"After so many years, my strength has long been different from what it used to be, and now there is no one in the entire Blue Star who is my opponent in terms of individual strength...... However, why does a kind of powerlessness and confusion still arise in my heart from time to time? ”

Lin Feng looked at the countless flowers in the imperial garden, and the confusion in his eyes became deeper and deeper.

"Moreover, I have the highest power in the world, the most virtuous wife, and the most well-behaved child...... But I always feel that all this is so unreal, as if it could collapse and turn into nothingness at any time? Also, why do I clearly feel that I have enough foundation and talent to break through the peak of Bao Dan and reach a more advanced realm, but it seems that I am being suppressed by some invisible force in the dark, and there is not even a trace of the possibility of loosening......

All kinds of doubts have always lingered in his heart, and these doubts not only did not fade with age, but also rose because of the improvement of his fame, fortune, status and cultivation strength.

While he was wandering in melancholy, suddenly a guard ran over.

"Report to His Royal Highness the Prince, there is news from outside the palace, and the old man's body may not be able to hold up......"

When Lin Feng heard this, he suddenly came to his senses: "I know, I'll rush over immediately!" ”

He didn't say a word, and directly straightened his body, which was to lift the internal breath, and use light skills to plunder outside the palace.

Even if it is the palace inside, it is only his own backyard for him, and the situation is urgent at the moment, so he naturally does not stick to the old rules.

The old man in the guard's mouth is naturally Lin Feng's "grandfather", that is, Su Yi's grandfather, Su Chengping.

Su Chengping was originally an earl, but because of Lin Feng's relationship, he was later promoted to a duke.

Now Su Chengping is one hundred and three years old, even if he is a cultivator of the inner family, he is still considered to be a high life at this age.

The inner family boxing has been practiced to the extreme, for example, when it comes to the realm of holding Dan like Lin Feng now, the increase in life expectancy is also minimal, and the longest life to be one hundred and twenty or thirty years old is the extreme.

Since Lin Feng married the empress, the Su family has moved to the capital with him, and the most prosperous area in the city is where the Duke's Palace is located.

Su Chengping has been bedridden for more than a month, and he knows that the time limit has come, so everyone in the Su family, including Su Yi, has already been here.

There were hundreds of people inside and outside the Duke's Palace, all of whom were from all major families who knew that General Su was approaching the end and came to see him off, but at this time, they were all left outside the inner mansion, and only the descendants of the Su family and a few close friends were accompanied in the inner mansion.

With Lin Feng's identity, naturally no one would stop him, and he walked directly into the bedroom of the old man in the inner house.

At this moment, there were only three people on the side of the couch, including Su Yi and the other two grandsons of the Su family, and their eyes were slightly red.

"Brother-in-law!"

The other two were both thirty-seven or eighteen years old, and they were Su Yi's two cousins, and when they saw Lin Feng, they respectfully saluted.

"Brother Feng, come quickly, grandpa has something to tell you."

Su Yi is no younger than Lin Feng, and he is now in his forties, but with proper maintenance, she looks like a young woman in her thirties, and she can't see her old age.

At this moment, the corners of her eyes were slightly filled with tears, and when she asked Lin Feng, she made a gesture and beckoned the two cousins to retreat together.

"Grandpa, what do you want to say to me?"

Looking at the skinny, senile old man on the bed, who was about to choke his breath, Lin Feng couldn't help but feel a sense of sadness in his heart.

The old man in front of him has been in the limelight all his life, but he still can't resist the invasion of the years, and now he is lying on the couch, and he can't see half of the style of the past, and some are just a dull twilight.

Maybe it was the legendary return to the light, Su Chengping, who was already angry and confused, saw Lin Feng's arrival at the moment when his eyes returned to an amazing light, and he showed a pleased smile on his face: "Feng'er, birth, old age, sickness and death are the only way for all things, you don't have to be sentimental." I called you here today, but I have hidden some words for more than 20 years, and I still want to tell you......"

"Grandpa, you say, I'll listen." Lin Feng nodded, and his voice couldn't help but be a little astringent.

Su Chengping said calmly: "Feng'er, from the first time I saw you, I knew that you were not mortal...... Sure enough, your achievements over the years are even far beyond my imagination. However, I can also see that under your resolute exterior, there is always a piece of ice that cannot be dissolved...... I don't know how this ice was formed, whether it's because you're too wise, it's thoughtful, or if it's because of your experiences as a teenager......"

As he spoke, his gaze became more and more wise, as if he could see through Lin Feng's soul.

"But I want to tell you that there is no need for your confusion and hesitation...... How short is a human life? Look at grandpa, isn't this going to be goodbye? So don't dwell on it anymore, the devil should appreciate your life and don't continue to live up to the rest of your life...... Only in this way will you not disappoint Yi'er and those close to you! The path of martial arts is illusory in the end, and no matter how strong the cultivation is, it will eventually turn to dust...... So, stop being too those ethereal things! It is only now that my grandfather truly understands that the happiest moments of my life are those ordinary days with your grandmother and you...... Do you understand? ”

Speaking of this, the old man's face was full of begging.

Lin Feng listened to the old man's words, and his face showed a look of shock.

It was only at this time that he suddenly realized that the confusion in his heart came from the helplessness and confusion of his limited life......

"Is that so? Martial arts and cultivation, all are nothing? Only the people around you, the love of the world, is it something that should really be cherished? Is that really the case......"

Lin Feng was completely distracted, and he didn't even notice that the old man had closed his eyes forever.

"Drip-"

Until the alarm sounded at the bedside, which monitored his vital signs, and figures poured into the room in pain, he was still depressed.

He followed the funeral procession until he reached the funeral parlor, where he saw the old man's body burning in flames and turning into a handful of ashes.

"Is life really just like this......"

At the moment when everyone was crying bitterly, Lin Feng's eyes were firmly fixed on the burning flame, the entanglement in his eyes seemed to be disappearing, but the clear light under his eyes was also gradually dimming.

And just when he was about to convince himself to give up the so-called pursuit of the Tao and follow the old man's last words to experience the rest of his life, he suddenly saw a clear light rising in the firelight.

"What's that!"

Lin Feng was inexplicably surprised, and couldn't help but take a step closer.

"Your Royal Highness, the deceased is gone, please mourn and change!"

"Don't disturb the deceased......"

Someone saw his actions and couldn't help but exclaim.

However, in Lin Feng's pupils, there was only the brilliance rising in the flames—it was a cyan jade pendant that was extremely familiar!
