Chapter 920 - How To Make Friends III
Jin Kai scrutinize the girl in front of him carefully, there was something very familiar with this girl but he wasn't sure what it is. Luckily the skin masks made by Jin Hao were ten times better than the regular skin masks on the market and that was because Jin Hao had one demanding client which was Zhao Li Xin, every time he had to disguise himself with a skin mask he always complained the mask was too thick, or too stiff, too dry, one time Zhao Li Xin even said it didn't feel natural.
Jin Hao wanted to shout at him saying: 'That's a mask for God's sake!'
Of course, he didn't dare, besides the old Zhao Li Xin before he met Lory was no joke, he was very strict, merciless, and much scarier than now, in fact, the difference between before and after Zhao Li Xin met Lory was like day and night, That's why during that time Jin Hao painstakingly tried to fulfill whatever Zhao Li Xin's ridiculous request and after years of trial and error, he finally succeeded.
Hence no wonder Jin Kai couldn't see anything different about Jin Hua's appearance, but still, his meticulous eyes made Jin Hua shrink her neck out of nervousness, however, Su Miou Lin thought Jin Kai was attracted to Jin Hua immediately her face turn ugly, thinking she just found a love rival.
If only Jin Hua knew what Su Miou Lin was thinking, she would say that Su Miou Lin thought too Highly about Jin Kai, even if JinKai wasn't his half-brother, she wouldn't be attracted to a cruel man who wouldn't hesitate to sacrifice those around him for the sake of to achieve his goal no matter whether that person is family or not, he doesn't care at all.
Moreover, Jin Kai's appearance was no more handsome than his older brother Jin Hao and if she had to choose she was more drawn to Bei Li Yan's androgynous beauty, and all of a sudden Bei Li Yan's face flashed in her mind and Jin Hua suddenly blushed. The funny thing is that Jin Kai thought Jin Hua was blushing because of him, thanks to his narcissism his suspicions of Jin Hua immediately disappeared, he inwardly laughed at himself for being too tense lately.
"So you are the third elder new disciple, it's been a while since the third elder take another disciple" Jin Kai size her up and notice the Qi flow around her was not bad but not special either so he thought the third elder take Jin Hua out of pity.
After he was sure that nothing was wrong with Jin Hua, then JinKai straighten his back and rest one hand behind his back then he give jin Hua a kindly reminder "You must be diligent and try not to disappointed your master"
Jin Hua nods her head and answers timidly "Thank you for your reminder first master"
Jin Kai then turned to Su Miou Lin and placed a dazzling man on his face "Miss Su, I just sent you a water Lily painting, I hope you like it"
Su Miou Lin's face immediately brightened, "Yes, I really like it, thank you first master!" she answered with pure joy brimming in her eyes.
Jin Kai's smile deepen as he looked at her with indulgent eyes "The water Lily paintings are delicate, pure and beautiful so I can't stop thinking how much it's remind me of Miss Su"
Faced with his sweet words how could a fourteen-year-old girl like Su Miou Lin could win, instantly smile bloom radiantly on her youthful face.
"You're too kind.." she averts her gaze shyly.
The other girls who had become spectators watched them with envy and they exchanged meaningful glances, while Jin Hua looked at Jin Kai with a frown because she knew what Jin Kai was trying to do.
Su Miou Lin was too innocent to realize what Jin Kai did was ruining her future, Jin Kai knew after this the other girls would talk about what they were seeing right now to their family and friends, it won't take long before rumors of the ambiguous relationship between Su Miou Lin and Jin Kai would spread all over the clan with that Jin Kai ruled out the possibility of Su Miou Lin marrying another man and also indirectly warned to other men who tried to court Su Miao Lin even though some of them still persistent but if their family found out that Su Miou Lin already had a special relationship with Jin Kai, they will think twice to let their son get close to Su Miou Lin.
Jin Hua was horrified to see them exchanging loving gazes, as the age difference between them was too stark, it make her uncomfortable and add to that Jin Hua realized Jin kai's true purpose in approaching the little girl was impure.
For another five minutes, she was forced to watch their exchange of sweet words which only make Jin Hua cringe, watching a grown-up man flirting with an adolescent girl looks wrong no matter how you see it at least in Jin Hua's eyes.
"Please tell your Grandfather I will be visiting him tonight," said Jin Kai.
Su Miou Lin nodded her head excitedly, "Yes, I will tell Grandpa that the first master is coming!"
"I hope he will welcome my visit because lately, I feel like the Fifth elder is avoiding me." Jin Kai sighed sadly.
Su Miou Lin pout her lips as she inwardly blame her grandfather, then she immediately reassured Jin Kai "That's not true, grandpa has only been busy lately but I will make sure he will meet you tonight!" she said earnestly.
Jin Kai's face was beaming as he looked at Su Miou Lin warmly, "Sorry to trouble you, Miss Su" he express utmost gratitude towards Su Miou Lin.
His deep gaze makes her heart flutter "Don't mention it" Su Miou Lin's cheeks were red as a ripe apple.
"Thank you, I won't bother you any further, enjoy the rest of your day" Jin Kai bid farewell, from the first time he arrived till the end he didn't glance at the other girls except Jin Hua but no one felt offended by him because Jin Kai was known to be an arrogant and cold man so he rarely paid attention to others if it's not necessary.
Jin Hua watches Jin Kai return as he walks away, he wonders what he wants to meet with the Fifth elder and why the fFfth elder is avoiding him, does he know something? Jin Hua thought he needed to find the Fifth elder as soon as possible but the old man never stayed in one place, he used to roamed outside the Misty Lake territory to find rare materials to make weapons, even though he was not an armament master he had recruited some talented armament master to make a weapon that he likes.
That's why no one knows when or where the Fifth elder comes and goes but the old man still visits his beloved granddaughter from time to time and he only listens to Su Miou Lin so it's no wonder Jin Kai would come to the young girl even though Jin Kai looks Kind and gentle towards Su Miou Lin, Jin Hua was sure Jin Kai's pride must be hurt whenever he asked a weak young girl like Su Miou Lin just to meet the fifth elder but it also showed how much Jin Kai needed the old Fifth and the question is 'why? '
Immersed in her own thoughts Jin Hua didn't realize she had been staring at Jin Kai until the man left and it prick Su Miou Lin's emotions, "Stop staring at him, he's gone!" Su Miou Lin chide her.
"Miss Xiou, I hope you don't have any strange ideas about the first Master!" another girl reprimanded Jin Hua loudly to gain Su Miou Lin's favor since she is the fifth elder granddaughter.
The other girl didn't want to lose either so she chimed in, "Yes, Can you see Master Jin Kai really likes Miss Su, you better not do anything stupid!"
Jin Hua was startled she turned her head and saw Su Miou Lin's possessive eyes, Jin Hua struggled not to roll her eyes. Jin Hua doesn't know what's so good about Jin Kai other than his looks, can anyone see how obnoxious he is? But then again she shouldn't have high hopes for these bunch of gullible young girls.
Unfortunately, Jin Hua still had a mission to complete therefore she had to quickly salvage the situation. "No, I'm just surprised to meet the first master for the first time, and I think the first master matches Miss Su very well, you two remind me of the celestial couple I read about when I was little that's why I was in a daze..." Jin Hua cupped her face was shy then she looked at them with an apologetic look "Sorry, I made you all worry"
Jin Hua's sincerity reflected in his eyes made the girls believe in him, of course, compared to those who lived under the protection of their parents, they were not comparable to the intelligent Jin Hua, they were practically an empty space compared to Jin Hua who was struggling to survive. lived with little protection and evolved into the woman she is today.
"Well… that's good, you understand," Su Miou Lin was embarrassed to accuse Ji Hua beforehand.
"It's nothing, it means that first master is very important to you" Jin Hua teased him a little.
Su Miou Lin's face turned red she pursed her lips pretending to be angry "Stop teasing me like that!"
Jin Hua and the other girls stifled laughter, and just like that Jin Hua managed to turn the situation back to her favor again, she breathed a sigh of relief she managed to erase Su Miou Lin's jealousy, after all, there is nothing worse than being accused of having an affair with your own half-brother, even though they don't know her identity it still makes Jin Hua uncomfortable.
