Chapter 628 - 302: Your Master Will Soon Have a Disciple’s Grandchild!

You Su felt secretly relieved, though the hour was late, he had managed to make it.

But as he entered the mountain, it wasn’t his junior sister or senior sister who welcomed him, but the mature and beautiful Third Elder.

"Third Elder!"

You Su smiled lightly in greeting, but felt a sense of oppression from the lady, an ominous feeling lurking in his heart.

"Hmm."

The Third Elder’s response was indeed a bit cold, reinforcing the suspicions You Su had harbored.

Clearly, over the recent period, his relationship with the Third Elder had improved significantly — not constantly met with a forced smile, at least there was no longer a situation with a stern face.

"Why is the Third Elder at Lotus Peak?"

"What, you’re not welcoming?" The Third Elder’s tone was slightly abrupt.

"Why wouldn’t I... Lotus Peak shines just because of your presence." You Su offered a compensatory smile.

"Humph!"

The Third Elder pretended to be angry, secretly glancing at You Su’s apprehensive face, "If I hadn’t come to Lotus Peak, I wouldn’t have known such a big thing happened here!"

You Su was a bit confused by what he heard, but his heart was in his throat, "May I ask Third Elder... what happened at Lotus Peak?"

"Your Lotus Peak is about to have a fifth person soon!" The Third Elder spoke with certainty.

You Su paled, "Is Master planning to take on a disciple again?"

"Ha! Yes, about to take on a grand-disciple!" The Third Elder replied coldly.

"A grand-disciple?" You Su was momentarily unable to comprehend, "Neither my junior sister nor senior sister has graduated, it’s impossible to take a disciple, where would the grand-disciple come from?"

"You’ve enlarged your junior sister’s belly, isn’t the child born the grand-disciple?"

This statement struck like a bolt from the blue, rendering You Su stunned where he stood, only feeling his heart skip a beat.

He staggered back a couple of steps but forced himself to remain steady. Of course, he didn’t believe something so serious was Third Elder trying to scare him deliberately; at this moment, his feelings were a complex conundrum.

The Third Elder saw her purpose had been achieved, then sighed deeply in a manufactured manner: "Sigh... young one, knowing no restraint, now regretting huh, go see her... Allow me to warn you, Lingruo is currently quite upset, anxious, and irritable, do not provoke her, try not to mention the child at first. Be nicer to her, soothe her emotions, understand?"

You Su furrowed his sword-like brows, his face unusually solemn, he nodded deeply, "Thank you, Third Elder."

As soon as he spoke, he deftly bypassed the Third Elder, walking straight into the small courtyard.

The Third Elder turned back to look at the decisive silhouette of the youth, a faint smile curved on her crimson lips.

She sighed lightly, thinking: Lingruo, oh Lingruo, the Third Elder can only help you this far. You two will be separating soon, better let the boy treat you a bit better.

You Su stood outside his junior sister’s room, his hand poised to knock hesitatingly.

This child came too suddenly, giving him no time to prepare.

He had no idea how to provide a wonderful future for his child, and completely no awareness of being a father.

Recalling the conversation with Tiao Yaoyao, he hadn’t expected it to come true. Suppressing the unease in his heart, he clenched his hand into a fist, suddenly feeling a boundless sense of responsibility.

The door creaked open, Ji Lingruo was seated on a chair reading a book, her slender and delicate feet unceremoniously propped on the dresser in front of her. Her toes under the sunset appeared like gleaming slices of orange, incredibly enticing.

"Senior Brother?!"

Ji Lingruo was quite delighted to see him, her face instantly lit up with joy, yet she habitually held onto her pride, acting casually and flipping through the book, her tone was as if it was just an ordinary day:

"Back already, huh."

"Hmm."

You Su responded softly and then took quick steps forward, immediately grasping the girl’s delicate ankle, startling the girl who then tossed the book aside.

"Wh-what are you doing..."

Ji Lingruo’s face turned as red as blood, attempting to break free from You Su’s grip, yet was helpless to do so.

Or rather, she hadn’t actually intended to break free at all...

She bowed her head and whispered in a voice like a buzzing mosquito:

"You just got back... what’s the rush... Senior Sister might come back any moment..."

The girl’s foot nudged against You Su’s chest intentionally or not, seemingly trying to push him away. Yet she was reclining backwards on the chair, making it clear she was already prepared to strike a pose like the open shutters...

You Su raised his sword-like eyebrow, secretly thinking his junior sister misunderstood him, hurriedly placing her foot back down and even putting her silk shoes on her to prevent her from catching a chill.

The girl’s exquisite foot was held in You Su’s hand, her heart felt both tickled and warmed, initially, she planned to grant him some indulgence for actually arriving on time. Yet, You Su didn’t continue playing with her small foot but helped put on her shoes instead?

"Junior sister, why are you idly propping your feet, it’s quite unseemly." You Su placed the girl’s foot properly and advised gently.

Of course, he didn’t stop Ji Lingruo due to thinking the action was unseemly, but because reclining with half the body was dangerous, especially for the child pressed inside his junior sister’s belly.

Ji Lingruo was unaware of You Su’s thoughts, feeling as if he had left her hanging when she had been ready to proceed, leading to a bit of melancholy:

"I’m in my own room, what does unbecoming have to do with it? You’re not in charge of me?"

The girl was speaking and intended to lift her leg again.

You Su quickly pressed it down again, patting her knee as a warning, secretly thinking his junior sister indeed was in a bad mood, quite rebellious.

But no matter what, the child is ultimately innocent...

"Hey, hasn’t junior sister always been a gentle and lovely young lady? Even at home, one shouldn’t do such unbecoming gestures."
