Gu Qiaoâs mouth twitched. Is this still the eldest young master of his house? How come he seems like... Iâve heard that pregnancy can cause women to be silly for three years, but this was referring to women, right? Why does it feel like the young master is acting silly too?
"You should hurry up," Gu Qingheng continued to educate Gu Qiao, "Ruxin said if you get married late, itâll delay the childâs schooling. Haha, Iâll be a father next year..."
Gu Qiao looked up at the sky, speechless.
"And you all," Gu Qingheng turned around and addressed the people around him, "You should hurry up and get married too."
Around them, Shadow Six and Shadow Eight could only stare at the sky for now. The young master really seemed possessed.
"Hurry up and get me, the elder, some food, Iâm starving." Just then, a person rushed in and sat heavily on a chair, "Bring me a glass of water first."
Everyone let out a sigh of relief, the Divine Doctor elder arrived just in time, otherwise, theyâd still be hearing lectures from the General.
"Elder." Gu Qingheng was immediately pleased and took a step forward, "Ruxin is pregnant."
"Pregnant? Thatâs very normal, right?" Dao Xuzi gave Gu Qingheng a sideways glance, "Youâre not a eunuch, not having children would be abnormal." He waved his hand, "Hurry and pour some water and bring the food."
The corners of Gu Qiao and the othersâ mouths twitched as they struggled to suppress their laughter.
Gu Qingheng, feeling a bit annoyed, scratched his nose. This old man isnât very lovable, but he quickly poured some water and handed it over, also instructing Gu Qiao to prepare the food.
Long Qia, who came along with Dao Xuzi, also entered and paid respects. Along with them were two owls, Xiaoheiâs little brothers, named Crack and Pop by Yang Ruxin.
The military camp conditions were average, but Gu Qiao still carefully prepared the best possible meal for the elder, even including a pot of wine.
"Whatâs the situation here?" Dao Xuzi asked while eating.
"The losses here are too severe; temporarily, we canât engage in battle. Luckily, the opponent hasnât made any moves in these days," Gu Qingheng sighed, "However, several waves of scouts have been sent, yet theyâve not gathered any useful information."
"Just a bunch of fools," Dao Xuzi gave Gu Qingheng another sideways glance.
Gu Qingheng could only smile wryly; in the old manâs eyes, it seems only his wife is smart.
"Iâm full," Dao Xuzi put down his chopsticks and stood up, "Arrange a tent for me, the elder, Iâm going to sleep."
Gu Qingheng originally thought to ask the old man if he would see any patients, but couldnât bring it up, so he just let someone arrange the tent.
Long Qia blinked: "Elder, thereâs still..."
"Why speak so much?" Dao Xuzi glared at Long Qia.
Long Qia could only shut his mouth reluctantly.
Dao Xuzi then walked out of the tent quickly, heading to sleep.
Meanwhile, Gu Qingheng looked down at the golden snake coiling around his wrist, unable to resist a smile.
"You stinky snake, you just ran off by yourself?" Dao Xuzi suddenly bounced back after leaving the tent, "Whatâs wrong with following me, the elder? You heartless..."
Gold rolled its eyes and clung to Gu Qinghengâs wrist; Ruxin instructed me to stay and protect her husband. Youâre not Ruxinâs husband, why should I follow you? Besides, Iâm so annoyed with Tiantian constantly extracting my venom whenever youâre around.
Dao Xuzi, unable to understand Goldâs meaning, could nonetheless vaguely sense its disdain, yet he was helpless and could only fling his arms back to sleep, lest he die of anger.
