Yun Shuo did not dodge, instead meeting his grandfather's gaze head-on. "Rumors are not necessarily true. During my first few years at the Taqing Sect, her parents took care of me. It is only natural that I look after Junior Sister now. I may be ruthless, but I am not ungrateful."
The head of the Yun family stared at Yun Shuo for a long time, seeing his own reflection in Yun Shuo's eyes. Noticing nothing amiss in Yun Shuo's words and actions, which were as usual, he believed what Yun Shuo said to some extent.
Yun Shuo lowered his eyes quietly. After a long silence, he spoke again, "Asking Eldest Brother to help deal with the imperial family was because they repeatedly pestered me and even laid hands on my fellow apprentices. I couldn't bear it any longer, which is why I asked Eldest Brother to intervene. Three parts of the rumors Grandfather heard are true, and seven parts are false. Perhaps someone intentionally planted them in Grandfather's ears."
