Chapter 139 Being Watched! (1/2)
”He had awoken.”
She then continued on with a glance behind her to say: ”He is immersed in guilt and self reproach, saying that he had not protected me properly.” With a sigh, she then said: ”Come on! Let's go in to take a look at him and I can introduce you as well.”
”Sure.” Guan Xi Lin nodded and followed Feng Jiu into the room.
Upon entering the room, they saw him leaning back against the head of the bed looking deep in thought. Seeing that, Feng Jiu called out to him. ”Grandfather.”
The Old Patriarch snapped back to his senses and saw the two of them come in, his gaze naturally fixing upon Guan Xi Lin as he gauged the young man. ”Little Feng, he is…..”
”Your junior Guan Xi Lin greets Grandfather Feng.” Guan Xi Lin stepped forward to offer a respectful greeting, a jovial and unbridled smile upon his face.
”Grandfather, he is elder sworn brother I have gotten myself and I address him as my Big Brother.” Feng Jiu said as he went forward to hold the old man's hand. She then said: ”He's helped me a lot, and is a rather nice chap.”
The Old Patriarch nodded and said to Guan Xi Lin: ”My Little Feng is indebted under her elder brother's care.”
”Grandfather Feng is putting it too harshly.” Guan Xi Lin replied, a little embarra.s.sed. When had he helped Little Jiu with anything? It was more like Little Jiu was taking care of him.
”Mistress.” Leng Shuang called out from outside.
”Come in.” Feng Jiu said from inside the room.
The Old Patriarch looked in the direction of the voice and saw a woman dressed in black carrying things inside and he discreetly measured her up. Before he could even think further, he heard Feng Jiu at his side saying.
”Grandfather, she is Leng Shuang, my personal attendant.”
The Old Patriarch was surprised. [Personal attendant? The woman in black had a very steady air about her and although she was young, her cultivation would be considered to be outstanding among her peers. It was the same for Guan Xi Lin as well. From where did his Little Feng come to know these two people?]
