Once suspicion arises, it's like a rolling boulder down a mountain—unstoppable.
After the initial joy, Elder Chen pondered the matter more deeply. The more he thought about it, the more something didn't sit right with him.
There were simply too many peculiarities in this situation.
Pointing them out explicitly would definitely be inappropriate.
So, after a moment's thought, Elder Chen turned to Chen Rourou, who wore an expectant look, and said with a chuckle, "Heh heh, Rourou, you've truly given your grandpa a big surprise today!"
"To think you taught yourself and mastered our Chen Family's Northern Sect's Eight Pieces of Brocade, and performed it so proficiently at that."
"This truly makes your grandpa feel both joy and regret!"
Saying this, the cunning old Elder Chen put on a remorseful expression, his face full of chagrin.
Seeing him like this, Chen Rourou couldn't help but feel curious, so she asked, "Joy and regret, Grandpa? Why do you say that?"
