Dressed in white, those enchanting features of the grandmother shared a close resemblance with Bai Yan, the exception being that she’s colder and prouder instead of the dominating type.
Gu Ya didn’t like Bai Ning the second she lay eyes upon her. Without knowing why, the self conceited lady radiated hostility that has never before seen to anyone.
Naturally Bai Ning also noticed the hostile gaze coming at herself from that woman, but instead of giving more attention to some random stranger she doesn’t know or care about, the grandmother would rather appease the crying child in her arms.
“Ling Yan, take grandmother here to see your mother.” Bai Ning loses the cold hardness in those eyes when saying this, replaced only by gentle kindness.
Rubbing her weeping eyes, the pipsqueak stammers the response: “Bu-But these baddies want to interrupt Mother’s treatment of Big Sister. They say Mother is going to hurt Big Sister, and that she’s only out to seduce Grandpapa.”
The corner of Bai Ning’s lip rose into a sarcastic smirk after hearing that outlandish claim. Caressing the child’s head so she would calm down and stop hiccupping: “Since my granddaughter said none of you can go disturb my daughter then none of you can go further.”
“Lady,” Elder Sky deepens the furrowing forehead, his voice cold and harsh, “the sister mentioned by Miss Ling Yan is my own granddaughter, her treatment will be decided by me her own family. Madam, I ask that you not get involved and step aside.”
Casting a faint glance at the old senior who spoke: “Your granddaughter’s life is not of my concern, but my daughter’s decision is. If my daughter wants to kill someone then none can stop her, and if she wants to save someone then none can interfere either! So, you better watch your tongue, I won’t be told on what to do by anyone!”
“Then you leave me no choice but to use force,” said Elder Sky with a hint of disdain for that blind arrogance, “you bunch go subdue Miss Ling Yan, I will deal with this madam.”
The pipsqueak panicked, her little body curling up against Bai Ning’s arm further due to fear of being caught again.
However, that concern was for not. Forget about catching the pipsqueak, they don’t even want to get near after being burned on the hands. Some of those burns were so intense that they’re already starting to show bubbles on the skin!
“What are you guys doing?” Ji Sky’s complexion darkened into a black hole after seeing no movement from behind.
“Elder, Miss Ling Yan, she….” The guard captain timidly speaks where he got cut off by that menacing glare from the senior.
“Stop worrying about the consequences, I will bear all the blame if the monarch wishes to punish any of you.”
The poor guards all wanted to cry at that moment. Apparently their hesitation there got mistaken for fear of Heavenly punishing them. Heck no! They’re not afraid of being punished by their liege and master, rather it’s the freakiness of the girl over there. Who in the world would suddenly get insanely hot like a burning torch?
But fear was fear, they aren’t going to ignore a direct order from Elder Sky. Inching forward like turtles, these poor men carefully surrounded the child: “Miss Ling Yan, can you…. can you be good and stand to one side by yourself? We won’t do anything, just stand over there, okay?”
Huffing a grunt with that little nose pointing high, Di Ling Yan pinches her lips into an adorable frown: “You baddies are not allowed to hurt Mother, I’m not afraid of you anymore with Grandmother here….”
