If you think about it carefully, he has lived in this world for nearly twenty years, since the year he met Lu Qingyan.
From as far back as he could remember, he had never seen those two people, his nominal parents. The person who raised him was an old man, whom he always thought was his grandfather. The first thing he was told when he was four or five years old and became sensible was his background.
“I’m not your grandfather. I only adopted you because of some connection with your parents. They passed away unexpectedly, and I’ll take you to see them in a couple of days. I see you have some talent; would you like to become my apprentice?”
Xi Bo kowtowed respectfully, and as a result, his seniority was raised.
He was indeed extraordinary; after only a few days of practice, he sensed that magical spiritual energy. His master was also surprised when he saw him, but after the surprise, his eyes filled with tears: "Good child, good child, you are the hope of our generation."
At that time, he could not understand his master's meaning, but this also spurred him to cultivate diligently.
When he was eight years old, one of his junior disciples appeared before his master holding a baby girl and pleaded repeatedly, "Grandmaster, your disciple knows he was wrong. Please save her life. She is still so young!"
His usually kind master interrupted him sharply, striking him with a palm that made him vomit blood. His hands trembled with rage: "How could my sect have such a scoundrel as you! From now on, if any enemy comes to kill us, don't say you have any relation to me. I'll deal with you first! Forget it, I think someone like you should purify yourself of worldly desires and become a monk at Huian Temple!"
A few words sealed that person's future identity and life, making the originally young man age considerably in an instant, but the master still saved the baby girl.
"I will arrange for her to be adopted by a family. What her future holds will depend on how much retribution you inflict on her for the sins you have committed." The white-haired master closed his eyes and shooed the man away.
Later, he learned that his junior apprentice had used evil magic to steal a lot of luck for her daughter, who was supposed to die young, and had even caused the death of someone. However, her daughter was too weak to withstand it, and she would have died if her master hadn't intervened. That's why he reported the matter to his master.
At the age of twelve, his cultivation had surpassed that of his master, but for some reason, his body suddenly stopped growing. This greatly worried his master, who, in order not to be regarded as an outcast, had no choice but to hide away. He went to Phoenix Mountain, where he suddenly had more opportunities to see his monk nephew.
He had always thought he would remain in this boyish form for the rest of his life, but unexpectedly, at the age of twenty, he followed his heart's calling and went to a small town where he met the love of his life. They went through the years of growing up together, and it was then that he was surprised to discover that his body could actually grow!
Later, he learned that the baby girl was Su Meiren, who was indeed the old monk's daughter whom he hadn't seen for many years.
However, none of these things concerned him; what he cared about now was his Xin'er.
My master, of course, adored Xiao Xin'er, and always treated her warmly whenever she visited. Unfortunately, my father-in-law doesn't seem to like me very much.
Mr. Xiao (tears streaming down his face): If I had known that the big bad wolf who snatched my daughter was the same one I had so warmly invited in back then, I should never have let him into the house!
Xi Bo: Sigh, my father-in-law is indeed the hardest person in the world to please. But luckily, my wife is helping to persuade him.
