When Su Wulei heard that his great-grandfather had gone out to look for him, he was somewhat moved. He remembered that Su Li had said that he was at a critical juncture in his recovery.
Great-grandfather wasn't at the Su residence, so she didn't rush into the Su residence. Instead, she accompanied Su Li and waited in the snow.
An hour later, a figure emitting an earthen yellow light descended from the sky, stepping on a sonic boom.
Rumbling could be heard as his great-grandfather laughed loudly.
"How can my Su family's Qilin girl be easily killed by some rats? Haha…"
It was obvious that he already knew something, but he did not point it out.
Looking at her great-grandfather's figure flying in the air, Su Wulei's eyes flashed with envy. She knew that only by breaking through the Martial Warrior Realm and reaching the Martial Master Realm could she fly freely in the sky.
The old man landed on the ground. His aged face was pale, and his white hair was disheveled. His bloodshot eyes could not hide his joy as he sized up Su Wulei.
"Greetings, great-grandfather!" Su Wulei bowed deeply. At this moment, her heart suddenly felt warm.
The old man raised his hand, and an invisible force immediately lifted Su Wulei up. He said in a loud and clear voice,""It's good that you're back, it's good that you're back. Eh-"
He seemed to have discovered something in an instant. He looked deeply at Su Wulei again, and a puzzled expression immediately appeared on his face."Ninth Grade Martial Apprentice?"
He remembered that the last time he saw her, Su Wulei was only a Third Grade Martial Apprentice. He had not seen her for a month, yet she had reached such a realm!
The old man raised his hand and rubbed his eyes. After seeing that Su Wulei was indeed a ninth-tier Martial Apprentice, a look of ecstasy immediately appeared on his face. Just as he was about to speak, he seemed to have thought of something.
Suddenly, his face darkened." Su Li, you can't let anyone know that Eldest Miss is now a ninth-level Martial Apprentice. Even if you die, you must keep it to yourself."”
"Yes, sir!" Su Li bowed respectfully.
After the old man finished speaking, he suddenly pointed his finger at Su Wulei's glabella. Just as Su Wulei was shocked but could not dodge it, pure earth attribute spiritual power was emitted and instantly wrapped around her glabella and dantian.
After doing this, the old man's face turned even paler. While Su Wulei was puzzled, he removed his finger and said,""Lei `er, this old man has concealed your cultivation level. No one can detect your cultivation level until it exceeds mine. I believe you understand why!”
This was because the old man was worried that she would attract jealousy and asked her to hide her strength.
"Thank you, great-grandfather!" Sensing the old man's concern from the bottom of his heart, Su Wulei bowed again.
When he raised his head, even the five-colored mark between his eyebrows had disappeared.
"Nosy!"
Nightcrypt suddenly spoke up, clearly displeased that the old man had blocked the mark on her forehead!
Su Wulei glared at him. He snorted and turned around.
Other than Su Wulei, no one else had noticed his existence.
" Grand Elder, since the Eldest Miss is fine, you should go back and cultivate in seclusion. Your body..." Su Li stared at the old man's face with worry in his eyes.
"No worries!" The old man waved his hand." Go and gather all the direct descendants to the ancestral hall. Today, I want them to come and pay their respects to Eldest Miss."”
Su Li wanted to say something but hesitated. He opened his mouth, but in the end, he still bowed and walked into the Su residence.
The old man's expression turned serious as he reached out and grabbed Su Wulei's arm.""Lei `er, the direct descendants of the Su family are all members of your bloodline. "If you become a strong person, I hope you can lead the direct descendants of the Su family to rise again.”
His voice was trembling." As if your father is still in the Su family. Are you willing?"”
He enunciated each word, and his eyes suddenly shone brightly.
For the sake of the unity of the Su family, he had endured for many years. He had even watched his descendants being bullied by the collateral family without interfering.
He knew that even if he interfered, none of the direct descendants of the Su family could hold them back. Sooner or later, they would still decline and even cause the entire Su family to collapse.
But now, those branch relatives actually harmed the direct line's Qilin girl for their own selfish reasons. He could no longer tolerate it.
Even if the entire Su Clan was to be destroyed, he would do everything he could to regain power. Only then could Su Wulei live well. As long as Su Wulei could live, the Su Clan's future would still be boundless.
Su Wulei's heart shook. She was only a Martial Apprentice now and did not have much sense of belonging to the Su family. However, when she saw her great-grandfather's expectant gaze, she suddenly hesitated.
"Great-grandfather, as long as it doesn't exceed Wulei's ability, Wulei is willing to protect the Su family's direct descendants.”Su Wulei said.
She had always kept her promises, and this one sentence would determine her future. She said that she would protect the direct descendants, not the entire Su family.
"Good child, you're very good. The direct descendants of the Smiths will never let you down!”The old man's warm hand pulled Su Wulei toward the Su Residence. Su Wulei could faintly feel the old man's arm trembling.
A dilapidated hall appeared in front of Su Wulei. At this time, it was already brightly lit. Dozens of men, women, and children were gathered outside the hall.
"Greetings, Grand Elder and Eldest Miss!”When everyone saw Su Wulei and the old man arrive, they knelt down in unison.
"All of you, get up. You can enter according to your seniority.”The old man waved his hand and pulled Su Wulei's sleeve, striding into the hall.
Vaguely, Su Wulei raised his head and saw the plaque above: Su Family's ancestral hall!
Only the ancestral halls of the direct line of descent of the Su family could be called the ancestral hall of the Su family. The ancestral halls of the other branches would indicate the ancestral hall of a certain branch of the Su family.
Of course, the Su family only had one ancestral hall in the past. It was unknown when, but the ancestral hall of the Su family began to split into factions. It could be seen that the Su family's internal hidden dangers had long been buried.
The old man first brought Su Wulei to pay his respects to the ancestral tablets, which could be considered as admitting that Su Wulei would be the future leader of the Su family. Then, he began to invite the direct descendants in order.
Su Wulei originally didn't have a good impression of these direct descendants. Back then, until his original body was killed, none of these people stood up for him.
However, when all the members of the direct bloodline entered the ancestral hall, her calm heart began to waver, instantly breaking the image she had of the direct bloodline for many years.
The Su family was one of the three major families in Feng City, but who would have thought that such a group of people were actually the direct descendants of the Su family? In the past, when the original body was left behind in the back mountain and was bullied every day, at least there were people who sent food and clothing.
However, these people were actually dressed worse than servants. Su Li was the only elder of the direct bloodline, and his tattered clothes were actually the best among the direct bloodline.
As Su Li introduced them, some of these clansmen were Su Wulei's elders, some were of the same generation, and some children even called her aunt.
None of them could obtain the Su family's cultivation resources. Even their daily necessities would be deducted by the collateral relatives. In order to survive, they could only do things that even the servants were unwilling to do to make a living.
When a child wearing a pair of tattered straw sandals, whose feet were so cold that they were purple, walked towards her and knelt down to call her young miss, her heart ached and her eyes were filled with killing intent.
"You're not worthy of the Su family's surname!”She secretly gritted her teeth.
How could a clansman with such a bloodline help her back then?
Without cultivation resources, their cultivation would be very weak. With a weak cultivation, it would be even more difficult to obtain cultivation resources.
This was a vicious cycle. As a result, among the direct descendants, other than the Supreme Elder and Su Li, there was not a single person who had surpassed the third level of the Martial Apprentice.
Su Wulei remained silent.# Daguan Review Passed: Daguan Time:082820187:49PM
