Chapter 1210: Father and Son (2/2)

“Hmph, Xiao Bao’s not a liar, and dad has already given me a new name. It’s Shangguan Aojian,” Xiao Bao confidently replied.

“I- impossible. That can’t be true.” Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue both became shocked. They refused to believe that Xiao Bao’s father was Jian Chen. Who was his mother then?

However, they already had an answer in their heads because of the way their master treated Xiao Bao as well as the fact that the Heavenly Enchantress’ gaze towardhim would be filled with motherly love. They just refused to believe it.

The Heavenly Enchantress returned to the island. She glanced over Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue with her enchanting eyes and sighed inside. She could already tell that Xiao Bao’s true identity had been exposed from their expressions.

“Master, Xiao Bao’s origins…” Xiao Qian continued to look at the Heavenly Enchantress in disbelief in attempt to obtain an answer.

The Heavenly Enchantress’ gaze flickered and avoided them. At this moment, she was actually unwilling to meet her three disciples’ eyes. She seemed very calm on the surface, but she was a complete mess down below.

“Xiao Qian, Xiao Yue, Qin Qin, you are dismissed,” the Heavenly Enchantress said coldly and emotionlessly.

Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue both became wide-eyed. Although they never finished asking, their meaning was obviously conveyed very clearly. However, what really surprised them was that not only did their master avoid the topic, she was avoiding them as well.

They had been with their master for many years, but this was the first time they had ever seen her like that.

“Senior Xiao Qian, Senior Xiao Yue, let’s go.” Qin Qin went up to grab Xiao Qian and Xiao Yue’s hands, pulling them away with her. Although the matter had never been confirmed, they already knew the answer inside. They just refused to believe it.

The three of them vanished very quickly. The Heavenly Enchantress then coldly looked at Jian Chen. With a slight bit of anger in her eyes, she said, “What’re you doing here?” At this moment, the Heavenly Enchantress was indeed extremely annoyed. Jian Chen’s arrival was without warning and had actually exposed Xiao Bao’s identity to her three disciples. She no longer knew how to face them in the future.

“I’ve obviously come to see my son. As a father, I have the responsibility to care for my child,” smiled Jian Chen. He did not mind the Heavenly Enchantress’ attitude at all.

“Dad, just stay here in the future. You can be with mum everyday, and I can see you everyday as well,” Xiao Bao said. His face was basically pressed against Jian Chen’s while his hot breath tickled Jian Chen’s cheek.

Jian Chen felt deeply moved by Xiao Bao’s eyes, which were brimming in hope. At that moment, he actually felt like he could not turn down Xiao Bao’s request, tempted to just agree to it. After all, he had only learned he had a son when Xiao Bao was already three years old. He had never shown any love to Xiao Bao in the past and did not even know he had a son at all. He felt sorry for not knowing about Xiao Bao.

However, Jian Chen had his reasons. He knew he could not, well at the very least, not right now.

“Xiao Bao, I can’t spend everyday with you right now because I have a lot of important things to attend to. However, I can promise you that once I deal with everything, I’ll spend everyday with you. Alright?” Jian Chen gently replied with eyes filled with love.

“Alright, then I’ll wait for you with mum.”
