After everyone was reborn, I was strictly disciplined.

Xie Jinghan was startled by Liu Xuan's overwhelming anger. His tone was somewhat flustered and embarrassed as he bowed to Liu Xuan and explained, "Father-in-law, please calm down. I heard from this Lu Chengyuan that..."

"Lu Chengyuan! Lu Chengyuan! All you ever think about is Lu Chengyuan!"

Before Xie Jinghan could finish speaking, he was abruptly interrupted by Xie Xingran's sharp and aggrieved sobs.

The little one lifted his head from Liu Xuan's clothes, his face streaked with tears. His chubby little hands clutched Liu Xuan's collar, while his other hand vigorously wiped away his tears. His eyes were red like a little rabbit's, and his nose was twitching.

"Are you Lu Chengyuan's father or my father? You believe everything he says without even giving me a chance to explain yourself."

"You raised your hand to hit me without even asking what happened! Do you even consider me your son?!"

He looked up, his little face streaked with tears, his voice choked with sobs and pitiful: "Grandpa, Mom, I hate him! Kick him out and let him be Lu Chengyuan's father!"

He then said to Liu Qingwan, "Mother, I don't want this father anymore. Get me a father who loves me. I don't want a father who only knows how to favor outsiders and only knows how to bully me!"

Xie Xingran wiped her tears haphazardly with her little hands, but the tears flowed like beads from a broken string, the more she wiped, the more there were, leaving wet marks on her cheeks and the tip of her nose. Her small body trembled slightly, and her pitiful appearance made Liu Xuanxin's heart clench.

"Oh, Ranran, don't cry, Ranran, don't cry."

Liu Xuan coaxed, "Grandpa's here, and Mom's here too. Let's not be angry, let's not stoop to his level, okay?"

"But everything I said is true!"

Seeing Liu Xuan's complete bias towards Xie Xingran and Lin Feng's hesitation, Lu Chengyuan became anxious: "It's him! He's been bullying me non-stop and even stole the jade pendant my mother gave me."

"Now he's even more ruthless, setting fire to my house, trying to burn my mother and sister alive in the flames. He's a heartless and cruel scoundrel!"

"You're talking nonsense!"

Xie Xingran trembled with anger at Lu Chengyuan's words, forgetting all about crying. She peeked out from Liu Xuan's arms, her round eyes glaring, and retorted sharply, her tone sharp and unyielding. She turned to Lin Feng, hands on her hips, her voice full of disdain and contempt:

"Senior Lin, you've seen this clearly. This great-grandson is an ungrateful wretch! He was the one who cried and begged me, kneeling before me, begging me to save his mother's life."

"I was kind-hearted and felt sorry for him, so I helped save his mother. And what happened? He turned around and badmouthed me, saying I trampled on his dignity!"

Xie Xingran snorted coldly, her disdain deepening, and explained the whole story clearly, word by word:

"If I hadn't intervened, his mother would have died from her illness long ago, and his sister would have starved to death on the streets!"

"Now he's turning around and blaming me, saying I insulted his dignity? Fine, then I'll put everything back the way it was, let his mother continue to suffer from illness, and let his sister continue to go hungry while selling things at his stall!"

"Then he can go and beg others, and see who will be as kind as me to help him!" Xie Xingran sneered, her eyes full of disdain.

"What's his dignity worth? If he were truly capable and had any backbone, why would he have lowered himself to kneel before me and beg for my life?"

Xie Xingran was eloquent, and her words left Lu Chengyuan red-faced and speechless. He could only clench his fists tightly, his eyes filled with resentment and unwillingness, but he couldn't utter a single word in rebuttal.

Xie Xingran had a clear plan in mind.

He had long seen through it; Lin Feng was already deeply disappointed with Lu Chengyuan's low-grade ten spiritual roots, and even vaguely harbored the thought of not wanting to acknowledge this great-grandson.

Indeed, Xie Xingran is a genius born with sword bones and fire marrow that recognize him as its master, while Lu Chengyuan is just a mediocre and gloomy good-for-nothing. Compared to the two, what is Lu Chengyuan?

His goal was to gradually ruin Lu Chengyuan's reputation in front of Lin Feng, making Lu Chengyuan completely infamous, and ideally, to make Lin Feng give up on him completely and lose his only support.

Then he'll slowly teach this ungrateful wretch a lesson and make him pay the price.

"And what about before? Before, you also...you also deliberately bullied me and humiliated me..."

Lu Chengyuan recovered his senses but was still unwilling to give up.

"Enough! Shut up!"

Lin Feng abruptly interrupted Lu Chengyuan, his tone filled with impatience and disgust. His gaze towards Lu Chengyuan was no longer biased; instead, it was filled with deep disappointment and contempt.

Having lived to such an old age and seen countless people, after listening to Xie Xingran's clear and logical accusations and seeing Lu Chengyuan's flustered and incoherent appearance, how could he not notice?

What Xie Xingran said is most likely true.

His newly recognized great-grandson did indeed do something to wrong Xie Xingran.

Xie Xingran saved his mother and sister, giving them a way out. Instead of being grateful, he repaid kindness with enmity, turned around and blamed them, and even stirred up a conflict between Xie Jinghan and his wife and Liu Xuan. No matter how you look at it, he was in the wrong.

Lin Feng didn't know how Xie Xingran had treated Lu Chengyuan before. Perhaps she was a bit arrogant and had offended him with her words, but the fact that Xie Xingran had saved Lu Chengyuan's mother and sister was enough to offset all the unpleasantness.

A life-saving grace is the greatest kindness in the world.

Lin Feng suppressed his displeasure and disappointment, turned to look at Liu Xuan, his expression respectful, and bowed to him again, his tone sincere:

"Brother Liu, I was negligent just now. I know about Ranran's grievances."

"I will personally visit Ranran later to apologize and give her an explanation. As for Lu Chengyuan, leave him to me, okay?"

Lin Feng did not want to fall out with Liu Xuan because of a great-grandson he had just met and who was so incompetent.

It should be noted that all the pills needed by the Lin family and Cangfeng Valley are provided by the Fire Marrow Pill Holy Land. Not only are they inexpensive and plentiful, but their efficacy far surpasses that of pills from other places, making them an indispensable aid to Cangfeng Valley.

He absolutely could not lose such a valuable partner as the Fire Marrow Pill Holy Land because of a good-for-nothing; that would be a huge loss.

Liu Xuan held Xie Xingran in his arms, still not saying a word. He gently patted Xie Xingran's back to coax him, while glaring at Xie Jinghan with icy eyes, his dissatisfaction almost overflowing.

He was becoming increasingly dissatisfied with his son-in-law, Xie Jinghan. From the very beginning, he felt that Xie Jinghan did not cherish Ranran and was too indifferent to his grandson.

But he never expected that Xie Jinghan would go so far.

Instead of caring for his own son, he helps an outsider, even a lowly disciple, to bully his child. Is this the kind of thing a father should do?

And that good-for-nothing Lu Chengyuan, we shouldn't have recruited him into the Holy Land in the first place. I don't know what was wrong with the person in charge of recruiting disciples, that they would recruit such a gloomy and ungrateful person and cause so much trouble.

After a long while, Liu Xuan slowly withdrew his gaze from Xie Jinghan and looked at Lin Feng. His expression remained indifferent, and he simply waved his hand, his tone carrying a hint of impatience:

"Suit yourself. But I have only one request: from now on, Lu Chengyuan must never appear in front of my grandson again."

At this point, a hint of murderous intent flashed in Liu Xuan's eyes, and his tone was icy and chilling, "Otherwise, even if he is of your bloodline and a member of the Lin family, I will still kill him without hesitation and without mercy."

"Naturally! Naturally!"

Lin Feng nodded hurriedly in agreement, his tone respectful, not daring to have the slightest objection, "Brother Liu, rest assured, after I return, I will definitely discipline Lu Chengyuan strictly and will never let him appear in front of Ranran again, disturbing Ranran's peace."

Lin Feng remained silent for a moment, his gaze falling on Xie Xingran, a hint of covetousness and admiration flashing in his eyes.

Xie Xingran's words were sharp and clear, and he exuded an innate arrogance. In addition, he possessed a natural sword bone, making him a rare talent for swordsmanship.

I couldn't help but feel a little itchy.

Thinking this, Lin Feng looked at Liu Xuan again, his tone both tentative and sincere: "Brother Liu, I have a request. Ranran possesses innate sword talent and is a once-in-a-century sword-training prodigy. Our Cangfeng Valley is a holy land of swordsmanship in the world, with abundant teachers and exquisite techniques."

"Could we allow Ranran to study swordsmanship at Cangfeng Valley? I will personally select the best master to teach him and devote all the resources of Cangfeng Valley to nurture him into a grandmaster of swordsmanship, so as not to let down his innate talent."
