Your nephew is also straightforward. It’s normal for young people to have some arrogance.

Patted?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That filthy hand of Chen, actually patted his aunt?!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>And the most crushing part was,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>His aunt, who always had a cleanliness obsession and hated being touched by men, not only didn’t shy away but her eyelashes trembled slightly, showing a bit of coyness.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Sorry for the embarrassment.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yushuang sighed softly, her voice gentle, then turned to Zhao Tong with a severe tone,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tong’er, see how magnanimous Brother Chen is! He not only doesn’t blame you, he’s even pleading for you!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tong stared at Chen Ye’s hand still resting on his aunt’s delicate shoulder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>That hand, long and strong, pressed unabashedly on the thin fabric of his aunt’s clothing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Whether forgotten to take back or deliberately provoking him... Yet his aunt seemed oblivious.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Thank...

Why would Aunt be with him...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The more he thought, the more desperate he felt.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Years ago,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He admired True Inheritor Bai, and that’s why he had conflicts with Chen Ye... Later, True Inheritor Bai indeed favored that guy!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>True Inheritor Bai was one thing, he knew his standing.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But why now, even his only loving aunt is taken away by that man?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He hadn’t run far when suddenly a sound broke through the air from behind.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tong froze.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He quickly turned around.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>In the dusk, a streak of Flowing Light broke through the sky, landing hurriedly not far from him like a Fairy descending to dust.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The person’s hairpin was slightly disordered, her expression anxious, it was his aunt who was scolding him for Chen Ye earlier.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Tong’er! Why are you running! Don’t you care about your life?! Sigh, you’re no longer a child...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Before Zhao Yushuang steadied herself, the scolding came.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Though stern in tone, the concern within was unmistakable.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing this scene,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>The previously despairing Zhao Tong was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Wait... Aunt actually left that pretty boy and came after him first?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Still feeling stubborn: \"Aunt, you should go accompany that Chen guy!\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yushuang was surprised, she chuckled helplessly:\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Silly boy, what are you babbling about. Do you perhaps misunderstand my relationship with Instructor Chen?\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Seeing Zhao Tong silent.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Yushuang’s heart jumped, she wondered if her relationship with Brother Chen seemed this intimate to others.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>But now wasn’t the time to ponder.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>She said softly: \"The sect’s task this time is heavy, only with Instructor Chen’s help could I prepare enough Pills... Yet you brat, at this critical moment not even considering your aunt, you went to offend Instructor Chen.\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Saying this, Zhao Yushuang paused, her beautiful eyes flashing, reluctantly adding,\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>\"Your aunt is merely going along with the act...\"\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Zhao Tong was stunned.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Going along with the act?\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>He looked at his aunt’s beautiful face blankly, as if coming to a realization.\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>So that’s it!\u003C\u002Fp>\n\u003Cp>Aunt is just forced, it was his misunderstanding!\u003C\u002Fp>",1078,"2026-06-06T06:09:16.423Z",1,"novelbin.me","0c2f4dbb63c38f50b92ffcb459a695dfadebacf2882c53f92f0214cf5918ba0b","longevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-chapter-686","longevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-chapter-684",686,"https:\u002F\u002Fnovelzhen.com\u002Fimages\u002Fcovers\u002Flongevity-begins-from-raising-disciples-cover.jpg"]
