As soon as Schilling's Shadow returned to his courtyard, the steward summoned him to Xi Home Leader's study.
"Nuo Ying, there's only the two of us in this room. You don't have to be so formal. Feel free to take a seat." Xi Home Leader smiled lovingly.
Schilling's Shadow was alarmed, but his expression remained calm.
She knew Xi Home Leader quite well.
In his eyes, only powerful descendants deserved his attention. Just like her father and Xi Mengdie.
"Grandpa, why did you ask me to come here?" She didn't like formalities, so she got straight to the point.
Xi Home Leader was surprised by her sharp senses. A hint of appreciation appeared in his sharp eyes.
"Grandpa asked you to come here today to ask you some questions. These questions have been bothering Grandpa for far too long."
He was calling himself "Grandpa" in front of her. He was obviously trying to get closer to her.
Schilling's Shadow sneered inwardly. "Ask away, Grandpa. As long as I can answer, Nuo Ying will tell you everything."
These words were spoken with finesse. It sounded nice, but it was up to Nuo Ying to decide which questions she could answer.
It was up to Nuo Ying to decide whether she would answer.
As the head of the family, Xi Home Leader knew his place. He couldn't help but smile wryly.
He thought that no matter how much resentment Xi Nuoying had towards the Xi family, she was just a fourteen to fifteen year old girl. With just a few words, he would be able to get the truth out of her mouth easily.
Who would've thought that she would be the one to take the initiative?
He sighed softly. "Grandpa wants to ask you a question first. Did you encounter some kind of fortuitous encounter that changed your constitution and comprehension? Was that why you were able to cultivate battle aura?"
Schilling's Shadow had already been diagnosed as a good-for-nothing by the spirit testing stone. How could he make a comeback overnight and cultivate battle aura? Who would believe that he hadn't encountered some kind of fortuitous encounter?
"Grandpa, why are you so sure that I was born a loser?" Schilling's Shadow asked.
Xi Home leader was slightly taken aback. "What do you mean? Could it be that someone did something to your body? "
"Well … I'm not sure either. I was hoping that grandfather would secretly send someone to investigate for Nuo Ying. Why would someone tell me that my body was poisoned with a Dou Qi that suppressed my Dou Qi cultivation, and why an antidote was able to easily remove the restrictions on my Dou Qi cultivation."
She answered evasively. Of course, she would not tell Xi Home leader everything that had happened on Lingyun Peak.
She didn't trust him.
Just like how he didn't have true feelings for her.
Xi Home leader would never have thought that Schilling's Shadow wasn't a good-for-nothing. Instead, he had been framed and turned into a good-for-nothing.
His face fell and his expression turned ugly. Someone was actually harming his granddaughter right under his nose!
"Don't worry. Grandpa will get to the bottom of this and give you justice."
He made this promise not only because of his pride, but also because he wanted to curry favor with Schilling's Shadow. He wanted her to know that he valued her.
However, Schilling's Shadow wasn't the type to curry favor with people so easily.
She only smiled faintly. "Thank you, Grandpa."
She was being polite, polite, and distant. This made the Xi Family feel defeated.
He coughed lightly and asked, "Although the cultivation of Dou Qi can be done according to the mnemonic chant, it still requires someone to guide you. Since you can already cultivate, then in the future, come find grandpa often. Grandpa will personally guide you."
This was the second time he had taken the initiative to show his goodwill.
