Qian Xunji, dressed in elaborate attire, approached slowly but didn't enter.
He just stood outside the door.
Calmly observing Bibi Dong's figure inside.
Bibi Dong was in the pavilion, attempting to smooth out the book she had torn.
She naturally noticed the movement outside.
Her eyes were filled with loathing.
"Dong'er."
Qian Xunji had just opened his mouth.
Bibi Dong immediately responded, her voice laced with disdain, as if trying to drive him away.
"My esteemed teacher, your student does not welcome you here."
Qian Xunji was used to Bibi Dong's mockery. He received the same treatment every time he came.
He continued, as if speaking to himself: "I heard... Xiao Xue and Xiao Jue came to see you again?"
"Heard?"
Hearing this topic, Bibi Dong stopped what she was doing and let out a cold laugh.
"Heh, didn't you call them?"
This question.
Bibi Dong knew the answer in her heart.
Even the little girl was wary of her because of the last bleeding incident.
Let alone Qian Xunji and the others.
They were counting on that child to propagate the Qian family.
How could they let them do as they pleased?
Qian Xunji and the others wouldn't willingly let those two children come here.
Yet he wouldn't stop them.
As expected, Qian Xunji's next words confirmed Bibi Dong's guess.
"Dong'er, you know me. I won't let Xiao Jue be harmed again, but I won't stop them either."
Qian Xunji explained calmly, but it only provoked Bibi Dong's wild laughter.
"Haha!"
"Teacher, your student wouldn't dare say she understands you. If I understood you, how could I... heh... end up like this!"
Bibi Dong laughed, then nearly sobbed.
She was laughing and crying, acting like a madwoman.
Her eyes, glaring at Qian Xunji, were filled with a hint of madness.
"Hoo…"
Qian Xunji's words caught in his throat, and he took a deep breath to compose himself.
He explained simply: "Dong'er, Xiao Jue is very special."
"He's not like any of us. He genuinely wants to be with you."
"There's no ulterior motive, he simply thinks of you as his mother."
"Shut up!! I'm not!"
Bibi Dong's body trembled, the book in her hand crumbling again.
That child is special.
From the moment Qian Renjue was born, when he licked his own fingertips... even when he was still inside her.
Bibi Dong knew! That's precisely why Bibi Dong didn't want to have anything to do with him.
She could never forget what she went through that day! Never! Absolutely never!
Her own teacher, the man she considered her father, had personally ruined her life! Bibi Dong's eyes were bloodshot.
She sneered.
"Teacher, do you know?"
"Just the thought that they are... your children! Makes me sick!"
"Hahaha—! It's your child—!"
Bibi Dong seemed to be telling a joke, her laughter shaking her with mirth.
She stared at Qian Xunji with a cold gaze.
Continuing, she added, "They're just like you!"
"Just seeing them, even hearing them... makes me want to vomit!"
"..."
Qian Xunji stood silently in front of the door, enduring Bibi Dong's scolding.
Until Bibi Dong lost her voice, her throat hoarse.
After a long while, Qian Xunji finally turned to leave.
This was his way, a way to let Bibi Dong vent.
"I hope someday, Xiao Jue can change your mind."
Qian Xunji's back was to the courtyard.
He paused.
"I'm not a good teacher, nor a good son, but I want to be a good father. I don't want them to fail like I did, and I especially don't want them to be without a mother."
"So... Dong'er, you can make any demands you like, as long as they don't harm the interests of the Spirit Hall, I'll do whatever I can."
His words faded away.
Qian Xunji was about to leave.
But he didn't expect Bibi Dong's response to be so quick.
It caught him off guard and made him feel uneasy.
"I'm going to the City of Slaughter!"
Bibi Dong's voice was almost hoarse, sounding frail yet chilling.
Qian Xunji was silent for a long time, knowing what that place was.
He took a deep breath and calmly agreed.
"Alright! I'll make the arrangements in a while."
"Thank you, teacher."
Bibi Dong's voice carried a cruel laugh.
Qian Xunji turned back to look at Bibi Dong, his face showing the kind love he once possessed.
"Dong'er, I know... you want revenge."
"But I still hope you consider it carefully. Your child is waiting for you."
Qian Xunji didn't say more, quickly leaving the area around the courtyard.
Then.
What Qian Xunji didn't know was.
His final words...
Far from wavering Bibi Dong's resolve, it solidified her decision.
The appearance of Qian Renjue made Bibi Dong feel afraid! That smile, seemingly so warm, brought her nothing but terror! She wanted to escape from this place!
In the following days.
Qian Renjue completely terrified Bibi Dong.
Every day, without fail.
Qian Renjue, accompanied by Qian Renxue, would visit Bibi Dong's courtyard, bearing flowers.
Their greeting was essentially the same.
Qian Renjue was also very sensible and never provoked Bibi Dong too much.
Every morning.
Qian Renjue would peek his head out from the door, smiling as he asked: "Mom, can Jue and Jie..."
"Shut up!"
"Sister, can we go in..."
"Get lost!"
"Alright! We'll scram! Don't be angry, Mom."
Whenever this happened, Qian Renjue would immediately retreat.
He never stayed long.
He would take the flowers and run into the courtyard, sticking them into the barren flowerbed.
Then, he would pull Qian Renxue along, leaving with a chuckle.
Bibi Dong didn't even have a chance to make a move.
This was the routine every day.
It was driving Bibi Dong crazy.
During the day, she could only leave the courtyard to cultivate elsewhere.
But the timing of the visits from the Qian Renxue siblings was completely unpredictable.
He ran back and forth every day, never getting tired.
Just give him a carnation, damn it!
Occasionally... No, frequently.
Even when Bibi Dong went out to cultivate, she often ran into him when she returned!
It drove Bibi Dong crazy!
A month and a half later, in the evening.
Qian Renjue had already eaten dinner and was standing in front of the Worship Hall.
As if waiting for something.
"Sister, why hasn't Grandpa Guang Ling returned to report?"
"Mom isn't going back to that courtyard anymore?"
Hearing Qian Renjue's questions.
Qian Renxue shook her head helplessly: "Sister doesn't know either."
Looking at the water glass in Qian Renjue's hand.
There were two flowers in it.
One from yesterday, one from today.
Qian Renxue couldn't help but reach out and rub Qian Renjue's head.
She knew very well in her heart.
With that woman's mind, she must have noticed something.
That's why she didn't return to the courtyard all day.
Compared to Bibi Dong's actions,
Qian Renxue found it incredibly laughable!
She was actually so afraid that she was driven out and couldn't go home.
At the same time, she also found her and her brother's actions laughable.
Seeing that his own mother was actually going to send people to monitor her, and couldn't even go directly to find her, but could only "bump into" her!
Qian Renjue and the others didn't wait for Guang Ling Douluo.
Instead, Qian Xunji arrived.
"Father!"
I wish everyone a happy life! Please read and follow!
