Chapter 475: Chapter 473: This Brother Is More Pleasing to the Eye than the Previous Ones_1
Ye Mingsheng nodded, stroking his beard with a smile: “My granddaughter, Ye Mingsheng, can’t be mediocre. She must be better than other disciples.”
“It’s great that father is willing to teach her.”
Ye Xue’e’s eyes lit up with joy: “It’s an excellent opportunity now that she’s in the valley and won’t be going out for a while. Teach her more, so she doesn’t run away after a few days, and we can’t catch her.”
“Hahaha, alright.”
Ye Mingsheng’s beard curled up in happiness: “As long as Qingluo is willing to learn, I will do my best to teach her.”

Lin Qingluo escorted her grandfather into the valley and stopped at the bamboo house. Instead of going in, she turned around and headed to the herb garden.
Little Prince, carrying a small basket and a little shovel, was helping his sister tend to the herb garden.
Seeing his sister coming, he grinned happily, showing off the newly harvested medicinal plant seeds: “Sister, look, the Spirit Ginseng seeds are mature, and we can plant them.”
“Xuan’er, you’re amazing. You harvested so many seeds in just one morning.”
Lin Qingluo smiled affectionately, ruffling his hair as a reward.
“Sister, let’s go plant the medicinal plants.”
Little Prince smiled happily, enjoying his sister’s affection.
Lin Qingluo nodded with a smile: “Alright, let’s cultivate a new plot of land for the seeds.”
“Sister, here’s the shovel.”
Little Prince handed the shovel to his sister and picked up a watering pot.
“Alright, let’s plant the medicinal plants.”
Lin Qingluo, grinning brightly, took the little shovel and walked with the Little Prince to the edge of the herb garden.
Ye Mingsheng’s two proteges followed with great curiosity.
Xu Wei smiled sycophantically: “Miss Lin, planting medicinal plants? We can help.”
“You two…”
Lin Qingluo glanced at their elaborate clothes and kindly suggested: “It’s best to change your clothes first since there’s a lot of dirt in the herb garden. It would be a mess if mud splashed all over.”
“No worries.”
Xu Wei laughed dismissively: “It’s just a set of clothes. If they get dirty, we can change them later.”
“If they get dirty, no one will wash them for you.”
Lin Qingluo teased them: “You two young masters have probably never even used soap nuts to do laundry, right?”
“Ahem.”
Ji Liuyun coughed lightly in embarrassment.
“Miss Lin is right. Senior Brother, let’s change our clothes first.”
“Fine, let’s change.”
Xu Wei scoffed with a self-deprecating smile: “We were already disliked upon arrival – such tough luck for us!”
“Sister, who are they?”
Little Prince, curious about the conversation, glanced at them. His bright eyes lingered on Ji Liuyun’s handsome face for a moment.
Subconsciously, he thought that this older brother looked pretty good, even better than the others he’d seen before.
“They are disciples of your grandfather.”
Lin Qingluo smiled softly: “They travel and give lectures with him, and this time, they came along as well.”
“When will sister go traveling again? Xuan’er wants to go too.”
Little Prince’s eyes lit up at the mention of traveling, looking forward to it.
“I can’t go for now.”
Lin Qingluo sighed regretfully, “I can’t leave when opening up the gorge is so important. Big brother can’t handle everything alone.”
“If sister is too busy, it’s fine.”
Little Prince chimed in obediently, “Xuan’er will help sister tend to the herb garden and plant the medicinal plants.”
“Xuan’er is a good boy.”
Lin Qingluo smiled and ruffled his hair again: “You’re becoming more and more sensible, just like a big kid.”
“Xuan’er will turn eight soon, and I’m already a big kid!”
Little Prince muttered, pouting his cheeks.
