Never Again 16 So Old But Still Scaring Other People!

Although a while has pa.s.sed since the young man Aki left, the room with silent occupied with the occasional fluttering sounds of breathing. Almost too sudden, the old man turned to Xi Rin with a bright smile, blinding the young girl in her grumpy mood.

Although... it probably isn't the good kind of "blinding".

Groaning, she asked, "What's it now?"

The old man just innocently fluttered his eyes as if he did not understand her. "What makes you think I'm up to something, hm?"

However, all the hair on her body raised up at his 'innocent' look. It was just simply too frightful!

Just imagine it. An old man, well into his 90s with a face full of wrinkle, fluttering his eyes at you! He is seriously batting his eyes at you!

You're an old man, don't scare other people like this ah!

With gooseb.u.mps all over, "If you want something, just say it!"

Seeing that his facade didn't work, the old man helplessly said, "Nothing escapes you does it, Little girl?"

Just who do you think you're going to fool with that look?!

However, it seemed like he didn't mind the weird look Xi Rin. He didn't beat around the bushes anymore and ask directly, "Girl, how would you like to inherit me?"

Inherit him? What would that exactly mean?

Almost as though reading her thought, "Girl, you gain fame and power beyond compare and that just the start of it. Strength like you've never imagined. Everyone would bow to you. Even the Emperor would have to give you face. So girl, what do you think?"

Although she can tell that the old man was being sincere, he sounds too much like a... scammer...

But she knew he was telling the truth. Although this old man might look happy-go-lucky, she has never overlooked the aura he exuded. Domineering and unruly like an Emperor, his aura alone was enough to make one's legs go weak and bow down willingly.

Except... she didn't know that this 'King' would be this desperate.

His eyes were watery, begging her to accept. Without a doubt, this old man would even get onto his knees if she rejects him.

And of course, she doesn't plan to do that. She's not dumb, and especially in a world like this, she needs as much strength as possible. Therefore this one offer is already so very beneficial to her.

However... that begging expression makes it just too tempting to tease.

And thinking of the ordeal that this old man made her go through in the Gla.s.s trial, she decided to repay a tooth for a tooth. Since he gave her so much trouble, it's about them she returns them!

Thus, she put her acting skills to use as her face changed into a look of irritation. And when the elder saw her expression, a flash of panic went through him.

When he was still alive, hundred of thousands wanted to curry favour with him. Begging him to even just spare them a single piece of advice. They offer treasures beyond value and he still wouldn't accept them as his disciple. Even if they have what other consider great talents, it's nothing in his eyes.

Now that he found a suitable heir, it's a weird one like her! Why can't she be like a normal kid?! What is this 'phone' and 'wifi' that she talks about???

He really wants to cry...

But there really is no one better than her. He really can't see through her at all. She has no cultivation but she definitely not a waste. Her personality is strange too. So indifferent and nonchalant about everything, but he knows that she's definitely a good kid. The Gla.s.s trial was more than enough proof.

Hence, he gritted his teeth and was about to beg on his knees when...

"Pffftttttt!!"

He looks up to see the girl's face red with laughter and instantly knew that he has been tricked.

Clutching her stomach, "Ha ha ha!!"

"You darn girl!" He yelled, his face red with anger and embarra.s.sment. Then, he rolled up his sleeves, intending to give the despicable girl a lesson.

However, the little girl just laughed even louder and ran away with the speed of lightning. Disappearing like the wind, her laughter still rings in the air, irking the old man even more.

But even so, the old man couldn't help but smile. He hasn't had such a happy day in a long time. And with this mischevious girl around, he feels like these happy days will only continue to be longer.

Thus, with a lighthearted smile, "Darn girl, if I catch you, you better watch out!"

Then he bolted after her with Xi Rin's laughter still ringing in the air.
