I asked you to go down the mountain and get married, not to shock the world!

Mingchuan felt relieved when he saw the children smiling again.

He looked at Jinman, his eyes full of gratitude.

If it weren't for her careful care, he wouldn't be able to deal with the plots of Su Hongzhen and Xie He with peace of mind.

Jin Man watched this heartwarming scene from the side and whispered to Ming Chuan, "Don't worry, I will always keep an eye on them. The barrier here is very safe and no one will find out."

Mingchuan smiled and said, "Thank you."

Seeing the children smile again, Mingchuan finally felt relieved.

His eyes swept gently over the three little guys, and finally fell on Chen Shu, with a bit of inquiry and expectation.

"It's not enough to just talk without practice," Mingchuan said with a relaxed smile, "Come, let me see, have you made any progress in practicing the sect's Burning Heaven Art these days?"

"Chen Shu, since you have already established your foundation, you should start first and demonstrate the results of your recent cultivation."

When Chen Shu heard this, his eyes lit up and he immediately straightened up.

He walked to the open space in the center of the courtyard, took a deep breath, and his expression became focused.

He slowly raised his hands, and the spiritual power of the foundation-building period in his body surged, circulating according to the route of the Burning Heaven Art. A light red halo appeared around his body, with a faint warm breath.

He first practiced a set of basic boxing techniques.

His movements were smooth, and the wind from his fists carried a faint scorching airflow. With the infusion of spiritual energy, every punch and kick seemed solid and powerful, far exceeding the level of an ordinary cultivator in the early stage of foundation building!

After finishing his move, he did not stop. He pinched his fingers together and muttered something. A wisp of hot flame suddenly shot up in his palm and then condensed into a pigeon egg-sized, steadily burning fireball!

This is the advanced application of the Qingcheng Yufa Sect's basic fire magic "Fire Condensation Technique", which requires a good control over the spiritual power of the Burning Heaven Technique.

"go with!"

Chen Shu let out a low shout, and a small fireball shot out, accurately hitting a bluestone used as a target several feet away.

There was a slight "hiss" sound, and a small charred mark was left on the surface of the bluestone, and a faint smell of fireworks filled the air.

A hint of surprise flashed in Mingchuan's eyes.

Chen Shu has only been building his foundation for a short time, but not only is his base solid, his control over fire spiritual power far exceeds that of his peers. The calmness and ease with which he casts spells even reveals a sophistication that is inconsistent with his age.

This speed of progress is amazing!

"it is good!"

Mingchuan couldn't help but praise him out loud, and walked forward to pat Chen Shu on the shoulder, "Your foundation in the Burning Heaven Art is solid, the power of the Fire Spirit is flowing smoothly, and your technique of condensing and controlling fire has also reached a high level, exceeding my expectations."

"Chen Shu, you did a great job."

After receiving Mingchuan's praise, the calm expression that Chen Shu had been trying hard to maintain finally cracked, revealing a childish, shy and happy smile.

"Wow! Brother Shu is so awesome!" Yaya clapped her hands, her face full of admiration.

Jinwa's eyes widened as he shouted, "I want to learn this too! Brother Ziang, I want to learn such powerful fire magic too!"

Mingchuan smiled and turned to the two little guys: "Okay, okay, let's learn both. But you have to lay a solid foundation in the Burning Heaven Art first."

"Come on, Yaya, Jinwa, let me see how your practice of the Qi-inducing chapter of the Burning Heaven Art is going."

Yaya and Jinwa immediately stood up excitedly and began to practice the basic method of "Burning Heaven Art" in an orderly manner.

Although his movements were still a little immature and his spiritual power was weak, there was a faint red light flowing around his body and his breath had a unique warmth, which clearly showed that he had not been slacking off on his usual days.

Mingchuan patiently pointed out their minor shortcomings in a gentle tone.

Jin Man watched quietly from the side. The aroma of the spiritual tea on the stone table rose up, mixed with the children's clear voices and Mingchuan's low explanation. The courtyard was filled with long-lost tranquility and warmth.

The afterglow of the setting sun fills the courtyard, coating everyone with a layer of warm golden light...

This scene actually made Jin Man's heart waver.

She... seemed to suddenly hope that she and Mingchuan could be an ordinary couple, and the three children in front of her were their children.

After realizing what he was thinking, Jinman's cheeks turned slightly red, and he immediately lowered his head and shook off those unrealistic thoughts.

Mingchuan didn't notice her movements at all.

He watched the three little figures diligently practicing in the courtyard, listening to their encouragement and occasional cheers over small improvements...

The heartstrings that had been tense due to calculations and dangers in recent days completely relaxed at this moment.

This kind of comfort is really rare.

He picked up the spiritual tea handed to him by Jin Man, took a sip, and the fragrance of the tea was refreshing.

This moment of peace was like a rare safe haven in the storm, allowing him to breathe and making him more determined to protect everything.

"Although these three children are an unexpected responsibility for me, they have really added a bit of color to my boring days alone in the Qingcheng Yufa Sect."

Jin Man smiled and said, "What's the matter? Are you thinking of becoming a father?"

Mingchuan suddenly remembered the child who had never been born...

Forget it, everyone has their own destiny.

He put aside his previous thoughts and spoke softly to Jinman, his eyes still gently on the children.

"Although the Burning Heaven Technique is fierce, they have laid a good foundation, especially Chen Shu, who has a promising future."

Jin Man smiled slightly and said nothing more, but just poured him another cup of hot tea.

At this moment, silence is better than sound.

The setting sun sank into the western mountains, and when dusk deepened, Mingchuan left the barrier in the back mountains.

The half day spent with Jinman and the children completely relaxed his tense nerves, and even his steps became lighter.

When I returned to Fentian Pavilion, the spiritual lamps in the courtyard were already lit, and the warm yellow light reflected on the crabapple branches, creating a sense of tranquility.

As soon as I stepped into the courtyard, a figure came into view.

Hongxiu was wearing a light pink tight-fitting dress that only reached her knees, revealing her slender white calves.

She held a bamboo broom in her hand, but did not move much. Instead, she leaned sideways against the porch pillar, her black hair casually tied up, and a few strands of hair hung beside her cheeks.

Seeing Mingchuan coming back, he immediately put down the broom and walked quickly to greet him.

"Master Cang, you are finally back."

Her voice was as soft as if soaked in honey, with just the right amount of joy in her eyes, and she reached out to take Mingchuan's robe.

"Since it's getting late, I thought I'd clean up the courtyard and warm up some spiritual porridge for you. Would you like to try it now?"

As she spoke, she deliberately leaned forward, and the neckline of her dress slipped down slightly, revealing her delicate collarbone.

She moved gently, as if she was afraid of disturbing Mingchuan.

But when she turned around to serve the porridge, she deliberately slowed down her pace, and her skirt swayed gently with her movements, outlining her slender waist and soft curves.

Every gesture carries a carefully designed charm.
