Volume 1, Chapter 116 My grandpa is gone, isn’t that dead?

Ye Tingmu walked out of the house, grabbed Feng He's sleeve and headed towards the mountain gate.

"Second brother, let's go."

Feng He looked confused and asked, "Brother, why are you in such a hurry?"

When did his elder brother become so impulsive? Could it be that he offended the old man in the pavilion?

Dongfang Qingzhu watched the two men pass by her and leave.

I was stunned at first.

Then he shouted to the bamboo house, "Old Ancestor, Qingzhu will leave today and come to see you another day."

After saying that, he chased after the two people in front of him.

As she trotted along, holding up her skirt, she kept shouting, "Wait for me."

Several people hurriedly walked out of the mountain gate of Banyueju, and Ye Tingmu slowed down his pace.

His hand gently stroked the long sword at his waist, and the corners of his eyes curved slightly, as if he was smiling.

This scene naturally fell into the eyes of Feng He and Dongfang Qingzhu.

The two of them were standing by the cold pond when they saw the sword soaring into the air.

Naturally, I also know that this sword is extraordinary.

Feng He asked, "Brother, was this sword given to you by that old man?"

Ye Tingmu said proudly: "Yeah, it's okay."

Dongfang Qing came over and curled her lips.

There was a hint of jealousy in his tone.

"My ancestor is rarely so generous. He actually gave you a sword. Sigh."

Ye Tingmu disagreed and sighed.

"Oh, there's nothing I can do. Who made me so outstanding?"

"What about the face..."

The three of them walked down the mountain.

Going down the mountain was naturally much easier than going up, and soon the three of them had arrived at the foot of the mountain.

Yue Mingfeng did not wait for them, probably he had left a long time ago.

It was already late at night.

The stars above are shining brightly.

The crescent moon hangs high in the sky.

Ye Tingmu got on his horse and said to the two of them, "Let's go, it's time to go back for dinner."

The two nodded and mounted their horses as well.

The three of them slowly walked towards the Dongfang family compound.

Under the moonlight, Ye Tingmu asked, "Qingzhu, why does your ancestor stay on that mountain? Doesn't he usually come down?"

Dongfang Qingzhu held the reins and replied leisurely, "I don't know. As far as I can remember, the ancestor has never come down the mountain. My father told me that the ancestor has stayed in the mountain for thirty-five years and has never come down once."

Feng He raised his eyebrows when he heard this and asked in confusion, "More than 30 years? Won't he feel suffocated?"

Dongfang Qingzhu rolled his eyes at him.

"If you ask me, who should I ask? I want to know too."

Ye Tingmu didn't respond. He was curious why Dongfang Shuozi stayed on the mountain for thirty-five years, so he planned to ask. Now it seems that Dongfang Qingzhu doesn't know either.

However, these saints have lived for so many years, so naturally their temperaments are a bit strange. Most of them like to live in seclusion and are unknown to the world.

When everyone thought he was dead, he suddenly appeared and caught you off guard.

Although it is strange, it is not incomprehensible.

Maybe this old man has his own ideas, or maybe he has his own reasons.

The three of them continued on their way without saying a word.

Ye Tingmu's gaze was always directed towards Feng He, intentionally or unintentionally.

Thinking back on everything I heard today, I made up my mind.

Second brother, if you are really the prince, don't worry. In thirteen years, I will break through the ninth realm and will definitely take back the throne for you.

No one can take away what belongs to you.

"By the way, Qingzhu, has no one in your family ever met His Majesty?"

Dongfang Qingzhu tilted his little head and thought seriously.

Then he said, "Yes, my grandfather has seen it."

"What about your grandfather? Why haven't I seen him during the day?" Ye Tingmu continued to ask.

Although Dongfang Shuo gave him Lin Xu's address, it was related to Feng He and involved the royal family.

If you really ask this person, the news will inevitably leak out.

If things are really as I thought, then I will be in big trouble.

The Third Prince had already seen Feng He during the day, so he must have been wary.

If I ask again now, it will only confirm the other party's guess.

It is not necessary to take action against them.

After all, he is the Third Prince. Although this place is not Kyoto, it is not difficult for him to send some experts to kill them.

But the Dongfang family is different. After all, he has done them a favor. And he can see that no matter whether it is Dongfang Qinghu whom he met in Shangyun, or Dongfang Yuan, or Dongfang Shuo, the Dongfang ancestor in Banyueju, they all appreciate him very much.

Especially since Dongfang Shuo gave the sword as a gift, his intention to win him over was obvious.

So it is certain that I will not harm them.

If you can get the answer you want just by asking them, that would be perfect.

In fact, he left in such a hurry.

I just worry about my younger brothers and sisters.

Although he is in the Dongfang family, he is naturally fearless as he is protected by Dahei.

But nothing can be foolproof.

If the other party has the intention to kill, I will never let him go even if I kill him by mistake.

The third prince will most likely take action against them.

Of course, all this is still speculation.

We need to investigate thoroughly and know the whole story before we can be sure.

When mentioning his grandfather, Ye Tingmu could see that Dongfang Qingzhu's expression became noticeably gloomy.

There was a hint of sadness in the corners of his eyes.

Seeing this, Ye Tingmu thought, could he be dead?

At this time, Dongfang Qingzhu spoke.

"My grandfather passed away when I was ten years old..."

Her tone was still low, and filled with unspeakable sadness and desolation.

Ye Tingmu also realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

But Feng He suddenly said something.

"Is he dead?"

Ye Tingmu was not polite at all and gave him a pat on the head from between the two horses.

"What nonsense are you talking about? That's called passing away, or nirvana, not death or immortality."

Feng He scratched his head and rolled his eyes.

"Isn't that what it means?"

Ye Tingmu was both angry and helpless. His second brother had an extremely low EQ.

Even if it's half of mine, that would be fine.

But I couldn't find any words to refute him, he really meant the same thing.

"Hey, you..."

Looking at the two brothers like this, Dongfang Qingzhu burst out laughing.

Ye Tingmu and Feng He turned their heads to look at her at the same time.

There is a strange look in their eyes.

Ye Tingmu even complained in his heart, what's wrong with this kid? How can she be so careless? She can actually laugh at such a topic as her own grandfather's death?

Then did you have to put on a heartbroken expression just now?

Dongfang Qingzhu was so smart that he naturally saw the doubts of the two brothers.

"I said my grandfather was gone, but I didn't say he was dead."

The two were stunned and exclaimed at the same time.

Ye Tingmu cut lightly.

"Tsk... I thought I said something wrong, but it's hard not to misunderstand you when you're like that, okay?"

Dongfang Qingzhu pursed her lips and looked at the stars in the sky, and the sad expression on her pretty face appeared again.

"Actually, I don't know if my grandfather is still alive. I only know that he went to a very dangerous place, and all this happened because of me. I pray for my grandfather every day, praying that he is safe and returns safely..."
