"It's not wrong to call him Senior, since you have left the Lin Family, and naturally, your daughter is no longer one of the people of the Lin Family."
Lin Huan said in a deep and resonant voice.
I could hardly believe my own ears; I was completely disheveled!!
My mom called Lin Huan Dad!!
Lin Huan is really my maternal grandfather.
My mother's family was the number one exorcism family, the Lin Family.
Reality is too fantastical; I feel like I'm dreaming.
Just as my hand reached my cheek to pinch myself and see if it hurts.
Yu Longting grabbed my hand and placed it on his face, "Pinch me instead."
"Does it hurt?" I pinched him hard.
Yu Longting's face turned red from my pinch, "It hurts, it's not a dream."
"It's over..." I looked at Lin Huan's disciples casting solemn glances my way and felt a wave of guilt.
It's over; I've messed up big time.
Since I was little, my mom always told me she was an orphan with no parents.
It wasn't until she met my dad that she found someone to rely on.
She was exceptionally dependent on my dad, and their feelings for each other were very deep.
So much so that when my dad died, she lost her mainstay and nearly failed to raise me.
I've watched her grow from a young woman who knew nothing into a middle-aged mother who gradually learned how to make a living and raise a daughter.
I've seen her struggles and her clumsiness with my own eyes.
When Lin Huan, with his impressive presence, appeared before me, I simply couldn't associate such an elder with my mother, who was both gentle and strong.
"I'm... I'm sorry... Grandfather... I was wrong..." I murmured apologetically, my lips shivering.
Lin Huan waved his hand dismissively, "That won't do; I'm not qualified to be the Lady of the Snake Lord's grandfather."
"Senior Lin, I was rude to you yesterday, it was all my fault." I corrected my address properly, glancing at Yu Longting and making suggestive faces.
Seeing that he didn't react, I pinched his waist with my finger and through clenched teeth managed to say, "Silk Snake, quickly retract the Silk Snake."
"..." Yu Longting still bore his haughty demeanor, chin up, but without a word, he silently gathered the Silk Snakes back into his sleeve.
Several muffled groans echoed in the room.
The disciples of Lin Huan suddenly found the poisonous snakes stripped from their bodies and kneeled on the ground, sweating profusely.
"Ouch, father, it hurts..." Lin Huan kicked a middle-aged man kneeling on the ground, causing the man to let out a piercing scream.
Yet, Lin Huan remained unmoved and said sternly, "Say those words you told me again."
I bowed my head, trying to find some clue in this disheveled, long-haired man's face, "Is he Lin Gang?"
"Lin Gang, why did you curse Su Wan's friend for no reason?" my mother asked furiously.
Lin Gang looked at my mother helplessly, his eyes flashing with a cunning light, "I didn't mean to... it was all Su Xiaomin who told me to do it... Besides, that was just Wanwan's friend, not Wanwan herself."
"Uncle hasn't admitted to wanting to use me as a Cauldron Furnace yet?" I confronted Lin Gang, seeing through his web of lies with a cold remark.
Lin Gang shivered and looked at me with narrowed eyes, but in an instant, he turned timid and fearful, "Wanwan, what are you talking about? What Cauldron Furnace? How could I use such Evil Arts on you, you're my dear niece."
"How is it that you don't dare say those things when you see your sister?" Lin Huan slapped Lin Gang across the face. Latest content published on novel{f}ire.net
Lin Gang, holding his face, looked at Lin Huan with a sense of injustice, then turned to my mother, "Sis, you've always doted on me since I was a child, I remember that, but the Cauldron Furnace matter really isn't my fault! It truly is because you married the wrong man and burdened me with the enslavement of Xuanjing. My current plight is all because I've been dragged down by you, sister..."
