The Reborn Aristocrat’s Daughter

Situ Xin sat at the dining table, picked up the scallion pancake that her grandmother, Old Madam Situ, had specially prepared for her, and began to eat it with great enjoyment. After a few bites, she looked up at Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, who were continuing to play chess and drink tea, then lowered her head and said, "Grandpa, Grandfather, I’m ready to take over the Dark Division from Grandpa Deng."

As soon as Situ Xin’s words dropped, both Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo stopped their movements, both wearing expressions of disbelief, and in unison said, "What, Baby, what did you say?"

Situ Xin stopped her movements, looked up at Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo, and said earnestly, "Grandpa, Grandfather, you two heard me right, I said, I want to take over the Dark Division from Grandpa Deng."

Once Old Master Situ and Old Master Loo heard Situ Xin’s words clearly, they were no longer calm. "Baby, you have to understand, this is no child’s play, if you take it over, you will have to be responsible for it to the end," Old Master Loo said, genuinely worried, quickly abandoning his usual composure.

"Yes, Baby, you must understand, the Dark Division is not a simple place. It deals with both the underworld and the legitimate world. Once you take over the Dark Division, it will be your responsibility for life, a duty you cannot shrug off," Old Master Situ said, having long since lost his smile, he spoke seriously, trying to dissuade her.

"Grandpa, Grandfather, I know you are worried about me, but you must trust my abilities. Besides, think about it, when have I ever undertaken something without confidence and preparation?" Situ Xin knew that she had to persuade the two elders of the family, otherwise it would be impossible for her to take over the Dark Division.

"Ah, Baby, your Grandfather and I don’t doubt your abilities. We all understand that without you, our two families would have collapsed long ago. Without you, our families wouldn’t have grown to where they are now. We’ve seen all your past actions. We don’t want you to take over the Dark Division because we don’t want you to get too tired or bear too heavy a burden," Old Master Loo sighed deeply, speaking with heartfelt sincerity.

"Indeed, your grandfather and I have never cared about how successful you become or how much glory and benefits you could bring to our two families. We only hope that you grow up healthy and happy. Moreover, this isn’t just our wish, it’s the common wish of both our families. We all hope that under our protection, you can live carefree every day, that would be enough," Old Master Situ’s words heated the rims of Situ Xin’s eyes, something threatening to spill from them.
