Jiang Ping looked at Yan’er with a puzzled face.
“Wan’er? What’s wrong with Wan’er?”
Yan’er pouted mysteriously, which made her look cute.
“Dad, big sister has been getting up early these days.”
“It can’t be!”
Jiang Ping said subconsciously.
He didn’t suspect that Yan’er was lying to him.
But he woke up the three girls almost every day.
And Wan’er was there every day, so he didn’t notice anything strange.
“It’s true, Dad!”
Yan’er saw that her father didn’t believe her, so she was a little anxious.
“I discovered it by accident.”
“I then secretly observed it for a few days before I found out.”
“Every morning, big sister would go to the backyard to learn cultivation from Old Uncle Lei.”
“Then, when you are about to wake us up, she will come back to her room to pretend to be asleep.”
Jiang Ping was shocked when he heard this.
There was no reason for Yan’er to lie to him. There was no need to doubt this.
He also knew that Wan’er liked to cultivate.
Therefore, it was not surprising that Wan’er was able to overcome her laziness and wake up early to cultivate every day.
Moreover, recently, Wan’er’s progress was indeed quite fast. She was only one step away from the refinement realm.
Not only that, although Wan’er was still practicing the body tempering technique, there were faint traces of martial techniques.
Thinking of this, Jiang Ping immediately understood. During this period of time, Lei Jingyun had been hiding from him.

He originally thought that it was because Lei Jingyun was afraid, but it turned out that he was taking drastic measures to deal with his situation.
Jiang Ping snorted lightly and then continued to ask her questions.
“Yan’er, does Auntie Sushang know about this?”
Yan’er raised her small head and thought for a while before she stammered, “Auntie? I don’t think so.”
Jiang Ping nodded without any doubts.
Even he didn’t notice it, so how could Li Sushang know?
And if she knew, she would have told him a long time ago.
“By the way, Dad, I have another secret to tell you!”
“Another secret? Is it related to big sister?”
“Yes, Dad. I overheard it.”
“Big sister is leaving home with Old Uncle Lei tonight.”
After saying that, Yan’er revealed an expression as if she had discovered something big.
Jiang Ping’s expression instantly darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
Lei Jingyun wanted to take his daughter away from the Jiang family. What exactly was he trying to do?
Could it be that he still hadn’t given up on Wan’er?
Jiang Ping snorted coldly and formulated a plan in his mind.
...
At midnight, on the west side of the Jiang Mansion.
The moment he crossed this wall, he would be out of the Jiang Mansion.
This was the time that Wan’er and Lei Jingyun had agreed upon.
“Meow!”
Suddenly, a cat’s meow came from somewhere.
Then, a dog’s bark came from somewhere else.
“Woof woof!”
The dog’s bark seemed to be in response to the cat’s meow.
A moment later, two figures jumped out from the darkness.
One was petite, and the other was skinny.
The petite figure was Jiang Wan’er.
“Old man!”
Wan’er called out excitedly.
This was the first time she had sneaked out of the Jiang Mansion in the middle of the night.
She actually felt very excited!
“Shhh, lower your voice!”
Lei Jingyun hurriedly lowered his voice and reminded her.
He could feel Wan’er’s excitement.
However, he was terrified.
After all, if Jiang Ping found out about this, he would definitely skin him alive.
“Wan’er, be careful, in case your father finds out!”
At the mention of her father, Wan’er quickly covered her mouth.
She looked around and realized that the surroundings were very quiet.
She smiled and said, “It’s alright, old man. My father won’t find out.”
“Why did you come so late? I’ve been waiting for you for two hours,” Lei Jingyun suddenly complained.
Wan’er spread her hands helplessly and said, “I had no choice. My father insisted on telling us a bedtime story.”
“Old man, please don’t be angry.”
Lei Jingyun was about to shake his head when Wan’er exclaimed, “Old man, your face is so red.”
“Are you running a fever? Are you alright?”
Hearing this, Lei Jingyun felt dizzy again.
He was not having a fever, instead, he was feeling embarrassed.
‘Isn’t it your fault for coming up with this way of signaling? You made me, an old man in the last stage of the core building realm, learn to bark like a dog. Only you would do this. Yet, you didn’t take it seriously and asked me if I’m feeling alright. Are you making fun of me?!’ Lei Jingyun thought to himself.
Lei Jingyun really wanted to cry but he could not.
The entire Jiang family made him at a loss of what to do.
He glared fiercely at Wan’er before changing the topic.
“Alright, hurry up and get out.”
“Don’t bump into your father, or else I’ll have to suffer.”
“Okay.”
With this, Wan’er’s attention shifted away from Lei Jingyun’s blushing face.
Then she ran to the corner of the wall and jumped a few times.
She turned around and muttered, “Old man, I can’t jump over.”
“This wall is too high. Why did my father build the wall so high?”
Lei Jingyun now knew.
Wan’er was indeed an anomaly in terms of cultivation.
But in other aspects, she was still an ignorant five-or six-year-old child.
In some aspects, she was even silly.
Lei Jingyun sighed softly and suddenly held Wan’er’s small hand.
With a leap, they flew up to the top of the wall.
Then, they flew up into the sky, facing the moonlight.
At the same time, Jiang Ping appeared in a flash at where they stood a few moments ago.
Without saying a word, he quietly looked in the direction where Lei Jingyun and Wan’er had left.
Jiang Ping was already here when they meowed like a cat and barked like a dog.
Their every move, every word, and every action could not escape Jiang Ping’s eyes and ears.
Jiang Ping completely believed that Wan’er’s recent changes were all related to Lei Jingyun.
He did not expect this guy would not give up.
He had beaten him up a few times and told him not to take his daughter as his disciple.
But it seemed that he did not take Jiang Ping’s warning to heart at all.
Jiang Ping’s expression became even darker.
He looked pale and gloomy under the moonlight.
If Lei Jingyun had seen this expression, he would have been scared to death.
“You had better watch out. Don’t do anything out of line.”
“Otherwise, don’t blame me for being merciless!”
Jiang Ping said coldly as he glared in their direction.
Then, his figure instantly disappeared from that spot.
Like a shooting star streaking across the sky, he chased after Lei Jingyun and Wan’er.
“Could it be that he has already reached the origin core realm?”
Looking at Jiang Ping leaving, a faint voice came from the dark night.
Then, a calm and elegant figure slowly walked out.
It was Li Sushang!
Her beautiful eyes stared in the direction where Jiang Ping had left.
After a long while, she sighed softly.
“Oh, Wan’er.”
Li Sushang shook her head.
In the end, she had nothing to say.
