Volume 1: Peaceful Childhood Chapter 13: Preparing to Buy a House (Second Update)

  Yun Qingran woke up from his cultivation, Feng Qu had just broken through to the first heavy later period, but Ning Shen Qu was still in the third layer initial stage, breaking through the initial stage was still early.

  She thought to herself, she had too many secrets and it wasn't time to reveal them yet. Should she get a separate place? But if she did, they would have to move, and although their current home was much bigger than those in the village, it still wasn't enough for her.

  After the breakthrough, she was able to contract another puppet. She came to the Treasure Pavilion, took out a puppet contract, positioned it as a guard, and named it Tie Mu. Suddenly, her line of sight was drawn to one of the cells in the Treasure Pavilion. It was various exquisite porcelain.

  She thought of how she could have her own small courtyard.

  The next morning, Yun Xi woke up and saw that Yun Qing Ran was already awake.

  "Mom, good morning!" Yun Qingran smiled and shouted.

  "Good morning, baby!" Yun Xi also smiled and replied to Yun Qing Ran.

  "Mom, there's a plate under your pillow." Yun Qingran called out to Yun Xi, who was getting ready to go out, pointing at the pillow.

  "Huh?" Yun Xi looked at Yun Qing Ran in confusion, then lifted up the pillow. Indeed, under the pillow was a plate with lotus flower patterns on it. "Baby, how did you know?"

  "Because it was left by Master?" Yun Qingran blinked her eyes and said in a pure tone.

  "Who is Master?" When did the baby have a master? She has been at home and hasn't contacted outsiders. Yun Xi couldn't figure it out no matter how hard she thought.

  "Master is just master!" Yun Qingran said matter-of-factly, recently she had been pretending to be innocent and had become quite good at it.

  Since there was nothing else to ask, Yun Xi could only pick up the plate and leave with Yun Qing Ran.

  In the dining hall, Old Man Yun held the plate and studied it. "You say, is this what Baby said was left by Master?"

  "Yes, I was just wondering who the baby's master is." Yun Xi replied. Yunque was now in her grandmother's arms, holding her special small spoon and eating breakfast by herself.

  "Wait, I'll just ask the baby later, let's have breakfast first." Seeing Yun Qing hurry to eat, Old Man Yun suppressed his doubts in his heart. He knew it wouldn't be that simple. Others might not know, but he did - his own granddaughter was a clever and cunning girl.

  Because of this matter, the whole breakfast process was silent, and everyone ate quickly. Before everyone finished eating together, Old Man Yun had already taken Yun Qingran to the study.

  "Baby, did your master say anything to you?" Old Man Yun thought that Cloud Light's master should have let her pass on some message to them.

  "Really!" Yun Qingran nodded with a smile, delighted by Old Master Yun's cooperation. Although she had already guessed that he would ask this question. "Master said I have an excellent innate talent, suitable for learning martial arts from him and wants to take me as his closed-door disciple. However, he dislikes meeting outsiders, so he asked me to give you that plate, sell it and use the money to buy a bigger house, and allocate a separate small courtyard for me, which will make it convenient for him to teach me."

  "What does your master look like?" Cloud Old Master still had some doubts, afraid that Cloud Light was being deceived. But if someone wanted to deceive him, would they use such a large cost? The value of this plate is higher than the total value of all the Cloud family's possessions.

  Yun thought of an old man with a fairy-like appearance: "The master has long, white hair and a long, white beard. He wears a long, long robe."

  Yun Lao Yezi thought for a moment, probably some hermit had taken a liking to Yun Qingran and wanted to take her as an apprentice. Because he himself was also the inheritor of the Yun family's medical skills and the Southern School's carving techniques, which also belonged to the category of hermits. And Yun Qingran's master should be a hermit in martial arts.

  Since that's the case, Master Yun doesn't need to worry about anything for now. Worrying is useless anyway. If they can secretly put such a big plate under Cloud Xi's pillow without anyone noticing, then taking away Cloud Qingran would be easy as well. The reason they did this must be to make the family members feel at ease. Moreover, Cloud Qingran is a girl who practices martial arts, so she'll be able to protect herself in the future, and he won't object to anything either.

  In the morning, Yun Qingran finished class and sent her back. Then, he called Chen Chen to come over and asked him to go a bit further away from here to see if there were any suitable larger houses for sale with an independent small courtyard, good environment, and quiet surroundings.

  Over the weekend, Yun Xiangyan's family and Yun Xiangfei returned. Old Master Yun took Yun Xiangyan to the study, handed him a plate, and told him to sell it. The antique craze is in full swing, with people buying and selling antiques everywhere, and prices are skyrocketing. This plate in his hand was identified as authentic Ding porcelain, thin and light, hard and white in color, and remarkably well-preserved without any flaws despite its age.

  "Dad, what's this?" Yun Xiang looked at the plate in his hand with a shocked expression. With his family background and knowledge, even if he couldn't accurately determine the origin of this antique ceramic plate, he knew it was extremely valuable.

  "This was sent by Baby's master, let's go buy a big house. You know that's all, don't tell them for now, wait until things are settled." Old Man Yun explained roughly, without saying too much.

  "Oh, I see." Old Master Yun didn't say much, and Yun Xiang didn't ask either. He simply wrapped the silk fabric given by Old Master Yun in a decent manner and put it into a paper box.

  When the two came out, they saw Yun Xiangfei and Yun Chenyi, one holding Yun Qingran high up and saying something, while the other was jumping and shouting below.

  "Xiao Ran, call Xiao Shu Shu." Knowing that Yun Qingran could speak, Yun Xiangfei held Yun Qingran and coaxed her to call out a few more times, but unfortunately she only called out once when she first saw him and didn't call out again.

  "Don't call him, sister, call brother." Yun Chenyi also shouted from below, wanting to hear his sister's soft and sweet voice.

  Yun Qing smiled lightly, her gaze sweeping back and forth between the two of them. Was this what they meant by "opposites repel", otherwise these two would always be mutually at odds with each other.

  "Grandfather, great uncle." Seeing the two old men come out, Yun Qingran immediately stretched out her hand towards Grandfather Yun. If she could still walk in front of everyone, she would have flown away from the two long ago. The two of them were always quarreling over her, and even the cold and icy mountain had become a poisonous-tongued man, poisoning her ears every day. Fortunately, they didn't spend much time together, otherwise, she would have been driven mad by now.

  "Little darling, miss your grandpa." His own granddaughter took the initiative to hug him, and Old Master Yun naturally accepted with a smile.

  "Ah, Grandpa hasn't told me a story yet today." Yun Qingran treated the history of the sect that Yun Lao Ye had told her as a story.

  Yun Qingran said so, and Old Master Yun didn't correct her either, as long as she could remember, it was all right. Like this, Old Master Yun took Yun Qingran into the study room, "slam" shut the door. Leaving three people standing foolishly outside.
