In another world, I am no longer a robot

Chapter 541 Exile in disguise

"Grandpa, are you saying that we were originally supposed to be from the Ten Cities, not the Five Kingdoms? Then since we are from the Ten Cities, why did we come to the Five Kingdoms?"

Mu Jinyue took the initiative to pour a cup of tea for the old man, then turned her head slightly, showing doubts.

Hot water vapor rose, and everything in front of him was wrapped in a haze.

Mu Jinyue didn't know if it was her own illusion or what, she actually felt that for a moment just now, she seemed to see some bright water in the old man's eyes.

It's just that if you look carefully, there is nothing, as if it was just a momentary illusion.

But no matter whether it is water or not, the nostalgic light in the old man's eyes cannot be faked.

"That's all in the past." The old man held the tea in his hand, and the scalding temperature came from the porcelain cup.

Even though it was hot, but at this moment, the old man didn't let go.

It seemed that only the pain caused by the burning could make him more awake.

Or thinking of something heavy, the old man has ignored the temperature of the cup.

But Mu Jinyue did not ignore this detail.

She took the cup from the old man's hand, and gently placed it on the stone table.

The sound of the porcelain colliding with the stone table was very soft, but also very brittle, like a sudden knock on the heart.

"Grandpa, if you feel the cup is hot, just put it down. If you feel heavy about the past, don't think about it anymore."

Mu Jinyue didn't know what was hidden in the old man's heart, but she just looked at him a little bit lost, and felt like a big rock was pressing heavily on her heart.

The old man finally smiled at Mu Jinyue's concern.

Originally, he clearly didn't want to mention why the Mu family came to the Five Kingdoms, but he didn't know why, and suddenly he spoke.

"I did something wrong back then, and it was exploited by others. Not long after my father took over the position of Patriarch, in order to stabilize some gossips of the tribe, he exiled my bloodline directly to the Five Kingdoms.

It is not called exile, because it was said that we should come to the five countries to reflect first, and then let us go back when the right opportunity comes.But this wait lasts for decades, and some of us seem to have been forgotten. "

The old man sighed softly.

Mu Jinyue asked: "The so-called introspection is just exile in disguise?"

The old man's hands were stiff, and even the expression on his face was abnormal for a moment.

Immediately, he lowered his head again and said with a smile: "No, it should be that there are too many things in the family, my father just forgot."

It's just that even though he said so, the old man knows better than anyone else.

Did you really forget?

How could it be forgotten!

Such a group of people was thrown in the Five Kingdoms, is it something that can be forgotten?

Even if others do, can a father forget his son?

It's just that the old man knew the real situation clearly in his heart, but he was still unwilling to admit it.

Whether you admit it or not, after so many years, the clearest answer is already in my heart.

The old man quietly put his callused hands under the table, and slowly closed them again.

Some things, being known by my granddaughter without even a chance to polish them, are still embarrassing after all.

"Grandpa, escaping won't solve the problem. The facts are already clear, our group has been abandoned. That being the case, from the moment we were abandoned, we are just the Mu family of the Five Kingdoms and have nothing to do with the Ten Cities. .They abandoned us, why should we go back to them?"
