Chapter 242: Once a Teacher, Always a Father

Ye Qingcheng rubbed his little head, "During my absence, did you study and practice martial arts seriously?"

Rui'er's face changed slightly, and she instantly realized that she was a little out of character, and the master was still here, and he was too unruly just now.

Rui'er quickly took a step back and stood up, lowered her eyes slightly, and nodded respectfully: "Rui'er doesn't dare to be lazy."

Yunting's eyes were locked tightly on the pink and white child in front of him. Seeing that he was obedient and obedient, but his brows and eyes were still lively, he felt happy and sad at the same time.

"Rui'er." He spoke softly, his voice extremely gentle, "Do you recognize me?"

Rui'er raised her eyes after hearing the sound and saw the man standing next to the princess sister. A trace of confusion flashed across his big, dark and clear eyes like jewels, and then his eyebrows furrowed slightly, as if he was searching for the impression of this person in his memory.

Then soon, he looked at Yunting in disbelief, his pupils slightly opened: "Uncle..."

Yunting's eyes were hot, and he couldn't restrain himself anymore and stepped forward, holding him tightly in his arms: "Rui'er."

The man holding a ruler in his hand turned around and walked over. His face was handsome and calm, and his brows were calm and calm. He looked to be two or three years older than Ji Jinzhi. He was already thirty years old this year. He was Ji Tingxiao, Ji Jinzhi's elder brother.

Glancing at Ye Qingcheng and Yunting calmly, he said calmly: "Your Highness, Princess, just came back today?"

"Yes." Ye Qingcheng nodded, "Thank you for your hard work during this time."

"Responsibilities are not to mention hard work." Ji Tingxiao said, "But since Yunting has returned, it is best for the princess and him to discuss whether Rui'er will continue to be taught by me when studying and practicing martial arts, or whether he will choose another master."

"Why do we need to discuss it again?" Ye Qingcheng smiled lightly, "Are you unwilling to cause Ruier this trouble again?"

Ji Tingxiao's expression did not change, and his tone was always indifferent: "Rui'er is Chen's student. Once a teacher, he will always be a father. As long as he is willing to admit it, I will always be his master. There will be no trouble."

Ye Qingcheng said: "I think so too."

"However, I have very strict requirements for teaching, and even more so for martial arts. I never hesitate to use corporal punishment to discipline him. The process of teaching and practicing martial arts is inevitably accompanied by pain." He said, his eyes naturally falling on Yun On the pavilion, "The next few years will be long, and the process may not be easy. You can think about it again."

Yunting slowly let go of the child in his arms, calmed down the turbulent emotions in his heart, turned to Ji Tingxiao, with real gratitude in his eyes, and knelt down as soon as he bent his knees: "Brother Ji, thank you——"

A strong arm supported his body in time, and Ji Tingxiao said in a steady tone, "There's no need to do this."

Yunting suppressed his emotions, stood up straight slowly, and said: "Thank you."

"Just come back." Ji Tingxiao said calmly, "Rui'er will stay with me for now. You can do whatever you want. If you need help, just ask. I am in charge of the Ji family now."

Yunting was silent for a moment: "Will Rui'er being here bring you trouble?"

"No." Ji Jinzhi said quickly, "Yunting, don't worry, Rui'er has been staying at my house for two years, and my eldest brother has been teaching. Apart from me and eldest brother, no third person has ever come into this study. Pass……"

Ye Qingcheng raised his eyebrows: "I'm not a human?"

Ji Jinzhi paused and changed his words calmly: "Except for a few of us, no one else has been here."

Yunting couldn't help but say thank you again. He didn't know where to start with a thousand words. Probably only these two words could express his gratitude at this time.

"Okay, don't think so much." Ye Qingcheng said calmly, "Tingxiao is not a person who is afraid of trouble. I know that, so I dare to hand Rui'er over to him. But you also heard what Tingxiao said just now, how about Decide to think about it yourself.”

Yunting lowered his head and looked at Rui'er: "Rui'er, are you afraid of hardship?"

"Don't be afraid." Rui'er shook his head. The little child could already understand the conversation of adults, "A man can only become a master by enduring hardships. Master is doing it for my own good. Rui'er likes Master and wants to be Master's student. "

Yunting touched his head: "Be good."

Rui'er was a little cautious and said, "Second uncle."

"Is something really wrong with the prince?" Ji Jinzhi turned to look at Ye Qingcheng, "Is it impossible to come back?"

Ye Qingcheng said calmly: "Why come back? To be the emperor?"

Ji Jinzhi was silent and immediately understood what she meant.

Ye Yan can no longer come back, and the court of Shu is about to face some turmoil. The emperor is ill and his spirit is getting worse and worse than before. The princes will definitely take this opportunity to speed up their fight for power. In this kind of situation, At that time, no one would still hold the cautious attitude of Xu Tuzhi, because time no longer allowed, they would desperately disrupt the situation of the DPRK, win over all the ministers of the DPRK and China who could be attracted, and use all means to attack their opponents and kill them.

And since Yunting came back with Ye Qingcheng at this time, it means that he is ready for revenge.

Ji Jinzhi pondered for a moment and said calmly: "The commander of the imperial guards in the palace is King Mu's confidant. The princess can start with him."

Ye Qingcheng thought of the fact that King Mu had just sent someone to invite her to pick up the Feng Xichen Banquet, and the corners of his lips smacked softly: "I know." Among the Shu royal family, except for the prince Ye Yan, King Mu had the greatest chance of successfully competing for the heir apparent, but Ye Qingcheng would not let that happen. He succeeds.

After the words fell, the study fell into a brief silence.

"Rui'er." Ye Qingcheng reached out and touched Rui'er's head, "You study hard and practice martial arts. Your second uncle and I will come to see you tomorrow."

Ruier nodded obediently.

Yun Ting looked at Rui Er reluctantly, then turned around and left the secret passage with Ye Qingcheng.

Ji Jinzhi entered the secret passage with them, and after closing the door, he said lightly: "Rui Er is young, and his hatred for his parents' death is not as strong as his elder brother. In addition, his elder brother has been strict with him in the past two years, and he has devoted all his attention to studying and practicing martial arts. Rui Er is stronger and more mature than children of the same age. At a young age, he has some of the style of elder brother Yun, and he will become a great man in the future."

Determined to become a great man?

Yun Ting was silent. He didn't have much expectation for Rui Er, but just hoped that he could grow up safely. Becoming a great man does not necessarily mean luck. Defending the country and serving the king loyally, but in the end, his family was broken up because of the king's suspicion, such a great man is better off not having it.

"Have you been doing well these past two years?" Ji Jinzhi stared at Yun Ting's elegant and handsome profile. "There has been no news, and I thought you..."

"I'm fine." Yun Ting smiled faintly, "It's just that there are some unavoidable reasons, so I couldn't pass on the news to you."

Ji Jinzhi nodded, and didn't ask any more questions: "Be careful, don't fall into the trap."
