Under One Person: From Nascent Soul to Great Sacred Body

Upon hearing Zhao's mother say that Jingming shouldn't leave a message, Zhao's father couldn't help but scold her.

"If you can do it, why don't you go study abroad?"

"You've really gone too far, sending Zhu'er to that unfamiliar territory, to a place where foreigners bully us, all at such a young age."

Zhao's mother held Jingming in her arms, but her eyes were glaring fiercely at Zhao's father.

"Hmph, you know we're being bullied by foreigners."

"I sent Dezhu abroad to study so that foreigners would stop bullying us Chinese!"

"Learning from the barbarians' superior techniques to control them is what Duke Wei advocated, and I agree with that!"

"So Er Gou, come with me on a trip through the martial arts world in a few days!"

Father Zhao frowned and said with a face full of resentment.

It seems he was bullied by foreigners when he was young.

Hearing Zhao's father's reaction, Zhao's mother remained silent, simply embracing Jingming and burying her head in Jingming's shoulder, sobbing softly.

"Plan goes through!"

Upon hearing Zhao's father's words, Jingming, who was hiding in Zhao's mother's arms, couldn't help but smile.

However, upon hearing Zhao's father call him "Er Gou," Jingming's lips curled into a smile.

In order to keep Jingming alive, the Zhao couple gave him the derogatory nickname "Er Gou" (meaning "Second Dog").

Just like the dog next door!

To stop Li Gou Dan from calling him Er Gou, he had resorted to violence several times!

"Alright, how long are you going to keep holding the baby? Go to bed now."

After a long while, Zhao's father got up from the bed, carried Zhao's mother to the bed, and then gestured with his eyes for Jingming to get lost.

Jingming could only shrug at this and then happily scurried towards his room.

"What? You're going to go on a business trip with your dad in a couple of days?"

The next morning, Li Muxuan ran to Jingming Courtyard and cried out in surprise.

"Why did you suddenly decide to go into business with your father?"

"Isn't it good to read and learn to read here?"

Today, Li Muxuan is holding a copy of the Three Character Classic.

“I’m not like you. I have two older brothers. Even if I’m a spoiled brat, my brothers will take care of me.”

"I'm an only child, I have to support my family."

Jingming lay on the recliner, watching the clouds drift across the sky, and said softly.

"Did you decide to go out with your father because of what that old man from the opera troupe said yesterday?"

Li Muxuan's eyes darted around, then he asked Jingming.

"That's one of the considerations as well."

“The art of witchcraft has existed since ancient times, and I cannot help but keep it in mind.”

Jingming nodded, neither denying it nor denying it.

There's no need for Li Muxuan, that intelligent dog, to lie.

"You're just a child, what good will it do you to go with them?"

"It would be better to spend some money and hire a few more guards to go with us."

Li Muxuan shook his head and spoke directly.

"Do you think a few guards are capable of resolving matters concerning cultivators?"

Jingming shook his head and spoke.

"Can you solve this?"

Li Muxuan countered with a question.

"Of course it can be solved."

Jingming grinned as he spoke.

"In addition, I will ask my father to prepare a few more foreign guns."

"Having a gun in my hand makes me feel less panicked."

Jingming grinned.

"Is there anything you need to tell me?"

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan nodded and then spoke to Jingming.

"Explain to you?"

Upon hearing Li Muxuan's words, Jingming turned around and saw Li Muxuan's eager eyes.

"Indeed there are."

Jingming nodded and said.

"Then tell me quickly! As long as it's something I can do for you, I'll definitely do it without hesitation!"

Upon hearing this, Li Muxuan patted his chest repeatedly with his small hands.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

"Be gentle, or you'll break your ribs."

Jingming shook his head.

"While I'm gone, you should study hard, practice calligraphy, and exercise."

"When I have free time, I come to visit my mother."

Jingming pondered for a moment before finally speaking.

"No problem, even if you're gone, I'll definitely take care of your mother for you!"

Li Muxuan nodded in assurance.

"That's fine."

Looking into Li Muxuan's bright eyes, Jingming could only force a smile and agree to Li Muxuan's words.

"When are you going to leave?"

Then Li Muxuan asked again.

"In three days."

"Because I'm going with them, I need more time to prepare."

Jingming said softly.

"Oh, there are still three days left?"

Li Muxuan bit his finger, then looked at Jingming.

"Since there are still three days left, we should be able to have a good time for three days, right?"

"no problem."

Jingming narrowed his eyes, then spoke.

"Let's go find that little bald guy, Xia Liuqing."

"After you leave, that bald guy probably won't be here for more than a few days."

"Let's go have some fun first!"

Li Muxuan threw down the Three Character Classic in his hand and shouted with a loud laugh.

"While we're at it, let's see if we can snag anything good from that bald kid!"

As he spoke, Li Muxuan pulled Jingming up from the recliner and headed towards the place where the opera troupe was performing.

Xia Liuqing, who was practicing her martial arts, suddenly felt a chill in her body for no apparent reason.

"Could this be what Master meant by 'the cicada senses the autumn wind before it arrives'?!"

"Then does that mean I've broken through to Master's level?!"

Thinking of this, Xia Liuqing's eyes lit up, and her body trembled involuntarily.

The day when I slap him back is just around the corner!

"What are you shaking for? Stand in a proper horse stance!"
