The Rise of the Fallen Prodigy

He stood at the gate and looked out.

After a moment, a figure was indeed seen coming this way.

Liam Smith became a little more convinced of the old man's words, and a little enthusiastic.

When someone came up to him, Liam Smith saw in the moonlight that he was a thin, kind-looking old man in a Smith familyElder outfit, with a full head of silver hair and a slightly haggard look in his eyes.

"Grandpa." Liam Smith is kind of sweet.

Theodore Smith, the Third Elder of the Smith family, is also Liam Smith's grandfather.

At the moment, he is also carrying a jar of wine and a fat chicken, and looks like he is planning to have a good drink with Liam Smith.

Liam Smith is no stranger to this. Theodore Smith brings these two items with him almost every once in a while to visit him and talk to him and his grandson.

Hurriedly stepped forward to take Theodore Smith's wine and food in his hands, and the two men entered the small yard with small greetings.

Liam Smith quickly cleaned up the fallen leaves on the stone table in the courtyard, put away the dishes and drinks, took out the large bronze oil lamp he had ordered from the room, and took out two cups instead of wine glasses.

Before Theodore Smith could speak, Liam Smith unsealed the wine jar and poured a full glass for each of them.

Liam Smith picked up the glass and passed it forward, like a decent tunnel: "This cup of grandchildren to grandpa, do it first for respect, grandpa at will." Say a neck, a glass of wine immediately bottom.

Theodore Smith gave Liam Smith a doting pat on the head and laughed, "You've got a knack for drinking."

"Grandpa taught me that." Liam Smith shows his childlike side, and perhaps only in the presence of Theodore Smith, he has been so unrestrained.

"Grandchildren are dry, I am a grandfather, do not do it?" Theodore Smith put his head back down with a glass of wine.

Putting down his glass, Theodore Smith's face turned a little serious, a little sad: "I know today's trial."

Liam Smith's smile is also one of the condensation, he naturally understood what Theodore Smith was saying, lowered his head and a little choked up: "Sorry grandpa, grandchildren are useless, or failed to break through."

Liam Smith, however, understands Theodore Smith's feelings at this moment. To talk about Theodore Smith's life experience, Liam Smith feels that three days and three nights are not enough.

Lost his wife in early life, lost his son in middle age, and suddenly had a talented grandson in his later years, but he didn't think of "dying on the way". Through the ups and downs of life, Liam Smith can clearly see the more deep wrinkles on his grandfather's face, and his eyes are becoming more and more haggard.

Liam Smith sometimes fears that his grandfather will not be able to keep up, so his grandfather has also been the driving force behind his five years of Cultivate.

Theodore Smith gave a wry smile, pretending to be angry: "You silly boy, where do you need to apologize to grandpa?" You will always be the best in Grandpa's heart."

"But I..." Liam Smith suddenly became choked up and couldn't get the rest of his words out.

Theodore Smith frowned, suppressing the sadness in his heart, and said, "Grandpa came not to blame you, but to believe that you are the best, maybe next time you can break through."

Liam Smith has heard Theodore say these words to him every time for the past five years, but every time he hears them, Liam Smith is moved.

Nodding heavily, Liam Smith raised his head firmly with his eyes, suppressing the tears that were already rolling in his eyes, and said heavily: "Rest assured grandpa, the grandchild will not let you down."

"Grandpa believes in you." Theodore Smith smiled so kindly after a glass of wine.

After three drinks and five meals, Theodore Smith stared at Liam Smith with confused eyes and suddenly smiled, "How time flies. In the blink of an eye, you are already fourteen years old. You look just like your father.

"My father?" Liam Smith's hidden feelings have been pulled deeply. If only his parents were still alive now, how happy would he be?

A few years ago Theodore Smith would never have mentioned his father to Liam Smith. For fear of causing pain in Liam Smith's heart, Theodore Smith himself did not want to rub salt in the wound.

However, Liam Smith's mental toughness is completely beyond his imagination, and for the last two years, he has hidden everything about his father from Theodore Smith.

After this, Liam Smith's father was no longer a past story that Theodore Smith was afraid to tell Liam Smith, but a memory that the two of them used to talk about in their leisure time.

Although it will still stir up the pain in the heart, the sharing of two people will minimize the damage.

With a deep sigh, Theodore Smith suddenly asked, "Liam Smith, do you blame Grandpa?"

Liam Smith shook his head. "He never blamed him. Why would he ask?"

"More than ten years ago, Grandpa did not give your father enough care and let him..." Theodore Smith did not go on, but Liam Smith knew what he was talking about. Then Theodore Smith turned to Liam Smith, somewhat apologetically: "For more than ten years, Grandpa did not take care of you, I am a bad father, is a bad grandfather ah."

After saying that, he took the glass and drank it down, smashing the glass heavily on the stone table, and instantly became a pile of fragments.

When Liam Smith saw Theodore Smith's remorse, he felt very distressed and quickly said, "No, you are the best grandpa in the eyes of his grandchildren. I think Dad would think you are the best father in the world if he had a spirit."

"But what you've suffered all these years..."

"These grandchildren understand that all the things grandpa did to his grandchildren are also in his heart, and if you want to say that the grandchildren are guilty of grandpa." Liam Smith fell on his knees in front of Theodore Smith.

"What are you doing?" Theodore Smith quickly went to help Liam Smith, but Liam Smith was obviously unwilling to stand up.

Only to hear him continue: "In fact, grandpa does not say grandchildren also know that in these years, grandpa is running around for grandchildren, seeking medical treatment, taking the trouble, and even more grandchildren at the expense of the Elder, otherwise grandchildren would have been blown out of the Smith family."

"Who told you all this?" Theodore Smith did not know where Liam Smith had learned all this, but he knew that he had never said a word to Liam Smith.

"No one told the grandchild. It was just his own guess."

Theodore Smith obviously does not believe that Liam Smith can guess everything just by guessing. As the Third Elder of the Smith family, Theodore Smith has a good mind in addition to his Cultivation.

A quick turn of the brain gives a rough idea of what's going on, probably because Liam Smith's peers in his clan laughed at him.

"It's those little bastards again. Looks like it's time to teach them a lesson." Theodore Smith had a cold look in his eyes. "I heard Nathaniel Smith bullied you again today?"

"No, they're just telling the truth." Liam Smith is being cool.

"They bullied you so much, and you defended them?" Theodore Smith shook his head somewhat helplessly and said, "You are just like your father. You are too soft-hearted."

Liam Smith didn't object, but there was a sneer in his heart: A year from now I'm going to pay them back ten times what they gave me.

"Get up." Theodore Smith could not bear Liam Smith's continuing kneeling, so he spoke up.

"So Grandpa can't blame himself anymore?" Liam Smith asked, looking up.

"No." Theodore Smith gives Liam Smith a dirty look, but his heart is warm.

Liam Smith sat up on his own wheels and poured Theodore Smith another glass of wine. "Yes," he said with a laugh. "Grandchild did what Grandpa ordered."

"Hey, kid." Theodore Smith's sad feelings were lifted when Liam Smith fucked him.

"By the way, did Grandpa see anything new this time? Let's hear it." Liam Smith asked with a laugh.

"Every time you come back from a trip, you always want me to tell you about the new things I met outside, but where in the world are there so many new things for me to touch?" One day you'll go out and practice it yourself." Theodore Smith looked impatient.

"You just don't want to talk and don't have to be angry, come and come, let the grandchildren accompany you to drink a few cups."

"Why do you look happy today?" Theodore Smith felt that Liam Smith was acting strangely today.

"My grandson was really happy today." Liam Smith didn't expect Theodore Smith to hit the right note when he said it.

Theodore Smith naturally thought that Liam Smith was having fun in the midst of pain, but he wanted to use alcohol to numb himself and not let himself worry, so he followed Liam Smith's advice.

...

This drink was already midnight, a fat chicken only left a table of bones, a large pot of wine also ran out.

Liam Smith is lying red-faced and talking in his sleep on a stone table, seemingly out of his mind.

Theodore Smith, whose face was red and eyes were beginning to be a little confused, looked up to drink the last drop of wine in the glass, pushed Liam Smith, and found that he had fallen asleep.

Suddenly, Theodore Smith shuddered, his eyes suddenly opened, his whole body was clear, the previous drunkenness had all dissipated.

He looked at Liam Smith with a grim face and a look of regret in his eyes.

Whispered to himself, "Liam Smith, there's one more year, and no matter how it ends in a year, Grandpa wouldn't kill himself to let them kick you out of the Smith family."

Feeling the cool breeze from the yard, Theodore Smith went inside, took out the quilt and gently put it on Liam Smith, then turned and walked slowly away.

The slanting light of the moon stretched his shadow long, long.

Just after his figure disappeared in the courtyard, Liam Smith, who had been drunk and asleep, actually sat up straight, where there was a half drunk appearance. The whole person was very sober.

Touching the bedding on his body, looking at the direction of Theodore Smith's figure disappearing, Liam Smith's eyes already have tears in the rotation, but also with a trace of imperceptible fine awning, some choked up and said to himself: "Grandpa, one year later today, grandchildren will make you proud."
