《Trash No More》Moving In

Advertisement

Jake sat back in his chair with a satisfied smile. This was the best meal he had had in a long while. Eating spirit meat was a lot better then the garbage he was eating before. In addition, the other dishes were top rate; it was all the dishes he remembered fondly from his childhood. He let out a little burp and patted his stomach.

“Oh wow.” Jake exclaimed with a contented smile. “That was so satisfying grandfather and Ling Lin.”

Grandfather looked at him and smiled. He was glad he could finally help Jake, as it was worrying seeing the problems he had been going through in the past year or so.

“Anytime you are hungry please ask for some food.” He replied. “I know growing boys need lots of food. Treat this place as your home. You visited the kitchen a lot here when you were young. The cooks would be glad to see you again. When I told them you were moving into the villa with us, they were so happy and made all of your favorite dishes.”

“Be careful grandfather.” Ling Lin retorted. “If we let him loose he might eat us out of house and home.”

“Now Ling Lin.” Grandfather chided. “Treat him like your brother. He is now a part of our family as I am his grandfather. It is the least I can do in memory of his family. His grandfather was my sworn brother after all.”

Ling Lin was shocked by grandfather’s decision. She could not have him as her brother. Ever since she was young she idolized Jake, she had thought they would probably marry in the future, it was a fantasy of hers. Who could marry their brother? She would not allow this.

“There is no way he is going to be my brother.” She humphed and crossed her arms over her chest and turned away from Jake. “Who wants this smelly brat for a brother? He is my friend and nothing more. This is my bottom line.” She blushed after saying this giving a sly glance at Jake.

Grandfather noted the glance and looked closer at Ling Lin. He noticed her blushing. They have always been close so maybe she does want to be more then his brother, he thought.

“You young people can do as you wish.” He replied smiling at Ling Lin. “As of now I adopt him as my grandson, and I will tell this to the entire sect. He will have my entire support.”

Jake stood and bowed to grandfather, then looked at Ling Lin with a saucy grin.

“I will call you grandfather from now on.” He replied. “And I also do not want this smelly thing for a sister. She is even more stubborn now then when we were kids. “

He was secretly glad as well that she had brought this up. After not seeing her after so long he found he had missed her and not as a friend. He found her very beautiful, more so since she had started cultivating. One of the side effects of cultivating was women became more beautiful, and for a beautiful girl like Ling Lin, she became like a fairy. Especially after looking at the Yin and Yang Body Sculpting technique, he had hoped she could become his partner in the future. He then let out a big yawn.

“Excuse me.” He said blushing. “It has been a very long day.”

Grandfather clapped his hands summoning the servant, Old Ai.

“Bring Jake to the rooms you prepared for him.” He said. “Jake follow Old Ai to your rooms Jake. Ling Lin you go to bed as well.”

Ling Lin walked over and hugged Old Ai, she was a servant but had served as her nanny until Ling Lin could cultivate. When she had lost her parents, she became like a surrogate mother to Ling Lin and Jake.

Jake stood and smiled at Old Ai. He had many fond memories of her caring for him after his parents died. He walked over and hugged her as well.

“Grandfather why are you calling her Old Ai?” he said grinning at Old Ai. “The only old person here is you grandfather, not Nanny Ai. She is still as young and beautiful as I remember.”

Old Ai laughed and lightly cuffed Jake on the back of the head. She remembered what a sweet talker he had been when he was young. He could always get what he wanted. She reached up and pinched his cheek as well.

“Oh still such a sweet talker.” She replied with a chortle. “Be careful First Elder he may steal your most precious object. Follow me I have made up some rooms for you. At the opposite end of the villa from Ling Lin.” She looked at Ling Lin when she said this.

Ling Lin blushed furiously at this.

“What are you saying Nanny Ai?” She shouted. “Who would want anything to do with him?”

She ran out of the room in a huff.

“Old Ai please do not tease her.” Grandfather said with a sigh. “She has become difficult in the past little while, especially when it comes to Jake. Do not add fuel to the fire. Please take Jake to his rooms.”

“Thank you again grandfather for all you have done for me.” Said Jake seriously with a bow. “Nanny Ai please lead on.”

“First Elder I am sorry.” Old Ai replied with a slight bow to grandfather. “I have not seen her act like this before. I will not tease her in front of others. Follow me Little Jake. Good night First Elder.”

Maybe there was a more to it then she thought. Where there is a spark is a fire, old Ai thought. She had always looked at them as a couple, and their parents and grandparents had too. They did not know but after they had been born, their parents had made a marriage contract for them. The First Elder should have a copy in his possessions. It was probably not a good time to bring that up now.

With that and bowing at the First Elder she led Jake out of the room.
