"No, that’s impossible." Su i shook her head, her face full of disbelief as she said, "Grandfather would never do such a thing."
"Facts speak louder than words. Miss Su, don’t you find it strange? You’ve been in charge of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion for so long and have never encountered any resistance. Even if there were opposition, those voices and forces would vanish imdiately and never appear again." Ling Chen began, "Have you never investigated any of this thoroughly? Or perhaps... you always believed the Heavenly chanism Pavilion was perfect, so no one was willing to oppose it."
"No... that’s impossible..." Su i murmured to herself, her head lowered, refusing to believe Ling Chen’s words.
Seeing Su i in a distracted state, Ling Chen sighed softly and said, "Miss Su, I think you won’t believe anything I say; only evidence is the best proof."
"Evidence? What evidence do you have?"
"I don’t have any now. To be honest, I sneaked into the Heavenly chanism Pavilion this ti to find evidence of the Skyhawk Pavilion’s evil deeds. An insider told that every task of the Skyhawk Pavilion is recorded and kept by the Heavenly chanism Pavilion Master. However, you’re just now learning about the existence of Skyhawk Pavilion, so the record certainly isn’t in your hands."
"Then where is it?"
Ling Chen shrugged, "I don’t know." Pausing for a mont, Ling Chen continued, "Based on my guess, the record is most likely in the hands of two people: your grandfather or Qin Chuan."
"You an Elder Qin?" Su i asked puzzled, "What does he have to do with this?"
"Miss Su, you might not know this, but Qin Chuan is with Skyhawk Pavilion and holds a high position. Besides that, there’s sothing else I want to tell you. A while ago, when you t in Beijing, I was attacked by Qin Chuan when I left." Ling Chen said, lifting his clothes to reveal a fierce scar.
"This..." Su i’s face showed surprise.
"This is Qin Chuan’s doing; he wanted to kill . Luckily, my fate saved , and soone rescued . At the ti, he thought I was surely dead, so he verbally revealed his relationship with Skyhawk Pavilion. Miss Su, no matter whether you believe it or not, once you find that record, you’ll know if I’m telling the truth."
Upon hearing this, Su i bit her lips lightly, her eyes flickering, and fell into hesitation.
While Su i was hesitating, a ’knock, knock, knock’ sound suddenly ca from the door, followed by Su He’s voice from outside, "It’s , can I co in?"
Su i and Ling Chen’s expressions changed slightly; they hadn’t expected Su He to co by at this ti. Before Su i could respond, a soft noise ca from the door, accompanied by footsteps approaching the bedroom.
Damn! Ling Chen’s heart sank; Su He had directly co in. What should they do now? "Quick, co in." At that mont, Su i hurriedly climbed onto the bed, pulled the quilt over herself, and signaled Ling Chen to hide beneath it. Ling Chen looked around; the gap under the bed was too narrow, the cabinet against the wall too thin, all unsuitable for hiding. The only exit was the window, but Su He was outside the bedroom and could co in at any mont. Escaping through the window in such a short ti would undoubtedly lead to discovery by Su He.
Thinking of this, Ling Chen disregarded any concerns about propriety and quickly slid under the quilt, pressing his body tightly against Su i’s delicate fra. Imdiately, a faint virgin fragrance reached his nose, stirring his heart slightly.
Just as Ling Chen hid, he heard Su He pushing the door open and coming into the bedroom. At this mont, Su i turned on the bedside lamp, and under the dim light, the room was not particularly clear.
Su i yawned, pretending to have just woken up, rubbing her sleepy eyes, and asked, "Grandfather, why have you co so late?"
"Just ca to check on you." Su He glanced around the bedroom, then pulled over a chair, placed it beside the bed, and looked at Su i, who was leaning against the headboard, saying, "Dear granddaughter, I know you have grievances against . I didn’t co to you these days because I hope you can think clearly; every decision I made was for the future of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion."
Su i fiddled with her fingers and replied softly, "Grandfather, everyone has their own ideas. I won’t force you, but you can’t force to accept your thoughts either."
"I just hope you can understand," Su He said, "Making you the Pavilion Master indeed put you in a difficult position, leaving you to bear such a heavy responsibility alone. As your grandfather, I want you to have an easier ti, so I haven’t told you so things; I’ve been secretly resolving the crises the Heavenly chanism encountered."
"I know, you don’t want my hands to get too bloody."
Su He nodded, "You’re right! These days, I’ve thought repeatedly about what you said. Undeniably, you have a point, but now are extraordinary tis, and we must take extraordinary asures. However, I promise you here, once I finish dealing with this, I’ll hand the Heavenly chanism Pavilion over to you completely, and I won’t interfere with whatever decisions you make afterward."
Hearing this, Su i asked softly, "Then how many people need to die this ti?"
"As long as they are enemies of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, I’ll clear them all out."
"A hundred people? Two hundred people? Do you need to kill three hundred people?" Su i looked directly into Su He’s eyes and said, "Have you ever thought about it? The martial arts world is slowly declining; if you kill so many people, the entire martial arts world will be finished. At that ti, what’s the point even if the status of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion remains unchanged?"
"That’s why you need to rebuild the martial arts world," Su He said with a smile, "Regardless of the future prosperity or decline of the martial arts world, the Heavenly chanism Pavilion must dominate everything. Well, I’ve said all I need to say; think about it, I’ll go now, you rest."
After speaking, Su He stood up and walked straight towards the bedroom door. At the door, Su He suddenly turned his head, carefully observing Su i under the lamp’s light. He noticed that Su i’s complexion, for so reason, had suddenly turned red, "Dear granddaughter, are you okay?"
Su He returned to the bedside, looking at Su i with concern and asked, "Are you feeling unwell? Co, let grandfather check you." Saying this, Su He reached out, intending to check Su i’s pulse.
"No... I’m fine." Su i hurriedly said, "Grandfather, I’m really okay, you don’t need to worry about ."
"But your complexion..."
"I’m just... just..." Su i bit her lip lightly, her body trembling slightly, and a trace of sha flashed in her bright eyes, "Grandfather, please don’t ask, I... I want to rest."
