"Master, what’s wrong? Did Xiaoqi do sothing wrong?"
"No, it’s just an annoying person."
"Does Master dislike Daddy so much?"
"Kid, don’t ddle in adult affairs, focus on your cultivation."
Yao’Er glared at him. Had it been before yesterday, she would definitely have badmouthed Chen Xuan in front of Xiaoqi, but now... forget it.
After all, it’s a matter between adults; she doesn’t want to involve children.
This shows that she actually values Xiaoqi a lot.
"Always like this. Yesterday Daddy did the sa, cursed once, but wouldn’t say more."
Xiaoqi mumbled softly.
However, Yao’Er pretended not to hear and didn’t respond.
...
Day by day passed.
Xiaoqi ca to Yao’Er’s place to cultivate every day, and she guided him diligently.
Ning Xin would deliver so delicious food there daily.
Sotis pastries, sotis fruits, so snacks...
Over ti, with frequent visits, Yao’Er’s attitude began to change gradually.
From saying nothing at the beginning, to later thanking, and now she even calls her Sister Ning Xin.
As for Chen Xuan... still the sa as before, cold and unchanging.
In the room.
Spiritual Power enveloped Xiaoqi completely, and it was quite agitated.
However, Yao’Er had a faint smile on her face.
Because... he was about to have a Realm Breakthrough.
And only in half a month’s ti.
Half an hour later.
"Boom!"
The Spiritual Power instantly doubled in size, indicating that Xiaoqi formally reached the Mid-Stage Xuan Rank.
In the study, Chen Xuan imrsed in contemplation suddenly opened his eyes.
"A breakthrough?"
The tone was incredulous. How long had it been, and already at Mid-Stage Xuan Rank.
"No wonder he’s the disciple of the National Preceptor, indeed impressive."
Chen Xuan couldn’t help but sigh.
This is also why most experts co from the Imperial City.
Whether it’s the environnt, resources, or other aspects, it’s far beyond comparison to elsewhere.
...
At dusk, after finishing his contemplation, Chen Xuan didn’t return to Ning Garden but went to Yao’Er’s place.
He saw the open door.
Xiaoqi was sitting on the floor, still in cultivation.
Yao’Er sat opposite him, slowly opening her eyes.
Their gazes t.
Chen Xuan imdiately put on a smile, but Yao’Er’s expression suddenly turned icy.
Xiaoqi seed to sense sothing amiss, ending his cultivation and opening his eyes.
He looked around and his face lit up, shouting loudly, "Daddy, why did you co?"
Chen Xuan walked in with a smile, looking at him with relief, "But, reaching the Mid-Stage Xuan Rank in such a short ti."
He patted his little head with a big hand.
"It’s all thanks to Master’s good teaching. Whenever Xiaoqi doesn’t understand many things, Master patiently explains to ."
Children are simple; they imdiately show appreciation when treated well.
"Thank you."
Chen Xuan looked at Yao’Er and genuinely expressed his gratitude.
However... Yao’Er turned her head, not showing him a good face despite his thanks.
Chen Xuan wasn’t embarrassed, and instead looked at Xiaoqi, "You go back to Ning Garden. Tonight, let Aunt make you sothing delicious."
Xiaoqi looked back at him, then at Yao’Er, and though young, he guessed Daddy wanted to talk to Master.
He first bowed to Yao’Er, then nodded to Chen Xuan, even made a cheering gesture, and quickly left the room.
After he left, Yao’Er, who didn’t want to pay attention to him, prepared to step into the inner room, but Chen Xuan called her back.
"Miss Yao’Er, let’s have a chat."
He spoke first as he sat down, and Yao’Er coldly looked at him, "What do we have to talk about?"
"Sit down!"
Chen Xuan raised his eyebrow slightly, his voice suddenly raised, almost commanding.
"You..."
Yao’Er glared at him coldly, then snorted, but still sat across from him.
"That’s better!"
Chen Xuan’s face once again showed a smile, picked up the teapot, poured a cup of tea, waved gently, and the teacup steadily landed in front of Yao’Er. Then he poured himself a cup, raised it slightly towards her, "Have so tea, cool down."
Then drank it down.
As for Yao’Er... she didn’t move, her eyes coldly watching him, "What exactly do you want?"
"Would you believe if I said I want to reconcile with you?"
Chen Xuan restrained his smile, asked seriously.
"Reconciliation is possible! But first, release my soul control, otherwise, no discussion!"
Controlling her life and death, a word to turn animosity into cordiality?
Things aren’t that simple!
If she weren’t truly fond of Xiaoqi, she’d have inford the National Preceptor long ago. If he dared to touch her, he’d also have to face the National Preceptor’s wrath.
No one would have a good ti.
Though she’s afraid of death, should he dare to use soul control once more, it would be fish dead, net torn; she wouldn’t hesitate.
"Seems Xin’Er guessed right."
Chen Xuan thought to himself.
After all, she’s a genius, despite always being in the Imperial City, never experiencing the dangers of the world, initially intimidated by him, but the longer ti passed, she realized.
She calculated that he wouldn’t dare lay hands on her.
The reason she hasn’t told the National Preceptor, firstly is because he hasn’t threatened her with soul control again, and secondly Xiaoqi’s talent likely moved her.
No!
It’s probably her loyalty to Great Yu that gave her such an idea!
But even so... soul control for now certainly can’t be undone for her, but a promise can be made.
