After being taken to Rong Yuan's palace, Feng Muwan was exhausted and fell asleep on Rong Yuan's dragon bed. She then removed a few of the luminous pearls from his palace.
No one objected to this, because objections were futile.
Rong Yuan led Rong Qi to the outer room, where the uncle and nephew played chess, enjoying this moment of peace and tranquility.
"Qi'er, have you and Huang'er really not considered going to the Tianling Continent? I heard that in the past two years, it seems that travel between the Tianwu Continent and the Tianling Continent has become very convenient."
Rong Qi shook his head: "No, Huang'er said that she grew up in the mountains and should cherish the hard-won time with her family, and so do I. I respect Huang'er's wishes very much because I also enjoy the process of raising a child."
Rong Yuan nodded after listening. In the end, it was the passing of his elder sister and brother-in-law that caused A Qi's regret, so he did not want Huang'er to have the regret of being separated from her relatives.
"What if Wanwan grows up a bit in the future?"
After all, the Tianling Continent is more abundant in spiritual energy than the Tianwu Continent, making it a place that even gods yearn for for cultivators.
Rong Qi placed a chess piece down: "Jiaojiao and I have discussed this. We will see what Wanwan's personal wishes are in the future. We will not force her. If Wanwan pursues the highest level of cultivation, then we will let her go. After all, the children's future is in her own hands. Whatever path she takes is something she will experience herself."
Rong Yuan continued to press, still uneasy: "Didn't you consider that if Wanwan were to go to the Heavenly Spirit Continent, you wouldn't go with her?"
“Uncle, you know that Jiaojiao and I both have people and things we can’t let go of. As for the future, we’ll have to see how things go, after all, Wanwan is only two years old. If Wanwan wants to go out and explore, then let her go, we’ll be her strongest support.”
Rong Yuan gave him an annoyed look: "Aren't you afraid that you'll get bullied when you go to unfamiliar places every night?"
Rong Qi said with great certainty, "We all believe in our daughter. She won't easily promise to take risks without absolute strength."
"You guys are really at ease."
While playing chess, Rong Qi replied, "Of course we trust our daughter. Besides, Uncle, you just said that travel between Tianling and Tianwu is now very smooth. Who knows, when Wanwan grows up, the two continents might merge. At that time, there won't be any need for adventures; it will just be a long journey. Children grow up, and they will eventually have to go out and gain experience."
Besides, he didn't believe his daughter would be bullied. She was only two years old, and he wanted to see what she would be like in the future.
"Uncle, it's your turn."
After listening to him finish speaking, Rong Yuan glanced at the chessboard casually, found an empty spot, and placed a piece.
“Aqi is right. After all, there are still more than ten years to go. Anything can happen in those ten years, not to mention the exchanges between continents. Sigh, the future belongs to the young. It’s time for me to retire and enjoy my old age.”
Rong Qi paused for a moment: "What, is Uncle preparing to abdicate?"
Rong Yuan nodded: "Yes, I have been on the throne for more than 20 years, it's time for me to take a break."
"Then Your Highness, you won't have any free time from now on. Uncle, you've lost."
Upon hearing his words, Rong Yuan quickly looked at the chessboard: "When did you place these two pieces here? I didn't know."
Rong Qi picked up the teacup beside him: "My uncle isn't concentrating on his chess game, what can I do?"
Rong Yuan cheated, scattering the chess pieces: "That doesn't count, let's play another game."
Rong Qi said dismissively, "Even if we play another game, your uncle won't win. It's your fault for being so indecisive. Your uncle should wait until after he abdicates and then work on improving his chess skills before playing against me. Otherwise, your uncle won't have a chance to win."
"Hmph, don't you know how to give way to the elderly?"
Rong Qi shook his head helplessly: "Uncle, if you want me to let you win at chess, what's the point of playing?"
Rong Yuan crossed his arms and glared at him: "You're getting more and more annoying. You're not as cute as our Wanwan at all."
Rong Qi looked at Rong Yuan with amusement. You think Wanwan is cute now, but when you find out how mischievous she is, she'll drive you crazy.
Rong Qi was about to say something when he was interrupted by a voice from inside the bedchamber.
"Father." Wanwan sat up on the dragon bed, rubbing her eyes with her little hands, and looked around at everything.
As soon as Wanwan's sweet little voice came out, Rong Qi and Rong Yuan's faces immediately became kind and gentle, as if they were afraid of scaring Wanwan who had just woken up.
“My dear Wanwan, your great-uncle is here.”
Rong Qi sighed helplessly. Wanwan was calling him "Father," so why was Uncle getting involved?
Forget it, I'll let it go for him considering his age!
