"Madam! What a pleasure to have you grace my country and visit with my godchildren!" The Russian President cheerfully greeted Ling Li right after they stepped into the VIP exit.
"Who are your godchildren?" Ling Li asked jokingly with a daughter in her hand.
"Madam, would you deprive me of such a privilege?!" When The Russian President saw Four Eyes, he greeted him as well.
"Hello, my great son-in-law! Welcome to my country!"
Four Eyes was amused by the Russian Presidents high spirit; Four Eyes was carrying one of his daughters.
"Old man, will you let us freeze to death here?" El Padre butt in after all the greetings.
"Ha ha ha ha, no, no. Common, let's get you all in the car." The President finally said.
The Russian President escorted the whole family until they reached their residence.
"I know you are tired and need to rest, so I shall take my leave first. I'll come back later. Call me if you need anything," the President announced after sending them inside the mansion.
"Thank you." Ling Li said politely.
"I will weep if you say that to me again," the President asserted and turned to leave.
Ling Li went inside and carried her daughter to the nursery, where Four Eyes and the nannies were settling the children's things. Ling Li laid her daughter down in the crib.
Four Eyes changed their daughters' clothes to pajamas so they could comfortably sleep further and tucked them in a warmer blanket.
When Ling Li saw the scene, she felt a knot in her heart. She thought Four Eyes was closer to her children than her, and he even knew how to do things around them better than she did.
'I've been a mother of three children, but they are all grown up as adults. I have forgotten how to care for infants after all these years.' Ling Li is reminiscing about her three children.
After Four Eyes tucked the twins to sleep, he saw Ling Li leaning by the door in dazed.
"You look lost in your thoughts; what are you thinking? Four Eyes asked, rubbing Ling Li's head.
"Thank you." Ling Li whispered to Four Eyes.
"For taking care and loving our children very much. I've been slacking off and haven't been doing well as their mother. But you are always beside the children and doing great with them. Thank you." Ling Li mumbled with a tear in her eyes.
Four Eyes shuffled her hair. "Is there a need to thank me? And who said you're not doing well?" He kissed Ling Li.
"Let's rest." Four Eyes said while taking her hand. "Where is our room?"
"Right beside our children's room." Ling Li said, pointing to the room right beside them.
"That's good." Four Eyes grabbed her hand, and they both entered.
Four Eyes told Ling Li, "Just change your clothes and don't take a bath for now. Your body is too tired, and it's too cold. You rest first." Four Eyes took some clothes from their suitcases and gave them to her to change into while he went to the bathroom to shower.
When Four Eyes came out, Ling Li was already deep in her sleep. He laid down and put her around his arm. As he was about to close his eyes, he realized the bed was moving. 'It's a waterbed,' he thought. It made Four Eyes smile from ear to ear. But for now, he adjusted the temperature to make it warmer and put Ling Li back on his arm, closing his eyes with a bright, shining smile.
It was almost lunch when Ling Li and Four Eyes woke up. When they came down, everyone was chatting and waiting for their food in the dining hall.
"Here they are," Chatty announced.
"Madam, all the tutors have arrived," Mushu informed Ling, and she acknowledged him by nodding her head and sitting with Four Eyes.
"Madam, I will be heading back tomorrow to my headquarters." El Capitan said courteously.
"Sure, El Padre has kept you too long beside him." Ling Li replied.
"Not a problem at all. Business runs even without me." El Capitan said confidently.
"I'm also returning, but I heard you will visit the camp. I'd like to see it with you before I return." El Padre explained.
"I don't plan to go. I will send Mushu and Pharsa only to escort and train Chu Yan and Murphy. If Quan Ye wants to join them, I won't deny him the privilege." Ling Li clarified.
"Quan Ye, Chu Yan is Madam's husband, and Murphy is Pharsas' future; what about you? You are only their friend, and you are still an outsider. We never train outsiders like you at our camp.
I will regard you as a fool if you do not seize this opportunity! We've played together before, and I consider you a friend, so I'm literally telling you this." El Capitan told Fatty directly to his face.
"I couldn't agree more." El Padre said, looking at Quan Ye.
"Did you all go through that training?" Fatty asked.
"Yes." Ling Li, Pharsa, Mushu, El Padre, and El Capitan simultaneously answered him.
The three men were stupefied as they looked at each other.
"What kind of training is it?" Chatty inquired, raising his hand like a kid.
"It will be composed of different types of training," Mushu affirmed. "As you go along, it gets harder. The harder it gets, the better you become. You should not lose hope. You should know how to fight your fear."
This information is the least Mushu can tell; he is afraid to mention their training in the Hidden Valley and becoming an inner disciple, Mushu is worried these young gentlemen will be shocked.
"You mean we will get beaten?" Chatty inquired with an unsteady voice.
"You will be training mentally, psychologically, and especially physically," Mushu explained.
"What do you mean mentally and psychologically?" Fatty asked the question this time.
Mushu doesn't blame them for being anxious. He understands their inquiries and patiently answers them. Ling Li knows Mushu can handle everything and calmly leaves it to him.
"You saw what happened in your office last time, right?" Mushu looks at Fatty, waiting for his reply.
Fatty nodded.
