When they returned to the Jiang family, the sun had already set in the west.
Jiang Wan’er had a casual look on her face as if nothing had happened.
Holding Jiang Ping’s hand, she skipped into the Jiang Mansion.
The butler, Chen Zhong, still could not understand.
The patriarch and Li Batian had left for a short period of time. When they returned, Li Batian seemed to have completely changed his attitude.
Of course, Jiang Ping didn’t say anything, and he wouldn’t ask.
After being a personal butler for so many years, he knew better.
Jiang Ping lay on the bamboo chair in the courtyard.

Over the years, he had developed the habit of quietly watching the sunset.
Wan’er was not nearly as relaxed as her father.
Her energy seemed to be endless.
Although she had been busy for an entire day and her stomach was rumbling, she was still dancing in the yard with a wooden sword.
“Dad, do you think I’m good?”
Wan’er’s laughter rang like a silver bell.
Jiang Ping smacked his lips and put down his teacup.
As he watched Wan’er dance without rhyme or pattern, he couldn’t help but laugh.
Yet he said, “Awesome!”

“You’re the best, this sword dance is excellent.”
Jiang Ping really couldn’t think of any better words to describe it. After all, he couldn’t comment that she didn’t know how to use a sword, for that would hurt his daughter’s heart.
Sigh. Looking at Wan’er, Jiang Ping felt worried.
Today’s matter was settled.
He wasn’t worried the Li family would come looking for trouble.
But if he was just an ordinary person, he wouldn’t have known how to end this matter.
This world was just so cruel.
Moreover, it wasn’t just the human heart that was sinister.
There were also vicious demons and beasts in the wild.
If he had a choice, he would want to continue being ordinary.
However, this was obviously impossible for his cultivation clan.
He could only try his best to maintain this kind of peace by becoming stronger.
Moreover, Wan’er was active and noisy by nature, and he couldn’t stay by her side all the time.
According to her personality, it was inevitable that she would have come into conflict with others.
Moreover, the world outside was so chaotic now.
There were endless fighting and killings.
Even if one did not cause trouble, trouble would come looking for you.
Perhaps if he wasn’t careful…
‘No, I have to give my three little girls the ability to protect themselves,’ Jiang Ping thought.
A resolute light flashed across Jiang Ping’s eyes.
He couldn’t bear to see his daughters suffer now. He definitely wouldn’t let his daughters suffer in the future!
“It’s time for the three little girls to start cultivating.”
Jiang Ping sighed softly and muttered.
“Wow, Auntie and sisters are back!”
Wan’er dropped the wooden sword in her hand and suddenly shouted.
Only then did Jiang Ping come back to his senses.
He looked in the direction of the voice and saw a graceful figure appear at the door.
It was Li Sushang, the deputy butler of the Jiang Mansion. She was also the one who took care of the three girls of the Jiang family.
Li Sushang was holding a little girl in each of her hands.
The two little girls were about the same age as Jiang Wan’er.
One of them was dressed in purple, and she looked calm and elegant.
She had braided hair that hung over her chest.
The other little girl was wearing a green dress that was similar to Jiang Ping’s.
Just like Jiang Wan’er, she had two braided ponytails.
Her face was rounder than the girl in purple and she looked more affectionate.
However, these three girls were all beauties.

When they grew up, they would definitely become peerless beauties that could overthrow a kingdom.

“Dad!”
The two girls’ eyes lit up when they saw Jiang Ping in the courtyard, and ran towards him with small steps.
Wan’er also ran towards Jiang Ping when she saw this.
She was the closest to Jiang Ping, so she pounced on Jiang Ping first.
Li Sushang felt her heart ache when she felt her hands suddenly empty.
‘Hmph, these two little brats really can’t behave themselves. The moment they saw their father, they forgot all about me!’ Li Sushang thought.
Despite her thoughts, she yelled after them, “Yan’er, Liu’er, slow down and don’t fall!”
The two little girls were Jiang Ping’s second daughter and youngest daughter.
The girl in purple was Jiang Yan’er, the second daughter.
The girl in green was Jiang Liu’er, the youngest daughter.
The two of them did not seem to hear her at all.
Like two nimble kittens, they pounced on Jiang Ping in an instant.
“Dad!”
As they pounced into Jiang Ping’s arms, the two little girls said in a childish voice, “Hey, Dad is here!”
Jiang Ping smiled like a loving father.
Although the two girls were both slim and weak, he joked, “Yan’er, Liu’er, you’ve gained weight again. It hurts.”
Hearing this, Yan’er and Liu’er were immediately unhappy.
Although they were just five or six-year-old, they didn’t want to be called fat.

Therefore, two pairs of resentful eyes instantly fell on Jiang Ping.
“Dad!”
They wanted to get angry, but when they spoke, they sounded pouty and cute, making Jiang Ping laugh out loud.
“You only know how to bully people!”
“You’re really too much!”
The two girls pouted.
When Jiang Wan’er saw this, she pushed the two of them with her small hands and muttered,
“Dad already said that you’re too heavy.”
“Hurry up and get down.”
Her father’s embrace was originally her most comfortable nest.
Now that there were two more people squeezing together with her, she was naturally not happy, even if those two were her dear younger sisters.
But Yan’er and Liu’er had the same thoughts. They would not let Wan’er have her way.
“Hmph, you’re the eldest sister, so you’re the heaviest! You should be the one to get down.”
“That’s right, you get down.”
The result was that none of the three girls were willing to get down from Jiang Ping’s embrace.
They hung on his body like three koalas.

Jiang Ping was also happy to see them fighting with one other, so he watched them quietly with a smile.
After a long while, Li Sushang couldn’t stand it anymore.
She went up and said, “Wan’er, Yan’er, Liu’er, come down quickly.”
“You’re all hungry, right? It’s time to eat.”
Jiang Ping gently placed his three daughters on the ground before standing up and saying with a smile, “Yes! I will cook something delicious for you today!”
The three girls were initially unwilling to let go, but when they heard Jiang Ping’s words, their stomachs began to growl uncontrollably.
“I want to eat sweet and sour pork tenderloin!”
“I want to eat braised eggplant with fish!”
“I want to eat chinese cabbage!”

The three daughters raised their hands and spoke enthusiastically.
“Alright, I will make all of them for you!”
“You can play in this courtyard for now.”
After saying this, Jiang Ping patted their heads and then walked towards the backyard.
Before he left, he gave Li Sushang a look.
Li Sushang understood and gave a few instructions to the maids who were looking after the three girls before quietly following him.
…
In the backyard of the Jiang Mansion.
“Sushang, I think we should let Wan’er and the others start cultivating.”
Jiang Ping, who was walking in front, suddenly said.
Li Sushang, who was behind him, suddenly trembled. It took her a long time before she spoke slowly.
“Patriarch, isn’t it a little too early?”
“It’s not too early. Now is the time for them to grow up.”
“The two of us can’t always protect them. We should at least give them some ability to protect themselves.”
After hearing this, Li Sushang didn’t say anything else.
Because she knew it was the truth.
She didn’t want to see the three cute girls suffer.
In a cultivation clan like theirs, cultivation was something that would happen sooner or later.
And it was better to do it sooner than later.
The earlier the cultivation started, the earlier one could feel at ease.
