Guarding the River of Time

Chapter 150: I've Met Many Geniuses But They All Call Me a Genius


Ran Qingqing looked at the girl sitting on the swing and was instantly captivated.

She was wearing a very simple and clean white dress, and her small face was like the most exquisite piece of art in the world, with just the right amount of both reality and enchantment.

Every feature was perfectly balanced, with long eyelashes and beautiful eyes resembling the brightest lakes in the night sky, or two full moons reflected in the Spiritual Pool, brimming with endless vivacity and Immortal Energy.

The dots of firefly light in the Ancient Forest decorated her surroundings, and the beautiful Spirit Butterflies clustered around her, making her seem like a fairy from a dream, fallen from the sky.

Her big, lively eyes were gleaming, scanning over her.

Despite having a heart that had long been calm and unwavering, Ran Qingqing felt a bit flustered at this moment upon meeting this gaze.

In these eyes, she saw an unparalleled aura of intelligence and charm in the young girl.

Moreover, now she noticed that the girl was only three years old and already at Mahayana Perfection!

She was not unfamiliar with the word "genius."

Having met many geniuses who all called her a genius,

seeing this little master, she finally understood what a true genius was.

All the words like "genius" and "prodigy" felt inadequate when used on the little master.

Furthermore, the little master's Mahayana cultivation had instantly detected her hidden position, which was what shocked her the most.

However, upon thinking carefully, it seemed only such a person could be worthy of becoming the little master of the Three Venerables, and she shouldn't be judged with the eyes used for ordinary Cultivators.

.....

"Subordinate Ran Qingqing, at your service, little master."

Ran Qingqing said respectfully, clasping her fists toward the girl on the swing.

Upon hearing this, the clever Little Nannan instantly guessed what was going on: "Are First Brother and Third Brother that busy?"

After those words, Ran Qingqing responded: "The Great Venerable and Third Venerable have some urgent matters to attend to recently. During this time... I'll accompany the little master."

Conversing with the little master, Ran Qingqing sensed her extraordinary maturity; calling her simple would be true, as she marveled at fireflies and butterflies with wide eyes, yet beneath her simplicity lay a calmness and poise, qualities innate to her.

...

"Sister Ran, I want to eat something called... candied hawthorn, can you take me to eat it?"

Little Nannan asked Ran Qingqing.

Little Nannan had read in a book called "The Complete Guide to Folk Snacks" about something called "candied hawthorn," and she had always wanted to try it.

Being called "Sister Ran" left Ran Qingqing somewhat at a loss.

She smiled and said, "Little master, you can call me Xiao Qing from now on."

She truly felt unworthy of the "Sister Ran" title.

Little Nannan waved her small hand and said, "Sister Ran, my name is Nannan. Just call me Nannan from now on, don't call me little master."

Upon hearing this, Ran Qingqing felt a bit troubled, unsure whether she should use such a familiar address, but the Three Venerables instructed her to just make the little master happy.

She decided not to dwell on the title as long as the little master was happy.

"Sister Ran... is this 'candied hawthorn' very rare?"

Little Nannan, seeing the troubled look on Ran Qingqing's face, tilted her head and asked.

"No."

"I'll take you to it."

Ran Qingqing, coming to her senses, said with a smile.

"Sister Ran, your smile is very pretty. You should smile more often; it would look even better."

Little Nannan's words left the usually composed Ran Qingqing momentarily stunned, a quick and barely noticeable blush flashing across her face.

Many people had praised her before, but the little master's unabashed compliment was the most special, leaving her a little surprised and with a strange happiness in her heart, which also instantly closed the distance between them.

It must be said that Nannan's emotional intelligence was extremely high, breaking through the invisible barrier in just a few sentences.

.....

"Big Brother, Big Brother!"

"Did something big happen?!"

The third brother hurriedly sought out the eldest, his expression very anxious.

Seeing the third brother like this frightened the eldest greatly, asking, "What happened?! Did something happen to the little master?"

In his eyes, the invasion of the Great Woe Immortal Realm or even the sky falling was a minor issue; the little master's situation would be the ultimate crisis.

"The little master wants to eat candied hawthorn."

The third brother said.

"Candied hawthorn?"

"What is that?"

"Is it a treasure?"

"What level of treasure is it? Can't you procure it?"

The eldest's true form was not human; he was raised among the Dragon Race and hadn't interacted with human commoners growing up, so he had no idea what candied hawthorn was, thinking it was some rare treasure.

"It's not a treasure, just a food, a... folk snack you might find in a mortal's street market."

The third brother, being different, was born human and had been the Heavenly Dao of the Lower Realm World, so he knew exactly what candied hawthorn was.

"Huh?"

"This small thing, you made it seem urgent, you scared me to death!"

"Go get it, can't you?"

The eldest said to the third brother through gritted teeth.

"Big Brother, you forgot... we're in the Immortal Domain, and moreover, it's an Upper-Rank Immortal Realm."

"Where are there any mortals? Where are there any mortal towns or streets?"

"This thing, you can find them anywhere in the Lower Realm World, but not in this Immortal Domain."

The third brother said with a difficult expression.

"Candied hawthorn."

"What does it look like?"

The eldest asked, frowning.

After speaking, the third brother waved his hand, and an illustration of candied hawthorn appeared in front of him.

The next second, the eldest waved his hand, and an identical candied hawthorn appeared, saying, "Are you stupid? Can't you just create it directly?"

"I know, but... I don't know if the taste created would be exactly the same as the original."

"And this is the first time the little master has actively asked to eat this, we can't casually make something up, right?"

The third brother initially planned to directly use a spell to conjure one, but he realized it wouldn't be right; they needed an authentic one made in the mortal world.

"Check how many lower mortal worlds are closest to our Taishang?"

After speaking, the third brother pulled a Compass from his sleeve, and after a simple calculation, he said, "The nearest Immortal Domain is the Cyan Origin Immortal Realm, it's one of the territories under us."

"The lower mortal world governed by the Cyan Origin Immortal Realm should be the closest to us."

Upon hearing this, the eldest slowly said, "Who's the Domain Master of the Cyan Origin Immortal Realm now?"

After thinking for a moment, the third brother replied, "It's Xiao Sheng."

"Have that kid come to see us at the fastest speed, not a moment of delay!"

After the eldest said this.

The third brother used the Compass to send a Supreme order to the Cyan Origin Immortal Realm.
