“Don’t you want to go back to see Grandfather?”

Qing Tian Lin saw her expression change and it looked as if her heart was wavering. He then quickly went on to continue: “Even though he had been extremely strict with you all that time, he did that only because he saw you as the future Head of the Family. You must know that he actually loves you very much deep in his heart. Don’t you want to go….. see how the old man is doing now?”

Qing Yu’s slender fingers were clenched up so tightly that her knuckles were beginning to turn white.

It took her awhile before her lips finally moved to speak, her tone sarcastic: “Are you joking with me?”

“Hasn’t Grandfather, already been driven to his grave from rage by you, his grandson who turned out to be worse than a beast?”

Qing Tian Lin responded with a mocking laugh. “He is still my kin afterall, I am not so heartless to have him exterminated.”

“Aren’t your hands already stained full with the blood of your kin?” Qing Yu sneered out of the corner of her mouth with an icy cold laugh.

“If I didn’t kill off those overambitious wolves from the branch families, they will come after my life one fine day. I was merely nipping the problem in the bud, to rid myself of any future trouble.”

Qing Tian Lin then asked in a highly nonchalant tone as he turned to look at Qing Yu: “What do you think? Do you want to go back? It is said that the portal will only open up for a very specific period and if we do not make it this time, I fear we will never encounter such a good opportunity anymore…..”

“Since when did you think we are on such good terms?” Qing Yu’s face was cold and impassive as she interrupted the man.

“No matter what you just said is true or false, I will never believe a word of it. Moreover, I will never want to go back there together with you. And since I’ve come here to this place, I believe that all of this has been predestined in some way, why should I obstinately continue to pursue my past?”

Qing Yu said those words slowly, her gaze calm as she looked straight at the man. She then continued: “I have been here in this world for many years and to me, all those memories of my past life have become unfamiliar and foreign, seeming so very far away and detached now. This place here, is the place that I should be in.”

That indifferent and highly nonchalant expression that had been on Qing Tian Lin’s face finally showed a crack. His eyes narrowed as he said to her: “Unfamiliar and foreign? That is the place you grew up in, the place that taught you happiness, anger, tears and joy! All those things should be so deeply etched in your memory, how can all of that possibly feel unfamiliar and foreign to you! ?”

The man’s face immediately became mildly tinged with anger.

For so many years, after having been reborn into another life over an immeasurable period, his entire life spent in pursuit of just this one young lady whom he saw as the one most suitable for him.
