Tang Zhongqian said with a smile.
"Can I always be ?" Wang Yue extended a single hand making a scissors gesture: "I think I'm very cute now."
Upon hearing Wang Yue's words, Tang Zhongqian, Mrs. Tang, Yang Tian, and Huang all laughed.
Even Wang Ying couldn't help but chuckle.
No can do, this loli is just too adorable.
"Little girl, if you want to become the Saintess of the Talisman Realm, you'll have to get involved with my grandson, so you need to grow up!"
Tang Zhongqian said with a smile.
"Whoa whoa whoa, I have to get involved with big brother? I'll have to call in my sister to teach me on the spot..."
As soon as Wang Yue spoke, the hall burst into laughter.
At that moment, a young girl hurried in from outside, looking intently at Tang Zhongqian as she anxiously said, "Master, my Spirit Pearl is missing."
Instantly, everyone in the hall focused on this young girl.
Jet-black hair, big eyes, a delicate nose, bright red lips, and a graceful chin.
This young girl was a beauty.
Yang Tian was puzzled—could she be Tang Zhongqian's disciple?
Upon seeing this girl, Tang Zhongqian's expression became serious.
"Lan Qing, upon meeting the madam, you must immediately kneel!"
Mrs. Tang sternly commanded.
The young girl hurriedly dropped to her knees, respectfully bowed, and then nervously said, "Master, the Spirit Pearl you gave me, I can't find it."
"Of course, you can't find it. I've given it to someone else—she's the one I've chosen as my granddaughter-in-law!"
Tang Zhongqian said casually.
"Huh?" The girl's face turned pale. She looked towards Wang Ying and Wang Yue, soon noticing the Spirit Pearl in Wang Yue's hand. She panicked: "Master, you gave her the Spirit Pearl? That Spirit Pearl symbolizes the Saintess of the Talisman Realm, didn't you say you would give it to me, that you were grooming me to be your successor?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Tian understood the girl's identity.
"I'm grandma's granddaughter-in-law. This Spirit Pearl belongs to me!"
Wang Yue declared arrogantly.
Lan Qing wanted to step forward but was stopped by Mrs. Tang's stern voice: "Stay kneeling, do not move. This is the madam's decision. As her disciple, you must comply with her arrangements!"
Lan Qing instinctively looked at Tang Zhongqian.
Tang Zhongqian's expression was somewhat cold: "Lan Qing, you've performed well and are indeed worthy of inheriting my position, but Yang Tian is my grandson. Naturally, I have to consider him. I've given the Spirit Pearl to the little girl intending to match her with my grandson. You must have no objections, that will be all!"
Lan Qing wanted to say something more, but was interrupted by Mrs. Tang: "Don't you understand the madam's intentions yet? Now leave immediately!"
Lan Qing lowered her head, a flash of unwillingness in her eyes.
But, she then stood up respectfully: "Master, as your disciple that you've brought back, I will follow your arrangements."
Having said that, Lan Qing stepped forward, crouching before Wang Yue, and tidied up the collar which had gone awry during her rush, smiling: "Little sister, I'll be your senior sister from now on."
Wang Yue held the Spirit Pearl tightly, her dark eyes wary as she looked at Lan Qing.
"You must cultivate this Spirit Pearl well. In the future, I'll take you into the Talisman Realm!"
Lan Qing quickly said.
Wang Yue's dark eyes rolled around, finally saying: "Okay, from now on you'll be my senior sister."
"Xiaoyueyue, give the Spirit Pearl to grandma."
Tang Zhongqian took the Spirit Pearl from Wang Yue, pulled out a Spirit Talisman, ignited it, and used it on the Spirit Pearl, handing it back to Wang Yue with a smile: "Xiaoyueyue, this is a gift from grandma, from now on it will only belong to you. When you grow up, you'll be able to activate the Spirit Pearl, there will be three minutes of real time, during which if you get involved with Yang Tian, you will become the Saintess of the Talisman Realm. Start cultivating diligently from now on!"
"Okay, ooh ooh, I'm too excited..."
Wang Yue held the Spirit Pearl with both hands and ran around the hall like a butterfly.
"Celestial Master Tang, do you mean that when the Spirit Pearl is activated, my sister has to get involved with Yang Tian?"
Wang Ying couldn't help but ask.
"That's right, the Spirit Pearl is actually the Holy Pearl of the Talisman Realm. By activating it there will be three minutes of real time, which is the most precious. I hope Xiaoyueyue will approach it with a devout attitude!"
Tang Zhongqian said earnestly.
"Grandma, don't worry, I will definitely marry big brother!"
Wang Yue cheered loudly.
Wang Ying felt relieved in her heart; Wang Yue wasn't of age yet, by the time she grew up Yang Tian might have long forgotten her.
Wang Ying said nothing further, as she didn't believe Yang Tian, that rascal, would remain faithful to such a frivolous engagement.
"Only three minutes of real time?"
Yang Tian felt somewhat displeased.
In time, when Wang Yue grows up, she would surely be a great beauty. Getting involved with such a beauty and only three minutes of real time? That's really something to complain about, isn't it?
Though he didn't acknowledge Tang Zhongqian as his grandma, he didn't reject Wang Yue or the Spirit Pearl.
"Immediately relay my orders for the kitchen staff to prepare a grand banquet; today is the day my grandson has returned, I want to celebrate!"
Tang Zhongqian immediately ordered, instructing people to prepare dinner.
"Little junior sister, from now on I'm your senior sister, please come with me so I can introduce you to the world of the Talisman Masters!"
Lan Qing said with a smile to Wang Yue.
"Sure, but I want big brother to come along with me."
Wang Yue was no pushover—although the Spirit Pearl was now hers, she still had no trust in Lan Qing and ran to grab hold of Yang Tian.
