Black Bellied Belle: Demon Lord, Bite The Bait Please-Chapter 330.4 - : Dreaming of the Past
From the moment since he appeared, she had merely glanced briefly his way once, not paying him all that much attention, treating him like he was invisible.
It was not until the old man showed up, which immediately dispersed the bunch of children, all of them scattering like frightened rabbits before the young girl finally showed a change in her expression as she called out to the old man in a soft voice: “Grandfather.”
The old man nodded and then turned his gaze onto the youth. “You’re here.”
“Yes, Family Head.” The youth lowered his head slightly to say.
Except for children who are his direct line descendants, everyone else had to address the old man as Family Head. This was a rule in the family clan set for generations even though the other children were also his grandchildren, but just a little more distant in blood.
A branch family is still a branch family afterall and they cannot come to compare with his direct line descendants.
But this youth here….. was an exception.
He was a child from the branch family, but it seemed like a dark horse had appeared from a branch family this time.
This youth was extremely gifted in cultivation, more outstanding than his eldest son back when he was at this age. Maybe, with proper grooming, he might come to achieve even greater heights and would be able to assist the next generation’s Family Head greatly.
As long as….. He was forever unwaveringly loyal.
The old man’s gaze deepened slightly as he opened his mouth to say: “From today onwards, you will train together with these children. You are exceptionally gifted and I hope that you can lead all of them to improve together with you.”
The youth smiled warmly and then replied respectfully: “I will heed the Family Head’s orders and do everything I can.”
When the group of children heard that the good looking elder brother will be training together with them from now onwards, they were all extremely delighted.
“Right. This is my granddaughter Qing Yu. I have kept her right by my side all this time as her parents departed from this world early. Take good care of her for me from here on.” The old man then said to the youth.
The youth was stunned for a moment before he lowered his eyes down to look at the young girl who only reached just above his hip. She seemed so cold and indifferent. Even after what the old man said, she did not show much in the way of emotion but just raised her eyes up to look at him.
The youth curved up the ends of his lips and smiled before crouching down to reach her eye level. His eyes looked like they had stars twinkling in them, warm and enchanting.
“Is your name Qing Yu? What a nice name. Can I just call you Qing Qing from now on?”
“My name is Qing Tian Lin, and from today onwards, I am your elder brother, so I will protect you.” His eyes were filled with smiles as he looked at the young girl, the look on his face serious and sombre.
Qing Yu was flustered for a moment.
Elder brother?
Does that make him a kin that she could let her guard down towards, to trust and rely on without worry….
