Chapter 42 - Guide
“En en, delicious. It smells so good! Mommy, why do I feel my body heating up after eating this?”
The plate of unknown food was already in Lan Xuanyu’s stomach and this wasn’t much more than what he usually eats, but after eating, Lan Xuanyu felt quite full. Also, he felt nice and warm. He felt an inexplicable sense of comfort.
Nana then said, “Xuanyu, rest for half an hour and we’ll have to begin training. Teacher wants to teach you something new and let you experience the changes in your body. This is very important.”
“Sure!”
Little Xuanyu didn’t feel any huge difference in his body and he merely liked hanging out with Nana, so he gladly agreed.
Half an hour later, in the cultivation room.
Nana let Lan Xuanyu sit cross-legged in front of her and she sat cross-legged too.
“Xuanyu. I will let you feel the changes in your body later so you could see its condition. Your spirit is very unique and it may just be the Blue Silver Grass on the surface, but it is actually two different spirits intertwined. It’s known as Twin Spirits.”
“These two spirits are controlled by a single element and they are more inclined to your consciousness. One of them strengthens your body. Your silver patterned Blue Silver Grass and golden patterned Blue Silver Grass are both quite domineering and they would try to drive out one another just like two people in your body fighting at the second they see each other. Your body is their fighting ground and that’s the reason why you’re getting hurt. Can you understand it if I’ve put it this way?”
Lan Xuanyu looked at his hands and nodded, “Teacher, but why must they fight? Can’t they live together in harmony?”
Nana smiled. “Yes, we must make them live in harmony. So, the next thing I am going to teach you is how to make them not fight and obey you, so you could use them effectively. They are both hot-tempered so you must mediate their relationships every day, alright?”
“En en.”
“If you want them to listen to you, you must get to know them first. Close your eyes and take a look with me.” Lan Xuanyu shut his eyes and a warm aura appeared around his body. He felt so comfortable like he was soaking himself in warm water. Then, he saw a strange sight.
It was a golden and silver duo-colored vortex and it was spinning around his chest area. The strands were intertwined and it wasn’t spinning rapidly, but it was very stable.
“The golden and silver colors represent the two types of the Blue Silver Grass that you have. I have arranged them in an orderly manner inside your body and the force from the rotation prevents them from coming into contact with one another. But in the future, I really hope that they will be able to get along and resolve this issue. Hence, they would touch slightly at the base of the vortex, which is also its center. What you need to do is to keep the vortex spinning with enough force to maintain the equilibrium. I’ve been maintaining it for you and you’ll have to do it yourself next time. You’ll need to use your Spiritual Power when you do.”
Nana was very patient when she taught Lan Xuanyu; she explained a lot of things and guided him. It was obviously his own Spirit Power guiding these two types of energy and during the process of its guidance, she also started the process of harmonization.
The remainder of Lan Xuanyu’s semester break was very structured. He had to cultivate twice everyday, afternoon and night, and he would have some cultural lessons in the afternoon.
Nan Cheng and Lan Xiao reported back to work after their vacation and Nana was the one accompanying and teaching him daily.
After some time, Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng were not worried about Nana anymore. Nana’s life was too simple. She ate very little and other than teaching Lan Xuanyu, she was in her own room or looked out of the window in a daze.
During the weekends, when Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng brought Lan Xuanyu out to play, they would invite her too but she refused and stayed at home instead.
Lan Xuanyu’s relationship with Nana kept improving. Most kids didn’t like learning and cultivating; it was a dull process after all. After Nana came, Lan Xuanyu found that cultivating with her was especially delightful and enjoyable. Nana would always have ways to get his attention and she used various methods to teach him.
Cultivating became very enjoyable and the results were naturally better. Other than the slow increase of his Spirit Power, he had improved quite a bit in his other areas.
Nana would go out once everyday and she would end up bringing some high-grade food every time she returns. Lan Xiao and Nan Cheng didn’t have a clue from where she could have gotten it either. But since Nana was a Titled Douluo, they thought that it was perfectly normal for her to be able to get high-grade food items. It was for their son anyways and after Lan Xiao found out how precious it was, he didn’t bring the topic up anymore because they couldn’t afford it at all!
Just like that, Lan Xuanyu’s semester break came to an end. To him, this was definitely an enjoyable semester break. He went to the Heaven Dou Planet, he sat on a spacecraft and he even brought back such a wonderful home tutor.
“Teacher Nana, I will be going back to school, are you still going to teach me?” Lan Xuanyu hugged Nana’s thigh and looked up at her pitifully.
“Yes, I will wait for you at home.” Nana rubbed his head gently.
“Awesome. Teacher Nana, I like you so much. Carry me, carry me.”
Nana carried him up and Lan Xuanyu leaned over, planting a loud kiss on her cheek. Nana was slightly stunned and her eyes seemed to have melted as she rubbed her face against Lan Xuanyu’s cheek as a response.
“Xuanyu, we’ve got to leave or we’ll be late.” Lan Xiao turned his head and suppressed the jealousy in him, making sure that he didn’t show it. After all, with such a beautiful woman in the house, that attraction was simply hard to resist.
Thankfully, after his son goes back to school, he would have to set out to take part in the exploration.
Nana only returned to her room after she watched Lan Xuanyu leave. She closed her room’s door and sat cross-legged on the bed. With her eyes shut, she went into a silent state.
After the semester break, it is a child’s nature to actually look forward to school.
Lan Xuanyu got off the car and entered the school gate eagerly after he bid Lan Xiao farewell.
The teacher-in-charge of first grade class two, Qiu Yuxin, was waiting at the classroom door. She would wait there every morning and count the number of students who entered her class. She spotted Lan Xuanyu from afar and because of this child’s outstanding appearance, it was almost impossible for her not to take notice of him.
“Good morning, Teacher Qiu.” Lan Xuanyu went to her and bowed towards Qiu Yuxin respectfully.
Qiu Yuxin smiled. “Good morning, Xuanyu. Eh, I haven’t seen you during the break and you seem to have grown taller.”
“Really? Thank you, Teacher.” Lan Xuanyu smiled widely.
“Quickly, get in.” Qiu Yuxin couldn’t help but rub his head. This child was so handsome and does well in his studies, there wasn’t any teacher who wouldn’t like him.
Especially at the end of the last term, he also won Ye Lingtong, who was known to be the most talented student of this batch. He had truly made her proud so Qiu Yuxin naturally liked him.
“Lan Xuanyu!” Just at this very moment, a familiar voice resounded in his ear.
Lan Xuanyu turned around and saw that in the classroom’s opposite side, which belonged to the first-grade class one, Ye Lingtong was sticking her head out to wave at him.
“What?” Lan Xuanyu asked unwillingly.
Ye Lingtong then said, “Come over, I want to tell you something.”
