Seeing the unfamiliar Ji Mo Ya on the verge of crying, the baby seems to have sensed something and revealed a toothless smile in reaction.
Ji Mo Ya reacted unconsciously; smiling in return, he was feeling awkward as he squatted there and did not know what to do next.
The baby waited for a long time but still did not manage to get the sweet taste he wanted. Even though the person in front of him gave him a natural and pleasant feeling, it was not enough to help him resist the hunger he was feeling. The baby opened his mouth and started crying.
The crying was soft and he sounded like a kitten due to his weak body.
Ji Mo Ya felt his heart ached when he heard the crying and he quickly went to bring Sage Cai over: “Ancestral Uncle, what happened to the child? Is he feeling discomfort?”
Sage Cai nearly rolled his eyes.
He found it a pain to his eyes when he saw this fool-like behavior from a parent immersed in the contentment of having a child and blandly replied: “He is hungry. Take that Thousand-Year Tuckahoe Herb Powder on the table and mixed it with cow milk to feed him.”
A flustered Ji Mo Ya quickly mixed the herb with milk and fed the baby carefully with a small spoon. The baby has been nursed with care since the day he had received the news; although the baby looked weak, he was very voracious and big appetite when he was eating.
The bowl of milk and Tuckahoe Herb Powder was cleaned out before he went to sleep, satisfied.
Ji Mo Ya continued to watch the baby for a long time before he formally kneeled in front of Sage Cai and gave a big bow.
He was really grateful to his Ancestral Uncle, for saving the baby, for saving his family!
Sage Cai waved his hand: “It’s fine. This is also because the Sages blessed us and heaven took pity, watching over our Ji Mo Clan. It will be fine to take the baby away after a few days, I will pass you the formula for the medicinal bath, make sure he soaks in it daily and that he will be nursed using medicinal soup. Once he crossed three years of age, there will likely be nothing to worry about.”
Ji Mo Ya felt a wave of relief running through his body. It has been nearly a year since he was weighed down by this heavy pressure of guilt and regret. He could finally let it go today.
He had never told Little Yan about the baby because he was worried about giving her false hope if the baby fails to survive, this would increase the disappointment and sorrow she would experience.
He was also worried that the Bai Li Clan would come and snatch the child away!
The two clans were already not in a good relationship; the Crazy Sage, one with no morals, would likely do anything to get the child.
That was why Ji Mo Ya kept quiet about this throughout.
After bidding Sage Cai his farewells, Ji Mo Ya went back to his courtyard house. For the first time, he was in the mood to drink a flask of wine and have a dreamless sweet sleep after that.

On the other side.
The Bai Li Clan had announced the news of accepting the Shang Qiu Clan’s marriage proposal, the Shang Qiu Clan members quickly went back to prepare the betrothal gifts.
As for the rest, seeing that the matter has been set in stone, they also quickly departed.
Bai Chen Feng’s face was extremely ugly as he locked himself inside the room.
He did not understand why the Bai Li Clan did not choose him; he was the Crown Prince and future emperor of Hanging Cloud Empire and has the cultivation of a Mystic Spirit Master as well.
Where did he lose out?
Little Yan finally broke up with Ji Mo Ya, presenting him with an opportunity, yet the Bai Li Clan cut off his hope.
They deserve to die! The enraged eyes of Bai Chen Feng darkened and turned into slits.
The sign of demonizing.
“Knock Knock…” Nan Gong Bei Chen’s voice came from outside the door: “Brother Bai, are you in?”
Bai Chen Feng was suddenly startled awake and he retracted his energy while doing his best to calm down before replying: “Yes, come in.”
