After arriving home, Zhao Xiaoyu took her sleeping daughter into her arms and settled her down before leaving the house.
With a worried expression, Zhao Dashu felt a chill run down his spine. His daughter didn't look like she was up to anything. She'd come back so quickly; she probably hadn't gone up the mountain. Had someone provoked her on the way?
Who would dare to mess with his daughter?
"You've been bullied? Tell Dad, I'll bring a few skilled fighters to snatch sacks!"
Song stepped on Zhao Dashu's foot. Did he know that he was no longer a commoner?
Put a sack over it?
How could he even think of that!
Zhao Dashu winced in pain, "Wife, you stepped on my foot!"
For some reason, Zhao Xiaoyu's mood brightened considerably.
"What happened? What's wrong?" Madam Song asked with concern.
"It's nothing. A Taoist priest at the foot of the mountain said that Qixi should learn Taoist magic from her, and he could tell that she was unusual. Xiao Lei and I refused, but we still felt uneasy."
Parents, what's going on with Qixi? How come this child is... From now on, when she goes out, will anyone with a bit of knowledge be able to tell at a glance that she has a talent for enlightenment?
I'm always worried that she'll learn this badly; you all know that prying into the secrets of heaven comes at a price.
Zhao Dashu never expected his granddaughter to be so capable; people could tell at a glance that she was different.
What are you thinking?
"We can't lock her up at home, and we can't take her to those superstitious places anymore, or to temples."
“Okay, we’ll be more careful in the future. Don’t worry too much. She’s still young and doesn’t understand many things. If we adults keep a close eye on her, we can worry less when she’s older.”
Goodness, my granddaughter seems to be quite capable, otherwise she wouldn't have been targeted as soon as she went out.
Zhao Dashu rubbed his hands together, not daring to show it too obviously in front of his daughter. He was actually a little excited; he knew he couldn't take his granddaughter's words as mere nonsense from now on—she was truly capable and spoke only the truth.
"I know, but you should all be careful. Don't bring those kinds of people to the house anymore, and don't take 7UP to those kinds of places. Just avoid them and everything will be fine."
Zhao Xiaoyu couldn't think of any other way; she had no other option but to be careful herself.
"It's alright. There's nothing particularly powerful in our village, and we don't live in the county town, so that Taoist priest wouldn't be able to find us even if he wanted to."
“I think so too. I will assign two more careful maids to accompany Qixi, and one of the nannies will also be assigned to watch over her.”
Girls are difficult to raise, but this one in their family is so special. Zhao Xiaoyu gets a headache just thinking about it.
"Yes, this arrangement is safe." Zhao Dashu nodded, then added, "But don't be too nervous, or Qixi will sense something and the child will be scared."
Treat her the same as before, let her eat and play as usual, but we adults will keep a close eye on her secretly.
"I know."
My daughter just promised to go home right away, which means I sensed she was nervous, right?
Sigh, it feels like the child sees right through me, it's quite amazing.
Back in the house, Zhao Xiaoyu looked at Xiao Lei, who was sullen, and asked, "Do you think our daughter has a very powerful background?"
"Could she be a fairy from heaven? If she really is, we'll hit the jackpot. Don't overthink it, just let things take their course."
Xiao Lei believes that everyone has their own destiny. It's not that he's heartless and doesn't care about his child, but rather that he feels there might truly be something predetermined in the universe.
Take him for example. No matter how much his stepmother tried to stop him, she still couldn't prevent him from succeeding.
The same goes for my father-in-law. No matter how much the old man made things difficult for them, the whole family endured hardships but eventually rose from the ground.
My daughter may have her own path to follow.
He just hoped the road would be smoother; he really didn't want his daughter to suffer at all.
So deep down, he didn't want his daughter to learn those messy things.
"If only 7UP could give up his hobbies and be a normal kid."
"Of course! I want to too!"
The couple had no choice but to keep a close watch on things.
The little girl on the bed was completely unaware that the adults were worried about her and was sleeping soundly.
