Chapter 1066
James had a sinking feeling that his grandfather, Thomas Caden, was still alive.
However, there was no way he could prove or confirm his suspicions.
Since Thea was close to his grandfather, naturally, the two must have been in contact at some point.
"Thea, please.I need to hear the truth."
James reached out his hand and placed it on Thea’s shoulder.
Thea looked at him and nodded sheepishly, "You're right.Grandpa is still alive.I did contact him before we came here, but only once.I couldn't reach him when I tried to contact him the second time.I really don't have a clue about his current whereabouts."
"Why did grandpa plan the ordeal in Mount Arclens and fake his death? Who is he trying to deceive?"
"Honey, I really don’t know...Grandpa was the one who brought me to Mount Arclens.I don’t know what he was trying to do.He told me after we arrived there that he was looking for the Sacred Fire Fig.While looking for it, we encountered a hundred-year-old fire snake.Grandpa killed it and refined its gallbladder for me to consume.That’s how I gained a third-rank True Energy."
Thea was unsure of Thomas’ plan.
However, Thomas assured her that he would not harm James and was only trying to help him.
That was the only reason she obeyed him, James frowned upon hearing her answer.He fell into thought.
After a while, he took a deep breath and sighed.
Then, he asked, "What’s grandpa’s current cultivation rank?"
Thea shook her head and said meekly, "I don’t know about that.Grandpa never told me, but I can tell he’s powerful from the strength he’s demonstrated in front of me.Plus, he knew the Moonlit Flowers on Cliffside's Edge’s secret all along.Yet, he did not bother using that cultivation method.This meant that he already was strong enough that the painting’s cultivation method wouldn’t change much in him."
James ran his hand through his hair and scratched his head frustratedly.He had trusted his grandfather all this time.
No matter what the world said about him, he was staunch in his beliefs that his grandfather was a good man.
For the first time, doubts about his grandfather loomed over his heart like dark clouds.
"Honey, Sir Caden isn’t a bad person.I trust him," Thea uttered softly.
"Mhm," James replied dismissively.
