The First Heir

Soon, the four arrived at the middle hall.

At this moment, an old man with his hand behind his back was looking at the birdcage hanging in the yard. From a distance, the old man was dressed in plain clothes, looking quite hale and hearty.

Horace walked in with Philip and the others. He bowed slightly to the old man and said, “Grand Elder, Philip has brought his wife and child to visit you.”

The grand elder turned around with a benevolent smile. He looked at Philip who was grinning broadly, stretched out his hand in a beckon, and said, “Little Monkey, are you finally willing to come back and visit this lonely old man?”

Philip stepped forward, bowed to the old man, and said with a smile, “Grand Elder, I’m here to visit you.”

The old man rolled his eyes at Philip before looking at Wynn and Mila who were standing with trepidation on the side.

Then, with a smile on his face, he beckoned to Wynn and Mila while saying, “Come here, all of you. There are not so many rules to follow here.”

Wynn stepped forward with Mila in her arms, bowed to the old man, and said respectfully, “Grand Elder…” Then, she said to Mila in her arms, “Mila, this is your great-grand elder.”
