Chapter 1156: You Go Create New Paths

What is this, a ghost or something?

It looks like it has legs; it’s not a ghost.

It didn’t die; this old man is really tough! Must be some family supernatural ability; everyone has a built-in blood lock skill. With so many demon souls, they didn’t take him down.

Maybe he bumped into a bunch of respectful demon souls who couldn’t bring themselves to strike.

No matter what, his survival is more beneficial than harmful. This old man has lived for a great many years, and he must have a wealth of information.

Wait a minute, hasn’t he been imprisoned here for most of his life?

Once he gets out, he’ll probably struggle to adjust to the fast-paced life outside.

Outdated, it’s time to go home and enjoy his retirement.

“Are you a human or a ghost? Have you not turned into a demon soul?”

Lin Nuo yelled to the old man, trying to confirm whether he was friend or foe.

“I’m not dead, young man.”

The old man leaned on his staff and continued walking, but upon sensing the powerful aura from Su Kexin, he abruptly stopped.

This…

Too sudden! This power appeared out of nowhere, completely different from a moment ago.

Gaining such immense power suddenly must come with a price; there’s no such thing as a free lunch.

Unless it’s from his own side.

The old man’s expression grew serious; after all, he was a practitioner of demonic arts himself. Anyone whose body was connected to demons would still somewhat fear Su Kexin.

Can the demon-slaying holy knight joke around with you?

“Grandpa…”

Su Kexin turned around to look at the old man.

The old man made eye contact with her, and a wave of inexplicable fear washed over him, making him even more fearful of this girl blessed by the Sacred Light.

He even took a step back in fright.

“Grandpa, you… are you afraid of me…?”

Su Kexin sensed something was off. The more she approached, the more the old man retreated.

Lin Nuo saw the scene and it was utterly ridiculous. Your sister’s holy sword divine light was indeed magnificent, but everyone was turning against her; even your grandpa had to keep his distance.

“Don’t step forward; he’s old. One careless move and you’ll zap him out of existence.”

“Ah?? What do you mean, Senior Brother??? I’m not that scary, right?”

“I’ve told you! If you can easily cut down those demon souls, it means you can easily cut him down too. Of course, I’m not saying you actually would. It’s just that your aura is too overwhelming; if it flares up, he could really be gone.”

Lin Nuo spread his hands, thinking how nowadays, the righteous protagonists were the real dangers. The cycle of karma at work, you’re reaping what you sow.

“Um… then what… should I do…?”

“Just find a place to sit and don’t move around. What’s the rush? Just wait until you return to normal! Seriously, panicking over something so minor.”

Lin Nuo critiqued Su Kexin, wondering why she couldn’t be a bit more composed like him; after all, she was the protagonist!

The old man had to take a detour, avoiding Su Kexin, and moved closer to Lin Nuo, treating Su Kexin like a bomb, keeping a safe distance. Otherwise, if she exploded, they’d both be done for.

Feeling alienated by her family, Su Kexin felt very hurt. The more her emotions wavered, the greater the energy fluctuations. Lin Nuo and the others felt the site vibrating, as if the space itself was about to collapse.

With this kind of overwhelming situation, can you stay a little calmer, Sister Su? We can’t be buried here!

“I told you to stop overthinking! It’s perfectly normal for us to be unable to get away in this state. Besides, we’re not running anywhere, so why are you so anxious? Show a bit of a general’s composure; you’re no longer that fledgling practitioner.”

Lin Nuo had to give Su Kexin a pep talk; how ridiculous! He had to be her emotional mentor now.

Before they noticed, the old man had almost reached Lin Nuo, cautiously stepping, wary of Su Kexin as if she were an enemy.

“Have you ever encountered anyone like her before?” Lin Nuo asked the old man, pointing at Su Kexin.

“No, this is my first time seeing such a situation. From what I’ve heard, this has never occurred before; we are truly in uncharted territory here.”

The old man provided a high evaluation, but it was filled with concern; such great power inevitably came with hidden dangers.

It’s like a news item when someone who’s been alive for a hundred years finally witnesses something extraordinary. This old man, with his white hair, never expected to see such a shocking scene, and it was actually his granddaughter Su Kexin. While he marveled at the younger generation pushing the older generation aside, he also questioned Su Kexin’s lineage.

What’s up with that? No one in the family has this ability for over ten generations, and suddenly here comes Su Kexin? Is it the family bloodline?

As he pondered, the old man made it to Lin Nuo’s side, where Lin Nuo appeared much calmer, obviously someone who had seen it all.

“Is this related to the argument you both had earlier?” the old man asked.

“Yes. But… what do you mean by ‘both of you’?”

“With your relationship, it’s only a matter of time before it happens.”

“A matter of time? Look at her state! If she gets upset, you and I are going straight to the underworld for our registration! You must be cautious of her; you don’t really think someone like her can stay demonic for long, do you?”

“Young man, there are indeed cases of practitioners and demon practitioners living together until they’re old. Why are you so pessimistic? Don’t you hope for that scene?”

The old man spoke softly to avoid Su Kexin overhearing; if her emotions fluctuated, who knows what would happen? They might end up facing a spatial collapse.

“What you’re saying cannot apply here. She’s a once-in-a-century talent; her power is unprecedented. This is what you said. Do you really think your examples can apply to her? Just because she seems conscious now, it might be her powers lying in wait. Once she lets her guard down, she might go on a rampage. The best case is to completely eliminate that power, but currently, there’s no way to resolve it.”

Lin Nuo countered the old man’s words, struggling to believe he would end up with Su Kexin.

This was the protagonist’s destined ability, a clear case of fate’s arrangement, while he was pushed into opposition against Su Kexin. The fact that they could even discuss marriage was already a miracle.

“You’re all remarkable young people; since there are no precedents, then you should create your own. If you truly want to do it, nothing can stand in your way.”

The old man caressed his long beard, chuckling softly.

【The old man is really optimistic about solving problems; since he hasn’t got much time left, isn’t it better to be more cheerful than gloomy?】

Lin Nuo didn’t respond, thinking he was clueless, and saying more would just lead to an argument.

Su Kexin had no idea what conversation Lin Nuo and her grandpa were having; she felt somewhat excluded and very lonely.

How annoying! When can I get rid of this ability?

I also want to live an ordinary life, hanging out with Senior Brother and the others, enjoying a happy, normal life, reveling in familial bliss.

As Su Kexin thought about this, a headache began to form, and then a sharp pain hit, making the entire sealed space tremble even more violently.

“What now? Another B disturbance?” Lin Nuo grumbled.
