A Plea from Weixing

"Xiaofei, this is Shiman, and this is Wanning."

Soon, they arrived at the villa. Qin Fei was arranging the breakfast on the table when Li Lizhi walked over and introduced her to Ying Shiman and Zhu Wanning respectively.

"Hello."

Upon hearing this, Qin Fei greeted the two politely and pulled them to sit down at the dining table.

At that moment, Su Xingwan, Jiang Yanran, and the others also came out from the kitchen after finishing their work.

Everyone introduced themselves, exchanged greetings, and then sat down together to eat.

"Sizi wants to eat this."

The little princess, held in Li Lizhi arms, pointed at the meat buns on the plate, already unable to stop her mouth from watering.

Li Lizhi reached out, picked one up, and broke off a small piece to feed Sizi.

But Sizi shook her head, "Sister eats the skin-skin, Sizi eats the meat-meat."

Hearing this, Li Lizhi was stunned for a moment, then understood her meaning.

The little one didn't intend to eat the bun skin, wanting only the meat filling inside.

She said, "Be good, Sizi. Buns should be eaten with both the skin and filling, so it won't be too greasy, and if it's not greasy, you can eat more."

"Okay, I'll listen to Sister."

Hearing this, the little one nodded obediently. Between delicious taste and eating more, she chose the latter.

"Xiongying, look, I'll show you how to eat two buns in one bite." Zhu Gaochi's voice came from beside him.

Then, holding a bun in each hand, he shoved them both into his mouth.

Qin Fei and the others worried at first that he might choke, but they never imagined the little chubby fellow actually swallowed both buns in one mouthful, leaving them all wide-eyed with astonishment.

"Sizi, after we finish eating, we'll be going to kindergarten," Jiang Yanran said with a smile.

A question mark appeared above Sizi's head, "Kindergarten—what’s that?"

"It's a place that teaches you to read and write. That way, when you grow up, no one can bully you," Li Lizhi explained.

"Then Sizi wants to go to kindergarten, so Sizi can grow up and not let others bully me." The little girl spoke with a firm expression.

"Do we have to go too?"

Zhu Xiongying, Zhu Gaochi, and a few others wore gloomy, troubled faces.

They understood far more than Sizi and realized that once they truly went to kindergarten, the time they could spend playing would definitely decrease.

"You all have to go," Xu Miaojin said.

"Studying is good. Big brother likes studying. Yinman also wants to study." Yinman spoke up.

Compared to the other little ones, if there was one present who was the most well-behaved, it had to be Yinman.

Sizi and Chengyang were both lively and active, and Zhu Gaochi, Zhu Xiongying, and the rest went without saying.

Only Yinman and Xu Miaojin still looked like well-behaved babies.

At that moment, Qin Ning came downstairs.

"Bro, come eat with us."

Qin Fei got up, pulled him over to the dining table, and then introduced, "This is Sister Shiman and Sister Wanning."

"Hello." Qin Ning smiled and greeted Ying Shiman and Zhu Wanning.

"Greetings, Master."

Ying Shiman and Zhu Wanning rose simultaneously and bowed slightly to him.

"There's no need for that. In this later era, there aren't so many formalities."

Qin Ning waved his hand at them, then turned his palm over and produced two jade pendants, handing one to each of them. "These are protective talismans, consider them my gift to you. Keep them and carry them with you—they will ensure your safety."

"Thank you, Master Qin." Both women's faces lit up with joy.

They had already learned that Qin Ning possessed means beyond the imagination of ordinary people.

Such protective talismans were not the simple kind obtained from temples; they truly had the power to protect.

"Little Nangjun, you eat."

At that moment, Sizi, holding a meat bun, jumped down from Li Lizhi's arms, ran all the way to Qin Ning, and extended her little hand to offer the bun to him.

"Sizi is good."

Qin Ning smiled, patted her little head, took a bite of the bun, and then picked her up. "Sizi, soon we're going to kindergarten. Are you scared?"

"Sizi isn't scared."

The little girl shook her head, "Sister said that in kindergarten, we can draw and write, and there's delicious food too."

"It's okay, Bro. The kindergarten is right next door, and we're not far either. If Sizi and the others ever feel uncomfortable, we can get there in no time," Qin Fei said.

Qin Ning nodded and joined the others in eating breakfast.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang.

He took out his phone and glanced at the caller ID, seeing that it was Elder Zeng. Qin Ning paused for a moment but quickly answered. "Elder Zeng, why are you suddenly calling me? Is something wrong?"

"Something terrible has happened, Qin Ning. There's trouble at Weixing. Can you come to the capital now? Elder Wu is also here," Elder Zeng's voice came through the phone.

Trouble at Weixing?

Qin Ning frowned slightly but didn't ask further. He replied, "Alright, I'll be there in two minutes. Wait for me at the base with Elder Wu."

After hanging up, he said a few words to Qin Fei and the others, gulped down some porridge, and left.

Two minutes later.

At the capital's training base.

When Qin Ning arrived, Elder Zeng and Elder Wu were already there.

Elder Wu looked visibly anxious, with furrowed brows and a face full of worry.

"What happened?" Qin Ning asked.

Elder Wu said, "Mr. Qin, not long ago, Weixing was invaded by an alien civilization. They came in a interstellar mothership with highly advanced technology. Weixing used every means at its disposal and finally managed to shoot down that mothership. But based on subsequent information tracking, we learned that the mothership was only a scout. There's likely a real mothership fleet still on the way."

An alien civilization?

Hearing this, Qin Ning narrowed his eyes.

The last time he left Earth to undergo the Tribulation of the Immortal Emperor, he had detected that there were many other civilizations in this universe.

Earth and Weixing were just two among them.

And a civilization capable of long-distance expeditions was undoubtedly far more advanced in technology and other aspects than Weixing.

At the very least, given Weixing's current level of development, it was nowhere near such capabilities.

"It's fine. I'll go over there. Let's go, see what these guys are really about." Qin Ning said calmly.

For someone at his level of cultivation, technology no longer held any significance.

"Thank you, Mr. Qin. That would be a great relief." Elder Wu's face lit up with joy, and a weight was lifted from his heart.

He understood clearly that if Qin Ning took action, Weixing would certainly be safe.

The main issue was that the invading civilization was so advanced—just one scouting mothership had forced Weixing to deploy all its cutting-edge weapons to bring it down.

It was easy to imagine how formidable the arriving mothership fleet would be, far beyond what Weixing's current technological force could withstand. That was why he had come to seek Qin Ning's help.
