"Of course I know that."
Su Ning sighed. Everyone understood the logic, but she still couldn't suppress the worry in her heart.
"Oh, right. Xiao Xiao mentioned inviting Xiao Li to the home of one of Zhixing's old acquaintances in a few days. Apparently, the conditions there are better than here, allowing her to make further progress before enrollment."
She had been immersed in celebrating the children's excellent results and had temporarily forgotten about this matter. Now that she had calmed down, Su Ning remembered Gu Xiao's invitation again.
"Zhixing's old acquaintance? Where?"
Lu Yong didn't react much. The two children had been close since childhood, and whenever Xiao Xiao had good fortune, she always thought of Xiao Li.
Since Xiao Li met Xiao Xiao, she had always followed behind Xiao Xiao like a little Tail.
Although the two were not biological sisters, their affection for each other surpassed that of real sisters.
"It seems like... the Central District, the Jing Family."
Su Ning frowned and pondered for a moment. She remembered Qinghuan saying that.
"Central District? The Jing Family?"
After hearing his wife's words, the originally casual Lu Yong suddenly sat up from the bed.
"What's wrong?"
Seeing her husband's huge reaction, Su Ning looked slightly bewildered.
"The Jing Family in the Central District? Are you sure?"
Lu Yong turned his head and asked with a shocked expression.
Tianyuan City, Central District, Jing Family—wasn't that the family where the City Lord resided?
Brother Gu has connections like that?
"Yes, why?"
She was a Professional herself, after all. Although she was only Scholar Rank, her Remembrance was far superior to ordinary people. How could she misremember something in such a short time?
But she quickly realized that seeing her husband's shocked look, the Jing Family must be extraordinary.
Although she felt the term Jing Family was familiar, she couldn't recall it immediately.
Just like many people don't know the name of their county magistrate, Su Ning's impression of the City Lord of Tianyuan City was just that of a very powerful person.
Perhaps she had heard the name of the City Lord of Tianyuan City somewhere, but since she hadn't deliberately tried to remember it, she had forgotten it over time.
"The Central District, the Jing Family—is something wrong?"
Judging by her husband's reaction, he must know about the Jing Family in the Central District.
"The Jing Family of Tianyuan City, that's the City Lord's Manor!"
When he said this, Lu Yong suddenly thought of Gu Xiao's unreasonably fast cultivation speed.
Just as the newcomer under him had said, if she wasn't some family's young miss, how could she have such a cultivation speed?
If Gu Zhixing was an old acquaintance of the Jing Family, then it made sense.
With Gu Zhixing's connection, and coupled with Gu Xiao's outstanding talent, it was normal for a close friend to provide some assistance to their niece.
He just didn't know what position Gu Zhixing's friend held in the Jing Family. As a top great family in Tianyuan City, they must have numerous clan members.
It was impossible to judge the other party's status based on the resources Gu Xiao received, even though this was not a small sum for people like them.
But for a behemoth like the Jing Family, even if they were just collateral relatives, these resources would be nothing more than a drop in the ocean in their eyes.
This made it hard to guess, but surely it couldn't be the City Lord, right?
But then he immediately felt relieved. He had watched Xiao Xiao grow up, and he naturally understood her personality.
In any case, Gu Xiao would never do anything to harm Lu Li.
Since that was the case, why should he worry about who this old acquaintance of Gu Zhixing was? In any event, their child was benefiting from this.
It wasn't a bad thing, so why should he pry into the details?
Thinking of this, Lu Yong immediately relaxed his mind, turned around, and lay back down in the blanket.
Although he had calmed down, Su Ning, who had just learned the "truth," couldn't calm down.
Jing Family, City Lord's Manor—these two terms came so suddenly that they made her dizzy.
That was an existence in the heavens, someone that small citizens like them could never hope to meet in their entire lives.
The only chance they might have to see them was probably online.
"Should we still let Xiao Li go? And should we tell Xiao Li about this matter?"
Upon learning that her daughter could interact with such people, Su Ning's first reaction was not joy.
Just like Gu Zhixing worried about Gu Xiao back then, adults often think more than children. Interactions with such a huge disparity in status might not necessarily be a good thing.
"Don't worry, Xiao Xiao is there, isn't she? Xiao Xiao has been mature since she was little. She must have already considered the things you are worried about."
Since Gu Xiao invited Lu Li to go together, it meant the matter was within Gu Xiao's control. This was the image Gu Xiao had established among those around her since childhood.
Although Gu Xiao appeared very lively on the surface, she was a very steady person on the inside.
"As for telling Xiao Li about the Jing Family, let's follow Xiao Xiao's arrangement."
Since Gu Xiao had already decided, they didn't need to interfere anymore. At most, they should remind Lu Li to be polite when visiting someone else's home.
Putting everything else aside, Lu Yong was very confident in his child regarding manners and social interaction.
"I see."
Hearing Lu Yong's words, Su Ning gradually felt relieved.
Because things were exactly as Lu Yong said: apart from a brief rebellious period in her childhood, Gu Xiao truly never did anything reckless... A few days later, both Gu Xiao's family and Lu Li's family became busy.
Since the children successfully passed the entrance exam to the Professional Academy, they naturally had to hold a Celebration Banquet.
Since the Professional Academy they got into was a national top-tier Professional Academy like Star Sea Academy, the Celebration Banquet naturally had to be grand.
Gu Zhixing not only invited relatives and friends but also his regular customers from the shop. Anyone who was free was welcome to come and eat.
After a whole day of standing at the entrance greeting guests, Gu Xiao's face was stiff from smiling.
Fortunately, her Remembrance was astonishing in this life. She could remember all her relatives and friends, and whenever someone entered, she would proactively greet them, fully displaying the image of a good girl.
Thinking back to her previous life, she had moved to the County Town when she was young and only returned to her hometown during holidays. She couldn't name many relatives and had to wait for her parents beside her to inform her of their names.
It wasn't that she was impolite; she genuinely forgot their names.
It is worth mentioning that every time Gu Xiao greeted someone, the response from the other party included the phrase "Little Top Scorer."
How should she put it? It felt great.
She was now someone who had become a Top Scorer. With a perfect score on the Professional trial, she was definitely the Top Scorer, not just in Yunqi City, but throughout the entire Southeast Region, and even all of Tianyuan City.
Before, she always watched others shine brightly, but now it was finally her turn.
