Chapter 1520 - Used as a Shield
“The Manor Master is back!”
Amid excitement, a crowd of people, young and old, quickly poured out from the mountain manor.
Gongsun Jing and the others disembarked from the swordfish ship. A delicate figure immediately leapt into Gongsun Jing’s embrace. “Daddy, you’re finally back.”
The speaker was a stunning young girl, perhaps seventeen or eighteen, with a delicate face, snowy skin, and large, sparkling eyes. Her fiery-red training attire highlighted her curvaceous figure, lending her an agile, lively charm that captivated the eye.
A rare look of affection showed on Gongsun Jing’s face as he said, “I’m back now. Where’s your mother?”
“Mother just fell asleep,” said the young girl. Her gaze turned and fell on Chen Fan, “So, you’re that Chen Fan? The one who saved my Daddy and helped him kill those marauders?”
They had sent a communication talisman ahead to assure everyone of their safety. So, Chen Fan wasn’t surprised that she already knew about him.
“Don’t be rude, Ling’er.” Gongsun Jing immediately straightened his face and said, “Apologies, Little Brother Chen. This is my daughter, Gongsun Ling’er. She’s been spoiled and never learned proper manners."
Feeling slightly displeased, Gongsun Ling’er bit her red lips lightly and said, “What, I think I might be bigger than him.”
Chen Fan couldn’t help but laugh. Instinctively, his eyes drifted to Ling’er's budding chest, and he thought, Well, she’s definitely got me beat there.
“Dad, look at him!” Gongsun Ling’er cried, catching Chen Fan’s gaze and blushing furiously.
“Ling’er, stop messing around,” Gongsun Jing said helplessly.
