Beneath the Acacia Tree, Playing Qian Jin Qing

Su Yu looked at Qian Mian Hong and the others. "Come on, I’ll take you to meet the people of Tushan."

Su Yu had already explained the powers within the Circle Within to them. Since they were foxes themselves, they naturally felt the closest to Tushan.

Su Yu led the nine of them into the city. The moment he appeared before everyone, someone immediately ran off to deliver the news.

Before Su Yu had even reached Tu Shan Hong Hong and the others’ residence, they had all come over.

Su Yiyi immediately shouted, "Daddy!"

Su Yiyi excitedly ran over. It was her first time being apart from Su Yu for so long, and she had missed him terribly.

Su Yu smiled and immediately crouched down, allowing Su Yiyi to crash into him. He picked her up with a smile as she said pitifully, "Daddy, why were you gone for so long? Yi Yi missed you so much."

"I’m sorry. It was Daddy’s fault. Can Yi Yi forgive me?" Su Yu asked, stroking Su Yiyi’s back.

Su Yiyi said somewhat unhappily, "No! Sister Rongrong and the others said I can’t forgive Daddy! Unless, unless…"

Su Yu smiled at her words, glanced at the three Tu Shan Rong Rong sisters, then looked back at Su Yiyi. "My little darling, unless what? Tell me. Daddy will definitely grant it."

Su Yiyi’s eyes darted around before she looked at Tu Shan Rong Rong. Su Yu smiled. "Why are you looking at Sister Rongrong?"

With her lips pursed, Su Yiyi looked at Su Yu pitifully. "I forgot what Sister Rongrong told me to say…"

Su Yu burst out laughing and scraped Su Yiyi’s little nose. Then he looked at Tu Shan Rong Rong. "Go on, you little rascal. What bad idea are you plotting this time?"

Tu Shan Rong Rong smiled. "Master, what bad idea could I possibly have? I just want Master to give each of my sisters a suitable weapon. I know Master has plenty of treasures, so you won’t refuse, right?"

Su Yu thought back and realized that aside from Tushan Yaya, who had an Infinity Wine Gourd, he really had never seen the three of them use any magical artifacts.

Su Yu nodded. "Alright, I’ll give them to you later. First, let me introduce them. The youngest of these nine is my second disciple. The rest are all my students."

Everyone immediately turned their eyes toward Qian Mian Hong and the others. Qian Mian Hong gave a slight salute. "Qian Mian Hong greets you all."

The others stepped forward one after another and saluted as well.

Tu Shan Rong Rong pinched her fingers in calculation and smiled. "So you’re all learning the guqin from Master. Although we study different things, I’ll be your senior sister from now on. You can settle down in Tushan without worry."

Qian Mian Hong and the others were instantly stunned. They wondered how Tu Shan Rong Rong knew they were learning the guqin from Su Yu.

Su Yu smiled at Tu Shan Rong Rong and rubbed her head. "Little girl, it seems you haven’t slacked off these past three years. You can now calculate anyone who has even a trace of karmic connection with me. Not bad. That’s quite impressive!"

Tu Shan Rong Rong chuckled. "No, no. It’ll only be truly impressive when I can calculate Master."

"You want to calculate me? Then keep practicing for another eight hundred thousand to a million years. Enough of that. You three girls, help settle these nine in. I just promised to play the qin for the Acacia Tree, so I’ll be leaving first." With that, Su Yu carried Su Yiyi away.

Su Yiyi’s eyes rolled around before she pressed her little head against Su Yu’s face and whispered, "Daddy, while you were gone, Yi Yi accidentally got into trouble. Daddy, please punish Yi Yi."

As he walked, Su Yu smiled. "Oh? What trouble did my little darling cause?"

"Earlier, when Yi Yi was playing with Xiao Bai, I accidentally set a house on fire and burned it down. My sisters didn’t blame Yi Yi, but Yi Yi caused trouble, so Yi Yi should be punished," Su Yiyi said with a pitiful little face.

Su Yu knew that the Xiao Bai Su Yiyi mentioned had to be the White Enchantress. He patted Su Yiyi’s little head. "Did you apologize to the owner of the house?"

"Yi Yi did. That sister didn’t blame Yi Yi," Su Yiyi answered.

Su Yu calculated with his fingers and found that the house had burned down just a few days ago. After thinking for a moment, he said, "Alright then. Daddy will punish Yi Yi… Hmm, starting tomorrow, Yi Yi will help Daddy build a house for that sister. Does Yi Yi agree?"

Su Yiyi immediately nodded hard. She had caused trouble, and neither Tu Shan Rong Rong nor the foxes of Tushan blamed her, but she herself felt that mistakes deserved punishment. Su Yu also believed that children could not be spoiled in their education. He could dote on her, but when she made a mistake, he would not simply tell her that it was fine.

Only by making her accept punishment could this matter teach her a lesson and prevent it from happening again. If he kept telling her it was fine, that would not be pampering her—it would be indulging her, and it would only harm Yi Yi in the end.

For the first time, Su Yu felt that raising a child was not easy. Many things had to be considered and handled seriously; there could not be the slightest carelessness.

Beneath the Acacia Tree, Su Yu set Su Yiyi down and sat cross-legged on the ground. Su Yiyi obediently sat beside him as Su Yu smiled and took out the Taigu Yiyin Qin.

His hands rested on the qin. Before the music even began, the Acacia Tree’s leaves began falling one after another, as though expressing its feelings.

Su Yu’s fingers brushed across the strings, and the music quietly began.

Zheng, zhengzheng, zheng, zhengzheng, zheng…

"Qian Jin Qing," one of the Qin Sect's Nine Famous Songs. Effect: Purification.

What Su Yu was playing was Qian Jin Qing. This piece benefited plants and animals that had developed intelligence. The Origin Nurturing Heart Calming Melody benefited them as well, but the Acacia Tree had heard that melody countless times already, so Su Yu changed to another piece.

When the piece ended, the Acacia Tree’s leaves stopped falling. Su Yu smiled and stood up. "That’s all for today. I’ll be leaving now. Starting tomorrow, my students and disciples will practice the qin here. You’re in for a treat."

The Acacia Tree swayed slightly, as though saying that Su Yu’s disciples could never play as beautifully as Su Yu himself. Still, they would be tolerable enough.

Not long after, Su Yu returned with Su Yiyi.

After returning to the residence, he saw Tu Shan Hong Hong and her two sisters chatting with Qian Mian Hong and the other nine at the entrance to the main hall. They seemed to be getting along quite happily. Then again, they were all fox demons, so it was hardly strange that they felt close to one another.

Qian Mian Hong and the others were telling Tu Shan Hong Hong and her sisters about matters beyond the Circle Within. Su Yiyi immediately ran over to become part of the audience. Su Yu smiled and left. He had no interest in such things; with a flick of his fingers, what could he not learn?

Su Yu returned to his room and began considering what weapons he should make for the three Tu Shan Rong Rong sisters.
