The two of them found a secluded spot. Leng Zhicheng pointed to the ground beneath his feet. "Back then, I moved my entire family to this old estate simply to take refuge and preserve the Leng Family bloodline."
Hearing this, Leng Ning's expression changed drastically. "Don't tell me you all foresaw the disaster that would befall our Leng Family? Is that why you and Grandpa chose to live apart—to avoid the fate of having the entire family wiped out?"
A look of shame crossed Leng Zhicheng's face. "That's right. If I hadn't chosen to leave and had become the Leng Family Patriarch instead, the branch of the family wiped out today would have been mine."
"That... That's impossible!" Leng Ning was incredulous.
"Actually, according to the will left by Grandpa Zeng, it should have been your grandfather's branch of the family that moved to this old estate. It's just a shame..." Leng Zhicheng shook his head, unwilling to continue.
"A shame about what?" Leng Ning asked urgently.
