After the mind-reading cripple junior sister, the entire sect rose to prominence.

Chapter 62 Uneasy and kind-hearted
The last time Xuan'er wanted to eat it, he asked his mother for some, but she was busy and too lazy to make it for him, so he's been thinking about it ever since.

Just after entering the Immortal Sect, I discovered that there were green hibiscus trees growing there, so I simply ordered some dishes.

"You child, you really don't know any better."

Zhang Runing glared at her son, then smiled sheepishly at Chen Lan, "You don't need to pay attention to him, he's just a glutton."

They've already asked, so it seems a bit unreasonable not to do it.

Chen Lan smiled and agreed, "It's alright, it's rare for you to come, I'll cook it for Xuanxuan. You wait here, I'll go pick some green leaves."

"go together."

Zhang Runing brought his son along, and the four of them walked together toward the wall planted with green clover leaves.

Chen Lan looked down to pick it, only to realize that she was holding Mo Jiuwei and couldn't free her hands.

"Let me hold him." Zhang Runing stepped forward at the right time, stretching out her hands. "This child is so handsome, it's a good opportunity for me to get close to him."

Chen Lan frowned, not really wanting to let go. "Fine, I'll call some people to help..."

"Don't bother others, I'll do it."

Zhang Runing accepted Mo Jiuwei without saying a word.

She was a mother herself, and her way of holding a child was very skillful, quick, and precise.

Seeing her actions, Chen Lan stopped refusing.

Since I've already hugged him, I can't just take him back. Besides, no one else can smoke Green Leaf cigarettes except me.

Unless Zhang Runing comes to pick them, I can stand aside with my child in my arms, but that would be impolite.

So we'll just have to make do with this.

"Be good, Jiuwei. I'll come and hug you again in a bit," Chen Lan said to Mo Jiuwei before bending down to pick leaves.

[Okay.]

Mo Jiuwei had no objection.

She was very sensible; knowing that this person was Chen Lan's relative, she wouldn't make things difficult for Chen Lan.

It's just a hug, it won't hurt you.

"Sister Lan, how has your sect been doing lately? Is it still as stagnant as before?"

While Chen Lan was busy, Zhang Runing stood beside her and chatted idly.

"Things are a little better. Everyone in the sect is working hard, and everyone wants to make a good living," Chen Lan said.

"Really? That's great news! I'm happy for you too."

"Mother, look! There's a butterfly!" Xuan'er shouted.

"Where?"

"There it is, purple, do you see it?" Xuan'er hurriedly tugged at his mother's clothes, and Zhang Runing, afraid that he would fall, quickly followed.

Chen Lan took a moment to look up and saw that they had only gone to the corner behind her, not far away, only about twenty steps away.

She glanced at Mo Jiuwei and saw that Zhang Runing was still holding her well and wouldn't hurt her, so she felt relieved.

However, she still gave a final instruction, "Ru Ning, take good care of Jiu Wei."

"I understand," Zhang Runing replied quickly.

Picking green hibiscus leaves is quite a painstaking process. Its buds are very small, and only those parts will be tender and fragrant. If you accidentally pick one or two extra leaves from the bottom, the taste will be slightly bitter.

Green Cloud Pastry is said to be pastry, but it actually melts in your mouth, and the ingredients used are quite good. Even Mo Jiuwei can eat some.

So Chen Lan thought she should make it as meticulous and plentiful as possible so that Jiu Wei could also have a taste.

So she was very meticulous when picking them, only picking the tender leaves and not touching any of the extra ones. At first, she would look back every few leaves she picked, but each time she looked, she saw Zhang Runing holding Mo Jiuwei, while Xuan'er was running around catching butterflies.

Nothing happened, so Chen Lan gradually focused on her work, because if she wanted to do more, she had to pick more, otherwise there wouldn't be enough juice.

Mo Jiuwei felt disgusted when she was held in someone's arms.

Although she didn't object due to the overall situation and obediently let herself be taken away, she didn't like the mother and child at all.

Especially this Xuan'er, who is clearly a boy, but has a high-pitched and loud voice, which she finds extremely noisy.

She could only silently endure it, comforting herself: Don't argue with a brat, he's still young.

Even Chen Lan was afraid he would make a noise, so she asked Xuan'er to keep his voice down, but he acted as if he was deaf, shouting as he pleased without restraint.

Ugh, brats are such a nuisance.

There's probably no other child in this world as well-behaved as me.

That's true; you can't expect everyone to be like me.

Chen Lan chuckled softly as she listened, thinking to herself that Jiu Wei was indeed adorable.

She's right, there's no child in the world as lovely as her anymore.

Yes, I do too, my own daughter counts as one.

Chen Lan smiled slightly. She felt a pang of heartache when she thought of her daughter, but the presence of Mo Jiuwei soothed her pain, and her heart softened.

"Mother, I want to eat that fruit, pick it for me!" Xuan'er suddenly shouted.

He was referring to the green berries on the branches in the corner of the wall. Two of them were already ripe, with a pinkish-green hue, but they were too high for him to reach.

"It's a bit high, Mom, let me try it."

As Zhang Runing spoke, she held Mo Jiuwei in one arm and reached out with the other, tiptoeing to pick the fruit.

But it still can't reach.

"Forget it, it's too high, Mother can't reach it," Zhang Runing said, withdrawing her hand.

Xuan'er was furious. "No, I want it! I want it! Pick it for me now, hurry up!"

In his haste, he grabbed Zhang Runing's clothes and pulled them down, and that wasn't all; with his other hand, he even grabbed Mo Jiuwei!
Mo Jiuwei was wearing children's clothes with a thin blanket wrapped around her. His hand happened to grab the blanket and pinched a bit of Mo Jiuwei's skin!
The child didn't know his own strength, and Mo Jiuwei immediately felt pain, instinctively letting out a cry of pain.

This sound was completely different from her usual cheerful shouts; at least, no one in the Immortal Sect had ever heard her make such a sound before.

Chen Lan shuddered and immediately turned her head sharply, only to see Mo Jiuwei screaming in pain as Xuan'er ripped off half of the blanket.

Ouch, you brat, that hurts!

[Senior sister, please save me!]

"Jiuwei! Stop it!"

Chen Lan threw down all the leaves in her hand, rushed over in a few steps, pushed Xuan'er aside, and then took Mo Jiuwei from Zhang Runing's arms.

In her haste, she didn't stop. Although she didn't use her full strength, it was still more than a child could handle.

Xuan'er fell to the ground with a thud, startled at first, and then started wailing loudly.

"Wow, she pushed me! Bad woman, she's a bad woman!"

"Mother, hit her, beat her to death! Waaah..."

He lay on the ground, throwing a tantrum, yelling and thrashing about.

"Oh dear, my baby, get up quickly. Did you fall anywhere? Tell your mother where it hurts."

Zhang Runing's expression changed, and she squatted down to examine her son's head.
