AST 1268 – Trust Is Very Important, Forget Bad Feelings

“Come lass, let me introduce you . This is my wife Di Chen . Di Chen, she’s a daughter I’ve picked up . You can call her Qing Sha!” Qing Shui smiled and took Qing Sha’s hand as he brought her toward Di Chen .

“Father, what do you mean that you picked me up? Don’t be saying it in such a bad way . Hello Madame!” Qing Sha mumbled toward Qing Shui before she smiled and said to Di Chen .

Qing Sha’s smile was very rare . Unless one was on very good terms with Qing Shui, it would be very hard to see it .

Di Chen took Qing Sha’s hands and said with smile, “Hello, Sha`er . In the future, just treat me as one of you . If there’s anything that you find inconvenient to tell him, just tell me . If it’s something within my means, I’ll definitely help you . ”

“Madame is the best!” It was rare to see Qing Sha in such a good mood .

“Madame is really beautiful . Father’s expectations are really high . ” Qing Sha mumbled and said . However, everyone around could hear her .

“Alright, let’s all go in . It’s considered a small reunion today . You guys just rest, I’ll go cook . ” Qing Shui told all of them to go in .

“Excellent, excellent . You must cook more today . It’s been awhile since we’ve eaten your cooking . ”

…

Qing Shui was very fast . Di Chen had initially wanted to help him but was rejected . He told her to chat with them . This little work was still considered to be quite easy for him .

After a few polite exchanges and chatting, Qing Shui had enough to eat and he put down his bowl and chopsticks . The ladies had already finished eating . He asked, “How’s the Heaven Secrets Academy doing recently?”

“There doesn’t seem to be any changes on the appearance, but inside, there’s still some changes . ” The Eldest Princess smiled and said .

“Oh? What changes are there?” Qing Shui was very curious as well .

“The Saint Child Band has lost a lot of influence while the Lord Sect appears to be still managed by Tian Jianxian . However on the outside, it’s managed by Tian Jiange . ” the Eldest Princess looked at Qing Shui and said .

Qing Shui thought of how he had been surrounded by people when he left . Amongst those people, there were experts from these clans . They wanted to get rid of him, but didn’t expected that they would be the ones to lose their lives instead . He wondered what reaction these clans would have once they knew that he was back .

“How’s the Breezing Wind Veranda?” Qing Shui looked at the Eldest Princess and asked .

“The Breezing Wind Veranda is a lot stronger than before . Although there’s only about over 3,000 people, they are comparatively people who are more outstanding and has potential . They are also dependable people . ” At the mention of the Breezing Wind Veranda, the Eldest Princess sounded quite satisfied .

“Mmmm, not bad . Your cultivation has been improving at quite a fast rate as well . If Chen`er doesn’t wish to stay at the Lotus Sect, what do you think about getting her to come and help you?” Qing Shui smiled and said .

“You rascal, what are you trying to say? If Sister Chen wants to come, I’d rather give her the Breezing Wind Veranda . ” the Eldest Princess threw a complicated gaze at Qing Shui .

“Little rascal, there’s nothing more for you to do here . If I really were to come here, I’ll discuss it with Sunu . ” Di Chen took the Eldest Princess hand and said to Qing Shui .

Qing Shui smiled and took one of Di Chen’s and the Eldest Princess’ hands respectively . “Alright, alright, let’s talk it over nicely . Family members must be more broad-minded toward each other . ”

“Alright . Qing Shui, you must remember what I told you in the past . Let’s talk about something else . ” The Eldest Princess resumed her casual tone and said .

It was at this moment that Qing Shui realized that the relationship between himself and the Eldest Princess had returned to what it was like in the past . This made him feel very uncomfortable . Women’s heart really changed really fast . Was she jealous? Or…

Trust?

Qing Shui felt that the Eldest Princess had misunderstood what he meant . She must be feeling that the reason he brought Di Chen over was because he didn’t trust her . As he thought of this, he slapped his forehead . He was really an idiot . If he were in her shoes, he would probably feel the same .
If a person from his previous life were to have two or more women, the person wouldn’t dare to let the women meet each other . Although this wasn’t the case in this world, it was impossible for the women to be get along entirely . In fact, till now, Qing Shui wasn’t even sure if there were any barriers between his women .

“I’m sorry, I don’t have that intention . ”

Qing Sha, Yan Jinyu and the Seventh Princess had left . Qing Shui took Di Chen’s and the Eldest Princess hands and they sat down on the couch .

The Eldest Princess now knew that Qing Shui didn’t have that intention either . However, she didn’t know why she felt so aggrieved previously and her heart just sunk . She also realized that unknowingly, Qing Shui’s image in her heart had become so clear .

“There’s no need to apologize . I was the one who’s narrow-minded . ” The Eldest Princess sighed and said .

She didn’t know why she sighed either, but it made Qing Shui felt a little bad for the Eldest Princess .

“You aren’t being narrow-minded . I only hope that you don’t have such thinking . I’m not raising my guards against you . For your sake, I’d also be willing to fight with anyone, even if it’s at the risk of my life . Although it’s not worth dying for brute courage for the sake of women, I’m willing to do these for you guys . I don’t wish to see you guys feeling aggrieved . ” Qing Shui said seriously while his hands clenched tightly around theirs .

“Stop that . Why are you saying all those unlucky things . ” The Eldest Princess eventually let go off some of these emotions .

Di Chen sat at the side and looked at Qing Shui, as she smiled, but she didn’t say any word . However, her heart was very, very close to Qing Shui . He was really a rascal .

Qing Shui did feel a little embarrassed to be saying such things before the two of them . Thankfully, it wasn’t as mushy as he thought it would be . They said that habits were very scary . In his previous life, he would never say something like this . This was also a show of confidence or a type of training .

Many people knew that sweet nothings were just lies, but they were all willing to listen . Women were emotional creatures and men who were great with honeyed words would be able to get their hands on them completely .

It wasn’t that Qing Shui’s earlier words were all lies . It was just that sometimes, it was still very important to say things out . After all, understanding each other would be limited by just relying on guess and observations . Therefore, words and actions were still necessary to express things .

The two great beauties on each of his side had their respective merits . One of them exuded a celestial aura, as if she wasn’t a part of the moral world, while the other had an amazing dignified aura .

Not many people would be able to have a beauty in each of his arms .

Everytime he was in such a situation, Qing Shui felt that it was unrealistic . Although there were many different types of people, to have one was already a result of accumulated great karma . The two ladies next to him were both beauties who were hard to come by even in a 100 years . In the past, he was still worried about not being able to find a partner . After all, when he was young, he was a good-for-nothing but there was a mature soul living in his body .

If he had kept on being the good-for-nothing that he was, it would be very hard for him to find a partner in this world where people revered martial arts . After he was awakened to the ancient legacy, everything started to change . From an unknown good-for-nothing, from a small clan, everything had grown to what it was today . Looking back, it really feels a little unbelievable . It hadn’t been easy either .

It had been a battle over several decades in this world . If it was in his previous life, he would already have been a middle-aged man by now . Just the thought of it felt a little unrealistic .

This was a way of thinking from Qing Shui’s previous life . Moreover, he was the pillar in the Qing Clan and thus, would be more mature than the people of his age in this world . After all, in the current world, people at his age were still considered to be very young, even younger than those who were 20 years old in his previous life . Therefore, most people wouldn’t think too much . This was a tradition and was also a habit .

“Then you’ve forgiven me?” Qing Shui smiled and looked at the Eldest Princess .

“I’m of no relations to you at all . What does it matter if I forgive you or not?” The Eldest Princess smiled and said .

Qing Shui shook her hand and also blinked innocently as he looked at the Eldest Princess with a gaze that only she would understand . It didn’t take long for the Eldest Princess to feel uneasy and lowered her head .

“Chen`er knows about you too . And you can only be my woman in this life . It feels really bad to see you in the arms of another man . ” Qing Shui smiled and grabbed the hands of the ladies tightly .

“Don’t worry, even if I don’t go into your embrace, I won’t go into another man’s embrace . Are men’s possessiveness all so strong?” The Eldest Princess asked .

“This isn’t a matter of possessiveness . This is as if someone is attacking me and is wanting to cut off my arm . Do you think I’ll be willing to accept this?”

Eldest Princess: “…”

If she were to belong to another man, it would be as if his arm was cut off . Did he had to be that exaggerated . However, looking at his handsome and serious expression, she didn’t say anything .

…

“The two of you can continue to chat . I’ll make a trip to the Heaven Secrets Courtyard . ” Qing Shui said to Di Chen and the Eldest Princess .

The two ladies nodded . It was nothing as they got along quite well . After all, neither Di Chen or the Eldest Princess were aware of how many women Qing Shui had, but they knew that the numbers wasn’t small . Therefore, as they thought of this, the two ladies looked at each other feeling a little helpless .

It wasn’t that they hadn’t thought of such a situation before, but they hadn’t expected it to be like this .

Qing Shui entered the Heaven Secrets Courtyard directly . The old man in golden dragon robes and the old man in violet lion robes seemed to always be so free, as they drank tea and played chess . After they saw Qing Shui, they greeted him happily and got him to go over .

The old men kept the chess set and poured tea for Qing Shui . They were still boiling tea on the table .

“Sirs, let’s boil some tea of mine and see how it tastes like, shall we?”

Qing Shui took out tea and water from the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal . Although there was a lake in the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal, there was a small well in the middle of the realm . The water there was clearer, like that of spring water from the mountains . When he realized that, he had always drank water from there .

This well had appeared when the Realm of the Violet Jade Immortal upgraded . This should be the ‘lake’s eye’ . It must be the lake’s eye of the pond which had been transformed into a lake .

Although Qing Shui wasn’t good at making tea, his advantage was that the things he used were all very good . Therefore, very soon, the two old men could sense the Spiritual Qi in the tea . When they drank it, they were full of praises .

Qing Shui was really not a master at tea appreciation but he could at least tell if the tea was good or not .

The two old men had long been masters in the art of tea . After all, they had been drinking tea for several hundreds of years . It would be hard for them to not become experts in this area .

“That girl gives off the aura of one from the Lotus Sect . ” The golden dragon robed old man looked at Qing Shui and said with a smile .

“Yes, she’s Lotus Sect’s Holy Maiden and is also my wife . After the new year, I’ll bring her to the Lotus Sect and have a talk with their sect lord . What ridiculous regulations they have . To think that they don’t allow their disciples to get married . It’s really cruel of them . ”

“Haha, that crazy old woman would definitely fight it out with you . ” The golden dragon robed old man was stunned for a moment before he broke out laughing and said .

“Oh, do you know the Lotus Sect’s sect lord?”

“Of course I do . That old woman has been cheated of her feelings when she was young, but that guy has also been torn into pieces . It’s just that after that incident, the crazy old lady no longer trust men anymore . ”
