The mysterious milk group, hands on hips, is being fought over by five dads who are going crazy over

That light just now... was a spell to pray for sunshine!

He had used the spell ten thousand times, but it never worked; the Great Liang was still shrouded in rain and snow...

What exactly happened?

Moreover, he clearly didn't chant any incantations just now!

Zhou Shengze frowned, staring intently at the child who was cowering to the side, too afraid to utter a sound.

Not her!

There must be a third person on this high platform whom he cannot see!

Seeing the reactions of the adults below, Aning guessed that she must have done a great job, and Qiaoqiao should be spared from dying.

Seeing the Imperial Preceptor begin to look around with incense in hand, Ah Ning blinked, quickly tucked her small purse into her pocket, and hurried downstairs.

If we don't run now, we'll be discovered once the invisibility talisman wears off!

But sometimes, what you fear most is exactly what happens...

Ah Ning had only taken two steps when the invisibility talisman on her chest expired, and she floated lightly to the ground with the wind, completely exposing herself to the Grand Preceptor's watchful eye...

Zhou Shengze instinctively stepped forward to completely block her from view, preventing her from being noticed by the subordinates, and asked with a frown:

"Did you cast the spell for clear skies just now?"

Ah Ning took a step back and blinked: "Yes, what's wrong, big brother?"

After saying that, he pursed his lips and muttered two angry words to himself:

She had said from the beginning that this invisibility talisman was no good! Its expiration time was too unpredictable! But her master just wouldn't change it!

Damn it, next time I see my master, I'll definitely tell her to make some serious improvements!

"you......"

It really was her, a child who looked no more than three or four years old, who solved the huge problem that he had tried thousands of times to solve but could not?

Zhou Shengze stared in disbelief at the exquisitely beautiful child before him, seemingly oblivious even as the incense ash burned the back of his hand bright red.

"A-Ning!" Qiaoqiao quickly ran over, took A-Ning's little hand, and exclaimed with delight, "A-Ning, you really came!"

Meeting Qiaoqiao's adoring gaze, Aning suppressed the slight upturn of her lips and patted her chest like an adult making a promise, "Of course, Aning never goes back on her word!"

After saying that, she looked at the Imperial Advisor and asked, "Big brother, can Aning take Qiaoqiao with him?"

Zhou Shengze stared at her for a while with a complicated expression, then said:

"The weather has cleared up, and the sun, which hasn't been seen for four years, has finally emerged from behind the clouds. This is a very auspicious sign, and there's no longer a need for human sacrifices. You can take her away, but..."

He paused, then humbly asked, "Could you tell me how you did it?"

Aning pointed to the sun in the sky. "Big brother, are you talking about that?"

"Yes."

"Hmm..." Ah Ning hesitated for a moment, then asked doubtfully, "Ah Ning did use the Sunshine Spell, didn't Big Brother know that? Why are you asking?"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengze's eyes flickered, his cheeks flushed slightly, and he prepared himself mentally before speaking:

"To be honest, I've tried the Sunshine Spell countless times before, and it's never worked. So... I'd like to ask for your advice..."

After saying that, he turned his head away completely, too embarrassed to look at her again.

Who would have thought that he, a dignified seven-foot-tall man and the personal disciple of the former Grand Preceptor of the Great Liang Dynasty, would have to consult a little girl of only three or four years old on matters of magic...

If his master found out, he would definitely be the first to laugh at him...

"OK."

Ah Ning opened her bright eyes, her fair face slightly flushed by the wind, and began to recite the incantation earnestly.

Zhou Shengze listened carefully, his brows furrowing more and more as he listened.

Her spell was exactly the same as his!

Absolutely identical!

In a daze, he remembered what his master had once said:

"There is a kind of innate spiritual bone in this world, whose talents are different from ordinary people from birth. Not only will they be far faster than others in cultivation, but even when using the exact same talismans and incantations, their power is hundreds or thousands of times greater than that of ordinary people!"

"However, spiritual bones are extremely rare, appearing only once every thousand years. Their appearance in the world will inevitably cause a great deal of chaos."

On his deathbed, the master tightly grasped his hand and, with his last breath, gave him these final words of advice:

"Aze! I've cast a divination, and the Spirit Bone will be born in the near future. The person our clan has waited for for a thousand years is finally coming... You must, you absolutely must protect this person well, otherwise, the world will suffer a great calamity!"

Zhou Shengze was deeply shaken, and his gaze towards A Ning shifted several times, becoming extremely complex...

Could this little girl before us... really be the spirit bone our master spoke of, the one our Zhou Sheng clan has been waiting for for a thousand years...?

"Big brother," A-Ning said, feeling a little uncomfortable under his gaze, "Have you learned it?"

Zhou Shengze came to his senses and found it somewhat amusing.

This girl was actually teaching him very seriously just now.

But he... was completely unable to unleash the same power as she had just displayed...

Seeing the growing commotion in the crowd below, Zhou Shengze's smile faded, and he said:

"Miss Aning can go down with the Third Miss now, but Miss Aning will have to use an invisibility talisman once. If they see Miss Aning going down together, it will be very troublesome to explain."

Ah Ning smiled sweetly: "Okay."

She lowered her head, picked up the small pouch at her waist, stuffed the silly boy deeper inside, pulled out the invisibility talisman, and was about to stick it to her chest when she heard him say:

"Miss Aning, my surname is Zhou Sheng, and my given name is Ze."

Immediately afterwards, Zhou Shengze took off the bright green waist tag from his waist and handed it over, a hint of respect in his eyes.

"This is my waist token. If you encounter any difficulties, Miss, you can take this token to the palace gate, and someone will come to inform me. I will do everything in my power to help!"

If she encounters difficulties, will you help her?

Is my older brother really that nice?

Ah Ning looked up at him with curiosity.

She blinked her big, grape-like eyes twice, and suddenly understood.

The old lady once said that when you're out and about, you should be willing to help others and be kind to them. If you help others, they will lend a helping hand when you need it.

So, it must be because Ah Ning taught Big Brother the Prayer Spell and helped him, and Big Brother gave her the waist token to thank her!

Good job, Aning!

Ah Ning felt a surge of joy in her heart, and she couldn't suppress the smile on her face. She generously accepted the waist token, stuffed it into her small purse, and tilted her head with a smile:

"Big brother, if you don't understand anything next time, you can always ask Aning!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Shengze was left speechless, unsure whether to laugh or cry.

Regardless of whether it's a spiritual bone or the person he's waiting for, he's ultimately just an innocent child.

Seeing that the incense in Zhou Shengze's hand was almost burned out, A Ning didn't delay any longer. She took Qiao Qiao's hand and said, "Qiao Qiao, A Ning is going to become invisible now. Will you be scared to go down alone?"

Qiaoqiao shook her head rapidly: "Of course not! Qiaoqiao knows that Aning is right here with me!"

"Okay! Let's go!"

After saying that, Ah Ning disappeared completely...

Seeing Qiaoqiao head towards the stairs, Zhou Shengze also placed the incense sticks into the incense burner, then faced the crowd below the stage and announced loudly:

"Everyone!"

"For four years, dark clouds have completely obscured the sun, but today the clouds have finally been dispelled, and we can finally see the true sunlight! All of this is thanks to the devout prayers of everyone present!"

Just then, someone below noticed Qiaoqiao on the steps and exclaimed urgently:

"etc!"

"Grand Preceptor! Isn't today's ceremony supposed to include a sacrifice? Wasn't it said that only after the sacrifice would the calamity be completely averted for Great Liang? Why are the offerings being released?"

"Yes, I didn't even notice the offerings were being brought down until you pointed it out!"

Immediately, the people began to denounce it.

"Your Excellency, what is going on? Could it be that you cannot bear to make a sacrifice, disregarding the food and clothing of countless people and the fate of the Great Liang for the sake of a child?!"
