The Legends: The Tale of Immortality
Chapter 79: Playing (2)

The little Yue Qing Ye who was only two years old had a look of confusion when she heard the answer of her nanny girl.

Play?

That word was very foreign to little Yue Qing Ye. He had learned so many things from his teacher, yet this term 'play' was not something he had ever heard.

Little Yue Qing Ye lowered her head slightly and fell in deep contemplation, the tiny two-year-old baby tried to explore all the knowledge he had learned but he still could not figure out the meaning of the word 'play' mentioned by his caregiver. He has a very good memory and is able to memorize everything he learns without forgetting it, so that means this word 'play' must never be taught to him.

Little Yue Qing Ye had always instilled the idea to appear perfect and had to be able to understand everything, which was why the little baby firmly raised his head and asked his nanny, "What does the word 'play' mean'?"

The teenage girl froze. This time Yue Qing Ye could feel the awkwardness on her nanny. He held the dagger in his hand even tighter, yet his face did not change. Instead the teenage girl had seen all the movements of her young master and sadness suddenly rose into her eyes.

The nanny girl knew that the little Yue Qing Ye she was serving had never really put herself into the category of a trustworthy person. Yue Qing Ye's actions though faint, yet would not escape the eyes of that girl who was a cultivator.

The girl did not answer Yue Qing Ye's question, yet she made a bold move that was never allowed to her.

Little Yue Qing Ye further raised her vigilance when she saw the strangeness of her nanny. When the girl approached her she was wide-eyed and was about to pull her dagger, yet something astonishing happened.

The babysitter hugged herself tightly and attached her baby's entire body to the body of the teen. A thought flashed across little Yue Qing Ye's mind, could it be that her nanny would betray her? Will he kill her by strangling her?

However, unexpectedly the nanny did nothing to show any signs of harming her. The girl hugged the little Yue Qing Ye and rubbed the child's back gently.

Little Yue Qing Ye was stunned by such gentle action. He had seen others treat each other with this kind of action, yet that action was only reserved for the other clan members. The action means tenderness that indicates weakness.

Yue Qing Ye was not allowed to show such emotions of weakness, she was perplexed by the sudden offense committed by her nanny girl. Usually the clan members who acted impolitely would be punished by the rules of the clan. Now Yue Qing Ye was supposed to withdraw and impose punishment against the offense committed by her nanny, yet somehow she could not bear to do so.

Her nanny girl is a subordinate who is very obedient and obedient in her usual day. It was very confusing as to why this fellow had suddenly committed an offense like this. This was also her nanny's first offense so Yue Qing Ye also did not really want to punish her nanny with severe punishment.

As soon as this thought appeared, little Yue Qing Ye pursed her lips with strands of disappointment emanating in both of her pupils. He was still too soft, he was still weak. If both his parents saw his weakness, they would definitely be very disappointed in him.

Under conflicting emotions, the two-year-old little baby opened her tiny lips and in a cold childish tone, she rebuked, "What are you doing? Let go quickly, or you'll be punished by clan rules."

The teenage girl slightly flinched before pulling back her embrace with an expression that came back obedient as usual. Little Yue Qing Ye wanted to say cold words, yet the words she prepared got stuck in her throat as she looked at the red traces that appeared on both ends of her nanny girl's eyes.

Confusion practically crept on Yue Qing Ye's face, this was the first time she had seen her nanny cry. The little boy pursed his lips flat, complicated emotions rising in both pupils of his eyes.

"Why are you crying?

Well, why is the babysitter crying. He didn't really want to impose punishment on his nanny, though, but even if punished at most he would only let his nanny record the rules of the clan a hundred times and hide the offenses of his caretaker from both his parents and other adults.

Her nanny girl would not get any severe punishment and leave her side, so why was she crying?

The little Yue Qing Ye who had been instilled by all sciences, but not with compassion and empathy do not understand why the nanny who is always strong and never shows weakness will appear with a weak state like this in front of him.

"Why are you crying? I haven't even punished you yet. Don't worry, because that was your first offense I'll turn a blind eye to what happened. Don't repeat anymore," said little Yue Qing Ye with a serious face that shouldn't appear on a child's expression.

Yue Qing Ye was getting more and more distracted. He had already shown a clear sense of displeasure in his pair of black pupils. Her small face that had the chubby baby fat showed a cold expression that was not appropriate for her age.

"Stop. Why are you suddenly so weak?" asked Yue Qing Ye seriously. With the current state of nurturing, there was no way he would be able to return. They cannot allow others to see the state of their caregiver or caregiver will attract the suspicion of others and will accept punishment for their weakness.

As little Yue Qing Ye felt frustrated for the first time, her nanny wiped the tears from both corners of her eyes before smiling.

This time little Yue Qing Ye was even more confused. Just now her nanny was crying bitterly and showing a weakness she had never shown, but now this nanny was making a smiley face instead?

Why did her nanny's face change like that?

Yue Qing Ye was not the type of child who would harbor her curiosity. He would never allow his ignorance to be submerged just like that, only when he knew what was happening around him would he still be able to cope with the various situations that occurred.

"Why are you crying and laughing? Are you sick?" little Yue Qing Ye asked seriously.

From what he learned, the pain that arises in living beings is not only physical pain, but also mental pain. Yue Qing Ye still did not really understand the meaning of mental pain, but she knew that mental illness could make living beings hurt more severely compared to physical illness. They can go crazy.

He had never seen a madman, but from the explanations recorded in the book, a madman would not be able to control their state of mind and emotions. They will hurt others and themselves.

It was a type of disease that was very difficult to cure and very dangerous.

Yue Qing Ye looked seriously at her nanny, could it be...

The teenage girl who received Yue Qing Ye gaze smiled wryly. How could he not know the thoughts of his little young master? She had always accompanied Yue Qing Ye during her lesson sessions, so naturally she knew what might have crossed her young master's mind.

"Young Master, I'm not sick. I'm just sad."

"Why are you sad?" asked Yue Qing Ye patiently. It would be troublesome if the caregiver had to be replaced. She would not know if others would pose a danger to her, so she preferred to keep her nanny and solve the problem her nanny was thinking about

"Sorry Young Master. I can't tell you the reason for my grief, but I hope Young Master will be happy for once."

Yue Qing Ye was surprised by the words of her nanny. This was a pretty presumptuous intention, her nanny obviously knew that she should not show weakness, but her nanny instead told her to be happy?

"No. I can't be weak," said the little Yue Qing Ye firmly.

The babysitter just smiled and said, "Young Master, about the word play, I can't explain the definition clearly. So the Young Master had to figure out for himself the meaning of the word."

Yue Qing Ye looked coldly at her nanny with an undisguised vexation, yet her nanny had returned to her usual professional condition and cleared her throat slowly before coming out of their hiding place.

Little Yue Qing Ye looked at the back of her nanny as the girl went to the place where a group of children were throwing snow and stopped their actions to talk to them.

The two-year-old, who was given a new assignment to figure out a term she did not understand, had clearly remembered the word.

'Play.'
