“Are you referring to me?” Bai Yan finally asks after growing hesitant but did so anyways due to the intense look from the old coot.
“Bai Bai? You don’t recognize me? I’m your grandpapa. Is it because of them? Did you lose your memories because these bastards killed you? It must be them!” Growing maddeningly red in the eye, the crazy old coot gradually shifts his gaze towards the back mountain where some of the Keepers were currently at.
But that quickly changed when he turns back to Bai Yan. This time there’s only kind warmness in his voice. “Good granddaughter, don’t be afraid of those bastards, your grandpapa here will protect you. I won’t let them hurt you.”
Instantly, a wave of aching pain filled Bai Yan’s heart when staring at this old man’s appearance. She couldn’t stop it nor know why she’s so emotional to the point its suffocating.
No, I can’t procrastinate any longer, I must hurry and deal with these guys before those Keepers come back.
Thinking up to here, Bai Yan’s indecisive mindset swiftly firmed up: “I am not that granddaughter you keep mentioning about, you’ve got the wrong person. I got other things I need to deal with, can you leave this place first?”
Wrong person?
The old coot’s eyes suddenly got dull like the soul just left him: “No, how can I recognize the wrong person? You are my good granddaughter. I am not wrong! Bai Bai, do you still blame me for what happened back then, for not being able to protect you? Is that why you won’t recognize me….” He then extended his hand out like a child wanting to plead for forgiveness. “Ooohoo, Bai Bai, I know my wrong so don’t leave me behind…” The more he sobbed, the more painful and heart aching it was to the ear like he’s trying to convey the pain and loneliness he’s suffered over the years.
For the only company Bai Yan brought along, which was the celestial fox, she didn’t like the way was panning out at all. For one thing, the Keepers who went to the training ground and Demon City wouldn’t return as quickly even if they got the message, however, those who went to the back mountain could easily return in no time at all. For the sake of her mistress and herself, the fox hurried to lick the lady’s hand to remind her to move it less they get trapped here!
“Celestial Fox, you take this old man and leave this place first, I’ll come after I finish up here.” Bai Yan orders after understanding the issue here.
“Awoo.” Complying by jumping down from her shoulder, the fox wasted no time to bite down at the old coot’s robe to drag away.
But the dull daze state of this crazy old coot wouldn’t last long. After a short distance, he suddenly regained himself and pushed the fox away to run back over to Bai Yan’s spot.”
“Bai Bai, good granddaughter, grandpapa will not leave you, I will never leave you again in this life….”
Boom!
Before more could be said, Bai Yan had already brandished her Godslayer to release its power. As a result of that, the recoiling force had sent the old elder flying back several steps.
“Impudent wench!” Wu Ling sneered, drawing his own sword as well to confront the lady.
Unlike his peers, this leading Guardian Knight moved like lightning. With one leap and he was already in front of Bai Yan, his blade aiming straight for her face.
