Yun Yun and Feng Qing'er

Yun Xiao held the scroll and ultimately gave up on trying to understand its contents by herself. She turned her big eyes toward Jia Xingtian.

"Grandfather Jia, can you read it to Xiao Xiao?"

"Sigh~ grandfather Jia wants to read it to Xiao Xiao too, but I've been busy with so much work lately that my eyes are blurry. I can't read this sort of thing."

Jia Xingtian shook his head with feigned regret, making Yun Xiao puff out her cheeks in dissatisfaction. Then, holding the scroll, she stood up and hurried around Jia Xingtian to Zijing. Tears welled in her eyes as she looked up at him pitifully.

"Brother Zijing, can you read it to Xiao Xiao?"

Yun Xiao knew that, among everyone around her, Zijing spoiled her the most. As long as she put on this expression, he would usually agree no matter what she asked for.

Seeing Yun Xiao's particularly pitiful little expression, Zijing's heart clenched, and he nearly agreed outright.

(No, no! For Xiao Xiao's future, no matter what, I can't keep spoiling her this time!)

Zijing shook his head and, with great difficulty, steadied his resolve. He crouched down, placed both hands on Yun Xiao's shoulders, and gently persuaded her.

"Xiao Xiao, listen to your brother. You'll definitely have to read countless Dou Techniques and cultivation methods in the future. Your brother can't stay by your side forever, right? So you have to learn to read on your own."

"But learning to read is really boring!"

Yun Xiao pouted unhappily, clearly still unwilling.

At that moment, Jia Xingtian looked at Yun Xiao kindly and slowly asked again.

"Xiao Xiao, let grandfather ask you something. Do you believe that Brother Zijing would hurt you?"

"No!"

Yun Xiao answered immediately without hesitation. Jia Xingtian narrowed his eyes
