Chapter 50 – Stay away from my granddaughter!



Chapter 50 – Stay away from my granddaughter!

"Awake?"

A gruff voice suddenly broke the silence.

Lin Jichen turned his head to see an elderly man with white hair but no beard.

Though the old man was advanced in years, his spirit was vigorous as he sat in a chair, quietly observing him.

Lin Jichen sensed an aura from him that was no less powerful than that of Elder Tianqing and Elder Tianjian, and quickly stood up to pay his respects.

"Thank you for saving my life, senior. I am Lin Jichen, a disciple of the Tianyan Sword Sect. May I know your esteemed name? I will never forget your kindness."

"My name is Tianyuan, with the surname Nangong, and a single name Yuan. I am Nangong Yue's grandfather," the old man replied generously.

Lin Jichen was slightly surprised; he hadn't expected this old man to be Nangong Yue's grandfather.

Anyone with the title 'Tian' in their name was a grand elder of the Tianyan Sword Sect.

Like Elder Tianjian, whose name was Yuan Gangjian, and Elder Tianqing, whose name was Feng Ruqing.

In short, these elders with the 'Tian' title were all significant figures.

"Greetings, Elder. I will forever remember your life-saving grace!" Lin Jichen said earnestly.

Elder Tianyuan chuckled, his tone turning peculiar.

"I don't need you to remember any grace. Just remember one thing."

Lin Jichen felt a bit strange but still asked, "What is it?"

"Stay away from my granddaughter!"

Lin Jichen: "....."

"I'm warning you, if you dare to have any designs on my granddaughter, I won't let you off, even if you are the Sect Master's disciple."

Lin Jichen smiled wryly, no wonder this old man was so hostile.

Facing the grand elder's threat, Lin Jichen could only obediently agree for now.

"Disciple..."

"Grandfather! You promised Yue'er you wouldn't say anything, how can you not keep your word?"

A familiar figure rushed into the room, scolding and complaining to Elder Tianyuan who was sitting on the chair.

The dignified grand elder of the Sword Sect didn't dare to lose his temper, instead, he smiled awkwardly to appease her.

"Grandfather was just joking with him. This young man is quite good, and he saved you. How could grandfather not understand proper manners?"

Only then did Nangong Yue seem satisfied, and she bounced over to Lin Jichen.

"Junior brother, how are your injuries?"

Lin Jichen was about to say something a bit mushy, but a glance at Elder Tianyuan's piercing gaze made him quickly abandon the idea.

"Thanks to senior sister's concern, I am fine now."

"That's good. You were unconscious from the Yin Sha entering your body, so I carried you back and asked grandfather to heal you. If we had been a bit later, the Yin Sha would have invaded your organs and dantian, and it would have been troublesome."

Nangong Yue said proudly, her beautiful eyes fixed on Lin Jichen with deep affection.

"Thank you, senior sister. I am deeply grateful for saving my life," Lin Jichen said.

"Why are you being so formal? Do we need to be so distant with each other?" Nangong Yue smiled and chided.

"Hehe, that's true."

As soon as Lin Jichen finished speaking, he felt a chill down his spine, seeing Elder Tianyuan's gaze becoming even more terrifying.

"Actually, I should be the one thanking you. If you hadn't risked your life to jump into the well to find the antidote for the charm insects, I would have been in grave danger. And I even misunderstood you at that time. Junior brother, I apologize. You are truly a gentleman!"

Nangong Yue's words made Elder Tianyuan's forehead veins pop out.

Especially seeing his granddaughter looking at Lin Jichen with such loving eyes, he thought, "It's over, the cabbage I've raised for so many years is being eyed by a pig."

Lin Jichen also felt a bit strange because even a fool could see the affection in Nangong Yue's eyes.

It was just like the gaze of a girl in her first love looking at her sweetheart.

He was puzzled as to why Nangong Yue would look at him like that. Although her affection level was 32, which wasn't low, it shouldn't be enough to show such deep feelings.

Previously, Nangong Yue's affection level for him had reached 92, but Lin Jichen knew that was only temporary.

Suspicious, he checked Nangong Yue's current affection level for him and was shocked!

[Ding! Nangong Yue's current affection level for you: 62 points (Mutual Affection)]

What the heck!

How did her affection level suddenly increase by 30 points?

It's known that the higher the affection level, the harder it is to increase.

This sudden jump of 30 points was truly unexpected for Lin Jichen.

If he hadn't seen that Nangong Yue had returned to normal, he would have thought the charm insects were still in her body.

It seemed that his selfless act of saving her without taking advantage of her had completely moved Nangong Yue, which was why her affection level increased so much.

A blessing in disguise.

If Lin Jichen had called the Sect Master for help at that time, he definitely wouldn't have gained such high affection.

"Senior sister, there's no need to dwell on it. It's what a junior brother should do. After all, you are my senior sister," Lin Jichen said with a smile.

Nangong Yue pursed her lips and asked coquettishly, "So, would you go to such lengths for other senior sisters as well?"

As Nangong Yue's face got closer and her eyes sparkled mischievously, Lin Jichen's heart began to race.

Alright, he had to admit, even after two lifetimes, he was still a virgin...

He had dated Guo Jie for ten years without ever touching her body.

He lasted two years longer than Zeng Xiaoxian from "Love Apartment."

Every time Lin Jichen wanted to end his single status, Guo Jie would refuse, saying they could only take the next step after marriage.

Lin Jichen had thought Guo Jie was a traditional woman who valued chastity.

Who knew she was just using this to keep him hooked.

Later, he found out that Guo Jie not only cheated on him with his 'good brother' Xu Zikai but had countless boyfriends over those ten years.

Luckily, Lin Jichen never 'boarded the bus,' otherwise, he would have been thoroughly humiliated.

In hindsight, staying a virgin wasn't so bad.

At least he didn't feel disgusted like he had swallowed a fly, didn't have to worry about diseases, and felt no burden after breaking up with Guo Jie.

"Of course not, I only recognize you as my senior sister. I promise."

Lin Jichen said sincerely.

Nangong Yue's eyes immediately sparkled like a starry river.

His words, filled with subtle affection, seemed to flow through her heart, silently nourishing her, making her feel sweet and content.

"I also only recognize you as my junior brother, my little junior brother~"

As she spoke, Nangong Yue's cheeks flushed, her eyelashes fluttered, and she was so shy that she almost buried her head in her chest.

"Ahem! Ahem! Ahem!"

A series of heavy, warning coughs interrupted their thoughts.

"Is your grandfather's coughing that serious?" Lin Jichen joked.

Nangong Yue covered her mouth and giggled, "Yes, the old man isn't in good health. Just ignore him, a few more coughs and a nap will do him good."

Elder Tianyuan felt a twinge of heartache.

How can I sleep when I can't see your filial piety~~

"Since you're awake, you should leave now. I won't see you off," Elder Tianyuan said, his face stern as he began to shoo them away.

Before Lin Jichen could speak, Nangong Yue put her hands on her hips, looking displeased.

"Grandfather, how can you be like this? You're so rude. He saved my life, and you want to chase him away?"

Nangong Yue turned her head to comfort Lin Jichen.

"Junior brother, don't mind him. You can stay here as long as you want. If he dares to chase you away, I'll release all his spirit beasts!"

Elder Tianyuan: "...."

What a filial granddaughter who breaks through the heavens!
