Spring days are warm and the courtyard is peaceful.
A blonde girl watched with interest, pinching her chin and murmuring:
"What should we call her then? Calling her Sister Susu is too cumbersome, calling her Master... you two little girls, forget it."
"Just call her Senior Bai!"
Zhiwei held her master’s arm tightly, her little face tense,
"Master has said that in the Cultivation Realm, ability comes first. Sister Susu’s cultivation is above ours, so we should refer to her as a senior."
Qing Jun’s little face turned slightly serious, then bloomed into a bright smile: "Qing Jun got it! How about calling the blonde Auntie! Just call her Aunt Bai!"
"Pfft—" Chen Ye almost choked on his saliva.
Speaking of Auntie, he thought of Mao Qingzhu.
Mao Qingzhu was gentle and elegant, and it felt natural for the two disciples to call her Auntie.
But the Bai Susu in front of him, with her delicate white face and pretty pink lips, though often curling into a contemptuous cold smile, looked nothing like their Auntie!
Bai Susu’s smile froze, she glanced at Chen Ye, nodded and said, "Auntie, huh? Not old enough, how about calling me Grandma..."
Zhiwei’s dark eyes stalled, sensing danger, she wanted to stop Qing Jun but the little girl had already gleefully exclaimed:
"Eh? Call her Grandma Bai?"
The little girl remembered that Master often talked about Grandma Bai.
If Master could call her Grandma, then they could too!
Bai Susu squinted her eyes and pinched Qing Jun’s tender little cheek:
"Not bad, not bad. But if you call me Grandma, what does your Master call me?"
The little girl blinked her big eyes, puzzled: "Qing Jun calls you Grandma, so Master... Qing Jun got it! Master has to call you Mother!"
Zhiwei’s little face suddenly turned cold, she pulled back her junior’s hand, her voice carried rare anger: "Qing Jun! Don’t talk nonsense!"
Usually calm and indifferent, now she was like a bristling kitten, biting her lip, her eyes scanning her master and Bai Susu in a panic, she quickly lowered her head, her voice growing quieter: "Master would never... call you that."
Qing Jun paused.
Mother is just Mother, what’s the big deal?
If Master calls the blonde Mother, then the blonde would be too embarrassed to cling to Master in the future, right?
Bai Susu’s earlobes reddened slightly, she coughed softly, then mischievously said: "Chen Ye, what’s your opinion? It seems unfair to you to be a servant with all your skills. How about... as your disciple suggested?"
"True Inheritor Bai!"
Zhiwei suddenly raised her head, blocking in front of her master and spoke up.
She couldn’t just sit and watch True Inheritor Bai bully her master!
She took a deep breath: "Zhiwei thinks that True Inheritor Bai should recover soon. I’m afraid the Divine Soul Tao Stele has caused damage to True Inheritor Bai’s soul. Let Zhiwei take True Inheritor to the guest room for a proper rest."
Qing Jun tilted her little face, suspiciously staring at her senior.
It’s so confusing for Qing Jun...
Why is Senior angry, does Senior also want to be Master’s Mother?
She furrowed her soft brows, recalling past memories, then suddenly started in shock.
Oh no!
Senior actually does want to be Master’s Mother!
Chen Ye saw the little dark-haired girl’s tense face and knew his eldest disciple was truly unhappy.
Actually Bai Susu was just teasing the two disciples, Qing Jun was merely pretending, going along with Bai Susu.
After all, the little girl is timid but she’s not dumb at all!
But his eldest disciple is too serious...
Chen Ye tried to mediate:
"Alright, alright, we just narrowly escaped death, let’s celebrate first! As for Susu... your injuries haven’t healed, why not stay at our Lisong Valley for a few days to recover. Later, I’ll find you a place to stay."
Bai Susu’s eyes flickered with a hint of defeat.
So strange... she just wanted to play with the two little girls, but why... did Zhiwei take it seriously?
Moreover, these two little girls, each more alert than the other!
It’s as if she would do something to their Master.
But at the end of the day, they are just two little girls!
She couldn’t believe she couldn’t handle two little girls!
"Alright, don’t be mad."
Bai Susu’s competitive spirit rose, her voice gentle like melting spring snow,
"Those were just jokes earlier, I know Zhiwei respects her Master and feels I’ve offended your Master... come on, I guess it’s up to Zhiwei to arrange my accommodations."
She reached out and held Zhiwei’s little hand.
The dark-haired little girl still had a stern face, but feeling the other’s cool palm, remembering that she was severely injured yet still held on to solve problems for Master.
Thinking of this, the vigilance between Zhiwei’s brows softened slightly, hesitated a moment, gently nodding her head.
"Watch..."
Qing Jun watched her senior actually take the bad blonde woman away, and her feeling of crisis only intensified.
To be able to make the usually arrogant and domineering blonde so humble, it must mean she’s plotting something worse!
Maybe she wants to take Senior away too!
"Master!" She quickly ran to Chen Ye, pulling his sleeve, looking anxious, "Senior she... she’s in danger! That blonde woman is definitely going to bully her!"
"Don’t worry." Chen Ye laughed, rubbing her head, "Your senior is not so easy to bully. Rather, you..."
He pinched Qing Jun’s puffed face: "Who was talking nonsense earlier, nearly making your senior cry?"
"I... I didn’t!"
Qing Jun heard that, feeling a bit guilty, her little eyes darting around,
"I... I was helping Master! If Master becomes her son, then she won’t dare to bully you anymore!"
Chen Ye chuckled, picking the little girl up: "That too is for Master’s sake? Okay, then Qing Jun will call me Daddy, and Master is for Qing Jun’s sake too."
