Novel Full Chapter 474
Chapter 474 “The Imminent Start of the Convention (1)”
“Xiachen, you don’t want to see me?” Hurt to the point where his heart aches terribly, Bai Zhanpeng asks with sadness in his voice.
“No, it’s not like that,” the boy hurries to reply after seeing the man’s reaction, “I also like Grandpa Zhanpeng a lot.”
“Then why do you want to leave as soon as you saw me?”
“I…” Not answering for the longest time, Bai Xiachen took a good minute before he could make up his mind, “Grandpa Zhanpeng, I won’t leave, don’t worry.”
Now that was all the man needed to hear. Smiling all over, this young lord of the Medicine Sect only wanted to grab this little steambun and give him the biggest hug of all times. In fact, if he could kidnap the boy and keep him here forever then it would be even better knowing he’s his grand-nephew.
“Xiachen, your mother, is she… also here as well?” Bai Zhanpeng hurries to ask.
Blinking his eyes at the inquiry, Bai Xiachen faintly nods in confirmation: “Mhmm, Mother is at the main avenue. Do you want to meet her?”
It’s absolutely true the man here wanted to meet his niece before knowing she’s here, but now that he’s confronting with the truth, it appears Bai Zhanpeng was starting to get the cold feet instead.
What would she do if I tell her right away about our relationship? Maybe she would take it as me trying to use her or something bad….
No!
I can’t let the small little bit of good feelings I built in her eyes to be tarnished over something mediocre like impatience. I must come up with a way to prove our identity with Father first.
Also, it will also avoid those other people within the Medicine Sect from saying those irresponsible remarks.
“This…” The man’s head churned with ideas, his eyes nervous and unsure when meeting the baby boy’s eye: “Xiachen, I like to ask you a question. If, let’s say if…. what if your mother suddenly discovers she has another grandfather, would she accept him?”
“Well that’s of course if this grandfather likes me a lot,” blinking his big innocent eyes, Bai Xiachen tilts his head like he’s a tad confused by the strange question. “Mother would surely like him as well if that’s the case.” “…..”
Bai Zhanpeng became rather speechless over this answer. It’s too straightforward.
“Xiachen, your great grandfather would surely like you, just that your mother, she….”
“If he likes me then that’s all good, there’s no problem then. However, the premise must be that he’s my ‘great grandfather’.” Biting his thumb, the boy appears puzzled now: “Where is my great-grandfather? Do you know where he is? I know Mother would want to find out where my grandmother is”
“I have a way,” Bai Zhanpeng’s eye flashed with glee, “As long as Xiachen you help me get a close intimate object from your mother, even a strand of hair will do, then I can do that. Will you help Grandpa Zhanpeng in the task?”
Even if the man himself was already sure of Bai Yan’s identity to a certain degree, but merely recognizing the girl back into the family wouldn’t be enough. His main objective lies in gifting the entire Medicine Sect to the girl. In that case, he must stuff up the mouths of those old-timers first using a special method. Blood mixing won’t prove anything, he knows that much.
“Really?” The boy’s eye lit up as well, “Then Grandpa Zhanpeng can help find my Mother’s relative?”
“I can only give it a try. In addition, this is a secret between us. Don’t tell your mother first.” Rubbing that little head, the man’s expression shined with gentle warmth.
“Okay!” Giving a serious nod, Bai Xiachen then became troubled while he bit his lip: “But Grandpa Zhanpeng, would you… let’s say if, if your daughter was bullied by someone, would you hate those people?”
