"Dao Sheng, that's a good name. Who gave it to you?" Hua Yunfei chuckled, his expression kind.
Sheng, as in vitality, as in life. It carried the meaning of the future, embodying the hopes and expectations the namer had for the one who bore it.
Talking with living beings in the world he had created was a unique experience.
Especially since Dao Zai was the very first among those living beings. The feeling was even harder to put into words.
As the creator, Hua Yunfei felt a strange sense of pride.
It came naturally, like an artist looking at their finest masterpiece.
"Of course, my mother did." Dao Zai looked at Tian Feixue with a smile. The relationship between mother and son was still as good as ever.
Though Dao Zai had grown up, he still listened to Tian Feixue and never defied her.
"Sit down and have some tea with Senior Hua. He's an expert, so you should learn from him," Tian Feixue said.
"Okay." Dao Zai sat down opposite Hua Yunfei.
Tian Feixue came over with a teacup and sat down beside them.
"Senior Hua, what's your cultivation level?" Dao Zai asked curiously.
"Didn't your mother tell you it's rude to interrogate your elders about their cultivation level?" Hua Yunfei lifted his teacup, took a small sip, and chuckled.
Dao Zai looked at Tian Feixue.
"I only told you to ask him for guidance. Why do you need to investigate him so thoroughly? With Senior Hua's strength, he's certainly qualified to teach you," Tian Feixue said.
"But why does Senior Hua seem familiar? Have we met somewhere before?" Dao Zai asked curiously.
"Of course we have. I even held you when you were little," Hua Yunfei replied.
"I see." Dao Zai raised his teacup and took a sip.
