Daily life of slaying demons in the government

Chapter 618 Unexpected Discovery
Facing his wife's worry, Yang Qian smiled and hugged her, helped her sit down and said, "Although he is eight years old, he knows what is good and what is bad. Xiao Juanzi takes care of him day and night, how can he not like her? You don't want your child to be a heartless person, right?
Moreover, we didn’t give him any aristocratic education, so his thoughts are naturally simple. He likes whoever treats him well and doesn’t want to leave.”

"You can't be with a maid, right? And she's three years older than Shanwu!" Fang Yuan was obviously more sensitive about this matter. Her attitude was also very firm.

"There's no need to make such a big deal. Shanwu is only eight years old. How can he understand love affairs between men and women? Even if it's really as you think, so what? Just marry her. Even if she's a concubine, it's not a big deal.
What matters is not whether Shanwu can do this, but whether it is worth it."

"What do you mean?"

"Is that girl worth Shanwu's efforts? If she is, then give her a chance. It won't be a big deal for me. If she is not, then get rid of her as soon as possible. If she is stubborn, let her disappear reasonably."

Fang Yuan's anger disappeared when she heard Yang Qian coldly say the word "disappear". Instead, she was startled and said quickly, "My husband, don't do that! Even if the girl is not worth it, just drive her away. Don't be so scary, okay?"

Her husband knew it best. When it comes to cruelty, her husband is no less cruel. But Fang Yuan couldn't bear it. In her opinion, Xiao Juanzi was a good girl as long as she didn't stick to her son. But she didn't need to die.

"Anyway, Shanwu should be disciplined by you as his father. Whatever you say is the truth. If anything goes wrong in the future, you will be responsible for it! Humph! Let's see how you handle it!"

Fang Yuan pouted and leaned against Yang Qian's arms. Now that she was pregnant again, she was even more squeamish than the first time. She would lose her temper every day when she couldn't see Yang Qian. She needed Yang Qian to coax her.

The next day, the little girl named Xiao Juanzi knelt in front of Yang Qian. It was not Yang Qian who came to her, but she came to her on her own and said that she wanted to apologize.

What crime?

"I am a talkative maid. I shouldn't have said those things to the young master. I have no wishful thinking of receiving the prince's favor. Please send me somewhere else. I dare not delay the young master's practice! Please have mercy on me, my prince!"

Xiao Juanzi was terrified. She knew very well that she couldn't have anything to do with the prince of the palace because of her humble status. Once she got involved, it would be a life-or-death situation. The prince might be doing this for her own good, but what would the prince and princess think? How could her small body bear it?
So the terrified Xiao Juanzi begged the housekeeper to let her meet the prince and ask him to give her a way out. If things were delayed for too long, she would be the only one to suffer.

What a clever girl! Yang Qian thought to himself.

It's a pity that he is smart but lacks talent. Otherwise, he could be trained to be one of our own in the future.

"Don't be impatient, that child is not simple!"

Just as Yang Qian was about to speak, Yin Xiao in the prison suddenly spoke up and reminded Yang Qian.

Because he had to refine magic weapons, Yang Qian would always ask Yin Xiao for his opinion. After all, Yin Xiao was an experienced person in the Heavenly Tribulation, and his opinion was very important. Therefore, unless there was a special situation, Yang Qian would usually keep the Water Mirror Technique in the prison. So when Xiao Juanzi came in, Yin Xiao was sizing her up.

"Why is it not simple?"

"Talent. This girl has a spiritual aura between her eyebrows. She shouldn't have such a mediocre talent for cultivation. Send some energy into her meridians and see what's going on."

Upon hearing this, Yang Qian snapped his fingers and sent out a stream of mysterious energy, which entered Xiao Juanzi's meridians before she could react.

"Hmm? It's really weird. This girl's meridians are broad and flexible, and her muscles and bones are excellent, so why is her talent so mediocre? Or is there another explanation?"

"Tsk tsk tsk, of course there is an explanation! Have you heard of hidden talent? This kind of talent seems to have no talent, but in fact, the talent is too high and looks mediocre. It is an extremely rare situation. This girl should be a hidden talent. If you want to take in a disciple, she is definitely the best choice. If you want to take in a daughter-in-law, your boy is not worthy of her."

"Is it that exaggerated?"

"Tsk, compared to you, it's really nothing. But compared to your son, he is definitely much stronger. Your son's talent is just above average. If you hadn't laid the foundation for him since he was very young, he would never have such strength now.

But cultivation is about who can run farther, not who can run faster. Your son started early and seems to run very fast, but once he passes the fusion stage, he will not have enough stamina. Whether he can become an immortal depends on luck.

But this girl is different. With her level of cultivation, as long as she keeps up with the skills and resources and doesn’t die young, she will definitely be able to become an immortal in the future.”

"So powerful?!" Yang Qian, who had been nonchalant, now took it seriously.

Daughter-in-law? My son is only eight years old, how can I be so anxious to find a daughter-in-law? The "concubine" I mentioned to Fang Yuan before was just to shut her up. Such a young child, maybe he will see a lot when he grows up, how can he still remember a little maid?

But now it’s different. I’m sure I’ll become an immortal in the future. This is a bit scary.

Accepting a disciple? If it's really like Yin Xiao said, then it's not impossible.

However, Yang Qian wanted to test the quality of this girl first to see if she was as good as Yin Xiao boasted.

"Can you read?"

"I can read!" Xiao Juanzi kowtowed and responded. She was a little scared. She didn't understand why the prince suddenly asked this. Could it be that he was helping her find a new job that required literacy?
While Xiao Juanzi was thinking about it, a booklet suddenly floated in front of her.

Xiao Juanzi is no longer surprised by such magical methods. There are the most immortal masters in the palace, and the prince is a land immortal, so this method of controlling weapons is not too common.

"Take a look at what's on here, and then try to see how far you can go according to what's said. Let's get started now."

"Yes, Your Majesty!"

Xiao Juanzi picked up the booklet and began to read it carefully, not realizing what she was reading. Did it look like an account book? Or a picture? It was full of strange knowledge.

Fortunately, Xiao Juanzi felt that she could still understand it. As long as she understood the things at the beginning, the rest would be easy. She even got so into the book that she completely forgot about Yang Qian beside her.

"See, this girl is not simple, right? You showed her a magic circle joke right at the start, and you were deliberately trying to make things difficult for her, but what happened? Judging from her expression, this thing really can't stump her!"

"How could I make things difficult for her? If she doesn't have this much talent or brains, it would be a joke to say that she can definitely become an immortal."
