At this moment, when he looked at the cute little child in front of him, his eyes were filled with disbelief and uncontrollable fear. This sudden change caught everyone present by surprise. Wait, where did that arrogant attitude go? He didn’t even touch the person, and yet he screamed so loudly. Wasn’t that all just an act? Especially Gu Xingjun, whose face was exceptionally dark. He angrily urged, “Master, why don’t you take action?” The old Taoist priest was about to curse. Was he not planning to take action? Just now, his strike felt like it hit a steel plate. This bizarre scene made him raise his guard against the little girl in front of him to the highest level, and for a moment, he dared not act. Yao Yao saw that no one dared to approach for a long time. She grinned, revealing a pair of little tiger teeth, and in a soft, childish voice said, “Old grandpa, since you won’t act, then Yao Yao will strike back!” She hated this Taoist priest, not only because he targeted her but also because he was cruel to her grandmother and, along with her uncle, bullied her mother. For bad people, Yao Yao always had one attitude: defeat them. Hearing her words, the old Taoist's pupils suddenly shrank. He endured the severe pain in his hand, activated his magical powers, and set up a shield, while also activating several golden talismans. But before he could relax, he saw a small fist heading straight for his face. His defenses shattered like paper, not blocking even a single hit. The people in the hall heard a "thud" sound, and the old Taoist was sent flying several meters away like a sandbag. He didn’t even have time to scream before Yao Yao leapt up again. Her small fists rained down like raindrops, each punch landing on his head. The crowd watched with wide eyes, fearing that he might be beaten to death right there. Yao Yao didn’t know what they were thinking, but if she did, she would explain: those from the Taoist sect cultivate spiritual energy, and the higher their cultivation, the stronger their physical bodies. In other words, the better they can endure being hit. Furthermore, although Yao Yao seemed to be hitting hard, each punch carefully avoided the Taoist’s vital organs, targeting only the thicker parts of his body. She also conveniently placed a silencing talisman on him to prevent him from shouting. Fifteen minutes later, Yao Yao finished her work perfectly. She even used her smartwatch to call her third brother and cheerfully said: “Third brother, there’s an old grandpa at home who’s trying to hurt a child.” “Yao Yao has already subdued him. You can come pick him up now.” The big brother and little sister didn’t even hide it, talking so casually that everyone else in the room felt speechless and awkward. After Yao Yao hung up the phone, she turned around and saw her grandparents and mother looking at her strangely. She couldn’t help but ask, “What’s wrong? Is there something on my face?” There was nothing on her face. The old Taoist had served as a cushion the whole time, cleaning the entire hall; Yao Yao hadn’t gotten a speck of dust on her. Mrs. Gu, the grandmother, was the first to come back to her senses. Her eyes shot toward Gu Xingjun, and in a cold voice, she said, “This is how you treat your elders? You bribe outsiders to deal with the younger generation and even use underhanded tactics like sneak attacks?” She saw clearly that the old Taoist had been prepared to kill. If her granddaughter hadn’t been so powerful, his life could have been in danger. “Qing Kai’s life is precious, just like others’. You are not welcome at the third family’s house anymore.” At this moment, Mrs. Gu couldn’t tolerate her eldest son anymore. Gu Xingjun opened his mouth as if to say something, but when he saw his father staring at him coldly, any words of defense were swallowed back down. He walked dejectedly toward the door, because he knew, there would be no more chances for him. That old Taoist had been the strongest he could hire, and even he was no match for the third family’s little girl. He had no chance of reclaiming the spirit soul. Mrs. Gu watched her eldest son’s humped back and couldn’t help but sigh. “This is fate!” She knew her eldest son was heartbroken over his grandson, but he couldn’t be doing harm to others. Harming others would also harm oneself; retribution would come eventually. After such a disturbance, Mrs. Gu’s mood was extremely poor. “Yao Yao, Grandma is tired. I’m going to rest now, you go ahead and play.” She forced a smile as she patted her little granddaughter’s head. Then she walked toward the room, and Grandpa Gu naturally followed her. For a moment, the hall was left with just Yao Yao and Chen Hui. At this moment, Chen Hui thought of the well-behaved child Qing Kai. With Gu Xingjun’s impatient attitude, it was clear that the child couldn’t last much longer. Yao Yao didn’t understand why her mother and grandmother were sad. Was it just because her uncle’s family’s child was about to die? But he clearly had a child’s fate, didn’t he? They came to the mortal world to go through tribulations, and only when the mortal body dies can they return to the heavens. This was something that almost every child-like celestial being wanted before coming to the mortal world. They all hoped to return early. Shouldn’t that be something to be happy about? Yao Yao didn’t want her mother to be sad, so she took the initiative to talk about her uncle’s child’s fate. After learning the situation, Chen Hui looked at her in disbelief. She trembled as she asked, “Yao Yao, are you really not making this up to comfort your mom?” If it were true, as her daughter said, that Qing Kai was a celestial being sent to the mortal world to undergo tribulations, then returning to the heavens was his wish. It wouldn’t be cruel at all for the child. “Yao Yao didn’t lie to Mom. Yao Yao promises.” Seeing her mother still uncertain, Yao Yao quickly raised her little hand to promise. If it weren’t for her uncle’s child being a celestial being, her older brother’s soul would have already merged with someone else. Once merged, the child’s celestial fate would be broken. Even if he died, he could never return to the heavens. For celestial beings sent to the mortal world, this would be the greatest calamity. Therefore, the souls of such children were very special. They lacked a spirit soul and also rejected foreign souls. This was the self-protection mechanism hidden in the celestial awareness within their souls. However, their mortal parents sometimes resorted to underhanded means, using evil methods to fill in the spirit soul. Their mortal parents thought they were doing it for the child’s good. But in reality, the celestial children who died and learned the truth were all extremely angry. After all, in order to enter the heavens, mortals must cultivate to the Immortal level and endure the tribulation of the heavens. A single misstep would lead to death. But they were born in the celestial realm, immortal and eternal. How fortunate was that? Yet, their mortal parents, under the pretense of doing good, had ruined their chance to return, causing them to never go back. How could they not be angry? “Okay, okay, then I’ll go tell your grandmother this good news.” At this moment, Chen Hui’s sorrow faded. She could see that although her mother-in-law was trying to hide her emotions, it was clear that it was painful for her. After all, her grandson was about to die. But if she knew that Qing Kai was going to become an immortal after he left, then it wouldn’t be something to be sad about. In fact, it would be a blessing for the Gu family, being able to have a celestial child reincarnate. This was truly a sign of the Gu family’s good fortune!
