"Yes, Nana will!"
Hu Liena clenched her small hands, her innocent face full of seriousness.
Looking at Qian Renjue, she waited intently for what he would say next.
"Very good, then listen carefully."
Qian Renjue nodded with satisfaction and extended his index finger.
"The first lesson I will teach you is to always be loyal to the Martial Soul Hall! When you meet an enemy, you must never be soft-hearted or show any Compassion!"
"..."
Hu Liena was in a daze, not pretending to understand. Instead, she raised her eyes and her hand, cautiously asking, "Senior Brother, what is Compassion?"
"It doesn't matter if you don't understand now. You just need to remember it well; you'll understand sooner or later."
Qian Renjue gently shook his head. He didn't offer any further explanation, only instructed Hu Liena to keep it firmly in mind.
"Yes, Nana will definitely remember!"
Hu Liena nodded seriously.
Her pink lips moved, silently repeating it several times to make sure she hadn't missed anything before she finally relaxed.
"Of course... just remembering isn't enough."
Qian Renjue chuckled, shaking his finger, the smile slowly fading from his face.
His expression turned blank, and his voice became cold.
He warned: "If I ever find out that you're betraying us... as your senior brother, as the Saint Son of the Martial Soul Hall...!"
"I... will kill you with my own hands!"
Qian Renjue stared directly at Hu Liena, making the consequence perfectly clear, word by word.
"N-no, I won't!"
The cold demeanor, the murderous words.
They made Hu Liena feel exceptionally unfamiliar and icy cold.
Far from the gentleness he remembered.
She hastily assured him, "Senior Brother, Liena won't betray you! Liena definitely won't!"
Hu Liena was panicked, her face pale. She frantically waved her small hands, and her eyes began to mist over.
Her petite body left the seat.
She knelt directly on the ground, raising tearful eyes, her voice already choked with sobs. "Senior Brother, Liena will be very obedient, really, Waaah."
"Uh..."
Seeing Hu Liena suddenly burst into tears, Qian Renjue was somewhat at a loss.
He hadn't intended to make Hu Liena cry at all.
Qian Renjue's cold expression vanished without a trace. He couldn't help but cough twice and explained, "Um... Nana, Senior Brother here was just saying, just in case, if... do you understand?"
Hu Liena, with tears streaming down her face, knelt on the ground, completely ignoring Qian Renjue's explanation.
Pouting, she kept explaining, "Senior Brother, Nana didn't betray you, waah..."
"Uh, Nana, Senior Brother didn't say you betrayed me. I'm just saying, in case!"
Qian Renjue helplessly rubbed his forehead. He immediately stood up, stepped forward, and reached to pick up Hu Liena.
"Nana, get up first. Don't kneel."
"Senior brother. Nana will be obedient."
Hu Liena knelt on the ground, clutching Qian Renjue's clothes tightly.
"I know, don't cry first."
Qian Renjue gently embraced Hu Liena, feeling her sobs and filled with questions.
Could it be that he was scary when he was stern?
But he hadn't even been that harsh with her, not even activating his martial soul's red eye effect.
Qian Renjue gently patted Hu Liena's back.
He looked at the Soft Bone Rabbit on the tea table with confusion.
His face regained the same seriousness as before, his expressionless gaze meeting the rabbit's.
"Squeak!"
(What are you looking at! It's Xiao Wu who's being kind enough to let you eat her apple. Hmph!)
The Soft Bone Rabbit barked angrily at Qian Renjue.
Then, it turned its head away proudly.
"I'm not being mean,"
Qian Renjue mumbled softly, shaking his head with a wry smile.
"Nana, don't cry."
"Awoo!"
Qian Renjue picked up Hu Liena and slowly sat down on the sofa.
He reached out, gently wiping away those tears.
He continued to explain.
"Liena, senior brother is just saying 'if', I didn't say you're betraying us, just reminding you..."
"..."
Qian Renjue held Hu Liena, comforting her for a long while before she stopped crying.
Hu Liena sniffled.
Clutching Qian Renjue's hand tightly, she met his soft, purple gaze.
She whimpered, "Senior brother, please believe Liena."
"Of course, senior brother believes you, but I also hope that you will be worthy of that belief in the future."
Qian Renjue spoke softly, carefully brushing away the hair that clung to her face.
"I will, Senior Brother."
Hu Liena promised in a tender voice.
Tilting her head, she cautiously rubbed against Qian Renjue's fingertips.
The coldness from her tears began to dissipate, replaced by a touch of warmth.
"Alright, I'll teach you about cultivation and some common knowledge related to Soul Masters."
Qian Renjue breathed a sigh of relief, setting Hu Liena down beside him.
He then prepared to retrieve a book from his system space.
Hu Liena sat obediently to the side, her little nose twitching as she couldn't help but lean closer to Qian Renjue.
"Oh right, before that, senior brother will give you a gift first."
Upon hearing Qian Renjue's voice, Hu Liena immediately turned her gaze over, her eyes filled with a hint of surprise.
"What a beautiful hairpin."
"This hairpin is a Storage Soul Tool, with ten cubic meters of space inside."
Qian Renjue held a golden hairpin in his hand, inlaid with milky-white gemstones.
"A Storage Soul Tool, as the name suggests, is mainly used for storing things. Just input soul power to use it."
Qian Renjue explained, demonstrating the action twice.
"How amazing!"
Hu Liena watched the book vanish from Qian Renjue's hand, a look of amazement in her eyes.
"Alright, let me help you put it on first."
"Mmm~"
Hu Liena nodded slightly, lowering her head and moving closer to Qian Renjue.
Qian Renjue wrinkled his nose.
Hu Liena always had a faint, familiar scent of rich milk around her.
"Alright."
"Thank you, senior brother~"
Hu Liena touched the hairpin on her head.
Her red eyes hid a blush, and she looked at Qian Renjue with a sweet smile.
At the same time, a sound came from Qian Renjue's mind.
[Congratulations to the host for successfully conveying great love! (Target: Hu Liena)] [Reward received: 800 points.]
While Qian Renjue was in a daze.
Hu Liena was already playing with the book, taking it out and putting it away repeatedly, enjoying herself immensely.
The Soft Bone Rabbit was also looking at the Hairpin with surprise.
"Alright, sit up straight. It's time for class."
Qian Renjue smiled and pressed down on her head, gently rubbing it.
"Yeah!"
Hu Liena sat up straight, her eyes blinking as she stared at Qian Renjue.
"Awoo~"
Qian Renjue rolled his eyes, pinched her cheeks, and said helplessly:
"You put my book away. Hurry up and get it out."
"Ah, Nana will get it right away."
Hu Liena, her face flushed, took out the Path of Soul Masters: Five Years of Foundation, Three Years of Advancement from her Storage Soul Tool.
Holding it in her hands, she respectfully and obediently handed it to Qian Renjue.
"Senior Brother~"
Qian Renjue took the book, slightly nodding his head.
"Alright, now... repeat the content of my first lesson."
Hearing this.
Hu Liena immediately became serious.
"Senior Brother, Nana remembers to be loyal to Senior Brother, not to betray him. You can't be soft on enemies, and you can't have Compassion!"
"..."
Qian Renjue raised an eyebrow. Something felt off, somehow. I wish you all a happy life!
