It's a pity... she's already thirty-eight or thirty-nine, and will officially be thirty-nine this year! Wang Yan is only thirty-one, right?... an eight-year age gap, she really can't accept it.
With a sigh, she finally uttered the words.
"General, it is already late, and my humble abode is full of women. It is really inconvenient for you to stay overnight!"
Upon hearing this, Wang Yan's hand, which was swinging his sword, suddenly paused. He then swiftly sheathed his sword with a clean and efficient movement, exuding a captivating charm! This immediately drew excited cheers from the two children beside him…
"Wow! Uncle is so handsome!! So amazing! He took it back in no time!!"
Little Muxing's eyes lit up with excitement; she was incredibly excited, her big eyes fixed intently on the longsword in Wang Yan's hand, her face filled with fascination...
Although Xiao Muyue didn't know martial arts, Wang Yan's stances just now were so excellent! They filled her with a sense of security! She also became excited...
The two little ones were quickly captivated by Wang Yan's irresistible handsomeness, their infatuated eyes staring straight at him, looking like they wanted to get closer but dared not.
Wang Yan stopped what he was doing and looked at Qin Qing. Noticing the aloofness in her eyes, he felt a surge of nervousness and worry. Then, hearing the two little ones calling out, he turned his head away with some displeasure…
"Wow! That look is so handsome!! Yueyue, look!!"
The two little ones let out a gasp of surprise and excitement, which made Qin Qing turn her head to look... She couldn't help but be shocked!
Are these two lovesick little crazy girls really her two well-behaved and sensible granddaughters?
Little did they know that since leaving their hometown, the family had encountered many dangers along the way, even nearly losing their lives many times, or witnessing their grandmother and mother being injured and separated...
The repeated crises have made the two little ones more sensitive and sensible than girls of the same age, and at the same time, they are more eager to become strong!
Finally, a man who looks strong and cool has appeared, and most importantly, he doesn't seem to have any ill intentions towards them! He also seems to know Grandma quite well. How could they not be happy?!
Wang Yan was taken aback! Normally, in the capital, let alone children, even young ladies from prominent families would blush and be afraid when they saw him. Why were these two little girls in front of him not afraid at all, and even so happy?
Immediately afterward, a hint of hesitation flashed across Xiao Muxing's face, as if she had been struggling with the decision for a moment before finally making up her mind!
"Uncle, can you teach me martial arts? I will definitely learn diligently!"
These words stunned not only Wang Yan, but even Qin Qing was speechless! She knew Xiao Muxing yearned for power, but she didn't want her adorable, innocent granddaughter to become a second Wang Yan! With that serious expression, how was she supposed to find a partner?!
As she thought about it, an image of a beautiful woman with a face similar to Mu Xing's, but with an expression exactly like Wang Yan's, flashed into her mind... Her face suddenly darkened. No! She absolutely could not allow her precious granddaughter to become a serious, expressionless, and scheming man!
"No! Absolutely not!"
Before Wang Yan could refuse, she spoke first and refused!
However, she regretted it the next second!
Upon hearing her strong rejection, Xiao Muxing turned her head away, her face filled with shock, grievance, and helplessness... her eyes immediately welled up with tears.
This was the first time Qin Qing had ever been harsh with Xiao Muxing!
Seeing the little girl's confused and helpless expression, Qin Qing felt extremely regretful, but this matter really needed to be carefully considered.
"Xingxing, Grandma knows what you're thinking, but this is no ordinary matter. You should think it over carefully. Swords have no eyes; one wrong move and you could lose your life!"
Hearing her gentle words of comfort, Xiao Muxing's expression immediately turned aggrieved, and large tears rolled down her face, but her gaze remained stubborn.
"But Xingxing wants to learn martial arts!"
Seeing this, Qin Qing felt even worse, but for a moment she didn't know how to start the conversation.
At this moment, Wang Yan suddenly spoke, his cold tone and serious expression were enough to scare people away!
"Why do you want to learn martial arts? Learning martial arts requires not only talent and physique, but also a strong and unyielding will, judgment, and execution ability. Do you have those?"
A normal person would definitely doubt themselves upon hearing this, and might even feel discouraged. However, the young girl in front of her raised her head, looking at the tall, serious man before her, a sense of pressure emanating from him…
Little Muxing stared at him with her big, bright red eyes, her clear voice echoing throughout the courtyard.
"I'm willing! I want to become stronger! I want to protect Grandma, I want to protect my sister and aunt, and I'll never let them be bullied again!"
At that moment, all around fell silent...
Qin Qing stared blankly at the little girl in front of her, who barely reached her waist. She was only six or seven years old…
The little girl seemed to sense Qin Qing's unusual behavior, turned to look at her, and took Qin Qing's hand with her small hand, her face full of persistence and heartache!
"Xingxing doesn't want Grandma to get hurt anymore. I know she almost died at Tian Tian's hands last time! If... if Xingxing can become strong, then no one will be able to bully Grandma..."
Her small face suddenly radiated a huge light, which made Qin Qing feel a surge of sadness, and her eyes suddenly reddened as she looked at her with a blurry gaze.
It was her negligence that put herself in danger each time, forgetting whether the little girl behind her would be scared and upset. They had already lost their mother; if something happened to her, what a blow it would be!
Her throat tightened slightly, and she could only lower her head sullenly, squat down, and speak softly.
"Aren't you afraid of the pain? Practicing martial arts can cause injuries, lots of bleeding, and it hurts a lot! Training is also very, very tiring, and you're still so young..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xiao Muxing shook her head firmly.
"Stars are not afraid! Stars can definitely do it!"
Upon hearing this, Qin Qing finally couldn't hold back her tears and burst into tears. She reached out and hugged her little granddaughter, feeling heartbroken.
Xiao Muyue also came over and tenderly wiped away Qin Qing's tears.
This heartwarming scene touched Wang Yan's eyes, gently softening his previously hardened heart.
"Little girl, I never agreed to teach you martial arts! My requirements for accepting disciples are very high!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Muxing crawled out of Qin Qing's arms and immediately knelt before Wang Yan, anxiously saying...
"Uncle, I can do it! I can definitely meet all your requirements!"
Seeing this, Xiao Muyue also knelt down!
"Yueyue wants to learn martial arts too!"
Qin Qing felt overwhelmed and, fearing she would make Xiao Muyue cry again, could only remain silent...
Seeing this, Wang Yan turned to leave, and the two little ones immediately panicked! Their faces were full of helplessness, which broke Qin Qing's heart!
"Wait a moment!"
After saying that, Wang Yan paused, turned slightly to the side, and faced half of her with his face, his eyes bright, but he did not say a word.
Qin Qing froze, feeling for some reason as if she had fallen into a trap! But when she saw her granddaughter's expectant eyes, she gritted her teeth.
