Chapter 27: Xuan’er’s Present and Future (1/2)

Ning Wuxie immediately understood upon hearing the words. Indeed, wherever there were disciples of the Confucian Sect, significant events were bound to occur.

The Xuanqin Dynasty and the Great Chu Dynasty had always been at odds, with numerous conflicts between them, making them sworn enemies.

Even the Confucian Sect found it difficult to mediate the relationship between the two nations, relying on various means to maintain the fragile balance between them.

In his previous life, Ning Wuxie participated in mediating many disputes between dynasties as a disciple of the Human Sect, but he could no longer recall how the conflict between Qin and Chu ultimately developed.

It seemed that it did not escalate too much… After all, the strengths of Qin and Chu were comparable, and it was not as simple as just killing a monarch to conquer.

“What treasure did Brother Meng mention?” Ning Wuxie became interested and asked.

Upon mentioning this, Meng Cangran immediately adopted a cautious expression, looking around again to ensure no one was eavesdropping.

In fact, his Holy Grade magical treasures had the effect of shielding against external consciousness probing, so there was no need to be so careful, but he still felt a lingering fear.

“I don’t know if Brother Ning has heard of it, but I must tell you, please do not share this with others!”

“That is from…”

Meng Cangran took two steps closer to Ning Wuxie and whispered, “Bai Ze!”

As soon as these words were spoken, Ning Wuxie’s eyes widened in shock.

The Confucian Sect had set its sights on the demon race!

Ning Wuxie returned to the small courtyard and had just pushed open the door when he saw Xuan’er rushing towards him, diving into his embrace.

“Brother, you have been gone for so long!”

Xuan’er said pitifully, rubbing her little head against Ning Wuxie’s chest.

“I was wrong. Look at what I bought for you!”

Ning Wuxie affectionately stroked Xuan’er’s hair and took out the candied hawthorn he had bought from behind him.

Xuan’er’s eyes immediately lit up, and she reached out to snatch the candied hawthorn, happily starting to eat.

“Brother, you eat too!”

Xuan’er did not forget about Ning Wuxie, and after taking a couple of bites, she held the candied hawthorn up to his mouth. Ning Wuxie obediently took a piece, leading Xuan’er back into the house to cook.

As night fell, Ning Wuxie had already given up struggling, allowing Xuan’er to cling to him as she slept. Her delicate and cute face had now matured slightly, showing a youthful charm. Her round cheeks rested against Ning Wuxie’s shoulder, and her lips curled into a faint, satisfied smile.

A strand of drool flowed from her slightly pouted pink lips, forming a glistening thread.

Ning Wuxie smiled; this little girl had a free sleeping posture and would need some proper guidance in the future.

He reached out and wiped away the drool that had slipped down her tender lower lip with his thumb.

“Aw…”

Xuan’er seemed to sense something and opened her mouth, sucking Ning Wuxie’s finger!

Ning Wuxie was taken aback; was the little girl dreaming of eating candied hawthorn?

Ning Wuxie felt a soft little tongue moving in Xuan’er’s mouth, licking his thumb, which felt ticklish.

For some reason, Ning Wuxie did not pull his finger away and allowed Xuan’er to suck on it. In the dim light of the room, he admired Xuan’er’s pure and adorable beautiful face.

She was still that lovely little girl, considering herself the only one in the world.

However, deep in her consciousness, another person resided, a woman who was not cute at all and was even somewhat dangerous…

If everything after being reborn was a new beginning, then Ning Wuxie was merely a fifteen-year-old boy now.

In his previous life, at fifteen, he was still doing menial work outside the Zhenyuan Sect, watching the graceful senior sisters with longing.

But now, he possessed over five hundred years of memories from his past life and inherited the hatred from that life.

Yet, there remained a sense of youthful innocence in his heart, that genuine and passionate feeling of first encountering the world, but this sincerity was now entirely given to Xuan’er.

Yes, he admitted he needed Xuan’er.

But the future would not necessarily unfold as he wished; the adorable Xuan’er would not grow up day by day, forever loving her brother.

One day, that Empress Jiang Ningxuan would return to reclaim her body.

For the Divine Spiritual Body, this outcome was almost destined; few could hinder her growth.

Ning Wuxie felt a sense of desolation in his heart; Xuan’er’s cuteness and innocence, while not consumables, were a limited-time experience.

Should she be stifled?
