<h4>Chapter 1061: Chapter 1068: Su Mei’s Sorrow</h4>


    Entering the room where Su Mei was, there was a tray outside with a few delicate dishes. However, they had already grown cold with time. This woman... Ling Chen felt a bit helpless, having heard from Han Qi that Su Mei hadn’t eaten or drunk anything for days. Even if she weren’t a woman, even a person made of iron couldn’t endure.


    Raising his hand, Ling Chen lightly knocked on the door, but after a few minutes, there was no response from inside.


    "Miss Su, it’s me, Ling Chen. Can Ie in?" Ling Chen had no choice but to identify himself. After a moment, there was a ’click’ and the lock on the door was opened from inside. Shortly after, Su Mei appeared before Ling Chen, her eyes red and swollen. Seeing her pale little face, Ling Chen couldn’t help but ask with concern, "Are you alright?"


    Su Mei said nothing, merely shifted her body to let Ling Chen into the room.


    Inside the room, Ling Chen nced around, seeing a mess with many things shattered on the floor. Additionally, there was a patch of undried water on the ground which Ling Chen deduced to be Su Mei’s tears. Sigh! Seeing this scene, Ling Chen let out a soft sigh. He truly understood Su Mei’s feelings; anyone would struggle to bear the blow of losing both parents.


    "Miss Su." Upon hearing the door close behind him, Ling Chen turned to look at Su Mei about to speak, but then Su Mei’s feet suddenly gave way, and she copsed.


    Reacting swiftly, Ling Chen dashed forward to support Su Mei by the waist, preventing her from falling to the ground.


    Having not eaten for several days, this woman was probably close to fainting from hunger, with no strength left. Ignoring Su Mei’s resistance... of course, Su Mei didn’t have strength to resist now, only managing a token struggle. Ling Chen carried Su Mei to the bed, quickly exited the room, called in a few members of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, and gave some instructions. Soon after, a young man responsible for logistics brought a bowl of pork and preserved egg porridge to Ling Chen.


    Su Mei hadn’t eaten for days and couldn’t eat too much or too greasy food, so porridge was the most suitable choice.


    Helping Su Mei up carefully, Ling Chen rested her head against his strong chest, then took a spoon, gently blew on it, and when the porridge had cooled, he brought it to Su Mei’s lips.


    Smelling the fragrant scent of the porridge, Su Mei lightly bit her lips, showing no intention of opening her mouth.


    "Miss Su, your body is too weak. If you don’t eat something soon, you will copse sooner orter," Ling Chen advised, "I know your parents’ situation has hit you hard, but don’t forget you are the Pavilion Master of the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, it needs you to oversee it. If you fall, what will happen to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion? The pavilion is the legacy of your Su Family. Would you really be able to bear seeing it fall apart under your watch? If that happens, your parents surely won’t rest in peace. Miss Su, listen to me, whether for the pavilion, your parents, or yourself, you must pull yourself together. Staying locked in the room grieving like this—what good does it do? Can you find the murderers who killed your parents? Can you avenge them?"


    Ling Chen’s words lit a faint spark of light in Su Mei’s dim eyes. Whether moved by Ling Chen’s words or not, Su Mei opened her mouth and swallowed a spoonful of the pork and preserved egg porridge.


    Seeing Su Mei finally willing to eat, Ling Chen was undoubtedly the happiest. Soon, Su Mei had finished the entire bowl of porridge.


    "How do you feel now? Morefortable?" Ling Chen asked with a smile.


    Su Mei gently nodded. Having eaten, her pale face gradually regained a bit of redness, and her spirits improved significantly. She looked back at Ling Chen, asking, "Why did youe?"


    "Nothing much to do recently, so I thought I’de to the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion to have a look. Who knew I’d encounter such a situation as soon as I arrived." At this point, Ling Chen spoke softly, "Miss Su, I wish you peace and condolence. If there’s anything you need, please feel free to ask, and I’ll do my best to help."


    "Can you help me find my grandfather?" Su Mei pleaded, "With what’s happened to Mom and Dad, I really don’t know what to do now. There’s not a single person around that I can rely on. Ling Chen, you have no idea how awful it feels, like the whole world is left with only me, all alone."


    "Miss Su, don’t worry, I understand how you feel. Besides, Mr. Du already talked to me; I will quickly go find Elder Su and inform him of what has happened at the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion."


    "Thank you!" Su Mei expressed gratefully.


    "You call me a friend, and I have connections with the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion, so there’s no need for formality with me. By the way, Elder Tong came to pay their respects to your parents, chatting with Mr. Du downstairs. Would you like to say hello?"


    Su Mei nodded. After all, she was the Pavilion Master and Tong Zhentian held an esteemed status,parable to her grandfather, a master in the Martial Arts world with a high lineage. As a junior, it would be impolite not to appear.


    With Ling Chen’s assistance, Su Mei got out of bed, moved a bit, and once her strength had returned enough for her to walk on her own, she guided Ling Chen to the reception room.


    Arriving at the reception room, pleasantries were exchanged as could be expected. After some polite conversation, Tong Zhentian directed the conversation towards Ling Chen.


    "Ling, I just discussed with Mr. Du, bringing Su He back must be handled quickly. You are his disciple; only you know where he resides, so I hope you can take the time to bring Su He back to prevent any further issues."


    "I understand. Elder Tong, Elder Du, I just mentioned to Miss Su that I would set off tomorrow morning to invite Elder Su."


    "Good, then I’ll leave this matter to you."


    One night passed.


    The next morning, Ling Chen left the Heavenly Mechanism Pavilion early, setting out alone for Jin Hai City. Fortunately, there was a flight directly to Jin Hai City, saving a lot of time. By around eleven in the afternoon, Ling Chen finally drove to his destination.


    Following the coastline along the beach, Ling Chen walked familiarly. Before long, a hut appeared in his sight. A fishing boat was docked on the shore by the hut, indicating that Su He hadn’t sailed out to fish yet.


    Arriving at the hut, Ling Chen knocked on the door, calling out, "Elder Su, it’s me."


    "Come in." Soon, Su He’s aged voice replied from inside.


    Opening the door, Ling Chen saw Su He sitting by the window of the hut, enjoying the view of the tumultuous waves outside while sipping a small drink. Seeing Ling Chen enter, Su He gestured towards the seat beside him, saying, "Sit down."


    "Thank you, Elder Su."


    "Did your father send you?" Su He asked, seemingly casually.


    Father? Ling Chen hesitated slightly but quickly understood what Su He meant.
