Chapter 145: "Poisonous Concern"
Chapter 145: "Poisonous Concern"
Grandpa Yofan was truly in a pinch.
After all, before any successful attempt, they were just playing with fire. If Grandpa Yofan insisted on his decision…
He might as well resign from his position!
Someone who dared to place their family in the face of unknown danger even when knowing she might get hurt couldn't possibly be a loyal one.
Listening to all the crowds' suggestions, Grandpa Yofan's face crumpled. He understood fully well that these people didn't want him to risk Ainsley's life.
They had a noble intention, but since they didn't know the truth and wouldn't easily believe it either, they became a stumbling block in their way instead.
Damn it! Damn!
Grandpa Yofan clenched his teeth. He hesitated to let Ainsley display her ability to tame Cellino. Once she allowed her to do that, his own position would be threatened.
Without his position as the supreme elder, how would he protect Ainsley in the future?
Even if Ain might have the sacred beast's protection, in terms of politics, she still needed a supreme elder to back her up!
What to do?
Seeing Yofan's dark face, Ainsley immediately realised what's going on. The baby's face instantly flushed red. Steams rose from her head. Her body shook hard and her fists were clenched tight.
Damn those people. They want to suppress my grandpa? They want to make a hole for him so that he can't let me demonstrate whatever I want to do?!
Ainsley gritted her teeth. She immediately wanted to curse the crowds' 18 ancestors, but...she held back.
These people...they're not evil. They're just ignorant.
Ainsley shook her head. She couldn't just blame these people since they're truly concerned about her. Only those from the four branch families didn't have the same pure intention with these people…
Ainsley pondered for a bit as she peeked at the crowds.
Should I do my bluffing now? But that might harm some innocent one...
Ainsley hasn't made a decision when someone from the branch family abruptly shouted,
"Right! We should keep the sacred guardian away from the family head! That way, the sinner can't manipulate that beast to harm our family head!"
Whoever said that might try to sound righteous but in Ainsley's ears…
It was a blatant provocation.
The baby was so shocked that she almost wanted to pee on that person's face.
The heck? Now you want to snatch Cellino from me openly? Do you have no shame?! The others surely won't let you do that–
Ainsley made a mistake thinking that the innocent guests would disagree with that ambiguous person. The moment that person said his pieces, the others acted as if they just got enlightened.
"Indeed! That's a good idea!"
"Not bad. We can keep an eye on the sacred guardian or just return him to the prairie."
"Oh, yes, yes, that way, he can't harm our family head. The family head can just summon the beast back when she's older."
"Right, that's the safest idea."
"Or maybe we can entrust the beast to the branch families for a while? Their mansion is quite far from the main mansion." One of the bastard members slipped a few suggestions amid the discussion.
His words sounded logical, and a few other guests agreed with what this ambiguous person said.
Trusting the beast to the branch family sounds better than returning it to the prairie. After all, it's hard to summon a sacred guardian. One can just take advantage of this situation and take care of the beast for the family head's sake.
Once she's older, she can easily tame the beast if she spends a lot of time together with him. Of course, under everyone's monitoring.
The idea sounded plausible. Thus, the guests who didn't truly know the inside news around the branch families and the main family hurriedly agreed with the suggestion.
"Right, your excellency. We can entrust the sacred guardian to one of the branch families to keep an eye on him." One of the guests looked at Grandpa Yofan with genuine concern in his eyes.
"Not only we can prevent the beast from harming the family head, but we can also groom him until our family head grows up!" He added.
What he said was truly coming from his concern for Ainsley. The moment that baby went to the hall, he already helplessly cared for her.
If others could groom the beast and try to make it easier to tame, they could help the young family head to tame him later. That's akin to help her, right?
The guest's thought wasn't wrong, and Ainsley knew that. But the moment he agreed that they should entrust Cellino to the branch families, the baby erupted in rage.
"Nwo! Cwel ish mwine! He will nwot gwo anywhele! (No! Cell is mine! He will not go anywhere!)" Ainsley glared at that guest and harrumphed. The baby pouted to express her reluctance cutely.
She's sick of these people, but that one guest harboured pure concern for her. She couldn't just humiliate him.
Seeing the baby refused his suggestion, the guest could only smile bitterly.
"But milady, it's all for your sake. What if you get hurt? The sacred guardian is not a pet, okay?" The middle-aged guest tried to coax Ainsley. Having no child even when he's already 40, he couldn't help but want to spoil the girl.
"If milady wants a pet, we shall buy one. But the sacred guardian is not a pet…"
The guest didn't approach Ainsley in fear of intimidating her with his menacing presence, but the guest did try to look as kind as possible, even when from afar.
Ainsley suddenly didn't know whether to get mad or not.
Your concern is poisonous, ah!
