"Yes, Xiao Xiao, we just found out that your grandpa is seriously ill. Your uncle and I must take a trip back," explained Mrs. Cheng.
Luo JunHao nodded and said, "That's right. I just received a letter from home. The source is reliable."
"Seriously ill?"
Cheng Xiao Xiao wasn't too fond of her grandparents, but they were, after all, her mother's parents. She thought about it for a bit and asked, "Did something happen? Grandma had only been here for a couple of weeks. How did he get seriously ill all of a sudden? Did something else happen?"
"Xiao Xiao has a point there."
Luo JunHao's expression changed and he said to Mrs. Cheng, "Second sister, dad was fine when mom left. Plus he's a martial spiritualist right now. He couldn't have just gotten sick all of a sudden. Something must be going on. I must head back right away."
"Oh! Could it be possible that someone had..."
"One way or another, I must head back as quickly as possible. Second sister, I won't bring mom with me. I will go back by myself."
"Okay, you hurry back and find out what is wrong with dad."
"I'll take off right away. You let mom know, Second Sister. Hopefully it's not something serious."
He turned around immediately as soon as he was done talking.
"Uncle!" Cheng Xiao Xiao stopped the man who was on his way out.
Luo JunHao stopped and gave her a dubious look. "Something's the matter, Xiao Xiao?"
"Uncle, if something is going on in City of Yan, you might need some extra help. Just in case someone was targeting the Luo's on purpose, you wouldn't want to be by yourself. Why don't you take big sister Zixuan and an elder with you? Better safe than sorry."
"Xiao Xiao is right, little brother. Take Zixuan and an elder with you. Just in case." Mrs. Cheng immediately agreed with her daughter's suggestion.
Luo JunHao thought about it for a bit and saw the rationality behind it. "Okay. I guess it wouldn't be back to have extra help should something happens."
"Uncle can pick whichever elder you want to accompany you. They won't decline you," said Cheng Xiao Xiao softly.
"Got it!" Luo JunHao had a look of appreciation on him before he left the room.
"It's faster if you travel by mystical cranes!"
"Okay!"
Watching her uncle walked away, Cheng Xiao Xiao felt that something wasn't right here. When she turned and saw the worried look on her mother, she comforted her. "Don't worry, Mom. It will be fine. Uncle will be able to handle what is going on."
"Your grandpa is in City of Yan by himself. I worry for him..."
"It's alright, Mom. Don't overthink it. We don't know what is going on yet. What you need to do now is to keep grandma company, so she won't stress over it."
"Right. Let me go check on her."
Watching her mother left in a hurry, Cheng Xiao Xiao couldn't help but sighed and said to herself, "One way or another, let me go have Abacus take a look and see if that old man Luo will be going to see the Lord of Hell anytime soon!"
