Hearing these words, Murong Wanwan finally dispelled the gloomy atmosphere in her heart, feeling much more comfortable. This little girl has some insight, after all! As the lady here, I won't stoop to your level, Little Tingting!

"Tingting, it's normal for girls your age to admire someone, but you don't need to treat me like an idol. It feels a bit strange. If you want to associate with me, we can become friends, or you can see me as an older brother. I wouldn't mind having such a cute little sister as you."

Ye Xuan said with a beaming smile. Since Wu Tingting is Xiao Wu's sister, Ye Xuan naturally treats her as a sister too!

Besides, he didn't have any thoughts about her to begin with. A little girl, just entering high school at this age, such a tender bud hasn't fully bloomed yet. Even if she was given to him, Ye Xuan probably wouldn't be tempted.

"Great, my brother is your little brother, so from now on, I'll treat you as my big brother!"

Wu Tingting thought for a moment, then nodded immediately and cheerfully called out to Ye Xuan, "Hello, Brother Ye Xuan."

"Hey? No, no, calling you Brother Ye Xuan is my thing. You need to find another title!"

Murong Wanwan objected, shaking her head like a rattle.

"Then... I'll call you Brother Ye!" Wu Tingting changed her wording.

"Okay, hello, Little Sister Tingting."

Ye Xuan replied with a grin.

"Brother Ye, don't call me Little Sister Tingting. It sounds awkward! Just call me Sister Ting. That's what my brother calls me too," Wu Tingting suggested.

"Alright, since you prefer that, I'll call you Sister Ting from now on."

Ye Xuan shrugged. It didn't matter what he called her; it was all the same to him.

At this moment, Lin Tong also came down the stairs, seeing the scene before her, her brain began to throb again!

How many sisters does this guy plan to adopt? There seem to be two more foster sisters waiting to get in, and now there's another one. Is he trying to fill up the harem?

Actually, Lin Tong really misunderstood Ye Xuan here. So far, Ye Xuan has only adopted two sisters, one of whom is Wei Xiaosu, and the other is Wu Tingting!

As for Murong Wanwan, her 'foster sister' status was completely fabricated at the time, and couldn't really be counted! And his intention to take Wu Tingting as a foster sister is quite pure—not at all like what Lin Tong thinks, purposely to fill the harem numbers.

"Ye Xuan, there's something else I need to tell you."

Lin Tong's heart was worried, unaware of Ye Xuan's thoughts. After coming down the stairs, she spoke to him.

"Honey, what's up?" Ye Xuan looked at Lin Tong in confusion.

Lin Tong said, "Your master left yesterday. Since you were cultivating, I didn't tell you. He said he had some matters to deal with, and he probably won't be back for a while."

As she spoke, she extracted a note from her words and handed it to Ye Xuan, saying, "This is the note he left behind, asking me to pass it on to you."

"Hmm? The old guy left?"

Ye Xuan was curious and took the note, quickly opening it. Written in delicate script with a fine wolf-hair brush was a line of vigorous small characters: "All things in the world, destined by the heavens, ghosts and phantoms are only flimsy as smoke. A fearless heart calms the spirit; a steadfast heart anchors the soul. All is beyond words."

What the heck? What's this supposed to mean? This old man is using classical language?! Doesn't he know I didn't even graduate elementary school? Ye Xuan was perplexed, muttering under his breath.

Just from the surface meaning, he could vaguely guess some of it, but since the old man left a note, there must be some indication. What exactly it indicated, Ye Xuan couldn't figure out!

The old guy didn't make things clear. Is he expecting me to guess? Geez! This old man is really unreliable! Ye Xuan inwardly criticized.

Putting away the note, Ye Xuan pondered for a moment and then asked Lin Tong, "Honey, besides leaving the note, did the master say anything when he left?"

Lin Tong thought for a moment and said, "He did say one thing: he told you not to worry too much. What's meant to come will return; what's meant to leave can't be kept. He said he's well and asked you not to be concerned."

"Pfft, who would worry about him? That old guy is really narcissistic!"

Ye Xuan pursed his lips, tucked the note into his pocket, and grumbled, "This old man talks big but leaves without giving me any clues. He said a bunch of nonsense but didn't bother checking my physical condition. What kind of master behaves like this? Absolutely no sense of responsibility! He probably ran off in a hurry to secretly meet his old flame..."

Initially, Ye Xuan hoped Chen Xuanba, being free labor, would thoroughly examine his body condition for him. Although he had already inspected himself carefully and found nothing suspicious, there could always be something he missed.

Especially considering the last time he was sucked into the mysterious black hole and had strange black substance on him, there might be potential threats buried deep within his body. Chen Xuanba's medical technique is superior to his, and maybe he could perform a more thorough check.

However, with the old man running off so hastily, Ye Xuan felt secretly frustrated. This idea was evidently unattainable.

Lin Tong glanced at him, reprimanding without much patience, "He's still your master, with his own things to do. Don't be so rude."

"Hehe, honey, I'm just joking since the old man isn't around and can't hear."

"Even if your master isn't here, you shouldn't speak ill of him behind his back; you should respect the elderly."

"Alright, alright, I get it!"

"By the way, Xiao Wu came looking for you this morning, seemed like he had something to discuss." Lin Tong suddenly remembered.

"Alright, I'll go to their place."

Ye Xuan nodded, greeted everyone, then turned around and walked out of the villa.

"Wait, Brother Ye, I'm going with you."

Murong Wanwan immediately called out and followed suit.

"Take me with you, I want to go too!"

Seeing this, Wu Tingting quickly followed.

The Wu family is located in Bishui Manor, not far from Ye Xuan's place. The three of them walked for about ten minutes before arriving at the central villa group of Bishui Manor where the Wu family is based.

"Brother Ye."

"Boss!"

Upon hearing Ye Xuan's arrival, the Wu family father and son immediately came out to greet him, waving as they called out.

"Uncle Wu, I heard you have something for me?" Ye Xuan strode up and asked directly.

"Haha, Xiao Ye, let's talk inside, please."

Wu Jindao laughed heartily, then made a gesture inviting him in, leading the way to the central villa as Ye Xuan and Xiao Wu followed closely behind.
