Du Jingyuan also took out a small box and said, "Grandmaster, I heard on the way here that Qingshuang also wants to learn how to grow medicinal herbs. I have some spiritual herb seeds here, so I'm giving them to my junior nephew Rong to practice with."
The seeds weren't valuable, so Leng Qianjue accepted them.
Du Jingyuan and An Ruolan chatted with Leng Qianjue for a while longer before bidding farewell and leaving with Du Qingshuang.
On the way back, the couple were still marveling, "Senior Brother Leng has taken on a disciple with exceptional talent!"
Du Qingshuang agreed: "Junior Sister Jiaojiao is already in the late stage of the Dao Realm. She might reach the Perfection of the Dao Realm next year, and break through to the Mage Realm the year after."
Du Jingyuan chuckled: "Breaking through to the Perfected Dao Realm next year is still possible, but breaking through to the Mage Realm the year after is not so easy."
Du Qingshuang retorted, "But Junior Sister Jiaojiao has great talent!"
An Ruolan smiled and said, "Qingshuang, your junior sister is indeed very talented, but cultivation cannot rely on talent alone; it also requires time and accumulation."
"It will indeed be difficult for her to break through to the Mage realm in two years, but as long as she maintains her current efforts, she will definitely be outstanding in the future."
Du Qingshuang nodded. Although she thought Rong Jiaojiao was very impressive, she also understood that her mother's words made a lot of sense: "Mother is right. I will work harder in the future and not be surpassed by my junior sister."
An Ruolan smiled and patted her head, then turned to her husband and said, "Our daughter is completely captivated by Junior Nephew Leng's talent."
Du Jingyuan smiled and said, "I think that child is self-disciplined. It won't hurt for Qing Shuang to play with her."
An Ruolan nodded...
Rong Jiaojiao was very happy to receive the seeds from Du Jingyuan. Leng Qianjue asked her in confusion, "Shouldn't you like the robe more?"
Leng Qianjue had seen the robe; it was embroidered with exquisite patterns, every stitch and thread revealing ingenuity and craftsmanship.
Rong Jiaojiao said, "Grandmaster, I already have a robe, but I don't have a small herb garden yet. Senior Sister Qingshuang's herb garden is so beautiful."
Leng Qianjue understood; it turned out that he had gone out and seen other people's small medicinal herb gardens and was envious.
"So where do you plan to open your medicinal herb garden?"
Rong Jiaojiao replied matter-of-factly, "Of course it's my master's courtyard!"
Seeing Leng Qianjue looking at her with an indescribable expression, Rong Jiaojiao asked, "What's wrong, Grandmaster?"
Leng Qianjue said in a disdainful tone, "Your master's courtyard is full of main roots, which is not suitable for growing spiritual herbs at all. Why don't you cultivate with your grandmaster? Your grandmaster will give you a medicinal herb garden."
Rong Jiaojiao's eyes darted around, and she looked at him expectantly: "Grandmaster, I heard from Master that you are going to guard the Demon Sealing Array. Is it fun there?"
Leng Qianjue tapped her on the head: "It's dark and gloomy there, and you have to kill demonic spirits split off from evil spirits every day. Is that a place you can go?"
"Go practice your swordsmanship, then take a medicinal bath."
Rong Jiaojiao covered her head and let out an "oh," sighing inwardly, "Another day when I want to kiss my master."
His master happened to be in Bing City, so he took some time to visit Anyang Town.
Rong Lianhu's family was having dinner at home when they heard the soldier on guard say that someone claiming to be their daughter's master was looking for them. The four of them dropped their bowls and chopsticks and ran outside.
No one asked clearly whether Qing Xuanzi was alone or with Rong Jiaojiao.
Rong Zhigao was already seventeen years old, a big young man. He pushed a bicycle and ran outside.
Rong Zhiyuan reacted quickly, jumping onto the back of his seat and speeding towards the entrance of the family compound.
Rong Lianhu also wanted to run away, but he had to wait for Fu Ya. Once Fu Ya got on the car, they rode off too.
Inform their young soldiers...
Silently, I sent a mental message to Rong Lianhu and his family: "Deputy Regiment Commander Rong, are you even being polite?"
Despite offering his greetings, he was still very curious about what was going on between them, so he took off running as fast as he could towards the entrance of the family compound.
And you know what? His two legs weren't much slower than two wheels. Rong Lianhu and the others had just arrived when the young soldier followed right behind.
However, seeing the dispirited state of Rong Lianhu's family, I became particularly curious and listened carefully before realizing: "Oh, they thought their precious daughter had returned, but only her master showed up."
The family of four looked disappointed, but still greeted each other politely.
Rong Zhiyuan then asked, "Uncle Qingxuan, when will my sister be able to come back?"
Qing Xuanzi patted his shoulder: "Not bad, you've grown quite a bit taller. Jiaojiao needs to wait until I get back to prepare and take him home."
"When are you going back?"
The four of them looked on with anticipation, as if they wished he would fly back to the immortal mountain immediately and bring Rong Jiaojiao back.
Qing Xuanzi shook his head: "I have a mission to complete this time, and my return date is uncertain."
Although somewhat disappointed, Rong Lianhu still asked, "Brother Qingxuan, is there something you need this time?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded, and Fu Ya pulled Rong Lianhu back, who was about to ask more questions: "Brother Qing Xuan probably hasn't eaten yet. Let's go home and talk."
Rong Lianhu quickly nodded: "Yes, yes, Brother Qingxuan, let's go inside and talk."
Qing Xuanzi waved his hand, saying, "I have other things to do. I just took some time to bring you some things, so I won't go in."
He took out a jade box and handed it to Rong Lianhu: "Inside are the Yuanli Vermilion Fruits that Jiaojiao gave you. They can help you break through bottlenecks. One fruit is enough for minor bottlenecks, and two to three for major bottlenecks."
"If you can't finish it, just put it in the jade box. It won't spoil, and the energy inside won't be lost."
Rong Lianhu accepted the jade box and said gratefully, "Thank you so much! Brother Qingxuan, this fruit must be very precious, right?"
Qing Xuanzi smiled and said, "It's not too precious, but Jiaojiao thought of you and gave it to you."
Fu Ya asked worriedly, "Brother Qingxuan, Jiaojiao is on the mountain with you on this mission. Will she be able to handle it?"
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Don't worry, Jiaojiao made friends there, and she cultivates under my master's guidance, so she's much stronger than me."
Fu Ya said anxiously, "But Jiao Jiao's situation is special..."
Qing Xuanzi waved his hand: "She understands all of that, and besides, I will go back as soon as possible."
Hearing this, Fu Ya nodded, though she still had some worries in her heart: "That's good, we'll wait for your good news."
Qing Xuanzi nodded: "Alright, I have something to do, so I'll be leaving now."
Just as he was about to turn and leave, he stopped and instructed, "Little Fu can't eat that Vermilion Fruit, or he'll burst his meridians."
"Yes, we've got it."
The Rong family had gotten used to Qing Xuanzi's hurried comings and goings, and only turned to go home after watching him leave.
The next day, Rong Jiaojiao was greeted by seven resentful little faces and one cute face that was both embarrassed and ingratiating.
Rong Jiaojiao blinked and asked, "What do you mean?"
Leng Tianyou snorted, "Junior Uncle, you're not being fair. You took Du Qingshuang with you while you were sensing spatial power, but you didn't take us with you."
