AST 971 – Trivial Matter, Girls of Age Should Marry, Lies Exposed

“How long has it been since the Guo Clan’s marriage proposal?” Qing Shui seemed to have noticed a neglected topic.

“A year!” Qing Yi said.

“Aren’t you afraid that he would marry someone else after this much time has passed?” Qing Shui laughed.

“Elder brother Shui, you’re underestimating sister Qingqing’s charms. As long as sister Qingqing refuses to marry, he would wait for her every day. If she decided to not marry this year, then he would wait a year.” Qing Bei said while giggling.

“Xiao Bei, don’t spew nonsense,” Qingqing said in embarrassment.

“Mother, you and Guo Clan should get in touch and choose a date.” Qing Shui laughed.

“Alright, then tomorrow we will have someone deliver a letter to the Guo Clan and tell them that you have returned. I expect that they would arrive soon afterwards. Let’s just have you guys discuss Qingqing’s matter.” Qing Yi said while laughing. She was truly happy. Her son had finally matured. Once they were of age, every male should take a wife and every female should take a husband. Having her daughter remain single here was not true happiness.

Qing Shui smiled. “You are our mother. You should be present for this matter. I’ll also come forward to make sure that all is well for Qingqing.”

Half a day passed by in a blink of an eye. Grandfather Qing Luo, Uncle, Qing You, Qing Bei and the rest of the extended family left. Only Qing Shui’s direct family remained, even the children were quiet.

Qing Yu and Qing Yan sat within Qing Shui’s embrace. Qing Yu was asleep. Meanwhile, Shi Qingzhuang picked up Qing Yan while Huoyun Liu-Li grabbed a small blanket and covered her daughter. Qing Shui continued to embrace her to let her sleep.

“Zun`er, Ming`er, wake up early tomorrow. We will be training in the backyard. Okay?” Qing Shui said while looking at his two sons.

“Okay!” Qing Zun’s eyes were filled with excitement. Although he was young, he had heard a lot about his father. He was aware that his father was very strong.

“No, I don’t want to train with you!” Although Qing Ming was small, Qing Shui could sense an evilish aura emitting from this child. It was the complete opposite of Qing Zun. Qing Zun emitted a feeling of vitality while Qing Ming emitted something bad…

Was it because their names were Zun and Ming..?

“Ming`er, listen to your father.” Mingyue Gelou said anxiously.

“Gelou, children being a bit rebellious is okay,” Qing Shui said with a smile.

Mingyue Gelou could only helplessly shake her head.

“These are for you all.” Qing Shui took out several specially crafted Violet Jade Swords. Yiye Jiange, Luan Luan, Di Qing, Canghai Mingyue, Shi Qingzhuang… he gave all of them one each.

“Gelou, do you prefer to wear gloves or sharp beast claws on your fists as a weapon?” Qing Shui asked while looking at Mingyue Gelou. Mingyue Gelou had been cultivating Tiger Form without the addition of weapons.

Fist Masters on the Main Continent all wore formidable fighting gloves. Most were made from metal with barbed knuckles or sharp spikes. Some even lace their gloves with poison… …

“I’ll have beast claws then!” Mingyue Gelou said after thinking for a bit.

“Gelou, your Tiger Form has evolved.” Qing Shui stated with a bit of surprise.

“You can tell?” Mingyue Gelou was surprised.

“Just a guess!”

……

“Ming`er, tell Daddy what you want to do? If you train with daddy, I’ll agree to anything.” Qing Shui smiled at Qing Ming.

“Really?” Qing Ming said with his eyes wide open.

“Of course!” Qing Shui replied with a smile.

“I want to play with the bow and arrows and hunt birds!”

Qing Shui understood the gist of it. This kid probably wanted to play with the bow and arrows but was forbidden from doing so. Probably because the other family members were afraid that the other kids would get injured. Thus, he was not allowed to play with it.

“This will not be an issue, if you listen.” Qing Shui said with a smile.

“I’ll obey you as long as you let me play with the bows and arrows.” Qing Ming looked at Qing Shui, pondering on whether or not Qing Shui was telling the truth.
