C4 (2/2)

”Hahahaha …” Grandpa Sun faced the sky and laughed. I didn't know what he was laughing about, but this feeling was very uncomfortable.

”Destiny!” Your destiny is to take my place and be the next storyteller! ”

”If I were to take your place, I would have to leave my parents and leave this village!”

Grandpa Sun paused before nodding his head.

”Fine, I refuse!” I didn't want to see my mother's heart breaking again, and I didn't want to see my father older.

”Hehe, you still don't understand …” Your destiny cannot be refused by you! ” Grandpa Sun sighed. It was as if he had once struggled like the current me. He suddenly turned around and stared at me, saying word by word, ”You can only accept it!” The sound was so loud that my ears buzzed.

My heart turned cold and my breathing quickened. I didn't even have the heart to resist and didn't even dare to move! At this moment, Grandpa Sun no longer seemed like a human in my eyes. He seemed like a mountain, a towering mountain! I am so small and weak at his feet! What he said was the power of the heavens, and I couldn't reject him in the slightest! At this time, I still don't understand. Grandpa Sun is using his power to intimidate me!

”You should treasure it well. You don't have much time left, and I don't have much either.” After a few breaths of time, Grandpa Sun's face relaxed. He looked at me with a kind expression.

My heart shuddered as I slowly calmed my emotions. I believed what Grandpa Sun said to be true. I was powerless to resist. He could only endure the last bit of unwillingness as he continued to ask, ”Who is the one who wrote the story? Is there anyone else who writes stories? Aren't you an immortal?

Grandpa Sun smiled. ”I can't be considered an immortal. I can only say that I'm an immortal. There might be others who write stories, but my master and I haven't found anyone else.” As for the person who wrote this story, it is one of my lineage, called the Dao inscription! ”

”Dao inscription!” I muttered.

”That's right!” A light flashed in Grandpa Sun's eyes. ”Three thousand great Daos! Three thousand great Daos!” ”The meridian of my inscriptions is the author of this great dao!”

Then he turned to look at me, his voice full of passion: ”I've told you many stories, small or big. Every story is a kind of Dao! Although most of them were the same, the process was unique! ”This is also a kind of Dao. One day, all Daos will become one, and this will be the end of the Grand Dao — the Pathless Realm!”

I don't understand what Grandpa Sun is talking about, nor do I know any nonsense, but seeing how excited he is, I know that this is definitely something extraordinary!

Grandpa Sun calmed down and looked at me. ”Are you willing to be the person who follows the main road?”

From the day Grandpa Sun told me a story, my desire had already sprouted in my heart like a seed. However, the only bit of reason I have left told me that I still have my parents. I don't care about my dreams. I don't want to be an unfilial person.

I swallowed and shook my head.

”You don't have to refuse. From the look in your eyes, I can tell that you are very willing. And, you have to be willing. If you are afraid of being bound by the secular world, I can help you.”

Grandpa Sun's words are undoubtedly very attractive. Perhaps it is to prevent father and mother from being sad, or perhaps it is my selfishness that occupies my body and mind, or perhaps it is me who is afraid, really afraid … I nodded.

”If one day the destiny you mentioned really comes and I am unable to escape, then, please do me a favor!”

Grandpa Sun nodded, a trace of gratification flashing through his eyes.

”If you agree, you are my disciple. If I can do it, I will help you no matter how much help I have!”

”Alright,” I clenched my teeth, and said word by word, ”If that day ever comes, I hope that you can help me make everyone forget about me!” My heart is in extreme pain. At this moment, I finally understand what it means to be in pain from the heart. If my heart hurts, then it means that I am truly in pain … Grandpa Sun was stunned. It was clear that he was a bit shocked. ”Are you really willing?”

Tears welled in my eyes. How could I bear it! They are my parents, they are my friends! However, everything that needed to be faced had to be dealt with. Everything that needed to be resolved had to be dealt with. If fate really does come and I am powerless to resist it, then I might as well prepare in advance so that the one who is injured is limited to me!

Grandpa Sun promised me that, but in my heart, I still walked out of Grandpa Sun's house with great disappointment. Just as he was wiping away his tears and raising his head, he saw my parents standing at the entrance of Grandpa Sun's courtyard.

”Rich son …” The mother called out softly, and tears began to flow down her face. Father also sighed, and his expression was filled with incomparable pain.

I felt pain in my heart once again and forcefully endured it. I quickly walked forward and said with a smile, ”Father, Mother, don't worry. I've already told Grandpa Sun that I won't be leaving.”

”Really, really?” Mom hugged me and asked with unparalleled hope. Dad also had a look of surprise on his face.

I nodded. ”Really!”

In a flash, my mother threw her arms around me and burst into tears. Father was grinning from ear to ear, but as he laughed, tears began to fall.

Mom and Dad didn't suspect me, or maybe they really did. They just buried it in their hearts and chose to believe in me to comfort themselves.

Tonight, our family killed a chicken to celebrate, and we ate it very well. I only hope for the destiny that Grandpa Sun spoke of to not come, or perhaps, to come a little later. However, all of this may just be my extravagant hopes.

The next morning, my father did not go to work, and I did not go to class.

”Eh, Uncle Du, is Little Fatty here?” I went to Little Fatty's house and asked him to help me ask for a leave of absence from Mister.

”Oh, rich boy, he's in his room. Go in.” Uncle Du is a very warm-hearted person, he is a carpenter, his skills are not bad, and because of this his family is much richer than ours, but it is also true, he is prepared to take in another concubine, which will touch Aunt Du's bottom line, from time to time the two of them quarreled, often causing Little Fatty to be angry, this, early in the morning, Little Fatty was called by Aunt Du to the hall to talk about this matter.

As soon as I entered the room, I saw Little Fatty listening to Aunt Du with a bitter face, full of words like 'be honest as a person, don't be like your father' and 'be single-minded towards your wife'. I smiled bitterly, forget it, since you are my friend, then I will save you.

”Cough cough …” I pretended to cough twice. When Little Fatty raised his head and saw that it was me, a light flashed across his eyes. He got up and ran away, ”Mother, Fugui son called me to go to school, I'm leaving …” Only Aunt Du was left in shock.
