Four Return to the Island, Psychological Trauma

After leaving Huang Laoxie and Feng Heng’s room, Su Yu found Huang Rong and Huang Rou practicing the qin. Smiling, he rubbed Huang Rong’s little cheek and said, "Xiao Rong Er, Father and Mother have agreed. When Eldest Senior Brother and the others leave, we’ll go to Jiangnan with them."

"Really? That’s wonderful! Little Sister, we can go out and have fun!" Huang Rong said joyfully as she looked at Huang Rou.

Huang Rou said without much interest, "But I don’t want to go out. I just want to stay on the island."

Su Yu smiled at Huang Rou. "Xiao Rou Er, don’t you want to visit Guan Ying, younger brother’s home?"

"Mm… all right, then. I want to go too." Only then did Huang Rou show a hint of interest.

At noon, just before lunch, Huang Laoxie and Feng Heng arrived at the place where Huang Rong and Huang Rou practiced the qin. Su Yu and the other two were also there. Huang Laoxie said, "By my reckoning, they should be here soon. Let’s go to the shore and meet them."

Su Yu nodded, then scooped one girl up in each arm and headed out. Huang Laoxie’s face darkened. "You brat, at least let me carry one! They’re both my daughters!"

As he walked, Su Yu laughed. "They’re both my little sisters too. Let’s go."

Huang Laoxie stared at the backs of Su Yu and the two girls with a grim expression. Feng Heng smiled. "All right, you know perfectly well that Shao Tian has always been close to Rong Er and Rou Er. The two girls are even closer to Shao Tian than they are to us, especially Rou Er."

Huang Laoxie sighed. "Tell me, how is that brat so good at entertaining children when he’s so young? I’ve really failed as a father."

Feng Heng smiled. "I feel the same way. Enough of that, let’s go. Isn’t it a good thing that the three siblings get along so well?"

"It is a good thing, but I’m just curious. How is that brat so experienced and skilled at taking care of children?" Huang Laoxie racked his brains but still could not figure it out.

The reason Su Yu was so skilled was that he had taken care of Yi Yi before, so he understood these things.

Seashore

After Su Yu brought Huang Rong and Huang Rou to the shore, he wrapped them in True Qi to keep the cold wind from hitting them. The two had begun cultivating a year ago, but for once, they had been remarkably alike: neither of them particularly liked cultivation. If Su Yu had not forced them to cultivate for a day or two, they would probably still have been ordinary people.

Although they had only cultivated for a day or two, their strength had already reached the peak of the third-rate martial artist realm. Even a genius needed at least a year of grueling training to enter the first martial artist realm, third-rate. This alone showed just how great the potential of an Innate Spiritual Treasure was.

Third-rate peak martial artists naturally did not fear the cold wind, but Su Yu did not want them to suffer even the slightest harm, so he wrapped them in True Qi. In any case, it consumed very little True Qi and would recover within minutes.

Not long after, Huang Laoxie and Feng Heng also arrived at the shore. After the five waited for a while, they saw a large ship slowly approaching Peach Blossom Island.

Over the years, Huang Laoxie had long forgiven Qu Lingfeng and the other three. However, he had not made all of them return to the island, because he felt they had grown up. Both Qu Lingfeng and Lu Chengfeng already had children of their own, and they had also established Peach Blossom Manor in Jiangnan quite successfully, so Huang Laoxie did not make them remain on the island.

After all, young eagles had grown up. They could not be trapped on Peach Blossom Island forever.

The large ship soon reached the shore. Qu Lingfeng and the other three, along with the four-year-old Lu Guanying and Qu Xiaoling, all disembarked and came ashore.

The four brought the two children before Huang Laoxie and Feng Heng, then called out, "Master, Mistress."

Lu Guanying and Qu Xiaoling also chirped, "Greetings, Grandmaster and Grandmistress."

Huang Laoxie smiled as he picked up Lu Guanying and Qu Xiaoling. "All right, let’s go. Lunch is already prepared. Stay a few more days this time."

Qu Lingfeng smiled and nodded. "All right."

Then everyone returned to the manor. The servants had already prepared the meal and were simply waiting for everyone to eat.

After returning, Feng Heng looked at the servants and said, "You all have three days off. Leave the island and go home. Tomorrow is the Mid-Autumn Festival, so go spend time with your families."

Feng Heng’s maid said, "Madam, but if we leave, who will cook?"

Feng Heng smiled. "What? Even if my cooking isn’t the best under heaven, it’s still quite good, isn’t it? Do you think we’ll starve? Go home, all of you."

Upon hearing this, all the servants nodded happily and withdrew from the hall.

Feng Mofeng smiled. "Mistress, you’re as considerate as ever."

"Enough chatter. Eat," Huang Laoxie said. Everyone immediately took their seats. Huang Rong and Huang Rou sat on either side of Su Yu, while Lu Guanying and Qu Xiaoling immediately climbed down from Huang Laoxie’s lap and went over to Huang Rong and Huang Rou.

Lu Guanying and Qu Xiaoling immediately called out happily, "Hello, Little Martial Uncle! Hello, Sister Rong Er and Sister Rou Er!"

Su Yu reached out and rubbed the two little girls’ heads. "You two little girls are growing up too. You’ve started cultivating already, right?"

Lu Guanying chuckled. "Little Martial Uncle, my father, Martial Uncle, and the others all said that Xiao Ling and I have good talent. We’ll definitely reach third-rate within two years."

Lu Guanying was very happy, but Qu Xiaoling was not. She looked at Su Yu and asked, "Little Martial Uncle, I heard from my father that when you were three, you were already as powerful as Grandmaster. Is that true?"

Su Yu smiled and nodded. "Mm. Xiao Ling, don’t tell me you want to surpass me?"

Qu Xiaoling nodded with a serious expression. "Yes! One day, I’ll surpass you, Little Martial Uncle!"

Su Yu smiled and pinched Qu Xiaoling’s little cheek. "All right, I’ll be waiting."

Of the two, Lu Guanying was somewhat carefree, while Qu Xiaoling was very clever and sensible from a young age. Compared with Lu Guanying, Huang Rong, and Huang Rou, she was the most diligent in cultivation. In any case, she possessed an intense obsession with martial arts.

After lunch, Su Yu brought the four children to the place where Huang Rong and Huang Rou practiced the qin. Huang Rou took out two Lollipops and smilingly handed them to Lu Guanying and Qu Xiaoling.

Lu Guanying and Qu Xiaoling’s eyes lit up when they saw the Lollipops. They snatched them up, then turned their backs to Huang Rong and desperately started licking them.

Don’t ask why the two of them acted like this. Every time they came, Su Yu gave them candy and snacks. A few times, Huang Rong had snatched their Lollipops away. It seemed to have left the two with psychological trauma…
