Chapter 1676: Chapter 1676 Entrusted by Grandmother

"But you needn’t worry, Second Aunt made a promise to your mother before she died that she would treat you as her own, and these years, she has treated cousin Tianyu... ah, spit, what cousin is that,"

She took a light sip and continued to look at Lin Chushui.

"That’s Luo Tianyu, who should now be called Lin Tianyu. After all, you have no real relation to him, but Second Aunt has still been very kind to Lin Tianyu. I believe she will treat you the same."

Upon hearing Luo Tianying’s words, Lin Chushui finally understood why his previous interactions with Luo Mianyi had been so strange.

Turns out, she was only his second aunt, not his biological mother.

No wonder.

"Cousin, you must not talk about this matter with anyone else, and don’t even mention it to your uncle, understand?"

Luo Tianying admonished him.

"Why not?"

Lin Chushui expressed his confusion.

If she was not his birth mother, what was the harm in speaking about it?

"The Yue Clan always maintained that no matter whose son you are, from now on you are Second Aunt’s son, and nobody can reveal this secret to you," explained Luo Tianying.

"Then why did you tell me?" Lin Chushui asked her.

"Because... I was entrusted by Grandmother to specially come to the Yue Family to look after you," said Luo Tianying.

"Grandmother thought, since you’re all her daughters’ children, she couldn’t show favor or bias. You are clearly your mother’s child but couldn’t recognize your mother, and she felt deeply distressed about it, so she had me tell you this secret.

Grandmother hopes you don’t forget that your mother’s name is Luo Qiuyi, not Luo Mianyi."

As a mother and grandmother, she also tried to be fair and impartial amongst her grandchildren.

"Although I don’t actually understand why grandmother wanted you to know this secret. To be honest, it would be better for you not to know."

She sighed and said to Lin Chushui.

After all, all these years, Second Aunt had been busy for the sake of your mother’s child, and had truly treated you as her own.

"I can understand my maternal grandmother’s good intentions," Lin Chushui said indifferently.

"Hmm?"

Luo Tianying looked at him, puzzled.

"You understand?"

What did he understand? Even she didn’t comprehend why Grandmother wanted Lin Chushui to know about his mother, Luo Qiuyi.

"My mother... she only had me as a child," Lin Chushui explained to Luo Tianying.

Upon hearing his words, Luo Tianying fell silent.

Yes, the aunt only had Lin Chushui as her child. Even though he was her own son, he couldn’t call out to her as ’mother’. Could the aunt rest in peace underground?

"Anyway, I’ve told you this secret following grandmother’s wishes, but within the Yue Clan, it’s best if you pretend you don’t know anything," she said to Lin Chushui.

As the saying goes, you must guard against others. Who knew which seemingly kind person from the Yue Clan might be plotting to harm him in secret?

This had precedence on the Illusion Continent, within the Yue Clan, as well.

"Okay."

Lin Chushui complied.

"Also, I heard that you can’t cultivate?" Luo Tianying looked at him and asked.

"Yes."

Lin Chushui did not deny it.

If it weren’t for the cultivation manual that Sister Sangsang had given him, following the common cultivation methods of the Illusion Continent, he would not have been able to cultivate.

At least for now, he could not cultivate.

"Well, that’s good, at least within the Yue Clan, this keeps you safe," Luo Tianying breathed a sigh of relief.
