The Landlord's Silly Child

Tang Duoduo and Tang Doudou were brought to Fengxi Sect and taken directly to the outer sect.

"Duoduo, Doudou, cultivate well here and strive to enter the inner sect as soon as possible. Then you'll have the chance to be taken as disciples by the elders," Wenwen reminded.

"We know, thank you both sisters," Tang Doudou said sweetly.

Wenwen pinched his cheek: "So obedient."

After the two left, Tang Duoduo excitedly said, "From now on I'm an immortal, I want to be a female hero, traveling the world with my sword."

Tang Doudou was completely uninterested: "I still prefer dad's lifestyle. When I grow up, I'll go back and marry Xiao Hua, no longer cultivating immortality."

Tang Duoduo scolded him, "You useless thing, all you think about day and night is marrying Xiao Hua, can't you think of anything else?"

Tang Doudou retorted, "I also think about letting dad hold his grandchild sooner."

Tang Duoduo slapped him on the head: "I really ought to slap you to death, can't you have some ambition?"

Tang Doudou complained, "I don't want ambition, what's wrong with that? Why must I have ambition?"

"Do you want others to look down on you?"

"I'll just stay in the village without going out, who will look down on me?"

Tang Duoduo was rendered speechless by her brother: "Then you can be a useless nobody for the rest of your life!"

Tang Doudou shamelessly agreed: "Sure!"

A senior disciple walked over: "Junior brothers and sister, I'm your senior apprentice brother. Come with me to register and collect your things."

"Thank you, senior apprentice brother," they greeted respectfully.

"It's my duty, come with me!"

"Okay."

Under the senior disciple's lead, they soon finished registering and collected outer sect disciples' supplies.

"Now let's go find an elder to arrange your accommodation," the senior disciple said.

"Alright, senior apprentice brother."

They went to the elder in charge of disciples' housing: "Elder, these are new disciples, please arrange a yard for them."

"One yard? Are they siblings?"

"Yes."

The elder thought for a while: "Okay then. After all, living with strangers can lead to many conflicts."

The elder then flipped through his record book: "You can have yard number 56 in section A!"

After thanking the elder, the three headed to the residential area.

Upon arriving at yard 56 section A, the senior disciple opened the gate: "This will be your residence. It has everything inside. Go to the dining hall for meals, just ask around where it is."

"Thank you, senior apprentice brother," they said gratefully.

"You're welcome. Settle down, elders will start teaching you cultivation techniques tomorrow. I need to receive other new disciples, I'll take my leave first."

They quickly bowed: "Travel safely, senior apprentice brother."

"Go on inside!"

After the senior disciple left, they went inside carrying their belongings.

The yard wasn't big, but the layout was great, with a pavilion and a fruit tree inside.

There was a stone table and four stone stools in the pavilion, with a chessboard carved on the table.

The big fruit tree had obviously been pruned so as not to block sunlight from the room.

Opening the door revealed a living room, with a bedroom on each side and tables, chairs and benches aplenty.

Tang Duoduo exclaimed, "Is this the might of an immortal sect? Even outer disciples get such nice quarters!"

Tang Doudou grumbled, "I still prefer home."

"Nobody asked for your opinion!"

Tang Doudou covered his mouth, indicating he wouldn't speak anymore.

They entered the bedroom and Tang Duoduo immediately jumped up, "This bedroom is huge! It's a study and bedroom combined!"

"Look at this bed, look at the bookshelf and books on it."

She picked one up at random: "Basics of Pill Concoction."

Then another one: "History of Fengxi Sect's Growth."

Tang Doudou became interested: "Sis, let me see that one."

Tang Duoduo threw him the book and he started reading eagerly.

Meanwhile, Tang Duoduo began making beds and cleaning, only to find everything spotless already.

She exclaimed in shock but Tang Doudou was too immersed in his book to notice.

When Tang Duoduo calmed down she asked: "Bro, what's so interesting?"

"Turns out our previous sect leader was so powerful! He had the same name as dad too," Tang Doudou replied, engrossed.

Tang Duoduo's interest was piqued: "Tell me about it!"

Tang Doudou closed the book and started recounting its contents.

"This book only records how the previous sect leader developed Fengxi Sect from a second-rate sect into one that dominated the entire Middle State."

"Now Fengxi Sect's leader is the Eastern State's Saint Ruler, who was the previous leader's sister."

"Now Fengxi Sect is also known as the Holy Land."

Tang Duoduo didn't care about all that. She asked, "What I mean is, how did the previous leader share dad's name?"

Tang Doudou spread his hands helplessly: "How would I know? Don't go thinking dad was that sect leader, he self-detonated and died."

Tang Duoduo sighed, "Ah, and here I thought we were some prestigious sect's descendants! Turns out we're still country bumpkins."

Tang Doudou retorted, "At least country squires have servant girls waiting on them, dad's the only one serving us."

"If mom didn't refuse we'd definitely have servants too!" Tang Duoduo seemed quite concerned about their background.

She grabbed the book from Tang Doudou's hands and started reading enthusiastically, liking it more and more.

"Keep reading, I'll go tidy up," Tang Doudou said.

Tang Duoduo ignored him, completely immersed in the book.

Only when he called her for dinner did she put it down: "I've decided, in future I'll become sect leader and conquer the world!"

"You don't want to be a female hero anymore?"

"Female heroes lack ambition. I want to be like Tang the Sect Leader, challenging the whole world. That's more fitting for my status."

Tang Doudou said helplessly, "Whatever makes you happy. Let's go eat!"

"Alright."

The two kids followed some senior sisters to the dining hall.

The dining hall was unimaginably huge, with every food you could want.

Of course not all dishes were free, many cost money.

"Sis, we should just eat the free stuff. No need to waste money on unreliable food," Tang Doudou said prudently, always saving whenever possible and refusing to overspend.

Tang Duoduo was the opposite, liking to spend for face value regardless of value for money.

"Is this about being full? It's about face! I don't want others looking down on me."

Tang Doudou grumbled, "You and mom are the money-wasters dad complains about, just spending away."

"Quiet, or people will think you're mute!"

"Oh!"

Kids like competing over the strangest things.

When they sat down, some children around their age who had just entered the sect sat at a nearby table.

Away from parents, children run wild, buying whatever food they want without planning prudently.

The kids at the next table were obviously from well-off families, their table piled high with treats.

They were chatting and laughing together, with no mocking or belittling anyone.

Yet Tang Duoduo took offense, convinced they were deliberately provoking and mocking her.

She banged the table: "What are you laughing about?"

The kids were baffled: "We were just talking about some happy stuff!"

"What happy stuff makes you laugh so loudly?"

Tang Doudou tugged at her clothes and whispered: "They're very soft-spoken!"

But Tang Duoduo insisted they were mocking her: "Are you making fun of me?"

One child said impatiently: "What's wrong with you? Not worth my time."

Tang Duoduo grabbed a plate off the table and smashed it towards them.

And so Tang Duoduo's side battled the other six.
