Patriarch Wu looked at the communication talisman within his grasp with an annoyed expression.
"About? Do I look like a babysitter ?! This is the last time! Next time you come here by yourself to pick him up!" he shouted at the talisman before heading to the same place as usual.
Inside Wu Jinjing's residence, the two girls continued to talk about girls' things.
"It's still a bit early but what should I name this kid? Is it a girl or a boy? What do you think, Sister Mengyi?" Wu Jinjing wondered aloud and asked her for advice.
Zhu Mengyi looked at him with an expression of disbelief, and she said in a low voice, "Why are you asking me? First of all, how are you so sure that you are going to get pregnant? Didn't you do it just once "I'm inexperienced in this field, but I've heard that it's much harder for cultivators to get pregnant than ordinary people, especially those with a higher cultivation base."
"It will be fine," Wu Jinjing spoke in a confident voice. "Everything will work, I'm sure of it."
"He's really crazy .." Zhu Mengyi already harbored hatred towards this man who had turned his best friend into such, wondering if he had brainwashed her or something.
"Sister Mengyi, do you have any thoughts of finding a partner any time soon?" Wu Jinjing's question caught him off guard.
"Of course not! I have already devoted my life to the Alchemy Dao! There's no one out there who might be able to make my resolve waver!"
"That's what I thought at first, but that was before I met him." Wu Jinjing smiled, though,
"One day, just like me, you will meet someone who will change your whole view of this world, and you will lose your reason for its charm!" he said again
"Don't count on that!" zhu mengyi said with disdain.
"Maybe not in the near future, but one day, definitely .." said wu junjing convinced.
"Enough about me! I came here to talk about you! Does your father know all this?" Zhu Mengyi tried to change the topic and asked.
The smile on Wu Jinjing's face turned bitter. "I haven't told him."
Zhu Mengyi looked at him with a puzzled expression. "You haven't told him yet ?! I don't think you should keep it a secret."
He shook his head and said, "I'm not really trying to keep this a secret. I just haven't had time to talk to him. Have you heard of the Ghost Girl?"
"The invincible entity that is currently igniting fear into everyone's heart?" zhu mengyi
"Un. Although he did not show it, his complexion had already pale since that encounter. He was obviously worried despite telling us not to worry about it."
"Are you not worried? This Ghost Girl seems to have unfounded strength that no one can face. What if it attacks one of our places?" Zhu Mengyi asked him.
"… I wouldn't say that I'm not worried, but there's really no point in worrying about something like this when even my father doesn't know anything" said Wu Jinjing.
"i thought you were ben-"
Suddenly, a loud voice emerged from the blue and echoed within Wu Jinjing's room.
"I know you're there, the Academy's Main Disciple four musi.." Patriarch Wu's voice echoed in the room.
Wu Jinjing looked at him with a bitter smile and said, "This might be the fastest, yes."
"Why can't my mom leave me alone? I've become the Prime Disciple, by God!"
As soon as Patriarch Wu entered the room, he looked at Zhu Mengyi and said, "I told you to stop coming is the same as telling babies to stop peeing on themselves, but at least let your mother know before you leave. He sounded pretty angry this time."
"I'll see you next time, sister Mengyi."
"Un! I'll be back as soon as possible! We're not done talking about 'it'! There are still a lot of questions on my mind!"
Zhu Mengyi quickly greeted Patriarch Wu, as when at someone else's home, before returning to the Academy four seasons.
As soon as Zhu Mengyi left, Patriarch Wu continued, "You didn't fully escape this. He listens to you the most, so you have to stop giving him trouble."
"Anyway, I have to go back and—"
"Dad, wait." Wu Jinjing stopped him from leaving. "There's something I want to tell you."
"What's wrong? Hurry up and say it." said the patriarch
"It's very important…"
Patriarch Wu looked at his serious expression and sighed. He then grabbed a chair and sat in front of her. "Please, I'll listen."
Wu Jinjing took a deep breath before opening his mouth to speak.

After Zhu Mengyi returned to the four-season Academy, she directly went to Matriak's residence to find Matriak Zhu.
"Mother! I'm no longer a child! Why don't you leave me alone? You said that you would no longer bother me if I became the main disciple! I'm having an important discussion with Sister Jinjing!" he complained to her when he saw her.
Matriak Zhu looked at his unhappy daughter and spoke in a calm voice, "I did say such words, and that is why I ignored your last few visits to the place. But today is different. I have important things to talk to you about. "
Seeing the serious expression on his face, Zhu Mengyi no longer felt displeased and said, "Is this about the Ghost Girl who has terrorized the world?"
"No, it's a lot more important than that."
"…" Zhu Mengyi was surprised to hear such words. Something more important than Ghost Girl? What could possibly be more important than an entity that could potentially destroy the world?
"There's someone I want you to meet. A young man to be exact."
"…"
"…"
"Say that again? What did you just say?" Zhu Mengyi looked at him with wide eyes filled with disbelief.
