Jian Ai immediately cupped her fists and lowered her head sincerely. “I apologize for my ignorance just now. You’re very useful!”
Seeing this, Bai Zhou nodded in satisfaction. “No need, no need. After all, I still have to listen to your orders in the future.”
As he spoke, Bai Zhou continued to pick up his fork. As he ate, he said, “Speaking of Chi Yang, he inherited the auxiliary mental cultivation techniques of the ancient sect. Actually, ever since the ancient sect was established, there weren’t many auxiliary-type disciples. Moreover, they were relatively weak because the auxiliary mental cultivation techniques were challenging to cultivate. It’s already difficult for them to master one or two essences.”
As he spoke, Bai Zhou couldn’t help but look at Chi Yang with admiration in his eyes. “Chi Yang is an exception. He can be said to be a genius. In the Sect Master’s words, he can be ranked as one of the twelve guards with his current strength.”
“It’s also because of this that I kept him by my side.”
Being praised by his master and the Sect Master in front of him, Chi Yang’s handsome face could not help but turn slightly red.
Jian Ai nodded in understanding. So that was the case.
…
At night, at Wang Yunzhong’s house.
Wang Zichen was doing his homework at night. After entering Year Three, his homework piled up like a mountain. For a lousy student like him, doing his homework every day was like a long march. It was long and arduous.
Someone knocked on the door. Wang Zichen sighed impatiently and said, “e in.”
His tone made it obvious that he was not in a good mood.
Wang Yunzhong pushed the door open and entered. When he saw the exercise book on his son’s table, he couldn’t help but smile in satisfaction.
Seeing Wang Yunzhong, Wang Zichen asked listlessly, “What’s wrong, Dad?”
Wang Yunzhong stood at the door and didn’t enter. When he heard this, he said softly, “Nothing. Dad just wanted to ask if you have any difficulties in your studies. Many of my friends have hired tutors for their children. Why don’t Dad hire one for you to help you learn?”
When Wang Zichen heard this, he immediately leaned back in anger. Then, he said unhappily, “Dad, look at what time it is now. It’s eleven at night! I haven’t finished my homework! Do you still want to hire a tutor for me? Can’t you let me sleep?!”
“Can’t a tutor help you with your homework? If you have anything you don’t understand, you can ask!” Wang Yunzhong said.
“I don’t need it!” Wang Zichen muttered angrily. He looked down at the questions and said, “Don’t always focus on me. If you have the energy, show concern to Zimeng. How long has it been since you last saw her?”
Wang Yunzhong was stunned as if he didn’t expect his son to mention his daughter all so suddenly.
On second thought, that was true. He had not seen Zimeng for almost two months.
His son went to his sister’s house to eat dumplings yesterday and saw his daughter. Wang Yunzhong thought so and couldn’t help but ask, “Did Zimeng say something to you yesterday?”
“What else can she say?” Wang Zichen put down his pen and turned to look at Wang Yunzhong. “She’s just asking me about you. Doesn’t that mean she misses you?”
Wang Yunzhong nodded and sighed softly. After a while, he said, “Alright, I understand. Do your homework.”
After closing the door, Wang Yunzhong stood in the corridor and thought for a moment. He returned to his room and called Jiang Chunfen.
On the other end of the phone, Jiang Chunfen was already asleep. She answered the call in a daze, “What’s the matter…”
“Oh, I woke you up?” Only then did Wang Yunzhong realize that it was already past eleven.
