Chapter 1148 Why don’t you call me Grandpa?

After Huo Zhiyan finished speaking, there was silence all around.

Indeed, no one can answer this question, and no one knows what they are thinking.

It was Ye Linglong in Shen Lixian's arms who spoke first.

"Second Brother, please go in."

"No, I can't leave you alone when you're so injured."

"I don't need you to take care of the wounded. The opportunity is right in front of you, don't miss it, otherwise we may not have such an opportunity again to fulfill your mother's last wish and untie all the knots in your heart."

"and you…"

"The Underground Palace suddenly changed its owner, Manshuqi was seriously injured, and the Higanbana tribe has no time to care about me. I will wait for you in the yard where I live."

"Okay." Shen Lixian agreed.

"Cousin Huo, Cousin Fang, could you please take the trouble to stay outside and help my second brother if anything unexpected happens?"

"nature."

"Don't worry, cousin, take good care of yourself. We will come back to find you when this is over." Fang Gaofei said, patting his chest.

"Thank you, cousin Huo and cousin Fang."

Su Yunxiu walked over and took Ye Linglong from Shen Lixian.

"Second Brother, go ahead and I'll watch you."

Shen Lixian nodded, took a deep breath, and walked into the hall that was controlled by Huo Zhiyan's magic.

After he entered, Huo Zhiyan turned to Gao Fei and said, "You keep watch. This spell has already reached its peak. I will repair it as soon as possible."

"good."

Seeing Shen Lixian go in, Ye Linglong and Su Yunxiu left.

The entire hall was wrapped in a layer of strange light. When Shen Lixian walked in, the hall was still the same hall, but he could clearly feel that he had entered another world.

The light kept spinning in the hall, and he saw the Flower King sitting in the middle of the hall at a glance.

He rested his head on the table with one hand, his eyes closed, and looked like he was asleep.

Such a big thing happened to the Red Spider Lily Clan, but he slept peacefully here as if nothing had happened.

Shen Lixian couldn't tell what he felt until Hua Wang slowly opened his eyes after hearing footsteps.

"You're here."

The first sentence he said confirmed the junior sister's guess that the reason why he could leave but didn't was to wait for him here.

Kao rubbed his eyes. With his young face, he looked like a teenager who just woke up from a nap and refused to practice martial arts properly. It was easy for people to let down their guard.

But Shen Lixian knew that this person was definitely not who he appeared to be.

Kao glanced at the teacup next to his desk.

"The tea has gone cold."

Seeing that he didn't get to the point, Shen Lixian was worried about his junior sister and didn't want to practice Tai Chi with him anymore.

"Kao, I came here to ask you something."

"Why don't you call me grandpa? Are you feeling resentful?"

Shen Lixian was stunned.

Although he knew intellectually that Kao was his grandfather, emotionally this man was just a stranger to him.

"Do you know my identity?"

"I had my first guess when I saw you in the hall, but I was sure when you guys teamed up to trap me here. Child, you finally came back."

"So that's why you've been waiting for me in this hall?"

"You want to see Grandpa, so Grandpa won't refuse you. But Grandpa wants you to call me, are you really unwilling to do so?"

Shen Lixian was silent for a long time. Although he was not comfortable with it and had not thought about establishing any relatives, he still compromised.

If not for myself, then for my mother.

"Grandpa."

"Okay, okay, you are a good child, unlike Shuqi, who has too many thoughts."

Kao smiled and seemed to be in a good mood.

"Why didn't she come in and save you?"

"Because she wanted me to die in there."

Shen Lixian was surprised when he heard this, but the smile on his face did not disappear, as if he had known all this and accepted it a long time ago.

"and you…"

"You mean to ask, since I know she wants me dead, why should I tolerate her?"

"yes."

"My child, this world is not black and white. She really wants me dead, because I am the last and biggest obstacle for her to rule the Flower Clan. As long as I am here, she cannot be crowned.

But I didn't deal with her because she is currently the most suitable heir to the Higanbana tribe. She is thoughtful, ruthless, and ruthless, and she is qualified for this position.

Moreover, even if she really wanted me dead, she wouldn't take the initiative to harm me because she wasn't 100% sure of success. In that case, I'll just pretend I don't know about her thoughts."

Shen Lixian's brows were tightly furrowed.

From what Kao said, this Mansuqi is not a good person.

But deep down he felt that Kao was not much better. Although he let him call him grandpa, there was no intimacy between them.

"But it's different now." The smile on Hua Wang's face remained: "You have seized control of the underground palace. Although you have not been introduced to the Higanbana tribe, you are already the real heir. Shuqi has been running it for many years, but in the end he still lost to you."

"You know everything that's going on outside?"

"I am old, not dead, and my cultivation has reached the stage of transcending tribulation. I have been in power of the Higanbana tribe for so many years. How could I not know what happened right under my nose?"

Hua Wang smiled and said, "Li Xian, don't underestimate your grandfather."

Shen Lixian did not dare to underestimate him.

Fortunately, the junior sister had mentioned many speculations before so that he could be mentally prepared. Otherwise, seeing Kao like this now, he might really need a lot of time to accept it.

"I didn't look down on Grandpa, I just felt sad that he was sitting in the palace and controlling the whole city." Shen Lixian said, "So, you also know that we were chased to the underground palace by Man Shuqi."

"I know a little bit."

Kao has admitted this.

In other words, he knew clearly that the younger brothers were fighting each other, but he could still sit here and wait for them to decide the winner, and his junior sister guessed it again.

"You are less than sixty years old, but I never thought you could seize control of the underground palace under Shuqi's control. Your methods, courage, and strength have surpassed Shuqi, who is over a thousand years old. This rising star is amazing!"

Kao smiled.

"After waiting for so many years, my Red Spider Lily tribe finally has such a talented and stunning person. God has been very kind to my Red Spider Lily tribe!"

Shen Lixian didn't want to hear him bragging about how talented he was, because although he had seized control of the underground palace with his own hands, it was his junior sister who bought him time at the cost of her life.

He could not identify with Kao, so he did not feel much moved when he heard his praise.

"Grandpa, when my mother and uncle passed away, she asked me to come back to see you."

Kao nodded.

"She still cares about the Higanbana tribe, and indeed gave birth to a very capable son for them."

"Then why does the Higanbana tribe want to kill us all?" Shen Lixian asked.
