In the days that followed, Shang Yanting remained at the Luqiu residence.
He's a genius who can even master both magic and martial arts on his own. When it comes to teaching, his eye for talent is naturally extremely sharp, and he modifies everything from techniques to mental cultivation methods.
The two siblings from Luqiu made tremendous progress in their cultivation, seemingly advancing by leaps and bounds each day.
The people in the manor treated Shang Yanting with increasing respect.
As Shang Yanting's favorite, Jia Xitong was naturally favored by Shang Yanting as well.
She's also a social butterfly; wherever she goes, she never forgets to make a heart shape with her hands or wave to those around her, or find a very flattering angle to face them.
She also discovered that her left side of her face looked best at a 25-degree angle.
With her fluffy and adorable appearance and temperament, Jia Xitong has won the hearts of men, women, and children of all ages, especially Luqiu Shiyi, who is hopelessly in love with raccoons.
Every day while Shang Yanting was training them, Jia Xitong would climb onto a bench at the edge of the training field to sunbathe.
When it was Luqiu Qiming's turn to train, Luqiu Shiyi would take advantage of the free time to sneak over to the stool and touch it a couple of times.
They even braided their hair into pigtails!
Fortunately, the raccoon was magnanimous and didn't hold it against her.
Half of the guidance time has passed.
The sun was shining brightly that day.
The steward of the manor suddenly brought in a man.
The man wore a dark red silk robe with a single embroidered thread and a ruby leather belt with a spider pattern. His hair was like clouds, and he had a cynical, ambiguous expression. As soon as he entered, he stared at the raccoon lying on the bamboo rattan chair.
Jia Xitong felt the intense gaze and looked at him.
The other person smiled slightly at her, waved the fan in their hand lightly, and turned to walk into the inner hall.
Who is it?
Jia Xitong felt like she had never seen this person before.
She stood up, found another spot, and squatted down like a cat in a farmer's pocket, gazing at Shang Yanting on the training ground—
Dear host, today is another day full of energy!
"You two, now practice as I say."
"Yes, sir."
The two spoke respectfully.
Shang Yanting slowly groped his way to the rattan chair, picked up the raccoon and placed it on his lap, then patted its back.
"Have you been waiting long?"
"It's alright."
Jia Xitong stepped on his thighs, then lay on top of him.
The interaction between the man and the beast was completely observed by the strange man in the inner room.
Lu Qiu Zheng was talking to him when he noticed his gaze and looked out the window. "That's Young Master Yan Qing, a disciple of the Holy Capital Academy."
He introduced him, saying, "Young Master Yan is highly skilled in movement and mental techniques, but unfortunately he is blind and needs the Linglong Lotus and Lingxu Grass to heal him. Young Master Huo, would you like me to help introduce you?"
Huo Rui was their biggest customer.
Seeing that he was somewhat interested in Yan Qing, Lü Qiu Zheng then spoke.
Huo Rui was very interested in Yan Qing. He stared at the man and beast on the rattan chair and said, "Is that his magical beast? They seem to have a good relationship."
"Yes, yes, Young Master Yan cares a lot about this little beast. He stays by its side every step of the way, eating and sleeping together. I have never seen a magical beast and its master with such a good relationship."
Luqiu Zheng nodded.
Under the sunlight, Yan Qing was holding the magical beast and whispering something to it. The little beast was holding Yan Qing's face with its paws, its upper body arched, and from the side, it looked as if it was about to kiss the tip of his nose.
Yan Qing smiled, her whole being bathed in light.
Luqiu Zheng felt that this was a pure, beautiful, and pleasing scene.
However, Huo Rui sensed something different and revealed a meaningful smile.
A moment later, he approached them and broke the heartwarming scene with his voice.
"Young Master Yan."
Shang Yanting and Jia Xitong both looked up at the same time.
"My name is Huo Rui, and I would like to invite you to my humble abode for a gathering tomorrow."
What?
Who is he?
Does Shang Yanting know him?
Does Huo Rui exist in the original novel?
A whole host of questions popped into Jia Xitong's head in an instant.
"Sorry, I'm busy."
Shang Yanting said calmly that he didn't know the man either.
"But I possess the Spirit Void Grass."
Huo Rui suddenly spoke, and Jia Xitong's previously droopy ears instantly perked up.
He actually has the Spirit Void Grass?
Offering unsolicited favors is either a sign of malice or theft.
Shang Yanting frowned slightly. "What is your purpose?"
"I had no particular purpose; I just hit it off with Young Master Yan at first sight."
Huo Rui looked down at Jia Xitong in his arms, "I feel like we might be kindred spirits."
A fellow traveler?
Looking at his smiling face, Jia Xitong inexplicably felt that his expression was a bit abnormal.
"If Young Master Yan Qing arrives at Lougong Garden at Shenshi tomorrow, the Lingxu Grass may belong to him."
After he finished speaking, he tapped the raccoon's head with his fan, "Your magical beast is quite well-behaved, just a bit small."
After saying that, he left.
Jia Xitong watched Huo Rui's departing figure with a serious expression. "Dear host, I feel... he might have taken a liking to me."
After all, she's cute, rich, and a master at drawing talismans.
In this world, there are bound to be people who can see beyond the surface and discover at a glance that the soul hidden beneath the raccoon's body is so extraordinary.
"Is he trying to steal me away?"
"This pervert seems to have a mysterious background; it looks like we've run into a problem."
Jia Xitong's mind was filled with all sorts of treasure-hunting stories, but in these stories, the treasure was herself. The thought of being so sought after actually gave her a little thrill.
"Dear host, what do we do now?"
"...You seem quite excited?"
"Oh, no way."
