Chapter 536: A Peaceful Life, The Future of Three
Looking at Sun Yuqing’s little True Spirit entering the Reincarnation, Chen Changsheng turned and left.
At that moment, Zhang Yusheng suddenly appeared beside him and said, “Elder Brother Changsheng, why are you leaving so soon?”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng waved his hand behind him and replied, “Your sisters are waiting for me to go back for dinner.”
“I understand the general situation of the Reincarnation. You’ve managed it well.”
“The current small-scale chaos is temporary; it will get better in the future. I believe in you.”
After speaking, Chen Changsheng gradually vanished.
Watching Chen Changsheng disappear, Zhang Yusheng pursed his lips but ultimately did not say anything to keep him.
Since the end of the Reincarnation War, Zhang Yusheng had clearly felt that Chen Changsheng’s heart was no longer in this world.
To be precise, his heart no longer belonged to this world.
Thinking of this, Zhang Yusheng murmured, “After all, there is no feast that does not end?”
……
Dragon Tiger Mountain.
A small courtyard quietly stood there, and from a distance, wisps of smoke could be seen rising above it.
“You’re back! Hurry and wash your hands; dinner will be ready soon.”
“Yin Qi and Chen Xiang will be back today. I made a few dishes that you all love.”
Potato was skillfully preparing bowls and chopsticks.
Looking at the steaming dishes on the table, Chen Changsheng smiled and said, “You’re a bit biased, aren’t you?”
“You usually don’t make so many dishes. If the children aren’t back, I can’t enjoy a good meal!”
Hearing Chen Changsheng’s words, Potato immediately rolled her eyes and replied, “When it comes to cooking, my skills can’t compare to yours.”
“I thought you would help with things at home, but you just walk around with your hands behind your back like a grandmaster. Just getting you to eat is already a blessing.”
Faced with Potato’s complaints, Chen Changsheng smiled and did not rebut.
Soon, a lively voice came in from outside the door.
“Auntie, what delicious food did you make today? I could smell it from two miles away!”
As the voice fell, a handsome young man walked in.
His clothes were quite ordinary but clean and tidy.
He walked in cheerfully, but without any ceremonial demeanor.
At first glance, he was full of youthful vigor, the breeze that passed by him carrying a touch of youthful aura.
After this energetic young man entered, another young man appeared at the door.
Unlike the previously lively young man, this one looked somewhat steady and exuded a noble air.
“Dad, I’m back.”
“Mm!”
Chen Changsheng nodded and said, “It’s good you’re back. Quickly wash your hands and eat; your mother made a feast for you.”
Soon, the four of them sat in front of the table.
Looking at the two empty spots, Chen Xiang spoke up, “Dad, where are Mom and Elder Brother?”
“Your mother is in the room giving lessons; recently, many people have signed up to learn.”
“As for your elder brother, he should be busy with matters at the Heavenly Court; there are some things that need to be handled there.”
“You two have graduated from the Mountain River Academy, so there are some things I still need to remind you about.”
“Our family is not wealthy, so you should be cautious and frugal when out in the world.”
“Your tuition fees were earned through your mother’s hard work; I hope you both can cherish that.”
Hearing this, Chen Xiang couldn’t help but twitch her lips and said, “Dad, you say similar things every year.”
“I’m well aware of our family’s situation.”
“Five years ago, you bet with the Master and lost eight million Divine Source in one go.”
“After losing, you even mocked the Master for being a country bumpkin who hasn’t seen the world.”
“Given that situation, do you really think I would believe what you say?”
Seeing Chen Xiang expose his “lie,” Chen Changsheng chuckled and waved his hand.
“You child, must it always be like this? Why be so serious?”
Just then, Su Wan’er came out of the room.
“Don’t mind him; when your dad is being serious, there’s not a single true word from his mouth.”
Hearing this, Chen Changsheng was at a loss for words: “What? Why did you also go against me?”
“You still have the nerve to speak. When Xiang’er and Qi’er went to the academy, you promised to prepare properly.”
“In the end, you only gave them ten taels of gold each. In the eyes of cultivators, gold is no different from stones on the ground.”
“Do you want them to beg at the academy?”
“That’s not the case. As the old saying goes, ‘raise boys in poverty and girls in wealth’; I’m just trying to toughen them up.”
“You don’t have to toughen them up like that.”
“At that time, they hadn’t completely fasted, and meals at the academy required Divine Source.”
“If it weren’t for Ziping frequently subsidizing them, they would have turned into wildlings by now.”
Upon hearing this, Chen Changsheng clicked his tongue and said, “That can’t be entirely blamed on me; meals at Mountain River Academy used to be free.”
“Who knew the rules would change in just a few years?”
Facing Chen Changsheng’s explanation, Su Wan’er shot him a big eye-roll, then looked at Chen Xiang and the others.
“Xiang’er, if you ever run out of money, just tell your mother.”
“I got it, Mom. You’re the most caring.”
“Smack!”
Chen Xiang’s hand was swatted back by Chen Changsheng with chopsticks because this guy, while talking, had already reached for a chicken leg on the plate.
“You can’t eat before everyone is here. If you dare do it again, I’ll make you eat with your feet for a year.”
“Dad, if the younger brother wants to eat, just let him eat.”
“Our family isn’t one to stubbornly stick to rules like some old fossils.”
Ziping grinned as he walked in from outside, and with him backing her up, Chen Xiang quickly added, “Exactly! Living happily is what matters; why make life so complicated?”
“And I can already sense my brother’s aura; otherwise, how would I…”
Chen Xiang’s words halted halfway because Chen Changsheng’s gaze had already shot over.
Faced with Chen Changsheng’s stare, the usually fearless Chen Xiang immediately shrank her neck.
Seeing this, Chen Changsheng calmly said, “You all spoil him too much.”
“Among the three brothers, this guy is the least acceptable.”
“While I still have the energy to manage him, I must make him change this bad habit.”
“Alright, let’s eat first. After dinner, we can slowly teach him a lesson.”
Saying this, Chen Changsheng picked up his chopsticks, and once he moved them, the family started to eat in succession.
However, amusingly, the chicken leg on the table still ended up in Chen Xiang’s bowl.
Swallowing the tender and juicy chicken meat, Chen Changsheng said lightly, “You three are already over sixteen.”
“According to the rules of the cultivation world, you are still children, but according to earthly rules, you are already adults.”
“Since you have learned quite a bit, what are your plans going forward?”
Hearing this question, Ziping and the others all paused their movements.
Because this seemingly casual question was about to determine the direction of the three’s future.
