”Jinghua, come over here. Grandpa has something to tell you!” After excusing himself from the group, Bu Batian pulled Bu Jinghua to the side and deeply sighed, ”Jinghua, tomorrow you will have to marry into the fourth prince's mansion. Grandfather knows that you will not be able to endure it and will no longer want to be bullied by anyone, but, in other people's homes, here, no matter what you do, he will support you and stand by your side. But in the fourth prince's house, it is impossible for Grandfather to be by your side anymore, so, in the future, you will have to rely on yourself for everything. Grandfather only has you, and you're the only one in the Bu Family. You … We won't let grandpa down, will we! ” Looking at Bu Jinghua's bright eyes, Bu Batian's solemn eyes were filled with seriousness.

Why didn't Bu Jinghua know what Bu Batian meant? In Bu Batian's eyes, what happened today was too rash. However, Bu Jinghua did this on purpose. If he was able to remain calm in the face of that kind of situation, wouldn't it arouse suspicion? She was only a ”sixteen year old” little girl. There was no need for her to be too calm in everything.

”Grandfather, don't worry. Jing Hua understands!” Bu Jinghua did not explain and only nodded seriously. She knew that Bu Batian was only worried about her and that this care was enough for her.

”Grandfather, in the past, Jinghua will not decadent his martial arts industry. In less than a month's time, he will have a duel with Longyi. I'm not just messing around, I'm confident that you can see my good news, grandfather!” Bu Jinghua nodded with confidence in his eyes.

Seeing that confidence, Bu Batian felt at ease. At the same time, it also aroused the curiosity in his heart.

”Jinghua, you, don't you have an expert teaching you from behind?” Bu Batian finally revealed the suspicion that had been lurking in his heart for a long time. To be able to make a person's thoughts and abilities change so much, unless an expert was guiding them.

Ugh …” Hearing this sudden question, Bu Jinghua was a little surprised. For a moment, he didn't know how to respond. Why did Grandpa ask that? However, it wasn't unusual for her to think this way. After all, her recent changes were too great and she still had a small silver spear. If not for the presence of the 'master', where would a 'brat' like her be able to obtain such a powerful and advanced weapon?

Thinking of this, Bu Jinghua no longer tried to hide it. The more he did so, the more doubtful he became.

”Grandfather, you're so awesome. You can even guess that point. Yes, there really is an expert's teacher giving pointers to Jinghua!” Bu Jinghua smiled and nodded. Bee Dragon, although there are many things that are not directly related to you, you are still her teacher. As for whether you are an expert or not, that will have to wait until the future. Therefore, it should be reasonable to temporarily bring you out as a shield.

”Oh? Is that true? Then who was this master? Can you let grandpa get to know you? ” Hearing Bu Jinghua's words, Bu Batian's face became even more cheerful as his interest was piqued. He had to see it for himself and thank it in person for everything he did. He also wanted to entrust Bu Jinghua to him.

”This …” Bu Jinghua hesitated.

”Why?” Looking at Bu Jinghua's expression, Bu Batian knew he was hopeless.

”It's like this, grandpa. Right now, it's inconvenient for Teacher to see anyone. Teacher said that after a few more days, when he's more convenient, he will personally come to visit grandpa, so …” Bu Jinghua embarrassedly looked at Bu Batian.

”Oh, is that so! Since it's not convenient, we'll just wait until next time, hehe! ” Even though Bu Batian was disappointed, since it was an expert who said so, he had no reason to oppose it. If an expert was unhappy, then wouldn't he be at a disadvantage? Thus, it was best to follow the wishes of an expert.

Bu Batian restrained the coy smile on his face and said: ”Un, Jinghua, then please treat me like this and thank that teacher of yours! There's nothing to worry about, the only one who can't be at ease is you. Now that I know you have an expert teaching me, I'll be much more at ease! ” Bu Batian's gaze instantly widened to a great distance. He still had a look of worry on his face.

”Grandfather, do you think that Jinghua has grown up and can take charge of himself?” His grandfather's worry made his grandfather look as if he had aged a long time. His face was filled with the vicissitudes of life, causing him to feel heartache just by looking at it.

”This... ”Haha, that's right, Jinghua, you've grown up and can take charge of yourself. However, in my grandfather's heart, you will always be a child!” Bu Batian laughed, but his eyes were filled with gratification. He looked at the serious little face and said lovingly.

Pfft, can you not say the last sentence? This caused her to not know how to reply. Bu Jinghua was puzzled.

”Grandfather, I'm no longer a child!” Bu Jinghua seriously resisted, but in Bu Jingtian's eyes, it was a different kind of cuteness.

”Hahaha, right, Jinghua isn't a child anymore, tomorrow Jinghua is going to marry someone, he shouldn't be a child anymore, hahaha!” Bu Batian said while stroking Bu Jinghua's little head.

”This …” Sigh, Grandfather, that wasn't what she meant at all. She only wanted to say: She could really take on a lot of responsibilities, including some matters regarding the Bu Family, and even some things that would trouble Grandfather.

”Grandpa …” Bu Jinghua heavily sighed and called out, ”Grandfather, I am not joking. I think there are some things that I should know, especially about you. About the matter with the Bu Family, grandpa, I think I can share it with you!” Bu Jinghua seriously looked at Bu Batian's slightly shocked and aged eyes. The inside of the eyes was actually filled with mist, and Bu Jinghua was so excited that he looked like he was about to cry. Bu Jinghua was surprised.

Bu Jinghua knew that his grandfather's worry was definitely related to the Bu family. Although her current ability might not be able to help his grandfather, she would still try her best to move in that direction.

Even if it wasn't for her grandfather, but for herself, she still had to do this.

”Jing Hua, grandpa already feels gratified that you can say such words. It's just that … Even if you do know, it's just to add to your troubles. Therefore, your main task now is still to work hard to increase your strength, and when Grandpa feels that you can completely protect yourself, Grandpa will definitely tell you, I'll let you share it with me! ” Bu Batian's eyes were moist, and even his voice had a hint of hoarseness to it. He was truly happy that such a young age would want to share his troubles with him. Even an adult might not be able to say something like that. What's more, she was just a little girl who had just turned sixteen.

This granddaughter of his really wasn't in vain. He now deeply believed that his initial perseverance was correct. He insisted on trusting Bu Jinghua.
