"Don\'t look at me like that." Jin Rou chuckled and said, "I\'m just saying the truth. So why the need for that glaring?"

Truth be told, Jin Rou was actually being a little bit uncomfortable with how Syni Su glaring at him. It was like a thousand thorns were poking him all over his body and giving him goosebumps. That\'s why he wanted the girl to stop looking him that way.

"Hmph." Fortunately, Syni Su snorted with a hmp sound and turned her head away, with her arms crossed on her chest, "It was your fault to begin with."

If it\'s just anyone that had told her that, she would instantly ignore it and in fact, berated the other party. However, the other party right now was Jin Rou and for some reason, she had a soft spot for the guy.

"Yeah, yeah. It\'s my fault." Jin Rou acquiesced and smiled, "I\'m sorry, okay?"

Syni Su looked at him by the side eye with a pout. Then again, she created a \'hmp\' snorting sound once again and turned away more.

It turned out that what Jin Rou was doing wasn\'t enough yet. But Jin Rou could only shrug his shoulders in helplessness with parting words, "I guess it can\'t be helped then. I\'ll be leaving you here since I need to meet grandma and grandpa inside."

He turned around without looking back and clutched the door knob and entered.

Hearing and seeing Jin Rou actually entered the library, Syni Su couldn\'t help but grit her teeth in frustration. Her usual calm and mild temperament could no longer be seen. She wanted to say something to the guy but the concerned party was no longer in her presence.

"Jin, you!!" Syni Su wanted to curse him and his ancestors. But he knew that it wasn\'t the right thing to do. She might be scolded by her parents if she did so. Currently, all she could do was breathe in and out to calm her raging heart. After stabilizing herself, she entered the library as well.

"My Jin\'er, welcome back." Yanlu Rou greeted her grandson and signed him to sit beside her.

"Thank you, grandma." Jin Rou smiled and looked at his grandfather, Lao Rou, "I\'m back, grandpa."

Lao Rou nodded while smiling at Jin Rou in return.

"Wow, Jin has grown matured and very handsome." Keisa Su couldn\'t help but reveal her surprise. The last time she saw Jin Rou was when he was still a child. Now that Jin Rou was almost 16, the mature genes were finally getting into Jin Rou.

Even at her level, she never had seen a man with this exaggerated handsomeness! Not to mention her, even her husband Shila Su was shocked to his core.

Was it really possible to have a so handsome son like him?

"You\'re praising me too much, Lady Keisa." Jin Rou shook his head and said.

"Praising you too much?" Keisa Su laughed, "I never praised someone baseless."

Jin Rou smiled and answered that, "Thank you for the praise, Lady Keisa."

"Well, Jin\'er. Since you\'re already here, I assumed that you have completed the task I gave you?" Yanlu Rou asked.

"Of course, grandma." Jin Rou laughed, "I wouldn\'t be here if I don\'t. My pride can\'t take it."

"Good, very good." Yanlu Rou praised Jin Rou, "As expected of my grandson, you really don\'t fail me ever."

"Looks like you decided to use that, Lady Yanlu." Shila Su could connect the dots and said. But he understood it too. After all, that item could really be of great help.

"Yes." Yanlu Rou sighed, "We don\'t have a choice, either. It\'s better to be ready than regret it later on."

Yanlu Rou was the type of person who would love to look down on everyone but actually wary and cautious of everything. She always wanted to achieve victory in a landslide manner most of the time. That\'s why she was preparing everything she could for the upcoming fight against the devils.

"Indeed." Keisa Su was also aware of that item and agreed with Yanlu Rou, "Even if I were in your position, I will do the same too."

"Cluck." The door opened suddenly and revealed the not-in-the-mood Syni Su and sat down beside her family while looking at Jin Rou with angry eyes.

Jin Rou just smiled weakly and ignored the glare of daggers coming from a certain someone.

.

"…?" Everyone could feel something was weird and they couldn\'t help but look at both Jin Rou and Syni Su. But since it looked like no one wanted to say something about what happened, they just let it slide.

It was the problem of the youths after all. Let them solve it themselves.

Then, they returned to the main topic and discussed about the plans and back up plans of the family. The core, foundation, and whatnot. Since the Su Family was here, they decided to help the Rou Family defeat the enemies. And with the interference of the Su Family, the plans were tweaked a little bit.

After an hour, the discussion ended and the Su husband and wife decided to read something at the library while their daughter was still sitting on the chair with an angry eyes looking at Jin Rou.

Yanlu Rou could see this and her head ache quite a bit. She then said rubbed her temples and said to Jin Rou, "Jin\'er, why don\'t you tour Syni\'er to the Ancestral Grounds? I have something for you to get there also."

"But I can—" Jin Rou wanted to say \'I can do it alone\' but when he sensed the intense glare coming from his grandmother, he gulped and sighed, "Okay okay."

"Good." Yanlu Rou smiled in satisfaction. She wanted the two to get along well, so she needed to push Jin Rou to take care of Syni Su. After all, they would get married in the future and Jin Rou was the very core of this matter, "Then I want you to get me two Blue-saint Flowers on the Ancestral Grounds, you can return anytime you want. It\'s not like we are in a hurry. So take your time."
