Chapter 255 Mr. Xiao’s identity
Chapter 255 Mr. Xiao’s identity
The eyes behind Xiao Siyan's lenses stared at Su Qiao for a few seconds.
There was an imperceptible light in his eyes.
He always felt that the second brother's little fiancée was a little too interested in his grandfather...
But the most important thing right now is to cure the old man first.
Xiao Siyan took off his glasses, his beautiful and sharp phoenix eyes were now covered with bloodshot eyes, and he looked very tired.
"I've been taking care of the old man these past two days..." Xiao Siyan said with a bitter smile, "The entire Yushen Mountain was almost torn down by the sick old man these past two nights..."
Su Qiao: "?"
Xiao Siyan finally decided to tell Su Qiao the secrets of the Xiao family.
"My grandfather's strange illness started one night two years ago... By the way, I haven't introduced you to my grandfather's identity yet." Xiao Siyan said to Su Qiao, "The name of the Xuanzong Alliance, I I think you should have heard it.”
Su Qiao nodded and said, "I've heard of it, but I haven't had the chance to see it. I heard that it was an alliance established by the Xuanmen sect at the foot of the mountain."
"Well, the current members of the Xuanzong Alliance Council are mainly composed of the heads of the three largest sects today, namely Taoist Xianhe of Linghe Temple and Yan Zhenren, the head of Sanqing Temple..."
Having said this, Xiao Siyan paused and said with deep meaning, "As well as Tianjizi of Tianqing Sect, he is also the first Taoist Master of Xuanmen today. He is highly respected and has profound skills."
Su Qiao was so happy that he suddenly understood something.
"Your grandfather is Tianjizi?!"
No wonder he, a serious heir to a consortium, could actually be related to Qu Shenshang...
"Yes. I am the only one in the Xiao family who knows about this matter." Xiao Siyan said, "My old man became enlightened when he was forty years old. He was also a genius in the first half of his life, and he became a member of the Xiao family at the age of seventeen. The head of the family, under his control, the Xiao Family Group once aspired to be the number one in China. Even the newly-appointed president and the head of the finance department had to visit him in person... But after his fortieth birthday, he suddenly seemed to be a different person. Same."
"After he bought Yushen Mountain, he chose to divorce, left home, and left all the property of the Xiao family to my grandma. My grandma came from a prominent family in the south of the Yangtze River and was a noble lady, but she had a very stubborn temper. She refused to divorce. I forced myself to carry the entire Xiao family, and in the end I became ill from overwork. I held on until my father could take over the Xiao family, and then he passed away."
Xiao Siyan's words about the past of his parents and ancestors were filled with deep helplessness.
"I heard that when grandma passed away, she was still holding in her hand the love token that grandpa gave her...a piece of purple jade, with words engraved by grandpa himself: I wish to win the heart of one person, and we will never be separated until we grow old." Xiao Siyan mocked. She twitched her lips and said, "The beauty he asked for was indeed waiting for him to grow old... until he died, he looked in the direction of Yushen Mountain. But the man she was waiting for didn't even come to the day of her burial. …”
Su Qiao also felt sad after hearing this...
Xiao Siyan calmed down and continued: "Because of this, my father was estranged from my grandfather. He hated him and resented him. In so many years, he has never visited Yushen Mountain once. My grandfather lives in seclusion, so naturally he will not be with his family again. There were contacts. To put it bluntly, no one knew whether he was dead or alive in Yushen Mountain... But when I was seven years old, I got seriously ill and was about to die. The famous doctors were helpless after seeing him. At that time, my grandfather suddenly sent someone over to take me to Yushen Mountain for treatment."
Su Qiao looked carefully at Xiao Siyan's face, and sure enough, he saw a very faint break at the beginning of his fate line, which was repaired by purple energy.
It seems that Xiao Siyan's death was at the age of seven, and it was Mr. Xiao who saved him...
"At that time, the doctors had already sentenced me to death. My father did not agree with me going to Yushen Mountain. In the end, my mother couldn't bear it. She wanted to seize the last bit of life, so she carried me regardless of the rain and went to Yushen Mountain to beg me. Grandpa saved me... Later, I became a frequent visitor to Yushen Mountain." Xiao Siyan said slowly, "Actually, I don't have a deep understanding of the love and hatred between my elders. I was frail and sick when I was a child, and I would go there every winter and summer vacation. I went to live in Yushen Mountain. In my eyes, my grandpa is always dressed in Taoist robes and has an immortal style. He often sits in his room reading, making deductions, and divination..."
Su Qiao couldn't help but ask: "Mr. Xiao, never taught you Xuanmen magic?"
"No." Xiao Siyan speculated, "He probably doesn't want me to be like him and walk on this road destined to be lonely."
Su Qiao was speechless for a moment.
Indeed, the path to Taoism is destined to be lonely, and we must not be tied down by the world of mortals...
