Adopting A Stray Cat Chapter 1125: The Mysterious Grand Elderly

Chapter 1125: Chapter 1125: The Mysterious Grand Elderly

"Grandpa, I brought Master Fairy to see you." Ah Xia stepped into the courtyard and called loudly toward the house.

Soon, an elderly man ca out of the house. He looked about seventy years old, his hair completely white, his face deeply wrinkled, his bent back making him appear frail and ancient.

Seeing Ah Xia bring a guest ho, the old man seed joyful, with a beaming smile greeting them warmly.

Ah Xia introduced Qin Sisi specially, telling him that she was his Master Fairy who had just taught him the two magic skills he had recently learned.

The old man hastily expressed gratitude to Qin Sisi with great sincerity.

Being thanked by soone of such an advanced age made Qin Sisi feel awkward. She hurriedly said it was unnecessary.

When the old man’s gaze fell upon Ye You, however, his smile froze instantly, and his thin body began to tremble slightly.

Ye You was initially puzzled but soon realized sothing. He asked solemnly, "Elder, do you know ?"

The old man shuddered at Ye You’s question, then fell to his knees with a loud "thump," his voice hoarse as he said, "Greetings, Your Royal Highness."

Ye You took a step back and signaled Yun Wang and Yun Cheng with a glance.

The two brothers quickly stepped forward to help the old man up, gently reassuring him.

The old man’s cloudy eyes remained fixed on Ye You, his expression complex—both joyful and sorrowful.

Ah Xia was already dumbfounded by the scene before him. He approached the old man, holding his hand and asking, "Grandpa, what are you saying? His Royal Highness?"

The old man slowly nodded and pointed at Ye You, saying, "Child, this is His Royal Highness of the Demon Sacred Realm."

Ah Xia turned to look at Ye You, his face full of disbelief.

Ye You, too, felt incredulous. Looking at the old man, he asked, "Elder, how do you know ?"

The old man let out a deep sigh and replied, "More than twenty years ago, when you were born, I accompanied the then Clan Leader of the Changkong family to Fengge Wang City to attend your hundred-day banquet. At that ti, Sage Ruler Tian Yu had already nad you, and Patroness Gewan carried you to the banquet. Your pair of violet eyes amazed everyone present. Master Yipiao from the Heavenly Magic God’s Castle declared on the spot, ’Red shall precede purple, and your nobility shall be unparalleled.’"

His voice grew distant as he spoke, his mories seemingly transporting him back to that mont years ago. The birth of the young prince brought jubilation to the Demon Sacred Realm, with congratulations pouring in from all directions. The Jiuxi Royal Family soared to glory, thriving like the midday sun.

Who would have thought that in a re twenty years, the Jiuxi Royal Family would face a catastrophic disaster, plunging the Demon Sacred Realm into turmoil?

The young people were all stunned, unable to believe that the seemingly frail old man had such an illustrious past.

"Grandpa, are you saying that you’ve t Sage Ruler Tian Yu?" Ah Xia stared at his grandfather, struggling to discern whether his only kin’s words were true.

Growing up with his grandfather, Ah Xia had always viewed him as his ntor in magic practice. Yet, his grandfather’s physical condition had always been weak; Ah Xia had never seen him use magical power.

Ah Xia had assud his grandfather had never activated his Magic Source. Perhaps, by once having magic-wielding friends, he gained a semblance of knowledge about magic practices.

Ye You wasn’t ready to believe the sudden claims of a stranger. He continued to question, "Elder, my hundred-day banquet could never have been attended by just anyone. Who are you exactly?"

Unperturbed by Ye You’s suspicion, the old man calmly explained, "My na is Gong Zhuo. During the tenure of the previous Clan Leader of the Changkong family, I served as the Grand Elder of Midair City."

Ah Xia’s jaw dropped in shock, never expecting his grandfather to possess such a distinguished status.

That identity would indeed make him eligible for Ye You’s hundred-day banquet, but re words couldn’t fully earn Ye You’s trust.

Ye You probed further, "I can tell you don’t have magical power. Back then, it’s impossible for Midair City’s Grand Elder to be soone without an activated Magic Source, isn’t it?"

Without activating the Magic Source, one wouldn’t even qualify as a guard, let alone hold the title of Grand Elder.

Gong Zhuo’s expression darkened with rage, as if he had much to say but hesitated to voice it.

Ye You frowned and said sternly, "Elder, if you don’t reveal the whole truth, I won’t believe you."

With that, he pulled Qin Sisi’s hand, appearing ready to leave.

Gong Zhuo hurriedly blocked their path, pleading, "Your Highness, wait—please allow this old man to explain slowly."

Though family secrets were best kept hidden, when hope erged in the heart of despair, decorum could be cast aside.

The previous Clan Leader of the Changkong family was i Ji’s father. While exploring a secret realm in search of treasures, he suffered grievous injuries. Shortly after returning to Midair City, he passed away, handing the clan leadership to his eldest daughter, i Ji.

By then, i Ji had already married. Her husband possessed strikingly handso features—a picture-perfect match with i Ji.

However, after the birth of their son, Jiu Ge, i Ji’s husband abandoned her for a new relationship.

i Ji, born noble and endowed with stunning beauty, had always carried an air of arrogance and pride. Such degradation was unbearable.

Her husband’s magical power slightly exceeded hers. Displaying cleverness, i Ji avoided direct confrontation, opting instead to poison his food, leaving him stripped of mana and at her rcy.

i Ji dismbered her husband’s body into eight pieces and threw them off Soul-breaking Cliff.

The affair didn’t end there. Her husband’s betrayal was an unbearable humiliation to i Ji, altering her character profoundly. Once rely capricious and willful, she beca cruel and unpredictable after killing him.

She began to resent all loving couples in the world.

i Ji had a younger sister nad Liang Han. Shortly after her husband’s death, Liang Han gave birth to a son, her husband treating her with imnse kindness. The three flourished as a happy family.

This pierced i Ji with jealousy. On appearance, magical power, and status, she far outstripped her sister. Why was her sister allowed to live happily while she, the elder, suffered such humiliation?

Unable to tolerate her sister’s happiness, i Ji sched to seduce Liang Han’s husband. i Ji’s ’Body of a Pearl Woman’ enraptured Liang Han’s husband, who beca addicted to her charms. Though guilt toward his wife and child occasionally surfaced, i Ji’s sheer allure overwheld him.

Liang Han soon uncovered her husband’s affair with her sister. Being betrayed and deceived by those closest to her was agonizing. Liang Han, emotionally shattered, confronted i Ji, speaking harshly.

As clan leader, i Ji couldn’t endure such defiance. She inflicted grievous injuries upon Liang Han and summoned her husband, commanding him to throw his wife off Soul-breaking Cliff.
