”I know, I'll ask for Xiao You's opinion first.” Shui Qinan could not bear to let Xiao You stay alone in a place he did not know for three years. She also knew that Mo Zichen's words made sense. She could not guard Xiao You for her entire life, and for some things, if Xiao You did not experience it personally, there wouldn't be any effect. But Xiao You was too young, so she could not be at ease.
”You might not be at ease with Xiao You, but I keep having the feeling that he's very young. However, Xiao You's strength is at the peak of the Blue Rank, so ordinary people can't do anything to him.” On one hand, he truly hoped that Xiao You would be able to gain some experience. On the other hand, he also hoped that Shui Qinan would no longer have to worry about something because of Xiao You, and would not dare to let go of the hand to do what she wanted.
Shui Qinan used her right hand to support her head as she thought deeply. Suddenly, a clear voice came from outside the door: ”Mother, send me there. Xiao You will take care of himself.”
Shui Qinan raised her head and looked at Xiao You. Xiao You's round eyes flickered as they looked at Shui Qinan with determination.
”Xiao You.” Shui Qinan looked at Xiao You with a complicated expression. Shui Qinan waved for Xiao You to come over, while Xiao You obediently walked over and looked at him.
”Do you know that if you really go, you can't even go back to your mother's side for three years, hmm?” Shui Qinan said as she gently looked at Xiao You.
”Three years is really fast, and I will soon be able to see all of you again. By then, mother, I might even be stronger than you.” Xiao You said as he shook his head.
”You!” Shui Qinan's sigh contained a lot of helplessness and love.
”Mother, don't worry. Furthermore, Xiao You is so cute, they will still let me get to that whatever Nangong Academy. ” Xiao You pouted and said softly.
Shui Qinan was finally amused by Xiao You. Seeing how Xiao You was so sensible, he was a little emotional as well. He frankly said: ”Then I'll go prepare the things Xiao You will use.”
”Mm, I'll make a trip to the Imperial Palace tomorrow.” Shui Qinan said indifferently.
”Okay, do you want me to go with you?” Mo Zichen probed.
”It doesn't matter. Do you know when Chu Er and the others came back?” Shui Qinan always called Chu Tianyan Er Yan, she was not used to feeling that Chu Er was suitable for Chu Tianyan, so she kept calling him that.
”Older brother Xuan sent a message back saying that she'll be back very soon and ask you to wait for him. There's no news from Eryan, and there's no news from Yun Si either.” Mo Zichen said. The Yun Si that he mentioned was Zuo Yiyun, who was the smallest among the four of them, so Shui Qinan could not be considered as one of them.
”Chu Er should be fine. I'm a bit worried about Yi Yun.” What Shui Qinan said was the truth. Zuo Yiyun had always seen her as a big sister, and sometimes, she was also very roguish in front of him, so over time, Shui Qinan really began to see him as a little sister.
”Don't worry, Yun Si is called the iron lady. She is the only candidate to be the Patriarch, so it's not too late to support her with Zuo. Why would it be difficult for her?” Mo Zichen consoled her. Ever since he had become the Clan Master, his actions had become more and more graceful after reading the clan's secret history.
Shui Qinan looked at Mo Zichen with admiration and said, ”You have improved a lot compared to before.”
These days, there were many people who praised Mo Zichen and he was able to reply with a few sentences. But just one sentence from Shui Qinan made him feel embarrassed. Mo Zichen scratched his head and said: ”Don't say that, I'm still much weaker than you.”
”Mother, did Xiao You not improve at all? Mother, you're not even praising Xiao You!” Xiao You whined unhappily.
”Xiao You has always been very powerful.” Shui Qinan hugged Xiao You, rubbed Xiao You's cheeks and said: ”Xiao You has gotten fatter again, Mother can't even hold him anymore.”
