"Is… is that Jing'er…"
"Qingshi great-grandfather, how come you are out here?"
Just then, a sweet voice sounded from behind.
Qingshi's expression slightly relaxed as he turned his head towards the approaching Xiao Jing and spoke gently, "Jing'er, where is your father?"
Xiao Jing was taken aback, biting her lip and falling silent.
An uneasy atmosphere began to spread, causing Qingshi to frown again, "Jing'er, you've always been a good child, don't lie to your great-grandfather. Tell me quickly, where has your father gone?"
Tears began to well up in Xiao Jing's eyes, and with a sob, she threw herself into Qingshi's arms and said pitifully, "Great-grandfather, it's my fault, I… I am to blame for my father's death!"
Qingshi's body gradually stiffened, and his complexion darkened instantly, "What did you say?"
