Looking into Ouyang Zixin's bright eyes, Rong Yi suddenly felt a joy akin to that of a father witnessing his daughter grow up. Indeed, the phrase "unexpectedly becoming a father" perfectly described his current feelings.
"Girl, if I say I can help you change your inability to cultivate, would you be willing?" Although he had his own protection, even if they weren't staying in this picturesque remote area, traveling through the Yuhai Continent would be completely fine. After all, this was a world that revered martial power; only by becoming strong could one truly be safe.
As expected.
Ouyang Zixin had been bedridden for over half a month and had pondered countless times about Rong Yi's intention to improve her constitution, as well as the Azure Crystal Fruit, which now seemed beneficial for cultivation. If it weren't for her greedy appetite, she wouldn't have fallen into such peril.
She had asked herself many times whether she should cultivate the Mysterious Energy, but she never found an answer. Now, hearing it again from Rong Yi's mouth gave Ouyang Zixin a sense of relief.
"Uncle, you have gone to great lengths to help me; it must be so I can cultivate, right?" Ouyang Zixin's eyes dimmed slightly, lost in thought.
"I do have that intention; however, ultimately, it is still your choice." Rong Yi genuinely hoped that Ouyang Zixin would choose to cultivate since he couldn't protect her forever. Yet he sincerely didn't want to pressure her; the path she would take in the future could only be decided by her.
Ouyang Zixin lowered her head, gently swinging her legs off the edge of the bed as if contemplating her choice. But upon closer observation, one would notice that her gaze was fixed on her toes, and she seemed to have zoned out.
After a long while, Ouyang Zixin finally stopped swinging her legs and slowly lifted her head. She smiled sweetly at Rong Yi and said, "Then tell me the reason!"
In truth, Ouyang Zixin was well aware that her mother held a secret that wasn't yet time to reveal to her. When her parents discovered the strange strength within her, they immediately decided to send her away from the imperial capital; this must be related to the secret surrounding her mother.
Initially, Ouyang Zixin truly believed they were just finding a safe place for her to stay. However, she later realized that the person entrusted with her care was Rong Yi—a top expert in the Yuhai Continent. She guessed that coming here was not merely for refuge.
Ouyang Zixin admitted she had deliberately avoided these questions because she simply wanted a simple life. Being reborn was already a miracle; she didn't want to bear any heavy burdens again. Even if this burden was closely related to her parents in this life, she still wished to escape it, even if only temporarily.
So whether it was the medicinal bath prepared by Rong Yi or the herbal medicine, Ouyang Zixin accepted it all but refused to ask any further questions. Even though Rong Yi mentioned that her mother sent her here to help her condition, Ouyang Zixin did not delve deeper.
Since there was no avoiding it now, at least she needed to understand the whole situation. Moreover, she was confident that Rong Yi must know the secrets surrounding her mother; it was just a matter of how much he was willing to share.
"What reason? Cultivating is cultivating; strengthening the body can also serve as self-protection. What reason could there be?" Despite Ouyang Zixin's bright smile, Rong Yi could sense the undeniable determination behind that seemingly radiant expression.
Feeling a bit guilty, Rong Yi turned her face away, not realizing that as a master, she had actually lost ground in front of a little girl.
Hearing Rong Yi say this, Ouyang Zixin did not refute her and picked up the "Flora Collection" that she had set down earlier, acting as if she hadn't said anything at all.
Rong Yi began to feel a bit uncomfortable; first, she realized she had avoided Ouyang Zixin's gaze, and now she found herself completely ignored.
She wanted to speak but opened her mouth without knowing where to start, so she continued to sit in silence.
For a moment, the atmosphere in the room felt somewhat awkward, especially for Rong Yi. She tried several times to excuse herself for tea, making the teapot and cups clatter, but Ouyang Zixin remained oblivious, focused solely on her reading.
"Forget it, forget it. If you want to know something, just ask," Rong Yi finally couldn't hold back any longer and sighed.
"What?" Ouyang Zixin looked up at Rong Yi with genuine confusion in her eyes, as if she had no idea what she was talking about.
It didn't seem like an act! This girl really forgot that she was still here! Was that "Flora Collection" really that captivating?
For some reason, Rong Yi's emotions were unusually unstable today; they fluctuated greatly. She felt angry that Ouyang Zixin didn't seem to care about her while also recalling the flower tea Ouyang Zixin had prepared for her. The anger came quickly but dissipated even faster.
Master Rong Yi felt deeply hurt. Once a curious child, so adorable, now... now, why did he seem indifferent to everything?
Ouyang Zixin was curious, but only about things she wanted to know, such as the gossip between Rong Yi and her mother back in the day. However, today, when Rong Yi approached her to discuss a topic she wanted to avoid, how could she possibly dig deeper?
Comparing the two attitudes towards this matter made it clear who was superior.
Rong Yi was bound to lose!
"Uncle?" Ouyang Zixin suddenly recalled what Rong Yi meant by "What do you want to know?" She had just taken a moment to react; why did Rong Yi look so distressed?
"Did you put something in this flower tea?" Rong Yi, unsure if he heard Ouyang Zixin calling him, suddenly stood up, causing the chair beneath him to fly backward and shatter into pieces.
This girl must have slipped something into his flower tea; otherwise, why would he be acting so strangely today? In the past, when had Ouyang Zixin ever gained an advantage over him? He had always been in control!
"Pfft... Hahaha..." It was the first time Ouyang Zixin saw Rong Yi make such a fool of himself, and she couldn't help but laugh.
"Uncle, do you have a few days each month when you're more emotional? Hahaha... Did you really think I would drug you?" Ouyang Zixin almost laughed herself silly; how could she be so reckless as to drug a top expert from Yuhai Continent?
"No drugs?" Rong Yi looked suspiciously at the laughing Ouyang Zixin. Then he thought about it—who was he? How could someone like Ouyang Zixin possibly drug him?
"Hmph, I was just teasing you! You looked so lifeless; it's much better when you're lively!" Rong Yi's usually fair complexion had taken on a hint of red. A top expert could also be quite sensitive.
