After a master of metaphysics severed ties with his family, the whole family was filled with regret!

Chapter 128 I woke up and it was already evening.

"So, what does Xiao Jiu think?"

Nalan Qingyin looked at Luo Chujiu, waiting for her answer.

"Fourth Senior Brother, you, Grandmaster, and His Majesty have already discussed it, so naturally I have no objections. Anyway, I'm idle every day and have nothing to do."

Whether or not Luo Chujiu should become the Imperial Preceptor was not really a big deal. Since his fourth senior brother and grandmaster both thought it was acceptable, then he would just be the Imperial Preceptor.

Seeing that Luo Chujiu didn't seem too averse to it, Nalan Qingyin finally felt relieved.

"Since you agree, starting tomorrow, you will come with me to the Imperial Preceptor's residence. I will tell you what the Imperial Preceptor needs to do every day. A month later, you will be officially announced as the new Imperial Preceptor of the Nanzhao Kingdom."

"Okay, I'll follow Fourth Senior Brother's arrangements. I'm fine with anything."

On this point, Luo Chujiu was exceptionally easy to talk to.

After the two finished discussing the matter of the Imperial Advisor's succession, they left the study.

It was almost lunchtime, and a large group of people were having lunch at the Imperial Preceptor's residence.

However, they mainly ate with Luo Chujiu, since Kong Xianling and Nalan Qingyin had already abstained from grains, so it didn't matter whether they ate or not.

After lunch, Luo Chujiu led Xiao Beiming back to her bedroom to rest.

This was the first time Xiao Beiming had spent so much time in Luo Chujiu's bedroom, and the first time he had had the time to properly look around her room.

"It's not like this is your first time in my room, why are you so curious?"

"I have been here before, but I have never really looked at Xiao Jiu's room properly. After all, it's a young lady's bedroom, and it's not proper for a man like me to stare at it for so long."

But now it's different. This is his wife's room, so he can look at it however he wants.

Luo Chujiu understood Xiao Beiming's opening remarks and couldn't help but laugh:
"I've noticed that you always have a lot of strange things to focus on and reasons for."

"Really? Then will Xiao Jiu not like me doing this?"

"No, I'll love you no matter what."

"Really? Xiao Jiu isn't just saying sweet things to coax me, is she?"

"Of course not. I never lie. I've decided on you as a person, so no matter what you are like, I like you."

Xiao Beiming couldn't help but laugh when he heard Luo Chujiu's words, and then asked her:

"What did the Imperial Preceptor want to talk to you about? And we weren't allowed to listen in?"

"Actually, it's nothing much, it's just that they want me to take over the position of Imperial Preceptor."

When Xiao Beiming asked her that question, Luo Chujiu told him directly, not thinking it was something to hide.

Xiao Beiming was quite surprised to hear this:
"You mean the Imperial Advisor is stepping down?"

"That's right, otherwise how could I become the Imperial Preceptor? My fourth senior brother said he was going back to Xuanfeng Mountain to continue his cultivation, so the position of Imperial Preceptor will be handed over to me. Once I find someone to take my place, I can also return to Xuanfeng Mountain."

Although she didn't know how long it would take, Luo Chujiu at least had something to look forward to: fulfilling her fourth senior brother's request.

Xiao Beiming was slightly startled:
In the Nanzhao Kingdom, the Grand Preceptor's status was second only to the Emperor, and even Prince Xiao Beiming had to show him respect.

"What, do you think I'm not qualified to be the Grand Preceptor of the Nanzhao Kingdom?"

Seeing Xiao Beiming's surprise, Luo Chujiu couldn't help but ask:
"How could that be? Everyone has witnessed Xiao Jiu's abilities. No one doubts your capabilities. You are absolutely capable of becoming the Grand Preceptor of Nanzhao Kingdom. I'm just surprised. The Grand Preceptor looks so young, how come you have to step down?" "Fourth Senior Brother looks young, but he's actually not young anymore. Besides, all of us senior brothers and sisters have missions to fulfill when we go down the mountain. After completing our missions, we naturally have to return to Xuanfeng Mountain." Luo Chujiu said nonchalantly.

"A mission? Will Xiao Jiu abandon everything and return to Xuanfeng Mountain after completing the mission?"

"That's right. My mission is to sever ties with relatives and friends. Once these two important matters are settled and I find the next successor to the Imperial Preceptor, I can return to Xuanfeng Mountain. Brother Beiming, Xuanfeng Mountain is so much fun, you'll see when the time comes."

Luo Chujiu felt that once Xiao Beiming regained his memories and remembered what his mission was, they could complete the mission together, return to Xuanfeng Mountain together, and never be separated again.

When Xiao Beiming heard that he was part of Luo Chujiu's future plans, his unease instantly vanished.

only--

"What exactly does Xiao Jiu mean by severing ties?"

"I don't know yet, I haven't figured it out. The literal meaning should be to end the karmic ties, but the karmic ties between Brother Beiming and me are preordained and cannot be severed. I don't know what it means to end the karmic ties."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Beiming's expression turned sour.

Does that mean Xiao Jiu has to sever ties with him for it to be considered a complete break? How could that be? He absolutely cannot allow such a thing to happen.

"Okay, Brother Beiming, don't worry. I'll figure out how to handle my task myself. Aren't you sleepy? I felt sleepy after eating. I want to take a nap. Do you want to come with me?"

"Of course I want it!"

Upon hearing that Luo Chujiu wanted to take a nap, Xiao Beiming immediately put aside his dark thoughts, took off his coat, and lay down on the bed with Luo Chujiu for a nap.

With his soft wife in his arms, Xiao Beiming felt that he could reconcile with all the bad things in the world.

When the two of them woke up, it was almost dusk. Xiao Beiming felt that time seemed to fly by when he and Luo Chu were together for a long time. How could today have passed so quickly?

"Xiao Jiu, wake up! It's getting late, and we've been taking a long nap."

Xiao Beiming chuckled, then woke Luo Chujiu up.

"It's so late already, it's time to get up and have dinner."

Hearing that Luo Chujiu only cared about food, Xiao Beiming looked helpless.

After Luo Chujiu got up, Xiao Beiming started combing her hair again. After sleeping, her hair was a complete mess.

Having learned from this morning's experience, Xiao Beiming combed his hair much faster this time, and he did it neatly without any crooked sections.

Luo Chujiu looked at herself in the mirror and nodded with satisfaction:
"Brother Beiming combed his hair very well this time, it's not crooked at all."

Hearing her praise, Xiao Beiming couldn't help but smile.
"Next time will be even better. From now on, I'll take care of Xiao Jiu's hair."

"Okay, sure, then I'll let you do Feiyun's work."

Anyway, it doesn't matter who combs their own hair, right?
After they woke up, the other senior brothers all went back to their respective places, except for Nalan Qingyin.

"Fourth Senior Brother, have the other three Senior Brothers gone home?"

“It’s getting late, and they haven’t waited for Xiao Jiu to wake up from his afternoon nap.” Nalan Qingyin chuckled helplessly, “How can they be so sleepy? They’ve been sleeping for two or three hours.”

Luo Chujiu smiled sheepishly, "It's cold outside, and it's warmer under the covers, so I don't want to get up at all."
