Long Ting knew Zhan Chi was thinking of his great-grandmother, and he comforted him, \u201cYour great-grandmother lived longer than my master\u2019s grandfather. She\u2019s gone to reunite with your great-grandfather.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cOnly when we\u2019re all alive and well can she rest in peace.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cGreat-grandmother was the best great-grandmother. It\u2019s impossible not to miss her,\u201d Zhan Chi said. \u201cGreat-grandmother must have seen great-grandfather. My dad said they had a very close relationship.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cWhen great-grandfather passed away, great-grandmother almost couldn\u2019t get over it. Don\u2019t let her strong appearance fool you; she was actually very fragile inside. She missed great-grandfather terribly.\u201d<\/p>\n
Long Ting said, \u201cI understand. Losing a loved one takes a long time.\u201d<\/p>\n
He was only one year old when his parents and family were murdered, and he couldn\u2019t remember them. Throughout his childhood, he didn\u2019t even know what his biological parents looked like. It wasn\u2019t<\/p>\n
until he had enough power to return to H City that he saw photos of his parents in pictures taken by others, and learned what they looked like.<\/p>\n
He inherited the best features of both his parents. If he weren\u2019t wearing a mask and a human face, anyone who had seen his parents would recognize him as the only surviving direct descendant of the Long family.<\/p>\n
\u201cFifth brother, let\u2019s not talk about these sad things. We need to look forward, live well, live a vibrant life, so that those who care about us can rest easy.\u201d<\/p>\n
His master was very worried about him before he left.<\/p>\n
His master had tried everything to save his master\u2019s life. His master was a doctor, and the best one at that. He said that although he was called a miracle doctor his whole life, he wasn\u2019t a god.<\/p>\n
He was just a mortal, subject to birth, aging, sickness, and death. There were some illnesses that even he couldn\u2019t completely cure.<\/p>\n
His master said he would never marry and had no children. He was fortunate to have found his master, whom he raised as both his disciple and his daughter. He was content to see his master marry and have children, and to have been with him until he was nineteen.<\/p>\n
At least when he passed away, those surrounding him were his closest friends and family. He had a disciple who was more like a daughter than a biological one, and a clever, sensible, and filial grand-disciple.<\/p>\n
It was good enough that people remembered him after his death, and that people would come to his grave to offer incense during the Qingming Festival.<\/p>\n
His master instructed him that in the future, when seeking revenge, he must first protect himself. If it required using his life for revenge, his master said, then let go of hatred and live well.His family, even in the afterlife, would surely want him to live a good life.<\/p>\n
They also pleaded with the uncles, aunts, and cousins \u200b\u200bto look after him in the future.<\/p>\n
Pulling the thought back to the old man, Long Ting said, \u201cLet\u2019s go see the lotus flowers; it\u2019s the peak blooming season.\u201d<\/p>\n
Zhan Chi smiled and said, \u201cBrother Ting, my family doesn\u2019t have a lotus pond; only Youyou Manor has one. Do you think we\u2019re sitting in a pavilion in the manor right now?\u201d<\/p>\n
Long Ting: \u201c\u2026Forgot.\u201d<\/p>\n
The two chatted for a long time, while Chu Jiu, like an invisible person, sat quietly in the corner, listening to their conversation.<\/p>\n
Only in front of the Jun and Zhan families could her young master completely relax, without worrying about being schemed against or harmed, and could they chat normally about everyday things.<\/p>\n
\u201cBrother Ting, Fifth Brother, you\u2019re here! I\u2019ve been looking for you for a while, and only after asking the butler did I find out you were here.\u201d<\/p>\n
Bei Bei, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, walked towards the backyard.<\/p>\n
As Beibei stepped into the pavilion, Chu Jiu stood up and respectfully greeted, \u201cMiss Beibei.\u201d<\/p>\n
\u201cNinth Sister?\u201d<\/p>\n
Beibei, seeing Chu Jiu, was as surprised and delighted as Zhan Chi had been earlier.<\/p>\n
\u201cNinth Sister, when did you arrive? I was wondering why Brother Ting didn\u2019t bring you along. Turns out you were here. Why didn\u2019t you come inside with Brother Ting? I thought you hadn\u2019t come.\u201d<\/p>\n
Beibei went over, warmly pulling Chu Jiu to the table and urging her to sit down.<\/p>\n
Chu Jiu quickly stood up.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
