Chapter 1239: Chapter 530 Grandpa, Please Take Him In!_2
Mentioning this, the old butler felt somewhat helpless in his heart.
This young lady really... had no brains!
Presently, the situation in Dingbo State was already complicated, with King Dingyuan watching like a tiger.
This young lady had directly brought the Elder from the rebelling Judgment Assembly to her ancestors.
Was she afraid that King Dingyuan lacked the conditions to exert himself?
When Liu Chudong brought this up, a hint of disappointment flashed in his eyes.
Indeed... Grandfather still didn’t want to meet.
Li Fengzhi, upon hearing this, was also immensely disappointed.
Currently, the Judgment Assembly, with internal and external troubles, was seeing its survival space gradually diminish.
Among the Rakshasa Seven Gods, only Liu Sheng was someone the Judgment Assembly could potentially win over.
If they could secure Liu Sheng’s support, the current state of the Judgment Assembly would be much better.
Now, Liu Sheng didn’t even want to meet, and one could imagine his attitude.
"Chudong, don’t worry about it," Li Fengzhi said, smiling kindly.
Liu Chudong felt even more depressed.
"Let’s go, it’s still early. You can see if that young man from Ning Country has returned; it would be a good chance to ask him about things in Ning Country," Li Fengzhi suggested fruitfully.
Seeing this, Liu Chudong’s spirits lifted again: "Brother Qi..."
But before he could finish, suddenly the old butler’s voice came.
"The old ancestor says you may come in now."
Liu Chudong was taken aback, his face showing an ecstatic expression: "Grandfather changed his mind?"
Li Fengzhi was somewhat surprised, her surprise mixed with confusion.
Why had Liu Sheng, the Divine Grade Soldier Commander, changed his mind?
She was somewhat puzzled.
However, being able to meet a Divine Grade Soldier Commander was still good news.
"Let’s go see Grandfather," Liu Chudong said joyously.
However, upon reaching deep into the manor, Liu Chudong was stopped outside while Li Fengzhi met Liu Sheng alone.
She could only stand quietly outside, chatting casually with Sister Qian.
About an hour later, Li Fengzhi walked out of the courtyard, her face wearing a smile, clearly indicating that the conversation had been fruitful.
And indeed, it was a significant gain.
Because, Liu Sheng was actually prepared to provide material support and also protect the Judgment Assembly in Dingbo State.
However, the Judgment Assembly needed to help the Liu Family deal with Blood Hand.
For the Judgment Assembly, this was undoubtedly good news, a joyful event.
"Chudong, your grandfather is calling you inside," Li Fengzhi said happily, her tone even gentler.
Liu Chudong hesitated briefly, then hurried into the courtyard.
Passing through a stretch of bamboo forest, a stream, Liu Chudong’s steps halted inside a pavilion.
The courtyard was vast, filled with the scent of wood, various bamboos, trees, and flowering plants adorned it; even in autumn, there were no signs of withering, appearing exceptionally vibrant.
"Grandfather," Liu Chudong called crisply, in a good mood.
In the pavilion, an old man with white hair and a long beard seemed to have a knot tied underneath, looking particularly kind.
On the small table, there was a painting.
The ink on it was still wet, obviously just finished.
"Grandfather, what are you painting?" Liu Chudong leaned in, showing a curious expression.
"This painted creature... is quite heroic!" Liu Chudong gave her appraisal.
She also had emotional intelligence.
In the painting was a titan, seemingly a hundred meters tall, clad in Blood Armor, with eyes brimming with murderous intent, might be mistaken for a Death God from Hell if one didn’t know better.
But from Grandfather’s brushwork, she could sense his appreciation for this creature.
So naturally, she flattered, sweetening her words.
"Hehe, just some little trinkets," Liu Sheng said lightly, though the joy in his eyes couldn’t be concealed.
Just then, he received news that the Blood Cloud Bandits were annihilated.
Such news naturally deserved a grand white celebration.
But upon learning more details, he felt a grand white was not enough.
Especially since, just now in the conversation with Li Fengzhi, he learned even more details about Ning Country.
Especially several months ago, Shen Lin’s revival, appearing not to be an Illusion, was truly existing.
So... does it mean... Shen Lin is really reviving?
The one who annihilated the Blood Cloud Bandits was none other than the legendary... Shen Lin?
If Shen Lin were truly still alive, the current situation in Dingbo State would change.
He would not be gradually consumed by the Royal Family.
If one were to ask who in this world most wished for Shen Lin’s revival, aside from the Judgment Assembly, and aside from those common folk who still remember Shen Lin, it would likely be him.
"Grandfather is in a good mood today, whatever you desire, just say it," Liu Sheng began, his face full of joy.
Of course, there were implied restrictions; don’t go too far.
Although his granddaughter wasn’t the brightest, she did possess a certain level of emotional intelligence.
Upon hearing this, Liu Chudong’s eyes began to move, "Grandfather, don’t you lack an apprentice? I’ve recently made a good friend; he is especially kind and has an elegant appearance. Would you like to take him as your apprentice?"
To change grandfather’s mind and way of thinking, just her alone was not enough.
Thus, she decided to team up with Qi Yuan to change grandfather.
Look, your granddaughter is of the Judgment, your disciple too would be of the Judgment, how could you not support the Judgment?
Liu Sheng chuckled, "I’m old now, I don’t take disciples."
He naturally understood his granddaughter’s intentions.
"Grandfather!" Liu Chudong expressed dissatisfaction.
"To take a disciple is no trivial matter; if it were to delay your friend, grandfather couldn’t bear that responsibility," Liu Sheng spoke, "He is originally an outsider, but if he becomes my disciple, he will be part of the inside; I fear... it might implicate him."
Liu Chudong paused for a moment; she knew it was useless to say more, this disciple, grandfather would not accept.
"It’s a pity, I think he’s really talented, especially since he originated from a small country. It is not easy for him to have left that country and come to Rakshasa Country," Liu Chudong’s voice carried a hint of sympathy.
Ning Country and Rakshasa Country were separated by a vast sea; the journey was long, fraught with land bandits and pirates.
Without a hint of real strength, it was extremely difficult to cross the ocean to Rakshasa Country.
Upon hearing this, Liu Sheng’s eyebrows twitched, seemingly struck with a realization, "Which small country did he come from?"
"Ning Country, the same country where Sister Qianran resides," Liu Chudong earnestly replied.
"What?" Liu Sheng’s gaze shifted slightly, and his body stiffened.
"Grandfather? Is there a problem with him?" Liu Chudong asked surprised.
"No..." Liu Sheng shook his head, his expression growing unfathomable.
During this period... from Ning Country to Rakshasa Country.
And shortly after his arrival, the Blood Cloud Bandits were annihilated, Shen Lin had descended.
Were these events connected?
Or was it that he... by chance obtained a piece of Shen Lin, bringing Shen Lin to Rakshasa Country?
"Grandfather, if there is an issue with him, I can bring him to meet you, you’ll know once you see him."
Seeing grandfather’s grave expression, Liu Chudong spoke earnestly.
Though she trusted Brother Qi Yuan greatly, she couldn’t discern priorities clearly yet.
Having known Brother Qi for only a few days, naturally, he wasn’t as important as grandfather, in whom she trusted more.
"No need," Liu Sheng shook his head, thought of something, and softly said, "I have not yet visited the Judgment..."
"Grandfather, you know!" Liu Chudong covered her mouth, somewhat shocked.
"Fusu has spirit; it can sense those with malicious intents. I will bring Fusu with me to help you vet and see if there are those harboring ulterior motives within the Judgment," Liu Sheng smiled, his eyes deepening.
His thoughts ran deeper.
...
"A bit tired."
Qi Yuan yawned, his face tired with a tinge of paleness.
After all, he was merely a Sky Level Soldier Commander.
Using such thunderous methods to annihilate the Blood Cloud Bandits was indeed dramatic, but it took a heavy toll on him.
However, to properly play the part of Shen Lin, one must look imposing and dominant.
Now, as he gradually enhanced his portrayal of Shen Lin, he felt it was quite rewarding.
Once he reached a certain threshold, he might obtain gifts from Shen Lin, perhaps greatly enhancing his power.
"Young Master, would you like a bun?" Chen Kangbao offered with sympathy.
Qi Yuan shook his head, "I need to sleep. While I’m asleep, no one should disturb me."
After Qi Yuan spoke, he returned to his room and fell asleep immediately.
He hadn’t even bathed.
Last night, he not only wiped out the headquarters of the Blood Cloud Bandits but also flattened other strongholds, significantly expending his energy.
He immediately fell asleep on the bed, his breathing even.
On the bed, Xiao Jia snuggled tightly against Qi Yuan, her cold sleeve gripping Qi Yuan’s hand. If Xiao Jia had a face, her expression would certainly be intensely focused and gentle.
