Chapter 245

Lin Mengye was surprised; Miss Xia woke up too quickly, which makes it hard not to suspect.

Sure enough, Old Xia excitedly walked to the bedside, seeing his granddaughter truly awake; overjoyed, he immediately thanked Lin Meng.

"Lin lass, did you wake my granddaughter, right?"

Old Master Ye and Ye Chenjing exchanged a glance, both shocked yet fully agreeing with Old Xia's saying, also feeling this was definitely Lin Meng's doing.

But this way, wouldn't Lin Meng's thunderous methods be exposed before Old Xia?

Even the doctor by the bedside looked bewildered, staring at Lin Meng suspiciously.

Lin Meng saw everyone looking at her, could only laugh helplessly, and said:

"How could that be? Did my mouth gain some power? I was just trying to comfort you a few words; I didn't expect Miss Xia to wake up the next second."

"I didn't do anything; I dare not take credit."

"But really, congratulations, thank goodness she woke up."

Upon hearing this, Old Xia naturally dispelled his doubts; just now Lin Meng indeed did nothing by the bedside, it seems his granddaughter truly has good fortune.

"Hahaha, no matter what, I still need to thank you, little lass Lin, for bringing good fortune to my Linlin."

After Old Xia finished speaking, he hurriedly sat by the bedside to attend to Linlin.

Not long after, the doctor also came to his senses and conducted a physical assessment of Linlin.

Old Master Ye saw the grandparents finish chatting, grabbed Ye Chenyu, hoisted him like a chick before Linlin, glared at Ye Chenyu, and said:

"Miss Linlin has awakened; you quickly apologize to her, apologize properly, or I'll break your leg."

Ye Chenyu looked at Linlin with tears welling up, moved his mouth, about to speak, but saw Linlin turn her pretty face aside and snort.

"I don't want to see you now; please leave."

Upon hearing this, Ye Chenyu felt as if struck by heavenly thunder, his expression frozen.

Lin Meng seemed to hear the sound of a breaking heart, and secretly shook her head.

It seems Ye Chenyu wants to win the beauty's heart, but it's difficult.

Old Master Ye couldn't stay, having to drag Ye Chenyu away in haste.

The younger generation's conflict, he couldn't intervene; this was originally Chenyu's fault, and if he acted as an elder mediator, it would only make Linlin angrier.

"You brat, now it's fine—Linlin, who's so good-tempered, is angered into not wanting to see you again; from now on, you'd better wise up, you're completely unreliable!"

Old Master Ye lectured Ye Chenyu, while Lin Meng and Ye Chenjing hid far away to avoid meddling.

Ye Chenyu wore a dejected, sullen face; upon hearing this, he hurriedly corrected Old Master Ye.

"Grandpa, Linlin said she doesn't want to see me now; how did it become 'never see me again' in your mouth? Besides, Linlin didn't tell me to get lost earlier; she said please leave."

Old Master Ye was laughed into anger, and Ye Chenjing helplessly shook his head.

Lin Meng tugged at the corner of her mouth, looking at Ye Chenjing.

"Did your brother's brain stay in the womb and not come out with him?"

Ye Chenjing: "……"

The grandfather and grandson walked ahead; although Ye Chenyu verbally interrupted, he also knew he had indeed overstepped this time.

Lin Meng and Ye Chenjing walked behind.

"Thirty million, I've transferred it to your card; I'm still buying a Jade Marrow Pill to send to Old Xia—this apology is indispensable."

"Don't worry, I won't reveal the source of the pill."

Lin Meng nodded, took out a small porcelain bottle from her pocket, and handed it over.

"I think Linlin's body is quite healthy; this time it should just be an accident. When you give the Jade Marrow Pill, you can explain its effects, letting Old Xia decide for himself."

She actually felt Old Xia needed it more.

When I saw Old Xia today, his aura was wilted and his vitality completely couldn't compare to Grandpa Ye's.

Although it was just a brief encounter, they weren't close, but she still hoped the sold pill would exert its maximum effect.

The matter of Ye Chenyu is settled; Lin Meng earned thirty million from it and incidentally gained a wisp of soul.

That night, Grandpa came again in a dream, taking the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl away.

"You stay here seated; Grandpa will go and return soon."

This departure lasted a long time.

Lin Meng, with nothing to do, looked around; it was a simply decorated living room.

Since she had the paper-craft master custom-make it, she knew the furnishings well.

The front and back doors: one leads to the inner rooms, the other faces the courtyard.

Leaving the small courtyard's gate, one could see the outside scenery.

But now, the door to the inner room is open, and Grandfather has gone inside.

Yet the main gate leading to the courtyard is closed, and Lin Meng is really curious.

Seeing Grandfather not yet returned, Lin Meng got up and paced, for the first time having the chance to walk to the main gate.

She took a deep breath, slowly reached out her hand, wanting to open the door.

Who would have thought that as soon as her hand touched the door handle, a barrier blocked her back.

Not long after, the inner room transmitted Grandfather's anxious voice.

"Good granddaughter, you don't want your life, hurry back and sit properly."

The old man came running out in a hurry, the black qi on his body not yet dissipated, his whole person seeming shrouded in a layer of black qi, looking especially eerie.

"Grandfather you..."

Lin Meng wanted to say, Grandfather you seem like a demonic cultivator, but was interrupted by the old man.

"Little Meng, listen to Grandfather: you are a living body, absolutely do not try to leave Grandfather's house, otherwise great disaster will befall you, you know?"

Lin Meng nodded; she was originally just curious, thinking that if she could view the scenery of the other shore it would also be a special experience, but since there is a taboo detrimental to herself, she naturally would not violate it again.

Grandpa, don't worry, I won't dare again.

The old man nodded, thought for a moment, and returned the Nine-Eyed Heavenly Pearl to Lin Meng.

Let's stop here for today, Grandpa is going to cultivate, be careful yourself, you might run into peach blossom luck lately.

Lin Meng saw she was about to wake up from the dream and quickly spoke.

Grandpa, what cultivation method are you practicing? It looks…

With that black aura swirling around him, he looks nothing like a righteous person at all—practicing cultivation using souls; in the cultivation world, only demonic sects like the Soul Refining Sect would do such a thing.

The old man didn't want to say more; Lin Meng knew too much, which might not be a good thing, so he gave a vague answer.

Lin Meng frowned; Grandpa spends money like a waterfall and cultivates using souls— as his granddaughter, she feels anxious and must voice her thoughts.

Grandpa, do you know? Acting like this, you're an evil cultivator in the cultivation world; one slip and you'll lose your humanity and go berserk.

Grandpa, stop it—outside are all police.

The old man rolled his eyes and flicked Lin Meng's forehead.

Don't watch all that nonsense; I cultivate the orthodox way—what else would ghost cultivators rely on if not souls? I'm dead, not evil, so you can rest assured.

By the way, since you brought up money, hurry up and burn another cartload; Grandpa guarantees he won't burn any more after this.

Lin Meng: "??"

No, she didn't mention money at all—has Grandpa's face gotten this thick? He's not even pretending anymore.

Before Lin Meng could hastily speak, the dream ended.

She repeatedly pondered everything about this dream visitation, when suddenly her head buzzed.

Grandpa said she might run into peach blossom luck lately?
