Green Cloud Town, Gu Lin Clan!

An old man was fiddling with a table. On the table, there were two pairs of chopsticks, two bowls of congee, and some side dishes. It seemed as though he was waiting for someone to come back.

At this moment, Gu Lin's childish face was full of smiles, but on close observation, there was a hint of bitterness in it. Before he even stepped into the room, he called out to his grandfather, ”Grandfather, I've been accepted into the Four Spiritual Academy, come out quickly.”

When the old man raised his head and saw Gu Lin's excited face, he hurriedly stood up and excitedly said, ”Really?” Had he really been accepted by the four spirits?

As long as they were outstanding children, the four great powers would send them directly to the Four Spiritual Academy to study. After graduation, they would work for the four great powers.

”This old man is Gu Lin's grandfather, Gu Shan.”

Really! Grandfather, this is the manager of the Heavenly Dragon Prefecture. The Heavenly Dragon Prefecture knows that, but he is one of the four strongest factions in the Central Region. Uncle Qing Jin is the person in charge of the recruitment.

Qing Yin couldn't help but feel a little strange in his heart. After all, in the entire Central Region, there were very few people who had such pure feelings for each other. He had also seen a child that had just reached the full moon and his own parents had sold him to someone else to be a servant.

Alright, Gu Lin, hurry and pack your things. The test is about to end.

Gu Lin was a little reluctant to let go of Gu Shan's embrace, he grumbled: ”Grandpa, why don't I go?”

In any case, as long as I have grandpa you protecting me is enough, why do I have to leave grandpa? Only grandpa is the best to me in this world, I don't want to be separated from grandpa, Gu Lin used a childish tone and said.

Alright, alright! It's not like you won't be able to come back after you go to the Four Spiritual Academy.

I knew grandpa would find me annoying, hmph, after he finished speaking, Gu Lin ran into the house.

”Cough, cough!”

Being laughed at by the supervisor, Gu Lin had always had this temper since he was young, Gu Shan said apologetically.

It's fine, old man. A child is a common thing, but old man, do you know how great your grandson is? He has the blood of the four gods, and in the Central Region, there hasn't been any problems before. I don't know who the parents of this child are, Qing Yin said with a smile, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Hearing this, a lonely look flashed across Gu Shan's eyes. He had easily caught it.

I remember that day, Gu Lin's parents happened to come to the mountain to hunt. It was on that day that, for some reason, the demonic beasts of the Fallen God Mountain began their frenzied assault on our town, and Gu Lin's parents disappeared at that time as well. While speaking, Gu Shan didn't head in the direction of the house. Gu Lin might have heard something.

”That is my fault, old man,” Qing Yin said apologetically.

It was just that the little fellow Gu Lin didn't know anything and would be taking care of him in the future.

'Old man, don't mention it. With that kid Gu Lin's talent, if word of him getting taken care of gets out, I'm afraid I won't even be able to compete for him. 'Qing Sui smiled.

In the room, although Gu Shan had lowered his voice, Gu Lin was born with a four spiritual body, so his hearing was naturally much better than that of an ordinary person. In fact, Gu Lin had long known that his parents were gone, but he was afraid that his grandfather would feel sad, so he didn't speak.

Grandpa, don't worry, I will train hard. When the time comes, I will go find my parents. If I can't find them, I will kill those demon beasts and take revenge for my parents.

Gu Shan said in shock: ”You already know?”

I knew it a long time ago, but I was afraid that grandpa would be worried, so I didn't tell grandpa about everything.

You child, grandpa does not ask you to have much ability, but only asks you to live your entire life in peace and stability. If grandpa had the ability, then grandpa would not want you to become a cultivator, you know? Gu Shan dotingly stroked Gu Lin's hair.

Elder, you're overthinking things. With Gu Lin's talent, no one has ever been able to compare to him since ancient times … Qing Ding was slightly stunned at these words, but quickly replied. He was afraid that Gu Lin would suddenly stop and suffer a great loss.

Gu Lin, Grandpa has nothing else to say to you. You must take good care of yourself on your way out. If you encounter any danger, you can just run away. Don't use your loyalty to do anything, you know.

Grandpa, don't worry, I will take good care of myself. When he thought of his parents, Gu Lin's eyes exuded a deep hatred. Grandfather has aged a lot in these past few years, all because of the Spiritual Slope.

The grandfather-grandson pair chatted for a long time, and only when Qing Yin said that she was leaving did they reluctantly say their goodbyes.

For some reason, there seemed to be a lot of people on this small road today. Everyone was looking in front of them, and among the group of people, there were two little guys who were also looking behind them. This was because behind them were their relatives, and there was a place to raise them.

”Gu Lin,” when you arrive at the academy, you must learn to take good care of yourself and stop trying to be brave. If you encounter anything, you must think twice before acting. You must listen to your teacher and stop being so naughty.

Grandpa! Looking at his grandfather's waving arm, Gu Lin's heart was filled with reluctance. Since he was young, Gu Lin had never left Qingyun Town, and it could be said that this town was his everything. The first time he left, he would need a very, very long time to return.

Gu Lin, don't cry. You must learn how to be strong and endure when you're strong, Qing Sui said.

Gu Lin reluctantly looked at his grandfather, as well as the town's aunties and uncles. In the end, he still looked into the distance. Goodbye! Grandfather, goodbye to Green Cloud Town.

Early morning, when the first rays of the sun shone on the earth.

It had been almost half a month since he left Greencloud Town. Gu Lin sighed in his heart.
