47《old directories》

"Mom, I don't want to go to the Imperial City"

Shi La was stubbornly clutching her mother's pants tightly. Leina sighed and frowned.

"Shi La! Enough is enough! You're getting too much!"

The voice of Leina, who couldn't help but shout, echoed throughout the house. At that moment Vain entered the room. Seeing Shi La like this, he couldn't help but laugh, "What does this opportunist want again?"

Shi La turned around and said, "It's a shame, grandpa."

When Leina started scolding her again, Vain interrupted with a cough and said, "Leina, let it go. It looks like this brat has already decided to go in."

Leina looked at her father in surprise. Vain continued, "He should just be chasing to rip something off before he's gone."

Shi La swallowed and averted her eyes. Shouldn't the scenario be like this in your mind?

He would refuse, and his mother would give him something valuable in exchange for him leaving?

However, he did not expect this trick to be seen by his grandfather.

He had a bad premonition for a moment as he looked at Vain.

Vain sat on the chair and looked at Shi La with a mocking smile.

"This sly boy..."

After a sigh, he continued with a sudden smile, "I've already enrolled you in the best school in the empire. If you don't go, they'll send men and take you away."

Of course, Shi La's hunch was right. Shi La was depressed.

He fell on the ground and started kicking the ground angrily. While pouting a little, he heard his grandfather's voice again, "The tops of this school will be given lands."

Shi La froze.

Land=Land=Rent=Money!

His eyes lit up, he jumped up and looked at his grandfather with bright eyes. "This is badass…" Vain continued after saying.

"Also, there are many valuable prizes at the school..."

Vain felt a bit of a crisis as he looked into his grandson's eyes. Knowing little about his grandson, he immediately warned, "Don't even think about robbing it! They're the strongest out there! And on top of that, they'll take whatever you have."

Shi La thought, what his grandfather said made sense.

But temporarily...

A small slyness flashed in his eyes. Who said you can't steal when you have the power?

Vain spoke suddenly.

"Come with me"

Shi La snapped out of her thoughts and followed her grandfather. When Shi La left, Leina and Li Shi started chatting.

Shurin's heartbeat quickened as he entered the clan's treasury. He looked at his grandfather in surprise.

Feeling his gaze, Vain said, "Don't look like that. You're your granddaughter after all, and I can't send you to this dangerous place unguarded," then patted her head.

Shi La froze as she felt the warm hands on her head. When he looked at Vain, he could feel his warmth and love. His heart beat erratically, is that what family love means?

Demons are the only creatures without a family.

Experiencing this feeling of love for the first time, Shi La's intention to let go was less and less.

Now these parents, who did not know his true identity in this world, loved and protected him.

His eyes darkened. What if they know your identity? Will they be enemies?

It could have. After all, Shi La used to hate humans too. However, when he developed a certain resistance against racism, he stopped being strange to living things according to race.

"Shi La, which major will you choose in school?"

His thoughts were distracted by Vain's sudden question. "Grandpa, I'm thinking of choosing Directory"

Vain frowned and couldn't help saying, "Are you sure? Your knee is a difficult and mediocre field." Shi La smiled warmly at this self-thinking old man and said, "I'm sure grandpa, trust me."

"Good at least," Vain was convinced, walking to a corner of the Treasure. He opened an old broken-down chest.

Shi La was shocked to see the chest.

***

what's going on?

Did I get hit by a lucky arrow??

Yes, those in the chest were very valuable things. All of them were valuable books about the Directory. However, what made them valuable was not that they were old, but the 'devil' aura oozing from the book. Although people may not realize it, this book was written by demons! Master demons!!

"This is all yours"

Shi La succumbed to her excitement and quickly threw the Indexes into the storage ring as soon as she heard the word "your". He didn't have the habit of refusing out of courtesy, and he never would have.

Why would he refuse if he wanted to??

She couldn't help but hugged her grandfather and sincerely said, "Thank you."
