296 Go! Quickly Go! (1/2)
Yao Ying quickly touched Yao Ling's cheek tenderly and felt that something somewhat had changed. He could see that her eyes started to flutter softly and it made him happy. 'She's coming back!' He thought to himself. True enough, not too long after that, Yao Ling opened her eyes slowly.
Even though he had prepared himself, Yao Ying still jumped in surprise and quickly asked worriedly, ”Are you okay?”
Yao Ling smiled and nodded her head. In a hoarse voice, she asked, ”Where is my grandmother?”
Yao Ying was confused. ”Grandmother? Who is your grandmother?” He didn't forget to help her up and pour her a cup of water, which Yao Ling drank in one go. She was beyond thirsty.
”Aunt Yue...” Yao Ling answered softly. ”She's my grandmother!”
Yao Ying turned around and pointed at Aunt Yue. He was quite surprised by the sudden turn of event, but he didn't make any comment on it. He knew that she would tell him about it later.
Aunt Yue also opened her eyes at the same time, but her legs suddenly became weak like jelly. She almost fell down, fortunately, Lin Jian caught her in time. The latter had already seen Aunt Yue's pale face the moment Aunt Yue opened her eyes, that was why he decided to go closer to Aunt Yue --- just in case she needed help. True enough, she really needed his help.
Xiao Fang heard what Yao Ling had said and she became curious. She really wanted to ask about why Yao Ling said that Aunt Yue was her grandmother. Were they really blood-related?
However, before she could ask anything, Aunt Yue said in a hoarse voice, ”Go! Quickly go! Don't let him find out about you. Yao Ling, you must erase your presence here. Close your eyes and it will come to you how you should do it! I already imprinted everything that I know into your mind! Go, quickly go!”
Aunt Yue was still able to cover up their trace, but it wasn't going to be long. Her power started to diminish at a fast speed and the quartet could see that her face started to age really fast too. They were surprised by the sudden change and almost... almost gaped at Aunt Yue, but they understood that it was impolite. Thus, they tried to maintain their calmness.
”No, Grandma... No!” Yao Ling yelled. She wasn't going to leave her behind, after all, she had just found her!
Aunt Yue tried to smile despite her pain. ”Yao Ling, be good! Our people can only prosper with you around. Also, remember your parents. Go find them! I'm already too old and it's time for me to go!” She tried her hardest to coax Yao Ling.
Aunt Yue coughed and she covered her mouth with her hand. She could feel the bloody taste inside her mouth and she wasn't able to hide it from everyone. They could see that she was coughing out blood and they knew that her internal injuries were quite severe.
Yao Ling quickly jumped up and hugged her grandmother, ”No! Grandmother, you will be fine! We will live happily ever after! Together with my parents!”
Aunt Yue looked at Yao Ying and pointed at her desk with a trembling hand, ”Take the scroll inside the first drawer... everything... it will be helpful for Yao Ling...”
Yao Ying quickly took it and asked, ”Are these the scrolls?”
Aunt Yue nodded. Yao Ying stood a bit closer to her and Aunt Yue gripped his hand tightly, ”Please... Take care of my granddaughter! Make her happy!”
Yao Ying nodded solemnly. ”I promise you, Aunt Yue!”
