Chapter 42 - The State Preceptor was More Important II (2/2)

Seeing Dai’er, Nalan Zhangqian’s heart melted, his eyes filled up with tenderness.

“Dai’er is such a good girl. What have you brought me?”

“It’s a sweet and juicy fruit.”

Nalan Dai’er stretched out her hand and revealed a crimson red fruit in her tiny palm. Feng Ruqing gave her five, and she had only eaten one. The rest was for her father, mother, grandfather, and brother.

The sweet scent and spiritual qi from the fruit proved that it was the Divine-Spirit Fruit in Nalan Dai’er’s hand. Even though the spiritual qi of the Grade-1 spirit herb was faint, a spirit herb was truly rare and expensive in Liu Yun Kingdom. With Nalan Dai’er’s allowance, she could never afford such a spirit herb.

“Ah? Dai’er… Where did you get this from?” Stunned, Nalan Zhangqian asked solemnly.

“I bought it.” Feng Ruqing had taught Nalan Dai’er a sweet lie. She did not want Nalan Dai’er to tell the general that it was she who had given the Divine-Spirit Fruit to Nalan Dai’er. Even though Nalan Dai’er did not know the reason Feng Ruqing did that, she trusted Feng Ruqing and that her cousin would not hurt her.

“Where did you buy it from?” Nalan Zhangqian’s face was growing more solemn as he continued asking.

“I bought it from an old man on the street. I ate this before. It tasted extremely good. So, I bought it for you and mommy.” Nalan Dai’er pouted and lowered her head.

“Did I do something wrong?” It was Feng Ruqing who taught Nalan Dai’er to say this. Even though Nalan Dai’er was feeble-minded, she was not mentally disabled. So, she could still repeat Feng Ruqing’s words.

“No. You have done something incredible. This fruit is truly precious. Dai’er, you are so lucky to have bought this. Do you know where the old man is?”
