Female lead: No, it's me again??

Chapter 142 Too Absolute

Yu immediately stopped what he was doing.

"Haven't eaten yet?"

Xuan Li nodded. "Yes."

This is outrageous!

Yu hurriedly rowed the boat back, saying, "Okay, okay, I'm coming right away!"

We can't let our honored guests go hungry, can we?

"We bought quite a lot of things, why don't you bring your little girl along and have some?"

That little girl looks pale and thin; she's perfect for getting some nourishment.

"That won't do!"

"What's wrong with it?"

Xuan Li feigned impatience, "Don't refuse. We'll be neighbors from now on, and we'll need to help each other out."

Seeing this, the old man finally agreed.

"Alright, alright, you've gone to so much trouble!"

Xuan Li turned around and waved her hand, "Hurry up, we're starving!"

"okay!"

Xuan Li returned to the courtyard first. Feng Siyue was sitting on the swing, testing its sturdiness. Seeing her return, she asked...

"How do you want to eat that spirit beast leg?"

"Steamed or braised?"

"Don't do it, I'll let the old man do it."

Feng Siyue was slightly taken aback. "Why did you let him do it?"

Is she tired of what she makes?

Xuan Li was speechless.

"You have no idea, it looked like it was going to rain heavily, but Yu Wang was still scattering lotus seeds on the lake and refused to come back no matter what I said, so I found an excuse to get him to cook."

Feng Siyue quickly understood her meaning and stood up. "I remember there are still a few plates of spiritual fruit. I'll go wash them."

"it is good."

A moment later, Yu Wang brought the little girl to the courtyard.

Xuan Li was swinging on the swing.

"We tidied up the kitchen on the left this morning. The ingredients are already in there, and Chu Han is in there too. Go in and find her."

Yu nodded repeatedly, "Okay, okay."

He was about to take the little girl inside when Xuan Li stopped him, saying, "The child can play outside; we don't need so many people to cook."

She finally understood.

Only an employer-employee relationship can make this person obedient.

The old man didn't object. He lowered his head and whispered, "Xiao Ya, you stay here with Miss Ruan. I'll go in and cook."

The little girl was very well-behaved and nodded.

"it is good."

She knew she had to listen to the important guest and not upset him.

Otherwise they would go hungry.

After Yu went inside, Xuan Li looked at the little girl standing there at a loss and asked, "What's your full name?"

.........

Inside the room, Feng Siyue arranged the washed spiritual fruits on a plate, then heard footsteps behind her.

"Miss Chu, I've arrived!"

Feng Siyue didn't turn around and said, "Okay, I've already prepared the ingredients."

"Grandpa, you just do what you want, I'll go start the fire."

Yu quickly turned and walked towards the stove, saying, "How could I let you light the fire! I'll do it!"

"No need, old man, it would already take up too much of your time to cook for you."

Xuan Li appeared in a flash beside the stove and sat down.

A ball of fire was thrown out, and the firewood ignited instantly.

Her speed and the burning firewood stunned the old man for a moment, then he realized what she meant and felt a slight self-mockery.

As cultivators, why would the two young ladies need such a complicated method of starting a fire?

The old man walked to the cutting board. "Pork hind leg, bok choy, pork belly, lotus root slices... Miss Chu, what would you like to eat?"

"Just do whatever you think is best; we won't be picky."

"Also, please stop calling me Miss Chu, it's too formal."

"Alright, whatever Miss Chu says goes."

Feng Siyue felt somewhat helpless. The courtyard they bought belonged to the previous owner, Yu Wang. Why did it give her a feeling of inferiority?

Just because they are ordinary people?

"Uncle Yu, can your granddaughter cultivate?"

"Why didn't I see you bring her parents and grandmother with you?"

A family should be together, all together.

As Yu was putting oil into the pan, he heard her ask and replied calmly, "Xiao Ya's grandmother just passed away not long ago, and her good-for-nothing parents abandoned her here and ran away."

“He hasn’t come to see us, grandfather and grandson, all these years.”

The old man could only sigh when this was mentioned.

Those who cannot cultivate themselves seem to have committed some heinous crime, and are looked down upon wherever they go.

"As for cultivation, Xiaoya is just like me, an ordinary person who cannot cultivate."

"So, you'll call her Little Girl?"

The little girl in the yard nodded.

"How old are you this year?"

The little girl clutched at her clothes, "Nine...nine years old."

Nine years old?

He looks no more than six years old.

Xuan Li asked her, "Do you know how to cultivate?"

The little girl shook her head. "No."

"Have you tested it?"

"Test?"

"Test what?"

Xuan Li glanced at her. "Spiritual roots, huh? In this world, anyone with spiritual roots or spiritual veins can cultivate. Haven't you ever tested it?"

The little girl looked bewildered.

"No."

"Grandpa said that three generations of our family are not allowed to cultivate, so..."

So I haven't tested it.

How do you know you don't have spiritual roots if you haven't been tested?

Although Xuanli cannot cultivate, the statement that he was an ordinary person for the first two generations and will also be an ordinary person for the third generation is too absolute. What if a miracle happens?

The little girl was too young to understand what Xuan Li was saying, so she could only stand there awkwardly, her hands twisted in a fist, not knowing how to respond.
