The huge and terrifying giant python with eerie golden eyes stared at Tang Xin for a while, then looked at the scared brother and sister, and after a long time, it slowly retreated back.
After it completely retreated behind the railing and disappeared, the girl named Tang Xin heaved a huge sigh of relief, then turned back angrily and glared at Lin Xiaolu and little Xiaoyu, her beautiful eyes sweeping over the embroideries on their clothes, and coldly shouted:
"How can you two little kids be so reckless, what if you had hurt senior Bauhinia!"
Little Xiaoyu was scolded by the girl, and hid in Lin Xiaolu's arms with tears rolling down her face. Lin Xiaolu was unconvinced and argued slyly: "We got lost and accidentally came in."
Tang Xin glared at him, then seeing the 5 or 6 year old little girl in front of her scared to tears by herself, her heart softened and her tone became a little gentler as she asked: "You are new disciples of Plucking Stars Sect?"
"Yes." Lin Xiaolu curiously asked: "Who are you? What is this place?"
"This is the Spirit Beast Valley at The Demon Peak, it is a place specially used to raise spirit beasts. I am Tang Xin, senior disciple of The Demon Sect."
After speaking, seeing the little sister in front of her still had some wetness in her eyes, Tang Xin stretched out her jade hands with several strings of purple beads on them.
The next second, a magical scene appeared. She slightly curled her fingers, and several beads of light unfolded from between her fingers, converging into a little butterfly that danced gracefully above her fingers.
"Wow!" Little Xiaoyu was immediately attracted by the purple butterfly flying in front of her. She wiped her tears and looked at the butterfly dancing happily in front of her with delight.
The lovely butterfly landed on little Xiaoyu's nose, seemingly playing games with her. Little Xiaoyu's big eyes converged into a single one, watching the little butterfly on her nose.
Seeing the little sister stop crying, Tang Xin asked: "What are your names?"
"I'm Lin Xiaolu."
"I'm... Lin Xiaoyu..."
Tang Xin nodded at their words, then curiously asked: "At your age, why aren't you at Literacy Hall studying, won't your teacher scold you?"
"The teacher didn't scold me, I was the one who scolded the teacher badly, and then I got kicked out." Lin Xiaolu said frankly, his tone still carrying some pride.
Tang Xin was stunned to hear this, staring wide-eyed in disbelief at Lin Xiaolu:
"You actually scolded Mr. Yang?"
"Yes." The boy raised his head arrogantly and continued brazenly: "A classmate scolded me, so I beat him up badly. Mr. Yang blamed me for it, and I wasn't convinced, so I scolded him for being an old fool. That makes sense, right?"
Tang Xin: ...
You little rascal!
Don't you understand respecting teachers and valuing morality!?
She was surprised and stuck out her little tongue, feeling lamented at the Lin Xiaolu in front of her. He's really too arrogant for a new disciple that Plucking Stars Sect has accepted after 20 years!
She said helplessly to Lin Xiaolu: "Little kid, what you did was wrong. When you return, your senior sister Li Miaoxin from Plucking Stars will surely punish you severely."
After speaking, she reached out her hand to Lin Xiaolu: "Let your senior sister take you back to Literacy Hall. You should properly apologize to Mr. Yang, and he will forgive you."
"No." Lin Xiaolu directly turned his head in anger: "I didn't do anything wrong, why should I apologize?
That fool called Chen Nianyun scolded me and my sister as 'little beasts', I'd be letting him off easy if I beat him to death.
That Mr. Yang is supposed to be a scholar, but he blamed me without differentiate right or wrong. Why would I expect to respect someone like that? Respect his grandmother's legs!"
Tang Xin looked at the resentful and rebellious look on the boy's face, and didn't know what to do. She felt this little kid was really... too arrogant.
She smiled helplessly and persuaded: "Little kid, don't get angry. Take your sister back to Plucking Stars Peak now. Miaoxin will surely punish you, then take you to formally apologize to Mr. Yang."
After speaking, she smiled at the siblings: "So, do you want your senior sister to take you back to Literacy Hall, or get punished by your senior sister at Plucking Stars first before she takes you back?"
Lin Xiaolu and Xiaoyu were somewhat confused hearing this, they really hadn't considered this point. Only after hearing Tang Xin say this did they react.
Lin Xiaolu thought about it for a moment, chin raised, then said to Tang Xin: "Then we're not going back."
"Huh?" Tang Xin was surprised.
Lin Xiaolu babbled with his little mouth: "My sister and I will just play here until Shen time (3-5 pm), then we'll go back."
Little Xiaoyu was also excitedly nodding her head, and said in a tender voice: "We'll go play on another mountain peak for a whole day tomorrow morning, then play until Shen time before going back, without telling our senior sister."
Lin Xiaolu put his hands on his waist, threw his head back and laughed loudly: "We'll sneak out to play everyday. Our senior sister will think we've gone to school, just imagining it makes me so happy, hahahaha!"
Little Xiaoyu also imitated him, putting her hands on her waist, throwing her head back, and letting out loud "hahahaha" laughs.
Seeing the two reckless little kids laughing wildly in front of her, Tang Xin was at a complete loss for words for some time.
She felt that ever since meeting this Lin Xiaolu, her worldview had been shattered over and over.
The new disciple of Plucking Stars is really a once in a century prodigy of Emei!
After feeling helpless inwardly, she impatiently said to them: "You two little rascals are totally out of control. Although I, Tang Xin, am not someone from your Plucking Stars sect, I'm still your senior sister in Emei. Today, I'll discipline you two in place of your senior sister Miaoxin."
After speaking, she raised her slim, jade-like fingers, about to teach them a lesson. Lin Xiaolu quickly pulled Xiaoyu to run away upon seeing this, yelling as they ran: "The female demon wants to eat children!"
Tang Xin was surprised. She was the female demon?
The 17 year old girl was instantly so angry her nose went crooked. She felt she must teach this naughty kid a lesson today, and fiercely spank his butt!
Lin Xiaolu pulled Xiaoyu and ran into the dense forest, soon arriving at a small garden full of exotic rocks and strange trees.
Tang Xin leisurely followed behind them and stopped at the edge of the small garden, the corners of her mouth curving into a cold smile as she looked at the six big words carved on a rockery hill in the garden.
These six big words were "Four-handed Spirit Monkey Zone"
At this time, within the garden, amidst the exotic rocks, artificial hills, and all kinds of tall banana trees, Lin Xiaolu and little Xiaoyu's small figures in daoist robes were running very quickly, their legs were short but extremely agile. Soon they reached deep into the garden.
"Little Xiaoyu, there's a small cave hole in this hillside, let's quickly hide in it." Lin Xiaolu said pointing to a small cave hole in the fake hill.
"Okay, big brother."
After receiving the order, little Xiaoyu immediately crawled into the rather cramped cave hole, followed by Lin Xiaolu, also squeezing his little bottom in.
The cave hole was not big, just barely enough for the two children to squeeze inside.
Now the siblings were crouching inside, lying on the grass with big eyes warily watching the outside.
While staring outside, Lin Xiaolu whispered: "Don't be scared little Xiaoyu, the female demon can't get in. Let's pretend we're playing hide and seek with her."
"Mm mm, okay big brother."
After talking to each other, the two started concentrating, anxiously waiting in the cramped space.
