Although it was true that Alen really didn't care about anyone's opinions neither their view of him, but still despite all that he was very grateful for the things that grandpa li has done for him.
Despite him the one who attacked old man at first glance like a savage beast, the other one treated him with mercy, and even cured him of his illness.
Even when Alen was rude with the other party he was treated like a prince with no worldly care, whatsoever.
Remembering his past moments with grandpa li Alen was become quite enraged on himself as well as Guilt also filled his heart, he have always treated Grandpa li like a stranger even after several years from the time he was saved by him.
Due to otherworldly care toward him, Alen was very curious about, why he, a Savage human who doesn't even care about the life of the other party in the slightest, was being given such high level of accommodation.
Later on, by some Accident he found out, about the tragic past of Grandpa li, Grandpa li was an adventurer, just like himself he also belong to the cat family he was called as 'Sleeping Lion within Cat disguise' by his fellow peers because of various inhuman task he performed in his prime.
He was one of the strongest adventurer in the adventure Guild an emerging hero , a blessing For the mutants as well as an approaching threat towards the Beasts.
Talented individuals have always been envied by the inferior one's ,and Granpa li was no exception as well.
Due to his Godly talents, his Growth was simply monstrous, In only one years as an adventurer, he was able to increase his rank from bronze rank adventure to Gold rank, suppressing all others.
This was also the time, when he encounter an otherworldly beauty an fall in love with him, there felling were mutual, So, they get married to each other after three months.
Grandpa li was very pleased with his life after he get married he became cautious about his life and didn't take any life threating risk easily, he also decided to became an elder of the adventure guild and lived his remaining life happily with his wife.
To his luck he was also presented by an golden opportunity at that time, An S level task was issued by the adventure Guild at that time with the reward to have a chance of becoming an elder of the adventure Guild upon completion of the task.
But he unknown toward the trap that has been generated from him, by the adventure guild.
The task was to conquer an B rank dungeon by a party of two adventure with an time period of one month.
To the past Grandpa li, of that time conquering an B rank dungeon wasn't that hard, he was very ecstatic with the opportunity and decided to take the chance bestowed upon him by the heavens.
After some bickering with his wife he was able to convinced her to form an party with him to conquer the dungeon, And so they arrived at the dungeon, and to none surprise in just a span of two week they were able to conquer the dungeon reaching the final boss.
Grandpa li who was very confident in his ability more and more, didn't paid any heed to even form an plan, or any tactics to kill the boss, he just entered the boss chamber with overconfidence.
But his overconfidence faded into thin air, as the one who greeted them was an level 100 boss, An level 100 boss in B Rank dungeon is something unheard of , An 100 level boss is on par with Diamond level adventurer.
Even In A rank dungeon, there was Zero to none possibility of spawning An 100 level Boss, Not to mention An B rank dungeon.
Their battle continued For two days before conclusion, Grandpa li was utterly defeated, with several life threating wound on his body, and his wife in half death state.
He was hopeless and quite angry with himself, it was his mistake to begin with if not for his pity strength overconfidence , he and his wife wouldn't be in that state to begin with, his death was just in front of him, and he was helpless to even lift a finger.
Hopeless and devoid of any life he just prayed to ask forgiveness from his wife, but it was that moments that his wife as gold level adventure just like himself, used an forbidden spell to defeat the boss and killing herself with him.
Alen still clearly remember the sorrowful and guilty expression of grandpa li, The face of an hopeless old man who despite being all high and mighty wasn't able to protect his loved one.
But he also Understood, that the thing wasn't some pure accident it was an well crafted plan from the very start, But that can't be said for the old man itself.
When Grandpa li meet alen, he have already quitted being an adventurer for years , it was just by an accident that he came across Him.
According to what he have heard from Grandpa li, At first, Grandpa li also treated him an emerging threat, Alen bloodlust alone was enough to consider him an monster as well as the killing intent which could even make Gold rank adventurer tremble before him, despite knowing all that he wasn't able to kill him.
Grandpa li of that time, wasn't a kind hearted person neither a merciless killer without emotion, he was just an hopeless old man who was just passing his remaining time without any worldly desire, A hollow person from inside, devoid of everything.
But it was also that moment, that an emotion to protect the unknown youth before him emerges from inside, after seeing Alen face for the very first time.
Alen face was just as pure as an jade crystal without any impurities, Although there were many wounds and marks on his face, his face was still brimming with an Aura of childish innocence.
At that time he seemed to discovers himself in the unknown youth before him , The helpless ness as well the horrifying past Alen went though isn't something he can fathom at that time, But he can vaguely relate his past tragedies , That's to say he treated Alen like his own son, whom he longed for years, but couldn't have one.
Meanwhile, Grandpa li on the other hand was quite bewildered by Alen's sudden course of action, he hastily approached Alen and supported him.
"What are you doing, you shouldn't lower your head in front of anyone, as a future God to be it will only tarnish your reputation " said grandpa li in an harsh and angry voice.
In his eyes, alen has always been an peerless warrior , he loves him as much as he loves his late wife, So he doesn't like Alen to lower his head in front of him, not even himself.
If the crowd were to the scene the current scene they will All become frozen completely, As an existence Akin to The Gods itself showing respect to an normal human(mutant) isn't something you see everyday.
Hearing Grandpa li angry voice, Alen hurriedly stood up, His beautiful face, is brimming with unshaken confidence, while his eyes seemed to turn somewhat misty, Due to the overflowing past memories, With Grandpa li as well as the the thought of never seeing him again.
Seeing Alen with his sadden expression, grandpa li sighed he patted his shoulder to cheer him up.
Don't be fool, by these worldly desire, Alen , This old man have already neared his end—" said grandpa li with some regretful voice.
Grandpa what are you sayin- said Alen shocked by the sudden revelation of bad news, According to him Grandpa li should still be able to live one or more century even if he not achieve an breakthrough.
But this doesn't seems to the case now, Alen was shell shocked after hearing Grandpa li and couldn't think the reason why would he say so.
Grandpa li continued " I am sorry, for keeping it a secret till now, But I don't want to distract you and became a hindrance to you" he said with a smile.
Well, it's okay I don't really have anything more to do in the world anymore, and also your Grandma is also waiting for me " he said with an heartily smile.
But why, why , how could it be according to your cultivation you shouldn't be having any problem even if you were to live two centuries before breakthrough then why? " said Alen with anxiousness, his misty become more clear while tears started to flow from them.
"You Don't have to worry about me, it is also for my own Good, except for you I don't have anyone dear to me in this world, as you will ascend you will also leaves this world, so there isn't any purpose for me to live anymore, To tell you the truth I also doesn't want to leave the world not before I could see you ascend, because of that I have already consumed all of my life prolonging medicine to keep me in this state to this time."
Said grandpa li with anxiousness, he drifted his hand in the air after which an Green jade bottle soon appeared in his hand, " This one is the last remaining bottle of medicine to keep me alive, Although I do have some regret, like to not knowing about your past and your origin even now, but it can't be helped anymore because I am afraid I don't have enough time to listen to your story." Said Grandpa li will regretful voice.
