Chapter 616 (2/2)

Shi San nodded repeatedly in agreement.

Then.

Shi San glanced at the sky outside and then said to Lin Jing:

“Uncle Lin…”

“It’s getting late; you talk with grandpa for a while, and I’ll go cook for you.”

“My cooking skills are quite good, Uncle Lin, you must try it later…”

As he said this, Shi San seemed to suddenly remember something and stopped abruptly, then awkwardly asked Lin Jing:

“Sorry, Uncle Lin…”

“I just remembered, there’s a rumor in town that you immortals subsist on collecting mist and drinking dew; is it true that you don’t eat meals?”

Lin Jing responded:

“We cultivators can certainly fast, but it does not prevent us from eating; eating is still possible.”

“So that’s the case…” Shi San immediately became happy.

“Alright…”

“Please wait a moment, Uncle Lin; I’ll go cook right now.”

This remote little town rarely saw cultivators come by, but Shi San was quite relaxed with Lin Jing, a cultivator, showing no restraint at all.

Lin Jing believed others would definitely not be able to behave as naturally as Shi San did.

However.

His grandfather was a cultivator of exceptional strength, so it was likely that Shi San’s grandfather had also imparted some teachings to him.

Having said that, Shi San left the house and went into the courtyard, where there was a shed—that was their kitchen.

Arriving at the kitchen, Shi San immediately began to busily and skillfully cook…

Lin Jing then turned to look at Shi San’s grandfather.

However, Shi San’s grandfather was unhurriedly tidying up the house.

At the moment, he truly appeared just like an elderly man in the secular world.

While tidying up and talking with Lin Jing, he said:

“Shi San, the poor child…”

“In the tenth month of his pregnancy, his parents were ambushed by a hostile power and both were killed; he had just been born at that time…”

“Unfortunately, by the time I arrived it was already too late.

Not only was I unable to save his parents, Shi San too had sadly perished.

It was by using the Heaven-deceiving Secret Art that I managed to revive him…”

Shi San’s grandfather narrated Shi San’s experiences in a calm tone, but to Lin Jing, listening was profoundly shocking.

“And that is why Shi San cannot practice cultivation in this life, as much as the child longs to follow the path of cultivation.

Even I cannot change that…”

Shi San’s grandfather continued.

Lin Jing listened attentively, occasionally turning his head to look at Shi San outside the house.

At that moment, it seemed as though Shi San wasn’t aware of anything and continued with his work…

“The reason I’m here is partly because of Shi San’s body issues.”

“Also, another reason is…”

“Since he can’t embark on the path of cultivation, then I’ll accompany him for the rest of his life.”

Lin Jing listened in silence for a moment:

“Senior…”

Just as Lin Jing began to speak, Shi San’s grandfather interrupted him:

“The reason I’m telling you all this is actually because I have a favor to ask of you…”
