Chapter 784 - 784 65 - Speaking of Relatives_4

Chapter 784: Chapter 65 – Speaking of Relatives_4 Chapter 784: Chapter 65 – Speaking of Relatives_4 Wang Ba was suddenly at a loss for what to do.

He had faced such situations before when dealing with spirit beast cubs.

He usually managed it by giving them a few slaps, so they hardly dared to make a noise after feeling the pain.

But the one in front of him now…

Helplessly, he sought Bu Chan’s help with his gaze.

Bu Chan had no choice but to fly over.

She picked up Liu Jin from the ground, gently patted the child and sang in a comforting tone:

“Be good, Liu Jin, be good…”

It was strange to see that as soon as Bu Chan held Liu Jin, he immediately quieted down and obediently curled up in her arms.

...

Seeing this, Wang Ba was left momentarily speechless.

But he understood.

After all, Bu Chan had been the one taking care of the child, so it was normal for Liu Jin to be unfamiliar with him since he had just returned.

After some thought, he decided to take on a lighter task:

“You can feed Liu Jin, I’ll go cook.”

He barely managed to make a meal that was edible.

After they finished eating, Bu Chan watched Liu Jin slowly crawling under their watchful eyes with some concern in her heart.

“It’s been eight months already, Liu Jin still can’t talk and can’t stand…

Gu Wen told me that there is a child around Liu Jin’s age at Feiyu Peak who can already crawl everywhere and even call out for his parents.”

“There is a variation in the development of children which is normal, so we should not rush.”

Wang Ba said in a comforting voice: “Furthermore, Liu Jin has strong Qi and Blood, which requires him to have extremely high control over his body.

Naturally, he develops later than average children.”

“I know this is supposed to be the case, I’m just a bit worried.”

Worry filled Bu Chan’s eyes: “We haven’t even tested Liu Jin’s Spiritual Root yet.

Gu Wen said we should wait until he’s a bit older for more accurate results…

I wonder if he will even have a Spiritual Root.”

Seeing Bu Chan’s worried face, Wang Ba couldn’t help but feel pained.

He held her tightly against him.

“It’s fine, don’t stress yourself.

Even without Spiritual Root, at the worst scenario, he can take the path of Body Cultivation, it will just require more resources.”

“And our situation is not the same as when we were in Chen State and Yan State.”

Hearing his words, Bu Chan seemed to come to a realization.

She was startled for a moment, then she leaned lightly against Wang Ba’s chest, her cheek softly pressing against him.

She whispered:

“I know, but sometimes I still feel insecure, especially when you’re not around.”

Wang Ba gently stroked Bu Chan’s back, he could deeply empathize with her worries.

After he left the sect, aside from her close friend Gu Wen, she didn’t have any other familiar faces in the sect.

Even though the atmosphere in the Wanxiang Sect was much better than Chen State and Yan State, she was still alone with a child to take care of, plus managing Wanfa Peak, feeling anxious and unsettled was natural.

“Don’t worry, I’ll stay by your side from now on.”

Wang Ba softly said.

Just then, a voice suddenly echoed through the sky:

“Is Junior Brother Wang here?”

Bu Chan hurriedly sat up.

Wang Ba also felt curious, he quickly rose up and flew towards the speaker.

Suddenly, a figure in a white robe came into view.

Wang Ba was surprised:

“Fourth personal disciple, Xu Ying?”

“What is he doing here?”

Although Wang Ba was slightly confused, he quickly rushed over, greeted Xu Ying with a smile and a bow:

“Senior Brother Xu, greetings.”

The white-robed cultivator was smiling, “The Sect Master has an order, Junior Brother Wang, shall we go?”

“The Sect Master has an order?”

Wang Ba was taken aback.

Hadn’t the Sect Master just seen him a few days ago?

What could be the matter now?

Wang Ba was perplexed.

However, seeing the meaningful smile on the face of the white-robed cultivator, an idea flashed into his mind.

“Could it be that the reward the Sect Master mentioned for the great merit I performed…Has it already been issued?”

With that thought, Wang Ba felt a surge of excitement and quickly thanked him: “Understood, please wait a moment, Senior Brother.”

He quickly flew back down, exchanged a few words with Bu Chan before rushing back up again.

The white-robed cultivator’s gaze fell on Bu Chan and Liu Jin crawling on the ground.

There was a flash of surprise in his eyes.

His gaze upon Wang Ba also introduced a hint of complexity.

As someone who was notably alert, Wang Ba subconsciously noticed the slight change in the other’s demeanor.

But he didn’t dwell on it too much.

Soon, under the guidance of the personal disciple, Wang Ba once again went to the Chunyang Palace located on the flying island.

What surprised him was that as soon as he landed on the stone steps in front of the Chunyang Palace, he suddenly felt like he was being watched by countless ancient beasts!

…

“So he’s Wang Ba?”

Within the palace.

Noticing the commotion outside, the gathering of cultivators couldn’t help but look towards the palace entrance.

On seeing Wang Ba, who was slightly youthful but had an unremarkable appearance, many felt a sense of disappointment.

Of course, the worth of a cultivator could not be measured by his appearance alone.

Therefore, despite the disappointment, no one said anything.

Only Qin Dengyuan, who was not far from Shao Yangzi, had his gaze across the palace, carefully observing Wang Ba.

Despite his sharp eyes, he couldn’t see anything special.

He looked at Qin Lingxiao with a bit of hesitation and whispered, “Little Lingxiao, is it him?”

Qin Lingxiao, her face flushed, looked out the palace door at the familiar yet restrained face and nodded slightly:

“Grandpa, it’s him.”

“He doesn’t look…like what you described.”

Qin Dengyuan was somewhat hesitant.

Even though he didn’t expect Qin Lingxiao to find a formidable husband, if he was too useless, it would be unacceptable.

“Grandpa, he’s very powerful.”

Qin Lingxiao’s gaze fixed on Wang Ba, and her eyes shone brighter: “He’s more powerful than anyone else!”

Upon hearing this, Qin Dengyuan felt his heart sink.

Has Little Lingxiao been enchanted?

Now even if they wanted to back out, it would be impossible.

Helplessly, Qin Dengyuan steeled himself and looked towards Shao Yangzi.

Seeing his face, Shao Yangzi smiled at Wang Ba, who was looking tense and confused as he entered the palace.

He said in a soft voice:

“Wang Ba, your good fortune has arrived.”

“I heard you and the royal family of the Jin State, Qin Lingxiao, have a mutual affection.

Brother Qin Dengyuan personally came here to talk about your engagement.”

Upon hearing this.

Even though the cultivators in the hall had some previous speculation, they couldn’t help but be surprised.

And Wang Ba, who appeared somewhat restrained under the gaze of the cultivators present, was momentarily stunned.
