“Your father, your grandfather, and I thought that Qingze was too far from home and there was no one we knew there to take care of you, so we didn’t want you to go.”
Lin Wan gave her daughter a reproachful look and explained gently.
"So now...?" Bei Yan blinked his bright black eyes and looked at his mother.
"Your brother has already told your father and grandfather the whole story of how you almost fainted in the palace last night."
We all believe that Qingze Academy is the premier academy in Qianchen, and it will be more helpful to your future soul power cultivation than any other academy.
So you really have the heart to send a poor little girl like me?
Bei Yan blinked her bright black eyes, her pink and tender little face wrinkled, looking pitiful and aggrieved.
Bei Hong was amused by his granddaughter's appearance and laughed heartily, stroking his beard. "Is Little Yan'er scared?"
“Yan’er isn’t scared at all,” Bei Yan immediately retorted.
"Alright, after breakfast, Grandpa will take you to Elder Gu's place for a visit."
Bei Hong patted his granddaughter's head, his old face filled with relief. More than anyone else, he was reluctant to let his granddaughter go to such a faraway place.
But there was nothing they could do; their granddaughter's soul power could only be properly nurtured and improved with resources like those at Qingze Academy.
"Little sister, don't worry, I have a few friends in Qingze. I'll have them take good care of you and make sure no one bullies you."
Tell me, and I'll rush from our academy to Qingze right away to avenge you.
Bei Yifeng patted his chest, making a confident statement. Bei Yifeng was studying at Tengfei Academy in Beijing.
Tengfei Academy is the best academy in Qianchen Kingdom, second only to Qingze Academy.
"You brat, behave yourself and stop spouting nonsense." Bei Xiaohao slapped Bei Yifeng on the back of the head without any politeness.
Bei Yifeng clutched the back of her head and wailed dramatically, "Dad, can you please stop hitting me? I'm all grown up now. Honestly, is it wrong for me to protect my sister?"
Bei Yifeng is twelve years old this year, an age when he should be very concerned about his reputation. Being scolded by his father in front of so many people made him feel extremely ashamed.
Seeing his older brother's expression, Bei Yan covered his mouth and chuckled. Lin Wan smiled and pursed her lips. Even the usually serious Bei Xiao smiled slightly. The atmosphere at the table immediately became cheerful.
After breakfast, the entire Bei family took a horse-drawn carriage to the post station where the antiques were staying.
Upon hearing that it was someone from the Bei family, Gu Dong immediately thought of Bei Yan. Overjoyed, he jumped up from his rocking chair and strode towards the reception room.
As soon as Gu Dong entered the reception room, he saw the entire Bei family sitting there. Gu Dong immediately spotted a little girl with a pair of dark eyes that were darting around.
"Duke Jin, Duke Jin, what a rare guest!"
Although the antique was old, its movements were still fluid and graceful due to its extremely high soul power.
As the Grand Elder of the First Academy of Qianchen Kingdom, even the Emperor would give him some face, yet now he is treating Bei Hong and Bei Xiao with such humility.
It seems that he truly values his granddaughter. Bei Hong can finally breathe a sigh of relief. If Gu Dong values Yan'er so much, then Yan'er won't suffer any injustices in Qing Ze's place.
"Elder Gu, we have come here today to discuss Yan'er's trip to Qingze. Yan'er has already told us that we agree to her going to Qingze."
