#12 - Don't look like

"You, what did you say?"

Xu Zheng looked at Wang Xuan in disbelief, wondering if he had misheard.

Wang Xuan repeated himself, but this time he was even more direct: "The Xu and Qin families, I suspect there may be a Saint Physique born suitable for cultivation. I wonder if the two heads can allow this humble Taoist to see the children under ten years old in your residences. If possible, I would like to accept them into the Heavenly Xuan Sect."

"Of course! This is naturally possible!" Qin Ruhai, who was the first to react, was overjoyed.

"For the children of our families to receive the favor of the National Preceptor, it is... it is the blessing of our Xu and Qin families!" Xu Zheng was already stuttering with excitement.

If it were some other small sects, Xu Zheng and Qin Ruhai would not have reacted so strongly.

But this is the Heavenly Xuan Sect! An existence surpassing the Four Great Sacred Grounds!

The Heavenly Xuan Sect has a detached status, not affiliated with any dynasty. Its power can even determine the rise and fall of a dynasty.

The Heavenly Xuan Sect does not have many disciples, and the selection of disciples is extremely strict.

Those who can enter the Heavenly Xuan Sect, even if they are just simple disciples, would be嫡传 disciples in some middle-tier sects.

And to be noticed by this Grand Elder of the Heavenly Xuan Sect and cultivate by his side...

"Hiss."

Just thinking about it made them gasp.

Currently, the Xu and Qin families rely on inherited privilege, and their children only hold some idle positions. There have always been people gossiping in the court, but if someone is really accepted as a disciple by the National Preceptor, who would dare to shut their mouths?

Zhao Wenshan, on the other side, looked at the happy faces of his brother-in-law and Brother Xu. How could he not know what they were thinking?

Zhao Wenshan frowned slightly.

Indeed, if a child from the family could catch the eye of the National Preceptor, the Xu and Qin families would benefit greatly.

But the problem is that the identity of a National Preceptor's disciple is not enough capital to be "wantonly reckless."

The children of the current Xu and Qin families are already dissolute and arrogant enough.

If they become even more extreme in the future, it might be okay once or twice. His Majesty might turn a blind eye out of consideration for the Heavenly Xuan Sect.

But if they go too far, do they really think that a "National Preceptor's disciple" is really a death-defying talisman?

At that time, the Heavenly Xuan Sect might even help the "National Preceptor's disciple" sever the karma with the Xu and Ning families, for fear that the Great Dao would be implicated by those dissolute children.

This matter needs to be discussed with the Old Madam.

The family style of the Xu and Qin families must be corrected.

"National Preceptor, please come in."

Xu Zheng and Qin Ruhai hurriedly invited Wang Xuan in.

In the reception hall of the Xu residence, the Old Madam was already waiting for Zhao Wenshan to return.

However, what the Old Madam didn't expect was that Zhao Wenshan, her grandson, and that kid from the Qin family were actually walking respectfully beside a woman, deliberately half a step behind.

With the Old Madam's vision, she could naturally see that this woman's identity was very unusual.

No ordinary woman in the mortal world has such a detached temperament. She is mostly a fairy who cultivates immortality.

"This humble Taoist is Wang Xuan, paying respects to the Old Madam." Wang Xuan bowed to the Old Madam, her tone respectful.

"Oh dear, where did this fairy come from?" The Old Madam quickly walked down from her seat, and Chunyan helped the Old Madam forward, "Fairy, please sit down quickly. I wonder what brings the fairy here? Did any of the youngsters offend the fairy?"

The Old Madam knew that if it were just ordinary cultivators from some sects, it would not be enough for her grandson and the Qin family's kid to value them so much.

Therefore, this fairy's identity must be extraordinary. She was just afraid that one of the children of her family had accidentally offended someone in the capital.

Wang Xuan shook her head: "This humble Taoist comes from the Heavenly Xuan Sect. Invited by the Great Wu Kingdom to serve as the National Preceptor. When this humble Taoist came to the Imperial City, I observed that the fortunes of the Xu and Qin families are gathering. This is an omen of the Saint Physique. I wonder if the Old Madam can allow this humble Taoist to see the children under ten years old in your two residences."

"Heavenly Xuan Sect." The Old Ancestor was shocked. Naturally, she had heard of the Heavenly Xuan Sect's reputation.

The Old Madam suppressed the excitement in her heart: "Chunyan, go and tell the children of the two families to come to the courtyard, all the children under ten years old."

"Yes, Old Ancestor."

Chunyan bowed and quickly retreated.

Xiaochun Courtyard.

Chen Suya, Madam Qin, and Wang Feng were making plum blossom cakes in the kitchen.

Qin Qingwan was riding on the Heavenly Xuan Goose.

The Heavenly Xuan Goose carried Qin Qingwan and ran forward, cackling, and Qin Qingwan was happily chirping.

Xu Ming was running back and forth behind the Heavenly Xuan Goose.

Xu Xuenuo was standing on the snow, silently looking at the sky, not knowing what she was thinking.

Xu Ming felt that his older sister seemed to have a different kind of melancholy.

Perhaps Qin Qingwan was tired of riding. Qin Qingwan jumped off the Heavenly Xuan Goose with a "Guata" sound, and ran to Xu Ming with her short legs, took Xu Ming's hand, and ran to Xu Xuenuo:

"Brother Ming, Sister Xu, let's build a snowman together."

"I don't want to."

Xu Xuenuo wanted to refuse, but Qin Qingwan's small mouth suddenly flattened, with a posture of "If Sister Xuenuo doesn't build a snowman with me, I will cry to Sister Xuenuo."

"Okay, okay, I'll play with you one last time." Xu Xuenuo jumped off the stool arrogantly.

The three three-year-old children seemed to be unafraid of the cold, constantly rolling the snowman in the courtyard, while the Heavenly Xuan Goose was flapping its wings behind them.

Before long, two large and small snowballs were piled together. Xu Ming took out a carrot from the kitchen to use as a nose, and picked up two branches to use as the snowman's hands. A small snowman was built.

This dog goose also kicked the back of the snowman, leaving its paw print to show its participation.

Qin Qingwan watched Xiaobai's actions, her big eyes rolled round, then she took Xu Ming and Xu Xuenuo's hands and directly printed them on the snowman. Qin Qingwan then used her small hand to print in the middle of the two people's palm prints:

"This snowman is a symbol of our friendship. Whether we are young or old, we must always be together~"

"Who wants to be with you forever?" Xu Xuenuo's cheeks were flushed, and she quickly withdrew her small hand.

Xu Ming just smiled slightly, feeling that this eldest lady of the Qin family was really a little angel.

"Sister Xuenuo's shy look is so cute." Qin Qingwan clapped her small hands happily.

But after a while, Qin Qingwan bit her small finger: "Speaking of which, Brother Ming, why do I think you and Sister Xuenuo don't look alike... Sister Xuenuo looks like Uncle Xu, and Brother Ming doesn't look like Uncle Xu either."

Xu Xuenuo turned around and looked at her half-brother, and found that he really didn't look like her at all.

And just as the two girls were confused, Chunyan walked in:

"Miss, young masters, stop playing for now. The Old Madam sent a message that there is something urgent to go to the front hall."
