The next day, Chen Xuan led a few women and Xiaoqi out of the space rift.
Suddenly, there were so many new auras, YaoâEr, who was cultivating in her room, abruptly opened her eyes.
He wasnât in the study!?
"Damn it!"
YaoâEr instantly lost her composure. Even someone like her who had been trained in royal protocol from a young age started cursing.
If she had known he wasnât in Prince Xuanâs Mansion, she definitely would have escaped.
Even with the soul seed implanted, as long as she was at a sufficient distance, he couldnât do anything to her.
As long as she reached the Imperial City, everything would be easier to solve.
Even if the National Preceptor couldnât remove the soul seed, there would be a thousand ways to make Chen Xuan release it.
"Damn it, I was actually fooled by an empty room!"
YaoâEr cursed inwardly.
In fact, if she had just sent a message to the National Preceptor and took a gamble, it would see whether Chen Xuan really dared to kill her.
But... she didnât dare!
Afraid of death!
If Chen Xuan actually acted, then it would be too late to regret it.
So YaoâEr never dared to gamble.
And precisely for this reason, Chen Xuan had her under his thumb.
At the end of the day, it was because YaoâEr had grown up in the Imperial Palace. She had power but lacked worldly experience, so there were some things she neither dared to do nor could do.
In Ning Garden, a smile appeared on Chen Xuanâs lips.
YaoâErâs recent behavior was completely in his sights. It seemed that yesterdayâs empty study had indeed shaken her.
This would make it even easier to control her in the future.
"Still too inexperienced, way too naive."
Chen Xuan sighed inwardly. While this type of person was not weak, they were much easier to deal with.
"Your smile... is a bit suspicious, isnât it?"
Next to him, Luan Ying was practically sticking to his face, her eyes constantly shifting as if trying to discern what he was thinking.
"Pa!"
Chen Xuan gave her a hard smack on her rounded backside, "Whatâs the problem? Youâre the one whoâs always scheming, go! Help XinâEr tidy up."
Then he turned to Xiaoqi, "Follow Daddy, letâs go meet your future master."
"Master? Who is it?"
Xiaoqi looked at him, puzzled.
"Youâll know when you get there!"
Saying this, Chen Xuan headed toward Qiuyuan first.
Ning Xin then patted his head, "Go on then."
"Got it, Auntie!"
Xiaoqi replied, then followed immediately.
...
Outside YaoâErâs room in Qiuyuan.
Chen Xuan pointed at the door, "Go knock on the door, and be polite."
"Yes, Daddy!"
Xiaoqi replied and then walked up to the door.
"Knock, knock, knock!"
He gently knocked three times, and then softly said as Chen Xuan had instructed, "Disciple Xiaoqi, paying respects to Master!"
Inside the room.
YaoâEr frowned tightly. Previously, Chen Xuan had told her he was bringing someone for her to teach.
She didnât expect it would be a child.
"Is it his son?"
Sensing the two similar faces, one big and one small, outside the room.
"So bold? Not afraid Iâd make a move?"
YaoâEr was puzzled. He actually dared to entrust his son to her for teaching.
"Come in."
As she spoke, Xiaoqi gently pushed the door open.
He then slowly walked inside.
Upon seeing that it was a woman, he immediately turned his head to Chen Xuan.
Seeing him nod, he then approached YaoâEr, bowed, and saluted, "Disciple Xiaoqi, paying respects to Master!"
YaoâEr did not speak, instead looking toward Chen Xuan.
"He is my only son and Iâll be leaving him in your care."
"Teach him well, and I wonât trouble you."
"Consider it a deal."
With those words, Xiaoqi was baffled.
What exactly is going on?
"Does this woman have a grudge against Daddy?"
He looked at YaoâEr and then at Chen Xuan.
"You really have the guts, arenât you afraid Iâll do something, or deliberately teach him wrong?"
YaoâEr asked coldly.
"First, I truly am bold."
"Second, the entire Princeâs Mansion is under my watchful eye. Even the slightest move by you will be noticed by me. So let me remind you, donât try anything funny, or I wonât mind giving you a replay of what happened that day."
Saying this, Chen Xuan clearly noticed her body tremble slightly.
"Heh!"
Chucking to himself, he continued, "Also, heâs just a child. Youâre the National Preceptorâs esteemed disciple, would you stoop to such disgraceful acts?"
"That would disgrace the National Preceptorâs reputation."
"I would hope you wouldnât do something like that!"
With these words, a smile appeared on his face.
YaoâEr remained silent.
She just stared at him.
The smile on his face was very displeasing to YaoâEr.
After a long time.
"Has anyone ever told you that youâre shameless?"
"I wouldnât know!"
Chen Xuan shrugged, "No one has ever said that to my face. Anyway, my son is very gifted, you wonât be ashamed to teach him. Teach him well, maybe one day Iâll be happy and remove your soul seed."
With that, Chen Xuan left.
However, at the moment he left, two strands of spiritual power attached themselves to both sides of the door.
Show-off aside, he was still very cautious facing a spirit cultivator like YaoâEr.
Inside the room.
YaoâEr looked at Xiaoqi.
Being his prisoner wasnât enough, now she even had to teach his son.
What a cruel irony.
Late-Stage Profound Realm, Early-Stage Xuan Rank.
With her power, she could easily discern Xiaoqiâs current level.
Although unwilling, but..... after some thought, forget it, she then asked, "Youâre called Xiaoqi? Whatâs your real name?"
"Iâm just called Xiaoqi, Xiaoqi is my real name."
YaoâErâs expression slightly changed instantly.
Isnât this just like me?
YaoâEr!
What her surname was, what her real name was, she didnât know. Even when she asked the National Preceptor, he only told her, from now on, just call yourself YaoâEr, you have no other name.
"Why do you only have a nickname?"
