The three-year-old host decides to raise an emperor father for himself.

Regarding Xuan Yuanjing's statement that he would arrange bodyguards for her, Xiao Lanxing's attitude was... she didn't pay attention to her attitude.

She glanced at Chen Li, who was still a little confused, then at the little kitten meowing softly in the arms of the guards, and ran over to Xuan Yuanjing, naturally taking one of his fingers: "Daddy, time to eat."

At the moment she touched Xuan Yuanjing, a certain switch was turned on again.

After several attempts, Xuan Yuanjing had vaguely sensed the connection between his so-called mind-reading ability and Xiao Lanxing, but he was still not certain.

At this moment, he could only once again, without any preparation, use his mind to process the overwhelming thoughts that suddenly surged within him.

That does not work.

Finally, Xuanyuan Jing snapped out of his daze and looked down at the little guy holding his finger.

He thought, at least it can't be like this every time, getting knocked unconscious unexpectedly.

When there are no enemies around, things are fine, but if you lose control for even a moment at a critical moment, the consequences are immeasurable.

However, although he vaguely sensed the connection between mind-reading and Xiao Lanxing, Xuan Yuanjing, who had already become somewhat corrupted after waking up, was not yet so deranged as to intend to kill the little girl.

Chen Li's voice reached Xuan Yuanjing's ears at this moment: "It seems that His Highness really likes this girl. Could it be that the previous guess was correct? Is this girl really His Highness's bloodline, which is why His Highness unconsciously gets close to her?"

Xuanyuan Jing's brow twitched.

Chen Li's thoughts came again: "This is not a big problem. The young lady is still so young. Even if someone behind the scenes wants to control her, a child this young will not understand such things. If Your Highness wants to keep her and raise her, she will definitely be close to Your Highness in the future."

Xuanyuan Jing: "Chen Li."

Chen Li immediately replied, "Your subordinate is here."

After a brief hesitation, Xuanyuan Jing did not pull away from the hand being held. Instead, he pinched the bridge of his nose with his other hand and instructed, "There are too many people in this courtyard."

It was obvious that compared to when he first woke up and when he woke up for the second time, Xuan Yuanjing heard many more voices this time. If each voice really corresponded to a person, it meant that Chen Li had silently strengthened the protection of the courtyard.

He meant well, but Xuanyuan Jing was tricked.

This might speed up Xuanyuan Jing's adaptation to his new abilities, but for a patient who has just woken up, it is undoubtedly a torment.

Xuanyuan Jing didn't feel that he needed to be tortured like this, and things weren't that critical.

Chen Li: "...Yes, it was my oversight."

Chen Li thought to himself, "Your Highness is right. Although the people who have been rearranged are hiding in the shadows, it is difficult to do anything without leaving a trace. Who knows, someone might notice the traces and expose Your Highness's current situation."

Xuanyuan Jing: ...

Xuan Yuanjing, who simply felt that there were too many people and it was too noisy, thought that there was nothing wrong with Chen Li being willing to fill in the reasons himself.

It wasn't just Chen Li; even the bodyguards secretly protecting him inside the house came up with similar reasons.

Subordinates are willing to rationalize all of their superiors' arrangements, so why should superiors have to explain them in detail?

He told Chen Li to redeploy the people, at least to keep things quiet around him. During this lull, Xuan Yuanjing took Xiao Lanxing's hand and sat down on the edge of the bed, starting to ask her some questions.

Xuanyuan Jing: "Try not to do what you just did in the future."

Xiao Lanxing: "Why?"

Xuanyuan Jing: "You should have come in through the front door. Climbing through the window is bad behavior. What if the people inside are doing something bad while you're climbing through the window?"

Xiao Lanxing blinked: "I'm not going."

He paused, then added, "We're looking for Father. We won't go with the others."

She has no interest in anyone else, at least not at the moment.

Xuanyuan Jing: "..."

I have a sudden feeling of heart attack.

Xuanyuan Jing: "If you're looking for me, you can come in through the main entrance. I'll have them tell you not to stop me later."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Lanxing tilted her head, seemingly puzzled, and said in a childish voice, "They can't stop them."

Therefore, it doesn't matter whether Xuanyuan Jing says it or not.

Xuanyuan Jing: "...Why couldn't we stop them?"

Xiao Lanxing felt the question was unnecessary, but since it was her father who asked, she still explained, "I'm quick."

She ran fast, and those people ran slowly; they couldn't stop her at all.

Xiao Lanxing doesn't understand much, but her self-perception leans towards the idea that she is invincible.

Although it's just a little baby, it's so amazing that it doesn't care at all about the attitudes of people it doesn't pay attention to.

Upon hearing this, Xuan Yuanjing's eyes flickered, but he said, "Really? That's not necessarily true."

Xiao Lanxing: "Really!"

Xuanyuan Jing: "I don't believe it."

The clever and quick-witted little Lanxing wasn't upset by her father's distrust. She looked around and finally said, "Then, I'll run and show Daddy!"

She ran away incredibly fast!

Finally, Xuanyuan Jing actually had Chen Li find a bodyguard known for his speed, to truly compare him with his newborn daughter.

However, Xuanyuan Jing did not go out. Instead, he stood by the window, concealing himself, and silently watched the competition between the two people in the courtyard.

Chen Lili stood behind him, somewhat puzzled by her master's intentions, and asked, "What does Your Highness mean by this? The young lady is so young; she might fall even if she walks just a few steps. If..."

Xuanyuan Jing didn't turn around, only watching the commotion in the courtyard. Hearing this, he said calmly, "Do you think she's an ordinary child?"

Chen Li had no doubt about this: "The young lady is naturally extraordinary and very intelligent."

After spending some time with children of similar age, the difference becomes clear: Xiao Lanxing is indeed different from ordinary children.

Xuan Yuanjing said calmly, "Perhaps she is even more extraordinary than you think?"

Chen Li was puzzled.

But Xuanyuan Jing showed no intention of explaining.

Therefore, Chen Li looked out the window, but he made a mental note of the matter and planned to look at Xiao Lanxing carefully again when he returned to see if he had missed any important information.

In the courtyard, facing the tall, black-clad bodyguard, Xiao Lanxing simply tilted her head up and looked at him for a moment before saying, "I won't hold back."

Bodyguard: "...Yes."

Having been inexplicably transferred here, the guards were left bewildered and confused as they found themselves competing with a tiny baby to see who could run the fastest.

However, the master's orders are paramount. Although they didn't understand, the guards still intended to do their best to comply with their master's requirements.

Xiao Lanxing: "Let's begin!"
