"I've seen him a few times. He's much more honest with that old bastard than you are." The woman said calmly.
"Old bastard..." Song Changsheng twitched the corner of his mouth. No matter how slow his reaction was, he had already realized that his relationship was not with his cheap dad, but with his own old man.
And hearing the other person's name, it sounds a bit intimate but also very dissatisfying. Why?
"Could this be senior 'Xiao'? What's the situation between Grandfather and her?" The other party was sitting in front of him, but he was not sure what his attitude was. From the current point of view, he was not an enemy.
After thinking for a while, Song Changsheng asked tentatively, "May I ask if your surname is 'Xiao'?"
The woman's expression remained unchanged, she looked at her with a smile and said, "So what if I am, so what if I'm not?"
"Whether it is yes or no, I don't dare to do anything to you." Song Changsheng secretly cursed in his heart. He just felt that it was too tiring to communicate with these senior experts. If you have something to say, you can't just say it without making people confused.
He complained in his heart, but he replied respectfully, "When I was practicing with Grandfather, Grandfather often mentioned a senior named 'Xiao'. I think the senior's description is somewhat similar to hers, so I asked this question. I hope the senior will understand the rudeness."
The woman raised her eyebrows, put down the tea cup in her hand, stared at Song Changsheng with phoenix eyes, and said with a half-smile, "Really, what did he say about me? You'd better think clearly before speaking. If you dare to make nonsense, I will make your butt explode."
This was a disguised admission, but Song Changsheng didn't have the excitement of uncovering the answer to the mystery. Instead, he felt as if he had dug a hole and buried himself.
What Grandfather often mentioned about the other party was all nonsense, just to test the other party's identity. He originally thought that the other party would continue to conceal it, but in the end, they showed their cards directly and even defeated him.
Song Xianming had never mentioned such a person in front of him. Apart from knowing that there was a piece of Jade Pendant and the strange dream, he didn't know any other information. Now that the other party asked him to tell him, how could he tell?
He doesn't know the identity of the other party, so he can say whatever he wants. Now that he has made it clear, if he dares to talk nonsense, his life will not be in danger, but it will definitely not bring him any good consequences.
If he really spanks him, then he really can't have this face.
Song Changsheng's mind was racing, thinking about how to deal with it, and soon sweat started to appear on his forehead.
Seeing that he didn't speak for a while, the woman took a sip of tea and said in a cold tone, "Why don't you say anything? Did you not think about it well or did the old bastard say something unpleasant to the junior behind my back?"
The cold words were like the cold wind of the twelfth lunar month, which made Song Changsheng involuntarily shudder, and he quickly said with a smile on his face, "Senior is joking, Changsheng is a junior, he dare not talk about his elders, this is disrespectful, senior, please forgive me."
"I've already said this, so you won't force me anymore, right?" Song Changsheng glanced at the other party secretly and thought to himself.
Unexpectedly, the woman didn't buy it and said calmly, "Isn't it disrespectful to disobey me? I let you say it, just say it. If that old bastard has any dissatisfaction, you let him come to me."
Song Changsheng looked bitter. It seemed that the other party didn't intend to let him prevaricate like this. After thinking about it, he planned to say something ambiguous first to test the other party's tone.
"I was still young at that time, and I was learning the ways of Array from Grandfather. At that time, I saw a Jade Pendant hanging on his waist with the word 'wan' written on it.
I was a little curious at the time, so I asked who the owner of Jade Pendant was, and then Grandfather said that it belonged to a senior named "Xiao". She was not only Purple Palace Stage Great Cultivator, but also Third-Tier Alchemist, which told me that if I meet him in the future, I must be as respectful as I am to him. "Song Changsheng said with a low eyebrow.
Half True Half False said this, he did ask who the Jade Pendant belonged to, but Song Xianming covered it tightly and said nothing.
"That's all he said? Didn't you say that he often mentioned me? What did he say after that?" The woman's expression remained unchanged and she continued to ask, not intending to give Song Changsheng a chance to fool him.
Song Changsheng At this moment, I really wanted to give myself a slap in the face. I insisted on revealing someone else's identity. Now, I've trapped myself in it.
Unknowingly, Song Changsheng's back was soaked with sweat.
After a while...
"Give it your all!"
Song Changsheng gritted his teeth, raised his head and looked at the other party, and said with a "serious" look on his face. "Originally Grandfather was not allowed to tell me these words, but since it is the senior who wants to know, the junior feels that it is not impossible to make an exception."
"Oh? Really? Let's talk about it." The woman was a little unimpressed and said calmly while holding up the tea cup.
Song Changsheng took a deep breath and dropped a bombshell. "Senior, in fact, Grandfather has been in love with you for a long time!"
"Pfft——"
The woman who was drinking tea was shocked when she heard this, and the tea she had not swallowed suddenly spurted out. She looked at Song Changsheng with shock and anger, and said coldly, "What nonsense are you talking about? If you don't speak clearly today, the old bastard can find another heir."
Although the other party said something scary, he did not take action directly. Instead, he gave him the opportunity to continue to "quibble", which made Song Changsheng feel confident.
He said secretly in his heart, "I'm sorry Grandfather, my grandson was also forced today, you must forgive me."
After praying in his heart, Song Changsheng immediately lost his burden and hit the target while the iron was hot. "Senior, junior, how dare you talk nonsense, it's all true!
Although he never said it directly, the junior only recognized it and still had a few glances. Every time he mentioned you or looked at that Jade Pendant, he could not help but show it. The junior would never be wrong! "
He didn't dare to brag too much and just stopped talking, lest the other party would become angry and slap him to death.
However, he still has some confidence in his heart. In this world, giving things is very particular. When a woman gives something like Jade Pendant or a sachet to a man, it is usually as a token of love. What's more, her name is written on it, so the meaning is even more obvious.
Although it is a Mortal World custom, such a Tacit Understanding is also maintained among monks. Things with one's name on them cannot be given to the opposite sex casually, especially sachets and Jade Pendant.
My own Old Master has worn the Jade Pendant close to my body for so many years, always carefully, as if it were some peerless treasure. If he were to say that there was nothing fishy about it, he would not believe it.
The other party's attitude towards him was quite kind. When he was a child, his parents might even bring him to see her "brain", calling him "Aunt Xiao".
From this, we can judge that the relationship between the other party and our own family should be relatively close, and they are definitely not enemies.
Therefore, Song Changsheng is betting on whether there is such a relationship between the two people. As long as he understands this, isn't he free to brag about the rest?
The woman's face had returned to calmness at this moment, but her subconsciously clenched hands revealed that she was not actually that calm inside.
"There's something going on." Song Changsheng, who had been quietly observing the other party, naturally would not ignore such details, and suddenly felt that the situation was stable.
"Is what you said true?" The woman picked up the tea cup and said calmly.
"Of course, I also asked Grandfather why I didn't go for it when I had my heart set on it. Grandfather didn't answer me directly at the time. He just said that you would be able to understand it in the future. I didn't understand it at the time. It's only now that I seem to understand what he meant."
"Haha, that's just a lie to a kid like you. He's just a bastard who has changed his mind. What reason can he have?" The woman sneered again and again, and her aura also changed slightly, looking a little colder.
But Song Changsheng could hear full of "grievance" from it!
"My dear, I dug out a big melon. No wonder Old Master is not willing to tell me. It turns out you are the 'scumbag'!
You are really an old fool. If you had gotten together with this senior, wouldn't Lineage have Purple Mansion Great Cultivator as your backer?
But don't worry, your grandson will definitely try his best to restore your image. "
Song Changsheng was heartbroken, but his face remained calm. He pretended to sigh and said, "Senior, you actually misunderstood me Grandfather."
The woman's face looked slightly cold. "You want to quibble on his behalf?"
"It's not a quibble, it's a fact, senior.
It turns out that his old man had already predicted this. You see, you are now Purple Mansion Great Cultivator, forever young, and your appearance remains the same after so many years.
And I, Grandfather, am still Foundation Establishment Cultivator. I am already gray-haired and wrinkled at just over two hundred years old. He feels that his talent is not worthy of you and does not want to delay your Dao Path. "Song Changsheng At this moment, the Oscar-winning actor is possessed. What he said was so emotional True Intention that he almost believed it himself.
Unexpectedly, his performance did not achieve the desired effect. The woman played with the teacup in her hand, looked at Song Changsheng with a half-smile and said, "Song Luyan When I brought you to see me, you Divine Soul were in a state of confusion and couldn't even speak, so you just stared at me and giggled.
It's only been a few years. You've grown taller, your tongue has become sharper, and you've even become bolder. You actually dared to make up a story about you Grandfather. "
Song Changsheng suddenly felt a thump in his heart, and said with a smile, "What do you mean by this, senior?"
"Oh, you don't get along with that old bastard much, do you?" The woman stood up, walked slowly in front of him, and looked down at Song Changsheng.
Song Xianming has been in seclusion all year round, and their grandfather and grandson rarely get along with each other. Song Changsheng knew that his trick had been seen through, and he immediately did not dare to act nonsense anymore, and nodded honestly.
But he is still a little puzzled, how did he expose his flaw? The other party's previous performance can prove that his inference is correct, and he also chose a reasonable reason. Why was it suddenly exposed?
The woman seemed to be able to see through his heart and sneered, "Do you know how others evaluated him when you Grandfather were young?"
Song Changsheng was slightly stunned. He really didn't know this, because Song Xianming never mentioned it, and other elders only said that he was somewhat famous in Great Qi Cultivation World, that's all.
Song Xianming As Third-Tier Array Master, there are only a few Great Qi Cultivation World in the whole. It is normal to be famous, so Song Changsheng didn't pay too much attention to it. Now it seems that it is not just like this.
The woman's face showed an expression of "Sure enough," and she said calmly, "At first, some people commented that he was Heaven-Blessed Genius who was once seen in a thousand years, because he single-handedly defeated all Great Qi Cultivation World's fellow monks, and he was unparalleled in the limelight.
It wasn't until senior Song Yungui passed away that he slowly faded out of people's sight. "
Song Changsheng suddenly woke up when he heard this. He finally understood where his flaw was exposed. How could such a genius have such a ridiculous idea?
"Grandfather ah Grandfather, you really tricked me this time. Why didn't you tell me anything about your glorious past?" Song Changsheng lamented in his heart, he was stabbed in the back by his own Grandfather.
Song Xianming didn't try to break through the Purple Mansion for the first time until he was nearly two hundred years old. He originally thought it was due to his talent, so he thought of this reason, but unexpectedly he overturned.
Song Changsheng feels very uneasy now. After all, his behavior is very disrespectful. Although it is not a slap to death, the physical pain is definitely inevitable.
"Boy, you are so smart that you are fooled by your cleverness. If you hadn't added such superfluous things later, maybe I would have truly believed what you said before.
Song Luyan How could such a loyal and honest person give birth to a son like you? "The woman's tone was unkind. She was really angry today because she was actually teased by a junior.
"It's true that curiosity killed the cat. Please punish me, senior, so that I, the junior, will be convicted."
Song Changsheng admitted his mistake simply and neatly. There is no point in saying anything now. I just hope that for the sake of the old man, the other party can be given a lighter sentence.
The woman did not speak, but stared at him for a while and then said, "Although you really deserve a spanking, for the sake of your parents, I will spare you this time. Next time, I will definitely go to Vast Peak to talk to that old bastard about what you did today."
Song Changsheng immediately shuddered when he heard this. He had a hunch that if Old Master knew that he had arranged him in this way, he would definitely be unable to bear the consequences, so he quickly agreed.
"Okay, let's just pretend this never happened today. I just came to see you. Now that people have seen it and heard the story, it's time for me to leave.
Please ask Song Xianming for me. "
"Senior, please give me some instructions." Song Changsheng asked respectfully.
The woman stood there and considered for a long time, and finally said, "Ask him for me if he has ever regretted his original decision.
I don't want to know the answer, so just listen to it for me. "
After saying that, the woman turned around and walked out of Bamboo Building.
Song Changsheng asked quickly, "Senior, you haven't left your name yet."
Outside Bamboo Building, the woman left without looking back, leaving only a clear voice echoing in Bamboo Forest: "Xiao Qingwan."
After confirming that the other party had gone far, Song Changsheng returned to his seat and sat down in a daze. After a long time, he smiled bitterly and said, "It is indeed a love debt. How can I talk to Grandfather?"
Song Xianming He doesn't know if he will regret it later. Anyway, he regrets it now.
"Curiosity really killed the cat..."
