Ye Qiu stared blankly at the door.
After Ye Lingling ran out, Ye Qinshui appeared before her.
Holding a stool, she sat down opposite Ye Qiu with a smile.
Her face showed apology.
"Xiao Qiu, don't mind, it's normal for Lingling to be a little shy since it's her first time."
"Uh, haha, no, I didn't mind."
Ye Qiu's face was a little embarrassed.
He guiltily wiped the spot where Ye Lingling had just ambushed him.
So Aunt Ye hadn't left the whole time, but had been squatting in the corner outside, right? Ye Qinshui
, you
're something else!
Nobody saw her squatting in the corner, if she didn't say anything, who would know?!
Besides,
what's wrong with squatting in her own daughter's corner? Isn't it for her own good?
This girl is really confused.
How can you wait for something like this? You should strike while the iron is hot!
As a mother, she naturally had an obligation to complete what her daughter hadn't finished.
Therefore...
Ye Qinshui was calm and composed, a gentle smile on her face.
She reached out and ladled another bowl of soup for Ye Qiu.
At the same time, she asked softly,
"Xiao Qiu, how do you feel about Lingling?"
"She's great,"
Ye Qiu replied with a dry laugh.
He didn't seem to have any other answer to this question, did he?
But Ye Lingling was indeed very good; her family background, appearance, and talent were all impeccable.
As for her personality,
none of this was her true intention.
Ye Qiu often saw a hint of envy in her eyes when she watched Xiao Wu and the others playing.
"Really? Don't lie to your Aunt Ye."
Ye Qinshui stared intently at Ye Qiu, looking at him like she was looking at a potential son-in-law.
"I'm telling the truth,"
Ye Qiu affirmed.
"Is that so?"
Ye Qinshui smiled somewhat strangely.
She said quietly, "Well, Xiao Qiu, since you and Lingling have been like that, shouldn't you take responsibility for her?"
"Cough cough."
Ye Qiu, who was drinking his after-dinner soup, almost choked.
He helplessly looked up.
"Aunt Ye, you trust me that much?"
"Hmph! Don't flatter yourself. Your Aunt Ye doesn't trust you, she trusts my Lingling."
Ye Qinshui rolled her eyes at Ye Qiu.
"Uh..."
Ye Qiu looked embarrassed.
He had been presumptuous after all.
Ye Qinshui looked at his expression, sized him up, and sneered, "A man of your caliber must have plenty of female admirers, right?"
Ye Qiu was stunned, unable to refute.
Ye Qinshui sighed softly.
"Sigh, there's nothing I can do. I know Lingling's personality. Since she's taken a liking to you, I can only support her."
"Otherwise, she might end up alone for the rest of her life."
Ye Qiu chuckled. "Aunt Ye, you're exaggerating. Lingling certainly won't lack suitors."
"But Lingling has to be interested in her, right? With such a shining example before her, it's unlikely anyone will catch her eye in the future."
Ye Qinshui glanced at Ye Qiu.
Her smile faded, and her face became serious.
"Alright, tell me your answer."
Ye Qiu pondered for a moment.
He always felt a little confused about his life.
Things that seemed natural, when it came to actually making a decision, made him feel a little lost.
A bit pathetic.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Qiu said seriously, "Aunt Ye, I will give you, and Lingling, a satisfactory answer."
Ye Qinshui frowned and nodded slightly.
Although Ye Qiu's answer didn't quite satisfy her, at least the matter was settled.
After a long pause,
Ye Qinshui said calmly,
"Whether I'm satisfied or not isn't important; what's important is that Lingling is satisfied. Do you understand?"
"I understand,"
Ye Qiu nodded silently.
Next...

Ye Qinshui was simply chatting about Ye Lingling's childhood.
She told Ye Qiu about her daughter's hobbies, eating habits, and some old stories and embarrassing anecdotes, which
took about fifteen minutes.
Ye Qiu had already eaten and drunk his fill, but he was still thinking about the arrangements at Blue Tyrant Academy.
He had to go pick up Tang San from the city.
"What's wrong? Do you have something to do?"
Ye Qinshui, who had just taken a sip of rice porridge to moisten her throat, noticed Ye Qiu's unusual behavior.
Ye Qiu nodded slightly:
"Yes, it is indeed something urgent."
"If it's urgent, then go ahead. Leave Lingling at home for now."
"Then Aunt Ye, I'll come back to pick Lingling up from the academy after I finish what I'm doing."
"Go ahead."
Ye Qinshui waved her hand.
Ye Qiu didn't linger any longer, opened his Eternal Kaleidoscope, and left Ye Lingling's room with a twist of his body.
Ye Qinshui watched this scene,
a hint of amazement appearing in her eyes.
"What an amazing soul skill
," Ye Qinshui murmured, then looked towards the door.
She called out with a smile,
"You brat, aren't you going to come in? Shouldn't you thank your mother properly?"
As her words fell,
Ye Lingling appeared in the doorway, her eyes misting over as she
rushed into Ye Qinshui's arms.
...
Inside a certain restaurant.
The tall Bone Douluo sat in the room, quietly waiting for Ye Qiu's arrival.
A spatial ripple occurred.
Bone Douluo's gaze remained calm as he popped a peanut into his mouth.
"Kid, why are you so late?"
Ye Qiu appeared,
smiling apologetically. "There was a little mishap during dinner, but it's all fine now."
"Don't you dare bully our little princess, or Sword Man and I won't let you off the hook."
Bone Douluo glanced at him,
assuming his backyard had almost caught fire.
"How could that be? I'm too busy doting on Rongrong."
Ye Qiu chuckled.
There was no explanation. They already knew about Ye Lingling's situation and had tacitly accepted that any woman Ye Qiu associated with was his confidante.
"Senior Bone, is the carriage I requested ready?"
"Don't worry, it's ready. It's right at the entrance of Blue Tyrant Academy. You can see it as soon as you get there."
Bone Douluo nodded.
He had already arranged these things. He would also keep an eye on things from the shadows along the way to prevent anyone from causing trouble on the avalanche side.
"That's good."
As soon as Ye Qiu finished speaking,
his appearance began to change.
His skin gradually darkened, his hair turned gray, and his face became weathered, resembling a seasoned coachman.
...
Blue Tyrant Academy.
Tang San had just finished lunch
and was planning to take a nap with Dai Mubai and the others.
The events he learned yesterday had still quite shocked Tang San, and he hadn't recovered yet.
Knock knock!
Just as he lay down with Dai Mubai and the others, there was a knock on the door.
"Young Master, it's Tailong of my Power Clan."
"Tailong?"
Tang San opened his eyes and got up.
He still cared somewhat about his father's subordinates.
"What's he doing here looking for Xiao San at this hour?"
On the bed next to Tang San, Dai Mubai also opened his eyes.
"I don't know either, I'd better go out and see."
Tang San shook his head.
He put on his shoes and clothes and went outside.
As soon as he opened the door, a burly, rugged man came into view.
Tai Long bowed respectfully.
"Young Master! Grandfather asked me to tell you something."
