“I…” Lu Qingyan looked down at her hand holding the water glass, remained silent for a moment, and finally raised her head: “Grandpa, I guess I’m going to be on this special battlefield too.”
Grandpa Zhu gave a wry smile: "Sigh, I was thinking of leaving you here to do some non-dangerous things, but I didn't expect you to have your own ideas."
"Grandpa, where is the rest of the family?" Lu Qingyan finally realized the problem.
"Think about their status, they must be incredibly busy right now, how could they have time to keep an old man like me company?"
Lu Qingyan thought for a moment, then opened her backpack. A small orange kitten jumped out, and Lu Qingyan grabbed the little guy and held it up to Grandpa Zhu: "Grandpa, this is for you."
Of course, Lu Qingyan's backpack couldn't hold this little guy; it was obviously brought out from her spatial dimension. She didn't know which life she had lived, but she had given birth to a dying mother cat. Although she loved her, she didn't have time to care for her, so she put her in her spatial dimension. Surprisingly, the cat became pregnant and gave birth to kittens—two yellow and one white, all very cute.
Lu Qingyan might not be able to spend much time with the elderly, so she gave him a cat as a form of emotional support.
Although Grandpa Zhu appears to be a very serious person, he secretly has a great fondness for furry animals. It's just that because of his position, he has kept this hobby strictly hidden from others.
Because it grew up in an open environment, it is much smarter than other cats and can understand some simple human language.
Lu Qingyan placed it on Grandpa Zhu's lap, and Grandpa Zhu stiffened for a moment.
"Grandpa, from now on, it will stay with you in my place. I will definitely make time to come and see you again. The outside world is so chaotic now, I can't just live under your wing forever. I hope to become stronger, and I hope that one day I can protect you too."
"Good child." Old Master Zhu raised his head and forced back the tears in his eyes.
"Alright." He finally gave in: "Then you'll follow this kid from the Pan family from now on. He's experienced in combat and can give you pointers. Okay, go now. If you stay any longer, I'll feel uncomfortable."
But children will eventually have to leave home; they can't stay forever.
"Grandpa, I'll stay here with you a little longer. There's no rush." Lu Qingyan wanted to wait a bit longer; maybe someone from the family would come back.
"You're not in a hurry, but I am. Anyway, I'm used to being alone. Now you'd better get out of here."
Grandpa Zhu feigned anger and chased the man away: "Anyway, you'll be following the Pan family's son from now on, so go stay at his house for now. There are more guards at his house, so it's much safer than where your grandpa is."
Lu Qingyan glanced back at the familiar courtyard. The sycamore tree in the yard was in full bloom. Its lush green canopy proclaimed vibrant life, almost overwhelming, but in this environment, it seemed somewhat ironic.
Lu Qingyan lowered her head: "Grandpa doesn't want me to stay here."
“It’s alright, you can come to our house.” Pan Qingbai took Grandpa Zhu’s words to heart.
Lu Qingyan clutched her chest, confused, and said, "I always felt that Grandpa hadn't told me many things, but since he hadn't said them, I thought he definitely didn't want me to know, so I didn't ask."
Pan Qingbai ruffled Lu Qingyan's hair: "It's better not to know some things."
