Chapter 18: Mother Doesn't Support? Then I Won't Bring Her to Play

Chen Gong Dong wolfed down his meal, the speed shocking.

He took only a third of the usual mealtime.

He swept away the food like a gust clearing clouds.

He hastily put down his bowl and chopsticks, wiped his mouth,

eager to stand up,

intending to call the other children to the small classroom.

Ye Xiuxiu's eating speed was also very fast,

after all, she was doing it to complete her task.

She casually ate a few bites,

she hurried toward the small classroom where He Pingsheng usually taught.

Although the small classroom had limited space, it could hardly hold a few adults.

but for the petite children, it could easily accommodate many.

However, just as Ye Xiuxiu was about to reach the small classroom,

a familiar figure appeared before her—none other than her mother, Bai Qingxia.

Bai Qingxia wore a smile,

and softly asked, "Xiuxiu, why are you rushing off like this?"

In fact, Bai Qingxia knew exactly what Ye Xiuxiu intended.

After all, just during the meal,

Chen Gong Dong's loud voice had exposed their plan,

many nearby heard their conversation, naturally including Bai Qingxia.

So when Bai Qingxia learned Ye Xiuxiu was preparing to teach, she hurried out to stop her.

"It's Mother!"

Ye Xiuxiu's face, like a blooming spring flower, instantly lit up with a sweet smile,

she hopped over like a cheerful little bird to her mother Bai Qingxia,

then excitedly recounted in detail the plan she had carefully prepared for a long time and was about to put into practice.

Bai Qingxia narrowed her eyes slightly, a faint smile playing at the corner of her mouth,

pretending she had just learned of it,

and softly said, "Oh? So my Xiuxiu wants to impart the Words of the Saints to so many people."

She nodded slightly, showing approval of her daughter's idea, but then quickly shifted tone,

speaking earnestly: "However, Xiuxiu,

have you carefully considered the possible problems involved?"

Ye Xiuxiu blinked her clear, watery big eyes, tilted her head, and looked at her mother puzzled,

seeming not to fully grasp the deeper meaning of her mother's words.

Thus Bai Qingxia continued patiently explaining:

"Xiuxiu, you must understand that when one's fame grows too great, it often invites unnecessary trouble and danger."

"The tree that stands out in the forest will be struck by the wind;"

"Your name Ye Xiuxiu, being outstanding twice, increases the danger."

"Moreover, few people know you possess such astonishing talent,"

"especially since you have not yet embarked on the path of cultivation, possessing no power to protect yourself effectively."

"If this matter were openly spread, you would surely face dangers from all sides."

Ye Xiuxiu nodded in agreement and said softly:

"Mother's words are absolutely correct."

"Isn't that just the saying 'people fear fame, pigs fear getting fat'!"

Her bright eyes sparkled with intelligence.

Bai Qingxia gently rubbed Ye Xiuxiu's little head and taught earnestly:

"Dear, you can't always think only of others; you must also consider yourself more."

"You should know that if one day you encounter danger,"

"it would be an enormous loss for our entire cultivation world!"

Ye Xiuxiu obediently nodded: "Mother is right; I had oversimplified things and acted hastily."

"Perhaps because I am still just a child, my body not yet fully grown,"

"although my mind already holds some mature thoughts like an adult's,"

"yet I am still limited by this childish body,"

"so my actions inevitably lack thorough consideration."

Then Bai Qingxia continued patiently explaining:

"Besides, Xiuxiu, even if you wholeheartedly want to teach them the flawless Words of the Saints, they might not appreciate it."

"You may think you're acting with good intentions, but to others you could become a hindrance."

"So, Mother today wants to tell you a profound truth,"

"people cannot understand principles merely through teaching; true understanding comes from experience, from painful lessons."

Ye Xiuxiu listened quietly to her mother's words,

sometimes nodding slightly, sometimes falling into thought.

I feel Mother's words are very reasonable.

All right, Mother is going to keep eating.

After Bai Qixia gently finished saying that, she lightly stretched out her hand and rubbed Ye Xiuxiu's head, then turned and continued walking toward the dining table.

She secretly thought: After my earnest and painstaking guidance just now,

A smart and clever child like Xiuxiu will surely understand the reasoning and thus decisively give up that matter.

Meanwhile, Ye Xiuxiu walked forward with her small steps, moving slowly.

Yet her mind kept pondering the recent question. She slightly furrowed her brows and muttered to herself:

"Should I continue teaching them the correct Words of the Saints?"

After a brief pause, she seemed to suddenly think of something,

She nodded firmly with a determined gaze and murmured, "That's a must!"

"This is the simplest and most effective way to make them willingly accept me; how could I easily give it up?"

This talent must be obtained,

This talent is currently the greatest enhancement Ye Xiuxiu has received.

As for the opportunity of Marrow Cleansing and Bone Refining and that copy of the Hongmeng Creation Scripture whose whereabouts are unknown, they are temporarily overlooked,

Ye Xiuxiu still isn't clear on how useful these things are, so she sets them aside for now without further consideration.

Although people fear fame and pigs fear getting fat,

but we also need to analyze the specific situation,

I am not only the precious daughter of a Body Integration Stage big shot, with an exalted status;

but also the teacher and disciple of the renowned He Pingsheng,

Such a dual halo has long made her the focus of everyone's attention.

Since she is already this famous,

then even being a bit more high-profile,

probably won't cause too much trouble.

As for the issue of personal safety…

Tsk,

My Body Integration Stage father will naturally protect me,

If even my father cannot fully protect me,

then probably no one else in this world could survive either.

Thinking this,

Ye Xiuxiu couldn't help but feel that Mother's earlier words were just meant to scare her.

She merely wants me to focus on studying and not waste time on random thoughts.

Ah, indeed the saying holds true,

"All parents in the world share the same heart!"

Every parent hopes their child will devote themselves to studies and achieve something in the future.

However, since Mother does not approve of me teaching others those correct Words of the Saints,

then I won't play with her anymore.

After all, teaching the Words of the Saints has little to do with Mother anyway.

Thus, Ye Xiuxiu nodded in satisfaction,

then stepped forward with a light gait,

and continued walking toward that little classroom.

There, a group of eager classmates awaited her to impart the correct Words of the Saints.
