For some reason, Grandpa didn't mention the heavenly calamity that happened later. He just told me not to think about it too much and that the most important thing now was to repair the jade pendant.
Knowing about this didn't make me too nervous, because being nervous wouldn't help. If someone with such extraordinary abilities insisted on killing me, there was nothing I could do. However, I was even more grateful to that Daoist Lu Chen. If I knew who he was and where he was, I would definitely have to go and thank him properly.
However, as Grandpa said, the most important thing now is to first resolve the hidden dangers within the wood, and then make other plans.
It's as if I've stumbled into a completely unfamiliar world, where I have to start all over again with all the common sense and knowledge. And once I've stepped into this world, there's no way I can walk away unscathed; I can only slowly grope my way forward.

Grandpa hid these emotions very well, perhaps because he didn't want me to be sad. After all, other children have parents, but I don't.
When I was little, I didn't think too much about it. I just felt that there was a reason why my grandfather didn't tell me; it was for my own good.
I still think so now. It's just that I couldn't understand my grandfather's emotions when I was a child, but now I can understand them, so I can guess some things.
When I suddenly asked that question, Grandpa's expression suddenly became very complicated, with that indescribable feeling.
Grandpa still didn't say anything. I didn't want to upset him, but I felt that I should be able to understand some things by now.
