"so……"

Hei Yang seized on the key point: "You fainted in front of the toilet? Did you manage to pull up your pants?"

"That's not the key point at all!"

The second grandfather rubbed his temples, feeling like he was about to develop dementia from anger: "The key thing is that the man in black's target was actually Xiao Chen!"

When I woke up from my coma, I immediately felt a sharp pain in my brain, as if it were a paste.

Knowing the situation was urgent, I quickly notified those four old guys, asking them to investigate the matter secretly and help protect Xiao Chen and the Hei family.

"And then?"

"Then came the mental damage; the condition would fluctuate, and it would get worse and worse."

"That's it..."

Hei Yang nodded thoughtfully.

Because the "Night Break Pill" can replenish energy and treat mental damage, it was effective in treating my second grandfather's symptoms.

After using Shattered Reality, he also suffered from energy depletion and needed the Night-Staying Pill to heal.

Therefore, does using an overly fragmented reality equate to Alzheimer's disease?!

Hei Yang couldn't help but imagine Hong Li wiping his mouth with a kind expression, and then him calling for his mother while wearing open-crotch pants...

Hiss! Forbidden technique! Bah, evil magic!

Unless absolutely necessary, never use that trick again...

"call--"

Hei Yang scratched his head: "So, do you have a clue?"

"So, have the other four families discovered anything?"

"of course."

Second Grandfather revealed a proud expression: "Don't look at our Five Colors family looking so miserable now. It's just that we were caught off guard and got the first move."

Four whole years, a deep-seated hatred. If we still can't find anything out after four years, we might as well quit the capital and slink away with our tails between our legs.

Wow, that's well said!

Hei Yang was immediately impressed by his second grandfather's imposing and domineering presence: "So here's the question: why is our family in such a miserable state now?"

Although Hei Yang didn't like his cousin Hei Changhong's actions, he could still sense the precarious situation the Hei family was in, being driven to the brink of despair.

"Ah, well, it's not actually as bad as you imagined..."

Second Grandfather suddenly revealed a sly expression: "Didn't Changhong tell you before that after hearing the news, the remaining young and strong disciples of my Hei family all ran away or scattered, which is why there are only a few big cats and small cats left?"

"uh-huh?"

That's just an illusion.

Second Grandfather shook his head: "How could the Hei family be so spineless? Besides, their roots are here, and they share the same blood as us. How could they suddenly betray us like that?"

They all went on missions, and over the past four years, countless pieces of important intelligence have come from their hands.

Changhong genuinely didn't know; we deliberately didn't tell him the truth to avoid revealing our secret.

If Changhong is a shield, protecting the family and helping it stand firm amidst storms and turmoil.

Those tribesmen who were sent out are our spears. Only by finding the enemy's heart and striking them dead, leaving them no chance to recover, can we finally rest easy.

In fact, even if Changhong is incompetent and is forced into a so-called desperate situation by the other party's deliberate suppression, the Hei family will not truly perish. The other four families are not just watching from the sidelines; they have helped a lot over the years and shouldered most of the pressure.

Otherwise, do you think the mastermind behind the scenes could swallow up so many cultivation forces, and instead take four years to plan against a family with almost no cultivators?

It may seem that the mastermind behind the scenes has been targeting our Hei family for the past four years, but in reality, the forces that have been secretly vying with them are all the forces that suffered losses back then.

On the surface, it seems as if we have been thrown out and treated as expendable pawns.

In reality, because we revealed our hand in advance, those people lowered their guard and exposed our family prematurely.

This can be seen as a form of assistance from the other four families, especially the Hei family, who suffered the most significant losses.

The second grandfather showed a strong sense of trust in his seemingly magical grandson who could solve his mental problems.

Regardless of whether Hei Yang could understand, he rattled off a bunch of riddles, revealing a shrewd and calculating expression.

"I see."

Hei Yang suddenly realized and asked curiously, "So, where is our actual investigation progress now?"

"Um……"

After a moment of deep thought, the second grandfather said with a solemn expression, "We have discovered that what happened back then was not a coincidence, but rather that there was a mastermind behind it all!"

"Hmm, what next?"

"What then?"

"And then what were the results of the investigation?"

"I don't know either."

Hei Yang: "..."

Second Grandfather: "..."

"no……"

Hei Yang felt a toothache: "So, after all that talk, four years of investigation and you've made less progress than you even managed to get by going to the bathroom?!"

"Well, you can't say that."

Grandpa chuckled and scratched his head: "They must have found out something, but they just didn't tell me."

Occasionally, when I was lucid, they would come over and just comfort me, saying things like, "The operation is about to close in," or something like that.

"What are you..."

Hei Yang instantly realized what was going on and gave a subtle look: "You're being rejected, aren't you?"

"Nonsense, this is just... a reasonable way to avoid risks!"

Second Grandfather glared at Hei Yang: "They were afraid that I wouldn't be able to keep my head straight and would accidentally reveal everything that should and shouldn't be said, causing the plan to fail. That's why they kept it from me. I agreed to it. I wasn't being ostracized at all!"

"walk slowly."

Hei Yang sighed: "If I want to know the specifics, I'll have to go to the Qing family and ask around, right?"

"Yeah, that's right."

Second Grandfather nodded and whispered, "After you find out, remember to come back and tell me secretly. They've been keeping it a secret all these years, and I really want them to have discovered something!"

Chapter 83: Occasionally, I don't stay up all night, and I feel good about myself, but in reality, I'm still a lazy dog ​​the next day.

"Hmm~ Hmph~ La la~"

Hongli hummed an unknown tune as she walked briskly through this somewhat unfamiliar city.

Early in the morning, the bustling commercial street of Five Elements City was already quite noisy. Cultivators disliked this noise, believing that too much worldly atmosphere would affect their cultivation. However, Hong Li felt as if she had returned to the human world.

For countless days, by the window of the inn, beside the boy, Hongli always saw similar scenes.

However, this is already another huge city.

and……

Looking up at the rising sun that seemed so close, the girl couldn't help but squint.

"Little Fire, let me tell you something. When a diligent person suddenly realizes that they overslept, they feel a sense of guilt for their decadence."

Hong Li curled her lips into a smug smile: "But a lazy dog ​​only needs to get up early one day to feel self-satisfied: Ah, good morning world, I got up early today, which proves that I have said goodbye to the past and am striving to become a better, brand new me."

But in reality, even when it's late at night, the lazybones will still stay up until midnight, and then regret it the next day and continue to laze in bed...

And right now, I'm in a state of self-satisfaction and self-satisfaction!

"Mom, aren't you using your self-awareness in the wrong place? I don't think this is something to be proud of..."

A tuft of hair on Hongli's head suddenly bounced, and Xiaoli Huohe poked her little head out, curiously looking around at the bustling traffic and crowds: "The diligent person, does that refer to Aunt Xingyun?"

"I think she could be considered hardworking, right?"

Hongli suddenly remembered something, reached into the crevice of her clothes and rummaged around for a while, pulling out a small note: "I almost forgot, she also asked me to buy things for her..."

Hmm, let me see, what she wants to buy... Ah?

"What happened?"

Little Firecracker curiously peered into Hongli's hand: "Mom, don't you recognize some of the words?"

"Hmm? Who are you looking down on?"

Hongli rolled her eyes at Xiaohuo: "When she was seven years old, the teacher had already told my parents: This child has completed her apprenticeship, and I have nothing more to teach her."

Do you even understand the value of being a top student? It's ridiculous! How could a shopping list possibly have words I can't understand?

After a pause, Hongli suddenly remembered something, tilted her body to the side to avoid the crowd in front of her that had started a dispute for some unknown reason, and continued to walk forward as if nothing had happened.
