What Do You Mean, Coming to See Na'er in the Middle of the Night?!
Ya Li sighed, but didn't say anything.
She looked at Na'er, her eyes filled with a gentle expectation.
To be honest, she didn't want Na'er to leave either.
After spending more than a year together, she had long regarded Na'er as her own daughter.
If Na'er leaves, she and Yun Ming will probably be heartbroken for a long time.
But she also knew that Na'er had her own choices.
She cannot and will not force Na'er to make any decisions.
Whatever choice Na'er makes, she will support her.
This was the greatest tenderness she, as the teacher's wife, could give Na'er.
Na'er looked at Yun Ming's pitiful appearance, and then at Ya Li's gentle eyes.
A sense of unease settled over her.
On one side were her loving and doting master and mistress.
On the other side was her most important brother, Xiaoshan.
She couldn't bear to leave either side.
What should we do?
Na'er's little brows furrowed tightly.
She lowered her head, deep in thought.
Bai Yushan, watching this scene from the side, couldn't help but laugh.
He gently patted Na'er's head and said softly:
"Silly girl, what are you thinking about?"
"Of course you should stay at Shrek."
Na'er raised her head and looked at Bai Yushan, her eyes full of confusion.
"But... but I want to be with Brother Xiaoshan every day..."
Her voice was soft and sweet, with a hint of grievance.
Bai Yushan smiled.
"Silly girl, even if you stay at Shrek, we can still see each other every day."
"When I miss you, I'll come to see you."
"You can come see me whenever you miss me."
Upon hearing this, Na'er's eyes lit up instantly.
"Really?"
She said excitedly.
Will Brother Xiaoshan come to see me often?
Bai Yushan nodded and said with a smile:
"Certainly."
"I'll come over as soon as you miss me."
"Even if it's the middle of the night, I'll rush over."
Upon hearing this, Na'er's little face instantly blossomed into a bright smile.
"Very good!"
She said happily, then hugged Bai Yushan's arm tightly.
"Brother Xiaoshan is the best!"
Yun Ming watched this scene from the side and let out a long sigh of relief.
Thank goodness.
Na'er doesn't need to go anymore.
His little cotton-padded jacket was finally saved.
Yun Ming felt a surge of relief.
"No! "Yun Ming suddenly looked at Bai Yushan.
What do you mean by coming to see Na'er in the middle of the night?!
Yun Ming suddenly looked at Bai Yushan.
A dangerous glint flashed in those calm, deep eyes.
midnight?
What's this kid up to?!
He came to the Shrek Academy in the dead of night to find his apprentice?!
What kind of talk would this make if word got out?!
Yun Ming felt increasingly uneasy as he thought about it.
He looked at Bai Yushan, the probing look in his eyes instantly turning into vigilance and hostility.
This kid...
Absolutely ill-intentioned!
I just thought he was reasonable and had potential.
Now it seems he was nothing but a cunning and ambitious little bastard!
How dare she say she'd come to see Na'er in the middle of the night, right in front of him!
This is an attempt to poach his girlfriend!
Yun Ming's fists clenched unconsciously.
The aura emanating from him began to become somewhat dangerous.
Bai Yushan was taken aback when he felt Yun Ming's hostile gaze.
Then, he realized what was happening.
That old bastard...
You're getting the wrong idea, aren't you?!
When he said he'd come to see Na'er in the middle of the night, he meant it literally!
What kind of nonsense is that old bastard thinking?!
Bai Yushan looked at Yun Ming speechlessly.
But he was too lazy to explain.
After all, the more you explain, the worse it gets.
It's better to let that old bastard figure it out himself.
Ya Li seemed to have figured out her husband's thoughts.
She quickly reached out and pulled Yun Ming back.
Then, she looked at Leng Yaozhu and smiled gently.
"Yaozhu, it's been so long since we've gotten together."
Her voice was gentle, like a clear spring.
"Let's take this opportunity to talk."
Leng Yaozhu looked at the two of them holding hands, looking like a perfect couple, and suddenly laughed.
That smile carried a hint of relief, but also a subtle, almost imperceptible, sense of melancholy.
To say that a young man admires someone.
Even a woman as privileged as her once possessed it.
Unfortunately, the person she once loved already had someone else in their heart.
That person was the man standing before them, arm in arm with Ya Li.
Yun Ming.
Back then, she, Yun Ming, and Ya Li had a period of interaction.
She had once felt a slight attraction to Yun Ming.
But in Yun Ming's eyes, from beginning to end, there was only Ya Li.
No matter how proud Leng Yaozhu, she would never do something like stealing someone else's love.
Therefore, she chose to withdraw.
I chose to bury this feeling deep in my heart.
So many years have passed.
She thought she had let go of it long ago.
But now, seeing the two of them holding hands, looking so affectionate.
A slight ripple would still stir in her heart.
However, it was merely a ripple.
So many years have passed, she has long since let it go.
Leng Yaozhu took a deep breath, suppressing the loneliness in her heart.
She looked at Ya Li and smiled.
Let's go.
Her voice was cool and clear, yet carried a hint of ease.
"Anyway, I've already completed the task that Qiangu Dongfeng gave me."
Speaking of the Qiangu Dongfeng.
Yun Ming couldn't help but purse his lips.
Qiangu Dongfeng always demands an exorbitant amount every time he renews his contract with the Shrek Academy.
The price of Soul Spirit is getting higher and higher each time.
Do they really think Yun Ming is made of clay?!
If Ya Li hadn't believed that the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy couldn't truly become enemies on a full scale.
Yun Ming had already gone to Qiangu Dongfeng's door to give him another beating!
The last time I beat him up was decades ago.
Just thinking about it makes my hands itch.
Yun Ming felt a surge of displeasure.
But he also knew that Ya Li was right.
If the Spirit Pagoda and Shrek Academy were to become completely hostile, the entire Douluo Continent would be plunged into turmoil.
Therefore, he had no choice but to endure it.
A moment of patience brings calm, a step back opens up a vast expanse.
But deep down, I still felt uneasy.
Ya Li seemed to have seen through Yun Ming's thoughts. She gently squeezed Yun Ming's hand and gave him a reassuring look.
Feeling comforted by his wife, Yun Ming's displeasure dissipated considerably.
He nodded slightly to Ya Li.
Then, the three of them turned around and headed towards Sea God Island.
They walked and chatted.
Soon, the three figures disappeared from sight.
The adults have left.
On the shore of Sea God Lake, only Bai Yushan, Gu Yue, and Na'er remained.
The thoughts of the young boy and girl immediately became active.
Without the elders watching over them, the atmosphere instantly became much more relaxed.
Na'er clung tightly to Bai Yushan's arm, her little face full of joy.
Gu Yue walked on the other side, glancing at the two of them arm in arm from time to time, her lips slightly pursed, looking displeased.
Bai Yushan is caught in the middle, facing a dilemma.
These two women...
This is really a headache.
However, he couldn't be bothered to care.
Anyway, if the sky falls, there are tall people to hold it up.
He just wants to be a handsome man in peace.
