Chapter 1808 “Path to Escape (4)”
“This won’t do, I promised your mother to look after you, I can’t leave you alone and not care.” Ji Sky’s frown had now caused his wrinkles to become deep gashes, which also magnified his worry and hesitation.
On one hand if he doesn’t go and help the Monarch Manor then it would be destroyed. By then countless deaths and injuries would occur, this includes his own granddaughter Song who stayed behind at home. But if he leaves this place though, that would mean he’s leaving behind this pipsqueak after he promised to look after her in Bai Yan’s stead. No matter what he chooses, the result would hurt one or the other side.
Carrying her lovely face to look up at the old grandpa: “You should leave, you cannot let Sister Song be in danger, and, the Monarch Manor’s people are also Grandpapa’s subordinate. I do not want to be the reason they get hurt.”
Grandpapa Heavenly is so kind to me, I mustn’t be a drag on him for selfish reasons. But I also can’t leave this place, I know Mother will be worried if she comes out and don’t see me….“Elder Sky, your strength is the strongest aside from the monarch himself, only you can ensure the security of everyone over there. Don’t worry, I will stay behind and watch over Miss Ling Yan.” Elder Butterfly smiles and l ck eye with the pipsqueak before nodding, “Nothing will happen while under my watch, I promise this.”
In terms of power, Butterfly would be second among her peers, weaker only by Elder Sky.
“Okay.” Ji Sky mused over the idea for a second and agreed.
Bringing Ling Yan back with him to the manor may not be the best option, after all, if a fight breaks out he may not necessarily be able to protect her. If Elder Butterfly’s willing to stay behind to care for her then it’s the best he could ask for.
“Miss Ling Yan, I will quickly deal with those attackers and return. Please stay with Elder Butterfly while I’m away.” The old senior casts a uneasy look at the child.
Due to the twitching in his eye, Ji Sky didn’t wait and hurried off out of worry for his own granddaughter Song. Just like that, he’s gone after turning himself into a yellow bolt of lightning.
“Actually…” the little pipsqueak gently scratched the sand wit her tiny finger, her voice soft and tiny, “Grandpa Sky isn’t such a bad person.”She could somewhat understand why the senior would behave so stubborn and rude since it’s related to Song, but the displeasure of her grandmother Bai Ning being hurt still made her unhappy inside.
“If…” the little pipsqueak drags her face by propping it against one of her palm, “If Mother and Grandmother forgives him then I will too.”
Surprised by the remark, Butterfly suddenly found herself wanting to chuckle at that childish behavior.
“What if your mother and grandmother don’t forgive him?” The woman smiled and gave the child a rub on the head.
Looking up with those curious eyes, a clever light beamed out of them like a fox: “In that case, I won’t forgive him either, that’s obvious.”
Speechless now, Butterfly helplessly shakes her head in amusement.
Mrs. Di is such a lucky woman to have such a wonderful daughter….
Exactly then, the woman’s finger froze from out of the blue, her eyes popping in shock as her body turned rigid. Slowly looking up, what appeared inside her vision was an old man in white standing not far away. He got there without her sensing him at all until now!
