With this explanation, the old Daoist finally understood. He nodded in agreement, "Yes, exactly an experience baby. I went to such great lengths to prevent him from being killed by this Di Sha Thirty-Seven so quickly, partly for my own reputation. I am, after all, in the Freedom Realm, a whole realm higher than him. If he were to kill someone right in front of me, I'd have no face to see anyone."
"Also, it is indeed necessary to keep Thirty-Seven around to cause a bit of minor trouble for Lin Xiao, allowing Lin Xiao to grow on his own." The old Daoist revealed a reason Lin Xiao would never have expected.
"You, you worry too much," the Old Heavenly Master put down the tablet he was holding and stared at him. "Junior Brother, you've done so much, but he will not thank you."
Given Lin Xiao's personality, it was unlikely he would ever thank this old Daoist.
"Senior Brother, in my life, when have I ever sought thanks from anyone?" The old Daoist suddenly smiled. He leaned back in his chair and casually picked up the tea that the Old Heavenly Master had brewed for him.
Speaking of which, the Old Heavenly Master also picked up his teacup.
"Yes..."
...
Regarding the matters concerning the Shadow Assassins, it was not convenient for Lin Xiao to go directly to headquarters. Therefore, to ensure the safety of the mother and child, he had been staying in Shashi recently and, at the same time, had requested a puppet from Qi Tian.
He had been accompanying the mother and child in Shashi recently, concerned that Thirty-Seven might come to Shashi to target his family.
However, it now seemed that Thirty-Seven was likely quite injured at Qi Tian's place and had not yet come to Shashi.
It was worth mentioning that he recalled now that Xun'er and Luo Bing, the two little ones, were listed as untouchables within the Shadow Assassins.
Although he didn't understand why, it saved him considerable effort.
"Daddy! Where are we going to play today!"
Since the nationwide reopening, Shashi had seen an increase in entertainment options. Of course, with that came more people out to play. During holidays, the streets were packed, and every destination involved long queues.
This caused Lin Xiao a bit of a headache, as he wasn't someone who enjoyed crowded places.
However, when the child spoke, he tried his best to satisfy her.
"Let me think, the aquarium, the zoo, the botanical garden, the amusement park... we've been to all those... How about today, I take my darling to go ice skating?" Lin Xiao pondered for a moment, suddenly recalling the vast snowfields in Beijiang. Sometimes, during their downtime, they would use homemade sleds to go skiing.
Thinking about it, Xun'er had certainly never seen such a large snowfield. When he had time in the future, he would take Xun'er to Beijiang, allowing his brothers to get a good look at his little treasure and be intensely envious!
"Okay! Ice skating!"
Children are most fond of novel things and have no fear. Xun'er had never been ice skating before, so she was filled with anticipation.
"Alright, then let's go back and prepare properly. Oh, and let's call Mom too. Then, Dad will take Mom and you ice skating together." Lin Xiao said, letting Xun'er ride on his shoulder. He was in a good mood and unconsciously hummed a little tune.
"By the way, Daddy, I have a secret to tell you!"
Xun'er suddenly lowered her voice and said.
