Qin Ze laughed heartily, "It's all thanks to the rare and precious herbs and pills you gave me, otherwise, with my aptitude, I might not even have mastered the basics yet."
Jiang Wanwan quickly seized the opportunity: "Then you'd better thank me properly!"
Qin Ze waved his hand and said, "Xiao Wan, the patients at the military hospital were able to recover their health thanks to you! So, I will do my best to fulfill any request you make!"
Jiang Wanwan lowered her head slightly and said softly, "I hope to select some promising talents from the soldiers in the next training session, is that alright?"
Qin Ze thought for a while, then nodded in agreement, but also put forward a condition: "Then you must promise me that if the country encounters difficulties, they must return when called upon."
Jiang Wanwan nodded seriously, promising that she would keep her promise.
After Qin Ze and the others left, Zhang Yifan quietly hid not far away, secretly observing Jiang Wanwan. He looked like he wanted to say something but didn't dare to, which was quite amusing.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and waved to him. Zhang Yifan immediately ran over excitedly, looked up, and gazed at Jiang Wanwan with admiration in his eyes.
"Sister, may I join the Free and Unfettered Sect and become your disciple to learn your skills?"
Zhang Yifan asked cautiously, afraid that Jiang Wanwan would disagree.
"Quickly agree to his request! This kid actually has a mutated Heavenly Spiritual Root. He can advance even by drinking water. What a promising talent!"
Elder Xia impatiently transmitted his voice in the space, and Jiang Wanwan was surprised for a second upon hearing it.
"Why do you want to become my disciple?"
"Because my sister is the most powerful cultivator in the world, I can learn the most powerful immortal techniques to protect my mother!"
Zhang Yifan said firmly, his small face serious.
"Alright! I agree, but if you want to become my disciple, you'll have to pass a test first! Take the token I gave you and have your mother take you to the Free and Unfettered Sect to register!"
Zhang Yifan jumped three feet high with excitement, waving his hands to say goodbye to Jiang Wanwan, and said that he would report to the Xiaoyao Sect tomorrow.
As soon as Jiang Wanwan returned to the family ward, she saw Jiang Xiaoxue looking anxious and repeatedly calling out, "An'an, no!"
It turned out that her child, An'an, was lying naked on the bed, playing with a ball of green light in his hands.
Then, the green light darted around the house, turning the entire ward into chaos. Fortunately, the child still knew not to harm his mother.
The child's name was chosen by Jiang Wanwan; his nickname is An'an, and his formal name is Jiang Huai'an.
Jiang Wanwan quickly took the child into her arms, gently interrupting his haphazard spellcasting, and checked his physical condition.
You wouldn't believe it until you see it! Good heavens, this little guy has already reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!
At this moment, Elder Xia explained in the space: "After you cleansed this child's marrow with wood-type spiritual power, he became a top-grade wood spiritual root, and under the influence of the source power, he directly reached the Great Perfection of Qi Refining!"
Jiang Wanwan was initially overjoyed, but then began to worry. After all, the child was still so young and didn't know how to control his spiritual power. What if he accidentally hurt someone or himself?
"Don't worry, just use the spirit-binding lock. We can unlock it when he grows up!"
So, Jiang Wanwan quickly took out the Spirit Binding Lock given to her by Elder Xia from her spatial storage and carefully put it on An'an's wrist.
The spirit-binding lock seemed to possess a spirit, automatically attaching itself to An'an's wrist and eventually shrinking into a thin little red string.
At this moment, Jiang Xiaoxue ran over anxiously and asked, "Sister, what's wrong with An'an?"
Jiang Wanwan smiled and replied, "It's alright, don't worry. This child just started cultivating early, and he's already at the Great Perfection of Qi Refining. However, he's not quite good at controlling his spiritual power yet, but as long as he wears this Spirit Binding Lock, there won't be any problems!"
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaoxue was so surprised that her mouth gaped open, and she couldn't close it for a long time.
Jiang Wanwan gently teased An'an, and the little guy's eyes followed her fingers as he moved, making babbling sounds.
While teasing An'an, she changed the subject and asked with concern, "Xiaoxue, when did you arrive in Kyoto? How did you fall down there?"
Jiang Xiaoxue took a deep breath and decided to tell her sister everything.
So she recounted from beginning to end how she killed Yang Tiezhu, how she came to Kyoto to find Yan Hongjing, and how she was finally pushed down by his fiancée.
After hearing this, Jiang Wanwan was full of surprise. She had never imagined that Xiaoxue had married with the intention of revenge.
Jiang Xiaoxue raised her head, a hint of guilt and unease flashing in her eyes, and said softly, "Sister, don't you think I'm cruel?"
Jiang Wanwan shook her head and comforted him, "We cultivators are not ignorant of cause and effect; good deeds bring good rewards, and evil deeds bring evil consequences. Since Yang Tiezhu committed such an evil act against your friend, he deserves his punishment. What you did can be considered punishing evil and promoting good!"
Hearing her sister's words, Jiang Xiaoxue felt a little relieved. Lately, she had been plagued by nightmares, in which Yang Tiezhu came to claim her life, causing her immense torment.
"Thank you, sister," Jiang Xiaoxue said gratefully.
Jiang Wanwan smiled and patted her hand, indicating her understanding and support. Then, she asked, "What are your plans regarding your relationship with Yan Hongjing? Are you still planning to go back to that garden villa?"
Jiang Xiaoxue remained silent for a moment, her eyes revealing a hint of confusion and hesitation, but she quickly regained her resolve.
"No! We were never meant to be. Sister, I plan to take An'an back to Yangjia Village and watch over her as she grows up safely."
Jiang Xiaoxue shook her head and then took a USB drive out of her pocket and handed it to Jiang Wanwan.
"Sis, could you please take this USB drive to Yan Hongjing? It contains evidence that Xie Yimo pushed me. She pushed me four times in a row, and it was all clearly captured by the surveillance cameras I installed."
Jiang Wanwan looked at her younger sister, a hint of heartache and helplessness flashing in her eyes. She remembered the names Yan Hongjing and Xie Yimo!
Jiang Wanwan sighed softly and agreed.
Then, she reached out and squeezed An'an's chubby little hand, and said softly, "Now that An'an has been born, you can still try body cultivation, so that you will have more time to spend with your child in the future."
Jiang Xiaoxue was slightly taken aback, her gaze falling on her sister, and a feeling of emotion welled up in her heart.
Jiang Xiaoxue nodded vigorously, her eyes shining with determination, and said softly, "Sister, I will do my best for An'an."
Jiang Wanwan smiled and patted Jiang Xiaoxue on the shoulder, encouraging her, "Yes, I believe in you. It just so happens that I can also help look after An'an's cultivation in the future."
Jiang Xiaoxue took a deep breath, clenched her fist, and silently told herself that she must do her best.
