The Next Defender

Royals were reluctant because it might go against their interests.

Xuan Rong had to change his strict ideas if not he had to restrict her in future.

He was in dilemma now.

Sponsors were thinking that since she had defeated third grade, she secured her position in the Intermediate Contemplation Battles, she could take part in the top ranking and Extreme Level Contemplation Battles which would held after five years.

She was not only granddaughter of Lord Defender but also fearsome cultivator of contemplation. She bowed toward her grandpa and asked, "Did Jen Xuan Rong go against the aspiration of Defender Xuan Rong? If so I seek your pardon."

She spoke her full name first time to let her grandpa know that she could polish and tell others that she belonged to Defender Xuan Rong blood and would show that she was worthy to be called his descendant, "No, you did not, in fact not bad on your part," he shoot brief glance on this eighteen years of age granddaughter of his and slight smile appeared with satisfaction of her reaction, indeed she behaved like mature learner through her manners too.

He was Lord Defender and if he had put any reaction against young Royal it would have sully his reputation, but Jen was allowed due to her self-conscious attitude and she proved that she was not tranquil mark.

..........

Jen and her grandpa came back to Defender Hacienda; she brought back Qi Jian and Creek too. "But I wanted to explore Contemplation world," she was firm when she said.

"I also wanted you to become Legend and I am here to guide you, then why are you persistent to go out, it's dangerous to explore Celestial Sphere Alone," he said with reluctance, he was anxious over her decision to go out and learn for five years alone, he was concerned about her security.

Though many feared Lord Defender but there were much more who were waiting for any opportunity to harm him, and now he was concerned for his granddaughter.

She knew that her great grandfather wished to make her next Lord Defender but knew it very well, if she lived in the protection of her great grandfather, she might become Legend but a Legend without sufficient experience was useless existence.

"Grandpa if I cannot face small dangers, how can you suppose that I will be a good defender in future?" in her terms she shoot best projectile to convince him thus she persuaded him. "I have solution for that too, I will betroth you with another Legend and he would protect you and your standing too," he was confident in solution of this predicament.

"Grandpa you are naive, how could you possibly think that a stranger would protect your granddaughter and her standing, would not he wish that standing for himself?" her logic was acute, if one vied something for himself why would one present it someone else?

He never thought this simple logic, he was little uncomfortable to hear her blatant logic but it was dire too.


"Then there are only five years what would you do in these five years and how on earth you would learn Contemplation?" his head was messed with lots of thoughts, he was really looking naive in front of his granddaughter that's why he did not mind her words.

He grasped his head with this new problem; he thought why his heir was girl? He was thinking too many things restlessly; he shook his head and exhaled breath.

He never felt helpless in previous years.

"Grandpa, I did not witness mother love and never met the opportunity to treasure fatherly affection and now it seems to me that I am burden for you," her eyes were wet, she said what she felt by his actions, she was saddened, she thought it was great thing to have great grandfather but from the aspects her grandpa felt she was burden, how could she ignore his behavior.

She never burdened herself to others yet her grandpa acted that he was not happy to have his grandchild. She could not hold it and wept.
