Not for any other reason, just because the old man in front of him was a former friend of Chen Ducang, Chen Ge wanted to understand what his grandfather had gone through before.
Although he had said that he had spent a few short years with him, he was still young at that time and did not remember anything at all.
Perhaps, he would be able to find out from this old man in front of him. Why Chen Ducang had become the way he was now.
"Good, then stay with me for a chat and some tea, and I will have my underlings arrange a guest room for you to stay in tonight." Only when he saw Chen Ge agree did a smile appear on the old man's face, he looked up at the door and continued, "Let that man outside come in, aren't you two lovers. Besides, there's nothing to hide about such things."
"You know?" Chen Ge rubbed his head.
"Of course I know, don't look like our family doesn't contact the outside world, but it doesn't mean that we don't know about the outside world." The old man nodded his head and said.
Chen Ge got up, called Feishu back, and closed the door tightly again. After all, what was being said was about Chen Ducang, and he didn't want any strangers to know about it.
"The matter between your grandfather and I is a long way off, this sentence is at least fifty years old!" The old man crossed his legs, a cup of hot tea in his hand, and shook his body back and forth in a mute voice.
Neither Chen Ge nor Feishuo said anything, sitting behind the tea table and listening quietly.
As the old man sipped his tea, he slowly spoke.
It turned out that when Chen Ducang was young, he had once studied with the old man under the name of a famous cultivator in the Chinese cultivation world, Lin Baicao.
The two were known as master and brother. They had been training on Lin Baicao's mountain for almost ten years before they left the mountain. After leaving the mountain, Chen Ducang returned to the Chen family, determined to revitalise the Chen family, while the old man followed him, ready to assist his senior brother.
But then something happened that caused them to go their separate ways.
That was that with the help of the two men, the Chen family gradually gained a certain fame and status in the cultivation world, and Chen Ducang wanted to use this opportunity to get the Chen family into the secular world and use the family's strength in exchange for funds.
And the old man did not want to get involved inside the secular world. After all, it is almost rare for Chinese cultivators to appear inside the secular world, and even rarer for them to go into business inside the secular world.
And so it was. Since their differences could not be resolved, the two chose to go their separate ways, and after the old man left the Chen family. He then travelled around and eventually helped the Yamashita family in a coincidence in Japan. Solely by chance, he entered this family directly and became an elder.
Listening to what the old man said, Chen Ge felt a little emotional.
"Simply put, it was this little thing, but now that I think about it your grandfather's decision was not incorrect, I was only doing your Chen family a favour, but your grandfather needed to consider the future of the whole family." The old man sighed, he had been thinking about it all these decades.
There had been thoughts of returning to China too, but had grown accustomed to life here.
"Hmm." Chen Ge nodded his head, these words. He had never heard his father talk about it.
"What about now, is your grandfather in your home?" The old man raised his head to look at Chen Ge and asked somewhat expectantly.
"Not in." Chen Ge shook his head.
"Has he passed away?" The old man clearly shook for a moment. Even the hand holding the teacup shivered as water splashed out from inside it.
"Still alive, but no longer in the Chen family, or rather no longer in the previous Chen family." Chen Ge let out a bitter laugh, his impression of Chen Ducang only stayed until he was five or six years old.
"What does that mean?" The old man was a little confused by Chen Ge's words.
"He is no longer in our Chen family. Instead, he has gone to a new cultivation Chen family on an island in the sea beyond South Vietnam, and I don't know where it is." Chen Ge sighed.
"A new Chen family was built?" The old man's eyes widened. Inside his cloudy eyes, there was a look of disbelief, "That's not right, Chen Ducang values your Chen family more than his own life, how could he abandon you and start some new Chen family?"
"I don't know." Chen Ge shrugged his shoulders.
"How are you two Chen families related?" The old man felt like he was listening to a story. This seemed to him to be something that simply couldn't happen.
"Our Chen family has no connection with their Chen family, and there is only myself left." Chen Ge did not lie.
"What about your parents? I don't remember much about you. But I remember that when I left your Chen family, my sister-in-law had already given birth to a girl, who should be your sister." The old man frowned thoughtfully, "Did something bad happen to them all?"
"No, they were captured by my grandfather." Chen Ge shook his head.
"Captured by Chen Ducang?" The old man was even more shocked, this sounded like an unbelievable story to him, not to mention an old friend he had known for almost twenty years, or an ordinary person, he had never heard anyone say that they had taken his son and daughter-in-law's family away.
After a pause, the old man continued to ask, "Are you telling me a story to listen to?"
"It is a thousand percent true. Chen Ducang has captured my parents and sister and is now trapped inside the Cultivation Chen Family, and it seems to be related to the Sun Alliance that captured my girlfriend."
Chen Ge looked at the old man. He took a deep breath and spoke the truth out.
"What?" At this, the old man stood up straight away. Incredulity was written all over his face.
"That's the truth." Chen Ge didn't want it to be true either, but it was indeed the actual thing that had happened.
"It's unbelievable, I remember that Chen Ducang treated your father and mother very well, your family had a cordial relationship, how could this situation occur." The old man slowly sat down and said in a trailing voice.
Chen Ge did not continue to speak, he did not know what to say about Chen Ducang.
Before he was five or six years old, he had the impression of a very kind grandfather, but suddenly one day he had never seen this person again, and it was only when he became an adult and his parents were suddenly taken away that he began to learn about this grandfather again.
But the Chen Ducang he came into contact with now was not at all the same person as the grandfather Chen Ge had remembered in his mind.
"This Cultivation Chen family, where is it?" The old man pondered for a while and suddenly asked.
"You Long Island!" Chen Ge did not hesitate to say immediately, he knew that the old man in front of him was not an ordinary person, and was now an elder of the Yamashita family, so he might know about these circumstances.
However, the next words were a little disappointing to Chen Ge.
The old man stroked the goatee on his chin and shook his head, "I have never heard of the name You Long Island."
"Before this, I had never heard of it either." Chen Ge wasn't very disappointed, this answer, after all, was what he had expected.
"But don't worry, I will try my best to find out about it for you, I am sure that Chen Doucang would not have done these things if he didn't have a reason." The old man said with a shake of his head.
