"Why?" I was so surprised that I couldn't help but ask Grandpa.

From my heart, I don't have the slightest affection for the Lin family, and I would rather be an ordinary person and live a life dependent on my grandfather. Do not seek great wealth and wealth, but only joy and peace.

How could I have expected my grandfather to have such a tough idea and let me return to the Lin family?

I was shocked by this question, but as long as I put a little effort into it, I could hear my strong resistance in this sentence.

"Why?" Grandpa looked at me with a serious expression, and even a little angry, as if he was angry at my resistance. But after a while, his frowning brow relaxed again, smiled bitterly, and said, "I forgot, you don't know anything about the past. And your resistant look just now is too much like An'er, so I can't help but want to be angry with you subconsciously. ”

"Who is An'er?" Seeing my grandfather's wry smile with a hint of sadness, how could I bear to continue to be tough with him?

But I do feel unfamiliar with the names of those people in my grandfather's mouth, An'er?

"An'er is your father, and his full name is Lin Nian'an. When he was a child, he was not in good health, and your grandmother and I gave him such a name. At this point, Grandpa sat down and looked out the window with a look of remembrance in his eyes.

The pipe had already been extinguished, but he held it to his mouth again, took a puff, and then found that the pipe had been extinguished, and couldn't help but smile bitterly.

I can't tell what emotions are in my heart...... Lin Nian'an? My dad's name?

It sounds strange and cordial now, and I can feel from my grandfather's words that maybe the relationship between their father and son was not too harmonious back then, otherwise how could my grandfather subconsciously want to get angry after I had resistance? Just because I give him the feeling of being too much like my dad?

From the fragmentary past, I am guessing, depicting, and completing the image of my parents, like a little secret, outlining them in my heart, just wanting to hide them deeply, and from then on, my heart will no longer seem so lonely, and when I think of my parents, it is blank.

"Xiaoshuang, it's time for me to tell you everything." Grandpa suddenly came back to his senses, looked at me who was also in a daze, and said inexplicably.

Refilled with a bucket of cigarettes, Grandpa finally began to tell the story of the Lin family and my parents.

The Lin family is also a place with strict hierarchies and competition for power.

But no matter how turbulent it is, the Lin family has three veins, and they will be called "immovable descendants".

If you divide it according to the ranking of the people in Grandpa's area, they are Lin Dayi, Lin Wuyi, and Lin Seventeen, because the children of these three veins are talented, and the Lin family has a history of almost a thousand years, and the people of these three veins have basically not produced any mediocre talents.

Most of the existing ancestors of the Lin family, that is, the people of the clan elders' association, also come from these three veins. If the patriarch of the Lin family has no accidents, for example, if there is no amazing person in the other veins, then it is basically one of these three veins to serve as the patriarch.

Generally speaking, these three lineages are ranked by the most talented person of the mainstay generation.

One of them is called Lin Wuyi, and my grandfather is naturally the most genius figure in one of the three veins of the "immovable lineage", and his status in the Lin family can be imagined.

Moreover, even Lin Da and Lin Seventeen were slightly inferior to my grandfather back then.

At that time, grandpa was faintly the first person of the forty-ninth generation of the Lin family, whether it was in the gathering of the four major families, even in the entire ancient cultivation world, whoever saw his grandfather had to respectfully call him "Fifth Master Lin".

But even in such a proud life, my grandfather has a regret, because of my grandmother's physical problems, he only has my father's only son.

Although he is an only son, when my father was born, he shocked several elders of the Lin Wuyi lineage, because every child born in the Lin family has its own system to test his genius ability, and the talent shown by my father when he was born is enough to make people amazing in the history of the Lin family!

Therefore, this not only alarmed the main figures of the Lin family, but also the clan elders.

However, the birth of every genius is generally accompanied by tribulations. Dad has been in poor health since he was a child, and I don't know if he inherited his grandmother's weak physique, or if there are other reasons.

Before he was three years old, there was hardly a single day of peace, and he almost died several times.

Later, it was my grandfather who ventured to a place, and almost lost his life in this trip, so he begged for a life-saving medicine for my father, and a small magic weapon to save my life, so that my father could grow up safely and get better and better.

At that time, many people speculated whether Grandpa went to the mysterious Yingtianguan? But Grandpa never revealed it.

Speaking of this, grandpa looked at me and said, "Xiaoshuang, grandpa has nothing to hide between you and me. Your father has been weak since he was a child, because he is a small man, but he has a strong soul, how can the body withstand it? And this kind of thing, even the Lin family couldn't help him consolidate his foundation before he was seven years old, because his body couldn't bear it. Grandpa went to Yingtianguan back then. But ......"

Speaking of this, Grandpa smiled bitterly.

But I was completely attracted by my grandfather's story, and I couldn't help urging: "Grandpa, what is it?" ”

"But, what did I call to go to Yingtianguan? Grandpa ventured into a thousand dangers, but he only found the mountain range on the periphery of Ying Tianguan, was trapped in the formation, and almost died. Haha, my dignified Fifth Master Lin in the ancient cultivation realm, can others believe it when he says it? It can be regarded as some luck for me, and I broke through the formation and alarmed a Taoist who should be seen in the sky, and then I got the thing to save your father's life. "When Grandpa spoke, I couldn't imagine how powerful Ying Tianguan was.

"In short, your father's growth was so difficult that I even gave up my life for him. You can imagine how much effort and attention I put into your dad. ”

Grandpa looked at me and said.

I can understand what grandpa meant.

Generally, children who have been poured a lot of effort and attention into their bodies are bearing great hope from their elders, which is a kind of road that seems to be cared for, but is actually full of pressure.

I can imagine the relationship between Grandpa and Dad, why Dad resists, and Grandpa will fire up this resistance.

But no matter what, after experiencing many hardships when he was a child, Dad still grew up smoothly.

He has an ordinary, not domineering name called Lin Nian'an, but he also has a well-known ranking title, everyone knows that Lin Wuyi has another genius who may be more powerful than Lin Wuye-Lin San.

People in the ancient cultivation world called him Third Brother Lin.

Grandpa is the most outstanding person in the forty-ninth generation, my father is the most outstanding person in the fiftieth generation of the Lin family, and my father's temperament is not only as hot and direct as my grandfather, but also much easier to get along with than my grandfather, quite uninhibited and bold. As a result, he made friends with many people of three religions and nine ranks.

Originally, the grandfather was very dissatisfied with his father's behavior, and felt that the descendants of the dignified Lin family were likely to inherit the mantle of Lin Wuyi's vein in the future, and even become the next patriarch, who should be somewhat dignified, and should not be so profligate and make friends with everyone, but where can the father who has grown up bear to be kneaded by his grandfather like this.

During that time, the contradiction between father and son became more prominent.

It was during that time that my father went to a party held by the younger generation of the four major families, met my mother, who was also a woman from the Wei family in the four major families, and soon fell in love with this woman.

Originally, my father's behavior of befriending everywhere, my grandfather was already persuaded by my grandmother and planned to give in.

But at this time, the love between my father and my mother was like a thunderbolt, which made the relationship between my grandfather and my father tense again, and it reached the point where the relationship between father and son was at its most tense, and it was almost impossible to reconcile.

"Grandpa, why? Isn't my mother also a member of the four major families? They're a good match, huh? Hearing this, I couldn't help but feel anxious for my parents, and I didn't understand why my grandfather couldn't tolerate them.

When Grandpa heard this, he smiled bitterly and said to me, "Why? Xiaoshuang, you have never understood, your father is the first person in the fifties of the Lin family, and of course what he is looking for is also a woman who also matches him in the four major families, even if he is a little weaker, he can't be weak. Even, you can find a talented woman in the Lin family. After all, the Lin family has been inherited for so many generations, except for a common surname Lin, many of them are not blood relatives with each other. Moreover, in the family inheritance, it is normal for cousins and sisters to get married, because it can continue to produce children with stronger bloodlines, as long as a normal one can be born. ”

I wasn't shocked when I heard it, even in the world of ordinary people, those commercial families or some aristocratic families originally had this tradition, blood relatives intermarried with each other, and did not intermarry with people with foreign surnames at all, for the purity of blood.

The Lin family is an ancient cultivator family, and it is normal to have such rules.

"For the bloodline?" I asked my grandfather gently.

"Exactly, only when geniuses are combined with each other can geniuses be born with a higher chance. Otherwise, the blood is pure, and it is a good thing to get close to the ancestors of the Lin family in ancient times. So a character like your father, marriage must not be decided by himself! Although your grandmother and I are in love with each other freely, your grandmother is also a genius woman of the Lin family, but her body is a little weaker, so she got the consent of the family. But what about your mother? Although she is a member of the Wei family, she is a concubine and has no status at all. When your father met her, she was a follower of a young lady of the Wei family, and to put it mildly, she was a maid and a kind of character. Do you think I could have accepted it at the time? ”

Grandpa looked at me, although he was talking about the time, there was already a trace of remorse and bitterness in his eyes.
