Yoon-Min's heart was rapidly beating in his chest as if it wanted to burst through his ribcage that was trapping it.
At that moment, a figure suddenly appeared in the room next to Yoon-Min, which startled him even more. However, he quickly recognized the figure that appeared, and he didn't hesitate to grab the person's sleeve and then pointed at Ah Mieu on the bed as he shouted.
"Quick, grandfather, stop him!"
Both Grandpa Mo, who had just appeared, and Ah Mieu, who was sitting on the edge of the bed, looked at Yoon-Min with a strange expression.
Upon seeing the looks the two gave him, Yoon-Min paused, then finally recalled that his grandfather had actually been the one to let Ah Mieu into his room. This caused him to become dumbfounded.
Immediately, he turned and glared at his grandfather, his face full of grievance.
Grandpa Mo, who had just appeared, looked at his youngest grandson in confusion, not understanding why he was looking at him with such a wronged expression.
Gritting his teeth, Yoon-Min managed to calm himself down enough to force out a few scolding words.
"Grandfather, I, your grandson, will forever look down on you! How could you sell your precious grandson to the Nine Desires Pavilion?! I-I haven't even lost my yang essence yet, but you actually arranged for this demon to-to…"
Yoon-Min's lips trembled, and he could not finish his sentence. Meanwhile, Grandpa Mo's expression became even more confused.
"Little Min, what happened?"
Grandpa Mo asked as he looked at his youngest grandson, who seemed to have tears appearing in his eyes. He was beginning to get a bit worried.
Clenching his grandfather's sleeves, Yoon-Min pointed at Ah Mieu sitting on the edge of the bed and asked.
"Grandfather, tell me, why is this demon here? Are you really going to sell this grandson of yours to the Nine Desires Pavilion? I-I never agreed to this!"
At this point, Grandpa Mo seemed to have understood things a bit. He glanced at Ah Mieu on the bed, and then at his grandson's disheveled appearance. After forcing himself not to ask what had happened, he sent out a spiritual message to his grandson.
'Little Min, it seems you've heard of Young Master Nihil of the Nine Desires Pavilion. However, he has defected from the Nine Desires Pavilion and is no longer affiliated with them. He came here for personal reasons. He should have said something about that, right?'
Upon hearing his grandfather's spiritual message in his mind, Yoon-Min paused. Perhaps because he had been shocked by Ah Mieu's identity, he had momentarily forgotten the demon's words from before. With a furrowed brow, he sent a response to his grandfather.
However, unlike his grandfather's method of transmitting his voice through Divine Sense directly into his mind, he was not a Grandmaster of the Martial Path, nor was he a Foundation Realm cultivator who could awaken their Divine Sense. At least, he hadn't reached that level yet. So, he instead had to vibrate his vocal cords with his Internal Qi and then transmit the sound through the air using that Qi to his grandfather's ear.
'He said he came here for a collaboration, but can we really trust him? Who knows what he might be scheming?'
'Little Min, he seems to be sincere. After all, he did offer to repair your dantian and even give you a Divine Constitution. If he truly has such abilities, we should at least consider the possibility of cooperating with him. However, even if he is unable to give you a Divine Constitution, his status in the Nine Desires Pavilion was not low. They're second only to the Shadow Messenger Guild when it comes to intelligence gathering, so with his previous status, he should have obtained useful information on all the Clans and Sects in the Inner Circle, and perhaps even the Main Circle.'
Yoon-Min frowned, but he silently pondered his grandfather's words.
Grandpa Mo, seeing his grandson like this, did not disturb him. He had long stopped treating him like an ordinary child. After all, ever since he was little, he had always been extremely intelligent and wise for his age.
Grandpa Mo couldn't help but think back to when this grandson of his had been little and acted so precociously. He would fold his little arms behind his back and stroll through their Clan's private garden as if he were pondering the world's mysteries.
Grandpa Mo got a bit emotional as he stared at Yoon-Min at this moment.
'He's grown up so much…'
'Grandfather… Grandfather?'
Yoon-Min's repeated call brought Grandpa Mo out of his reminiscing.
'Hm?'
Seeing the slightly distracted look on his grandfather's face, Yoon-Min became annoyed.
'Grandfather, you're a powerful cultivator of the Nascent Soul Realm. Why do you keep acting so muddleheaded?'
Grandpa Mo forced a smile upon hearing this, but before he could speak, Yoon-Min said.
'Grandfather, I still think we should be cautious of him. After all, he's from the Nine Desires Pavilion. If we go by the rumors about that place, then they've definitely done something to him before allowing him to leave. I don't believe they would willingly give up the Heavenly Dao Cauldron Constitution. They might even be using him to get our Han Clan's bloodline!'
Upon hearing his grandson's warning, Grandpa Mo glanced at Ah Mieu. He was still patiently sitting by the bedside, swinging his feet back and forth while gazing up at the beams on the ceiling.
Thinking back on the information he obtained about this child, and seeing his actions now, the apprehension in Grandpa Mo's heart greatly diminished, while a feeling of pity fiercely arose in his heart.
'Little Min, I think you should become friends with him.'
"What?!"
Yoon-Min was so shocked by his grandfather's words that he inadvertently blurted out his words rather than using voice transmission.
The shout attracted Ah Mieu's attention but seeing that the two had not finished their discussion, he went back to swinging his feet and distracting himself by tracing the contours in the room.
'Grandfather, did you not hear what I just said? He might have ulterior motives by approaching us!'
Seeing that his grandson rejected his proposal so strongly, Grandpa Mo hesitated for a moment, then decided to express his thoughts.
'Little Min, I understand your concerns, but I believe he doesn't have any malicious intentions towards our Han Clan.'
Upon hearing this, Yoon-Min remained silent, but still pouted in displeasure.
Of course, he could tell that this Young Master Nihil didn't intend to cause problems for their Han Clan. He was just making up an excuse to get rid of him! What he was truly worried about was not their Han Clan being targeted by this demon, but his butt!
Thinking back on what just occurred, Yoon-Min's face unconsciously turned gloomy as he looked at Ah Mieu.
