She looked up and gazed out the window into the distance.
The sunlight outside the window spilled onto the street, pedestrians hurried by, everything was as usual.
She murmured, "But I can sense that she and I will be very connected in the future."
Then he chuckled and said, "I can't predict the future, but I can predict some of the little girl's past from birth to now."
Thinking of the little boy that appeared on the tortoise shell, she knew at a glance that it was her little apprentice. Now, it was time to go find her little apprentice.
Thinking it over, he got up, sent a message talisman, and left, not caring whether anyone was watching in the shop.
A day later, Tian Shu appeared at the gate of the 56th Division's garrison. The soldier on guard saw her, saluted, and asked, "Comrade, who are you looking for?"
Tian Shu nodded to the soldier: "I'm looking for your brigade commander. Could you please inform him that Qing Xuanzi's friend, Tian Shu, is visiting?"
The soldier nodded, then immediately turned and ran into the guard post to make a phone call.
A moment later, Wei Guodong, dressed in military uniform, strode out. When he saw Tian Shu, he wondered what she wanted from him.
But she still smiled and stepped forward to ask, "May I ask who you are?"
To gain his trust, Tian Shu lied and said, "I am Qing Xuanzi's friend and also a member of the Xuanmen sect. As for my cultivation, it is much higher than Qing Xuanzi's."
Wei Guodong was even more puzzled: "I don't have any plans to seek help from a master right now."
Tian Shu knew he had misunderstood and said, "Qing Xuanzi said that you have a child who is over three years old and has a high talent for cultivating metaphysics, but you don't have a master-disciple relationship with him. Knowing that I want to take on a disciple, he introduced me here."
Wei Guodong was reluctant to let his only son leave him at such a young age. Besides, if he dared to agree, his wife would definitely shoot him.
He shook his head: "The child is too young, we can't bear to let him leave our side."
Besides, we don't even know if what this person said is true or false.
Tian Shu said, "I will not take him away for the time being. If you agree, I will teach him cultivation first. After he turns 6, I will come back to take him to learn magic."
Wei Guodong was very tempted, but six years old was still very young. The thought of his obedient son leaving him filled him with a thousand and one unwilling feelings.
Tian Shu played his trump card: "Don't you want your son to be on par with Qing Xuanzi's precious disciple?"
The celestial pivot is certain; people fear not having the opportunity to compare themselves to others. If they had the chance, they would never willingly let their children lag behind others.
Of course he wants to! He even hopes his son will marry her in the future! But if his son is an ordinary person, would Master Qingxuan agree?
Remembering something, Wei Guodong asked, "You know all this? Does Master Qingxuan know it too?"
Tian Shu gave him an amused look and asked, "What do you think?"
Is that what you mean by knowing?
Tian Shu continued, "If your son weren't a Xuanshu master, he wouldn't even have the chance to meet Qing Xuanzi's disciple."
He scratched his head awkwardly. No wonder Master Qingxuan looked at his son with such disdain that day.
But there's no use thinking about that now. He hesitated and said, "Master Tian Shu, could you give me a day so my wife and I can discuss it properly before making a decision?"
Tian Shu nodded readily: "Okay, I'll stay at your military region's guesthouse for two days. Come find me when you've made up your mind. If you don't agree, I'll leave in two days."
Wei Guodong said gratefully, "Thank you, Master. I'll take you to the guesthouse first."
"OK."
Wei Guodong personally escorted Tian Shu to the military region's guesthouse and arranged his accommodation before rushing back to his unit.
His feelings were incredibly complex all afternoon, a mixture of anticipation for his son's future and reluctance to let his son leave home at such a young age.
When it was time to get off work, he rushed home. Wei Guodong pushed open the door and saw his daughters doing their homework, while the housekeeper was playing with his son.
He asked, "Your mother hasn't come back yet?"
"not yet."
The eldest daughter, Wei Yuqin, the second daughter, Wei Yuqi, and the third daughter, Wei Yushu, all replied without raising their heads.
Just then, there was a noise at the door; Wan Qiong had returned.
When she returned home, she saw her husband looking preoccupied and assumed something serious had happened. She quickly asked, "Guodong, what's wrong? You look very troubled."
Wei Guodong sighed and said, "Come to the study with me, I have something to tell you."
Wei Jingqi ran to his mother, his eyes filled with longing for a hug.
Wan Qiong picked him up and followed her husband to the study. After they both sat down, Wei Guodong told Wan Qiong everything that had happened that day.
He explained in detail the purpose of Tian Shu's visit, as well as the demands and promises Tian Shu made.
After listening, Wan Qiong remained silent for a moment, knowing that her husband was tempted.
She asked, "What are you thinking?"
Wei Guodong looked at his wife, his voice low and heavy: "I'm conflicted! Our Jingqi is still so young, I can't bear to let him leave us so soon."
"But what Master Tian Shu said made me feel that this might be a good opportunity for Jingqi."
"Moreover, if Jingqi can really learn the skills, he might be able to marry Qingxuanzi's disciple in the future, which would be an incredible blessing for our family."
Wanqiong didn't want him to keep praising other people's children, as it made her feel like her own child was inferior to others.
But if my son finds a master who is even more powerful than Qing Xuanzi, then my son will be even more powerful than Rong Jiaojiao in the future.
Maybe it's Rong Jiaojiao who's chasing after her son, wanting to marry him!
Moreover, if her son learns those skills, he might be even more powerful than Qing Xuanzi, and her husband wouldn't have to envy Rong Lianhu so much anymore.
As for the separation, it's not like we can't see each other after we're apart. Besides, my son is already six years old and can remember things. We can ask him to come home more often each year.
Having convinced herself, she gently patted Wei Guodong's shoulder: "Guodong, I know you're reluctant. But you have to understand, Jingqi will grow up eventually, and we can't keep him by our side forever."
"If he really has talent, we can't deny him a better future just because we're reluctant to let him go, don't you think?"
Wei Guodong looked up at his bewildered son, his eyes filled with heartache: "But Jingqi is only three years old. How can he endure such hardship at such a young age?"
Wan Qiong said firmly, "Guodong, don't forget, we also came from hard times. Although Jingqi is small, he is still our son, and he is stronger than we imagine."
"Moreover, didn't Master Tian Shu say that she would teach the child cultivation first, and then take him away after he turns six? There are still a few years in between, so we can observe him slowly and see if he is really suitable for this path."
Wei Guodong was silent for a moment, then slowly nodded: "You're right, we can't let our reluctance jeopardize our child's future. But I'm also worried, what if Jingqi can't endure that kind of hardship, or what if he simply doesn't like metaphysics?"
Wan Qiong laughed and said, "You underestimate your son. He is very sensible and has a lot of opinions."
