Surge of Cultivation

"Thank me for what!" In the future, you and Autumn Leaf are going to be studying at the same True Martial University. I also want to ask you to supervise her a little more in my stead.

"..."

… ….

After staying at Qiu Zhan's house until three or four in the afternoon, Ye Qingdi handed over the information he had brought along as well as the required tuition fees to Qiu Zhan and entrusted him with the matters regarding the entrance to the academy. Then, he casually found an excuse to leave Xiangshan villa.

The setting sun at the beginning of autumn was no longer as scorching as it was in the middle of summer. It was abnormally warm and comfortable to the touch, making one want to lie down and squint their eyes for a moment to rest.

With this thought in mind, Ye Qingdi quickly returned to his rented courtyard. He prepared to pour a cup of hot tea, and then moved the deck chair he specially bought to the grape arbour in the courtyard. He sat there and slowly sipped.

However, when he pushed open the gate of the courtyard, he discovered that the area under the grape arbor had already been occupied.

Tong Yan laid leisurely on the bamboo chair in her home with a book in her hands. Her hair was loose, and soft black silk was piled on the back of the bamboo chair. A few strands of it flowed through the gaps in the bamboo chair, fluttering in the breeze, like a mischievous little black elf.

Tong Yan was reading a beautiful romance novel with a cover. Although this kind of novel was a clichéd novel with lousy plots, it had always been popular among the young men and women of the Federation. Even Yu Xiaoxiao was a loyal reader of this kind of novel.

The girls at this age were curious about love and full of fantasies about their first love when their love was just starting. Ye Qingdi thought that in her heart, there must be a beautiful story about Cinderella and Prince Charming that she had invented, right?

When Ye Qingdi walked into the courtyard, Tong Yan also saw him. A happy expression immediately appeared on her delicate face. She placed the book between her legs and waved at Ye Qingdi, revealing a sweet smile and calling out "Qingdi gege" in a crisp voice.

The sunlight penetrated through the leaves of the grape arbor, turning into many dots of colorful light that reflected on Tong Yan's pure and cute face. It immediately made one think of the word "beautiful flower".

"Good little sister, where are you reading?" When Ye Qingdi saw Tong Yan, his mood immediately turned exceptionally good. He walked over and asked with a smile.

"A novel …"

"It's sentimental, right? "What's your name?"

"'Beautiful Landlady Marshal Tenant'."

"..."

Emperor Ye Qing was startled, then laughed dryly: "This title …. It sounds interesting, but the content must be very interesting, right? "

"I just started reading it too. The beginning is indeed very attractive. Looking at the introduction of this book, it was about a rich young master who had escaped the marriage. In order to not get caught by his family, he temporarily rented a place in the house of a commoner young girl. Later on, many interesting stories happened, and the rich young master and the commoner young girl had a crush on each other and fell in love. However, due to their sect's prejudice and many other reasons, their emotions had experienced all sorts of ups and downs. In the end, will they be able to break free and hold hands for the rest of their lives … "

While Tong Yan was introducing the contents of the novel with interest, Ye Qingdi could not help but let his imagination run wild, "Tong Yan is a beautiful little landlady, and I, as a tenant, am also very handsome, am I not? This little beauty doesn't read other books, yet she reads this kind of book... What does she mean, trying to hint at me through this book? This won't do, little girl. I'm almost eighteen, you're not even fifteen yet, and I'm going to make a move on you … "It will make me feel very evil …"

"Brother Emperor Qing …" Brother... Hey, what's the matter with you? "What are you thinking about?" When Tong Yan saw that Ye Qingdi had suddenly gone into a daze, she waved the novel in her hand in front of him and shouted.

"Ah?" Oh... "This..." Ye Qingdi stopped messing around and laughed dryly a few times. His gaze landed on the cover of the novel in Tong Yan's hand. He rubbed his chin with a thoughtful expression on his face, "I was thinking just now …. Is the novel you are reading a tragedy or a comedy? I hate novels that end in tragedy! "

Tong Yan nodded in agreement, "Me too. I like to see a happy ending. I hope this novel will have a good ending, or else it will make me cry again."

"Alright, you can continue reading. I'll go back to my room and lie down for a while. After you finish reading this book, remember to tell me the result. Forget about the tragedy! " As Ye Qingdi spoke, he reached out his hand to pat Tong Yan's head out of habit and then went into his room.

At dusk, a man in traditional red tang suit pushed open the gate of the courtyard and swaggered in.

The man was in his late forties, short and stout, his hair neatly combed back, his eyes small and lively, the tip of his nose red like a circus clown, an old black leather bag under his right armpit. He walked shaking his head, humming some unknown tune in his nose.

When the chunky man passed by Emperor Ye Qing's room, he saw that the door was ajar. He stuck his head in and peeked inside, then frowned and stood in the yard as he shouted, "Little Yan! "Little Yan!"

Hearing his shout, Tong Yan who was in her room immediately ran out and said happily, "Father, you're finally back! I've already prepared dinner, and am waiting for you to come back to eat with me! "

After hearing the sounds in the yard, he carried the bowl of noodles to the window. When he saw the appearance of Tong Yan's father, he could not help but sigh emotionally in his heart, "I never thought that such a rare beauty like Tong Yan's father would be a wretched uncle! Needless to say, Tong Yan's mom is definitely a great beauty, and Tong Yan definitely inherited one hundred percent of her mom's genes. "

Ye Qingdi had heard from Tong Yan that her father was called Tong Liao and seemed to work in some foundation. He had been busy all year round in the federation and would only be able to go home once every three to five days. Her mother, Jiang Ling, was a principal physician at the 3rd Hospital of the Chinese City. Because of her business, she often worked overtime, so she had to stay at home alone at such a young age.

The first time he heard the name "Tong Lion", Ye Qingdi guessed that Tong Yan's father was a tall and mighty handsome man. However, when Tong Lion appeared in front of him, Ye Qingdi was greatly taken aback.

When Tong Shi saw his daughter coming out, he revealed a loving smile. However, his face soon turned stern. He pointed to the door of the room that Ye Qingdi had left ajar and asked, "Xiao Yan, did you rent out this room?"

"Yes."

"When?"

"Yesterday afternoon."

"What are tenants? Have you asked? Our house can't be rented out to those random people! "" No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, no...

"Dad, I'm not some random person. I'm a student of the number one True Martial University in the Central City!"

"A student of the True Martial University?" Tong Shi took another glance at Ye Qingdi's room and nodded, "That's more like it. If it's a delinquent, I wouldn't be able to trust him to stay in our house." By the way, did you collect the rent? "

"Got it."

"It was paid in one go, wasn't it? A year's payment? "

"Yes."

"Where's the money?" "Leave it to me."

Tong Yan quickly glanced at Ye Qingdi's room, then timidly lowered her head, like a child who had made a mistake, and mumbled, "Daddy, after I took his rent, I always carried it with me. When I went to the market to buy vegetables in the morning … Throw … "It's gone …"

"What?" Lost? That's five thousand yuan in rent, you say? You. You little prodigal girl! You. You're pissing me off! Well, don't think about buying any more clothes in the future! "Don't you dare ask for anything good to eat!"

Tong Shi stomped his feet furiously, his eyes almost popping out. He looked very frightening, but it seemed like Tong Yan was already used to her father's temper. She lowered her head without a single trace of fear on her face.

When Tong Shi was almost done venting his anger, only the sound of panting could be heard. Tong Yan then pouted her petal-like lips and said softly, "Dad, don't be so angry, I said you lost the money …" "Actually, I didn't lose everything. I only have two thousand yuan left …"

Tong Shi was startled, but his face turned a bit better. He rolled his eyes and said snappily, "We only set a rent of 5,000 yuan for one room, compared to other places, this is already cheap. He even lost three thousand! In order to punish you, I will now officially announce that you will not have a single cent of your pocket money for the next half of the year! Here, give me the remaining two thousand yuan! "Hmph, money is still the safest on me!"

Tong Yan didn't refute him and obediently took out a roll of money from her pocket and handed it to her father.

Tong Shi took the money and carefully counted it. Then, he stuffed the two thousand yuan into his black leather bag and sternly said, "Remember Little Yan, if you receive any rent from us in the future, you must leave it at home. Don't bring it with you when you go out to play. There are Thieves and Raiders everywhere outside, how can you, a girl without any abilities, guard against them? Do you remember? "

Tong Yan nodded her head obediently. With a glance, she discovered that Ye Qingdi was standing in front of the door looking at her, so she secretly winked at him and made a face. Then, she pulled her father's hand and entered her own room.

"It seems that my father thought she had charged me 5,000 yuan in rent. But why didn't Tong Yan say that she had already given me a discount on the rent and didn't mention the IOU? What lost three thousand yuan? I only gave her 2,000 yuan! "This little girl just winked at me. I don't know what she's doing …" Ye Qingdi looked at the slender back of the girl and thought about their conversation. He scratched his head in confusion.

After dinner, Ye Qingdi tidied up the room and carried the bag of trash to the courtyard to throw it away. When he turned around to return, he saw that Tong Yan had also walked out.

Ye Qingdi stepped forward and asked in a low voice, "Tong Yan, is that person really your father?"

Tong Yan nodded, pursed her lips and smiled, "That's right, my father is fierce, right? However, he only dared to throw a tantrum at me. In front of my mother, he was as gentle as a little sheep. As a matter of fact, if you knew my dad better, you'd know he was a nice, caring guy. The foundation that my father worked for was specifically to help poor citizens of the Federation … "

"To be able to give birth to such a kind and cute daughter, your parents are naturally good people as well." Ye Qingdi moved closer to her and lowered his voice a little, "I heard everything you said to your father just now. "Why are you …"

"Shh..."
