Chapter 4: This dad is truly rebellious

The mission was just completed so smoothly?

Ye Xiuxiu was completely dazed,

She had no idea what she had actually done,

How did the mission end so mysteriously?

Full of doubt, she lowered her head to look at her own empty food bowl,

Then she turned her head to look at Ye Ruyan's bowl beside her,

She saw that nearly half of the food remained uneaten.

Could it be… that she had outdone her second sister Ye Ruyan in eating?

This is really too outrageous!

Before, Ye Xiuxiu had already planned to seize the opportunity to really cause a ruckus with Ye Ruyan,

Who could have expected that the task would be settled so easily?

Time flew by, like a white horse passing through a gap,

In the blink of an eye, half a year's time slipped away.

Now Ye Xiuxiu is already two years old, although she is still just a little child,

but she can already take her own small steps steadily,

She walked forward slowly on her own.

On her round little head were two cute, playful bun hairstyles,

paired with that delicately carved, lovable little face,

Anyone who sees her can't help but want to get close.

For this reason, everyone in the Ye family, masters and servants alike,

really loves this little one to the utmost.

Especially those handsome young men,

Every time they see Ye Xiuxiu, they can't wait to scoop her up into their arms,

and then gently kiss her chubby, soft little cheek.

Ye Xiuxiu also returns the favor with a sweet kiss of her own.

However, if there's anyone Ye Xiuxiu isn't so keen to be close to,

it would have to be her own father, Ye Qingping.

It's just because of the dark stubble on her father's chin,

Every time he comes in for a kiss,

it always makes her little face itchy,

and even gives it a slight sting.

So Ye Xiuxiu doesn't really like it,

But the more she says she doesn't like it,

the more Ye Qingping insists on hugging and kissing her,

Each time she keeps muttering in her heart,

"This dad is truly rebellious."

In the room,

Bai Qingxia and Liu Yuesong leaned left and right in Ye Qingping's embrace.

Ye Qingping has several wives,

but only Bai Qingxia and Liu Yuesong have borne him children.

The higher one's cultivation, the harder it is to have offspring.

"Xiuxiu and Ruyan are already two years old,"

"Should we consider finding a teacher for them?"

Bai Qingxia spoke up.

Liu Yuesong also agreed,

"Indeed, it's time to find a teacher."

Although everyone says the younger you are, the faster your cultivation progress,

however, we cannot let the children start the cultivation path too early.

If cultivation begins too early,

it could very likely adversely affect normal bodily development,

There is a living example from history,

Lin Daiyu,

who began Body Refining at the age of two,

with the result that her body became fixed,

and she has remained forever at the appearance of a two-year-old.

Moreover, starting Body Refining too early does not necessarily improve one's physique more than natural growth with age.

With natural bodily growth, physical strength also increases.

Especially the initial step of cultivation, Body Refining,

Under normal circumstances, one waits until around six years old before gradually letting children begin to engage with it.

This is the optimal time.

After that, they proceed from the Body Refining stage to enter the Qi Refining stage.

Therefore, during the period from two to six years old,

they often invite teachers to come and teach.

Doing this first teaches the children to read and write,

second, it allows careful cultivation of their character, moral values, and other aspects,

thereby helping them form a correct and positive outlook on life, values, and worldview.

Ye Qingping listened, then nodded deeply in agreement and said:

"Well, indeed it's time to find a suitable teacher for them."

"What do you all think of He Pingsheng?"

Bai Qingxia's mind quickly flashed with relevant information about He Pingsheng,

He specializes in the Confucian Way, is a Deity Transformation stage cultivator, behaves uprightly and correctly, is inherently honest, and possesses high moral character.

If we could have He Pingsheng come from his hometown to teach Xiuxiu and Ruoyan,

that would simply be the best possible thing.

However, He Pingsheng is notorious for being difficult to deal with.

Thinking of this, Bai Qingxia couldn't help but slightly furrow her brow,

"It's just that Mr. He Pingsheng is famously hard to invite,"

"I don't know whether he would be willing to come to our home to teach Xiuxiu and Ruoyan."

Upon thinking this, Bai Qingxia's heart felt a little uneasy.

As for this, Ye Qingping's heart was calm and untroubled, not even a trace of worry arising.

But his expression showed extreme difficulty,

"Madam, please rest assured; I will take care of this matter."

"Even if it requires an unimaginably huge price, as your husband I will certainly think of every possible way to invite He Pingsheng to personally teach our precious daughters Xiuxiu and Ruoyan."

Instantly,

Bai Qingxia and Liu Yuesong both nodded with smiling faces.

Having such a husband, what more could a wife ask for?

Ye Qingping immediately spread this news abroad,

indicating that he wished to invite He Pingsheng to come teach his two young ladies,

and then he left it at that.

The next morning, at dawn,

a spirited old man with a white beard, his waist straight as a rod, strode steadily to the Ye family's gate.

He wore a full smile, showing no trace of reluctance.

On the contrary, he seemed as if he had gotten a great bargain.

When He Pingsheng saw Ye Qingping,

he was extremely respectful,

he hurriedly quickened his steps to approach,

then he performed a grand salute to Ye Qingping with utmost reverence,

saying, "Junior He Pingsheng pays his respects to Lord Ye!"

This scene was indeed somewhat strange,

an old man with white hair actually bowed to a middle-aged person.

However, neither Ye Qingping nor He Pingsheng himself

felt anything improper about it.

At this moment, Ye Qingping leisurely lifted his teacup, took a light sip of fragrant tea,

then spoke slowly and calmly:

"I have heard that inviting you to come out of seclusion is said to be harder than climbing to heaven."

Upon hearing this,

He Pingsheng was nearly scared half to death,

he quickly waved his hands and explained,

"Those are just nonsense spouted by the junior outsiders,"

"Lord Ye, please don't take them seriously!"

"I have always been easygoing; how dare I act arrogantly before you, my lord,"

Ye Qingping's mouth corners turned up slightly, revealing a faint smile,

but he did not add another word.

In terms of strength, he is a proper Body Integration Stage cultivator,

while He Pingsheng is merely a Deity Transformation Stage cultivator,

and between them lies a Void Refining Stage!

As for status, there's no need to say more.

No matter from which angle one looks,

Ye Qingping is like a towering mountain, firmly holding He Pingsheng underfoot.

To say this without exaggeration,

Ye Qingping is willing to let He Pingsheng come and be the teacher for his two precious daughters,

It is nothing short of the immense fortune He Pingsheng has accumulated across his past and present lives!

Not long after, Ye Xiuxiu and Ye Ruyan hurried over together.

Finally, they got to meet their first teacher in life.

Ye Xiuxiu blinked her big, watery eyes.

Full of curiosity, she sized up the unfamiliar He Pingsheng before her.

She had never seen this white-bearded old man before.

Ye Ruyan was quite familiar with He Pingsheng.

What she values most is etiquette.

Moreover, she knew well that He Pingsheng held a Confucian Sage Seal in his hand.

In his past life, relying on the Confucian Sage Seal, he gained many opportunities.

Therefore, she was determined to obtain that Confucian Sage Seal!

Ye Ruyan appeared especially well-behaved and sensible.

She took two light steps forward.

Then she respectfully bowed to He Pingsheng.

And she sweetly said, "Greetings, Teacher!"

Just then, Liu Yuesong, standing nearby, saw this.

She hastily scolded:

"Xiuxiu, where have your manners gone? Hurry up and salute the teacher!"

She thereby belittled Ye Xiuxiu's standing in He Pingsheng's eyes.

And elevate Ye Ruyan's standing in He Pingsheng's eyes.

Ye Qingping had just two daughters.

One was Ye Xiuxiu, the other Ye Ruyan.

The two were naturally rivals.

Ye Xiuxiu didn't move; she just curiously looked at the white-bearded old man ahead.

To be precise, she was looking at the system light screen before her.

【Your teacher He Pingsheng heard that you returned to the Ye Family; although you were previously foolish and silly, your teacher still keeps you in mind, letting your teacher see how you differ from before.】

【Task reward: ……】
