Chapter 925 - Comforting the Child (1/2)

Hua Lin Rong who had gone back to his room to cultivate after solving the trouble of his missing younger brother was interrupted by the opening of the door. Before he could even get up from the meditation platform, the steps of a person arrived in front of him, and the crying of his dear baby brother shocked his ears.

Hua Lin Rong shot to his feet and rushed over, trying to take his brother from Xin Lan to see what was wrong. Unfortunately, the child wasn't even thinking of letting go of his favorite uncle. He still hugged his neck, his little hands curled into the silver strands of Xin Lan's hair.

Hua Lin Rong felt distressed. ”What happened to him?!”

Xin Lan furrowed his brows when the older brother also started to make a fuss and tried to take the child off again without success. ”How would I know? He suddenly started crying and didn't want to let go.”

”But wasn't he still alright a few hours ago?!” This couldn't be right. He had checked on them before and they had both been sleeping soundly. Most likely, it hadn't even been long since they woke up. He didn't believe that his little brother would just start crying like this without reason. No, there had to be more to this! ”Did you say something? Or maybe you did something that could have upset him?”

Xin Lan pursed his lips in a straight line and refused to talk. Anyway, wasn't it obvious what had gone wrong with this brat again? Obviously, he was unwilling to go to that damned Jian Yi Sect. It had been like this since the day his father mentioned it.

Hua Lin Rong naturally wasn't convinced by this silent rebuttal. ”How could that be? Xiao Yu was never like this. He wouldn't throw a tantrum out of nowhere.” He had already completely forgotten about how his brother would habitually start to cry when he had been little without them being able to ever find the reason for that. Anyway, by now, his little brother was an angel. Obviously, Xin Lan must've done something wrong for him to react like this.

”Xiao Yu, ah. Why don't you tell big brother what is wrong? Big brother try to help you!”

Hua Lin Yu stopped crying as loudly and only sniffled a bit, turning to glance at his brother.

Hua Lin Rong immediately became hopeful. As expected, his little brother would still rely on him! ”What is it, ah? Just tell big brother!”

Hua Lin Yu's face was still scrunched up and he turned to Xin Lan again, rubbing his head on his shoulder. After a moment, he sniffed again, glancing at his face.

Xin Lan blankly stared ahead, trying not to acknowledge this child at all. If he gave in again and again, he would never get rid of this brat! If he had already turned into a young man and preferably beauty, it wouldn't be as bad. But he really didn't want to deal with a child right now.

He really, really hated whining children. Weren't they just behaving like this to get attention? Well, then that attention definitely shouldn't be given. That would teach them not to try it again.

He couldn't help but remember the way his Master always acted when Jin Ling threw a tantrum while he was still young. That pained gaze he used to look at him and the way he would stoop down and pull him into his arms, giving him a hug and then talking and talking until his mouth was dry so that this little darling of his would not be sad anymore.
