"It's not possible anyway. Master said that you can't go out."

Meng Li had a cute face with eyes wide open, but in Lu Jinan's eyes, she didn't look fierce at all.

He sat back on the swing, his hand hooked up his pigtail and pinched it, "I'm not going anywhere, I'm just going home. Master won't let me go down to the mortal world to cause trouble, but I miss home, so I'm just going home."

He has been having some unfamiliar memories these days, and he suspects that it is Yun Yi's own memory that is slowly coming back. When Lu Jinan recalls these vague fragments, the sound of broken strings seems to appear in his mind again.

Meng Li lowered his head, his brows knitted together, "Well... Master didn't seem to say whether I could go back."

The little man opposite rubbed his temples, then suppressed the smile at the corner of his mouth with success, "Yes, Ali, Master said that I can't go out, but he didn't say that I can't go home."

"Little Ali, it's so boring to stay here alone. Master is in seclusion anyway, why don't you come home with me?"

Meng Li twisted his sleeves, and before he could make a decision, he was pulled into his arms with a tug on his arm.

"Don't worry, I'm here, no one will bully you."

"Brother, protect you."

Someone touched his head gently. Meng Li looked up at the person riding on the cloud with a happy face, and slowly lowered his head.

Never mind, he has the master's tracking rune engraved on his body. As long as he follows his brother, he will be fine.

"Little Ali, you're so young and you're here to become my disciple. Were you scared when you first came?"

"Meng Li, Meng Li," the person in front of him murmured softly, and no one knew what he was thinking. He was awakened by a nightmare this morning, so he woke up so early. The feeling of his heart being torn when he woke up was too familiar to him. It must be what that person had experienced, and what he had experienced as well.

Meng Li looked up and saw the person with his back to him suddenly shrug his shoulders.

"Ali is not afraid."

Lu Jinan turned around and looked into the pair of sensible eyes, "It's okay to be afraid, senior brother will protect you. From now on, senior brother will take our little Ali with him wherever he goes." He turned his face away, casually pulled a piece of cloud outside, and then it turned into a piece of candy in the palm of his hand with a pop.

"This is a very sweet food. I don't know if it's available here, but it should be available in the mortal world. I'll buy some for you when I have the chance."

Meng Li looked into his eyes, wondering why he did that.

"My magic isn't refined enough. I can only change the appearance of an object, but I can't turn it into something real."

His tone was somewhat arrogant. "So I want you to remember this. This thing is delicious. Many children like to eat it. If we see it outside in the future, you must remind me."

Meng Li held the candy, and Lu Jinan held it through his hand. His eyes were lowered, and a happy smile was on his lips. He whispered, "I have eaten it before, but no one buys it for me anymore."

Looking at the clear-eyed boy above his head, he couldn't help but exert force with his palms, and the cloud that turned into candy disappeared in an instant.

When Lu Jinan let go of his hand, Meng Li's heart tightened, thinking that he had discovered something, and reached out to grab the corner of his clothes, "Senior Brother..."

Lu Jinan smiled and said, "I bought you some candy, so please don't tell Master something secretly."

The little guy always stares at him from behind like he's writing a criminal record, and it's hard not to suspect that he's a child laborer for Akabane.

The gods are not completely detached from the mundane world.

The mist suddenly lifted, and a long ladder of light appeared before them. They led into the Tongtian Gate. The white jade pillars everywhere made it impossible to tell the way. (To put it simply, Lu Jinan couldn't tell the way.)

A fairy girl came towards me, with tall eyebrows, light eyes, and flowing white clothes. The thin hairpins in her hair swayed gently.

Lu Jinan pulled the person to stop, "Aunt Huaxu."

Although these extra memories made his brain a bit heavy, they also solved many embarrassing situations that he should have faced, so he had figured it out a long time ago.

What’s the difference between this and the original mission? It’s just an immersive script-killing game.

Huaxu looked at Lu Jinan with loving eyes and touched his head, "Your Highness has grown so tall." He was once a little baby in her arms.

As expected, with someone leading the way, Lu Jinan and Meng Li naturally stopped circling around the white pillars.

After entering the Xuantian Gate, the platinum Xuantian Gate was still carved from those white jade pillars. Although it was towering into the clouds, but... in Lu Jinan's eyes, it was just a few white jade pillars.

Really... every pillar is carved exactly the same.

Some of them are copied and pasted. I suspect even gods have their own assembly lines.

The statues of mythical beasts standing on both sides were awe-inspiring without even looking at them, which made Lu Jinan take a few more glances at them.

"Didn't they say that the Celestial Clan and the Divine Beast Clan would never interact with each other?"

Meng Li tugged at his senior brother's sleeve and asked in a low voice.

Lu Jinan raised his head, eyebrows raised, and looked quite proud. "This is such old history. Junior brothers, you must review the history of heaven carefully. Senior brothers who failed the exam should know this."

"My mother is a descendant of both of them."

"The past fifteen generations of the Tiandi family are all descendants of the Celestial Clan and the Divine Beast Clan."

"This has to do with how my great-great-great-great-grandfather built his empire."

Seeing him talking non-stop, Meng Li just laughed to himself, thinking that his senior brother just remembered what he said about cramming at the last minute. He also took the opportunity to hug his arm and said, "Senior brother is very talented, but he just doesn't like to study on weekdays. If he had not fallen behind in his studies every day, why would he need the teacher's lectures..."

Lu Jinan quickly covered his mouth and glanced at his aunt next to him. Damn it, this kid... He is so smart, his mouth is even more quick-witted than that treacherous minister in the palace.

Seeing the beautiful eyes staring at him, Meng Li stuttered, "No, I didn't learn anything. I just like to play around a little on weekdays. It's just that you didn't notice it, Ali."

"Also, the teacher has been teaching for so many years that I wonder how much longer his beard is than mine. Ah Li, don't talk like that in the future. Regardless of whether the younger generation is better than the teacher, respecting the teacher is the proper etiquette for elders and seniors."

It would have been fine if he hadn't come before, because it was Yun Yi who was causing all the mischief. But after he came, he never showed any disrespect to the teacher again.

Especially since the old gentleman had countless students at home. If you went against him, you'd be drowned in spitting. Glancing at the fairy before him, Lu Jinan winked at Meng Li. This "Hua Xu" aunt was the Queen Mother's right-hand man. She was more like a sister than a study partner. She could say anything to the Queen Mother.

Lu Jinan didn't want to give his parents and brother, who were not far away, the first impression of being a playboy.

Meng Li looked at the look in his senior brother's eyes, and then at the fairy looking over at him, who immediately understood. He nodded in agreement, "Senior brother is right. It's my fault that Ah Li only pesters you when they're playing, and doesn't see how seriously you're studying Taoism."

"Ali spoke too hastily and failed to show respect to the gentleman. That was quite rude of him."

Listening to the two kids talking back and forth, Huaxu looked over and saw Lu Jinan giving Meng Li a thumbs up.

The little prince is very smart and has grown a lot.

He glanced at the child next to him, and the look in his eyes changed inadvertently, and his tone became stern, "Since you are staying in the Celestial Clan, don't lose the face of the Red Feather War God."

"Since Your Highness has brought you here, you must always be mindful of your behavior and manners. This is not your little kingdom."

Meng Li lowered his eyes. Lu Jinan inadvertently shielded the person behind him and said with a smile, "It's just that I usually don't speak seriously. Before coming here, I told Ali that the elders at home are kind and there is no need to be so formal and avoid so many rules. I told Ali to treat her as her own. If Auntie wants to blame someone, blame Xiaoyi."

Seeing his flattering words and aggrieved look, Huaxu couldn't bear to say anything harsh. She poked his forehead with her fingertips and said, "Your Highness, what you said makes it seem like Auntie is the unreasonable one."

Lu Jinan held Meng Li's wrist with one hand behind her back and pulled the fairy forward to flatter her, "How could Aunt be unreasonable? Aunt is teaching us. However, when the teacher teaches us, he always rewards us with chips to motivate the students. Aunt, shouldn't you prepare chips for me and my junior brother?"

The scallion-white finger tapped Lu Jinan's head and said, "What kind of atmosphere is this? It must be because of your mischief that the teacher forced you to learn like this."

Lu Jinan scratched his head, and turned away as if his thoughts were exposed, his expression and movements showing signs of being very busy.

Meng Li lowered his head behind Lu Jinan and was about to pull away, but the hand he was holding tightened and refused to let go.

The fingertips drew strokes on the wrist, and the strokes appeared so clearly in Meng Li's mind.

No grievance

Brother is here

Meng Li raised his head and looked at his senior brother in front of him with a beautiful smile, and the small fist in his palm gradually relaxed.
