Chi Zijing suddenly asked: "Liu Qing, is Master Jing the father of that child?"
"I don't think so." Liu Zhongwu said, "The transformation of ordinary people by the Fan Ding Realm doesn't happen so quickly. Even if one enjoys staying in the Grotto Heaven, it takes a long time to become a true master. Most likely, he is a 'senior' whom he happened to meet, someone who takes care of... or monitors the child as they're still young."
"Oh."
After that, Chi Zijing said nothing. The three of them escorted the Crown Prince back to the Eastern Palace, then Situ Yi went to the East Martial District to watch a play, Liu Zhongwu returned to the Imperial Academy Supervisor to study, and Gongsun Ce bought a few candied haws and sat on the curb, quietly watching the winter scenery of Divine Capital City.
