After a month of tossing, Su Renhuang's anger has long since disappeared, the old man personally cooked, made a table of his favorite dishes for Su Qiubai, and took a pot of old wine from the wine cellar, and the grandfather and grandson sat together again after a long absence.

"Now that you've found the art of soul restoration, are you leaving again?" Su Renhuang took a sip of wine and asked.

Su Qiubai knew that his grandfather was actually reluctant to leave by himself, although he seemed to be withdrawn, but after all, he was old, and he only had such a relative as himself, and in his absence, he was alone in this empty mountain, which must have been very lonely.

Thinking of this, Su Qiubai once again blamed himself for his previous willfulness, without considering the old man's feelings at all.

But even if he is reluctant, Ruan Yu must be saved, as for his grandfather...... An idea popped into him.

"I'll stay with you for a few more days before I leave." Su Qiubai replied, while thinking in his heart, whether to tell Grandpa Sù about that idea.

Emperor Su Ren saw that he had something on his mind, so he said: "Grandpa knows that you are eager to save people, and there are priorities in things, and the old man still knows this." Anyway, I won't be able to die for a while, and it doesn't matter if you don't stay with me for a few days. ”

Su Qiubai knew that he had misunderstood him, so he said: "My friend's situation won't be worse anyway, it doesn't matter if it's a few days late." , but I was thinking about something else. ”

Hearing this, Emperor Su put down the wine glass in his hand and looked at Su Qiubai suspiciously, waiting for his next step.

"Grandpa, now that you are older, it is not a way to always stay in this deep mountain and old forest, anyway, my father and uncle will not be able to come back for a while, you might as well go down the mountain with me, so that I can take good care of you, and I don't always have to worry about what accidents will happen to you alone in this mountain." Su Qiubai still said what he thought.

Emperor Su glanced at Su Qiubai with a smile, and said after a while: "If I am willing to go down the mountain, I will go back then, why should I still live this poor life in this mountain?" ”

This is also a question that Su Qiubai has always been unable to understand, he has never dared to ask before, but at this time, taking advantage of the old man's good mood, he simply asked directly: "Grandpa, with your academics, if you are in the world under the mountain, even if you are not famous all over the world, at least it is no problem to live a rich life." Why do you stay in the middle of this mountain, and refuse to go out? ”

Su Renhuang drank a glass of wine and said with a smile: "You hairy boy, what do you know?" In my early years, I also traveled in the world for a period of time, accustomed to seeing the warmth and coldness of people, and the world, in the end I still feel that this isolated life in the mountains is the most suitable for me, no intrigue, deceit, happy and quiet! ”

Su Qiubai has experienced a lot of things in less than a year since he entered the WTO, and he has long been surprised by all kinds of malignancies of the world, but he is not as pessimistic as his grandfather, because in addition to those bad experiences, he also met the group of kind and beautiful girls in the villa, as well as Xie Zhongyuan, who are good friends who are like each other, so he is still full of interest in the outside world.

Su Qiubai told Su Renhuang of his thoughts, but he laughed out loud when he heard it.

"You've only been in the world for a few days? What you've seen is just the tip of the iceberg. Do you know what's the scariest thing in the world? It's not a demon, it's a human heart! Even those closest to you will betray you one day, let alone those who are roosters and dogs, thieves, and people with evil intentions. Do you know that the human heart is the most insatiable of all, and if they know that you have treasures or some extraordinary abilities, they will try to take them away from you so that they can take them for themselves? As I stay in the world for a long time, I see more and more of these things, and the more disgusting they become, which is why I live in this deep mountain. ”

Su Qiubai heard his grandfather say so much, and vaguely felt that he might have encountered something outside the mountain back then, so he would be so disheartened about the things of the world.

"Grandpa, what happened to you at the bottom of the mountain?" Su Qiubai asked directly.

Emperor Su Ren knocked Su Qiubai's head with chopsticks, and said with a smile: "Rabbit cub, I have inquired about your grandfather, what does this have to do with you!" Don't ask, eat! ”

Su Qiubai saw that he didn't want to say it, and knew that he would ask in vain, so he changed the topic and said, "Grandpa, when I solve all the things at the bottom of the mountain, I will go back to the mountain to accompany you!" ”

Emperor Su asked, "Apart from saving your friend, what else do you have to do down the mountain?" ”

Su Qiubai thought about it, in addition to saving Ruan Yu at the moment, the big thing was to go to Taiyimen to save his mother, but he never dared to tell his grandfather about this matter, firstly, because his grandfather knew the depth of Taiyimen, and would not let him risk himself, secondly, Su Renhuang did not approve of the marriage between his father Su Pojun and Dongfang Miao, and he was even more angry about Taiyimen's later actions, thinking that it was an insult to himself, so he also said that Su Pojun was not allowed to have anything to do with Dongfang Miao.

"There are a couple of friends who need me to do them a favor, and I'll be back when I'm done." Su Qiubai casually found a reason and said perfunctorily.

But Su Qiubai's expression could not hide from Su Renhuang's eyes, and he immediately debunked it: "I see that your eyes are dodging, it must not be so simple." ”

Seeing this, Su Qiubai had to find another excuse to cover it up and said, "Actually, I still want to bring you a granddaughter-in-law back, but I don't know when I will find it." ”

Emperor Su stared at Su Qiubai's eyes for a long time, and suddenly said, "Are you still thinking about saving your mother?" ”

Su Qiubai was seen through by his grandfather at a glance, the chopsticks in his hand were not held steady for a while, they fell on the table, and he hurriedly picked them up again, and said: "Grandpa thinks too highly of me, where did I go to a place like Taiyi Gate?" ”

Although he was still quibbling, Su Renhuang had already confirmed his conjecture, and suddenly put down his chopsticks with a stern face, and said, "Although your grandfather and I are old, our eyes have not yet spent. What are you thinking in your mind that you think I can't see? I tell you that it would be better for you to dispel this idea as soon as possible. Not to mention whether you can rescue her, even if you do, I won't let her enter my house. If you insist on saving her, then the love between you and my ancestors and grandchildren will be over. ”

Su Qiubai knew that his grandfather's words were definitely not a joke, and he might have been angry when he wanted to drive him out before, but at this time he was absolutely serious.

"Grandpa, I heard my dad say that when my mother was not captured by the people of Taiyimen, she was also very filial to you, why did you reject her so much?" Su Qiubai asked puzzled.

Emperor Su Ren snorted coldly and said, "This is also due to her amazing master." My own daughter didn't like it, and voluntarily married into my family, but in the end, she looked down on my family, and forcibly took her back, regardless of your savings. In the final analysis, it's not because I see that my Tianxuanzong is now in decline, and I am not worthy of him Taiyimen, such a snob who tends to be inflammatory, I still disdain to climb that relative with him! ”

Su Qiubai understood that Emperor Su Ren couldn't get over the hurdle of face, and he didn't really have an opinion about his mother, but if he wanted to reverse his mind, it would be impossible for a while, so he decided to make a delaying tactic and stabilize his feelings first.

"Although my mother gave me the grace of childbirth, it was my grandfather who raised me. If I had to choose between the two of you, I would definitely choose you, grandpa. Su Qiubai stretched out his hand to hold Su Renhuang's hand and said sincerely.

His words are half-true, if it really comes to that point, he is indeed more reluctant to raise his grandfather who has raised him for more than 20 years, but he will not allow that situation to happen.

Emperor Su was greatly moved when he heard this, his demeanor finally eased, and said: "I also know that you have no mother since you were a child, and your father has been away from you all year round, so you can only face me, a lonely old man, all day long, and you have indeed been wronged." In fact, I refused to teach you advanced martial arts in the past, because I was afraid that one day you would abandon me. I thought I was used to seeing all kinds of joys and sorrows in the world, and I didn't take these to heart for a long time, but in the end, I still couldn't see it. ”

When Su Qiubai heard this, he remembered what he had done before, so he felt guilty again, and said: "My departure is only temporary, one day, I will return to your old side and never leave again!" Okay, who is with our grandparents and grandchildren, don't say such outward words! Come on, come on, drink! ”

Su Renhuang also realized that he was hypocritical, so he raised his wine glass and drank it all, hiding his embarrassment.

After three rounds of drinking, both of them were slightly drunk, and they helped each other back to the bedroom to sleep.

Su Qiubai accompanied the Su Emperor on the mountain for three days in a row, and after three days, the Su Emperor saw that the expression on his face was becoming more and more like an arrow, so he said: "Okay, you have also fulfilled your filial piety, hurry up and go back to save your friend." ”

Su Qiubai knew that his grandfather was coaxed to be happy by himself this time, and his mood suddenly relaxed a lot, so he said goodbye: "Grandpa, don't worry, after I solve the matter under the mountain, I will definitely come back to accompany you." ”

Su Renhuang smiled and waved his hand, did not answer, but said: "Don't talk about those useless ones, talk about something serious." The soul restoration technique is not as simple as you think, be careful not to recruit the wrong soul, if you attract other lonely souls and wild ghosts and invade your friend's body, the consequences will be much more troublesome. ”

Su Qiubai nodded and said, "Grandpa, don't worry, I'll be careful to distinguish it." ”

Emperor Su took out something from his pocket, put it in Su Qiubai's hand, and said: "This Xuankong Gold Plate is useless to put here for me, you better take it, but don't break it for me, otherwise I won't be able to spare you!" ”

Su Qiubai took the Xuankong Golden Plate, and felt a little more reluctant to his grandfather, although this old man was strict with him, he actually loved him very much in his heart, and all the estranged demeanor he put on before was because he didn't say goodbye and deeply hurt him. Thinking of this, Su Qiubai felt a burst of guilt in his heart.

After repeatedly telling him for a while, Su Qiubai reluctantly left the Su family's old mansion, and after walking a long way, he looked back and saw that the Su Emperor was still standing at the door, looking at his departing back.

Su Qiubai's eyes were hot, and he suddenly didn't dare to look back, so he went down the mountain as if he had fled.
