"How could that be? Grandpa Long would never lie to you. I never lie."
Don't listen to your dad's nonsense; he has Alzheimer's and he's just making things up.
Sigh - Alzheimer's - Somber: ? ? ?
He looked at the old man's silver hair and weathered face, and choked up for a moment.
Shen Nanxing stared intently at the old man.
Only when the old man casually picked up his teacup, trying to cover up his embarrassment by drinking water, did he look away and return his gaze to Shen Su.
When Shen Su met his gaze, he felt flustered, quickly lowered his head, cleared his throat, and explained in a calm voice.
"You must have already noticed that there's something wrong with the Lin family."
"Hmm," Shen Nanxing responded faintly.
"They have someone backing them."
"There are others?" Shen Nanxing straightened his expression and asked in a deep voice, "Who are they?"
Shen Su's hands, which were resting on his knees, suddenly clenched into fists. "The Bi family!"

Shen Nanxing's eyes flickered slightly as he searched through his memories, but he couldn't find any information about the Bi family.

The six families and the royal family at the time sent out countless people to search for the younger members of the Bi family, but all to no avail.
Hundreds of years have passed in the blink of an eye, and we have gradually lowered our guard and stopped tracking the whereabouts of the Bi family.
It wasn't until recently, when six families were arrested, the edge of Star City collapsed, and then some survivors suddenly became agitated, along with strange mutated creatures, that we remembered them again.
"Is this why you treat me coldly and despise me?"
Shen Nanxing's expression grew increasingly cold, his face filled with sarcasm.
“No,” Shen Su quickly shook his head, “I’m just giving you some background information so you won’t get confused later.”
