The days went by. Jiang Cheng practiced day after day. Unfortunately, his Genuine Qi made no progress. No matter how hard he practiced, he couldn't improve. Feng Yiping didn't explain the reason. He just thought it was because of the Heart Eroding Grass.
Time passed. Another half a year had passed. Today was the traditional New Year's Eve. Feng Yiping had already arranged for Qin Long to prepare some wine and meat. He even prepared some Spring Festival couplets. It was a happy and peaceful occasion.
At night, they sat together early to celebrate the New Year. The atmosphere was very harmonious.
But at this time, such a peaceful scene made Jiang Cheng's heart feel complicated. A year had passed. He didn't know how his wife, children, and parents were doing. He hadn't contacted them for more than a year. They must have thought he was dead. Even if he went back now, no one would recognize him. As he thought about it, his heart trembled with sorrow and melancholy.
At this time, Feng Yiping raised his wine glass and said with a smile, "Today is the New Year. Let's drink to our heart's content. Even if it's a celebration, it's also a farewell!"
Feng Yiping looked at Jiang Ping. His expression revealed a trace of reluctance.
Everyone was shocked. They didn't know why Feng Yiping would suddenly say such a thing.
After a while, everyone understood. They just didn't want to accept and believe it.
Jing Long kept looking around. He scratched his head and said with a silly smile, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? We're all fine. What farewell?"
Qi Lin was also confused. She said, "Yes, grandpa. It's the New Year. Why are you talking about farewell?"
Qi Lin wondered if grandpa was drunk.
Feng Yiping took a sip of wine and put down the cup. He said, "You've all been taken in by me since you were young. Now that you've all grown up, it's time for us to say our goodbyes." With that, he turned around and didn't look at anyone else.
Everyone could see Feng Yiping's facial muscles start to twitch.
Hearing this, Jing Long immediately became anxious. He stood up with a red face and said, "Grandpa, what are you talking about? You've worked hard to raise us. Now is the time to take care of you. How can you let us go?"
Qi Lin was on the verge of tears. "That's right, Grandpa. Don't be like this. Did I make you angry? I'll listen to you from now on. I'll practice martial arts and pay attention to your lessons. Grandpa, please don't chase us away, okay?"
The more Qi Lin thought about it, the sadder she became, and she began to sob.
Feng Yiping looked at Qi Lin, his eyes filled with love. He smiled and rubbed Qi Lin's head.
"Silly girl, don't talk nonsense. You're all grown up now, and you can go out and take charge on your own. This can be considered as completing your grandfather's task. Back then, I promised to save my people and said that I could only do my own things after saving four people. Now that your grandfather's task has been completed, it's time for me to fulfill my own wishes. "
Jiang Cheng just looked at Feng Yiping. Feng Yiping's face was glowing as if he was really going to realize his dreams, but his eyes were filled with the color of farewell.
At this moment, among the four of them, Xiao He was the calmest. It was as if everything was within his expectations.
Xiao He raised his wine cup and took a sip. Then he calmly said, "Grandpa, are you going to take revenge?" After speaking, he stared at Feng Yiping as if he was waiting for a definite answer.
Everyone was stunned. Revenge? Everyone scratched their heads in confusion. Their faces were filled with fear and confusion.
However, after thinking about it, they understood. Xiao He was the first child saved by Feng Yiping. Moreover, his mind was outstanding and his schemes were unparalleled. It was likely that he had already guessed most of Feng Yiping's matters. It was just that Feng Yiping didn't mention it, and Xiao He never asked.
Feng Yiping looked at Xiao He and then nodded with a smile. "I really can't hide anything from you!"
Jiang Cheng looked at Feng Yiping and raised his head slightly. He softly asked, "Elder Feng, is the enemy very powerful?"
Jiang Cheng couldn't imagine how Feng Yiping would have enemies. Feng Yiping already looked very powerful, so just how powerful were his enemies?
Jiang Cheng suddenly realized that he knew nothing about Feng Yiping.
Hearing this, Feng Yiping seemed to have returned to that memory. His face flashed with a strange light.
He shook his head and said, "Forget it, forget it. Since fate has brought us together, I might as well tell you all. Perhaps if there is a chance, you all can help me fulfill a wish." After he finished speaking, he chuckled twice.
Everyone stopped talking and the atmosphere was a bit depressing. Since Feng Yiping said this, then the enemy was most likely very powerful. This was because Jiang Cheng was well aware of Feng Yiping's abilities. Even he himself wasn't Feng Yiping's opponent right now. Then just how powerful would Feng Yiping's enemy be?
Feng Yiping didn't seem to see the reluctance and sadness on the faces of the young people. He said, "Back then, my junior brother and I learned from a jianghu doctor. My junior brother and I were orphans. When we were begging on the side of the road, our master took us in and taught us his skills.
"That was the happiest time of my life. It was because we also had a little junior sister. She was a peerless beauty. After a long time, the two of us developed feelings for each other. Master had already seen this, so he was prepared to let junior sister marry me." Feng Yiping softly sighed as he spoke. He took a sip of wine as if he was thinking about a very beautiful, but also a very painful memory.
At this point, Feng Yiping suddenly stopped and picked up his wine cup again. After a pause, he said, "But what we didn't expect was that junior brother already had feelings for junior sister. On the night of our wedding, he poisoned her. I will never forget junior brother's ferocious face! Unfortunately, junior sister, in order to save me and master, forcefully attacked junior brother and was killed by junior brother. Master, in order to protect me, was chased by junior brother for over a hundred miles. In the end, he died from anger! "
Hearing this, everyone was moved. They didn't expect Feng Yiping to have such a tragic past!
Feng Yiping was immersed in his own world, unable to extricate himself. It was as if he couldn't close his memories after opening them.
He murmured, "It's a pity that my skills were not as good as others at that time. Junior Brother had learned all of Master's skills and far surpassed me in every aspect. Before Master died, he told me that I must take revenge. Because there were four of us, Master hoped that I could only take revenge after I saved four people by the river. As for why Master died before he finished speaking."
Xiao He calmly said, "Grandpa's master must have been worried that grandpa would commit suicide or go find your junior brother for revenge."
Feng Yiping's voice was filled with bitterness when he heard this. He said indifferently, "That's right, how could I not understand master's intentions? Master wanted me to take revenge so that I would have a reason to continue living. He wanted me to save four people here so that I could gradually forget my hatred in the long run."
The more Feng Yiping spoke, the more agitated he became. "But how could I forget all of this? I always thought that living in such a remote place, even if I spent my entire life, I wouldn't be able to save a single person. However, Xiao He's appearance gave me hope. I want to fulfill master's last wish. After saving four people, I will take revenge. "
"Grandpa, do you know that your master is like this because he doesn't want you to take revenge? He wants you to live well." Qi Lin said with a sobbing tone.
Feng Yiping bitterly laughed. "How could I not understand master's intentions? However, I've lived like this for more than twenty years. Every day, I feel like my heart is being stabbed by a knife. Even the Heart Eroding Grass can't compare to my suffering. I've thought about dying countless times. If I die, I can be with master and junior sister. "
When Feng Yiping said these words, his eyes were filled with yearning. It was as if death was the best release for him. To fall to rock bottom during one's happiest time was the cruelest punishment in the world.
Xiao He still wanted to say something, but Feng Yiping waved his hand to stop him. "I know what you want to say, but I want to tell you that when you leave this place, we will no longer have anything to do with each other. If you still remember that I saved your lives, then after I die, find a way to bury my junior sister and my ashes together. That will be my last wish."
Feng Yiping's words immediately caused Qi Lin's tears to fall. She cried and said, "Grandpa, don't say that. You still have us. I will definitely stay by your side. Please grandpa, don't leave us."
Feng Yiping looked lovingly at Qi Lin and said, "Silly girl, you've all grown up now. It's time for you to go out and explore the world. The outside world is very exciting. Go create the glory that you deserve. Grandpa should go do his own things."
When Qi Lin heard this, she cried even harder.
Ever since she met her grandfather, Qi Lin never thought that one day she would have to leave her grandfather. This sudden arrangement made Qi Lin's heart ache to the extreme. She really couldn't accept it. She couldn't be as calm as Xiao He. She just wanted to stay by her grandfather's side.
Moreover, Qi Lin had always felt that Feng Yiping was an existence that was like a master. He was emotionless and aloof from worldly affairs. In her heart, he was the most important person. It was as if as long as Feng Yiping was there, there was nothing that couldn't be done.
Jing Long's eyes were also red as he said, "Grandpa, then tell me who your enemy is. I'll help you get revenge! That way, you won't have to leave and everyone won't have to separate. "He said seriously and full of expectation.
"I have to do my own things. Jing Long, you must listen to Xiao He and the others in the future." Feng Yiping looked at Jing Long, smiled, and ordered.
