My Wife is Unbeatable in the Whole World, Touch Me If You Dare!

Upon hearing her grandfather's words, Dongfang Qing widened her eyes, full of disbelief: "Really?"

The fortune-telling old man patted her head, smiling as he said, "Don't you like visiting their family the most?"

Dongfang Qing asked again, "Grandfather, will you come with me too?"

The fortune-telling old man shook his head and said, "After the Lantern Festival, grandfather will leave Chang'an for a while. During this time, you'll stay at your big brother's house. Even when I'm not around, you mustn't be too playful, and remember to cultivate every day..."

Li Nuo clasped his hands in a salute and said, "Thank you, Senior."

Although he decided to go out for cultivation, he wasn't arrogant enough to think that with his current strength, he could roam freely throughout Daxia.

If he could have someone from the Sixth Realm by his side, there would be nothing to worry about.

Li Nuo knew only two people from the Sixth Realm. His master was in secluded cultivation at Sanqing Mountain and he couldn't trouble her with these matters, while this Senior Dongfang often wandered about, making him the most suitable companion for the journey.

Although the Yin Yang School doesn't excel in sheer strength, they are absolutely the last ones of the same rank anyone would want to provoke.

No wonder it is said that Li Nuo hadn't even spoken, yet he already knew his intention, being a member of the Sixth Realm of the Yin Yang School.

Dongfang Xuan waved his hand, saying, "Idling away anyway, going out for a walk isn't bad. However, remember, young man, you owe this old man a favor, and it must be repaid in the future..."

Li Nuo replied, "Naturally."

Watching his granddaughter and Li Nuo leave, the fortune-telling old man sighed gently.

The Yin Yang School peers too much into the secrets of the heavens, slightly better than an emperor under national fortune, but still not long-lived.

He doesn't fear death, but his only concern is the last bloodline of the Dongfang family.

Times have changed, the Dongfang family has declined, and their old enemies are now at the peak of their power. Before he dies, he must find Qing'er a strong ally...

Ningxin Garden.

Dongfang Qing was gnawing on a large peach, while Yiren beside her was asking her about the Ying Yang Technique.

After advancing to the realm of Grandmaster, besides initially wanting to compete with Anning, she diligently cultivated for a few days. After realizing she couldn't surpass Anning of the same realm, she willingly gave up.

In fact, few martial artists, no matter how talented, can reach the Grandmaster Realm in their lifetime.

The difference in talent is merely how far one can go on the path of a Grandmaster.

Even the strongest Grandmaster isn't much stronger than the weakest, making it not very worthwhile to spend extensive effort in cultivation.

Martial artists who can reach the Sixth Realm are all top-tier in both talent and perseverance, plus the accumulation of years, allowing them to complete the transformation.

Yiren now practices each day by being Jiaren's sparring partner.

Though the two sisters still seem distant on the surface, Li Nuo knows they care deeply about each other in their hearts.

This time, as he ventured out for cultivation, Li Nuo didn't plan to take them along.

It wasn't feasible to take them along.

The three children were still young and couldn't be without their mother. Jiaren and Anning couldn't leave home. Phoenix not only had to manage Jade Sound Pavilion and other Music Workshops but also the family business that couldn't run without her. Once she left, the family's finances might fall into disarray.

Yiren was the only one who might have gone with him, but during their time in Zhao Country, she spent half a year alongside Li Nuo, and this time away from home might not be short. Bringing her again might trigger concerns in Jiaren and Anning.

Yiren realized this too and decided to stay at home obediently, waiting for his return.

Before the Lantern Festival, Li Nuo stayed at home with them.

Ever since Li Nuo arrived in this world, every New Year, there were different changes in the family.

From initially just father and son to now a big family, the home was becoming more lively, and the attachments grew deeper...

With the passing of the Lantern Festival, everything began to return to normal.

The government office opened its gates, the marketplace resumed trading, and unlike before, in the thirty-sixth year of Zhisheng, more smiles appeared on the faces of the people of Chang'an.

In the past year, the court reduced taxes for the lower-class people and legislated a monthly minimum wage, significantly improving the living standards of Chang'an's residents, creating a thriving and vibrant atmosphere throughout the city.

Just as the various departments reopened, news spread from the Secretariat.

Li Nuo, Scheeren of the Secretariat and Imperial Censor, had left Chang'an to inspect the various states.

Upon hearing this news, many officials in Chang'an breathed a long sigh of relief.

Li Nuo, although not bloodthirsty like his father, did bear the Imperial Sword, symbolizing the power to execute wicked citizens or corrupt officials. Who could predict when he might whimsically decide to test the sword's power...

Now that he had finally left, the local officials grew tense instead.

Li Nuo's departure was quite discreet, not stirring much of a commotion.

Recently, from commonfolk to the court, all of Chang'an has been abuzz about another matter.

After the Left and Right Prime Ministers, Daxia finally had a third Great Scholar.

In the Confucian Fifth Realm can one be called a Great Scholar.

Such individuals are invariably persons of integrity dedicated to the country and its people, and Great Scholar Su exemplifies this.

In terms of seniority, he even surpassed the two Prime Ministers.

However, unlike the two Prime Ministers, although Great Scholar Su also achieved top marks in the Imperial Examination decades ago, he chose not to enter officialdom, adopting "propose" as his life's creed instead.

Great Scholar Su believed that while the Imperial Examination could select talents for the country, it turned Confucian disciples exceedingly utilitarian, making them forget the original purpose of learning...

Therefore, he refused the court's appointment, choosing to preach and teach instead, and for decades, he traveled and taught across Daxia, spreading the thoughts of Confucian ancestors to more students.
