In the quiet and secluded mansion, there were only Yale, George, Reno, and a dozen or so maids, plus several dozen guards. These people were mainly here for Lin Lei.

  Under the grape arbor, Yale, George and Reno sat around a stone table.

  "Yale, you tell me, what's wrong with Lao San?" Renuo said helplessly, his face full of confusion.

  Yale shook his head: "I don't know either, Old Three has been here for ten whole days, and in these ten days, Old Three has completely lost the passion of the past, nor does he cultivate or make jokes with us. He is always alone."

  George also nodded and said: "In the past, no matter what happened, Old Three would not stop cultivating. But now he seems to have changed into a completely different person."

  "Who can tell me what's wrong with Lao San?" Renuo asked anxiously, gritting his teeth.

  "If I knew, it would be better." Yale sighed helplessly.

  The three brothers were most worried about was that they had no idea why Lin Lei would become like this, not practicing anymore, and not playing with them either. He always stayed alone, as if he had lost his soul.

  It became like this for no reason at all.

  As Lin Lei's good brothers, why aren't they anxious?

  "Lao San, he must have suffered a huge blow." Yale sighed, George and Reno were also stunned, they couldn't help but recall the scene they saw ten days ago - tens of thousands of people watching, while in the central area of hundreds of meters, there was a piece of ruins, with six shocking deep pits and meteorites.

  Lin Lei, who had fully transformed into a dragon, sat on the ground and wept after brutally killing six purple-robed high-ranking officials. He cried like a child.

  "I've never seen Lao San so heartbroken, so fragile," Yale said in a low voice.

  George also nodded: "Old Three is very strong, it was when he broke up with Alice that Old Three completed the stone carving 'Dream Awakening' and directly entered the Magic Beast Mountain Range to continue his cultivation."

  "Well, it was his father who died, and Lao San also managed to pull through. But this time..." Renuo's heart was full of confusion.

  They were all very sure.

  Their good brother is very fragile at this moment, but they can't find the reason.

  In the quiet backyard of the mansion, Lin Lei sat on a smooth stone by the side of the gurgling brook, staring at the flowing water without moving.

  Baobei also stood on the smooth stone, leaning against Lin Lei's side.

  A moment of silence, with only the sound of flowing water.

  Lin Lei's eyes were on the flowing water, but his mind was recalling scenes of the past with Grandpa De Lin.

  Childhood fun with Grandpa De Lin.

  In his youth, Grandfather Deling was under strict supervision.

  In the mountains of Azeroth, Grandpa De'lin's repeated reminders.

  Every scene recalled, Lin Lei felt a sense of tranquility in his heart.

  "My father passed away, and I thought I was very lonely. But what I didn't know was that I had always been very fortunate. No matter where I went, Grandpa Delin was always behind me, supporting me, comforting me, encouraging me, reminding me..."

  "But why didn't I realize all this in the past? Why didn't I cherish the days spent with Grandpa Deling?" Lin Lei's heart was filled with pain.

  Grandpa Deling never had any excessive demands on himself. But he has never considered Grandpa Deling, and never cherished the time spent with Grandpa Deling. Perhaps in his subconscious mind, he thought that Grandpa Deling would always stay in Panlong's ring.

  "Panlong Ring? Grandpa Deling is always alone in the Panlong Ring, he must be very sad. He probably hopes I can chat with him more often." Lin Lei thought of this now.

  However... in the past, Lin Lei would only ask De Lin Grandfather when he encountered some difficulties, and rarely took the initiative to chat with De Lin Grandfather.

  Only know how to get, don't know how to give.

  "Why is it that only when we lose something do we realize the importance of cherishing it?" Lin Lei's body trembled slightly, he was so eager for Grandpa De Lin to come back again and accompany him once more.

  Unfortunately... it's impossible now.

  Grandpa De Lin is dead, gone forever.

  Lin Lei felt his heart beating violently, as if it were convulsing, and his whole body was wracked with pain. But on Lin Lei's face, there wasn't a hint of painful expression.

  Even Lin Lei had an idea in his heart - if it was so painful to die, then he would be relieved and relaxed.

  "Older brother." Beibei's voice echoed in Lin Lei's mind, Lin Lei turned his head to look at Beibei beside him, Beibei's dark eyes looked at Lin Lei, her eyes filled with worry.

  "Are you thinking of that old man Deling?" Bebe also only found out after Deling Kwovort's death that there was a soul of a Saint Domain Magister beside Linley.

  Lin Lei nodded slightly.

  "Boss, can you tell me about what happened between you and that Deling grandfather?"

  Looking at BeiBei, Lin Lei nodded slightly and then hugged BeiBei in his arms. He began to recall the past, starting with what happened with DeLin Grandfather: "That year, I was only eight years old. At that time, two powerful Saints appeared in our Wushan Town..."

  Yale, George and Reno appeared at the back door of the yard, quietly looking at Lin Lei sitting on a smooth stone in the distance, hugging Beibei.

  "It's hard for me to see Lao San like this." Ren said with a low sigh.

  Yale, George was also silent.

  "We must think of a way." George's eyes suddenly became sharp, "In any case, we can't let Lao San just sink like this."

  Yale and Reno nodded too.

  "George, what's your plan?" Yale and Reno both looked at George expectantly.

  George said, "We don't know why Lao San became like this, but we can infer some things." George pondered, "Lao San's family is a Dragon Blood Warrior family. As a family with a glorious history, they must want to restore their family's honor."

  Yale's eyes lit up and said, "Yes, Lao San attaches great importance to his family. He once slaughtered for the sake of the 'War Knife', the heirloom of his family, and even auctioned off the 'Dream Awakening' stone carving."

  "That's right."

  George nodded, "As I speculate, since the third brother can cultivate so diligently, there must be a reason that motivates him to do so. And restoring family honor is likely to be the reason. The third brother has worked hard for so many years and will not give up easily. We can use this to motivate him."

  "Motivation? Is it useful?" Yale asked skeptically.

  "But is there a better way?" George asked helplessly.

  "Alright, let's go with that." Ren said with a hum, "Lao San always does this, I'm fed up with it. Let's go, the three of us will have a talk with him and see what's going on."

  "Fourth brother, let second brother speak, you go talk will only get worse and worse." Yale scolded.

  Reno also knew his own character and nodded. George, Yale, and Reno looked at each other and walked towards Lin Lei together.

  Babe listened to Lin Lei's words and also fell silent, he was also heartbroken over the death of Dirk Nowitzki. Suddenly, Babe felt someone approaching from behind, so he jumped out of Lin Lei's arms and looked back.

  It was Yale, George and Reno.

  But at this moment, Lin Lei had just finished talking about his story with Grandpa De Lin and was completely immersed in his memories, without feeling anyone's arrival.

  Yale, George and Reno exchanged a glance, all of them secretly sighed. Lin Lei was an expert, if under normal circumstances, the three of Yale would have probably sensed Lin Lei's presence at the back door, but now they had all walked behind him without Lin Lei reacting.

  "Old Three," Yale said.

  Lin Lei's body shook slightly, and then he turned his head to glance at the three of them, his eyes very calm: "You've arrived." As he spoke, Lin Lei turned his head back again, continuing to gaze at the stream.

  Yale, George and Reno immediately walked up to the giant stone.

  "Old Three." Yale suddenly grabbed Lin Lei's shoulders, making Lin Lei's eyes meet his. "Old Three, do you remember what happened at Ernst Magic Academy? What did you usually call me?"

  "I forgot," Lin Lei said calmly.

  Yale's eyes widened: "Forgot? Eldest Third, you often hit me, saying that if I don't work hard and cultivate diligently, the strongest one in the dormitory will become the weakest one."

  In the past four brothers lived in a dormitory and naturally often joked with each other.

  Lin Lei remained silent.

  George glanced at Yale and nodded slightly, whereupon Yale released Lin Lei's shoulders. George then walked to the front of Lin Lei and solemnly asked: "Old Third, I'd like to ask you, after all those years of hard work and cultivation, what was it for?"

  Lin Lei was taken aback.

  Memories of his hard training every day from childhood to adulthood involuntarily flashed back in his mind.

  "For family." Lin Lei finally replied.

  Yale and Reno beside him had a hint of joy in their eyes, George immediately took the opportunity to counterattack: "Then I ask you, are you worthy of your family now?"

  Lin Lei looked at George and sighed, "My father is dead, my mother is dead. What's the point of me working hard for the family?"

  Lin Lei stood up and walked towards the gate of the courtyard.

  Yale, George and Reno looked at Lin Lei's back, staring at each other in a daze.

  "It's all useless now, they're all dead. What was the point of me working so hard?" Lin Lei's desolate voice came through, and then Lin Lei's back disappeared at the gate of the courtyard.

  Fifteen days.

  Lin Lei had been stuck in this mansion for a full fifteen days, and during these fifteen days, the three from Yale tried every means possible, but no matter what they did, Lin Lei remained the same.

  Yale, George and Reno were drinking together.

  "What to do, what should I do? Can't just watch Lao San fall like this?" Reno slammed his wine glass heavily on the table in anger.

  Yale and George also shook their heads.

  These past few days, they had thought of every possible solution. They asked Lin Lei why he became like this, but Lin Lei just remained silent and didn't utter a word.

  What else can they do?

  "Look at Lao San, with a silent expression, I'm really worried and heartbroken. This old three, sigh...” Yale suddenly grabbed the wine bottle and poured it directly into his mouth, drinking half a bottle in one gulp.

  They grew up with Lin Lei, and their feelings for each other were stronger than those of brothers. How could they watch Lin Lei like this without being moved?

  Lin Lei sat on the chair beside his room, looking at the Panlong Ring in his hand. Lin Lei clearly remembered the scene of Grandpa De Lin coming out of the Panlong Ring time and time again.

  Such scenes will never appear again.

  Ling Lei had a space ring on the index finger of his other hand. After Clyde's death, this space ring was ownerless. During the fight with the six top-grade executives, Ling Lei's blood had already dyed the space ring red. The blood naturally recognized its new master.

  But... in the past fifteen days, Lin Lei hasn't even glanced at this space ring. His mind has been completely preoccupied with scenes of him and Grandpa Delin together - Grandpa Delin stroking his beard, Grandpa Delin's stern teaching expression... all sorts of scenes that he remembers clearly.

  "Why, why did even the last Derrida die?"

  Having lost Grandpa De Lin, Lin Lei felt as if he had lost his strongest support. At this moment, he was more fragile and lonely than ever before. Lin Lei tightly hugged Bao Bei, sitting alone in the quiet room...
