Chapter 33 Shopping
Chapter 33 Shopping
"Duke Nangong, you are really steady. You can be so low-key even though your son has such great talent." Huo Cheng said enviously. If his son had such talent, he would have shouted about it to the sky. But Nangong Tao didn't say a word, let alone celebrate.
"Talent cannot determine everything. It still depends on his own efforts." Nangong Tao said modestly, but this is also what he really thinks. In Nangong Tao's heart, although talent is important, hard work is more important. If you don't work hard, no matter how good your talent is, it will be useless.
Nangong Jing saw Nangong Tao glance at him while he was speaking, and he knew that Nangong Tao was pointing out that he was worried that he would become proud and complacent because of his good talent.
If Nangong Jing was a real child, he might be proud, but he is not a real child. How could an old fox in the guise of a child make such a mistake?
"My child will definitely work hard to live up to this talent." No matter what happens at home, she still has to give face to Nangong Tao outside.
Nangong Tao had a hint of surprise in his eyes when he saw Nangong Jing answering him respectfully. He obviously didn't expect Nangong Jing to say that, but it had to be said that Nangong Jing's answer still made Nangong Tao very satisfied.
Huo Cheng felt even more envious of Nangong Jing's sensible performance. However, no matter how envious he was, he still had to do his work. All the tests that needed to be conducted had already been completed. The next thing to do was to input Nangong Jing's information into the special crystal token, and then the registration would be completed.
Huo Cheng took out a crystal token and then used his mental power to input Nangong Jing's information into it. Finally, he asked Nangong Jing to input a mental power into the token. One was to recognize the owner, and the other was to leave a mental power so that even if it was lost, others could know who the token belonged to by looking at the mental power.
"Okay, Mr. Nangong's token has been made. Please keep it." Huo Cheng bent down slightly and handed the token to Nangong Jing.
Nangong Jing took the token with both hands, then bowed slightly to Huo Cheng to express his gratitude.
Huo Cheng noticed Nangong Jing's actions, and the smile in his eyes became even more intense. This humble and polite child is always more likable.
It was not known whether Nangong Tao was very satisfied with Nangong Jing's performance today, so after walking out of the gate of the Imperial Capital Union, Nangong Tao actually asked Nangong Jing if he wanted to go for a walk on the street before returning home.
Nangong Jing was very surprised when he heard Nangong Tao's question, but when he saw Nangong Tao looking at him seriously and didn't seem to be joking, Nangong Jing realized that Nangong Tao was serious.
To be honest, Nangong Jing had never gone shopping alone with Nangong Tao in his past and present lives. It would be a lie to say that he didn't yearn for it. Even if Nangong Jing had resentment towards Nangong Tao, it could not erase Nangong Jing's yearning for the father-son relationship with Nangong Tao.
"The Seventh Prince's birthday will be soon. If I have time today, I might as well find a gift for him." Nangong Jing really wanted to go shopping with Nangong Tao, but he felt it was a bit embarrassing to agree directly, so he found an excuse for himself. It was not because he wanted to go shopping with Nangong Tao, but because Xuanyuan Xingyao's birthday was coming soon, and he had to prepare a gift for him. Yes, that's it.
Nangong Tao looked at Nangong Jing's stubborn expression with a hint of smile in his eyes, but he didn't point out that Xuanyuan Xingyao's birthday was next month, so he still had plenty of time to prepare a gift.
Nangong Tao could see that Nangong Jing was sometimes very concerned about his reputation, especially when facing him, as if bowing to him would mean losing face and being a loser. Sometimes Nangong Tao didn't understand who Nangong Jing resembled in this temperament.
Nangong Tao signaled the driver to go back first, and then picked him up in front of Nangong Jing's surprised eyes.
Nangong Tao felt a little uncomfortable when he saw Nangong Jing's shocked look. Was it necessary for him to be so shocked when he hugged his own son?
"Your legs are too short. I can walk faster if I carry you." Nangong Tao was still talking about Nangong Jing. Obviously, he was also a stubborn person. He obviously wanted to get closer to Nangong Jing, but he showed his disdain for Nangong Jing in his words.
Nangong Jing didn't know that Nangong Tao was just being stubborn. He thought he really disliked his short legs and said angrily, "I will definitely grow very tall in the future."
Nangong Jing thought back to his past life, when he was about 1.85 meters tall. While not as tall as those martial arts warriors, he wasn't short among magicians. Even if he changed a lot in this life, his height wouldn't change as well. Even if he did change to 1.80 meters, he would still be 1.80 meters tall, which wasn't bad at all.
Nangong Tao looked at Nangong Jing's angry look and found him quite cute. He suddenly felt a little regretful for ignoring him over the years.
Even after being reborn, Nangong Jing still had a bit of a childish nature. His anger came and went quickly, and soon he was lying on Nangong Tao, looking around.
"Father, there's a shop over there that sells magic cores and magic weapons. Let's go in and take a look." Nangong Jing suddenly saw a shop not far ahead that specialized in selling magic cores and magic stones, so he thought of going in to see if there was a magic stone suitable for Xuanyuan Xingyao. If there was, he would just buy one as a gift for Xuanyuan Xingyao.
To be honest, it is not easy to choose a gift for Xuanyuan Xingyao. After all, Xuanyuan Xingyao is the legitimate son and is very favored. He has seen all kinds of treasures. Nangong Jing cannot afford a really good one, so it is better to choose a suitable one.
Like warriors and magicians, they can absorb the magic cores of monsters and some natural magic stones to improve their strength. Although Xuanyuan Xingyao is not short of them, Nangong Jing feels that they may be more suitable than ordinary magic cores or magic stones.
