The head master has a new female apprentice

Chapter 472 Grandpa, where did Grandma go? (Third update)
Inside the room, Yao Yao was wearing a light pink ruqun (a type of traditional Chinese dress), her jet-black hair was tied into two cute buns, and her delicate, pretty face wore an innocent smile.

Uncle Er's Adam's apple bobbed a few times, and his eyes involuntarily welled up with tears.

He reached out tremblingly and carefully pulled Yao Yao into his arms.

He kissed the girl's delicate face repeatedly, his gray beard making Yao Yao giggle.

"Are you really my grandpa?" Yao Yao stretched out her little hand, not at all shy, and instead curiously tugged at her second grandpa's soft beard and played with it.

"Of course!" The second uncle's voice choked with emotion. "If you don't believe me, ask your father."

He looked up at Zhou Qing, who was leaning against the door frame, nodding with a smile.

Yao Yao immediately cheered, "That's great! Grandpa, why did you only come to see me now?"

Her pouting and coquettish manner melted Uncle Er's heart.

"Grandpa has run into some trouble these past few years, which has delayed things." The second uncle gently flicked Yao Yao's nose. "But Grandpa did see you when you were born."

"Great!" Yao Yao clapped her hands excitedly. "I saw my maternal grandfather and uncle before, and now I've seen my paternal grandfather too!"

She suddenly tilted her head and asked innocently, "Grandpa, Grandpa, I see that other children have grandmas. Where is my grandma?"

Second Master: “…”

An eerie silence suddenly fell over the room.

Zhou Qing couldn't help but burst out laughing.

The old man's face immediately turned bright red, and he coughed awkwardly twice: "Well... your grandma... she's busy too, you'll see her later."

He hurriedly pulled a spirit beast pouch from his sleeve, his face beaming with a loving smile: "Come, come, look what good things Grandpa brought you!"

He gently patted the spirit beast pouch, and a red light flashed immediately.

A small baby, about three feet tall and wearing a red bib, appeared in front of her.

The little baby's body was as clear as blood jade, with a pigtail tied on top of her head, and a pair of big, dark eyes set in her round face.

It looked like a child of about three or four years old, and its body exuded a strong medicinal fragrance.

"Wow! So cute!" Yao Yao clapped her hands in surprise and immediately opened her arms and rushed forward.

Surprisingly, the doll transformed from the ancient blood ginseng showed no resistance whatsoever. Instead, it stepped forward and reached out its chubby little hand to shake hands with Yao Yao.

The two little ones quickly became friends, making Yao Yao giggle from time to time.

"Giggle-"

Suddenly, a clear rooster crowed outside the door.

Then the old hen strolled gracefully into the room.

Yao Yao's attention was immediately drawn to it: "Wow, what an adorable hen!"

She trotted over and carefully reached out to stroke the old hen's glossy feathers.

To Zhou Qing and his second uncle's surprise, the old hen was surprisingly docile.

It lowered its head slightly, letting Yao Yao stroke it, and occasionally gently pecked at Yao Yao's little hand with its beak, making the little girl laugh again.

Zhou Qing and his second uncle exchanged a smile, letting out a long sigh of relief, their eyes filled with warmth.

However, Swift, who was standing to the side, stared wide-eyed at the blood ginseng doll that was playing with Yao Yao.

He couldn't help but swallow hard: "A ten-thousand-year-old transformation elixir... this... this..."

A storm raged within her.

It should be known that the Transformation Divine Medicine is extremely rare; it is rare to find even one in a fifth-level cultivation country in a thousand years, yet it has now appeared right before our eyes.

Who exactly is this person? Is he really Brother Zhou's father?

...In the following days, Uncle Er seemed to have become a different person, spending all his time by Yao Yao's side.

He taught Yao Yao how to cultivate, told her stories of wonders and anecdotes from the cultivation world, and even showed her some video stones to play various interesting scenes.

Seeing the old man and the child enjoying each other's company, Zhou Qing couldn't help but feel a surge of emotions.

This senior, who lived a carefree life, presented himself in countless ways for most of his life, never staying in one place for long.

Whenever the time is right, he will fake his death and leave, completely severing all ties with the past.

Just like when they were at Taiqing Gate, even though they secretly helped each other, they never revealed their true identities to their old friends.

The only exception was made for Zhou Qing, the second uncle.

Ever since he came to regard Zhou Qing as his true junior, this wandering loner had a new concern in his heart.

Upon learning that Shen Hanyi was pregnant, he was overjoyed and insisted on becoming the child's grandfather.

The joy of being surrounded by grandchildren has brought this old man, who has seen all kinds of storms, an unprecedented sense of warmth and satisfaction.

Seven days later, Zhou Qing finally got in touch with Shen Yunzhou and arranged to meet at the inn.

……

"Grandpa!" Upon seeing Shen Juefeng, Yao Yao immediately slid down from her second uncle's neck and ran happily towards him.

Since the destruction of the Shen family, Shen Juefeng, who rarely smiled, was now laughing heartily. He squatted down and caught his running granddaughter steadily, lifting her high in the air.

"It's been more than half a year since I last saw you, my Yao Yao has grown so much taller and even more beautiful!" Shen Juefeng looked lovingly at his little granddaughter in his arms.

Yao Yao smiled shyly, pointed at her second uncle, and said, "Grandpa said the same thing!"

"Grandpa?" Shen Juefeng then noticed his second uncle standing to the side, his face covered in paint.

The old man's face and clothes were covered in colorful graffiti, making it impossible to recognize his original appearance.

He couldn't help but frown.

Upon seeing this, Zhou Qing quickly explained via telepathy.

Shen Juefeng suddenly realized, and a smile immediately bloomed on his face: "So it's you! I've heard so much about you!"

His cultivation level was one realm higher than Second Uncle's, but Second Uncle casually wiped his face and then treated him as an equal.

"Back when we were in the Shen family, you were a rare talent. I never expected you to be so young and accomplished."

Shen Juefeng was about to reply when he suddenly sensed something and exclaimed in surprise, "Are you about to break through to the Supreme Realm?"

These words startled everyone.

Even Zhou Qing looked at his second uncle in disbelief.

He clearly remembered that when his second uncle was in the third level of the Desolate Forbidden Zone, he barely broke through to the Great Perfection of the Spirit Slaying Realm under the guidance of that divine beast elder brother.

But many years ago, after he and Han Yi saw the Inspector Su Minghe appear on the third floor and fight against that divine beast through the Eightfold Scroll, Second Uncle was forced to leave that place.

How come you're about to break through so quickly?

It seems I underestimated my second uncle's talent.

Upon hearing Shen Juefeng's words, the Second Uncle laughed loudly: "As expected of the former prodigy of the Shen family, you saw through my attempts to hide my true nature."

Shen Juefeng said cheerfully, "Since he is Zhou Qing's elder and Yao Yao's grandfather, we are family. If you need any help, please don't hesitate to ask."

"Speaking of helping," the second uncle said seriously, "I do have a favor to ask of you."

"Do you need a protector?" Shen Juefeng understood immediately.
