Chapter 639: Chapter 637: Right Protector, Long Time No See

The little girl climbed off the large goose. She glanced at Elder Warren and said, "It’s my brother. It’s Ellie’s brother, he’s back." In the little girl’s mind, her brother was a grand figure, tall and strapping. ’He’s more handsome than any other brother I’ve ever seen.’

Hearing this, Elder Warren paused, then chuckled. "Is it your brother Aaron? Has our Young Master returned?"

Elder Lawson also chimed in, "Ellie, sweetie, has the Young Master really returned?"

The little girl nodded slightly. "Yep! My brother is back, and he’s even more handsome and taller than in his pictures. I was just about to go find him! I’ll take you."

Elder Lawson reached out and gently patted the little girl’s head. "Alright, let Grandpa carry you, and we’ll go find your brother." As he spoke, he reached down and lifted the child into his arms. Following the little girl’s directions, they set off to see their Young Master.

They could no longer sense what their Young Master’s Cultivation level was. So, if the Young Master chose to hide his Cultivation, they truly couldn’t detect his whereabouts.

On their way to see Aaron Sinclair, they ran into Elder Sawyer, who was coming from the Hall of Enforcement. Accompanying Elder Sawyer were Yvonne Sawyer and her husband, Victor Rhodes.

In Elder Sawyer’s group, aside from the lively and talkative Victor Rhodes, the rest were the cold and aloof type, creating a peculiar dynamic. Furthermore, Elder Sawyer’s shock of white hair was so conspicuous that he could be recognized from a great distance. Even if they disguised their faces and stood in a crowd, they could be identified by that frosty aura alone.

Elder Sawyer stopped and looked toward Elder Lawson’s group.

"Old Man Lawson, where are you headed?"

Elder Lawson looked up at them and said with a laugh, "Haha, you didn’t know, did you, Old Man Sawyer? Our Young Master is back. I’m going to see him."

"Huh?" Hearing this, Elder Sawyer was taken aback and instinctively replied, "The Young Master is back? When did he return? How did we not hear anything?"

Seeing Yvonne’s family, the little girl in Elder Lawson’s arms greeted each of them. "Grandfather Sawyer... Aunt Yvie, Uncle, hello!"

The moment he saw little Elise Sinclair, Victor Rhodes rushed forward, took her from Elder Lawson, and held her in his arms. "Oh, my little darling, I missed you to death!" he said, nuzzling her. He was very fond of children and desperately wanted a daughter with Yvonne. Unfortunately, that wish had yet to come true.

The little girl pushed against his face with her hand. "Alright, alright, I know! Uncle, if you nuzzle me anymore, my skin’s going to come off."

"Hahaha, okay, sweetie."

Hearing this, Yvonne, who was standing to the side, felt the corner of her mouth twitch as she couldn’t help but laugh. She gently patted the girl’s head and pinched her chubby little cheek. "Ellie, come let Auntie hold you."

The little girl reached out her arms and was passed to someone new.

Victor Rhodes was heartbroken.

"Our Elise doesn’t love me anymore! Boo-hoo-hoo, my heart hurts. I need a kiss to make it better."

The little girl rolled her eyes at him. "Uncle, you’re so childish."

Yvonne chuckled. "Did you hear that, Victor Rhodes? Even our Ellie says you’re childish."

Victor Rhodes clutched his chest, feigning a look of heartbreak. "You... you’re all so cruel and unreasonable!"

Holding little Elise Sinclair with one arm, Yvonne slapped him on the forehead with her free hand. "Let’s go. You’re a grown man, stop acting like a child."

"Hehe..." Victor Rhodes put his arm around Yvonne’s shoulder and leaned in close. "Getting hit is affection, and getting scolded is love. Sweetheart, you really do love me. I love you too, sweetheart. Kissy." He leaned in and planted a kiss on her cheek.

Yvonne: "..."

’What have I done to deserve this! How on earth did I fall for this guy in the first place? Is he returnable?’

Little Elise Sinclair covered her eyes and said, "Aunt Yvie, Uncle, you’re so mushy! It’s giving me goosebumps. I can’t stand you two." The little girl sounded just like a little adult, but her words were unbearably cute.

At this, Victor Rhodes burst out laughing and patted her head. "Hahaha, really? Let Uncle see what your goosebumps look like."

Watching this scene, Elder Sawyer, still standing in the same spot, didn’t know whether to laugh or cry. However, seeing his niece and nephew-in-law so happy together, he felt a sense of gratification. Elder Sawyer thought that agreeing to their marriage back then had been the right decision.

Elder Sawyer held out his hand, and a skewer of candied fruit appeared in it. He offered it to the little girl, a rare smile gracing his eyes as he looked at her. He was typically a man of stern disposition who rarely smiled.

"Look what I have here."

"Is it candied fruit?" The little girl’s face lit up with a smile as she took it. "Thank you, Grandfather Sawyer."

"Good girl..."

As he spoke, Elder Sawyer gently patted her head. "Come, let’s go see the Young Master..."

「At the same time, in a deep pool, the Azure Dragon, who had been resting, slowly opened his eyes.」 A hint of surprise appeared in them, and a bright light flashed within his draconic pupils.

He had sensed it.

’This aura... It’s Vermilion’s and the White Tiger’s.’

’Ruby and Cub have come to this world. Their auras are close, right here in The Demonic Domain. If Ruby and Cub are both here, that means the Young Master is here too.’

In that instant, the Azure Dragon moved. His colossal body swam through the water, heading straight for the surface. He leaped out of the water and soared into the air. In a flash, an azure dragon was flying straight into the distance. Compared to before, the Azure Dragon’s current form was thicker and more robust, each scale shimmering with boundless Mana and a healthy luster.

After flying into the sky, the Azure Dragon shrank and transformed into a human. His human form was that of a handsome, slender, and tall young man. He typically liked to wrap himself up tightly in a black cloak. Only the locks of hair that fell from under his veiled hat were a shade of azure. When he lifted his head, faint scales could be seen on his face, but they quickly vanished.

He raised his head slightly, his gaze locking onto Vermilion’s location. With a flicker, his figure vanished from the spot. Coming and going without a trace, the power of Jade, the Right Protector, was even greater than before.

Jade was the first to find Aaron Sinclair.

It was early in the morning, but Aaron Sinclair was not in his residential palace.

Having just arrived, he was familiarizing himself with Ashkaron Palace, including the surroundings of the city of Ashkaron. After a quick tour, he had only one impression. ’This territory is massive. Someone with a poor sense of direction could probably get lost right on their own doorstep.’

Atop a mountain peak, before a viewing platform, Aaron Sinclair was lying on a large rock. His legs were crossed, a blade of grass was dangling from his mouth, and his arms were pillowed behind his head. Not far away was the RUSHING sound of a waterfall, and a wave of Spiritual Energy washed over him, bringing a comfortable, cooling sensation.

Just then, he sensed a familiar aura.

’This aura? An old acquaintance.’

Aaron Sinclair sat up immediately.

As he looked over, a figure in black appeared not far from him. The moment the figure appeared, he dropped to one knee, placed a hand over his chest, and bowed in salute.

"Your subordinate greets you, Young Master."
