"Mom, please let me take the Imperial Guard exam," Xia Tian pleaded firmly.

Xiong Ge turned around but didn't immediately agree. He just kept tidying up the messy clothes, but the more he folded them, the messier they became.

"Mom!" Xia Tian called out as she chased after her.

"I didn't say I disagreed, I just need to think about it some more, is that okay?" Xiong Ge was annoyed by his pestering and crumpled the clothes in her hands into a ball.

"But if you go, you'll have to go to school, practice guitar, and deal with the Imperial Guard. Won't you have even less time to spend with your sister? Have you thought this through?"

"Mom, please stop teasing me." Xia Tian blushed slightly when Xiong Ge mentioned Han, then said seriously, "I definitely have to go."

"As for Han, I'd like to take her with me, provided she's willing."

"I no longer want to be protected by everyone. I can't protect Han or my little sister anymore."

"What happened to my little sister?" Xiong asked when he heard him mention Xia Xiang. "Wasn't she perfectly fine this afternoon?"

"This..." Xia Tian realized that she had already let it slip.

Xiu and the others all tacitly agreed not to tell their mother that Xiaoying had been kidnapped again, but fortunately, Xiaoying was rescued by the Alliance Leader in time.

But I've already let it slip, so I can only tell my mom.

Xiong Ge breathed a sigh of relief, said nothing, and simply kicked Xia Tian out of her room.

Summer: Oh no, this is terrible! Where is Dad?

——

Xiong Ge flipped through the thick photo album alone, smiling as he wiped away tears. These were all photos that Xiao Ying took every week when she came back.

How could she not know? It's just that the kid seems to have really gotten used to keeping things from her.

When Xiaoying was a child and couldn't control her superpower index, she could sense that a child's superpower index would slowly increase from eight thousand.

In the end, she couldn't feel it anymore, which can only mean that she had already been able to control her superpower index flexibly, or that her superpower index was above hers.

She began to reflect on whether her decision to marry a Muggle and allow the Charlande family to retire from the world of superpowers was the right one. She really didn't want to put all the pressure on Hotaru, but then Hotaru encountered that kind of change when she was six years old.

Despite the Alliance Leader's repeated assurances that Xiao Ying was safe, just unable to return to the Iron Dimension for the time being, she was a mother, how could she not worry? So she and the Xia Lanxingde family officially retired from the world of supernatural abilities, considering it her way of escaping.

Later, Xiaoying finally returned, but so many things happened again—

"Knock knock knock"

Xiong Ge's thoughts were interrupted by a knock on the door.

"Enter"

"Hehe, my dear wife, aren't you surprised?" Ye Siren pulled out a bouquet of flowers from behind his back.

Ye Siren coaxed Xiong Ge for a while before he calmed down.

The final result was that Xia Tian, ​​Han, and Xia Mei all went to participate in the selection of the Imperial Guard. Xia Tian and Han wanted to go, while Xia Mei was forced to go.

——

Xia Xiang already knew all of this. After she returned, she told Xiong Ge about her upcoming trip to the Silver Dimension with Cao Jili and told her not to worry.

Xia Xiang was really afraid that Xiong Ge would be worried, so she subconsciously kept everything from her, not knowing that keeping things from her would make her even more worried.

She didn't doubt that her mother would stop her, nor did she distrust her or think of her as too weak.

However, she must feel guilty for not being able to be by her mother's side since she was a child, so how could she be so self-righteous in "causing trouble"?

That's why she secretly "caused trouble".

What else could Xiong Ge do? Like Xia Yu, Xiao Ying had always been very opinionated. She could decide what she wanted to do and was capable of taking responsibility for all her actions.

Parents understand that children won't stay by their side forever. They will soar to greater heights, and parents can only hope they fly higher and farther.

Xiaoying is just a child who flies earlier than other children. As Xiaoying's mother, she will be her strongest support.
