Before Aqila pulled the reins, To Mu and Annchi paused for a moment.
"sorry Miss Aqila we both can't take you to the Lin Bao residence, uncle must have been waiting for our arrival"
To Mu spoke politely so as not to offend the girl, he did not want to be considered an ungrateful person.
"no problem"
Aqila replied indifferently, she seemed to not care at all about what the young man thought.
"once again we apologize miss and thank you for allowing us to join you on your journey, we will meet again here later if you need help please do not hesitate to contact us, we are both ready to help as much as possible"
Say To Mu again before they part to their respective destinations.
"hm"
"meet you all"
Annchi and To Mu lowered their heads for a while as a sign of farewell.
"me see you"
said Lila and Lin Shan while Aqila no longer spoke.
after that, the two groups continued their journey in different directions.
along the way Lin Bao chattered ria, although Aqila rarely responded to him but the boy looked very happy.
the closeness of the two became the center of attention of everyone who passed by the group.
who does not know the identity of the boy who was with Aqila.
Lin Bao, he was the son of general Lin zhang of the bingjie kingdom.
after almost an hour on the way they all arrived at a large, ancient carved building that looked very well preserved.
their arrival was welcomed by a pair of humans who had been waiting since before in front of the gate of the residence.
Aqila descended first only then lowered Lin Bao carefully.
the pair of humans continued to pay attention to the interaction of the two that looked very familiar.
"thank you for dropping off our granddaughter I can tell you what your name is miss"
said an old man who still looked fit, as Aqila and Lin Bao were already in front of him.
"Aqila"
Aqila mentioned her name flatly regardless of Padang the two people were concerned about her attitude.
"thank you Miss Aqila, sorry to trouble you"
a middle-aged woman interrupted the conversation she looked not angry at all with Aqila's cold demeanor.
it could be guessed that she was the great mistress of the Lin residence.
Lila and Lin Shan were confused by the interaction, again they were just spectators.
"no problem"
"let's go in, lady, the air's getting colder, let's just say it's your own house"
the middle-aged woman spoke kindly as if she liked the character of Aqila even though she had only met for the first time.
"no thanks I have to go"
Aqila rejected the subtle invitation she did not want to get involved too far with the people from the bingjie kingdom
"beautiful sister is going where, can you accompany me longer here I am lonely"
Lin Bao whined as he continued to shake Aqila's hand to and fro.
"sister still has business"
Aqila tried to give the boy some understanding to let him go.
"please"
instead of letting go of Lin Bao the more he acted he was about to cry, Aqila became completely wrong to see him.
this was the first time Aqila had faced the attitude of a little child she was unfamiliar with.
"Lin Bao you mustn't be like that, don't bother Miss Aqila pity her"
said the middle-aged woman trying to persuade the grandson.
"All the hyxes of your hyxes are evil hyxes"
Lin Bao cried loudly because his desire was not followed, Aqila so did not have the heart to see it all.
"stop crying or I'll go"
"no I'm not crying"
Lin Bao directly wiped his tears and snot with both hands then smiled sweetly towards Aqila.
"good boy"
Aqila gently stroked Lin Bao's head making the child excited instead of playing.
"let's go in"
the big madam again invited Aqila and the others to enter the residence.
after everyone stepped into the Lin residence, Lin Bao continued to cling to Aqila.
Lila and Lin Shan could only resignedly follow the girl's wishes they did not dare to refute.
it was late at night when Aqila, Lila and Lin Shan were escorted to one of the residences to rest.
after cleaning himself the three were called to dinner together and by chance General Lin zhang returned from the palace.
in the main dining room everyone had gathered including aqila, Lin bao unceasingly invited the girl to speak.
Aqila who seemed quiet was forced to talk a lot to answer every question that Lin Bao asked her.
the big madam and her husband could only shake their heads at her granddaughter's behavior.
tap tap tap
the sound of footsteps could be heard from outside the door everyone turned their heads towards the source of the voice except Aqila, the girl did not budge from her place at all.
"huh, you're finally here too"
"come here, we're having guests you're late"
"sorry"
a handsome burly man stepped in closer towards them leisurely.
each step implies a firmness that is able to make people think twice to tease him.
the man looked straight at Aqila's back curious about the figure.
and in the end the sight of the two of them meeting each other Lin Shan who was looking at it all felt a little upset in his heart.
"introduce misshe is my only son Lin zhang, the father of Lin Bao"
big madam Wang introduced the young man to aqila.
"Aqila"
aqila replied as usual flat and indifferent, subconsciously the attitude managed to attract the attention of Lin Zhang who was notoriously stiff and untouchable.
"greetings"
Lin Zhang gave a greeting as a sign of introduction
"hm"
Aqila still answered flatly, staring at the handsome young man.
silence was no longer a conversation everyone was staring cengo at the two people except for Lin Shan who looked ordinary.
"you guys are very compatible with both irit talk"
chirped Lin Bao in a typical little boy voice then chuckled to himself as if it was a very funny thing.
Aqila and Lin zhang looked towards Lin Bao simultaneously with equally flat faces.
the two old men who were there thought about what his grandson had just said.
Lin zhang threw his face the other way when he noticed the different gazes to his two parents.
while Aqila looked relaxed as if she was unaffected by Lin Bao's words just now.
"because everyone's gathered dinner can start"
said big master Lin in a firm and authoritative voice.
even though he had retired from his post but still the aura released was not playful.
after that everyone started to enjoy the dinner quietly except for Lin Bao who was always babbling with his mouth full of food.
they occasionally stared anxiously at the little boy.
the night is getting late everyone has returned to their respective homes to rest unwind towards dreamland.
