Chapter 1765 “Bai Yan’s Here (4)”
“You just said… Grandpapa?”
“Yes, Grandpapa is so good looking, Ling Yan likes him very much.” The pipsqueak carefully leans her head closer so that her voice doesn’t get picked up by the others, “But I didn’t tell anyone about our family Mother, I don’t know if Grandpapa is Father’s enemy or not. Am I not very clever?” The little pipsqueak’s eye radiated the playfulness of a child that seems to have pulled off a prank successfully.
There’s nothing wrong with her liking Heavenly, but for her, it’s more important to keep her parents safe. She won’t give anyone the chance to hurt them.
“Ling Yan is so good.” Bai Yan proudly rubs her little head: “But now I am here to pick you up. Go gather your things Sweetie, we will say farewell and go home.”
Ling Yan nodded: “Okay Mother, I will go see Grandpapa now.”
Mother said children need to be polite and well mannered. Grandpapa took me in, I need to properly say farewell.
Just as the pipsqueak was about to turn away, an authoritative woman in green had come out from the estate.
Showing a gentle smile at the sight of the child: “Little Young Miss, His Monarchness is currently out and not around, he’s expected to return in a few days.”
The cheerful smile of the child swiftly disappeared following Second Elder Butterfly’s explanation. Pursing those tiny lips into a thin line of frustration: “Auntie Butterfly, do you know when Grandpapa is coming back? I’m leaving and want to say goodbye to him.”
“I’m sorry, the monarch did not say exactly when.” Butterfly makes a troubled expression before looking up at the demon queen, “Lady, you are the little young miss’s mother? Our monarch will be back in a few days, can you wait for him to return first before departing?”
Bai Yan didn’t reply right away, instead she gazed down at her daughter’s figure who clearly wanted to meet that person before leaving.
Ling Yan have always been heavy on her feelings. If she’s finding that grandfather to be so important then he must’ve been very kind to her, otherwise she wouldn’t be so reluctant to leave.
“Mother…” The pipsqueak turns to look up with that pathetically sad gaze, “I want to say goodbye to Grandpapa.”
Meeting that peachy pink face, Bai Yan couldn’t help but chuckle at her insistence: “Okay, we will leave once he returns.”
It’s my daughter, how can I ever bear to let her down?
What’s more, we can’t leave this place for the time being anyways so there’s no problem in waiting for this monarch to return.
Seeing Bai Yan has agreed to stay, Second Elder Butterfly naturally breathed a sigh of relief. She was beginning to worry that the other party would insist on leaving before Heavenly returns. That would definitely make their liege very sad if he returns and the girl goes missing.
“Miss Gu Ya, how come you are here?” It’s only then does Butterfly realize there’s a third person standing further ahead. Furrowing up her temple, “I believe the monarch told you to not get close to the little young miss, how come you are here at the estate?”
“I…” Gu Ya’s complexion got a bit whiter as she quickly came up with a excuse, “I came to see Heavenly.”
Heavenly?
The name gave Bai Yan an instant flashback to that world behind the bronze gate.
Didn’t the ancient diary mention Heavenly when she was floating around in the sky as a spirit? The most interesting person she ever met eh…. If I’m not mistaken, this Heavenly should be the same one. In that case, it would do well to meet him before leaving. Someone that’s willing to sacrifice their own flesh and body for the sake of the world cannot be some mundane or bad person.
