For their daily disturbances, Li Nuo didn't take it to heart, idleness was also idleness, he might as well consider it his contribution to the mathematical development of Daxia.

"A small Mid-Autumn gift, not worth much, please accept it, Mr. Li."

Today, when several people left, they left behind several exquisite food boxes, Song Mu'er opened them to take a look, and said, "Brother Li Nuo, it's mooncakes..."

Today was Mid-Autumn Festival, and throughout the Song Residence, festive lanterns hung in abundance, creating a holiday atmosphere.

Li Nuo had arrived here in mid-July, making this the first festival he was experiencing in this world.

The Mid-Autumn Festival is a very important holiday in Daxia, second only to the Spring Festival.

Starting three days ago, the court began to give officials holidays, which would end two days after the festival.

Originally, Li Nuo's cultivation had hit a bottleneck, and with the government holiday coinciding, these past few days he seemed to have nothing to do.

The mooncakes gifted by the several old masters tasted quite good; he had two pieces. Housekeeper Wu walked in from outside, saying, "Young master, today is Mid-Autumn. Are you and the young mistress going back home?"

Li Nuo thought for a moment and said, "Let's go."

At other times, it might not matter, but Mid-Autumn Festival was a day for family reunions, and in the evening, families usually had a reunion dinner. As an outsider, spending Mid-Autumn Festival with the Song Family didn't seem quite right. His gaze turned towards Song Jiaren, who nodded slightly.

Li Nuo noticed that there had been a big change in his wife these days.

She was almost like a different person compared to when they first met.

Ever since Li Nuo had troubled those old men to stand up for her and gave her those two paintings, she had become much gentler towards him.

Or perhaps she was always this gentle, and the aloof heroine of daily life was just her superficial disguise.

Of course, her gentle side was also something he had earned by putting himself in her shoes.

Song Mu'er grabbed Li Nuo's hand and said, "Brother Li Nuo, after dinner tonight, can we go to the lantern fair? I hear it's really bustling in the evening..."

Before Li Nuo said anything, Housekeeper Wu hurriedly said, "Young master, that really isn't advisable. There will be too many people out tonight. You and the young mistress should stay home and enjoy the moon..."

Li Nuo could understand Housekeeper Wu.

He wasn't just going out on his own; he had untold numbers of bodyguards, both visible and hidden. Usually, it was fine, but on such a grand festival, the streets would certainly be overflowing with people, causing a great deal of stress for security.

Better not to trouble Housekeeper Wu.

And it was also being responsible for his own life, after all, in a crowd where people are jostling against each other, if an assassin mixed in and struck him with a knife, he wouldn't even be able to spot the person...

What lantern fair? Enjoying the moon was also very good.

When he and his wife were preparing to return to the Li Family, they passed by Uncle Song Hao's courtyard and saw a middle-aged woman standing in the yard.

This tutor had been hired by the Song Family from outside to teach Song Ning'er martial arts.

Her age was around forty, with cultivation in the True Qi Realm, coming to the Song Residence every day to teach Ning'er for one two-hour period.

A few days ago, Ning'er suddenly made a fuss to practice the Martial Path. Her mother initially wanted to ask Jiaren to teach her, and Jiaren agreed, but Ning'er herself was not willing.

Thus, left with no choice, the family had to find her a tutor from outside.

The hardships of the Martial Path were not something any ordinary person could endure.

Including Li Nuo, everyone thought she was just having a momentary enthusiasm and would give up after a day.

Ning'er had tried to practice the Martial Path many times before, but each time she had given up before even one day had passed.

However, this time seemed to be different; this was already her third day of persistence.

Even Li Nuo started to look at her in a new light.

Zhang Yun, as Ning'er's Martial Path Master, was especially fond of this little girl with exceptional talent.

She herself showed extraordinary talent in the Martial Path when she was younger, reaching the peak of the True Qi Realm by the age of thirty, just one step away from the Object Manipulation Realm.

But it was this one step that she had struggled to take for ten years without success.

Perhaps in a few years, she would naturally achieve a breakthrough, but even so, it wouldn't hold much significance, as she would never touch the higher realms in this lifetime.

Therefore, she had extinguished the desire to pursue the Martial Path long ago, now running a martial arts school for women in Chang'an, specially teaching the daughters of prominent families, responsible for their initial enlightenment in the Martial Path.

These noble daughters generally wouldn't delve deeply into cultivation, but if they had a foundation in the Martial Path, they would also learn a bit of martial arts for self-defense.

Their families were usually generous with their money, and for teaching these young ladies of the Song Family, she was paid ten taels for each two-hour session.

The young Miss Song Ning'er from the Song Family not only had outstanding natural talent for the Martial Path but also showed noticeable improvement in her strength almost every day.

It was clear that she had put in a substantial amount of hard work outside of her daily Martial Path lessons.

Zhang Yun even doubted whether this child had been taught by her at all.

In both the speed of her progress and her capacity for comprehension, she outstripped her peers of the same age from the noble families, a rarity in Zhang Yun's experience.

Having finished today's lesson and accepted her payment, Zhang Yun walked out of the Song Residence, considering whether her teaching skills had improved and whether she ought to raise her rates for future assignments.

Never mind, best not think about that for now—today was the Mid-Autumn Festival, after all. After teaching for another two-hour session at the Chen Mansion, she would be able to go home for a family reunion dinner.

After the Martial Path class ended, unlike usual, Song Ning'er didn't go to swing on the swings or play shuttlecock; instead, she ran to an abandoned courtyard in the Song Residence. Once inside and the gate closed, she whispered, "Sister Mentor, Sister Mentor, are you here?"

A figure emerged from behind a tree, handing her a candied haw and said, "Eat this, and I'll teach you a Body Technique. Once you learn it, you'll be able to do a somersault on the spot."

Biting into the candied haw, Song Ning'er looked up at her and said, "Sister Mentor, you're so good to me."

In fact, she was also fond of Sister Jiaren, but because Song Mu'er was always close with Sister Jiaren, Ning'er just couldn't draw close to her.

Brother Li Nuo had also been quite nice to her; even after the way she had treated him before, he still drew pictures for her. Ning'er liked him in her heart, but he was even nicer to Song Mu'er.

Only Sister Mentor was good to her alone, something Song Mu'er couldn't take away.

Moments later, sounds came from inside the courtyard.

Occasionally, servants of the Song Family would pass by outside and hear noises from within, but they would only pause for a moment before carrying on as if nothing happened.

This courtyard was a secret area demarcated by Miss Ning'er, where no one was allowed entry while she was inside.

Miss Ning'er was far more boisterous than Miss Mumu, and regarding the young lady's commands, the servants of the Song Residence dared not disobey.

Inside the courtyard, Song Ning'er performed an effortless somersault on the spot, her young face beaming with joy.

The veiled woman, leaning lazily against a tree in the yard, asked, "Why are you so eager to learn how to do a somersault?"

Song Ning'er honestly replied, "Once I've learned to do a somersault, I can pretend to be Song Mu'er in front of Brother Li Nuo..."

Whenever Song Ning'er spoke about Li Nuo, it was as if she couldn't stop herself, "Brother Li Nuo is so amazing; no difficult question can stump him, and he can draw too—his drawings are both lifelike and beautiful..."

The woman indifferently responded, "Song Jiaren's husband, isn't he a fool?"

Song Ning'er quickly shushed her, "Hush, he's not a fool at all, Sister Mentor, keep your voice down. You mustn't let him hear, or he won't play with you anymore..."

Ning'er was filled with regret for the wrong she had once done.

But soon, she was distracted by something else.

Seeing Sister Mentor seemingly lost in thought, Ning'er quietly crouched down and leaned over, as if trying to glimpse the face hidden behind the Curtain.

But even as her gaze managed to penetrate the Curtain's sheer fabric, it was still obstructed by a moon-white veil underneath.

The woman noticed Ning'er's peeking and pressed the Curtain down a bit.

Having been caught spying, Ning'er immediately stood up, adeptly changing the topic, "Today is the Mid-Autumn Festival. Sister Mentor, won't you go home to see your family?"

The mysterious woman looked into the distance and after a long silence, said, "I have no family."

How could someone not have a family?

Instinctively feeling sorry for Sister Mentor, Ning'er couldn't believe she was without a family.

She took Sister Mentor's hand and said, "Then later tonight, I'll secretly bring you some mooncakes to eat; we can watch the moon together..."
