However, even if that was what Xu Zhinian thought, he still did not keep his hopes up.
He had been disheartened after so many years. Since his hopes would always be dashed, he might as well not be hopeful at all. At least he wouldn't be disappointed, right?
Xu Zhinian knew that he was being pessimistic, but what could he do?
"Alchemist Lu." Xu Zhinian greeted Lu Zijia calmly.
Alchemist Xu knew that his grandson had already given up hope, so his heart ached even more. Even though he was sure about Lu Zijia's alchemy ability, he wasn't sure if she could really cure his grandson, so he didn't say anything encouraging. He knew very well that the more hopeful they were, the greater the disappointment would be if she failed. This was undoubtedly the cruelest thing for his grandson.
"Alchemist Lu, my grandson is usually a little indifferent. Please don't take it to heart." Alchemist Xu explained on behalf of his grandson.
