249: Chapter 249 Su Jianqing's Thoughts

After the time it takes for an incense stick to burn.

The two of them wiped the plates on the table clean before leisurely walking toward the Meeting Hall in the front courtyard.

As soon as they stepped into the main hall, a petite and dainty white figure rushed toward Chen Shanzhi like a swallow returning to its nest.

"Big Brother!"

Little Yaya's milky voice echoed through the hall.

Chen Shanzhi grinned and skillfully crouched down halfway.

He scooped the delicately carved, jade-like little girl into his arms and gently rubbed her slightly fluffy head.

"Yaya, why are you up so early today? Did you miss Big Brother?"

"Mm! Yaya misses Big Brother every day!"

The little girl nodded her head vigorously, then looked around sneakily.

She stretched out her chubby little hands to wrap around Chen Shanzhi's neck, signaling him to lower his head.

Chen Shanzhi found it amusing and obediently leaned his ear over.

"Big Brother..."

Yaya pressed against his earlobe and asked in a shy, low whisper that only the two of them could hear:

"When can Yaya go to the Refugee Area outside the city to visit Mother?"

Upon hearing the word "Mother," Chen Shanzhi's fingers paused slightly.

Yaya sniffled, looking aggrieved as she fiddled with her fair, tender little fingers, muttering:

"Master says... I must Cultivate until I reach the Xuanguan Five Apertures before she will let me go out.

But... but if Yaya continues at the current speed, it will still take nearly a month to open the fifth aperture..."

"Although Sister Feiyu said that she has already sent someone to let Mother know I'm safe, Yaya still misses Mother so much..."

The little girl's eyes were slightly red, and her little shoulders twitched, making her look very aggrieved.

However, upon hearing this, Chen Shanzhi was struck dumb as if by lightning.

His hand stopped in mid-air, and the smile on his face instantly stiffened completely.

"What... the hell?"

Chen Shanzhi cursed internally on the spot.

What the heck?

It will take nearly another month to Breakthrough to the Xuanguan Five Apertures?

Chen Shanzhi began to do the math frantically in his head.

Yaya is only five years old this year.

Before being taken in as a Disciple by Palace Master Su Jianqing, she was just an ordinary little girl in the Refugee Area outside the city who couldn't even solve the problem of food and clothing.

In other words, she only started Cultivating martial arts from scratch at the academy after leaving Shi Village a month ago.

In one month, she has already opened four apertures?

In another month, which is a total of two months, she will be able to directly Breakthrough to the Xuanguan Five Apertures?

"What kind of Prodigy talent is this? Is she cheating?!"

Chen Shanzhi complained wildly in his heart.

You have to know, he had Cultivated for over a decade before, and he was only at the Xuanguan Five Apertures!

Yet this little brat in front of him who is only five years old only needs two months?

If the aristocratic families in the capital who pride themselves on being Geniuses knew about this,

They would probably be so ashamed and indignant that they would find a rope and hang themselves at the city gate on the spot.

"Yaya, be good..."

Chen Shanzhi suppressed the extreme shock in his heart. Seeing the little girl's teary, pitiful appearance, he couldn't bear it.

He wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes with a heartache, just about to agree:

"Big Brother will find time later to take you personally..."

However, before he could finish his sentence.

Jiang Feiyu, who was standing to the side, suddenly had a slight change in expression.

Taking advantage of Yaya not paying attention, Jiang Feiyu secretly and somewhat urgently tugged hard on the corner of Chen Shanzhi's clothes from behind.

How shrewd was Chen Shanzhi?

His brain turned faster than a Flying Sword.

With Jiang Feiyu's secret tug and her somewhat tense eyes, he immediately understood.

There was definitely a hidden reason for this.

"... go listen to your Master."

Chen Shanzhi naturally changed his tone in mid-air, flicked Yaya's little nose, and said with a gentle smile:

"Your Master is doing this for your own good. The Xuanguan Five Apertures will be reached very quickly. Once you have a Breakthrough, Big Brother will personally hold a grand celebration for you at the Marquis's estate.

At that time, I will take you to see Mother happily, okay?"

"Mm... okay, Yaya will listen to Big Brother."

Although the little girl was a bit down, she still nodded her little head very sensibly.

Just then, a steady, gentle sound of footsteps slowly came from inside the Meeting Hall.

Chen Shanzhi lifted his head without leaving a trace and looked in the direction of the sound.

He saw Palace Master Su Jianqing, dressed in a moon-white Confucian skirt, walking toward them with a calm expression.

Today, Palace Master Su Jianqing lacked some of the usual dignity of an academy head, but instead had a touch of the laziness and gentleness of a woman at home.

The form-fitting, elegant skirt hem swayed slightly with her steps, faintly revealing a section of her almost perfectly curved calves.

Chen Shanzhi's gaze flicked to those beautiful legs without leaving a trace.

That section of her calf was wrapped in a pair of delicate black silk stockings.

The black silk fabric, thin as a cicada's wing, clung to her fair, smooth, snow-white skin.

It outlined those plump and highly elastic leg lines, enough to make someone have a nosebleed on the spot.

Black, fair.

This huge visual impact of cold and hot, light and dark.

Made the True Qi in Chen Shanzhi's body couldn't help but become slightly agitated in his Qi Sea.

"As expected of the academy head, a black-silk mature woman from the game, hehehe." Chen Shanzhi praised inwardly.

However, he was an old hand at love in his past life, and this gaze, carrying a hint of heat,

Only lingered on Palace Master Su Jianqing's black-silk calves for a ten-thousandth of a second before naturally retracting, without showing the slightest lecherous expression.

At this moment, Palace Master Su Jianqing seemed to be preoccupied and appeared somewhat absent-minded.

She did not notice Chen Shanzhi's somewhat aggressive, hidden gaze.

"Greetings, Palace Master Su."

Chen Shanzhi released Yaya, cupped his hands formally, and took the initiative to greet her.

Hearing the voice, Palace Master Su Jianqing came back to her senses as if waking from a dream.

Her pair of soft, water-like, intellectual, and gentle beautiful eyes slowly landed on Chen Shanzhi.

Staring at Chen Shanzhi's handsome and delicate face.

Deep in Palace Master Su Jianqing's beautiful eyes, a flash of complexity and inquiry flickered.

She had previously heard a piece of gossip.

That Chen San who wrote little pond, his real identity, was very likely to be the Marquis of Zhenguo's heir, Chen Shanzhi.

When she heard this rumor before, Palace Master Su Jianqing scoffed at it.

One is the number one playboy famous in the capital.

One is a great talent who can write little pond and has soaring literary Qi.

How could these two people who have nothing to do with each other be the same person?

But now, Palace Master Su Jianqing could not find a single clue about that Chen San.

And that Ouyang Wanqing had indeed joined Chen Shanzhi's team before.
