Chapter 217 The Little Brother and Sister
"Young Miss, the steward just announced that someone claiming to be your and your son-in-law's apprentice requests an audience."
Qiu Yue stood respectfully beside Leng Huan as she spoke, while Leng Huan watched Fu Xun and five-year-old Yun Du playing games with the twins in the garden.
"I know, Gu Changlan must have arrived. He's finally here." Leng Huan rushed to the front hall.
Gu Changlan should have arrived in Beijun when the twins were six months old, but he was so late for some reason. When Leng Huan arrived, he waited for him properly.
"Master's wife, your disciple is a little late." Upon seeing Leng Huan, Gu Changlan immediately stood up and bowed in a disciple's salute.
Leng Huan waved his hand: "You didn't run into anything, did you?"
"No, Elder Jiang just asked me to go into seclusion to memorize the weapon-refining manuals, and I also broke through to the Golden Core stage, so I'm late."
No wonder he broke through to the Golden Core stage. It turns out that supporting the manor delayed his cultivation advancement. It's a bit of a waste of his talent.
"Good, once your cultivation reaches a higher level, supporting the manor will be no problem."
"I have finished forging Master's wife's sword." Gu Changlan took out the Cold Crystal Sword, which was originally blue and white, but now had a touch of light pink, and the blade was covered with forged scale patterns.
Leng Huan reached out and took it. This sword... has been upgraded; it's now a high-level magic weapon.
"Thank you for your trouble." She took out a storage bag: "This is a congratulatory gift to celebrate your breakthrough." Inside were some spirit stones and cultivation resources.
"Thank you, Master."
"Come on, I'll take you to find your master."
The two quickly arrived at the front courtyard of the embroidery pavilion. Fu Xun noticed their arrival and asked Yun Du and Ta Ling to play with the one-year-and-a-half-month-old twins.
Gu Changlan had already seen how patiently Fu Xun treated the baby, wiping his drool with a handkerchief, adjusting his hat, and bringing him back when he crawled away... He was a little disillusioned.
Fu Xun was sitting upright and serious at this moment, his expression... nothing, which was too different from the kind expression he had just had. Gu Changlan respectfully performed a disciple's salute: "Master, how have you been lately?"
As children get older, their sleep patterns become more regular, as long as they don't cry. Sometimes, when one child cries, the other cries too, and it's incredibly frustrating.
Fu Xunwei paused, picked up his teacup and took a sip: "I'm fine. Has anything happened in the sect lately?"
"No. It seems that Master Song has set off on a journey. The sect leader asked you when you would return to the sect."
Knowing that Song Kaiyang might have gone to the Western Nether Continent, and as for returning to the sect to see the two adorable twins, Fu Xun felt that he couldn't leave for the time being.
Since we're all familiar with Sect Master Ji, let him remain as Sect Master. He won't go back to inherit the position so soon.
Leng Huan knew what he was thinking, and propped his head up in his sleep. Tsk, the affairs of the Misty Immortal Sect are complicated. Fu Xun will be busy when he goes back. It's not as leisurely as the elders.
Besides, she wanted to wait until the child was older before taking people to the icy plains to cultivate and break through to the Nascent Soul stage.
Two years later, time passed by as Yun Fei and Yun Yi staggered along, walking, talking, running... When the two children started bullying their older brother Yun Du, Leng Huan finally decided to set off for the far north ice plains.
At this time, Yun Du was seven years old, and his younger siblings were three. When his younger siblings interrupted him again, Yun Du cried out with great resentment, "Mother!!!"
"They always bully me." Leng Huan heard the noise and ran out with a headache, only to see the two little ones riding on Yun Du's back, pinning him down so he couldn't move.
"Yun Fei, Yun Yi!" Leng Huan slapped their bottoms twice, one in each hand. "Whose idea was this? Don't bully your brother!"
Fu Xun was in seclusion researching the secret techniques of restriction. Leng Huan had been preparing supplies for the past two days. At this moment, Qiu Yue and Dong Xue heard Leng Huan's angry voice and ran out to see what was going on. They were speechless.
I don't understand why Yun Du is so well-behaved, while these two little ones are such a headache.
Leng Huan picked up the two younger ones: "Go, apologize to your brother."
Yun Fei looks just like Leng Huan himself; apart from her eyebrows resembling Fu Xun's, she's practically a carbon copy of Leng Huan.
He was very smart, mischievous and active. Knowing that his mother was angry, he obediently apologized to his older brother: "Brother, I'm sorry."
Yun Yi quickly followed, saying softly, "Brother, we're sorry, we were wrong. After you finish your homework, play with us."
This girl is even more clever. She knows how to act cute and charming so that her parents and brothers won't scold her. Looking at Yun Yi, she looks a lot like Fu Xun, or more accurately, she looks a bit like his mother. Leng Huan couldn't help but cover his face.
孽 孽!
Yun Yi moved the back of her collar that her mother was holding. "Mother, I'm not feeling well. Yun Yi was wrong, please forgive me..."
Leng Huan had no choice but to let them go, looking into Yun Yi's eyes: "My brother has grown up and can't play with you as often as he wants; he needs to study."
Yun Yi nodded, biting her lips that resembled Leng Huan's, "I just really want to play, Mother, let's go out and play."
Leng Huan stroked her second child's braid, "When Daddy comes out of seclusion, we'll go to the Ice and Snow World."
"Yay!" Yun Yi chuckled, her laugh making her look even more like Fu Xun; both twins had that same smile. But their personalities were quite similar to Leng Huan's.
"Alright, you two little brats, stop causing trouble. Your brother has a mission to complete. If you're bored, go play with Grandma."
Leng Huan instructed Qiu Yue and Dong Xue to take the siblings to the main courtyard to find Madam Leng.
"Sister Xue!" Just as he was about to go back inside, Leng Huan turned around upon hearing this voice. It was Leng Yan, whom he hadn't seen for several months. Upon closer inspection, Leng Huan exclaimed in surprise, "You, you're pregnant?"
Seeing her running towards him quickly, her belly protruding as if she were three or four months pregnant, Leng Huan cautioned, "Be careful."
Leng Yan lifted her skirt and said, "Hmm, it's nothing. I'm used to being out and about every day. I just got back and heard you're leaving Beijun?"
"It'll be soon, but I'm not sure when I'll leave. How come you went out to train and brought back a child?" Leng Huanchun asked curiously.
Leng Yan blushed and muttered softly, "Men's words are deceitful! I never thought I'd have a baby so soon."
"..."
Leng Huan deeply agreed.
Three days later, Fu Xun finally emerged from seclusion, and she couldn't wait to pull him along to pack his things and luggage.
"You're finally out. I can't take care of the kids anymore. I really want to abandon them and stop taking care of them."
"..."
Fu Xun thought about it and still felt it was inappropriate: "I'll take care of him, and you can focus on your seclusion."
Leng Huan was a little happier: "Alright then, sometimes I really want to throw all of you away..."
"Mother! I'm still here."
Yun Du was engrossed in reading the Complete Book of Spiritual Plants when he overheard his mother's words and immediately became unhappy. "I don't care, I don't want any younger brothers or sisters, I just want to stay with you."
He ran over and grabbed her arm, his mouth practically dripping with oil.
He had his spiritual root tested when he was five years old, and it was a top-grade lightning spiritual root. The child has been interested in cultivation since he was a child. When he started memorizing the incantations, he was already absorbing spiritual energy intentionally or unintentionally. He only recently started to draw in qi.
He's grown taller recently. Leng Huan touched his half-up bun, where his hair had grown to his nape. "Just kidding. Don't be angry with your younger siblings. They're still young, and this is the mischievous stage they're in."
Fu Xun waited a while, then pulled him off Leng Huan. "That's enough. You're so old, and you're still clinging to your mother. Aren't you ashamed?"
Yun Du's temper subsided quickly. He said to Fu Xunqi, "Father, Mother is my mother. You should go find your own mother." After saying that, he ran back to reading.
The child didn't mean it, but Leng Huan felt it wasn't right. She shook Fu Xun's hand: "Don't mind it, the child didn't mean it. He doesn't know about your affairs."
Fu Xun raised an eyebrow and leaned closer to her, saying, "I know you think I'm the kind of person who can't distinguish right from wrong? Besides, what our son said makes sense."
"What's the reason? He's depressed because of his two little ones, he can't have a moment's peace. Never mind, he's determined to study, so you should spend more time with the two siblings and let him study properly."
Fu Xun secretly kissed Yun Du on the back.
Yun Du pretended not to see it and slightly curled the corner of his mouth: How childish, two adults.
