Chapter 65 - Immortal Fate Of Longevity: Starting From Taking Care of Fellow Daoist Wife
Chapter 65: Teaching the Daughter Zhang Miaoyi naturally had no objections to Xia Changge's approach. After all, Xia Moxing was also her son. However, her daughter was angry, so Zhang Miaoyi had to go and appease her. The cause of this might be... Xia Changge as the head of the family? In any case, what she understood was that Xia Changge's "differential treatment" had made Xia Yijiao unhappy. Therefore, Zhang Miaoyi discussed this matter with Xia Changge and asked him to handle it. "This little girl, does she really get jealous of her own younger brother?" Xia Changge sighed helplessly. It seemed that siblings were naturally incompatible with each other. In any case, his son had suffered quite a bit from his own sister's bullying. It was like this when they were young. And as they grew up... Xia Yijiao's talent destined her younger siblings to be suppressed by her for their entire lives. Tan Qier's son, Xia Yunqi, was a bit better off, maybe because he wasn't born to the same mother, making it difficult for him to be targeted. "I'll go and take a look later. She's already a grown girl but still acts so spoiled." Xia Changge smiled wryly. To be honest, Xia Changge was not much in the eyes of the entire cultivation world. But in Huaqing Immortal Town, he was considered a prominent figure. Because of this, it was possible for the child to develop a somewhat arrogant and self-important personality. But this was not a good thing, and Xia Changge had to stop it in time to prevent any disasters. After resolving matters outside, Xia Changge knocked on his daughter's door and entered her room. At this moment, it seemed that Xia Yijiao had a bit of pent-up anger. "Are you serious? You always bully your younger brother so much, and now you can't stand to see him shine?" Xia Changge found it amusing to see his little girl sulking. After all, before this, she had always been the family's treasured jewel. Even Tan Qier, as her stepmother, did not dare to speak loudly against her. Everything revolved around her, which could be considered quite good. After all, Tan Qier had to curry favor with her, whether for herself or for her son. Xia Changge had even more reason to maintain a good relationship with Xia Yijiao. If he were a bit more harsh, it might make his sister-in-law worry if he didn't care for Xia Yijiao because she wasn't his biological daughter. And... Xia Changge may rely on this "advantageous daughter" in the future. This seemed to spoil Xia Yijiao a bit. "How could that be? I can't bear to see my younger brother doing well? I'm clearly... more outstanding than him! But it seems like Dad didn't notice at all. He only praises my younger brother." Xia Yijiao expressed her grievances like a little child, actually feeling jealous. Xia Changge walked over to her, tousled her hair, and messed it up a bit. "You, little girl, can't wait for everyone to know how outstanding you are. The more outstanding you are, Dad will definitely be happy, and your loved ones will be happy too. But do you think outsiders will be happy?" Xia Changge patiently explained the cruel nature of the cultivation world to Xia Yijiao. "I don't believe it! Hmph! Dad, even you treat my younger brother better. When my younger brother cultivates with the spiritual powder, you watch him and personally guide him. But what about me? You only let your disciple watch over me, and she's even weaker than me! Who exactly is teaching whom?" At this moment, Xia Yijiao voiced her grievances that had been buried in her heart for months. It could be considered jealousy. "You've grown up, Yijiao. You're already a young girl now, and there are things that Dad can't possibly do like when you were five or six years old. Do you think... it's appropriate for you to be naked in front of me like this?" Xia Changge inwardly criticized his sister-in-law for not educating her properly. Most of the time, Xia Yijiao stayed at home and had little interaction with the outside world. Some things could only be taught by Zhang Miaoyi. "What's wrong with that? Wasn't it always like this before?" Xia Yijiao didn't have these troubles when she was little. When she took a bath, it was Zhang Miaoyi and Xia Changge who helped her. "From now on, not only at home, but when you go out to experience the world, you have to maintain a good distance from the opposite sex and be vigilant. Don't let them take advantage of you." Xia Changge sat next to Xia Yijiao and began to enlighten his daughter on certain things in the cultivation world. Maybe it was because Xia Yijiao was already a cultivator, and Zhang Miaoyi was just an ordinary person. This meant that Zhang Miaoyi didn't really know what to say when faced with her daughter. As for his son... there wasn't much to say... "Are people really that bad outside?" Xia Yijiao couldn't believe it. She still couldn't fully believe it. Xia Changge told Xia Yijiao about the recent events he had encountered. Xia Yijiao couldn't care less and said, "Huh! Dad, aren't you there? I don't care about those things." Xia Changge seriously said, "In a couple of years, I plan to send you to the sect. By then, you will have to take care of yourself." Xia Yijiao shook her head repeatedly, "I won't go." Xia Changge didn't force her but explained, "I don't want my daughter to go to those places either, but there's no choice. Only the sect can provide something to improve your mother's spiritual roots. Do you want your mother to leave you behind in just a few decades?" Xia Yijiao said softly, "Mother is your wife. Shouldn't you be the one worrying about this?" Xia Changge smiled bitterly, "I don't have the ability. Yijiao, you have Heavenly Spiritual Roots, and you belong to that small group of people with the greatest talents. After going to the sect, you will be treated as a genius. Only you can change your mother's fate." Xia Yijiao understood to some extent, but there were still parts that she couldn't comprehend. "In the future... you will follow me and learn from me. I will teach you some knowledge of the cultivation world." Xia Changge had to impart certain advice to his daughter about the things to pay attention to in the cultivation world, so that his daughter wouldn't be easily deceived by simple schemes. By telling Xia Yijiao these things today, it could be considered as preparing her mentally in advance. "Okay!" Xia Yijiao nodded in agreement. Her pent-up anger was resolved so simply. ... Although the celebration at Xia Changge's home was kept secret, the news still spread. The fact that certain people were intentionally not invited naturally made some people even more upset. When the time was right, Jiang Wei, a fifth-level Qi Refining Stage cultivator, took the initiative to find Xia Changge and report the situation. "Triple Spiritual Roots? Are you sure?" This could be considered Cui Yan and his secretive plan. Xia Changge wondered whether these people had really found someone with triple spiritual roots or if it was just a pretext. If it really was triple spiritual roots, then it could be considered a double blessing. "Yes, I intended to bring the person over. However, the villagers there were resistant and refused to release him. I came to ask for your opinion, Lord, whether...?" Jiang Wei made a throat-slashing gesture towards Xia Changge. Xia Changge angrily berated him, "Absurd!" How could he do something like that? "I'll go see for myself. You lead the way." Xia Changge decided to see the situation personally. (End of this chapter)
