Chapter 308: Chapter 328: Reversion? _1

The car arrived at Chu’s residence, and looking at the closed gate, Chu Jiaxue turned her head obediently and asked, "Do you know the password?"

Lin Chen said with a laugh, "No password. We didn’t say we were coming before, and I didn’t ask..."

Chu Jiaxue was slightly discouraged and said, "Well, let’s come back tomorrow."

Lin Chen chuckled, "What do you mean? Can’t we just climb over the wall? It’s our own house, and we have permission to enter even without the password, right?"

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes widened in surprise, "Really?"

"Why would I lie?"

Lin Chen parked the car under the fence, called Chu Jiaxue to get out, and then squatted down, "Come on, climb on my back."

Chu Jiaxue had been carried back by Lin Chen when she was drunk before, and even slept in his arms all night, so she didn’t feel shy about it. She reached out and wrapped her arms around Lin Chen’s neck.

Lin Chen’s toes lightly touched the ground, and his body silently leaped up like a nightingale, landing steadily on the fence. With another jump, they entered the villa.

"Which one is your bedroom?"

Standing in this familiar place, Chu Jiaxue’s expression was somewhat bewildered, and subconsciously pointed to a room on the second floor with a small balcony.

"That’s my room, and my parents’ room is there..."

Lin Chen laughed, "Hold on tight!"

Lin Chen jumped up, his toes lightly touching the corner of the wall, and his body steadily flew up, landing on the second-floor small balcony.

The door to the room from the small balcony was open. They entered the room, and Lin Chen found the head of the bed and turned on the light.

The room had been cleaned, but only the mattress was on the bed, without sheets, pillows, or quilts. The whole room seemed somewhat empty.

Chu Jiaxue whispered, "The layout hasn’t changed, but everything else has..."

Lin Chen comforted her, "It’s been so many years, changes are inevitable. The important thing is that we got it back, right?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded, "Let me show you around the house."

Lin Chen understood Chu Jiaxue’s feelings and smiled, "Alright, tell me about your childhood."

Chu Jiaxue nodded and took the initiative to hold Lin Chen’s hand, heading outside.

"This is Grandpa and Grandma’s room..."

"This is my father and mother’s room..."

"This is the dining room. We all used to sit here for dinner – I sat here, my grandpa sat here, and my parents sat here..."

As Lin Chen listened to Chu Jiaxue’s introduction, he suddenly thought of a question.

"Jia Xue, I’ve heard you talk about the Chu family, but what about your mother’s side of the family? When something happened to you, didn’t any of them show up?"

Chu Jiaxue explained, "Some of them came, but the Gu family has declined. They are now an ordinary family and couldn’t help my parents in their plight. Moreover, my maternal grandparents still blame the Chu family for causing their daughter’s misfortune. Since my grandpa took care of me, they didn’t come afterward. I just went back to see them occasionally..."

Lin Chen curiously asked, "You said the Gu family has declined, were they very powerful before?"

Chu Jiaxue’s eyes sparkled slightly, "I heard from my grandpa that the Gu family was originally a cultivator family, but their cultivators weren’t very strong, and their status in the Cultivation World wasn’t that high. But then, the Gu family produced a genius who might be considered my great-great-great-aunt. Anyway, they were very distant relatives, and the Gu family became greatly famous because of her..."

Lin Chen’s eyes widened, "Really powerful? How powerful?"

Chu Jiaxue thought for a moment, "It is said that she was an Innate Grandmaster?"

Lin Chen’s eyes lit up, "That’s really impressive! With an Innate Grandmaster backing you, who would dare to mess with your Gu family? Look at the Zhu family, they only have one Grandmaster, but they’re so arrogant, dominating Linhai. If there’s an Innate Grandmaster, not to mention Linhai, even on a national level, that would be a peak-level expert. Who wouldn’t give them face?"

Above a Grandmaster is a Great Grandmaster, but more accurately, a Great Grandmaster should be called an Acquired Grandmaster, and above that is the Innate Grandmaster.

Innate Grandmasters are considered top-notch combatants in the Cultivation World. With such an expert supporting them, even if the rest of the family were ordinary people incapable of cultivation, which cultivator family or sect would not give them face?

Chu Jiaxue laughed, "Yes, so when that Elderly person was alive, the Gu family was unassailable. But after she disappeared, the Gu family fell quickly. With no powerful cultivator in the following generations, they gradually returned to being ordinary people."

Lin Chen blinked, "Disappeared?"

Chu Jiaxue nodded, "I don’t know the specifics, and maybe my grandpa doesn’t know either, but it just seemed like she disappeared all of a sudden."

Lin Chen asked doubtfully, "Was she harmed by someone?"

Chu Jiaxue shook her head, "How would I know? I don’t know if the Gu family knows the truth, or if they just said that to confuse others. Maybe they really don’t know; it’s unclear."

Lin Chen nodded, "That’s how cultivator families are. They need a powerful figure to support them; otherwise, they can be easily swallowed by others."

Chu Jiaxue suddenly remembered something, "Ah, yes, speaking of which, there’s an interesting story. My cousin and I look like twins, but our appearance is actually more like hers. Some people even say that our genes have reverted to her..."
