Yan Xi thought for a moment and shook her head. "It's fine if I have it, but it doesn't matter if I don't." She didn't really want it, but she was afraid that her parents would be sad if she told them.
After all, no child wants a younger sibling to share their affection.
But isn't it a bit inappropriate for her to think like this?
Yan Xi's expression changed as she thought about it, and she began to feel frustrated.
Seeing this, Shu Jianyue gently stroked the back of her neck and said, "Xixi, younger brothers and sisters don't come so easily."
"If we do, it means we are destined to meet him, just like Wuyan. Otherwise, we wouldn't have met him, right?"
"So, if we have him, we'll take good care of him as he grows up; if we don't, we won't be sad."
"Xixi and Yu'er have always been their parents' darlings, and even if they have younger siblings, they will still be their parents' darlings."
"Really?" Yan Xi looked up at her.
Shu Jianyue smiled and nodded, "Xixi is irreplaceable. She is a very, very important treasure in her parents' hearts."
He then kissed her forehead.
Yan Xi narrowed her eyes and let out a soft, babyish cry.
Chong Jiu embraced the mother and daughter, feeling a sense of fulfillment.
?…………?
Yu Chuan went out and played with Tian Kong for a few days before remembering that he hadn't seen his mother in a long time, and returned to Qionglai Peak.
However, just when he thought he could see his beautiful mother, he was told that his parents had gone into seclusion and left him with a junior brother to take care of.
Yu Chuan looked down at Xiao Wuyan, who barely reached his thigh, and after a long while, he looked at Gu Yunxiao and asked, "Grandmaster, are you sure it was Mother who asked me to take care of Wuyan?"
If my mother were of sound mind, she would never have made such a decision.
Gu Yunxiao looked away and nodded seriously, "Of course."
Wu Yan said speechlessly, "Grandmaster, Master clearly told you to take care of me."
Although his master had told him before, he didn't want to follow his senior brother, and he didn't agree to it.
Gu Yun smiled and winked at him, signaling him not to reveal his secrets.
Yu Chuan smiled and said, "Grandmaster, don't try to wink at me, I saw it all."
"Moreover, Wuyan is with me, but I can't teach him anything. It's different if he's with you. You can teach him alchemy."
Wu Yan cried out in his heart, "Master, please come out of seclusion soon! My grandmaster and senior brothers are kicking me around like a sepak takraw ball!"
Gu Yun chuckled, then choked back a sob. "You unworthy grand-disciple, what's wrong with asking you to mentor your junior brother?"
"Master, is this how you train Wuyan?" Shu Jianyue walked out of the room, glanced at Gu Yunxiao, and then glared at Yuchuan.
"Yu'er, from today onwards, you are not allowed to go out and wander around without my permission."
"And Master, your cultivation level is still only at the third level. You've been lazy and passive. Starting today, you must cultivate properly. I'll check on you."
As soon as she said that, Gu Yunxiao and Yuchuan both deflated.
Gu Yunxiao knew that she had been restless lately, mainly because she felt a sense of security under Shu Jianyue's protection and without any sense of pressure, so she became lazy.
If one has a strong sense of responsibility within the Hunyuan Immortal Sect and doesn't strive for improvement, their position within the sect is likely to be replaced by someone else.
And by Shu Jianyue's side, there was always a feeling of having a protective umbrella.
Come to think of it, there's no such thing as a master staying under the protection of a disciple; everyone is a disciple staying under the protection of their master.
Gu Yunxiao nodded solemnly, "Yes, I understand. I will cultivate with those boys and won't let my disciple lose face."
After saying that, he teleported to the place where Yun Zhongtian and the others were cultivating.
As soon as he left, Shu Jianyue realized she had spoken too harshly and looked at Chong Jiu, asking, "Did I say something wrong?"
Chong Jiu shook his head. "No, Master should focus on his cultivation. He knows that himself."
“He hasn’t cultivated much since he came to the Eight Desolations, and the younger generation is almost catching up with him.”
Shu Jianyue nodded, then, noticing out of the corner of her eye that Yu Chuan was about to slip away, she said coldly, "Yu Chuan, where are you going?"
Yu Chuan was completely stunned. It's over!
His mother had almost never called him by his full name, so when she did, she felt that something terrible was about to happen.
"Hehe, Mom, Dad, you've come out of seclusion."
"Are you blind? We've been out for so long and you haven't seen us?" Shu Jianyue grabbed his ear and pinched it.
"And what did I just say? You dare to run away? Try running away and see if I can break your legs."
Perhaps it was because she was too obedient in the past, which created a stark contrast with her current behavior, that she immediately felt the annoyance of her unruly child.
Yu Chuan wanted to shake his head, but his ear was still in Shu Jianyue's hand, so he could only cry out, "Mother, I won't do it again, let go quickly, my junior brother is still watching."
My ears don't hurt, but it's so embarrassing!
"Heh." Shu Jianyue chuckled coldly and withdrew her hand, ultimately giving him face.
He turned around, picked up Wuyan, and asked, "Wuyan, are you finished reading the book that Master gave you?"
Wu Yan glanced at Yu Chuan and, seeing that he was lively and energetic again, felt relieved.
He nodded and said, "I've finished reading it, but there are two things I don't understand."
"If you don't understand those two points, Master will teach you." Shu Jianyue didn't even glance at Yuchuan before carrying Wuyan away.
Yu Chuan pouted and looked at Chong Jiu, "Dad..."
“Calling me ‘father’ won’t help. You dare to disobey your mother. What’s the use of begging me?” Chong Jiu pulled up a chair and sat down.
He gestured for him to sit down.
Yu Chuan pulled up a chair and sat down in front of him.
Chong Jiu said slowly, "If you want to live a good life in the future, you must listen to your mother's words. Otherwise, even your father can't help you."
He wouldn't risk offending his wife to save his son.
"Also, haven't you been too lazy lately? All you do is follow Chaotian around and wander around with the sky."
