Rebirth: A Cinderella's Counterattack

Chapter 1190: Chapter 1170: Fly as You Wish, Your Brother Will Handle the Rest

Watching the few people being taken away and the others who went back to work, Qhianqhian smiled slightly at Tang Tianyi: ”I’ll help Uncle go back, you go ahead and cultivate first.”

”Okay.” Tang Tianyi nodded lightly and turned to leave.

Seeing that only Qhianqhian was left in the open space, Luo Xisi raised her eyebrows as if she had already guessed what Qhianqhian was about to say.

”Uncle, can you add a praising session after the morning practice every day?” Qhianqhian raised her little face, looking all flattering.

Luo Xisi thought to herself: As expected...

”Praise? Do you think your skills are great?” Luo Xisi, however, kept a straight face, showing no sign of agreeing.

Seeing Uncle act this way, Qhianqhian tugged at his arm, shaking it gently: ”Uncle, you can’t hold us kids to such high standards. I know you have high expectations for our good, but shouldn’t we progress step by step? There needs to be a process to adapt.”

Seeing Qhianqhian argue so convincingly, Luo Xisi showed a hint of amusement on his face: ”Then what do you want me to require of you?”

A peculiar expression flashed across Qhianqhian’s face, followed by a smile: ”Uncle, if you have any dissatisfaction with me, just say it. I am committed to high standards and strict demands for myself, striving to do my best!”

Looking at Qhianqhian, Luo Xisi smiled gently: ”Alright, let’s go. I need to check on your grandpa.”

”Huh? Uncle likes fishing too? Uncle can actually sit still?” Qhianqhian, seeing the amusement on Luo Xisi’s face, knew that Uncle had agreed to her request, and she started to tease him with a grin.

Luo Xisi’s face froze, recalling the time he was chased away by his father for not being able to sit still and walking around twice.

He rolled his eyes at Qhianqhian in slight annoyance: ”I’ll go find your aunt, alright?”

Qhianqhian stuck out her tongue and led Uncle to Aunt, then turned to leave.

Walking up the mountain, she saw her uncle sitting to the side helping Aunt with a smile on his face, and she let out a long sigh.

The smile on her face had faded away; although everything appeared harmonious now, issues on the other side remained unresolved. Now, it was just her dad left there; she didn’t know how he was doing...

Suddenly, she saw a bag flying toward her head, her eyes widened, and she quickly crouched down and moved a few steps to the side.

Just dodging it, Qhianqhian stood up with a face of mixed amusement and confusion: ”Tang Guo, what are you doing?”

Tang Guo struggled to hold the bag, pushing it toward Qhianqhian: ”For you, for you.”

”What is it?”

”Grandpa gave it.” Tang Guo said with an indignant look on his face: ”He promised it was just delivering a message, now I have to transport goods too. Should I ask for double pay?”

Qhianqhian took the bag with a bit of surprise: ”Do you get paid?”

Tang Guo paused mid-air and then began to perform the high difficulty move of rolling in mid-air: ”Qhianqhian, I want a paycheck, I want a paycheck!”

”Why do you need a paycheck?” Qhianqhian rolled her eyes, opened the bag, and saw it was full of snacks, which warmed her heart slightly. She gently patted Tang Guo’s head: ”Thanks for the hard work.”

”I also want to buy tasty food, and maybe find you a daughter-in-law someday...” Tang Guo said earnestly, stretching out his small hand: ”Give me a paycheck.”

Qhianqhian rummaged through her pockets and pulled out a coin: ”Here you go, don’t call me stingy.”

Tang Guo looked at the coin, glancing at Qhianqhian like she was an idiot: ”Do you think I’m a fool? I want Spirit Stones.”

”I don’t even have enough for myself right now, so I owe you. You can exchange it for this in the future.” Qhianqhian said with a face full of exasperation.

Only then did Tang Guo put away the coin: ”I’m keeping track, don’t try to back out.”

”Here’s another bag of dried mango for you, thanks for your hard work.” Qhianqhian pulled out a pack of snacks and calmly put away the bag: ”I’m off to cultivate, find me if you need anything.”

Tang Guo nodded with the dried mango in his arms, silently heading off in another direction.

Qhianqhian returned to her courtyard, which was a special case for a few of them, each having their own courtyard, with their own room, guest room, and even a small kitchen and Practice Room, unlike the usual courtyards with only two rooms or the shared dormitories.

On the stone table in the center of the yard were steaming hot dishes, covered with a mesh to keep them warm.

Qhianqhian’s eyes lit up, just about to walk over when she saw Luo Shufan sitting in a corner of the yard doing something she couldn’t quite see.

”Brother?” Qhianqhian looked at Luo Shufan in the corner with surprise and joy: ”How come you’re not busy today?”

Luo Shufan came back to his senses, seeing Qhianqhian’s face, and laughed: ”Didn’t we just see each other? Why do you look like it’s been days? I missed you and wanted to see you, can’t I?”

He gently picked up something from the ground, holding it cradled in his hand with a smiling face: ”I found this last night, it was almost ripe when I was returning, so I brought it over.” He said as he naturally sat on the stone chair, placing the objects in his hand on the table.

Seeing the chestnuts in Luo Shufan’s hand, Qhianqhian couldn’t help but smirk: ”Brother, are you treating me like An Hao? Eating little snacks?” She sat beside Luo Shufan, unreservedly picked up a hot chestnut, peeled it, and popped it into her mouth.

”So sweet.” Qhianqhian raised her little face, looking full of delight.

”As long as you like it.” Luo Shufan showed a smile, calmly looking at Qhianqhian: ”Let’s eat first.”

Qhianqhian’s heart moved slightly, is Brother about to say something?

But she still nodded, finishing all the dishes cleanly before looking at Luo Shufan.

”If it weren’t for the incident, Qhianqhian, you might still be in serious cultivation now, right?”

Even if Luo Shufan didn’t know what had happened before, seeing that both big brother, third brother, and even Uncle were injured, and both the Luo Family and An Family had all entered the Cultivation World, he could easily understand that Qhianqhian had rushed back because of the incident.

Qhianqhian’s heart moved once more, she immediately realized Brother wasn’t just here to bring food but to talk about serious matters.

Since they were siblings, Luo Shufan directly got to the point without pleasantries: ”Qhianqhian, your main focus now should be on cultivation. There’s me and the older cousins to worry about things here, you don’t have to. If you can’t focus on cultivation here, it won’t be beneficial for the growth of the Nine Heavens Pavilion.”

Qhianqhian’s eyes flickered, she understood this as well, but having just reunited, she was reluctant to leave again.

Besides, once she left, if anything happened to Dad, she wouldn’t be able to help, and that was something she couldn’t bear.

Luo Shufan stated directly: ”You, Tianyi, and Little Uncle represent the current potential height of the Nine Heavens Pavilion, and Brother doesn’t want these concerns to hinder your development. I’ll take care of everything, so go fly as high as you need; Brother will help you hold up this sky.” With determination in his eyes, Luo Shufan looked at Qhianqhian, full of encouragement: ”As long as you’re safe, Brother will always be your support.”
