Alicia walked past the Chung family's enormous courtyard, then went through a bamboo forest. After about 15 minutes, she finally arrived at a restricted wooden house.
A middle-aged man in his fifties was guarding the wooden house's entrance. He seemed surprised to see her.
"Miss Alicia! Why are you here?"
She nodded to the man and said, "Hugh, is Grandpa free to talk? I have something to tell him."
"Miss Alicia, Old Master is meditating and cultivating. I'm afraid it will take another hour before he completes this round of cultivation," he replied.
"An hour! I..." She grew anxious.
Upon seeing her response, he asked, "Miss Alicia, is there something urgent?"
"It's not something urgent, but..." She hesitated and finally said, "Hugh, I will wait for Grandpa to finish his cultivation!"
"Sure! Miss Alicia, sit here, please!" Hugh brought over a bamboo chair and handed it to her.
Alicia sat down and waited, anxious and furious.
An hour's wait was truly a torture for her.
Finally, when she almost ran out of patience, a gust of energy wafted out of the house.
She and Hugh stood up together in an instant and turned to look at the wooden house.
"Old Master has finished his cultivation!" Hugh exclaimed.
She rushed towards the wooden house impatiently. "Grandpa, I'm Alicia. I have something to tell you. I'm coming in."
She pushed the door open and stepped inside. The wooden house was tiny, and there were not many items inside. Saxen only kept some basic daily necessities in the house.
However, all of the items in the house were exquisite. Alicia could sense the strong spiritual energy in the room. It was definitely the best place for cultivation.
At this moment, a slender elder with white hair sat cross-legged on a floor futon in the middle of the room. He was Saxen, the head of the Chung family.
"Alicia, why are you here?" Saxen looked at her with a pleasantly surprised expression on his face.
She rushed over and said in a hurry, "Grandpa, I have something to tell you. It's urgent."
"What is it? What made you so anxious?" Saxen gently smiled and asked.
She immediately told him what had happened, "Grandpa, here is the thing..."
Saxen's face darkened, and he fell into deep thought.
Noticing his response, she said anxiously, "Grandpa, Fade is truly powerful. There is definitely no harm in recruiting him into our family. In fact, it will benefit us."
"But now, after Uncle and Aunt messed up our plans, not only did we fail to recruit Fade, but we also left a bad impression on him."
Saxen glanced at the anxious Alicia and said, "If Fade is truly an excellent man like you described, it would be good to recruit him into our family."
"Grandpa, it's definitely true. Now, you're the only one who can persuade Fade to come back. We'll..." She eagerly tugged at his arm, urging him to make a move.
However, he did not intend to get up. Instead, he changed the topic and said, "However, your Uncle's consideration is reasonable."
"Fade killed Jerzy and offended the Yuwen family. If our family accepts him, it means that we will become enemies with the Yuwen family."
"But Grandpa..." She was about to explain.
