Gu Xijiu quickly lifted her head and looked at Mr. Fuyi. "Nian... Nianmo?"Mr. Fuyi s.h.i.+fted his gaze to her. "Yes?"
Gu Xijiu continued, "How can you be so tall when you"re just six years old? Did you take any medicine to do so?"
Certainly, that was Shen Nianmo. He looked at Gu Xijiu with a sparkling eye. "Did you know me before this?"
"Why not?! I even gave you a birthday present on your first birthday! You were just as tall as a bean sprout at that time. I could not believe that you"ve grown up so much in such a short time! You even know how to flirt now!"
Anyway, all of his junior apprentices were older than him, why would they willingly address him as Eldest Senior? That was the reason she did not think that he was Shen Nianmo!
Gu Xijiu could not stop cursing silently. It was indeed beyond her expectation.
"Was it a norm for a child to turn into an adult in just six years? Was his gene mutated…?"
Gu Xijiu was once warned to distance herself from the people in that world; hence, she did not want to disclose her true ident.i.ty now. Therefore, she did not say much but smiled. "Your Highness is generally famous in our world."
Thus, it was common for her to know that he was only six years old. In other words, she had indirectly answered his question.
Shen Nianmo slightly twitched his lips. He had very famous parents, but he did not wish to live under their glory. Thus, he always used his nickname when he was away from home.
In that era, people had a first name and also the middle name; the middle name was usually given before adulthood. Shen Nianmo turned into an adult when he was three years old, and he only found that his parents had left a letter to him when he returned to the Fantian Palace.
His unreliable parents had left for a business trip at some other continent again. They wanted him to take good care of himself since they were going for at least a decade. Therefore, his father named him "Fuyi" as his middle name.
His father was a very open-minded person as he claimed that he did not really care about the family name because he used to pick his own family name as well. Therefore, Shen Nianmo did not necessarily have to take his father"s family name. In fact, he could pick "Di" (Emperor), "Huang" (King), or any other name as his family name. He even said "Shen" (Deity) Fuyi was not a good combination.
Shen Nianmo felt that his father did not want him to leverage on the popularity of his family name, which was exclusively given to him.
As a result, Shen Nianmo truly thought that "Di Fuyi" sounded more dominant and elegant than "Huang Fuyi" after a short ponder. Therefore, he always used Di Fuyi as his name when he was out and often got people to address him as Mr. Fuyi.
He has been behaving like an adult in the recent three years; hence, n.o.body treated him like a child as well. Even though he was the youngest in the clan, the way he dealt with everything was even better than the adults! That was the reason all his juniors who were older than him recognized him as their senior. Only his master still called him as "Nianmo." The rest of his juniors addressed him as Eldest Senior.
At that moment, Gu Xijiu had turned into a young girl who looked about 13 to 14 years old; which was almost the same age as Qing Luo. Hence, she was just a little girl in Shen Nianmo"s eyes. However, he felt the way the little girl looked at him was like an aunt looking at a kid...
On the other hand, Si Qing and Heng Qing have seen Gu Xijiu"s appearance before; hence, they were not shocked at all. Their juniors were still in denial.
