Brothers will always be Brothers

I raise my chopstick and start eating the dish on the table.

"It's delicious right? Wei Lian really an amazing cook" Grandpa Wei smiling seeing my delighted face. indeed the dish is really delicious rather than those starred hotels in my life.

"Aunty Lian food is the best" exclaimed Tang Ying beside Grandpa Wei.

"ha ha ha of course, here eat more" Grandpa Wei said while taking another dish to the little girl's bowl.

I also smiling seeing this sight. this warm atmosphere is something that he had long lost after all.

"By the way do you remember why you drowning before?" asked Grandpa Wei. before he didn't ask again because he saw Xue Xin condition isn't that good yet. but now as he already recovered Grandpa Wei asking him again as he's worrying a kid like him didn't back home for a long time.

"I'm tripped when I was drunk before" Xue Xin told the truth while smile wryly. although it's not him that does it, this body is his now and it was shameful for him to trip and causing himself almost dying. well, he is already dead though. but from Grandpa Wei perspective it must be seen like that.

"I see, do you know where's your way home? Grandpa will deliver you to your home later" nod Grandpa Wei as he asks him another question. Grandpa Wei really concerned about Xue Xin as he was the same age as her daughter. Grandpa Wei worried if he need to go back alone.

"I'm from Xue Clan Divine Scale City Grandpa Wei" answer Xue Xin after swallowing the food in his mouth. he looks straight to Grandpa Wei eyes to his reaction after he tells him his origin, anyhow he is infamous for years in Divine Scale City.

"Oh" Grandpa Wei a little bit surprised, as he thought that Xue Xin is someone from a village near White Jade City. Grandpa Wei found him near White Jade City so he never makes a link the boy in front of him with Xue Xin from that Xue Clan.

'Seems like Grandpa Wei know about my bad reputation from his reaction, no I mean the boy bad reputation not me' thought Xue Xin seeing this.

"Grandpa won't go to Divine Scale City in the meantime. how about you stay here 2-3 more day, let Grandpa finishing his business here. Divine Scale City from here quite far after all. fortunately, your Clan in Divine Scale City so we didn't stop by anywhere the way back" said Grandpa Wei after considering that they are from the same city, moreover the business in this city also almost done. Grandpa Wei originally comes to White Jade City to purchase some material and selling some merchandise here. this courtyard they stay here is something that clan built for their business here, that's why the family member that has the meal with Grandpa Wei only his granddaughter that close with him. as for his son, he is busy managing another matter.

"I will follow Grandpa Wei arrangement" nodded Xue Xin.

"Good then. since we finish our meal why don't you play with little Ying, Grandpa have some matter to take care of" said Grandpa Wei. coincidentally we finished our meal. though I cannot savor the food thoroughly as Grandpa Wei started the conversation with me.

"Little Ying go play with brother Xin" Grandpa Wei suggested her granddaughter.

"Un" the little girl nodded cheerfully. she must be happy getting a playmate.

"Let's go" the little girl pulling me outside. I can only sigh letting myself dragged by her.

After Xue Xin and Tang Ying left the room, Grandpa Wei also went to his study room.

Inside the room Grandpa Wei handling several documents that just sent to him before dinner.

He takes a blank parchment and writes several things before calling a servant to send them to Divine Scale City.

"Is it really alright letting young miss play with that kid ?" at this time a shadow emerged behind Grandpa Wei.

"Yeah...the boy different from what we heard" answer Grandpa Wei.

"Indeed. he didn't like a scum at all" said the shadow agreeing with Grandpa Wei.

"Moreover the boy's eyes radiate a light of confidence. unlike someone who has given up on himself" said Grandpa Wei.

"Maybe something was up in Xue Clan...or the boy change his attitude after this incident" Grandpa Wei talking further.

"If the boy didn't lie then the latter is the most likely happen to him" said the shadow.

"Ah indeed...if he didn't lie about the fact that he's tripped after drunk that is" Grandpa Wei agreed with the shadow as the rumor say the young master is like to drink every day.

"Then could you settle the matter here faster? my old friend must be already worried sick" Grandpa Wei looked at the shadow.

"I will go settle them now" The shadow flickered before vanishing from the place.

"Well he won't that worried maybe knowing the boy with me" muttered Grandpa Wei after the shadow left.

In the old day, Grandpa Wei is actually someone that close to the current Xue Clan Patriarch.

Both of them come from similarly well family.

Both of them attending the same academy. the only difference was Xue Clan Patriarch entering Martial Art Section as he was in Alchemist Section.

Both of them always together even when they are in a different section.

Both of them always adventuring and completing mission together. They become brothers after enduring so much hardship together.

When both of them graduate from the academy they come back to their own clan.

The Clan rise in status when both of became the head of their respected clan.

Unfortunately, because of the business of their own clan, both of them rarely met again.

The last time they met and drinking together was already several years ago.

After learning the boy is that old brother of his's grandson. even though they never met in these years, it's not they are in a bad relationship so he needs to attend the boy well even that grandson of his behaving badly.

He really never thought the boy he saves to be his old brother's grandson.

But to his surprise, the kid isn't that bad or more like quite good. so he didn't minds letting him playing with her beloved granddaughter.
