Chapter 3601: 4.1201 What's Past is Past

"Good granddaughter, can you tell your great-grandpa about your grand-master now?"

"Back in the day, that old lady and I talked for three days and nights, discussing swordplay and the path of cultivation. That old woman was actually very perceptive, but it was funny, she just wouldn't return to Shenzhou no matter what." As he spoke, the old man sighed with a troubled expression, "Oh, by the way, how is that old woman doing now?"

Qiao Mu turned her small face and looked deeply at him. "Many years ago, the Six Prefectures led their forces to besiege the Divine Water Sect. To protect her many senior sisters' retreat, my grand-master self-destructed, her soul scattering."

The old man burst into tears with a "wah" sound.

Although Qiao Mu really wanted to mock the old man, she ultimately couldn't bring herself to laugh. She merely said indifferently, "I've already avenged the Six Prefectures. Those who besieged my Divine Water Sect back then all met a terrible end."

"They didn't even get the chance for their souls to scatter."

Qiao Mu said coldly, "Because I wanted to restrain their living souls, making them slaves and servants for generations, to brave fire and water for the future of my Divine Water Sect. I want them to suffer a fate worse than death."

Her tone was so cold that even the old man couldn't help but slightly avert his gaze, his soul body feeling a sudden chill.

In fact, there were many like Liu Yizhi who were refined into automatons.

Some remained by Mo Lian's side, while others were currently left within the Divine Water Sect at Cloud Vista Peak.

"Good granddaughter, were you just trying to mock your great-grandpa?"

Qiao Mu silently looked at him.

The old man sighed, "Your grand-master back then insisted on staying in the lower star domain, taking in so many poor female disciples. Her entire being was devoted to establishing the Divine Water Sect."

"I wanted her to travel with me, but she had to be willing, right?"

Qiao Mu glanced at him, sweeping him with a look of extreme disdain. "Did you ask?"

The old man sat there motionless, as if struck by lightning.

"You didn't ask, so how would you know what she was thinking?" Grand Master Qiao Qiao continued to ruthlessly stab at the old man's heart. "But what's the use of saying all this now? What's past is past."

"You can't go back," Qiao Mu said coldly.

Actually, she most despised indecisive people. If you have something to say, just say it. What's with all the hesitation and trepidation? It's annoying! If you speak and get rejected, you'll only be heartbroken once, then you can cut ties cleanly.

If you don't say anything and just dilly-dally, who knows what's on your mind?

If Qiao Qiao's Lian was also so hesitant and timid in speaking, Grand Master Qiao Qiao probably wouldn't have thought much of him even after ten thousand years...

Grand Master Qiao Qiao had clearly forgotten that when they first met, His Royal Highness the Crown Prince could completely read her thoughts, so there was no communication barrier at all!

Her granddaughter's ruthless stabs were truly unkind, but the old man, though heartbroken, had nothing to say.

The old man seemed to suddenly lose his talkative nature, sitting beside her blankly, staring fixedly at the stream in a daze.

"Good granddaughter, do you have any wine?"

"You're a soul body, you can't drink wine," Qiao Mu retorted expressionlessly.

The old man immediately showed a bitter face. "Can't I at least smell the wine?"

Qiao Mu casually waved her hand, and a pot of chrysanthemum wine appeared in her grasp.
