“It’s better for children to be more cheerful.
You’re much more cheerful now than when I first met you.” Qingque looked at Yanqing.
“I told Jing Yuan long ago to bring you to the Seat of Divine Foresight for a visit.
With Keqing here, you two would surely find something to talk about.” “Spending time with people of a similar age is the best way to open up one’s heart.” After listening to Qingque for a while, Keqing finally spoke up, “Sister Qing Zu, regarding age, I should be much older than him.” “Much older?
According to the average age for obtaining an Adulthood Certificate, you’re still just a child right now.” “How many decades older do you think you are than him?” Keqing couldn’t really refute what Qingque said.
If calculated by age, his record on the Xianzhou was only…
less than a hundred years old?
Even Qingque’s age was much greater than his.
Only the Xianzhou people’s ages couldn’t be guessed by their appearance.
If it were a world with an average lifespan of a hundred years, he would now be…
Still a toddler?
Thinking of this, Keqing reached out and patted his own face.
He had already obtained his Adulthood Certificate!
He was an adult!
“At least I’ve already obtained my Adulthood Certificate and am officially working at the Seat of Divine Foresight,” Keqing said.
“Actually, when you first joined, Jing Yuan and I discussed whether or not to let you join.” Qingque’s words caught the attention of the two.
“Because you were so young—obtaining an Adulthood Certificate at just a few decades old—you are undoubtedly a genius.” “You also answered all the interview questions very well.” “The main issue was your age, which Jing Yuan and I discussed for a long time.” “In the end, we both agreed that although you are young, your way of handling things is quite mature.” “Plus, the evaluation given by the Divination Commission when they recommended you was that your cognition and behavior are more mature than your actual age.” “That’s how you were allowed into the Seat of Divine Foresight.” After hearing Qingque’s words, Keqing understood why he had to wait so long when joining the Seat of Divine Foresight.
So it really was an issue of age…
Did the Xianzhou really value age that much?
Wasn’t having an Adulthood Certificate enough?
“Sister Qing Zu, I am an adult now.
At least, that’s what it says on my certificate,” Keqing said helplessly.
“By normal standards, adulthood is reached at two hundred years.
Calculate for yourself how old you actually are.” “So, you and Yanqing can be considered of the same generation.” “You should take good care of your younger junior,” Qingque said with a smile.
After speaking to Keqing, Qingque turned to Yanqing and said, “Yanqing, when you see Keqing, you should call him Big Brother.
Maybe if he’s happy, he’ll teach you Sword Techniques every day.” Hearing this, Yanqing looked at Keqing and called out, “Big Brother Keqing.” Keqing sighed and looked at Qingque with a look of helplessness.
“Keqing, you must take good care of this little brother,” Qingque said at the right moment.
Glancing at Yanqing’s expectant eyes, “Alright, don’t look at me like that.
I’ll continue to teach you when I have time.” “Then I’ll leave Yanqing to you, Keqing.” Hearing Keqing say that, Qingque immediately felt relieved.
When it came to looking after children, neither she nor Jing Yuan were very skilled.
They could handle the usual teaching, but as for childcare, they’d let others do it if they could.
Jing Yuan asked her to help look after Yanqing, so there was nothing wrong with her asking Keqing, who wasn’t much older than Yanqing, for help.
They hadn’t been chatting for long before the food Qingque ordered was served.
“Alright, time to eat.
If you two want to bond, wait until after the meal.” After taking a bite, Qingque made a satisfied sound.
“As expected, the food inside the Seat of Divine Foresight tastes familiar.
These past few days, I’ve either been running around outside or eating at Jing Yuan’s house.
Jing Yuan’s cooking is truly terrible.” “Does the General still cook for himself?” Keqing asked curiously.
“Uh…
if what he makes can be called food, then what we’re eating now would be considered a delicacy,” Qingque said with an indescribable expression.
“Anyway, Keqing, let me tell you, if Jing Yuan says he wants to cook for you, remember to run as far away as possible.” “The General’s cooking…
is edible,” Yanqing said at this moment.
“Little Yanqing, don’t try to speak up for Jing Yuan.
When it comes to culinary skills, Jing Yuan is truly hopeless,” Qingque said helplessly.
“Seriously, don’t encourage him to cook anymore.
If you eat it a few more times, I think you’ll end up in the Alchemy Commission.” “Is the General’s cooking really that exaggerated?” Hearing Qingque say this, Keqing became curious instead.
To what extent could it be bad enough for Qingque to describe it like that?
Although he didn’t know Qingque’s exact age, to be able to become the Chief Strategist, she certainly wasn’t that young.
To make someone of that age say that eating it a few more times would send one to the Alchemy Commission…
The bodies of the Xianzhou people should be quite resilient…
“Keqing, if I were to evaluate Jing Yuan’s cooking, it’s worse than just eating the raw ingredients,” Qingque said with a strained expression.
“He had never set foot in a kitchen before, but after adopting Yanqing, for some reason, he started cooking.” “The key is that he actually thinks the food he makes is delicious…” “If I had known that letting Jing Yuan into the kitchen once would make him want to learn how to cook, I should have had him watch Yanqing while I went to the kitchen myself.”
