A group of people was dispatched to deliver the new posts, each team heading to different locations, marching in a well-organized manner that clearly indicated they had been trained for this purpose. Was this merely to intimidate us?
Moreover, after the posts were delivered, I received news that the city gates were under strict surveillance. What qualifications did Qi Hao have to enforce such measures? Did he really think of himself as the local emperor of the New State?
As soon as the word "emperor" slipped out, Lady Liang nudged his arm. Liang Shangshan fell silent, lowering his head to drink heavily. After downing several cups, he began to complain about a headache.
Lady Liang explained on his behalf, saying he was getting older and his bad habits were surfacing. He had already shown signs of drunkenness before arriving. Her series of explanations were quite thorough, and in the end, they simply helped him away.
Sang Qingxiao found it amusing. What was he trying to convey? Just delivering a message without any intention of receiving a response, pretending to be drunk and then leaving without a care?
Qi Xiaomian scoffed, "Ha, Old Fox! Afraid I might do something later and blame him for it!" He hadn’t even informed us about how many days ahead Chen Yan had come.
No matter; Qi Xiao Kun would surely know. The post was likely penned by him.
Sang Qingxiao and Qi Xiaomian planned to return to Qi Mansion quickly, but Silly Beast followed closely behind, its blue eyes fixated on the ring in Qi Xiaomian's hand, jealousy practically spilling over.
This guy had been making all sorts of little moves on the way back—bumping into Qi Xiaomian, rubbing against him, blocking his path, and letting out cold snorts. Despite being scolded several times, he remained unrepentant.
Qi Xiaomian waved the ring in front of him, showing off. "Want it? Too bad; Huo, Senior has chosen me."
In the past, without you around, it was all mine!
Silly Beast felt a pang of sadness; it was so disheartened. There used to be a Demon Servant named Mei'er—how could everything suddenly belong to you? She had been by Senior's side longer than you.
It was different; she was female while I am male. I can't compete with her.
So because I'm male, you think you can compete with me?
Feeling wronged, Silly Beast lamented that everything used to be theirs. People waved at you twice but pushed me away instead; when you're around, he doesn't like me.
Silly Beast whimpered while Qi Xiaomian didn’t know how to comfort it.
When the ring first slipped onto his finger, there was no particular feeling. But once Senior's essence seeped into it, he could sense that the ring seemed to have emotions of its own.
It would feel hot one moment and cold the next. Although he wasn't quite sure what it was trying to express yet, he believed that with time he would understand.
And thus, Qi Xiaomian realized why Huo, Senior had given him the ring.
If given to the Silly Beast, it would probably just consider it a toy.
At that moment, Sang Qingxiao spoke up to diffuse the situation. "Silly Beast, Qi Xiaomian may be a boy, but he is younger than you. He is only in his twenties, while you have lived for over a hundred years alongside your family.
Huo, Senior, not only raised you but also taught you a lot; he can be considered like a father figure to you, right?
Qi Xiaomian has also received teachings from his seniors. In this sense, you both can be regarded as fellow disciples. Moreover, you share the same Magic Breath, which makes your bond even closer than that of typical brothers.
Whether considering age or the length of learning, you are the elder brother and he is the younger brother. Respecting the elderly and caring for the young should have been taught to you.
Respecting his choices is honoring the elders, and not coveting the ring that Senior gave to Qi Xiaomian is showing love for the young.
Congratulations, Silly Beast! You now have a younger brother disciple; you need to learn to get along with him. Do you understand?
Younger brother disciple?
The Silly Beast's eyes widened, and any jealousy had vanished from its gaze.
Elder brother?!
