Seeing the sad look on the faces of the three, Ye Qian shook his head and then asked with a smile.
"How do you know that I will be going to work right after dropping you at your schools?"
Ye Qian's question confused the three as they tilted their heads in confusion and looked at each other.
"But Papa, I saw that all the parents leave, didn't we see Brother Gao's father also leave so quickly?"
Little Jia thought as she explained with an example.
This Brother Gao, the little girl was talking about was, of course, Su Ren's nephew whom Ye Qian and Little Jia had met that day.
"Hmm, but do you know it also depends on what time I want to work."
Ye Qian nodded and then taking a look at the raised brows of the little girls, he then continued.
"Huh?"
"And because I don't want to change any of the things that we do daily, so I thought to go to work at night."
He then continued.
"This way, not only can I come to drop you off, but I will also be there to pick you back up from your schools."
Ye Qian said till this and then his expression turned serious as he squinted his eyes at the three girls.
"These days when I went to pick you three up, I have been receiving many complaints from your teachers."
The three who were eagerly looking at Ye Qian with stars shining in their eyes were like suddenly had eaten a bitter gourd as their faces turned pale as they shook.
"Aiya, Papa, that was not it, Qiqi promises, I was just telling Ji and Mei something and then Miss Wu saw Qiqi."
Little Qiqi shook her tiny head with vigour and the same was for Xiao Ya.
"Yes yes, Dad, same for me."
Seeing the three girls stammering as if being caught like a mouse in a net, their mothers and grandparents couldn't help but laugh at the scene.
"Alright, I hope you all did your homework today, if not then you will get some punishment if I hear your teachers complaining."
The three girls obviously looked wary seeing the serious look on their Papa's face.
"Ahh, Little Qi, don't terrify my little girls, enough with your act."
But hearing Grandma Yan's words, their lips pursed seeing that even if Ye Qian had a serious look on his face, his eyes said something different.
It was amusement.
"Ahhh, Dad, you making fun of us."
Xiao Ya rubbed her head onto Ye Qian's stomach making him burst into laughter.
"Hehe, it was so amusing seeing you three like that."
Saying that Ye Qian once again continued to feed the three.
__________
Roughly a thousand kilometres away from Ye Qian's house.
In the deep mountains of the caves which didn't seem to have any touch of humans for centuries.
The caves were formed due to the degradation caused due to the water butting the mountains right from the centre.
But among these caves, there was one which was quite different from the ones which originated due to such actions of nature.
In fact, it would be hard for one to even think that there was a cave within these mountain ranges which were deeply covered in thick vegetation.
It would be even hard to say that it was even possible for anyone to live in a place like such with so many wild animals surrounding them and with the fear of death looming over their head.
"ARGHHHHH"
But from a place like this came a loud howl of anger completely dissipating the eerie silence of the forest and the mountains.
"You will pay for this!"
A loud road almost shook the whole base of the mountain churning the waterbodies beside it.
"RUMBLE"
But that was when the sky thundered as if heavy lightning was about to fall from the heavens.
The voice from before quietened and the mountain once again turned silent, but the animals could not stop from clamouring in fear and rushing away from the mountain not caring whether it was their home or not.
Right now they feared that the thing that was within the mountain would come and make them lose their life.
After the rumbling of the thunder, the voice from before had completely quietened as if deeply afraid to let its existence known.
"Just wait till I reach the higher realm, I will tear you into pieces, the work of all these years turned into nothing in a day, this emperor can't let such blasphemy be carried away."
From one of the caves came a vice which was filled with deep hatred and malice.
A few of the weaker animals had already lost their life with just the voice and the booming killing pressure which hit them all of a sudden not even giving them the time to take action for saving their pitiful lives.
And the source of this voice filled with hatred was one of the latest mountains in this range.
__________
On one of the small peaks a few hundred kilometres away from the Star City.
An old man sat with his legs folded and a serene look on his face.
The lips of the old man twitched for a moment before those eyes which were shut giving off a serene feeling turned into something completely opposite.
"Did Fu Kang find the Heavenly Ice Body yet?"
As the old man said, a shrill cry was heard from the sky and a crane appeared right next to him in a moment.
"SCREEEE"
The crane looked like any other normal crane except for its size and the ferocious look in its eyes as if it wanted to kill anything that would come in its path.
At the feet of the crane was a claw-shaped metal plate and from the looks of it, one didn't need to think much about knowing that it was specially made for the bird in order to attack its opponent.
"All for nought."
Taking the small paper wrapped at the leg of the crane, the old man frowned as the paper in his hand turned into dust as he crumbled it with his palm.
