The woman in blue doesn’t believe that this old guy would let his granddaughter die like this, hence the confidence her speech.
“Ji Song!” Ji Sky’s voice sounded a heart wrenching battle cry as he crushed the blades into dust with his bare hands. “All of you get out of my way!”
His momentum exploded, and those close to him stumbled backwards due to the effect. However, they soon stabilized their pace and again surrounded the old grandfather in the middle.
“Grandfather,” Ji Song swings her gaze over and spoke with a cool calm voice, “I am not afraid of anything so you do not have to worry about me. You have to remember that you are the first elder of the Heavenly Domain, some things… are more important than me.”
Aching in the heart over his granddaughter’s maturity, Ji Sky spews another mouthful of blood as his momentum deflated.
“I told you all to let go of my granddaughter, are you deaf?! What skill do you bastards have in harming a child! If you got the balls then come at me instead!”
Song, she’s just a child….
And my only concern in the world…
But betraying the monarch is not possible, even if I don’t know if he’s able to get out of the ruins, that doesn’t matter!
What’s more, next to the ruins, there is still Ling Yan waiting for her mother….
How can I ever put that little one in danger after her mother entrusted that child to me?
But if I don’t say anything then Song is bound to lose her life….
Do I really have to let me one and only granddaughter die?
Ji Sky slowly closed those pained eyes, his mind returning back to the picture of how Heavenly singlehandedly paid the price of sealing off the domains due to that righteous determination.
Then after that scene, another image appeared with Bai Yan entering the ruins with the same type of determination….
Gradually, the old elder shot open eyes again. With the hesitation gone, he returns his sight upon the young girl with the loving gaze of a grandfather.
“Little Song, are you really not afraid of anything?”
Ji Song’s sight fixes onto her grandfather with the same type of determination in those memories: “I am not afraid, as long as we’re together then I fear nothing….”
“Hahaha!” Ji Sky breaks out into a hysterical laugh at that. He continued this until tears gradually flowed out of those old eyes.
“How can I turn my back on the Monarch Manor when your parents died for the Heavenly Domain? My little Song, I promise you, afterwards I will definitely get revenge on these people for you. Then… then I will accompany you to the afterlife so we can all be a family again.”
The other elders all stared at their leader with surprise.
No one knows better than they do regarding the level of love Ji Sky had for this child.
She’s his life. Without this granddaughter, he would be without a purpose. By then, what other reason does he have to live?
“Grandfather,” Ji Song softly formed a smile as her eyes beamed with pride, “you are my hero.”
In comparison to saving a granddaughter, giving one up requires even more courage….
