Damn it! I turned around and sure enough, it was my grandma. She had been resting there just now, but now she was standing right behind me.
Right at the doorway, its eyes were fixed on me and my grandfather.
"Xiao Yan, who do you really believe?"
My grandfather asked me a question, and I felt his voice, because it was so familiar to me, and his kind eyes—I will never forget them in my life.
I closed my eyes and began to think about the loopholes. Just now, Lei Jijian told me that both my grandfather and my grandmother could feel a kind of bloodline power from them.
The reason I can sense them is because I have a special contract with Lei Jijian, which allows me to sense my grandparents.
I continued to send a telepathic message to the Thunder Strike Sword, but it was no longer responding.
I cursed him as a useless piece of trash in my heart. This Lei Jijian is usually very bold and dares to say anything, but now that my grandma has woken up, he's completely cowered.
Suddenly, a terrifying possibility occurred to me: the Thunder Strike Sword's judgment must have been wrong. The Thunder Strike Sword could not only determine my bloodline, but also its own!
After all, the true form of the Thunder Strike Sword is the Owl God. No matter what it is, as long as it is a living being, it is raised by its parents.
I have relatives, and this Thunder Strike Sword should have them too. However, the relatives of these strange beasts should be very old, or rather, long gone.
"Lightning Sword, stop playing dead! I know who this is. This guy must be someone to you!"
I quickly sent a telepathic message to Lei Jijian.
Lei Jijian became furious immediately after hearing this.
"Oh my god, Master, this can't be right! My parents have been dead for who knows how many years!"
Lei Jijian's voice was full of surprise, clearly indicating that this guy quite agreed with what I was saying.
I rolled my eyes and said that since it could sense a more obvious bloodline aura from my grandmother, it could also sense a faint bloodline aura from my grandfather.
That means one person is close to me, and the other person is close to him.
As clearly stated in my booklet, only one of them is a relative of mine.
Therefore, after weighing all the factors, I believe this is the best explanation.
After hearing what I said, the Thunder Strike Sword fell silent, and then floated up from my body.
The meaning of "Lightning Sword" is quite clear: it directly acknowledges what I said.
"He is my grandfather! There is no doubt about that!"
I turned to look at my grandmother, then pointed at my grandfather.
"As for you, you should be my senior!"
When I faced my grandmother, my expression became respectful.
A satisfied look appeared on the old lady's face, and I knew I must have been right.
"I never expected a kid like you to have such a sharp judgment. I thought you would need to think for a long time to figure it out!"
The old woman's face showed that eerie smile, which then returned to normal.
When I turned around to let my grandfather in, I was surprised to find that he was gone.
"Alright, stop looking. How did you figure out I was connected to that guy?"
The old lady gestured for me to stop looking and instead posed a crucial question.
The guy the old lady was talking about must be the lightning sword.
I stood there, my eyes fixed on the old woman, and finally spoke slowly, telling her about my intuition.
"Not bad, you're very good!"
The old lady simply smiled and said that one sentence before disappearing into the yard.
I was dumbfounded. This isn't going according to the script at all!
According to the script, the old lady should have come up to me and told me the whole story.
Then, properly reunite with Lei Jijian, and finally leave behind some good things. Only then can it be considered a perfect ending!
But this was completely different from what I had imagined. The old lady disappeared right after saying two sentences.
"My goodness, Master, you're absolutely right! You're a genius!"
The lightning sword hovered in front of me, its tone filled with admiration. As it turned out, my judgment was absolutely correct.
After the old lady left, I was surprised to find that the kitten had also turned into a young girl.
"Does this mean we've passed the test?"
I looked back at Yiyi. After this transformation, I found that Yiyi seemed to be more beautiful than before, and she was also much taller than before. Now she was almost the same height as me.
"It seems so, but if the assessment is actually passed, this courtyard should disappear!"
Yiyi nodded, but her brows furrowed deeply. She told me that things were probably not that simple.
I agree with what Yiyi said.
"Alright, now that the old lady is gone, the biggest obstacle has disappeared. I need to find a way to worship the beast god inside!"
I took a deep breath and looked inside through the window.
I've always been bothered by that statue inside, and now I just want to take another look at it to see if it really looks the way I remember it.
"Come on! I believe in you, brother!"
Yiyi took my hand and followed me inside.
I took all the pork with me when I passed by the stove.
These pork pieces were all tributes.
My memories are surfacing little by little. I vaguely remember that when I was little, my grandfather would always prepare a lot of meat for the offerings.
"Oh, and fruit too!"
My eyes lit up. How could I have forgotten this most crucial piece of information?
In the past, my grandfather would always prepare a lot of meat and all kinds of fruits for the offerings.
We have meat now, but we're lacking fruit. I need to figure out a way to get some fruit.
I stared at the apricot tree in the yard.
Unfortunately, almost all of these fruits are still green. Although they are almost ripe, it would be a desecration to offer unripe fruit to the gods.
But the most crucial problem is that the only fruit we can get so far is this kind of green apricot.
I quickly opened the booklet, and it still contained the same sentence: one must not be disrespectful to the gods.
While I was struggling with this, it suddenly occurred to me that the clock could be adjusted to keep track of time!
Since time can be accelerated by 4 hours, it's not impossible to make the apricot trees in the yard ripen quickly.
Thinking of this, I put down the meat and rushed to my grandfather's room, where I jumped up and took the clock down.
I took the clock out, and at that moment the clock started speeding up again.
Just as I expected, the closer we got to the apricot tree, the faster the clock spun, and in the blink of an eye, the outside world turned a pale white.
