The young man before him was about the same age as Little Ninth, but he was much more cheerful than Little Ninth. The two actually shared many similarities in character—both were so full of confidence, except that the young man's confidence stemmed from his powerful family background whereas Little Ninth's confidence was all earned through his own efforts in combat.
A sour feeling welled up in Lord Beiting Jing's heart as he let go of the young man's hand, lifting his own to gently stroke Xu Xiaomo's head as if Little Ninth were right by his side at this moment. Lord Beiting Jing made a promise, "I am Little Ninth's older brother, which makes me your older brother too. If I go to the 33 Heavens, how could I not visit my own brother? Xiaomo, rest assured, I will definitely come to see you!"
