That night.
A figure in a blue dress floated across the night sky like a ghost, disappearing in a flash.
The blue figure streaked through the sky and gently landed on a large tree beside the Jiangning Mansion.
This person was none other than Yu Manyun.
"Dark and gloomy? Is there no one here?" Yu Manyun looked at the pitch-black residence ahead, with a trace of doubt flashing in her eyes.
After a day of extensive inquiries, she finally found Jiang Ning’s place of residence.
To be cautious, she chose to co in the middle of the night to test the waters with Jiang Ning.
After all, she knew well of Xiao Ei’s capabilities.
Xiao Ei’s failure in the mission was enough to show that Jiang Ning wasn’t that simple.
But for the position of Palace Master, she had to vie for it.
However, she didn’t expect that when she arrived stealthily, she would find the entire mansion shrouded in darkness, eerily quiet!
Standing on the branch, Yu Manyun thought for a while as she looked ahead, then lightly tapped her toes and gracefully floated into Jiang Ning’s mansion.
After a cautious search for half a cup of tea’s ti, Yu Manyun opened the mansion gate and ca out.
"Indeed, the person is gone and the building is empty!"
"Could it be he knew I was coming and left with his family ahead of ?"
Yu Manyun murmured as she stepped over the threshold.
From her careful search just now and the residual warmth of the stove, she knew Jiang Ning’s family left today.
I’ve heard he has a martial arts master, I’ll ask tomorrow!
Yu Manyun glanced back at the pitch-black house behind her and made up her mind.
...
On the other side.
Crackle—
The sparks burst forth, and the faces of Jiang Ning and the others were red from the bonfire’s glow.
"Uncle, it’s a bit cold!!" Little Dumpling snuggled into Jiang Ning’s embrace.
"It won’t be cold once we have our al!" Jiang Ning gently patted her back.
The current weather had a huge temperature difference between day and night.
The better the weather during the day, with not a cloud in the sky, the colder it was at night.
He could feel the temperature approaching near zero.
Thus, even with a bonfire burning, giving off light and heat, it still felt very cold.
Feeling Little Dumpling slightly trembling in his arms, Jiang Ning imdiately placed his palm on her back, channeling inner breath to warm her.
The Inner Elixir Cultivation Skill is a type of Inner Strength thod from the Tao, characterized by balance and harmony.
As the inner breath ward her, Little Dumpling’s complexion gradually turned rosy.
"So warm!!" Little Dumpling snuggled against Jiang Ning’s chest, showing a sweet smile on her face.
Beside them.
Liuu Wanwan watching this scene also couldn’t help but smile.
She already knew her little brother-in-law’s abilities.
With such skills, Little Dumpling being close to him was naturally nothing to worry about in the future.
Just like Jiang Yiming, her husband and she didn’t yet plan anything for Yiming, but Jiang Ning had already arranged it.
Entering Martial Arts at fifteen, enrolling in Martial Arts Garden.
In the future, entering the Academy and stepping into the Tao Palace was bound to be a natural progression.
At this mont.
Jiang Li’s voice ca over.
"Dinner is served!"
Upon hearing this, Little Dumpling imdiately looked up.
"I want so!!!"
"There’s no shortage for you!" Liuu Wanwan glared playfully at her daughter.
A mont later.
"Uncle!" Jiang Yiming brought over a bowl of fish soup with plenty of fish at.
This was also their dinner for the night.
Traveling outdoors and camping in the wild naturally had many inconveniences.
Fish at with two hundred years of Dao can provide a large amount of energy to the body.
Just a small bowl could make them fearless of the cold night wind.
It was the most suitable food for them.
Jiang Ning took the big bowl handed over by Jiang Yiming.
"Ah Ning, I’ll hold Little Dumpling!" Liuu Wanwan got up and walked over at this mont.
Just then.
Little Dumpling, who was huddled in Jiang Ning’s arms, suddenly clutched his clothes tightly.
"No, no!!"
"Good girl, be good!" Liuu Wanwan coaxed Little Dumpling.
"Dumpling likes snuggling in uncle’s arms, it’s so warm!" Little Dumpling continued to clutch Jiang Ning’s clothes tightly.
"Sister-in-law, it’s okay, I’ll feed Little Dumpling." Jiang Ning smiled.
"Then... sorry to trouble Ah Ning!" Liuu Wanwan apologized with a look of gratitude.
Jiang Ning smiled and shook his head again.
Then, Jiang Ning looked at Little Dumpling in his arms.
"Open up, be careful, it’s hot!"
"Uncle, let do it myself. I’ve grown up, I can fend for myself, no need to be fed!"
"Alright, alright!!" Jiang Ning laughed heartily: "Little Dumpling has grown up!"
"That’s right, grown up!!" These words seed to give Little Dumpling a lot of motivation.
She imdiately wriggled out of Jiang Ning’s arms.
"Drink slowly, be careful it’s hot!" Watching Little Dumpling lift a bowl as big as her face and about to bury her head in it, Jiang Ning imdiately warned.
Monts later.
They all had enough to eat and drink, feeling warm all over.
"Brother, I’ll keep watch tonight!" Jiang Li was the first to speak.
"No need for you to do it personally, big brother!" Jiang Ning shook his head and continued: "Let Old Turtle do it!"
"What?" Old Turtle, who was lying quietly on the grass nearby, suddenly raised his head to look at Jiang Ning: "Master, ?"
"Yes!" Jiang Ning nodded, looking at it: "Is there a problem?"
"No!" Old Turtle imdiately shook his head repeatedly: "No problem! I’ve slept enough over the years, one or two nights without sleep is nothing!"
Jiang Ning said: "Then it’s settled!"
"Yes, Master!" Old Turtle responded.
Jiang Li saw this scene from the side and had no objections.
"Brother, in that case, I’ll take Little Dumpling back to sleep!"
Upon hearing this, Little Dumpling, who was only as tall as Jiang Ning’s waist, imdiately hugged Jiang Ning’s leg tightly.
"Father, no! I want to sleep with Uncle tonight."
"Brother, you see..."
Jiang Ning casually patted Little Dumpling’s head: "Brother, I’ll take Little Dumpling to sleep. My carriage is big enough."
