Deli Family Discussion

Seeing Wayne like this,

Aurora was somewhat helpless. "Wayne,

you need to know,

the value a little sprite can produce each year is roughly equivalent to a knight order of the same rank."

Wayne shrugged at her words.

"Thank you for telling me."

This was no joke from Wayne. He truly was grateful, because if that was the case,

then in three years,

he would possess the foundation of a hundred knight orders.

Whether Wayne's reaction disappointed Aurora or not, during the time that followed,

neither of them spoke,

until it was time to part.

At the edge of the Lord Wizard Academy's massive teleportation plaza, Wayne looked at Aurora.

The ring on his finger flashed,

and a sign appeared beside him.

Wayne raised a hand and tapped the sign.

"Aurora,

don't put up signs next time. I don't mind becoming famous, but I don't want to become famous this way.

Here's your sign back."

Aurora looked at the sign and laughed softly.

"Hehe, I'll remember that."

Wayne nodded slightly.

"I live in Villa No. 66, Area Seven of the residential district.

If you need me next time,

you can come directly there."

Aurora shook her head. "I can't get in.

The residential district is private territory.

Unless you go to the academic affairs district and establish a subordinate relationship with me—as your follower, maid, steward, or something similar—

and obtain the corresponding badge,

no one else can enter the Lord Wizard Academy's residential district, not even my father."

Wayne raised a brow. He had not expected there to be such a rule.

Then he thought of the Didi Flying Car,

but on second thought, people from the Elemental Wizard Academy and Knight Wizard Academy

could enter the academy because

the three academies were practically one whole.

After thinking it over,

Wayne finally asked calmly, "How long until the little sprite is successfully nurtured?

Let's set a time.

From here on, I need to focus on my own cultivation, so I may not come out every day."

Aurora thought for a moment before speaking.

"Let's set it for three months from now. By then,

I'll bring the little sprite

and wait for you here."

Wayne nodded slightly. "I'll remember that.

Then, Aurora,

goodbye."

With that, he headed toward the residential district's teleportation passage. Aurora watched Wayne's back vanish into the passage,

then glanced at the sign before her,

and suddenly laughed.

"Looks like I'm about to follow a very good person!"

After saying that,

she grabbed one side of the sign and lifted it effortlessly before walking into the center of the teleportation array.

Time passed to six in the evening.

On the outskirts of the central area of the Imperial Capital's palace,

inside the living room of a manor.

A beautiful mature woman in a light green gown looked at the three tall men across the dining table.

"Aren't you worried at all?"

As soon as she said this,

the three tall men, even the shortest of whom was over six feet tall,

actually trembled.

Finally, the man standing six feet tall whose brain was still somewhat fresh spoke. "Mother, what is there to worry about?

Father is a level-seven Holy Dragon Knight.

Who would dare bully our little sister?"

"Yeah, Mother. Whoever dares bully little sister Aurora,

I'll beat him up."

"Exactly, exactly."

Hearing their replies, the mature woman rolled her eyes at them,

then snorted.

"Hmph, how did I give birth to you three muscle-brained louts?

Not a bit of brain in any of you.

All your points went into talent."

At those words,

the three tall men exchanged looks and signaled at each other with their eyes.

Eldest Brother: Third Brother, Mother said we're strong.

Second Brother: Third Brother, Mother said we're talented.

Third Brother's barely fresh brain turned, and he rolled his eyes. "She was clearly saying we have no brains,

simple minds, well-developed limbs.

Haven't you heard that before?"

Watching the three of them make faces at each other, the mature woman, as their mother,

naturally saw through them at a glance.

"Oh? Third has a bit of brains after all."

The three brothers: QaQ,

Mother knows wizardry!

At that moment,

a rough voice rang out. "Hahaha,

who grew a brain? How come I didn't know?"

The four of them turned toward the door and saw General Deli and Aurora walking in together.

After walking behind the three men,

General Deli's fan-sized palm landed on the backs of the three brothers' heads one after another.

"Hahaha,

which one of you three brothers grew a brain?"

The three brothers rubbed the backs of their heads without much reaction,

but their mother looked over and instantly saw the clarity in their eyes.

Seeing this, she glared at General Deli irritably.

"They were already stupid,

and you still hit them on the head. The little wisdom they had has all been knocked out by you."

General Deli scratched his head, looked at his hand as though he found it unbelievable,

then looked at his three strapping sons.

"Them? Wife, are you joking?

They had wisdom in their heads that I could knock out?"

Seeing that her husband did not seem to be joking,

the mature woman was thoroughly defeated.

She looked once more at her three fine sons, every one of whom possessed top-tier physical knight talent,

and thought to herself.

Forget it.

Heaven gave you peerless talent, so naturally it would give you a few flaws as well.

Let it be.

She turned her gaze toward Aurora. "Mother's good daughter,

did you meet that child today?"

At that,

Aurora threw herself into the mature woman's embrace. "Mother,

I met him."

At those words,

General Deli spoke coolly. "Then now,

you can give up

that wishful delusion of yours, right?"

At that,

the mature woman looked helplessly at General Deli.

"You clearly care deeply about Aurora. Why do you keep suppressing her like this?

Why not encourage her instead?"

General Deli shook his head. "Wayne may be young,

but his thinking is mature, and he is extremely independent-minded. A person like him will not be tempted by the gains before his eyes or by trivial feminine beauty."

He paused as he spoke.

"If I'm not mistaken, Aurora has already been rejected, hasn't she?"

Though his tone carried a question,

there was far more certainty in it.

At that, the three brothers, General Deli, and his wife—all five pairs of eyes—looked at Aurora.

Seeing this,

Aurora nodded slightly, then turned and revealed a radiant smile. "I was rejected,

but he did not reject me because my talent was lacking. The reason he gave actually made me feel

that I have a chance."

At those words,

the mature woman's eyes lit up. She clearly had not expected her daughter

to have such an opportunity.

After all, if he did not choose someone with the same top-tier talent, why would he choose you?

"Really?"

General Deli also immediately asked in surprise,

"What did Wayne say?"

Aurora slipped out of the mature woman's embrace. Under the gazes of the five of them,

she clasped her hands behind her back and turned in a circle,

then imitated Wayne's tone and said,

"Of course I refuse—not because of your talent,

but because

My feelings could not tolerate the slightest calculation or intrusion of self-interest.

Hearing Aurora imitate Wayne's words, the three brothers burst into a chorus of cheers.

"Good, now that's a real man!"

"That's right, Big Brother was right."

"Me too!"

After glancing at her three fine sons, the mature woman finally looked at Aurora.

She shook her head, a little moved. "Aurora, you're very fortunate."

As she spoke, she paused for a moment.

"If I didn't know your character, Aurora, I'd truly suspect I was still dreaming.

How long had it been since I'd heard of something like this?

The last time I heard of it,

was when I was studying, in the tales told by bards in taverns."
