Chapter 681: Truth and Lies 1
Xia Yinian handed the two books in her hands over to the old master and personally pushed him, leaving the hall."Grandpa, weren’t you ever worried that your hard work would be wasted in my hands when you gave me those two treasured books?"
The old master shook his head, whispering, "Grandpa can tell that you are a rare talent in alchemy, why would I have such worries?"
"You are praise me too much, Yinian. I’m just a novice." Xia Yinian bit her lip.
"Exactly because you are a novice, Grandpa knows I’m not mistaken. Some people are born with skills, and as long as they are willing to work hard, they can achieve great success."
"It’s a talent, not something that everyone can have at will, even Chuxue lacks the kind of talent you have." The old master sighed lightly.
"Grandpa, why sigh all of a sudden?" Xia Yinian frowned.
She was genuinely passionate about alchemy; every time she thought about alchemy, every cell in her body would become extremely excited.
Xia Yinian only felt that it was a person’s interest; she had never thought about talent.
"All of us, the Feng Family, are geniuses in alchemy. Your great-grandpa was, and so am I, your grandpa."
"And my eldest son, Feng Sui, is also very impressive. Unfortunately, Chuxue did not inherit the good genes from her dad."
Speaking of this, the old master felt somewhat regretful.
Mr. Feng only had one daughter, and the other three sons were adopted.
Mr. Two has one son and two daughters, but none of them satisfy the old master.
Rather than saying the old master’s secret recipe hasn’t found the right person yet, it is more accurate to say he has actually been waiting for his little granddaughter to return.
However, during these days of interaction, the old master became very aware that Xia Chuxue did not possess this talent.
The pain of the old man, Xia Yinian saw it all.
The grandpa, unable to find a successor, would of course focus his energy on the daughter of the talented Mr. Feng.
Regrettably, the granddaughter found was not a genius in alchemy, and of course, he would be very disappointed.
No wonder the grandpa sighed when talking about Xia Chuxue.
She simply doesn’t like alchemy, a point which Xia Yinian was more sure about than anyone.
"Third Young Master is also very impressive, should Grandpa not have confidence in his own grandson?" Xia Yinian slightly curved up the corners of her mouth, continuing forward.
Although the Third Young Master was not his biological grandson, he really was perfect, not only capable but also absolutely filial.
"Ah Yen is very good, and so are the eldest and the second, it’s a pity that their specialty is not in alchemy."
After another sigh, the old master’s mood seemed to suddenly improve.
"Thankfully, Heaven has been kind to me by allowing me to meet you in my lifetime."
"Grandpa, stop saying such things; it puts a lot of pressure on me," Xia Yinian complained.
Was she not also fortunate? To meet such an earnest elder.
Speaking of which, it’s really thanks to Grandma Feng; if it weren’t for her resembling her, she wouldn’t have received the grandpa’s affection.
However, if she resembled Grandma Feng, then Xia Chuxue surely did not. Anyway, there was nothing alike between the two.
Thinking back to the grandpa’s earlier words, Xia Yinian always felt a weird feeling in her heart, but what that feeling was, she couldn’t clearly identify.
Upon reaching Jasmine Forest and seeing the blooming pure white little blossoms, Xia Yinian instantly forgot all her troubles.
She let go of the old master’s wheelchair and ran towards the Jasmine Forest.
In just a few days, all those flower buds ready to bloom had blossomed, the fragrance was intense.
First sniff is comforting; second sniff is delightful!
