Assassin Dad and His Genius Daughter-Chapter 73 Testing

Ren Ye casually scrolled down on his phone as he raised his head to look at the young girl in front of him before lowering them on his phone, he rubbed his lips and fidgeted.

"That old man hasn't called me to pick it up yet…"

"Be patient, lad."

Old Yi's voice resounded inside his head as Ren Ye gradually relaxed in his chair, clenching his fists.

Ren Jia suddenly raised her head and offered him a spoonful of strawberry-flavored ice cream as she took note of his tense expression.

She curled her lips into a contagious smile as she called out, "Papa, have some!"

Ren Ye's eyes trembled as he looked around his surrounding for a couple of minutes before lowering his head to snatch onto the ice cream, instantly soothing his teeth.

He nodded his head as he swallowed the ice cream, and he patted the little girl on her forehead. The little girl slightly bopped her head as she was being patted by her Papa's heavy hands.

Although the pat appeared rough to others, only Ren Jia was able to tell her Papa was being utmost gentle with her.

Peep!

A honk sounded loudly causing the ground to shake intensely Ren Ye suddenly stood up and turned to look at an SUV beside the cafe shop, an elderly man casually waved his hands.

"…"

"He actually came all this way to this place just to deliver me the Blueroots Ginseng…," Ren Ye was caught off guard as he shook his head and Gong Fan eventually approached him with a black suitcase, which Ren Ye assumed to be the expensive items he bought.

"That was quick of you," Ren Ye commented indifferently as Gong Fan curled his eyes at him before turning to look at the little girl beside him.

"Who must this be?" Gong Fan asked upon seeing the little girl's curious eyes.

"My daughter," Ren Ye replied calmly as he lowered his eyes to look at the suitcase before raising the corner of his lips sarcastically, "You came prepared?"

"I am dropping off the orders my clients ordered," Gong Fan sighed tirelessly as he extended the box toward him, "My granddaughter spotted you at the distance and we decided to hand it here."

"…"

Ren Ye felt this was a scheme of his upon hearing the pretense behind his words, his temples twitched slightly.

Carrying a suitcase filled with one of the most valuable roots in the world was almost like a temptation to thieves in the daylight.

After a couple of exchanges, Gong Fan hurried off to drop off more orders.

Ren Ye casually bought Ren Jia to look at a couple of kindergartens. A couple of days ago, Jing Xue took Ren Jia around the city in hopes to find a kindergarten for her.

However, Ren Ye felt Ren Jia was too young to enter kindergarten; not wanting his daughter to be bullied by other peers and wanted to raise her under his wings completely.

Ren Jia turned to look at her Papa whilst walking, "Papa, Sister Ling told me I should study with her."

Ren Ye paused his typing as he raised his eyebrows, "Hmm? What are your thoughts on it?"

"Papa said before that I should try to be closer to someone like Sister Ling! Why don't Papa let me come and study with her?" The little girl raised her contagious smile toward him.

"Mama even said so too!"

Ren Ye nodded his head and thought about it, "I will have to think about it first."

It was indeed true that Ren Ye felt Ren Jia should try to get along with kids her age but as a father, he didn't put his daughter's education in someone's hands, especially at a young age.

Brainwashing was a common theme in schools and monasteries back in his days.

If Jing Xue knew what he was thinking about, she wouldn't hesitate to take a taxi and come here to smack some sense into him.

Ren Ye chuckled bitterly as he shook his head.

I have to give Ma Zheng an answer before next week, I will have to call it a day first.

Ren Ye went back to Jing Xue's residence with Ren Jia.

Upon arriving at the villa, he was greeted with a darkened environment as he recalled Jing Xue had given the butler and the servants a holiday for a day.

Ren Jia silently slept in his arms as she pressed her face against his chest in a spoiled manner, Ren Ye patted her head gently as he lowered his eyes coldly.

He placed her on the bed and casually sat beside the bed.

"Jing Xue won't likely return anytime soon, I have a lot of time to explore newfound powers."

[Ice Concealment] mented inside his head.

Old Yi seemed to agree, "It adjusted to your strength, therefore allowing the wielder to be more compatible with it in battle."

"Or else, a weak wielder may die having to lift it off the ground before the battle even starts," Old Yi chuckled. ｆ𝘳e𝒆w𝗲𝐛𝘯𝐨νe𝚕.cｏ𝓶

"I believe as I power up, the halberd will be able to level up as well," Ren Ye recalled the information he had read before about it.

Old Yi hummed loudly inside his head.

"Good, now I have a reason to hurry my progress."

Ren Ye casually made his way to the bathroom and made the halberd disappear naturally, giving him relief as it gave him assurance that he wouldn't have to spend two minutes having to put out a show of taking out his weapon.

Ren Ye opened up the mission tab.

[Side Mission: Advance to Phase II]

[Details: The Energy within the User is raging chaotically and requires management. In order to balance out the energy from spreading to other parts of the soul, the User must take on another mission.]

[Requirements: Blueroots Ginseng and Ice Entrancing Potion]

"I have the Ginseng roots now but the Ice Entrancing Potion…"

He recalled he had used it up before, he frowned as he took out the bottle from his inventory. He put out the lid and slowly poured it onto his fist.

Only a single drop fell on his palm. 𝐟𝙧ee𝔀e𝐛𝓃𝐨𝚟𝑒𝗹.c𝗼𝚖

"…"

"I have to extract it from myself now…," Ren Ye had a strange expression as Old Yi chuckled loudly inside his head.

"I may have to make a show," Old Yi announced in a dignified voice as he appeared in front of Ren Ye in a formal suit and tie, as though he had been waiting to make an appearance again.

"I remember I have told you before that by using your body constitution, you can extract the energy and turn it into spiritual liquid."

"Back then, you had a strange expression on as you do right now. Whether you believe it or not, the first choice you make always makes a difference in your future as a cultivator."

Old Yi said with a proud face as he pointed at the young man in front of him with sarcastic eyes, "Ice Body."

"Activate it."

Old Yi ordered solemnly as Ren Ye nodded his head and allowed the effects to take place, Ren Ye felt his body had become a block of ice as the weight he was carrying became heavier; filled with enlarging energy as though it was a seed being watered.

The white bluish aura emitted from him, indicating the success of the activation.

Old Yi gestured to Ren Ye with serious eyes as Ren Ye grabbed the bottle with a calm expression.

Ren Ye was accustomed to the pain by now after many times using it. Therefore he wasn't a newcomer as before and could tolerate it for many hours.
