After speaking, her little mouth pouted, as if she had suffered a huge injustice.
"What about you all? Do you want to go for a walk too?"
Chen Xuan looked at the others and asked.
"Itâs not impossible. Moran City isnât dangerous, so we might as well go out for a stroll to relax. Oh, why not invite Miss YaoâEr along?"
Ning Xin asked Chen Xuan.
This matter needed him to decide.
"Itâs not a matter of inviting her; itâs whether she wants to go herself."
"Hmm... let me think..."
Chen Xuan frowned, pondering for a moment, then said, "How about this, you all go and invite her. I wonât go, so she wonât get annoyed seeing me."
Even after all this time, YaoâErâs attitude towards Chen Xuan hadnât changed at all.
It was still like that, cold and indifferent, either glaring or scowling.
But compared to him, YaoâErâs attitude towards Ning Xin was much better. Although not like sisters, they could have a casual chat.
Of course, the one she had the best relationship with was definitely Xiaoqi.
"That works."
Ning Xin nodded. Indeed, if he went, YaoâEr definitely wouldnât go.
"Then how about tomorrow?"
Luan Ying, seeing Chen Xuan agree, couldnât hide her excitement. It seemed that since going to the Ten Thousand People Mountain Range, they hadnât gone out at all.
"Up to you all..."
They were all in the Dao Realm; in Moran City, they could walk around without a worry, plus with YaoâEr, an expert in the fifth level of the Dao Stage, Chen Xuan had nothing to worry about.
If any fool dared to mess with them, it would be because they did something evil in their past life and deserved their bad luck in this one.
...
At sunset.
Ning Xin, as usual, carried a plate of fresh grapes to YaoâEr.
At this time, Xiaoqi was still in cultivation.
"Miss YaoâEr."
Ning Xin smiled and said, "These grapes were just delivered to the Princeâs Mansion today, nurtured by Spiritual Qi. They taste pretty good, so I brought some for you to try."
"Thank you."
YaoâEr also smiled slightly. Although not overly enthusiastic, this was already the best she could do.
Ning Xin had been so caring towards her these days, asking what she wanted, what she liked, and as long as she mentioned something, it would appear before her the next day.
If it werenât for that annoying Chen Xuan, they would have long become good friends.
After all, growing up in the Imperial City, if she counted friends, there was probably only Wood Shadow, but she was also a cold person.
Unless necessary, she wouldnât say another word.
As for the National Preceptor, he only occasionally cared about her cultivation status; otherwise, she was always alone.
But after coming here, she would usually tutor Xiaoqi, and then Ning Xin would come and chat with her a bit every day.
She had never experienced this kind of life.
But she found it very comfortable, which was part of why she stayed hereâbecause of Xiaoqi, the other part was that she fell in love with this lifestyle.
"No need, itâs us who should be thanking you for teaching Xiaoqi so diligently."
Ning Xin said softly, "And we are going out tomorrow to browse around and buy some things. Would you like to come with us?"
"Heâs not going!"
Afraid she wouldnât go, Ning Xin quickly added a sentence.
"Oh... going out to have fun."
Hearing there was an outing, Xiaoqi immediately stopped. He was too excited to think about cultivating.
It had been a long time since he last went out for fun.
But without his fatherâs permission, even his mother and others wouldnât dare to go out, let alone him.
"Concentrate on your cultivation!"
YaoâEr immediately scolded him. The only thing she wasnât satisfied with about Xiaoqi was this; he wasnât diligent during cultivation and would get distracted if she wasnât paying attention.
"Oh!"
Xiaoqi slightly lowered his head, pouting, not daring to look at her.
YaoâEr had become stricter with him, which led to him being quite afraid of her now.
Ning Xin, seeing this scene, was quite satisfied.
She understood the saying that a strict teacher produces outstanding students, so seeing YaoâEr scold Xiaoqi made her quite happy.
This also proved that YaoâEr genuinely considered him her disciple.
"I think I wonât go."
YaoâEr slowly said, but there was a hint of hesitation in her tone.
"Come on!"
Ning Xin grabbed her hand and persuaded, "Youâve been here for quite a while, and teaching Xiaoqi isnât an easy task either; consider it a chance to relax."
"Heâs not going, itâs just us, itâs fine!"
"Even though Moran City isnât as splendid as the Imperial City, it still has a lot of good places."
Even though she said this, YaoâEr still hesitated.
But from her expression, you could tell she was tempted.
At this moment, Ning Xin gave Xiaoqi a look.
Catching on, he immediately went to YaoâErâs side, hugging her arm, "Master, letâs go, Moran City has so much good food, especially the stuff sold by the street; they have candied hawthorns, Osmanthus cakes, and adorable sugar figures."
"Gulp..."
While persuading YaoâEr, he couldnât help but swallow at the mention of these treats.
Seeing this immediately made both girls laugh.
YaoâEr extended a finger and tapped his forehead, "What a little glutton!"
She looked at Xiaoqi with a lot of affection.
After all, heâs still a child, and being gluttonous is normal.
"Master, please, letâs go! Iâll take you to eat, my treat."
Xiaoqi shook YaoâEr gently.
"Alright, alright, youâre shaking my head dizzy. Fine, Iâll go, but on the condition that itâs your treat!"
Seeing she finally agreed, Xiaoqi clapped his hands joyfully, "Great! Donât worry, Master, I know which ones are good and which arenât."
"Iâll take you with me and guarantee that once you go, youâll want to go again!"
Xiaoqi patted his chest confidently.
"Alright, itâs a deal then."
YaoâEr patted his small head, looking very pleased. She was growing more and more fond of this apprentice.
She even... began to have thoughts of taking him to meet the National Preceptor!
