The tense atmosphere instantly dissipated with the cry of "Dad".
The old man no longer looked on guard at Yu Shanhe, but his face was still full of disapproval.
"What kind of father are you? Letting the kid run around on her own and not even feeding her. Are you really her biological father?"
The suspicion doubled.
The old man reasonably suspected that such a beautiful and lovely little girl might have been stolen by this man.
Mr. Yu, who was regarded as a child - stealer: So guilty that he couldn't even refute...
While being condemned by his conscience, he felt heartache for his little girl.
Even the questioning from a stranger made him feel extremely guilty.
"Sorry, I don't know how this kid ran out. It should be that the nanny at home didn't watch her properly. I'm really sorry for causing you trouble."
"Humph, pay more attention next time. No matter how busy you are, you can't neglect your child. It's a good thing she met me. If it were someone else and they saw such a good - looking little girl and had evil intentions, you'd have nowhere to cry."
Chu Dacheng glanced at him, gave one last piece of advice, then turned to Niannian, who was lying in Yu Shanhe's arms, and said, "Go on, go home with your dad. Don't run out and play alone next time."
"Okay, Niannian never runs around."
Niannian nodded her little head vigorously, looking like she had listened to her uncle and would surely follow his advice.
Looking for food was a serious matter.
It didn't count as running out casually.
Yes! That's right!
Chu Dacheng had no idea what was going on in the little bun's mind. Seeing that she seemed to have taken his words to heart, he took out two pieces of chocolate from his bag and handed them to the little girl.
"Go on, go back."
Yu Shanhe thanked him profusely, then turned around with the child in his arms and walked towards the car.
Niannian lay in her father's arms, her little head resting on his shoulder. Her chubby little hands waved back and forth as she smiled and said goodbye to the old man.
Just then, she saw a young man suddenly walk up to the fortune - telling stall that had been previously unnoticed.
Niannian stopped waving her little hand, tilted her head and thought for a while, then whispered to her father, "Dad, put me down. I have something to give to the old man."
Yu Shanhe looked back at Chu Dacheng and didn't object.
He put the little girl on the ground, and watched as she toddled over on her short legs.
She said a few words to Chu Dacheng, then took out a piece of yellow paper, placed it on the square table, and ran back.
Yu Shanhe didn't think much of it. His daughter's way of showing gratitude was to take out and give talismans.
He had seen it before and it wasn't surprising.
In the shadows, looking at the backs of the big and the small as they walked away, Taoist Qingyun let out another long sigh.
Liu Chuchen gritted his teeth so hard that he finally couldn't hold back and asked again, "I really don't understand, Master. Why do you have to send Niannian to the Yu family? Their family is going to have a blood - related disaster. Either you or senior brother could easily solve it. Why do you have to send Niannian?"
"They share the same origin and bloodline. What she brings can only be resolved by her. They rise and fall together. If something happens to the Yu family, Niannian won't be able to bear the consequences. Alas... Everything is predestined..."
Liu Chuchen was shocked. He always felt that his master must be hiding a lot of things.
"What do you mean by what the junior sister brings? Didn't you and senior brother calculate that junior sister has an extremely good fate? And you said that the Yu family will have a disaster that could wipe out the whole family. With junior sister's good fate, how could she possibly bring disaster?"
"Something's not right! Old geezer, explain clearly. What do you mean by they rise and fall together? Even for biological parents, apart from blood relations, there's not such a deep karmic bond!"
Wow.
The form of address was downgraded again. It wasn't even "you" anymore. It was directly "old geezer".
Taoist Qingyun gave his disciple a disdainful look, proudly raised his chin and snorted.
"I told you to read more and practice more often, but you didn't listen. If you're not talented, you should work harder. But you didn't even bother to work hard. You just wanted to play tricks all day long. Now look, you don't understand anything. If you're so capable, calculate it yourself. Don't bother me."
Liu Chuchen almost choked to death with anger.
He wanted to refute, but he had no words.
He was indeed the weakest one in the whole Taoist temple.
Not even half as good as the junior sister.
He used to be lazy because he knew he wasn't talented and could only rely on hard work.
It was no use regretting now.
Taoist magic wasn't something that could be achieved overnight.
"I don't care. If you don't explain clearly today, you're not going anywhere."
"Adults' business is none of kids' business. Are high - school students like you so free? Don't you need to go to school? Don't you need to take the college entrance examination? Get out of the way. A disciple trying to boss his master around. As if you could stop me."
Taoist Qingyun's words were so heart - stabbing that he refused to reveal a single bit of information no matter what.
Liu Chuchen wasn't discouraged. He chased after his master and kept asking.
In the end, Taoist Qingyun used a teleportation talisman and disappeared directly.
Liu Chuchen was left alone in the park, feeling bewildered in the wind.
"Old geezer! You wait for me! When I get back, I'll blow up the Taoist temple!"
The little girl had no idea about the argument in the park.
She was sitting in the car at the moment, swinging her little feet. She had a bottle of AD calcium milk in her left hand and was gnawing on a big chicken leg with her right.
All these were bought for her by her father just now on the way.
Hey, it was really delicious.
Yu Shanhe was sitting beside his little girl, watching her eat. From time to time, he would pick up a tissue and wipe her mouth. His face was full of a father's love and doting.
After the little girl finished eating and let out a burp, Yu Shanhe wanted to find a topic to chat with his daughter. He casually asked, "Niannian, was the thing you gave to that old man just now a peace talisman?"
"No."
Niannian shook her head and continued, "That's a communication talisman. It can be used for long - distance communication."
"Like a phone?"
Yu Shanhe suddenly understood. It was the first time he had heard of such a talisman and he found it very amazing.
"No. The communication talisman is a one - time thing."
"So it's a one - time phone. But why do you want to contact the old man, Niannian?"
"To make it convenient for the old man to contact me and discuss Taoist magic with me anytime. That old man is really amazing!"
Niannian's eyes sparkled and she looked very excited.
Just as they were about to leave, she saw that the young man walking towards the old man was carrying a very fierce ghost on his back.
The young man was almost drained of his yang energy and looked like he didn't have much time left.
She guessed that he should be going to the old man to solve this problem.
She was a bit interested in that ghost, so she gave the old man a communication talisman, hoping that the old man could communicate with her and teach her some experience when dealing with the ghost.
And the old man had agreed!
"Hmm? Did Niannian see that he's amazing?"
"Yes, super amazing! But not as amazing as Master."
"Yes, our Niannian's master is the most amazing."
Yu Shanhe smiled and rubbed his little girl's head, but he was thinking about other things in his mind.
Communication talisman...
It was time to get his little girl a phone or a children's smartwatch.
Otherwise, if something like this happened again, he wouldn't know where to find her.
And there was also the person who didn't answer his call today.
The nanny at home...
Some people, seeing that he was usually so easy - going, dared to bully his daughter.
