Chapter 922 - Sleepless Nights (1/2)

In another place in the mortal realm, a human and a dragon were locked in a silent staring match. One of them was blinking his big eyes every now and then while the other's eyelids were lowered halfway, hiding the slightly reddened eyes.

”You can look all you want. You still have to go back in the end.”

The child blinked his eyes again and then shook his head. ”No.”

Xin Lan rubbed his eyes and sighed. Whether it was in the mortal or the immortal realms, he was able to beat up everyone but Tian. Who would've thought that his downfall would actually come in the body of a four-year-old mortal child? If this got out, his reputation in the dragon realm would be destroyed.

He lowered his hand again and sat up, staring at the child blankly. He really didn't know what to do anymore. ”Xiao Yu, will you go back now?”

”No.” The child tightened his grab on Xin Lan's air and looked at him defiantly. He definitely wouldn't leave. His father had already threatened that he would send him away. If he didn't cling to his uncle Xin Lan, they would definitely be separated!

Xin Lan stared at him and contemplated not for the first time in all these years if cutting his hair would really be such a big problem. Anyway, he had never cared about his parents so who cared if it was given by them or not?

On the other hand, he felt that he looked better with his hair long. How was he supposed to find a real lover if he had to change his appearance just to make this child give up? A strong and confident man might be good but being handsome was also a requirement if you wanted to find somebody exquisite.

Seeing that he didn't answer, the child once again tried to climb onto the bed in the hope that Xin Lan had changed his mind. Unfortunately for him, he was picked up by the scruff of his neck and put down on the floor again.

”Don't even try it. You'll have to go to the Jian Yi Sect soon. If you can't sleep on your own, how will you fare over there?”

Hua Lin Yu looked at him with pitiful eyes and pursed his lips. He lightly tugged at Xin Lan's hair and once again tried to appeal to him. ”Then come with me? If the Jian Yi Sect is as great as father said, you'll like it.”

Xin Lan reached out and nudged the child's forehead. ”What do you not understand? I'm not human. I have no business being in a human sect at all. Now, let go. You're almost five. It's time to grow up.”
