"I was wounded on the battlefield. I can only ever have you as my daughter, and I truly don't want to hold her back. Tomorrow, I'll speak with Aunt Liu and make things clear."
"Father, do you like Aunt Liu?" 'If he likes her, none of this should be a problem,' Ye Qianning thought. 'Besides, it's clear Aunt Liu is completely devoted to him.'
"I wouldn't say I like her. The estate arranging such a ridiculous 'warding-off-ill-fortune' marriage... she's the one to be pitied."
"If you really don't like her, Father, you have to explain it to Aunt Liu properly."
"You don't need to worry about this. I'll handle it," Xiang Minghou said, changing the subject. "As for you, Dean Chen sent a letter today asking when you'll be going to the academy."
"In a few more days." Thinking of her space, Ye Qianning added, "Father, I want a large cauldron."
"What kind of cauldron?"
"The kind used for Alchemy, for refining pills." 'Practicing Alchemy is my top priority right now,' Ye Qianning thought.
