Lin An's scope of understanding was higher than anyone else, Xu Zijing understood clearly.
When Lin An had just started cultivating, while Xu was a Nascent Soul, she had tested him several times before accepting him as a stand-in teacher.
This left him utterly perplexed; how could Lin An take a liking to someone who feared death and clung to life?
Feng Jie Yu, listening on the side, also heaved a sigh of relief; fortunately, her newly acknowledged godson, although somewhat impulsive, was not completely stubborn.
However, after a brief moment of astonishment, Xu Zijing quickly regained his composure.
He glanced at Su Chengyu and continued, "Brother Su, you are overthinking, I am not here to take your life."
"Not? Elder brother, do you really still treat me as a child?"
Upon hearing Xu Zijing's words, Lin An couldn't help herself and spoke out.
"In your elder brother's eyes, you are always a child."
Xu Zijing said tenderly, then his gaze shifted to Su Chengyu.
