From the periphery to the key, everyone wants to monopolize these resources, and everyone is also afraid of having these resources monopolized by others.
Shang Yanting's status changed overnight.
Even if he were willing to hand over the Wanqi clan to Qu Haifeng now, the other two deans would not be willing.
These days, seeing the dean frequently has become the norm.
How Wan Qijing died was no longer their concern; they only cared about how much these forces could ultimately devour and whether they could take it all for themselves.
All three parties offered various benefits to Shang Yanting.
Unfortunately, they still don't understand Shang Yanting's heart—
His goal is to reach the same level as them.
##
Shang Yanting is very busy these days.
After finishing work every day, she also has to take care of Jia Xitong.
Although Li Tuo came to examine Jia Xitong's pulse every day, he was not trusted. Except when Jia Xitong was in human form and underwent a fixed-time physical examination, Jia Xitong was always in his bedchamber.
Shang Yanting naturally spent the most time with her, and thus confirmed something he had been unwilling to be certain of a couple of days ago—
It seems like his son, Tongbao, has some mental issues.
It can eat, drink, and use the toilet on its own.
My memory is okay.
My health is getting better and better.
They just occasionally do things that are hard to understand.
For example, she would tap Li Tuo on the head every time they met. Every time Li Tuo treated her, she would tap him on the head, and she even wanted to create a special tool for tapping people on the head.
If it were a normal thin tub, she would lie in bed and sweetly thank the doctor.
For example, how she treats herself.
A normal baby would call him "host dear, host dear" repeatedly, and would always care about whether he was eating well, sleeping well, being healthy, and in a good mood.
Instead of referring to him as "Shang Yanting" all the time.
All she cares about now is whether she can raise her big toe when she's in human form; whether she can spin her tail quickly to create an airflow and fly into the sky when she's in raccoon form; and whether she can jump onto his chest in the middle of the night and say something like, "Screw sleeping, get up and party!"
At once……
All of this felt very unfamiliar and strange.
"I think the young fellow cultivator's head is still damaged, but it hasn't affected her memory; it's just made her thinking a bit strange."
In other words, they've become stupid.
Can this be cured?
Shang Yanting pursed his lips slightly and looked at him with a serious expression.
"It's a bit difficult."
Li Tuo, his forehead swollen from being knocked, said, "The brain is the most important part of the human body, especially since it's connected to the sea of consciousness. If she were mentally challenged enough, she might be easier to treat. But this kind of mental challenge, which isn't obvious, makes it difficult to find the lesions, and it's very hard to treat."
I accidentally blurted out my true feelings.
Upon hearing the word "stupid," Shang Yanting immediately became displeased. "She's not stupid; she just thinks differently from ordinary people."
"Yes, yes, that's exactly what I meant."
Li Tuo gave a forced, dry laugh and echoed his sentiments.
Peak Master Yan Qingfeng truly couldn't bear to hear even the slightest negative comment about this girl.
"Alright, you can go now."
Seeing his expression, Shang Yanting felt somewhat annoyed and pushed open the door to the bedroom alone.
Xitong wastes all his energy at night, sleeping soundly during the day.
She was as well-behaved as ever when she was asleep.
It's okay if you're not well-behaved.
He reached out and took Jia Xitong's hand, holding it tightly in his palm, and whispered to himself, "Even if I become more foolish, I will still love you."
No sooner had he finished speaking than the person who had been asleep suddenly sprang to his feet.
"Ha! I heard that."
Shang Yanting instinctively reached out to support her, and her startled appearance made people want to facepalm.
But he was more concerned about what he had just said. "You heard everything?"
"Hmph, while you were talking outside the door, I was eavesdropping right there at the door."
Jia Xitong blew on the finger she often used to flick Li Tuo's forehead, "This little brat actually spread rumors that I'm stupid. Humph, it seems he hasn't been taught a lesson enough!"
I'm so smart,
I'm in the atmosphere right now!
He's talking nonsense again.
Upon hearing this, Shang Yanting paused for a moment, then said, "Are you sure you're very smart?"
Jia Xitong narrowed her eyes. "You little brat. Isn't that the truth?"
"Astronomy, geography, math, English—test me if you don't believe me."
Shang Yanting: "Do you know who wrote 'The God of Evil'?"
"The God of Slaughter"?
What is that?
Jia Xitong stared at Shang Yanting for several seconds, as if she were squatting on the toilet, then clapped her hands and said, "Just ask the question when I tell you to. I've trained you to be so obedient, aren't you smart?"
Is this clever?
This is cheating.
Shang Yanting didn't know how many times he had sighed, and urged her to get ready quickly, "Yes, yes, you're the smartest, you're incredibly smart."
"Shang Yanting, you insulted me!"
Jia Xitong pointed at him with her finger raised.
How come being smart has become an insult?
He pressed her finger down, "Fine, fine, you're a clever little thing, okay?"
You despise me!
She pressed down one finger, and now she holds up two.
The old-fashioned little bucket was a little angel; the current-fashioned little bucket is a little tyrant.
Shang Yanting felt wronged, and he couldn't help but poke her head with his index finger, "You little rascal."
"You poked me!"
"Shang Yanting, you actually poked me!"
With just this small gesture, Jia Xitong's eyes widened again.
Her lips also pursed up.
Tears welled up in her eyes, making her look like she could burst into tears at any moment.
"I didn't even dare to tap you on the head, and you actually poked me!"
