Chapter 23: All Superior Quality, Nascent Soul is Shocked
Hearing Huang Miaoying's words, Guan Zilan's anger surged up again.
“Rebellious disciple!” Guan Zilan's face showed anger again, and disappointment flashed in her eyes: “Are you afraid that your master will eat him?”
Huang Miaoying lowered her head, muttering in her heart… I'm really afraid you'll eat him, though not in that way…
Her usually obedient disciple repeatedly defied her, causing Guan Zilan's face to darken with anger, which she struggled to suppress.
The child's special talent had briefly diverted her anger, but it couldn't conceal the fact that Huang Miaoying and the Huang family had deceived her.
Guan Zilan felt disappointed and saddened that her highly regarded disciple had lied to her in such a way.
It's good that the child has good talent!
What if the child were an ordinary person? Wouldn't that be a great loss!
Moreover, the child and the deception are two different matters.
“Elder Guan, the child's father is just an ordinary cultivator, not qualified for you to meet him. Besides, he is not currently at the Huang family…”
The spiritual power that had just risen around Huang Yuanjing was instantly dispersed, and he spat out a mouthful of blood, flying backward and collapsing a house.
“Old Ancestor!”
“Master, please calm your anger!”
The Huang family members were shocked, some begging for mercy, others trying to rescue him, the scene somewhat chaotic.
Huang Yuanjing, supported from the ruins, fed himself a spirit pill. His eyes were filled with horror. Guan Zilan was indeed a well-known Nascent Soul True Monarch of the Taiqing Sect. A casual move from her seriously injured him.
He sighed inwardly, knowing that this matter could not be concealed.
“Are you challenging my patience?”
Guan Zilan said each word clearly, her gaze as sharp as a knife, sweeping across everyone's faces. Those who were seen couldn't help but lower their heads, afraid to meet her eyes.
“Are you really willing to betray and defy your master for a man?” Guan Zilan's gaze locked on Huang Miaoying's face, and she shouted sharply: “Speak!”
This shout made everyone tremble. Huang Miaoying's face was pale, and finally, she spoke: “His name is Qin Changqing… He is currently at the Qin family…”
In front of her master, she didn't dare to play any tricks. Guan Zilan could see through any lies at a glance.
Now she could only hope that her master was just taking a casual look, otherwise, the trouble would be great.
Guan Zilan grabbed Huang Miaoying's arm and soared into the sky without hesitation: “Take your teacher there!”
“Old Ancestor, what do we do now?”
The Huang family members asked with mournful faces.
Huang Yuanjing sighed: “Things have come to this, what else can we do? We'll have to adapt to the situation!”
Saying that, he also summoned his magic weapon and followed closely behind.
Although he couldn't defeat Guan Zilan, he at least needed to know the development of the matter and not be too passive.

Qin Family, Changqing Mansion.
The sound of reading aloud echoed in the school hall.
“First filial piety, then caution and trustworthiness. Love all, and be close to the virtuous. If there is spare energy, then study literature. When parents call, respond without delay; when parents command, act without laziness; when parents teach, listen respectfully…”
Qin Changqing walked slowly among the children, a smile on his lips, looking very much like a schoolteacher.
These were the enlightenment classics from his previous life.
Qin Changqing couldn't teach them too much in the way of cultivation, but establishing proper conduct was paramount. Since he was raising these children, their character and conduct couldn't be lacking. This old father was putting in a lot of effort.
“Dad, you last talked about the Tang Monk and his disciples arriving in the Women's Kingdom, what happened then? What happened then?”
After finishing their lessons, the children swarmed around Qin Changqing, asking with curious eyes.
Qin Changqing smiled and said: “It is said that there is a river in front of the Women's Kingdom, called the Zimu River. The Tang Monk and his disciples felt thirsty when they arrived here, so they drew water to drink. Who knew that after a while, their bellies would bulge, and they were shocked to learn from passers-by that they were pregnant…”
“Daddy, what is pregnancy?”
“Silly, it means having a little baby. We were all born after our mothers were pregnant!”
“Will you get pregnant just by drinking water? So that's how I came to be?”
“No, no, you only get pregnant if you drink the water from the Zimu River, otherwise, how come we don't get pregnant even though we drink so much water every day? Daddy, are you right?”
The children immediately quarreled, arguing about whether "drinking water will lead to pregnancy."
Qin Changqing's forehead was immediately streaked with black lines. He shouldn't have mentioned this to them. They were too young, and some things were difficult to explain.
“Alright, alright, we'll talk about this story next time, you guys go play first!”
Qin Changqing waved his hand with a headache.
The children cheered and each took their favorite toys from the toy cabinet next to them and ran to the yard.
Qin Changqing had deliberately built this toy cabinet for the children, filled with various small trinkets he made. They weren't precious, but they were novel, just right for the children to play with.
Suddenly, two streams of light arrived instantly and landed in the courtyard. It was Guan Zilan and Huang Miaoying with the child.
The children looked at the three of them with some surprise, but they didn't show any fear.
As disciples of a cultivating family, they had seen many cultivators flying around.
School hall?
Guan Zilan glanced at the surrounding architectural structure and the children playing in the courtyard with some surprise, and a series of question marks flashed in her mind.
This place didn't look like a school hall, and there were so many children.
Could it be that her disciple found a teacher? But could a teacher have such great charm? To the point that she would deceive her master?
Just as she was about to scold Huang Miaoying for lying to her again, she noticed something was wrong.
Spiritual energy?
Of course, there was no problem with a cultivating family having spiritual energy, but the problem was that this spiritual energy was emanating from those children.
These children ranged from one or two years old to more than ten years old, and some were even younger, not yet old enough to cultivate, so where did the spiritual energy come from?
Guan Zilan immediately released her divine sense to cover the courtyard, investigating these children, and her beautiful eyes widened more and more.
“Superior spiritual root?!”
“Another superior spiritual root?”
“Still a superior spiritual root?”
“Supreme… Supreme spiritual root!!”
“Another supreme spiritual root?”
Guan Zilan's shock was beyond words, and her mouth gradually formed an “O” shape.
She wondered if she had come to the wrong place. Was this really a school hall?
She quickly looked at the aptitudes of all the children, her face full of disbelief.
None of these children were below superior spiritual roots.
This kind of situation was impossible even if the top ten sects were recruiting disciples!
She had just learned from Huang Miaoying that the Qin family was just a small family, with only a few Foundation Establishment cultivators. How could such a family have so many high-quality immortal seedlings?
Thinking of Huang Miaoying's child's heaven-defying aptitude, a somewhat absurd thought gradually arose in Guan Zilan's mind?
Could it be… that these children were all born to that Qin Changqing?
Seeing the change in her master's expression, Huang Miaoying knew that she couldn't hide it anymore, and hesitated: “Master, actually…”
Guan Zilan interrupted: “These children were all born to that Qin Changqing?”
Huang Miaoying stammered: “Maybe… probably… yes!”
“Is it or isn't it? Be clear!”
“Yes!”
Guan Zilan took a deep breath, her heart trembling, staring at these children, her mind was in a mess, and she didn't know what to say for a moment.
