Chapter: 1128 (1/2)

1128 – Yun Duan, Qing Bei, Yuchang. There Is No Way To Achieve Perfection

Qing Shui drew a portrait of them while Qing Yu stood on a stool next to him and watched. Looking at Qing Yu, Qing Shui thought of Qing Yun. Earlier, he knew that Yun Duan and Qing Yun happened to head back for a visit previously and they should be back soon. By now, they should already be rushing back and shouldn’t be far.

Another person was Yuchang. This daughter of his wasn’t young anymore and he heard that she had gotten quite close to a young man recently. Qing Shui had heard this from Mingyue Gelou and she had asked Qing Shui of his plans.

Qing Shui felt that his daughter was old now and mature. They could decide on their own things and he would never use his daughters for things like political marriages. He felt that there was no need for this and he didn’t like it either.

Yuchang had also tamed a powerful demonic beast earlier. He had watched both Yuchang and Luan Luan grow up and had treated both of them like his own daughters. These two daughters also had a strong attachment to him.

“Father, don’t be in a daze! Get on with your drawing!” Qing Ming saw that Qing Shui went into a daze for very long and couldn’t help but urged him on.

Qing Shui regained his consciousness. He would go into a daze when he thought of things. Qing Shui patted Qing Ming’s head and continued drawing. Qing Shui’s drawing skills had reached a very high level of mastery, to the level of drawing bones. As for the level of drawing souls and level of drawing divine essence… They were all legendary existences.

Very soon, the kids appeared vividly on the paper, each of their images were very lifelike and extremely beautiful. It was as if the characters had flesh, blood, and even bones. Qing Shui’s work was much better than the portrait artists outside.

“Father draws so well!” Qing Yin smiled and said enviously.

Qing Yan also looked at Qing Shui with great admiration. The two boys only felt that it was good but they didn’t hold much interest in drawing.

Looking at his daughters’ envious gaze, Qing Shui recalled a saying. Every father is the hero in their children’s heart. The person everyone admired the most when they were kids would be their father and they would feel that their father could accomplish anything.

“Practice well, and you can become better than me.” Qing Shui smiled and encouraged them.

“Ah, Brother Shui is drawing? Come, draw one for your beautiful younger sister as well.”

At this moment, Qing Bei and Yuchang came in. Qing Bei had a tall and slender figure and appeared mature now. However, she hadn’t lost her pure image and she still had her hair tied in a ponytail, her appearance was refreshing and filled with vigor.

Yuchang, on the other hand, had a disposition similar to Mingyue Gelou’s. She was poised and her bright eyes reflected intelligence. With one look, one would be able to tell that she was a clever young lady who was quiet. However, she could never be neglected.

“Father!”

Yuchang greeted Qing Shui and grabbed one of his arms while pinching Qing Yu’s cheek, causing her to feel displeased. Qing Yu reached out her hands to ask Qing Shui to carry her.

Qing Shui smiled and picked up Qing Yu, then stored the drawing he had just finished. He smiled and looked at Yuchang, “I heard that our Yuchang has someone she likes. When will you be bringing him back to let us have a look?”

Yuchang looked at Qing Shui with a blush, “Father, his background is mediocre. I’m scared that you guys would not approve…”

“Foolish girl. Your father had said before that I’ll definitely let you guys make your own choices about your marriage. As long as you like him, I’ll support you even if he is a bad guy. The prerequisite is that he treats you well. If he doesn’t, I’ll skin him.” Qing Shui said seriously with a smile.

“Father is the best! You don’t disagree?” Yuchang asked in surprise.

“Why would I object? If you like him, bring him back. Your father supports you. So what if he doesn’t come from a good background? Our clan didn’t use to be good in the past as well and even now, we’re merely a parvenu, a big one.” Qing Shui laughed and said.

Both Yuchang and Qing Bei burst out laughing. Qing Bei laughed and said, “When we were back in Qing Village, we would never even dare to dream that a day like this would come. Back then, even reaching Xiantian was an unreachable dream.”

Qing Bei seemed to miss the past a little just thinking about it. She also felt that it was all a little unbelievable. In Qing Clan, Qing Bei was the most talented one aside from Qing Shui. She was the second most talented in terms of both cultivation and knowledge. In comparison, Qing You was more naive.

Qing Shui was a unique case and could not be gauged with normal standards.

“Thank you, Father. He is only a Xiantian cultivator now and had just attained a breakthrough. His talent should be considered good.” Yuchang said, a little embarrassed.

“Even if his talent is good, it’s also thanks to our Little Yuchang. He has been beaten up many times by our Yuchang.” Qing Bei laughed.

“Oh? Little Bei? What is that about?” Qing Shui sounded very interested.

Yuchang blushed but didn’t stop Qing Bei, so she carried on. “When Yuchang went out to hunt some game for the kids, she chanced upon that guy. He had been forced into a desperate situation by an Earth Bear King and our Yuchang was kindhearted and saved him.”

“What happened next?” Qing Shui smiled and asked.

“The two of them fell in love at first sight. I met him before. He is quite handsome and righteous. Yuchang is conservative but thankfully he isn’t. He is quite insistent about his love for Yuchang but he didn’t pester her annoyingly. Every day, he would stand a distance from our house, waiting for our Yuchang.”

“Because of this, he was beaten up by the lass?” Qing Shui asked.

“No. That guy wanted the rights to pursue our Yuchang, so Yuchang said that she’ll give him a chance if he’s able to breakthrough to Xiantian. Actually, the lass is just being conservative…”
