With such an erudite and prodigiously talented father guiding her growth and teaching her various magic combat techniques, she would truly have let Heaven's arrangements go to waste if she didn't improve.
They continued chatting until Xiao Chifeng got off work and returned home, ending their conversation.
The Hall Master also dispelled the barrier.
Sikou Yao had just stepped out of the hall with the children, when she saw Xiao Chifeng approaching from the entrance.
Upon seeing their father return, the four little gems started running towards him with their short legs pumping.
"Daddy…"
"Daddy, daddy, you're back…"
"Daddy, daddy, I've missed you..."
"Daddy, daddy, did you miss me?"
Like Sikou Yao, Xiao Chifeng immediately knelt down and embraced the children as they threw themselves into his arms.
Regrettably, with only two arms, he couldn't hold all four gems at once.
Otherwise, he would have held them all as he walked back home.
