Chapter 1421: Chapter 1421: There is this possibility

"Since she wants your inner elixir, why didn’t she just strike at you directly?" Lin Caisang looked at her and asked.

Why bother going through such a big loop, harming Old Master Chen and repeatedly beating Madam Chen to near death? Such actions are really quite baffling.

"How could just anyone take away the inner elixir of us from the Ghost Clan?"

Hearing Lin Caisang’s words, Ling’er couldn’t help but snort coldly, her disdain for someone like Grand Old Master Chen was evident.

"Unless we voluntarily give up our inner elixirs and use our Ghost Clan’s power to secure them, who could get their hands on our inner elixirs? If it were so easy, the Human Clan would have attacked the Ghost Clan long ago."

"So, the reason Grand Old Master Chen hasn’t made a move until now... Wait, isn’t Grand Old Master Chen from the Ghost Clan?" Midway through her sentence, Lin Caisang paused and then remembered something else.

"Ling’er, are you trying to deceive us again? Huh?"

She looked at Ling’er and countered.

"Don’t rush, we have all the time to listen to her make her story round." Sui Zimo raised his hand and gently touched her head, saying.

Ling’er: "..."

Where had she lied, and what need was there for her to make her story round?

"Not all those from the Ghost Clan possess inner elixirs. How could someone like Grand Old Master Chen have one?" She scoffed lightly, explaining.

That thief, Grand Old Master Chen, didn’t have an inner elixir, so he coveted others’, dying a thousand or ten thousand times wouldn’t be enough to atone for his sins!

"The inner elixir of the Ghost Clan can only be utilized by another from the Ghost Clan after it has settled in a Human Clan’s body and shed the original owner’s aura. That’s probably what Grand Old Master Chen was thinking.

He knew Madam Chen was greatly indebted to me, so he set his sights on her!"

"Then why did he strike at Old Master Chen?" Lin Caisang asked.

She didn’t understand this part—Old Master Chen was innocent and hadn’t offended Grand Old Master Chen, so why target him?

"Could it be that my husband discovered some secret of his?" Madam Chen suggested tentatively.

She felt it was very possible. Her husband wasn’t a fool; always seeing injuries on her and hearing the servants claim it was his doing, he must have had doubts, right?

"To be honest with Miss Lin and Young Master Ya, every time it came to the matter of beating me, my husband had no recollection of it. At first, he would even question who had hit me, but as time went on and he heard it more from the servants, he stopped asking."

Before, she had always thought her husband was going mad or had contracted some strange illness to be beating her.

Now it seems it was all Grand Old Master Chen’s doing.

"That’s possible."

Lin Caisang nodded, indicating Madam Chen’s reasoning made sense.

One doesn’t assault another for no reason, especially when that person is his grandson, at least in name.

"Brother Molian, shall we go meet this Grand Old Master Chen?"

She turned her head to look at Sui Zimo and asked.

"Meeting him could be good."

Sui Zimo nodded and stood up.

"I..."

Ling’er, seeing them stand up, also got to her feet, ready to go with them.

But then...

"Maybe you shouldn’t come with us and cause any more trouble." Lin Caisang turned around and glanced at her.
