The old man was taken aback, and thought to himself, "This little girl is so amazing!"
He had been tormented by the Soul-Devouring Powder for many years, and he was only alive to search for his granddaughter.
Over the years, he has tried every possible method, but he has only been able to barely suppress the toxins in his body.
However, this seemingly ordinary little girl was able to easily sense his physical condition and even help him suppress the poison of the Soul-Devouring Powder, which was truly astonishing.
Seeing that the old man remained silent, Shen Yunsheng smiled gently. “Grandpa! You don’t need to worry that I will hurt you. The reason I asked you about the Soul-Devouring Powder is mainly to help you regain your memories.”
The old man couldn't help but look at the little girl with newfound respect, thinking that she must possess extraordinary medical skills and unique treatment methods. Perhaps, she was the one sent by heaven to save him.
Thinking of this, a glimmer of hope shone in the old man's eyes. He decided to trust the little girl and see if she truly had the ability to cure his chronic illness.
So the old man took a deep breath and slowly said, "Child, now that you know about my condition, please tell me, do you have a way to completely cure me?"
Shen Yunsheng's face lit up with joy. The old man spoke clearly and logically, which meant that he might have regained his memory.
"Grandpa, although I haven't completely removed the toxins from your body, if you are willing to cooperate, you can recover your health in less than a month."
"Child, don't worry, I won't let you work in vain." The old man excitedly grabbed Shen Yunsheng's hand. The more he looked at the child, the more he felt that she looked exactly like his deceased wife when she was young.
"Grandpa! I don't want your money. I'll be content as long as you live a good life."
Shen Yunsheng smiled faintly. She helped the old man cure his illness, and the system gave her merit points, which was already the greatest reward.
The old man's eyes welled up with tears. He gently stroked Shen Yunsheng's cheek, feeling her warm skin.
Shen Yunsheng was startled by the old man's actions, but at the same time, he felt his sincerity and kindness towards him.
"Child, I heard from Granny Yang that you are an orphan? Have you ever thought about finding your biological parents?"
The old man withdrew his hand and asked kindly.
He thought, how wonderful it would be if this child were his granddaughter!
Shen Yunsheng looked at the old man quietly, a strange sense of warmth welling up in his heart.
I'm also very curious why the old man would bring up her biological parents.
"Master! Could this old man be your real grandfather?" 007 suddenly spoke, startling Shen Yunsheng.
"This...how is this possible? The old man mistook me for Youyou before because his memory was messed up."
"Anything is possible. I think your eyes look a lot like the old man's. Maybe he really is your relative!"
007 carefully examined Shen Yunsheng and the old man, and he felt that they looked very much like grandfather and grandson.
Seeing Shen Yunsheng's dejected expression, the old man gently comforted her, "Child, I was impolite just now, please don't take it to heart."
“Grandpa! To be honest, my memory before the age of six is completely blank. Apart from the jade pendant I always carry with me, I can’t find anything else related to my biological parents.”
Shen Yunsheng smiled bitterly. The person who wanted to find her family was the original owner of this body. Although the original owner had a loving adoptive father, she still wanted to know where she came from and who her biological parents were.
"Child, can you let me see your jade pendant?"
The old man couldn't wait to ask Shen Yunsheng's opinion; he so desperately wanted the girl in front of him to be his granddaughter.
Seeing that the old man meant no harm, Shen Yunsheng took out the jade pendant she always carried and handed it to him with a smile.
"Grandpa! Don't worry, even if I'm not your biological granddaughter, I will still take good care of you. Please stay at my house with peace of mind during this time."
Shen Yunsheng smiled and comforted the old man. When the old man lost his memory, he couldn't remember anyone except his granddaughter, which showed that he really loved the girl named Youyou.
The old man was stunned the moment he received the jade pendant. His hands trembled involuntarily, and his eyes were filled with disbelief and excitement. He held the jade pendant tightly, carefully examining every detail.
He was very familiar with this jade pendant. It was not only a family heirloom of the Tantai family, but also a token of authority for commanding the Divine Dragon Army.
He gave it to his granddaughter not only because he liked her, but also because he felt she was very suitable to be the Dragon Lord of the Divine Dragon Palace.
Seeing the tears glistening in the old man's eyes, Shen Yunsheng asked gently, "Grandpa! Do you recognize this jade pendant?"
The old man nodded excitedly. This jade pendant was his personal possession. After his granddaughter was born, he gave the jade pendant to her. It was the only one of its kind in the world.
He was 100% certain that the woman in front of him was his long-lost granddaughter.
“Child, I…I am your grandfather.”
The old man was already in tears. He gently stroked the jade pendant, feeling its warmth and texture. This was not just an ordinary jade pendant, but a memory that would never be erased from his heart.
Shen Yunsheng was stunned when she heard the old man's words. She could hardly believe her ears; the kind and amiable old man in front of her was actually her own grandfather.
"Grandpa! You...you must have mistaken me for someone else."
Shen Yunsheng was even more excited than the old man. If the old man was her biological grandfather, then who were her parents?
How did she get lost?
“This jade pendant is a gift from me. I’m not mistaken. I know not only that this jade pendant holds a secret, but I also know that your blood can awaken the phoenix on it.”
After a brief pause, the old man told Shen Yunsheng about the origin of the jade pendant. He said that the cloud-patterned jade pendant and the dragon-patterned jade pendant were a pair of ancestral treasures. He had already given the dragon-patterned jade pendant to Shen Yunsheng's brother, and the one in Shen Yunsheng's hand was actually a phoenix-patterned jade pendant. If Shen Yunsheng's blood could awaken the phoenix in the jade pendant, then she would be his granddaughter.
Without saying a word, Shen Yunsheng bit his finger to verify it himself.
When her blood dripped onto the jade pendant, the pendant emitted a golden light, and suddenly with a "poof," a five-colored golden phoenix flew out of the space.
Fearing the secret of the jade pendant would be revealed, 007 immediately used his superpowers to block the news.
Shen Yunsheng put away the jade pendant. Before she could ask who else was in the family, the old man hugged her, tears streaming down his face. "Child, you've suffered so much these years... Grandpa will definitely make it up to you."
Shen Yunsheng also silently shed tears, "Grandpa, I'm not suffering. I've met many kind people over the years."
Afterwards, Shen Yunsheng told the old man about the original owner's experiences over the years.
The old man felt both gratified and heartbroken upon hearing this. He decided to take good care of his granddaughter from now on and not let her suffer any more grievances.
Shen Yunsheng wiped away her tears before asking gently, "Grandpa, besides you and my brother, who else do I have as relatives?"
The old man looked troubled, thinking to himself, "I faked my death and left the Tantai family more than 30 years ago. Everyone in the family thinks I'm long gone. If I suddenly tell my granddaughter my true identity now, she probably won't be able to accept this sudden change!"
