’s no time like the present, let’s do it now."

Sui Zimo stood up, as he had no intention of waiting any longer.

If they had uncovered something, then the best course of action was to uproot this so-called Grand Old Master Chen, no matter what he might be.

"Good, let’s do it now."

Lin Caisang also stood up, taking her wind spirit whip into her hand.
