At the same time Ning Wangshu was paying respects to his mother, in a villa in Linchuan City.
"Grandpa, I'm here to see you! And maybe grab a meal while I'm at it, hehe..."
Lin Qingzhu pushed open the villa door, calling out excitedly.
Hearing her voice, an elderly man sitting in the living room looked up with a cheerful smile, "You little girl, you finally decided to come see your grandpa."
"I'll have Auntie Liu make a couple more dishes for you..."
As he spoke, the old man began to get up.
At that moment, Lin Qingzhu suddenly noticed her grandfather's pale face, devoid of color, and was startled. She hurried forward to support him, saying, "Grandpa, what's wrong? Sit down, don't get up..."
The old man waved his hand with a smile, "It's nothing, grandpa's fine. Don't worry too much, and don't tell your parents, or they'll come over and bother me again..."
Seeing her grandfather's nonchalant demeanor, Lin Qingzhu was so anxious she almost cried, "Grandpa, what's going on? Why do you look so unwell?"
Lin Anguo glanced at his granddaughter and sighed helplessly, "Don't worry, grandpa's old life is tough. It's just a minor injury, and with some rest, I'll slowly recover."
"Injured?"
Lin Qingzhu was taken aback, frowning in surprise, "Grandpa, how did you get injured? Did you forcefully try to break through to the Golden Elixir stage and suffer a Qi Deviation?"
"Otherwise, with your cultivation, who could possibly harm you?"
Lin Anguo smiled wryly, "Little girl, I used to think there weren't many who could harm me in this world, but this time, I've learned what it means that there's always someone better out there..."
"Hmm? Grandpa, you mean... someone actually hurt you? Who could possibly do that?"
Lin Qingzhu was shocked.
Lin Anguo sighed and didn't hide it, saying, "Last night, a big boss invited me over... Later, his son returned, and I discovered a deadly curse seal had been placed in his body."
"So I mentioned it to the big boss, and he asked me to help remove the curse seal from his son. I didn't think much of it and took action."
"Who knew, just as the curse seal was about to be successfully removed, the person who cast it sensed it and performed remote spellcasting, severely injuring me!"
This Lin Anguo was indeed the old man from Xu Yiming's house the previous night.
Hearing her grandfather's words, Lin Qingzhu was astonished, her eyes wide open, "Wha-what!? Remote spellcasting severely injured you?"
Lin Anguo nodded slightly, "If I'm not mistaken, that person's cultivation must have reached the Golden Elixir stage! Otherwise, there's no way they could have severely injured me with just remote spellcasting!"
"Moreover, the person showed mercy, only giving me a warning. Otherwise, with the power unleashed by that curse seal, if it had all rebounded on me, you probably wouldn't be seeing grandpa now..."
Saying this, Lin Anguo smiled wryly, feeling a bit fortunate.
"Hiss..."
Lin Qingzhu took a deep breath, her heart filled with shock!
She knew her grandfather's cultivation level very well; he had reached the peak of the Transformation stage, just one step away from the Golden Elixir stage!
Not to mention in the small Linchuan, even in the entire cultivation world, her grandfather was definitely a notable figure!
But now, her grandfather was severely injured by someone with just remote spellcasting...
One can imagine how shocked Lin Qingzhu was!
Seeing his granddaughter's expression, Lin Anguo smiled, patted her hand, and said, "Don't worry, although grandpa's injuries are serious, they haven't affected my foundation. It just takes some time to recuperate."
Lin Qingzhu snapped back to reality, looking at her grandfather, and couldn't help but ask, "Grandpa, do you know who injured you? In the cultivation world, there are only a few known to have reached the Golden Elixir stage."
Lin Anguo pondered for a moment, then shook his head, "This... is hard to say!"
"Moreover, although there are only a few known Golden Elixir stage experts in the cultivation world, there are still some hidden experts that are unknown."
Pausing, Lin Anguo smiled again, "Alright, let's not talk about this. Don't you have classes this afternoon? I'll have Auntie Liu hurry and make lunch so you won't be late for class..."
"Okay! Grandpa, take good care of yourself during this time. I'll come visit you whenever I can!"
Lin Qingzhu said.
Lin Anguo nodded with a smile, "Alright, grandpa knows!"
"By the way, you have less than half a month until the college entrance exam. Have you decided which school you want to apply to and what major you want to study?" Read this novel at novelping.com for the best experience.
Hearing this, Lin Qingzhu said, "I'm not sure yet. It depends on how well I do in the exam."
"Alright. Make sure to study hard during this time and aim for a good score on the exam!"
Lin Anguo smiled.
...
Qingniu Mountain Cemetery.
After burning all the spirit money, Ning Wangshu stood in front of his mother's grave for a long time before finally taking a deep breath and saying to his sister beside him, "Alright, Ruoxuan, I'll take you back to school first."
"You haven't had lunch yet, so make sure to eat something later and then head back to school for classes..."
"Okay."
Ning Ruoxuan replied, then asked, "Brother, what about you? Did you make any money this morning? And when do you plan to return to school to study?"
Ning Wangshu smiled, "I made some money, about a million. This afternoon, I plan to buy some things and also get my identity card and bank card reissued."
"Then... if there's nothing else, I should be back at school by tomorrow!"
Hearing this, Ning Ruoxuan was shocked and couldn't help but exclaim, "A million!?"
"Brother, you're... you're amazing! You made so much money in just one morning!?"
Ning Ruoxuan's eyes widened.
To her, a million was an astronomical figure, but her brother made that much in just one morning, no wonder she was so shocked!
Ning Wangshu laughed, "It's alright, just a million. For me, making money is easy."
"So, you don't have to be so frugal anymore. With your brother here, buy whatever you want to eat or have, I can afford it."
Saying this, he handed over the two stacks of cash he had taken from the suitcase earlier to Ning Ruoxuan, "Here, Ruoxuan, take these twenty thousand first."
"Once I get my bank card sorted and deposit the money, I'll transfer some to you..."
Ning Ruoxuan quickly waved her hand, "No, brother, I still have a few thousand myself, you keep the money. It's not safe for me to carry so much cash."
Ning Wangshu thought about it and agreed, "Alright. Then once I get my bank card sorted and deposit the money, I'll transfer it to you directly!"
