Li Baoping didn't like to speak when she was eating.

Pei Qian didn't dare to speak.

Thus, it was mainly Li Huai making noise and showing off. Little Baoping glared at him several times. He was explaining many things about the academy, so how could she repeat these things to her junior uncle again in the future?

Li Huai bobbed his head around and continued to impudently provoke Li Baoping. This was called being resigned to one's fate and going all out. After all, he knew that he would definitely be punished by Li Baoping in the future.

Chen Ping'an didn't speak much, and he ate slowly as always. He spent more of his time putting food in the three children's bowls.

"Chen Ping'an, why have you suddenly changed your get-up?" Li Huai suddenly asked. "Where are your straw sandals? You need to be careful as it's difficult to transition from extravagance to frugality..."

However, Li Huai immediately bent over and howled in agony before he could even finish speaking.

Li Baoping and Pei Qian had both rewarded him with a kick under the table.

Chen Ping'an smiled and said, "Truth be told, I did think about this before, and I did consider changing into my old clothes and straw sandals while I was making my way to the academy. However, I was afraid of embarrassing you guys. Moreover, I'm dressed like this because one needs to be very careful when traveling around the cultivation world. This Dao robe, Golden Sweet Wine, can also aid my cultivation, so I've already become accustomed to wearing it. However, I won't find my clothes from before uncomfortable either."

Li Huai bared his teeth and said, "Chen Ping'an, I could barely recognize you outside the classroom just then. You've grown a lot taller, and you're nowhere near as tanned as before either. I'm not accustomed to this."

"On the other hand, you haven't changed much at all, Li Huai. You still feel tired and fall asleep when reading, don't you?" Chen Ping'an asked in amusement.
