Divine Seal: I am the Demon God Emperor's beloved granddaughter

Chapter 4: It's not his child, so he can just use him.
Although he wanted to use this peak first-tier magical beast to test their limits.

But they never imagined how powerful they could be, let alone that they could defeat this monster.

He had long been prepared to take action, and also wanted to set an example for Bai Xi.

Can……

Looking at the first-tier peak magical beast that had been almost split in two by a sword and burned by flames, barely clinging to life.

Long Xingyu fell silent.

Although he wasn't the only one who remained silent, Long Haochen was overjoyed after a brief silence.

"Xixi, you're amazing! I feel like I'll have to rely on you to protect my brother from now on."

"Sigh, you're so amazing, when will I ever hear you willingly call me 'brother'?"

Long Haochen lowered his head, feigning sorrow; anyone with eyes could see it was intentional.

"That trick won't work, I've told you so many times. I'll call you 'brother' when you can beat me. So you have to work hard, Chenchen."

Bai Xi raised her chin slightly with a touch of arrogance, quite satisfied with the strength she had displayed.

Before the first seal was broken, no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't use a single bit of spiritual power and couldn't experience today's scene of using wood to start a fire.

Even peak-level first-tier magical beasts didn't seem to push them to their limits, but Long Xingyu didn't want to try anymore.

"Haochen, are you alright?"

Out of curiosity about Bai Xi, Long Xingyu chose to appear before them.

"Teacher, what are you doing here!"

Upon seeing Long Xingyu, Long Haochen was very excited and quickly replied to his question.

"I'm fine, I'm sorry to have worried you."

When Long Xingyu appeared, Bai Xi had already hidden behind Long Haochen, her speed was astonishing.

"It's good that you're alright. Who wielded that sword?"

Long Xingyu, knowing full well the answer, pointed to the lifeless demonic beast and asked.

"This……"

Long Haochen sensed Bai Xi's rejection and wanted to say it was him, but he felt it was wrong to lie to his teacher, so he hesitated.

"it's me."

Not wanting to put Long Haochen in a difficult position, Bai Xi took the initiative to step forward and confront Long Xingyu, whom she felt inexplicably resistant to.

"you?"

Long Xingyu looked Bai Xi up and down, but couldn't find anything wrong with her; she still looked like she had a congenital deficiency.

Perhaps, her appearance doesn't match her inner qualities; she just seems to lack talent.

It's a pity, it's a girl.

But could this talent be... perhaps it's part of that guy's genes?
Why? Why is his child so outstanding?

"How did you suddenly gain spiritual power? Who taught you swordsmanship?"

What Long Xingyu really wanted to ask was this: he had never seen Bai Xi's sword strike before.

If the person wielding this sword is stronger, its power will only be greater.

"Why do I need someone to teach me? Can't I learn it myself?"

Bai Xi said that she figured out this sword technique on her own.

Perhaps it's related to her sealed memories of her past life, which have shaped some muscle memory.

Anyway, she learned this move naturally.

"There's no need to lie. You're just a nine-year-old child; there's absolutely no way you could have figured out this move. Being able to use it is the result of your exceptional talent and diligent practice."

Long Xingyu's condescending and dismissive tone made Bai Xi very uncomfortable. Before she could say anything, Long Haochen, the doting brother, couldn't hold back any longer.

“Teacher, you can’t say that about my sister. My sister never lies. She said she figured it out on her own, and she really did. I believe her, and I hope you will believe her too.”

Long Haochen's unwavering protection of Bai Xi displeased Long Xingyu, who wanted to teach them a lesson and show them that lying was wrong.

But then he thought, why should he bother arguing with two nine-year-old children?
Besides, this isn't his child, so why is he so concerned?

"If you say you figured it out yourself, then you figured it out yourself."

When Long Xingyu uttered those words, he was completely using these two children as pawns, even though Long Haochen was his apprentice.

Long Haochen was a genuine nine-year-old child, incredibly naive. He truly believed that Long Xingyu trusted them and even smiled.

But Bai Xi wasn't easily fooled; she saw right through the deception. She didn't have a good impression of Long Xingyu either, but she knew she was no match for him and couldn't afford to offend him.

So she tugged at Long Haochen's sleeve, "Chenchen, we have to go back quickly, Mom is getting worried."

Long Haochen looked up at the sky and immediately became anxious.

"We've already been delayed for so long, we need to hurry back, teacher, we'll be going now."

"Bring her over when you go up the mountain tomorrow. I want to test her spiritual power."

After Long Xingyu instructed Long Haochen to bring Bai Xi along.

The brother and sister left in a hurry.

Long Xingyu stopped in his tracks, staring blankly in the direction they had left.

"This girl is just as annoying as that person. No wonder she has a face that looks just like his."

"I used to think she didn't have the talent for cultivation, so I overlooked her. Now it seems she can be of some use."

"Fengxiu, I wonder how you would feel if you saw a girl who looks like you, wielding a sword and trying to kill you?"

"Is it like me ten years ago?"

Long Xingyu muttered to himself, recalling some unbearable past events, and a pained expression appeared on his face.

Ten years ago, he lost his beloved wife shortly after their marriage.

His beloved wife was kidnapped by thieves right before his eyes, and there was no news of her since.

Years later, when he found his wife again, she already had a son and a daughter.

The son's mental strength is strong, unlike that of his bloodline.

And that daughter, even at such a young age, showed a resemblance to the thief, especially her eyes…

No matter how you look at it, these two children don't seem to be his bloodline; they seem more like the bloodline of that thief.

Memories flooded back, and Long Xingyu felt his head throb again.

"Yue'er..."

Meanwhile, when Bai Xi and Long Haochen rushed home, Bai Yue was getting impatient as they hadn't returned and was preparing to go out to look for them.

Then two small figures ran back, and a smile immediately appeared on their faces as they walked forward.

"Chenchen, Xixi, why are you so late today? Come wash your hands and eat."

Bai Yue is a very gentle and beautiful woman. Long Haochen looks extremely like her, so he has some feminine features and is easily mistaken for a girl.

Looking at her mother smiling at her, Bai Xi could directly sense her unhappiness.

Bai Yue seems to suffer from severe depression, but she doesn't bring these emotions to her two children; instead, she inflicts physical and mental torment on herself.

Although the family's financial situation has improved in recent years, Bai Yue still works tirelessly, and still can't fall asleep every night.
