"My young friend Xing Jue, since you want to know about Shishi's background so much, let me tell you!"
However, just as Xing Jue was filled with doubts, an old man's voice came from behind him. When Xing Jue saw the old man, he could not help but be shocked. It was Grandpa Wang from the village.
However, at this moment, Grandpa Wang was standing in the air not far away from the execution site while riding on the purple mist.
Most importantly, Xing Jue could not sense his strength, let alone his aura. It could be said that he had appeared in Xing Jue's range of perception without a sound.
"My young friend Xing Jue, there is no need to be surprised. I am just a beginner Asura Warrior. I can hide my aura because of the treasure left behind by Shishi's mother." Somewhere in the Jade Sea Forest, Grandpa Wang and Xing Jue sat cross-legged and looked at each other.
"Grandpa Wang, why are you hiding your strength? Are you really guarding something? "Xing Jue asked anxiously. He could not wait to know everything about this place.
"It's a long story. Xing Jue, do you know who the current leader of the Everlasting Institute is?" Grandpa Wang did not answer Xing Jue's question directly.
"The leader of the Everlasting Institute is the strongest person in the Ming Kingdom, Hong Qiang!"
Although Xing Jue had not been in the Everlasting Institute for long, he had still heard of the name of the Everlasting Institute's leader.
He was a top genius who had become the strongest person in the Ming Kingdom before he was 40 years old. He had become the successor of the Everlasting Institute's leader and controlled everything in the Ming Kingdom.
"Actually, Shishi is Hong Qiang's daughter!" Grandpa Wang said with a smile.
"What? But Shishi's surname is Lin! "Xing Jue was surprised.
"Shishi took her mother's surname, and her mother's name is Lin Wan."
"Although Miss Lin Wan is not a disciple of the Everlasting Institute, she is still a rare genius."
"Miss Lin Wan and Shi 'shi are very similar. Their talents are not in cultivation, but in alchemy!"
"The Lin family has a long history and is the number one family in the Ming Kingdom."
"Come to think of it, the Lin Clan was definitely one of the top forces in the Ming Kingdom. Even though it wasn't as powerful as the Everlasting Court, it wasn't something a small sect could afford to offend."
"It's just that the Lin Clan has always kept a low profile, so not many people know about it!" At this point, Grandpa Wang's face was filled with emotion. It was as if he had personally witnessed the glory of the Lin family, and the memory was still fresh in his mind.
Seeing this, Xing Jue didn't interrupt. Instead, he listened carefully because he knew that Grandpa Wang was ready to tell him everything, and this was something that he really wanted to know.
"I believe you must be curious why Shishi's Pill Refining Technique is better than the Wuji Institute's, and why her understanding of the immortal herbs is better than the Wuji Institute's." Grandpa Wang suddenly asked with a smile. Xing Jue also nodded vigorously because this was indeed what he wanted to know.
"Actually, none of this is a coincidence. It's because the Lin Clan was originally a family that focused on Pill Refining."
"The Lin Clan's Pill Refining Technique was exquisite. At its peak a thousand years ago, not to mention the Wuji Institute, even the top forces in the Soul Source World couldn't compare."
"It is also because of this that many powerful forces have come to recruit the Lin Family, wanting to take it for themselves."
"However, the Lin Clan, due to the teachings of their ancestors, would never submit to any forces. Therefore, they tactfully rejected the invitations of those powerful forces!"
"But because of this, some forces were angry. They felt that the Lin Clan was looking down on them. Therefore, they secretly sent powerful cultivators to attack the Lin Clan, causing the Lin Clan to suffer a disaster."
"Although a branch of the Lin Clan managed to escape, the Lin Clan's strength was greatly reduced. In the end, they came to this unknown Ming Kingdom, but at least they survived." Grandpa Wang's face was filled with pride as he talked about the glorious history of the Lin Clan.
"I didn't expect Shishi to have such a background!" Hearing this, even Xing Jue couldn't help but gasp.
The Soul Source World was boundless. The Ming Kingdom was just a desolate place in the eyes of the real experts.
Although the Wuji Institute was the overlord of the Ming Kingdom, compared to those powerful forces in the center of the Soul Source World, they were just trash, which could be destroyed with a flick of their fingers.
Furthermore, the Lin Clan's alchemy skills were actually ranked at the top of the world. From this, it could be seen that the Lin Clan's strength in the past was not to be underestimated. If it wasn't for the fact that they were wiped out by the top powers, their strength would have reached an unimaginable level. At the very least, the Everlasting Court could not compare to them.
"Heh … It seems that it's a bit far away. It's just a history from a thousand years ago. Speaking of it, it has little to do with the Lin Clan in the Ming Kingdom. Moreover, the Lin Clan no longer exists!" Suddenly, a wry smile appeared on Grandpa Wang's face.
"What? You said the Lin Clan no longer exists? "
"Of course. Otherwise, why would Shi 'shi be here?"
"Then who destroyed the Lin Clan? Could it be the Wuji Institute? "
"Of course not. Although the Lin Clan is not as glorious as it was a thousand years ago, if the Wuji Institute dares to harm the Lin Clan, they will definitely pay a heavy price!"
"Then who did it?"
"I don't know. I was just a servant of the Lin Clan. I accompanied Miss Lin Wan to travel, so I was lucky enough to escape."
"Then … how did Shishi's mother get to know the Leader of the Wuji Institute, Hong Qiang? Where is Shishi's mother now? " Hearing this, Xing Jue found out that the Lin Clan no longer existed. However, Xing Jue was more curious about the whereabouts of Shishi's mother.
"After the Lin Clan was destroyed, we survived and followed Miss Lin Wan and continued to live incognito."
"However, Miss Lin was not willing to let the Lin Clan disappear, so she decided to find an outstanding descendant in the Ming Kingdom to create a good relationship and preserve the Lin Clan's bloodline."
"At that time, although Hong Qiang was just a disciple of the Wuji Institute, Miss Lin saw his extraordinary potential. In the end, the two of them fell in love and used immortal herbs to refine medicine to help Hong Qiang cultivate!"
"At first, I thought that everything would be fine. However, things are unpredictable. In order to fight for the position of Sect Leader, Hong Qiang abandoned Miss Lin and married the daughter of the Sect Leader."
"However, Hong Qiang did not know that Miss Lin was already pregnant with him, and that was Shishi."
"After being abandoned, Miss Lin did not feel disheartened. Instead, she worked hard and swore to become an expert of her generation and make Hong Qiang regret it."
"After giving birth to Shishi, Miss Lin studied the art of alchemy and the method to find immortal herbs. In the end, she found a Level Four immortal herb in the Jade Sea Forest."
"Although Miss Lin's talent in cultivation was mediocre, if she had the help of a Level Four immortal herb, she would be able to obtain a cultivation speed that far surpassed ordinary people. One day, she would surpass Hong Qiang."
"However, that Level Four immortal herb was too strong. Although Miss Lin was already a beginner Martial Master, she was far from being its opponent."
"Miss Lin, who found the Level Four immortal herb with great difficulty, was unwilling to miss this opportunity. Thus, she used the Lin Family's sealing technique and used her own life as the price to seal the Level Four immortal herb in the Jade Sea Forest."
"Before Miss Lin died, she told us that we must protect that immortal herb."
"Moreover, she told us to teach Shishi the Lin Family's art of alchemy and the method to find immortal herbs. When Shishi's cultivation reached a certain level, she would remove the seal and take the Level Four immortal herb for herself!"
"As a servant of the Lin Family, I would definitely take Miss Lin's instructions as my duty. However, who would have known that three years ago, Hong Qiang, who had already become the Sect Leader of the Wuji Institute, somehow found out that Miss Lin was pregnant with a daughter and found this place."
"You should know what happened next. Although Shishi was brought to the Wuji Institute by Hong Qiang, not only did Shishi not have any feelings for Hong Qiang, she hated him to the bone!"
"Shishi went to the Wuji Institute to obtain better resources for alchemy and cultivation. However, whether it was alchemy or cultivation, she relied on herself because Shishi never trusted anyone."
Grandpa Wang slowly talked about the Lin Family, Shishi's mother, and Shishi's past, and Xing Jue heard every single word in his heart. At this moment, Xing Jue's emotions were very complicated, because he finally knew the reason why Lin Shishi was so cold.
Moreover, Xing Jue now unconsciously felt a sense of sympathy for Lin Shishi. Although Xing Jue had experienced the pain of being an orphan, at least his parents were very caring towards him and they loved each other very much. Back then, they had abandoned him because they had no other choice. In the end, it was all for him.
In comparison, Lin Shishi was much more pitiful, because her father had betrayed her and her mother. Even if he had found his conscience and wanted to make up for his mistake, it would not be able to erase Lin Shishi's hatred for him. From a certain point of view, Shishi's mother's death was inextricably linked to her father.
"Shishi came back this time for the Level Four Immortal Herb."
"Since she was willing to invite you here, it means that she trusts you very much."
Suddenly, Grandpa Wang knelt in front of Xing Jue and begged, "So, my young friend Xing Jue, I beg you, help me persuade Shishi not to have any ideas about the Level Four Immortal Herb, because she is the only bloodline of the Lin Family!"
"Grandpa Wang, what are you doing?"
"If even you can't persuade Shishi, then there's nothing I can do!"
"However, I promise you that as long as I, Xing Jue, have a single breath left in me, I will not let anything happen to Shishi!" Seeing this, Xing Jue hurriedly helped Grandpa Wang to his feet. Feeling the old man's trembling body and the tears streaming down his wizened face, Xing Jue's heart ached even more.
At this moment, Xing Jue made up his mind. No matter what happens, he will protect Lin Shishi. Even if it's not for anyone else, for the sake of this old man before him, he must do it.
A man who had only known Xing Jue for less than a day had told him everything about the Lin Family. This showed just how much trust the old man had in Xing Jue. This level of trust was something that Xing Jue could not bear to disappoint.
After finding out everything, in order not to arouse Lin Shishi's suspicions, Xing Jue and Grandpa Wang returned to the village at different times.
In the days that followed, Lin Shishi continued to prepare something and did not show her face.
As for Xing Jue, apart from his daily cultivation, he practiced self-mutilation in the bone-piercing Level Three Body Refining Essence every day.
Fortunately, with the double effects of the Asura Condensed Stone and the Level Three Body Refining Essence, Xing Jue's cultivation speed soared. It was not a waste of his life-risking cultivation.
And under this kind of lifestyle, a month passed quietly. On the 30th day after arriving at the village, Lin Shishi, who had disappeared for almost a month, finally appeared in front of Xing Jue.
