Deep Affection (Part 3)

Of course, in large families, there is planned and skillful training starting from a young age. Generally, by the age of ten, one reaches the third level, and then begins the search for a master. Taking Zhu Yuchun as an example, it must be said that his natural talent is exceptional, perhaps even better than his father's. At only thirteen years old, he has already broken through the third level and reached the fourth. This is also why he looks down upon those martial masters.

As for the other children, Luo'er and Yi'er are ten, and Yuyan is six. To have a Martial Venerable take notice once and offer a word or two of guidance is an extremely rare opportunity. After all, for most people, a Martial Venerable... is a legendary figure.

"Martial Venerable Bai Mu is an elder of mine. His coming this time was originally in response to my invitation to come and see Chun'er and Yan'er. If Yuchun can win his favor and be taken in as a disciple, that would be Yuchun's great fortune," Rou'er explained with a sweet smile. "Naturally, the old gentleman might also take the opportunity to look at the potential of the children in our manor. Furthermore, if my husband can receive a few words of guidance from the Venerable, perhaps... he could advance..."

"Rou'er, thank you..." Zhu Tingxu turned his head to gaze affectionately at Rou'er, his eyes and face filled with undisguised emotion.

Rou'er's beautiful face immediately flushed red, and she lowered her head in extreme bashfulness, showing none of the traits of a woman nearing thirty. "If my husband can reach a higher level, that would also be Rou'er's fortune... For my husband, Rou'er is naturally willing to do anything..."

Yi slowly turned her head to scan the two lovebirds. It was a picture of profound affection; coupled with their two children on either side, it appeared even more blissful and complete.

Yi suddenly felt a sense of irony. If she were merely a passerby at this moment, if the three women with her were all strangers, she would feel that this scene possessed even more aesthetic beauty.

Unfortunately, two of them were that man's women, and the other two were his daughters. Because of this, the picture was somewhat discordant. One careless move, and it might all shatter into pieces.

Fortunately, Yi felt nothing toward any of this. Although her body could not become a stranger, her heart and soul were merely a bystander. At the very least, she would not destroy it all...

"The Martial Venerable will be staying at our Zhu Manor when he arrives." Finally, after the two had finished flaunting their love, Rou'er continued speaking with a flushed face: "When the time comes, we must be on our best behavior and host our distinguished guest properly... Additionally, my husband and I have discussed leaving the Golden Bamboo Courtyard vacant for the Martial Venerable to stay in..."

Hearing this, Madam Wu's lips curled up slightly, and she sat there with a slight bow. "I understand. I will keep an eye on Yi'er and not let her run around."

Yi glanced at her but said nothing.
