Chapter 1227: The Truth Back Then

"Grandfather..."

Su Chengyu looked at Su Linyuan before him, who seemed as forlorn as a dying old man, with complex emotions in his heart.

The Su Linyuan before him bore no resemblance to the unmatched elegance of his prime, appearing nothing more than an old man on his last legs.

It was hard for Su Chengyu to imagine what Su Linyuan had gone through in the past to transform from such a spirited figure to his current state of utter despondency.

"Yu Er, I can tell you what happened back then, but you must promise me one thing,"

With a slight side glance, Su Linyuan said softly to Su Chengyu.

"What is that?"

"Whatever happened in the past and no matter who is implicated or casts a shadow, you must never do anything to disrupt the stability of Xia Country."

Su Chengyu's brows furrowed, and he spoke with an instinctive agitation, "Grandfather, what exactly do you mean by that?"

"You have to promise me first."

Without answering, Su Linyuan simply spoke again to Su Chengyu.
