Upon hearing Zhou Gousheng's voice, Zhou Xiaoyun's face turned pale instantly.

She didn't even dare to turn around and look at the old man she always cared about the most.

She had witnessed everything the other party had done over the past two weeks.

From the moment the other party first killed his own son with his own hands, sucking him dry until he was just a human skin.

Zhou Xiaoyun knew that the old man who had loved her the most since childhood had gone mad.

He is no longer himself; he is a living devil.

"Xiaoyun, put me down."

He spoke in a weak voice, but Xiao Xuanchen remained calm throughout.

Zhou Xiaoyun did not answer, but she did not do so either.

Instead, he lowered his head and said in a trembling voice, "Grandpa, please let us go."

Xuan Chen can no longer be your enemy, nor can he help you anymore.

A few days ago you took him to the Zhou family, and he was already very seriously injured.

He has lost his usefulness. If you are still the grandfather I remember, then please let us go.

Even if it's Xiaoyun... please.

In the end, large tears slid down Zhou Xiaoyun's face.

At the same time, she slowly turned around and looked at Zhou Gousheng.

The moonlight cast a soft glow on her face, making it glisten with tears.

Zhou Gousheng quietly looked at his granddaughter, his old eyes unseen in the darkness.

His white hair also made his face appear dark, obscuring his expression.

It wasn't until some time later that Zhou Gousheng spoke calmly.

But what she said filled Zhou Xiaoyun with utter despair.

"Xiaoyun, you're a young lady now, you should understand that some things these days aren't up to your grandfather to decide."

In the past, Grandpa would have agreed to any request you made.

But now, Grandpa can no longer do what he used to.

Be good, go back to Grandpa's side.

You know, Grandpa can kill anyone, but he will never hurt you.

Xiao Xuanchen is ultimately just an outsider. Although he is your husband in name only, you and he do not have a marital relationship.

Is it really worth standing against your grandfather for a man?

As long as we stand by Grandpa's side, when that great man is truly resurrected in the future, our Zhou family will be far more powerful than we are now.

With your status and position by then, what kind of man couldn't you find? You'll forget him very quickly.

Every word Zhou Gousheng uttered was like the devil's whisper, full of allure, trying to make Zhou Xiaoyun change her mind.

But his granddaughter remained unmoved after hearing his words.

It's like they've been given a magic potion; they're completely out of it.

He's like a stubborn person, unable to think straight.

With disappointment in her eyes, Zhou Xiaoyun took a step back, shaking her head, wanting to tell Zhou Gousheng that everything he had done was wrong.

But she knew that saying anything more now would be useless.

Her grandfather had changed; he had become callous and cold-blooded, willing to do anything to achieve his goals.

"Grandpa, this is the last time I'll call you Grandpa. If you really won't let me and Xuan Chen go, then just kill us both today."

Despite her tear-streaked face, Zhou Xiaoyun's expression was more resolute than ever before.

Even just looking into her eyes made Zhou Gousheng feel uneasy.

He never imagined that the little girl who had grown up under his wing would have such a resolute side.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoyun's current state, Zhou Gousheng's expression was indescribable.

He wanted to say something more, but he couldn't bring himself to say it.

Zhou Xiaoyun's words really touched him.

She's really going to break off all ties with him today; this isn't just talk.

He could sense her seriousness; she was truly prepared to die alongside the man behind her, even if it meant death.

And this... really... really disappointed him!

A deep look of disappointment flashed in his eyes.

Zhou Gousheng suddenly realized that he had really made mistakes all these years.

He misjudged it...

His granddaughter, on whom he had placed so much hope, was actually even more useless than her uncles!

In the first place, he shouldn't have tried to cultivate Zhou Xiaoyun.

This way, there will be no sunk costs, and he won't be soft-hearted towards her all the time!

This good-for-nothing doesn't deserve all the effort he puts in.

Looking at Zhou Xiaoyun's fair face again, Zhou Gousheng had never felt so disgusted at this moment!

"Okay, okay!"

Three consecutive sounds, as if he were extremely angry, Zhou Gousheng's tongue sounds were like thunder.

"Since you're willing to abandon your grandfather for some random man, I'll just pretend I never raised this shameful brat."

Since you want to die with him, then I'll grant your wish and kill you first!

A powerful aura erupted from Zhou Gousheng instantly, his hair flying wildly, like a madman.

At the same time, his white hair began to slowly turn black, and his life force began to grow stronger.

"You worthless bastard, you are just as useless as your dead father!"

I'm so grateful that I've never mistreated you all these years. I've gone to great lengths to protect you, treat you well, nurture you, and even considered you my successor.

Is this how you repay this old man?

With a voice as cold as a knife, Zhou Gousheng approached step by step, leaving footprints on the bluestone bricks with each step.

At the same time, his aged skin began to become firm again.

He is regaining his youth; youth is slowly returning to him!
