Chapter 53: Chapter 53 Grandpa Tells Her to Get Out

After a long time, Yun Qi hadn’t caught a single fish. She sat on the big stone platform, dangling her bare feet, and watched Yun Qiuce fiddle with the fishing line, looking calm and collected.

Indeed, under her uncle’s careful and meticulous guidance, their fishing line finally got tangled.

"Oh dear, it’s dark, can’t see clearly, let’s wait until tomorrow. It seems there’s no fish in this pond."

Yun Qi turned her head haughtily, "Clearly it’s because uncle isn’t skilled. Grandpa taught me earlier, and I caught several fish."

As she spoke, she picked up the small red bucket beside her and emptied the fish she’d caught earlier back into the pond.

Yun Qiuce wasn’t annoyed. He looked towards the front hall and said, "What’s the Old Master up to? Why hasn’t he come back for so long?"

"Arguing, I suppose," Yun Qi murmured, shaking her head nonchalantly.

"Hmm? Who’s got the nerve to come here and argue? Although my other skills are lacking, I’m good at arguing. Let’s go see who’s picking on our old man!"

With that, he tossed the fishing rod to the butler, hoisted Yun Qi on his shoulder, and headed towards the front hall.

Before they reached it, they heard loud voices coming from the front hall. Despite the commotion, the Old Master was calm, his voice slow, steady, and powerful, "No matter what you all say today, I won’t hand over Qi. She’s a five-year-old child. You should think for yourselves; what would she understand about evil cultivation."

"Even if she doesn’t understand, can you assure she hasn’t been enchanted or used during her time at Yuqing Temple? Why would the headquarters of Section 49 speak on behalf of a little girl?"

The Old Master scoffed coldly and retorted, "What? Do you suspect the forces of evil cultivation have infiltrated the headquarters of Section 49? Then go to the Capital City and say so; why come to me?!"

"You... you old man, why won’t you listen to reason?"

The Old Master sat down nonchalantly, his eyes narrowing slightly, as if to say, "What can you do to me."

Yun Ying stepped forward and bit her lip, "Grandfather—"

"Get lost!" The Old Master frowned, spitting out the words.

Yun Ying was stunned!

Grandfather actually told her to get lost??? From childhood until now, he had never said a harsh word to her, and now he was telling her to get lost!!!

All because of that troublesome girl, Yun Qi.

"Grandfather!" Her tone immediately grew heavier, "Even if you grow to dislike me because of Yun Qi, there are things that I must say. As her sister, I don’t want to believe Yun Qi is involved in evil cultivation, but everything must be thoroughly investigated. Let the facts speak for themselves! If Yun Qi hasn’t indulged in evil cultivation, of course, that’s best, but by shielding her like this, you’re only inviting more suspicion. I’m thinking of the Yun Family’s reputation..."

"Are you thinking of the Yun Family’s reputation or your own undisclosed motives? You know that clearly yourself!" The Old Master’s tone was heavy, laced with undeniable disappointment.

"I..." Yun Ying didn’t know what to say, feeling a tinge of regret.

How did things end up like this???

If... if only Yun Qi hadn’t come back.

In the midst of this dilemma, Yun Qi broke free from Yun Qiuce, ran in with a pitter-patter, and clung to the Old Master’s knee, asking in her childish voice, "Grandfather, what is evil cultivation?"

The Old Master opened his eyes and glanced disdainfully at the crowd, "Evil cultivation is when there’s something wrong with one’s heart, wishing others ill."

"Hah! You old man!" Master Fang knew Elder Yun had said that intentionally, and sighed with embarrassment.

"Oh, then I don’t have that problem. Little Qi doesn’t think about messy things like that." Yun Qi idly picked at the Old Master’s knee, glancing around the room.

The members of the Xuan Sect had only heard Yun Ying mention Yun Qi’s name and knew she was a five-year-old girl.

But they hadn’t expected her to be so adorable, her phoenix eyes clear and bright, a red mole on her brow giving her an aura of spiritual energy.

How could she possibly be involved in evil cultivation?
