Unable to hide the excitement in his heart, he instantly appeared before her, dropping to his knees, "Thank you, Master, for your guidance."
The young voice, the appearance of a teenager, YaoâEr looked at him, her heart a mix of emotions.
Xiaoqi is a good seedling, a seedling to become a top expert, she liked him very much. As long as he cultivates well, he will surely become Great Yuâs
"Get up."
YaoâEr extended a hand to help him up.
"Just make sure you cultivate well in the future."
Right now, her feelings were complicated; if it were someone else, she might have been happier.
Except... forget it!
At this moment, a light footstep came from outside, and shortly after, Ning Xin walked in with a tray of exquisite pastries.
YaoâErâs eyes slightly focused; she didnât know Ning Xin personally, but she knew she was Chen Xuanâs woman.
More importantly... she was also in the Dao Realm.
And... not the cheap kind like the Rat King.
"Auntie!"
Xiaoqi ran up to Ning Xin with a smile.
"Youâve made quite a bit of progress, havenât you?"
Ning Xin was astonished, as she had been keeping an eye on Xiaoqiâs situation every day. In just one day, she felt Xiaoqiâs spiritual power had changed significantly.
"No wonder my husband asked her to guide Xiaoqi."
At this moment, she couldnât help but admire Chen Xuan greatly.
In that case... then she smiled at YaoâEr, "Miss YaoâEr, you are a treasured guest of the Princeâs Mansion, and youâve worked so hard to teach Xiaoqi, so I personally made some pastries for you to try."
Upon hearing this, YaoâEr looked at her cautiously.
Her dislike for Chen Xuan extended to Ning Xin in her heart as well.
As for Xiaoqi... he completely amazed her with his extraordinary talent. Although, he was just a child after all.
So she made no movement whatsoever.
Seeing this, Ning Xin smiled and placed the tray of pastries on the table, while Xiaoqi quickly picked up a piece and came to YaoâEr, raising his hand high, "Master, try it, Auntieâs pastries are delicious."
"This...."
Looking at the pastry in Xiaoqiâs hand, YaoâEr hesitated immediately.
"Is it that Master doesnât like sweets? Xiaoqi loves them; theyâre really tasty."
With that, he took a bite first, showing the sandy red bean paste inside to YaoâEr, "Master, see, red bean paste, so sweet!"
His face also had an âinnocent and naiveâ smile.
"If you like it, you should eat more."
YaoâEr squeezed out a faint smile, rubbing his head.
This little guy... heâs already showing a bit of adult demeanor.
"Hehe!"
Xiaoqi grinned toothily, with some red bean paste stuck to his teeth, "That wonât do, this is what Auntie made for Master, Iâll just have one piece."
Then he pulled Ning Xinâs hand, "Auntie, letâs go back."
"Alright!"
Ning Xin smiled warmly, nodding at YaoâEr before leaving with Xiaoqi.
In the room, YaoâErâs gaze remained fixed on the door, and after a long time, she slowly sat down, looking at the exquisite pastries on the table.
"This kid...."
She shook her head, smiled, then picked up a piece and bit into it softly.
"Hmm?"
"Not bad!"
...
In the Ning Gardenâs main hall.
Ning Xin had already prepared a table full of dishes, just waiting for Chen Xuan.
A moment later.
As the head of the household, he finally arrived fashionably late.
"Daddy, you finally came, Iâm hungry."
Xiaoqi sat there, pouting, looking at him with some dissatisfaction.
"Huh?"
Chen Xuan let out a soft exclamation, then took a step to Xiaoqi and a wisp of spiritual power slowly appeared.
After a careful inspection, he exclaimed, "As expected of the National Preceptorâs disciple, truly different."
Itâs often said that comparisons can be frustrating. Having been under the National Preceptorâs influence since childhood, his insights into cultivation far surpass the ordinary.
Just guiding Xiaoqi for a day, and his spiritual power has improved so much.
Moreover... it probably doesnât stop there.
"She is a good master."
At this time, Ning Xin also spoke up.
"How is it? Wasnât it right for me to do this time?"
Chen Xuan asked with a smile.
"But Master seems to have quite an opinion of Daddy."
Xiaoqiâs words stopped the smile on Chen Xuanâs face, making him somewhat awkward.
"If you canât speak well, donât speak at all."
Chen Xuan patted his head, "For your sake, Daddy paid a great price, and here you are making sarcastic comments."
"Stop hitting his head, what if you damage it?"
Ning Xin rolled her eyes at him, touching Xiaoqiâs head gently, as if afraid that Chen Xuan might break it.
Looking at this, Chen Xuan was speechless.
Xiaoqi may be small, just over four years old, but he was already the size of a youth. And donât forget... he was in the Late-Stage Profound Realm already.
Moreover, under the tempering of the Nine Elements Dao Skill, his physical body wasnât even weaker than some in the Dao Realm. He just gave a light pat, yet it could break?
"Sigh!"
He sighed helplessly in his heart.
In the house, among the women, Ning Xin was the most doting on Xiaoqi.
"Just saying, Master even scolded you."
Xiaoqi slightly lifted his head to look at Ning Xin, "Auntie, what exactly did Daddy do to Master?"
This question immediately stunned her.
What did he do?
Your Daddy planted a soul seed in someone and now even wants her to guide you!
Of course, she couldnât say this.
She could only casually make up a lie, "Nothing much, they just had a little disagreement, itâll be fine after a while."
"Really?"
Xiaoqiâs innocent face showed a hint of doubt, quite skeptical.
"Of course, when has Auntie ever lied to you?"
Hearing her say this, Xiaoqi slowly nodded, but on the side, Luan Ying was stifling a laugh, her fair face flushed red with holding it in.
Seeing this, Chen Xuan glared at her fiercely.
"Somethingâs not right, why was Master so cautious earlier, she didnât even dare eat the pastries you gave, Auntie?"
Xiaoqi wasnât foolish, on the contrary, he was very clever, not easy to be fooled by just a couple of sentences.
At this point, Ning Xin felt mentally exhausted.
Isnât it said that children are easy to deceive? Why is it so difficult with her?
