Song Xiaotian's father was named Song Qing.
That Daoist Song was named Song Qingshan.
Although the two names were very similar, I figured it was just a coincidence.
I had only asked casually, but Song Xiaotian's response shocked all of us.
"Your great-grandfather?"
"Your great-grandfather was also named Song Qingshan?"
Surely this couldn't be an even bigger coincidence!
Song Xiaotian nodded. "My great-grandfather's name was Song Qingshan. My grandfather named my dad Song Qing in memory of my great-grandfather."
"Wait, how do you know my great-grandfather's name?"
I quickly recounted the deeds of those two masters, Li Tushan and Song Qingshan.
After hearing it, Song Xiaotian was too stunned to speak.
Meng Yifan said, "This has to be a coincidence, right? The ages don't line up. How old would Brother Tian's great-grandfather have been when the Thunder Ancestor statue was smashed?"
"It's not a coincidence." Song Xiaotian stared at us blankly. "My great-grandfather was already very old when he adopted my grandfather. My grandfather wasn't his biological son. He was a child he found. And my great-grandfather was a wandering occult practitioner..."
We were shocked again.
It actually wasn't a coincidence!
That Daoist Song, Song Qingshan, was Song Xiaotian's great-grandfather!
"My grandfather used to tell me that his dad was a master. He told me lots of strange stories about my great-grandfather's past. Of course, I just treated them as stories back then. I didn't believe in this stuff before, either."
Song Xiaotian said, "I always thought my great-grandfather was just a charlatan from that era..."
Seventh Master quickly said, "Your great-grandfather definitely wasn't a charlatan. The fact that he set up the Three Powers Formation on the original site of the Luo Residence is enough to prove he was a true master. Even my skills might not measure up
