Shi Tian, although not particularly powerful, can definitely be considered an ancient relic. He has lived for so long that even he himself has lost count of the exact number of years. If one were to put it in perspective, his thousands of years of life might only equate to a year for an ordinary person. Even though Shi Tian has already passed his prime, he can only be compared to a regular person in their fifties or sixties.
Therefore, living for at least millions of years by calculation, Bexia is nothing more than a brat in its eyes.
Though somewhat surprised, Shi Tian didn't inquire further. After all, when you've lived for so long, your perspectives change, and you've seen greater things. What is there to be surprised about?
"What brings the senior here to find us?" Bexia turned to look back. Luo Cailing and Luo Ningxian had already run off to find Beibei and were introducing the newcomer Little Umbrella to each other.
"Lady is very grateful to you, so she asked me to bring the young ladies to find you. She wants you to visit her place and express her thanks in person!" Shi Tian smiled, although it was more like a tiger's grin than a genuine smile.
"Will we be causing you any trouble?"
"How could that be?"
"Very well then!" Bexia nodded.
"Since that's settled, let's depart now!" Shi Tian's body shook, and he grew a hundred times in size. He crouched down and said, "Come up! I'll carry you there!"
"Ailing, Xian! It's time to go back!" Shi Tian called out to the two young girls, and finally, Luo Cailing and Luo Ningxian reluctantly climbed onto Shi Tian's back.
With a step, Shi Tian leaped into the air. Although it seemed like a complicated motion, on his back, it felt as smooth as if they were on flat ground, without any sense of vibration. At the same time, Bexia asked him some questions out of curiosity.
"Could Senior Shi Tian tell me about Ailing and the others' identities?" Bexia inquired.
"Don't you know? Ailing didn't tell you?"
"No! But I have some guesses. If I'm correct, they should be responsible for the daughters of this institution, right?"
"Hehe! Ailing and Xian are the little princesses here, daughters of our Dean Luo Chen!" Shi Tian replied.
"I see…" Bexia nodded in agreement with her speculation.
"All right! We're here!" Shi Tian descended gracefully onto the ground, not where Bexia had imagined. It was a vast courtyard filled with lush vegetation and resting animals. Even upon seeing Shi Tian's arrival, these creatures showed no signs of fear.
"Lady has a gentle temperament and enjoys the mountains and forests, so the courtyard looks like this!" Shi Tian explained to everyone. "I hope you're not disappointed."
"Where is everyone?" Bexia scanned the surroundings but could not spot anyone.
"There are no other people here. The lady takes care of everything herself on a regular basis!" Shi Tian explained.
"Follow me!"
Leading the way, Shi Tian soon stopped in his tracks, and Bexia also saw the purported lady, the Dean's wife who gave birth to Luo Cailing and Luo Ningxian.
In a flower bed filled with blossoms, a mature woman with a doll-like face was lying on her side, seemingly... asleep!
"Excuse me for the amusement, but madam always does some inexplicable things like this!" Shi Tian smiled awkwardly, feeling like he had lost all face. It was really helpless to be stuck with such a family, none of them having a normal personality.
"Haha...! Auntie seems tired, shall we come back another day for a visit?" Bexia suggested.
"Mm~!" Mo Qingqin, lying in the flower bed, slowly propped up her body, looking like a confused child who had just woken up.
"Shi Tian, you're back! Ugh... I seem to have accidentally fallen asleep again!" Mo Qingqin said somewhat distressed, then stood up swaying, like she was drunk, making Bexia feel like she was about to fall any second.
"Mom! Wake up!" Luo Ningxian ran over, rubbing Mo Qingqin's face with her small hands, helping her become more awake this time.
"Master! There's something wrong, I can't sense her presence at all!" Lucifer whispered.
"What's wrong? Is she more powerful than you?" Bexia asked.
"No! Her strength is not strong at all, but she seems to blend in with the surroundings, I can't lock onto her with my senses at all!"
"It could be some special physique!" Lucifer suggested.
"Cough! Let's go have some tea first! Madam cultivates the Law of Illusions, so she often has some problems, it will be fine in a moment!" Shi Tian explained awkwardly, leading Bexia and others to continue walking forward, leaving Anling and Xian to accompany Mo Qingqin.
In the middle of the courtyard, there was a pavilion, Shi Tian invited Bexia and others to rest here, and asked some fairies in the courtyard to serve them, while he hurriedly went to find Mo Qingqin and her daughters. He really couldn't face staying with Bexia anymore, knowing that guests were coming and still causing such a scene, it was really embarrassing.
Though it wasn't human, it still needed to keep up its dignity!
