AST 1268 – Trust Is Very Important, Forget Bad Feelings

“Come lass, let me introduce you. This is my wife Di Chen. Di Chen, she’s a daughter I’ve picked up. You can call her Qing Sha!” Qing Shui smiled and took Qing Sha’s hand as he brought her toward Di Chen.

“Father, what do you mean that you picked me up? Don’t be saying it in such a bad way. Hello Madame!” Qing Sha mumbled toward Qing Shui before she smiled and said to Di Chen.

Qing Sha’s smile was very rare. Unless one was on very good terms with Qing Shui, it would be very hard to see it.

Di Chen took Qing Sha’s hands and said with smile, “Hello, Sha`er. In the future, just treat me as one of you. If there’s anything that you find inconvenient to tell him, just tell me. If it’s something within my means, I’ll definitely help you.”

“Madame is the best!” It was rare to see Qing Sha in such a good mood.

“Madame is really beautiful. Father’s expectations are really high.” Qing Sha mumbled and said. However, everyone around could hear her.

“Alright, let’s all go in. It’s considered a small reunion today. You guys just rest, I’ll go cook.” Qing Shui told all of them to go in.

“Excellent, excellent. You must cook more today. It’s been awhile since we’ve eaten your cooking.”

…

Qing Shui was very fast. Di Chen had initially wanted to help him but was rejected. He told her to chat with them. This little work was still considered to be quite easy for him.

After a few polite exchanges and chatting, Qing Shui had enough to eat and he put down his bowl and chopsticks. The ladies had already finished eating. He asked, “How’s the Heaven Secrets Academy doing recently?”

“There doesn’t seem to be any changes on the appearance, but inside, there’s still some changes.” The Eldest Princess smiled and said.

“Oh? What changes are there?” Qing Shui was very curious as well.

“The Saint Child Band has lost a lot of influence while the Lord Sect appears to be still managed by Tian Jianxian. However on the outside, it’s managed by Tian Jiange.” the Eldest Princess looked at Qing Shui and said.

Qing Shui thought of how he had been surrounded by people when he left. Amongst those people, there were experts from these clans. They wanted to get rid of him, but didn’t expected that they would be the ones to lose their lives instead. He wondered what reaction these clans would have once they knew that he was back.

“How’s the Breezing Wind Veranda?” Qing Shui looked at the Eldest Princess and asked.

“The Breezing Wind Veranda is a lot stronger than before. Although there’s only about over 3,000 people, they are comparatively people who are more outstanding and has potential. They are also dependable people.” At the mention of the Breezing Wind Veranda, the Eldest Princess sounded quite satisfied.

“Mmmm, not bad. Your cultivation has been improving at quite a fast rate as well. If Chen`er doesn’t wish to stay at the Lotus Sect, what do you think about getting her to come and help you?” Qing Shui smiled and said.

“You rascal, what are you trying to say? If Sister Chen wants to come, I’d rather give her the Breezing Wind Veranda.” the Eldest Princess threw a complicated gaze at Qing Shui.

“Little rascal, there’s nothing more for you to do here. If I really were to come here, I’ll discuss it with Sunu.” Di Chen took the Eldest Princess hand and said to Qing Shui.

Qing Shui smiled and took one of Di Chen’s and the Eldest Princess’ hands respectively. “Alright, alright, let’s talk it over nicely. Family members must be more broad-minded toward each other.”

“Alright. Qing Shui, you must remember what I told you in the past. Let’s talk about something else.” The Eldest Princess resumed her casual tone and said.

It was at this moment that Qing Shui realized that the relationship between himself and the Eldest Princess had returned to what it was like in the past. This made him feel very uncomfortable. Women’s heart really changed really fast. Was she jealous? Or…

Trust?

Qing Shui felt that the Eldest Princess had misunderstood what he meant. She must be feeling that the reason he brought Di Chen over was because he didn’t trust her. As he thought of this, he slapped his forehead. He was really an idiot. If he were in her shoes, he would probably feel the same.

If a person from his previous life were to have two or more women, the person wouldn’t dare to let the women meet each other. Although this wasn’t the case in this world, it was impossible for the women to be get along entirely. In fact, till now, Qing Shui wasn’t even sure if there were any barriers between his women.

“I’m sorry, I don’t have that intention.”

Qing Sha, Yan Jinyu and the Seventh Princess had left. Qing Shui took Di Chen’s and the Eldest Princess hands and they sat down on the couch.

The Eldest Princess now knew that Qing Shui didn’t have that intention either. However, she didn’t know why she felt so aggrieved previously and her heart just sunk. She also realized that unknowingly, Qing Shui’s image in her heart had become so clear.

“There’s no need to apologize. I was the one who’s narrow-minded.” The Eldest Princess sighed and said.

She didn’t know why she sighed either, but it made Qing Shui felt a little bad for the Eldest Princess.

“You aren’t being narrow-minded. I only hope that you don’t have such thinking. I’m not raising my guards against you. For your sake, I’d also be willing to fight with anyone, even if it’s at the risk of my life. Although it’s not worth dying for brute courage for the sake of women, I’m willing to do these for you guys. I don’t wish to see you guys feeling aggrieved.” Qing Shui said seriously while his hands clenched tightly around theirs.

“Stop that. Why are you saying all those unlucky things.” The Eldest Princess eventually let go off some of these emotions.

Di Chen sat at the side and looked at Qing Shui, as she smiled, but she didn’t say any word. However, her heart was very, very close to Qing Shui. He was really a rascal.
