The ancient return was exposed by his sister's live stream.

Studio:

[I am Ying Zheng: Spirit Spring Water! Another good thing!]

[Youyou: Yaoyao, you're so lucky! You have a baby every day!]

[Dongmen Chuixue: I'm so envious, I want to drink it too]

[The Qin family of Wuyishan: Master Chen, are you selling this sacred spring water?]

Chen Siyao shook the jade bottle triumphantly: "Not for sale, not for sale, I'll drink it myself!"

She ran to pour a glass of water, added a tiny drop of the spiritual spring water, and took a sip.

Instantly, a warm sensation rose from my stomach and spread to my limbs, making me feel so comfortable that I wanted to groan.

"So comfortable!" Her eyes lit up.

Chen Hao smiled and sat down on the sofa.

Chen Siyao leaned closer: "Brother, where does this spiritual spring water come from? Is it also from the Queen Mother of the West?"

Chen Hao nodded: "She left behind a lot more."

"Could I send some to the late Qing Dynasty?"

"Sure, but not too much; ordinary people can't handle it."

Chen Siyao nodded, took out her phone and sent a message to Yang Wanqing:

[Yaoyao: Qingqing! Have you finished dealing with things at home? I'll send you some nice things!]

After a while, Yang Wanqing replied:

[Qingqing: Not yet, my grandpa's in the hospital, I'm with him there. What good stuff?]

[Yaoyao: Spirit Spring Water! The kind that makes you beautiful after drinking it!]

[Qingqing: !!! I want it! I want it! Send it to me quickly!]

[Yaoyao: I'll send it via SF Express tomorrow, express delivery! Is your grandpa alright?]

[Late Qing Dynasty: It's an old ailment, probably not a serious problem, but he needs to be hospitalized for observation for a few days.]

[Yaoyao: Take good care of yourself, and contact me anytime if you need anything!]

[Qingqing: Mmm, love you all!]

Chen Siyao put down her phone and said to Chen Hao, "Grandpa Wanqing is in the hospital, and she has been taking care of him there for the past few days."

Chen Hao nodded.

Chen Siyao sighed: "I hope her grandfather is alright."

That evening, Chen Hao cooked another meal.

The meat he took out this time was the leftover from the spirit deer he had killed in the secret realm before.

"Brother, is this meat particularly precious?" Chen Siyao asked while eating.

Chen Hao nodded: "Spirit deer meat replenishes qi and blood, which is beneficial for cultivation."

"What would happen if an ordinary person ate it?"

"Promote longevity and strengthen the body."

Chen Siyao's eyes lit up: "Then let's send some to Qingqing?"

Chen Hao thought for a moment and nodded: "Okay, but don't do too much at once. She has just undergone marrow cleansing, so we should proceed gradually."

Chen Siyao nodded happily.

After finishing her meal, she nestled on the sofa scrolling through her phone when she suddenly saw a trending topic:

#OutdoorXiaoYangApologizes#

She paused for a moment, then clicked to take a look.

It turns out that Xiao Yang from the outdoor area posted an apology video, saying that he "published false information without verification" and apologized to Chen Siyao.

The comments section was filled with mockery:

[User 001]: Now you know how to apologize? Too late.

[User002]: The official stance is clear, what else can you say?

[User003]: This move was both stupid and malicious.

[User004]: If apologies were enough, what would we need the police for?

After reading it, Chen Siyao pouted.

She recalled Yang Feifan's smug face yesterday, and then looked at his crestfallen apologetic appearance now, but felt no emotion.

"Bro, that outdoor enthusiast, Xiao Yang, has apologized."

Chen Hao glanced at her: "How do you feel?"

Chen Siyao thought for a moment, then shook her head: "I don't feel anything. It's his business to apologize, and it's my business whether I forgive him or not. I'm not a saint who has to smile and say it's okay after being scolded."

Chen Hao smiled: "Not bad, you've improved."

Chen Siyao proudly raised her chin: "Of course, I'm your sister!"

Yuehen yawned beside him, turned over and went back to sleep.

The first thing Chen Siyao did after getting up was to send something to Yang Wanqing.

A small bottle of spiritual spring water, a small piece of spiritual deer meat, vacuum-packed, and a few red dust fruits were stuffed inside.

After sending the package, she returned home and found Chen Hao meditating in the living room.

Yuehen lay at his feet, her eyes closed, her breathing steady.

She tiptoed over, sat on the sofa, and quietly watched them.

Sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows, illuminating Chen Hao and bathing him in a golden glow.

His face was calm, his breathing was long and deep, and he seemed to be one with the world.

As Chen Siyao watched, she suddenly felt a little dazed.

This is her brother.

Having lived for over ten thousand years, he has seen ancient gods and demons, served as the tutor of the First Emperor, and even shared wine with the Queen Mother of the West…

But now, he sits here quietly, keeping her company.

Her eyes suddenly felt a little hot.

"Brother," she called softly.

Chen Hao opened his eyes and looked at her: "What's wrong?"

Chen Siyao shook her head, smiled, ran over, and hugged him tightly: "It's nothing, I just wanted to hug you."

Chen Hao was stunned for a moment, then reached out and ruffled her hair.

"Silly girl."

Yuehen opened her eyes, looked at the two of them, let out a soft whimper, and snuggled closer to them.

Chen Siyao felt ticklish from its rubbing and laughed out loud.

"By the way, brother, school starts in a few days, can you take me there?" Chen Siyao looked at her brother expectantly.

"Great, I was just about to go out and buy some things."

a few days later.

The morning sunlight streamed through the floor-to-ceiling windows of Baotian City, casting a warm glow on the polished marble floor.

With a slice of toast in her mouth, a backpack on her back, and white sneakers swaying, Chen Siyao skipped and hopped to the entrance, clutching her newly organized textbooks in her hand.

"Brother, hurry up, we'll be late if we don't leave now! We can't make a bad impression on the counselor when we go to register today!" Her mouth was full of bread, her words were unclear, her round eyes were full of urgency, and her little head kept glancing towards the door.

Chen Hao slowly changed into casual clothes, a simple white sweatshirt paired with black sweatpants, without any extra decorations, yet he managed to exude the aura of a supermodel.

He casually picked up his sister's luggage, ruffled her messy hair, and said in a doting yet indifferent tone, "What's the rush? Pengcheng University is only a 20-minute drive from here. We'll make it."

Yuehen lay on the carpet, still looking like a silly and cute husky, wagging its short tail and looking at Chen Siyao with pleading eyes, making soft "woof woof" sounds, as if it were saying goodbye in a spoiled way.

Chen Siyao squatted down and rubbed its head: "Yuehen, stay home and be a good girl. I'll bring you some snacks when I get home from school."

We got on the bus and drove smoothly towards Pengcheng University. As one of Pengcheng's top key universities, the school gate was already bustling with people. Young and beautiful college students walked in twos and threes, and laughter filled the entire street.

At the school gate, he walked forward carrying Chen Siyao's suitcase.

"Brother, you go back, I can go up by myself." Chen Siyao skipped ahead, turning back to wave at him.

Chen Hao didn't say anything, he just kept walking forward.

Chen Siyao pouted, knowing he wouldn't listen, so she stopped talking.

The two walked along the tree-lined path on campus. Chen Hao was dressed in a simple white T-shirt and black trousers, but he managed to make it look like a magazine cover.

The face was sharply defined in the sunlight, with a faint air of aloofness in its brows and eyes, yet it did not give off a cold feeling.

The girls passing by kept turning around and whispering among themselves:

"Wow, that guy is so handsome!"

"Is she a freshman? I've never seen her before!"
