Chapter 875 “The Mainland’s Change (4)”
Qiu Shu Rong’s was stiff as a rock as he showed a bittersweet face. “I know a dragon cannot be stopped from taking flight, that truth isn’t unknown to me Lord. But how do you expect me to just accept it as is? I only have this one precious disciple. Would you be able to bear watching her struggle so desperately?” Two lines of murky tear slowly trickles down that old senior’s cheek, indicating how sorrowful and sad he really felt.
Patting his younger brother’s shoulder, Ren Yi could easily relate to the third elder’s emotion right now. But this was their student’s choice and not for them to decide.
“Granshifus.” From out of the blue, a soft tender voice drifts over from the front.
Looking up, Zheng Qi and his two brothers could see it was the boy returning to them from the front.
“Grandshifus, Mother is afraid you won’t let her leave so she sent me over instead. She wants me to pass on these alchemic recipes to you three for practice while she’s not around.” Rummaging through his storage bag, the little steambun casually hands over a trove of treasure to these seniors.
“And, Mother said all three grandshifus will always be her shifu regardless of where she runs off to. She will always cherish the time she spent here.” After saying that, the boy did the most sensible thing and respectively gave them each a hug. Done with that, he also made sure to leave another message to the third elder: “Third Granshifu, Mother said she knows you care about her alot, but don’t worry, I will be with her. If Mother does anything risky and I don’t approve then I will smack her bottom for you, okay?”
Sighing at the sensible words coming out of this little kid’s mouth, Qiu Shu Rong just couldn’t help but rub that head in resignation. “You child…. Oh forget it, tell your mother I won’t force her to stay. But if I ever learn of her risking her life again like this time then she can forget about leaving the Holy Land. I will lock her up if I have to!”
“Don’t worry Third Grandshifu, I will supervise Mother in your stead.” Nodding in agreement, Bai Xiachen was all in on this idea. He too has been scared out of his wits so anything like the Holy Domain venture was out of the question from now on.
Laughing at the child’s poor attempt at being a adult, the third elder definitely felt a bit better now. Wiping some of those tears away: “Okay, your grandshifu here will believe in you. If your mother is not being good then you must come back and tell us.”
“I got it!” Spreading his hands high like an innocent child, it’s hard to doubt the boy’s promise when he’s acting so loveable. “Everyone, I will miss all of you.” Making a goodbye gesture, he then trotted back for the outer perimeter where the two ladies should be waiting still.
Moment later, the tiny figure too was out of sight from this group.
“Yan Yan’s fortune isn’t bad at all. She’s blessed with such a good and sensible son.” Lord Chu Ran makes a long sigh despite the smile on his face. “I wonder when I will be able to hold a grandson of my own? But with Yi Feng’s personality, I doubt his children will be as lively and lovely as Xiachen.”
As for Yi Yi…..
Just getting the thought of how his own daughter would make the lord squirm. He still hasn’t forgotten the time where the kid and troublesome lass went and lit the treasury vault ablaze. They really lost some nice stuff during that incident.
Oh forget that thought. Leaving my hope on Yi Yi is out of the question. If she starts having children then wouldn’t she start making trouble with those kids too?
In any case, its best not to marry off the girl so soon. Yes, that’s the plan…..
Thankfully the princess herself didn’t know what her old pa was thinking, otherwise she might just start crying.
