Raising My Children With My Personal Spatial Ability Chapter 2963: 2963: You're Just Too Bored!

He glanced at Hong Tianxu and shook his head slowly. It wasn't as if he despised his wife's relatives; rather, this nephew proved far too undependable and required far more dedication.

“Okay.”

Young City Lord Bai replied, setting aside the teacup he held and rising to his feet.

“Cousin, head to my courtyard with me right now.”

“I…”

Hong Tianxu parted his lips, intending to turn down the offer.

How could his own cultivation level measure up against his cousin's? Surely, mockery would follow soon after.

“Come on, let's practice cultivation briefly at first. Afterward, I'll join you in visiting Young Master Qian and the rest. Rest assured, since you're my cousin, your lack of strength won't earn my disdain.”

I'll make sure to protect you well.

Regrettably, entry into the planes remained beyond his reach, leaving him to watch over Hong Tianxu solely within the Beast Domain. Regarding the planes, Hong Tianxu would need to depend on his personal diligence.

“What sort of cultivation progress could possibly happen in just half an hour?”

Hong Tianxu whispered under his breath while trailing behind.

He believed his words had been soft enough that his cousin wouldn't catch them, yet unexpectedly, Young City Lord Bai halted abruptly and delivered a firm rap to his head.

“Time holds great value, doesn't it? People always have their duties. Cultivation moments are carved out from the tiniest intervals.”

Even as merely the Young City Lord, his father had already delegated numerous responsibilities to him.

Thus, his days stretched busily from dawn until dusk, leaving true cultivation periods limited to the thirty minutes post-lunch and a brief spell in the evening.

Occasionally, duties even encroached on his nighttime hours, forcing him to rise earlier the next day to compensate for the shortfall.

Moreover, as the young master of the Hong Family, his cousin ought to possess this same sense of urgency.

Still, he recognized that his cousin hadn't shouldered the Hong Family's duties yet, and back in the planes, ample time for practice had been available. Things differed here, though; he needed to guarantee his cousin's proper cultivation.

“You’re just too idle!”

Hong Tianxu: “…”

In what way was he idle? Daily activities filled his schedule completely, alright?

Take today, for instance: had Brother Qian not prevented his participation in the real estate dealings, he would've tagged along to assist in price discussions. How could that possibly qualify as idle?

Nevertheless, drawing from previous encounters, he understood his cousin's words typically rang true, so he chose not to contest them.

Alright then, cultivation it shall be. It's hardly as if he's never practiced before. Frequently, he'd skip meals and rest for an entire day devoted to cultivation. Nothing major about it—feels just like home.

“Cousin, what prompted your sudden interest in seeing Brother Qian? Do you sense something odd about their background too?” he inquired while they proceeded.

Young City Lord Bai: “!”

His step nearly tripped over the elevated threshold, almost sending him crashing down.

Whirling around, he shot a fierce look at this troublesome cousin. His intentions had been purely helpful, yet apparently, they'd been misconstrued.

For whose benefit was he planning to encounter Young Master Qian, anyway?

That said, as visitors to the City Lord Residence, meeting them was essential. Yesterday, he'd been occupied with external matters and thus missed greeting Young Master Qian and his spouse. Today, a meeting was imperative.

Failing that, future interactions could turn uncomfortable, potentially leading them to believe the Young City Lord held no regard for their presence.

“It’s not that I sense their status as unusual; their status truly stands as exceptional!” he articulated, grinding out each syllable.

After all, status isn't something just anyone can dismiss by calling it unusual, is it?
