The martial arts he is currently practicing is called "Hunyuan Zhenjing", which was discovered on a wonton stall. At that time, the "Hunyuan Zhenjing" which didn't even have a cover was used by the old man selling wontons to pad the table.

That was the first time the evil poison in his body broke out. He lost control and somehow ran onto the stall, overturning the old man's table.

The old man grabbed him and demanded compensation. How could he pay when he couldn't even control himself?

Oddly enough, when the poison took effect, even the palace guards couldn't control him, but he just couldn't break free from the old man's grip.

Before he completely lost his mind, the old man suddenly let out a surprised cry and picked up the tattered "Hunyuan Zhenjing" from the ground, "Do as I say!"

Then the old man read the "Hunyuan Zhenjing" to him.

Every word he said went straight into his mind like the sound of a huge bell, and it was useless even if he covered his ears.

Unable to escape nor defeat the old man, he simply started practicing as he was told.

Who would have thought that after practicing, the evil poison in his body was suppressed, and he gradually calmed down and returned to normal.

Since then, he has been practicing "Hunyuan Zhenjing" till now.

There are three levels in the "Hunyuan Zhenjing", and each level is divided into ten layers. I heard from the old man that this martial arts book has a total of ten levels. He doesn't have all of them, but if he can practice to the second level in his lifetime, it would be a great honor.

And in fact, this is indeed the case. More than ten years have passed, and he is still stuck at the ninth level of the first stage, unable to break through to the tenth level, let alone the second level.

But just now, he broke through the barrier that had always been there and reached the tenth level of the first stage.

Gu Xueting felt the ethereal and mysterious internal force in his body. He raised his hand to call over an apricot blossom in the yard and injected his internal force into it.

The apricot blossoms, which were originally buds, bloomed layer by layer in his palm.

In the room, Shen Yizhi and Qing Bao had already fallen asleep.

Gu Xueting walked to the door, listened attentively to the breathing of the mother and son, and felt at peace in his heart.

Then he moved a chair to the door and sat there, closing his eyes and meditating.

Early in the morning, when Shen Yizi opened the door, he was startled to see someone sitting at the door.

"You, what are you doing sitting at the door?"

Gu Xueting woke up from his meditation, his pair of black eyes were restrained, clear and bright. In the dim morning light, he was so handsome that Shen Yizhi's legs went weak.

When he looked at her like that, she suddenly felt a hunger from the depths of her soul——

Want to eat him! Afraid of being noticed by him, she quickly walked around him and asked in a veiled way, "What do you want to eat in the morning?"

"Whatever you cook is delicious, I can eat it."

Shen Yizhi: “…”

Could you please not tease her so early in the morning?

She won't be able to control herself and pounce on him!

After breakfast, Gu Xueting wiped Qing Bao's mouth.

Shen Yizhi looked at him, hesitant to speak.

"What do you want to say?"

"Why haven't you left yet? Do you want to stay in my house forever?" Although she would love to, it is impossible, so she didn't hold out any hope.

Gu Xueting looked at her steadily, then suddenly smiled, and said in a leisurely tone: "My lady, are you disgusted with your husband so quickly?"

Before Shen Yizhi could say anything, he pretended to be pitiful to Qing Bao again: "Baby, what should we do? Your mother wants to drive Dad away..."

Qing Bao grabbed his big hand and said, "No!"

Gu Xueting lowered his head, rubbed his face with the tip of his nose, and said lovingly: "Okay, Daddy won't leave."

Qing Bao hugged his face and kissed him. Gu Xueting was so happy with his kiss that his whole body was filled with obvious joy.

Shen Yizhi couldn't bear to watch it anymore and stood up: "Gu Xueting, come with me."

She had to have a good talk with him.

When they got to the yard, Gu Xueting leaned against the apricot tree leisurely and asked, "What do you want to tell me?"

Shen Yizhi sighed deeply as he looked at him, whose casual posture was so charming that it made the world pale in comparison.

"Gu Xueting, we all know that you are not Qingbao's father, so don't give him a wrong impression. Don't make random promises to him just because he is young. What if you can't do it and his young heart is hurt?"

"Who said I made random promises to him? Everything I said to him came from my heart. I never lied to him."

"You're still saying no? Qingbao is young, are you also young? Why would you respond when he calls you dad?"

"Because I want to be his father."

Shen Yizhi suddenly opened his eyes wide. What did he mean by that? The next sentence he heard was Gu Xueting: "I've thought about it. I want to recognize Qingbao as my adopted son."

Shen Yizi felt as if his heart had suddenly broken into eight pieces.

She was really being too sentimental just now.

"I don't agree." If you want to be the father of my child, you have to be a man to me!

You want to snatch the spot of my child's father? Dream on! Shen Yizhi turned around and left angrily.

Gu Xueting held her back, "Why don't you agree? This is a good thing for Qing Bao."

Shen Yizhi sneered, "Who do you think you are? Do you think we should be grateful to you just because you adopted Qingbao as your adopted son? You take yourself too seriously! I can take good care of Qingbao by myself, let go!"

Gu Xueting frowned as she entered the room. Why did she suddenly get angry? After that, Shen Yizhi kept Qingbao by her side, not allowing him to contact Gu Xueting, and not allowing him to call him dad. Once Qingbao made a mistake, she would cry in front of him!

Although Qing Bao is very close to Gu Xueting, how can she compare to her biological mother Shen Yizi?

As soon as she saw her mother crying, she immediately forgot about Gu Xueting.

Seeing this, Gu Xueting finally understood that this woman was afraid that he would snatch Qing Bao's attention from her.

How childish.

Forget it, he won’t argue with her, but he will definitely be Qingbao’s father.

After living for so many years, this was the first time he was so close to another person.

As soon as he saw the little brat, his heart softened and he unconsciously wanted to be nice to him.

It was noon, and Shen Yizi gave Qing Bao a few instructions, which were nothing more than telling him to stay away from Gu Xueting and ignore him, and then went into the kitchen to cook.

She made up her mind that she and Qing Bao would cook at noon, and as for Gu Xueting, just let him have nothing to do!

Gu Xueting followed her in and held her hand as she was cutting vegetables. "Don't cook for lunch. Let's go to the village chief's house to eat."

"Why?"

Just then, Aunt Zhao, the village head's wife, came.

"Qingbao, are you playing with ponies? Where are your parents?"

Qing Bao called her, "Mother-in-law."

Aunt Zhao's face immediately lit up with smiles, "Hey! Qingbao is so sensible!"

She touched Qingbao's head lovingly.

Shen Yizhi heard the noise and came out. "Auntie, you're here? Come in and sit down. I'll pour you some tea."

"What are you sitting for? Come on, come on, the banquet has already started, and you are the only ones missing. I'll take Qing Bao over first."

Just pick up Qingbao and leave.
