The seniors once said that the Black and White Impermanence would take a person's soul to the Underworld for trial and reincarnate.

Lin Xiao had never believed in words like this. People only had this life, and his previous life was an excuse to escape. But now, he wished that this was true because he could not accept that his parents had truly disappeared from this world, this universe.

If there really is an afterlife, parents, you must let me find you …

It had rained, and even the heavens seemed to be able to feel Lin Xiao's sadness. The three of them returned home. The noisy yard was now completely silent. There was no longer the bellow of the water buffalo or the chirping of chickens and ducks. The old man did not have the ability to raise them; he was giving them all away.

Lin Xiao cleaned up the courtyard before returning to the tiled building that had a few holes in it and began to clean it. Lin Xuan accompanied the old man as they sat under the eaves and watched the raindrops fall.

The old man's spirit had greatly improved. Occasionally, he would look towards the cute and well-behaved Lin Xuan, revealing a faint smile that he hadn't seen for a long time.

The room was full of junk. After his parents left, his grandfather didn't have the ability to move the junk, so he just let it go.

Lin Xiao moved all the unused items into the courtyard and saw a few pieces of paper lying on the already empty ground. He picked it up and started flipping through it. The paper was already yellowed and blurry, and there were many different eyes drawn on it. All of them were different; some were big, some were small. At first glance, it looked very strange.

He turned to the second page and saw that it was also full of eyes. However, the eyes on this page were all of the same size. The only difference was the pupils, the patterns, the colors, and even the white eyes.

Lin Xiao flipped through a few pages in a row, but none of them attracted much attention. When he came to the last page, there were only two eyes on it.

One eye had only its eye sockets, which were painted red. There was no eyeball, and no trace of blood. The second eye was erected. Other than the purple pupil with the shape of a flame, the rest of the eye was black, black in color!

His mother could not read a single word, let alone paint. Then only his father, his father, had read books and had a certain level of skill in painting, but what was his father doing with all these strange eyes? Did he want to hone his painting skills? He thought of a famous person who had painted eggs to hone his skills.

Voices could be heard in the courtyard. Lin Xiao put the papers into his ring and walked out to check them out. Many villagers heard that Lin Xiao had returned, so they came to visit her grandfather.

Lin Xiao suddenly realized that there was a middle-aged man who had been staring at him the entire time. He raised his head to look at that person, but quickly retracted his gaze.

When night fell, the crowd began to leave. Lin Xiao made dinner and the old man went to rest. Lin Xiao took out the paper again under the dim light.

Lin Xiao's attention was completely focused on the last piece of paper, and those two strange eyes made him keep staring at it.

At this moment, Lin Xuan exclaimed in surprise as she had actually seen these eyes before.

"Where did you see it? Which one?" Lin Xiao felt this was too inconceivable. She had actually seen her father's painting of eyes before.

"In the dream, it was that eye that stood up. It was so big, even bigger than me. I can't move while standing in front of it." Lin Xuan exaggeratedly gestured with her hands, making Lin Xiao happy. However, he quickly began to wonder, why would Lin Xuan dream of these eyes, could it be just a coincidence?

Within Lin Xiao's body, there were two little ghosts that were also whispering amongst themselves. They had seen another kind of eye on the last piece of paper, and it was something they had personally experienced.

When Lin Xiao had gone berserk in the Nether God Battlefield, his eyes were just like this. He had no pupils, and his eyes were completely bloodshot. At that time, he was like a wild beast, devoid of humanity.

Unable to understand what was going on, Lin Xiao scratched his head and decided not to pursue the matter any further. He stored the blueprints away and brought Lin Xuan to rest.

The next day, when Lin Xiao got up, she found that the old man had already sat down in the courtyard. It was unknown as to what he was thinking.

Seeing this, Lin Xiao sat down beside the old man and asked, "Grandfather, does my family's family heirloom have any secrets?" He took out the small wooden tag tied around his neck. At this moment, a red dot had somehow appeared on the wooden tag. He remembered that it was not there before.

Unexpectedly, when the old man saw this wooden tablet, his expression actually changed. From yesterday until now, the old man's face finally had some other expression.

"Did you meet someone special?" The old man stared at the wooden tablet. He turned the wooden tablet over in his hands and said, "The green wooden tablet is now black, you must have met them."

Seeing this, Lin Xiao hurriedly asked who his grandfather was talking about. The old man looked at Lin Xiao and his mood fluctuated. He then looked at the wooden signboard and sighed. He then muttered in a strange tone, "How did I meet them?"

Seeing the old man not answering him, Lin Xiao became even more anxious. She hurriedly asked, "Grandfather, just tell me, who are they and why did the wooden tablet turn black?"

The old man's eyes were closed as if deciding on something. In the end, he opened his eyes and said to Lin Xiao, "If I told you that there are monsters in this world, would you believe me?"

Lin Xiao was stunned and subconsciously nodded his head. Of course he believed that he knew demons. The little girl sleeping soundly in the room was a demon.

Lin Xiao's reaction made the old man sigh again. "As expected, it's all fate. You've already seen demons. This wooden tablet is the best proof."

The old man raised the wooden tablet above his head, the sunlight shining onto the wooden tablet. Lin Xiao stared at the wooden tablet for a long time and suddenly discovered that the wooden tablet was gradually becoming translucent, and there were two bloody characters written on the wooden tablet!

Suppressing the Demons!

Lin Xiao swallowed his saliva. Why was there the word 'Demon Suppression' in the family heirloom? Was his ancestor related to demons? Furthermore, his grandfather actually knew of demons!

"If this wooden tablet stays by a demon's side for a long period of time, the blood from the wooden tablet will seep out and stain the green wooden tablet black." The old man put down the wooden tablet and silently looked at Lin Xiao for a long time.

"What level have you reached when you came into contact with demons?" The old man asked again after a long time.

Lin Xiao was silent for a moment. He did not want to lie to his grandfather, and there was nothing he could lie to him about.

"Whoosh!"

A ball of flame emerged from Lin Xiao's palm. The fire illuminated the wrinkled old man's face. The old man was not surprised, he only said that these were his life.

"Grandpa …"

"Doggie, I will tell you about the Lin Family's history, but if you know about this, then you will have to shoulder the responsibility. I hope you will consider this carefully, knowing too much is not a good thing." Lin Xiao could also tell from the old man's words that the Lin Family was not ordinary, and it was very likely that they were a fallen cultivator family, because how could ordinary people know about demons, and the Lin Family's heirloom actually contained the word 'Demon Suppression'. Was this telling the descendants of the Lin Family that they had suppressed the fiendish demons before?

"Grandfather, I've thought about it. I want to understand."
