After turning his head, he discovered that the person massaging his shoulders was Mo Shisheng. Shangguan Leiting quickly pulled Mo Shisheng's hand and made her sit next to him.
"Yan'er, what brings you here?"
“I came to see Grandpa about something, and seeing you writing, I didn’t want to disturb you.” Mo Shisheng’s lips curled slightly as she tilted her head to look at the words written on the white paper on the table. After recognizing that they were all about medicinal herbs, Mo Shisheng frowned slightly. “Grandpa knows about medicinal herbs?”
"How does Yan'er know these are medicinal herbs?" Shangguan Leiting was arguably the person who knew Mo Shisheng best. Ever since she was brought back, she had been kept secluded in her chambers, rarely venturing out. How could she possibly recognize these medicinal herbs?
“Grandpa, since you brought me back, I have everything that others have, and even better things than them. But Grandpa, is this really what I want?” Mo Shisheng tilted her head slightly, a faint smile in her eyes, and looked gently at Shangguan Leiting.
"Grandpa, you know very well that being the only direct descendant of the Shangguan family poses many threats to me. If I hadn't learned more, how could I have grown up in this compound?"
Mo Shisheng did all this to avoid arousing Shangguan Leiting's suspicion. Besides exploiting Shangguan Leiting's guilt towards Shangguan Yan, Mo Shisheng couldn't help but secretly complain to herself: How did Shangguan Yan, who is so stupid, survive to this age?
However, after hearing Mo Shisheng's words, Shangguan Leiting also fell into a brief moment of contemplation. After a while, he raised his hand, took the blank sheet of paper he had just written on, and handed it to Mo Shisheng. "Yan'er, do you know what the medicinal herbs are used for?"
Mo Shisheng had only glanced at it casually, only knowing that it contained the names of medicinal herbs. It wasn't until Shangguan Leiting handed the white paper to her that Mo Shisheng lowered her eyes and looked at it carefully.
After reading it, Mo Shisheng's eyes held a complex look. "Grandpa, do you know?"
"After this incident, Grandpa will naturally pay attention to your health." Shangguan Leiting smiled gently. "Your father is a genius. He reached the ninth level of Foundation Establishment at the age of thirteen, and he didn't need to do anything after that. He is the only person in the Xuan Yun Continent to reach the fifth level of Core Formation at the age of seventeen."
"It's a pity that fate plays tricks on people. Even heroes can't resist the charms of a beautiful woman. I only thought that your mother would hinder your father's career, but I forgot that our Shangguan family are all men of iron will!" When Shangguan Leiting arrived here, there seemed to be tears glistening in his cloudy eyes. He placed his large hand on Mo Shisheng's shoulder. "Grandpa is sorry for you. I brought you back but failed to protect you."
"..."
A wave of indescribable sadness welled up in Mo Shisheng's heart. She realized that this was how the original owner of the body felt about her grandfather.
She sighed softly and patted Shangguan Leiting on the back. "Grandpa, Father and Mother have only been away for a long time. If you trust me, I will definitely bring them back to see you."
"..."
Shangguan Leiting stiffened slightly. He slowly raised his eyes to look at Shangguan Yan, a kind smile appearing on his aged face. "Good, good! You are becoming more and more like your father. Yan'er, you must remember, I will not offend others unless they offend me, but if they offend me, I will repay them a hundredfold!"
"Don't worry, I will."
Mo Shisheng nodded slightly, a fleeting glint of coldness in her eyes. She naturally understood this principle.
