Chapter 3 - Low-key! That's what I should be

"What?" Wang Jing looked at them, stupefied at their words.

"By the way Little Jing, you wanted to sleep didn't you? Come on, I'll accompany you and put you to sleep." Her Aunt- no wait, Sister? Wang Jing didn't know anymore.

"But this- wha- I can't-"

"You'll understand tomorrow." Xi Mei smiled.

"You guys just don't want to bother explaining!" Wang Jing lost it.

"I'll tell you a bed time story. Now off we go!" Xi Mei grabbed Wang Jing by the waist and sprinted off.

Looking at what happened, Jia Li couldn't help but sigh. She wanted to explain if only Xi Mei wasn't taking the spotlight.

"What's with the sigh? You shifted to your original appearance?" An elderly man who came out of thin air asked.

"Greetings Sect Master." Jia Li cupped her fists and bowed respectfully towards the old man.

"Some unexpected things happened when Wang Jing was in town."

"Unexpected things? The Zhou family dared to hurt Little Jing?" The old man's aura turned chilly.

"Please don't misunderstand sect master. My daughter simply was irritated and went back home immediately."

The old man looked at Jia Li, at loss for words. "That silly girl!" was what the old man was thinking.

"Where is that girl? I need to teach her something."

"I'm afraid she's already asleep by now. Xi Mei put her to sleep." Jia Li said. She magnificently used Xi Mei to attract the elder's rage.

"... don't wake Little Jing up. Kids need some decent sleep. Call Xi Mei. It seems she has been slacking off." The old man flicked his sleeves and disappeared.

Jia Li silently contemplated. If the sect master decided to send Xi Mei to a mission, she'd be dragged along and be added to the party. Jia Li turned back and went back home.

"Aunt-"

"Call me sister."

This irked Wang Jing, she didn't know why.

"Aun-"

"Sister"

"Au-"

"Sister"

Wang Jing looked at Xi Mei expressionless.

"No matter how I see it, you're way older-- ow!"

Xi Mei pinched Wang Jing's cheeks with a smile on her face.

"Wegoomee..."

"Don't wanna. Wang Jing, some things in this world shouldn't be mentioned." Xi Mei said, a vein popping on her forehead.

"Ich chu-"

Xi Mei then pinched harder and suddenly let go. Wang Jing painfully held her swollen cheeks.

"Li Li, I can explain." Xi Mei suddenly said.

Wang Jing looked at her aunt funnily. Her mom wasn't there, whose she talking to? Wang Jing then snickered.

"She called me "AUNT"! This face was just called aunt you know!" Xi Mei sobbingly said.

"Aunt, who in-"

"You did call her aunt. I'll let you go but the sect master won't." Wang Jing heard her mother's voice. Was she hallucinating? She turned around and let out a shout.

"Mom! You- where- eh?!"

"You'll know someday." Jia Li smiled.

You just don't want to bother explaining! Wang Jing wanted to shout but didn't. She's not gonna aggro her mom's anger.

"And Mei, the sect master said you need to go pick up a mission and don't drag me I still need to take care of Wang Jing." Jia Li said in a as a matter of fact way.

"Mission?" Xi Mei pondered for a while. She glanced at Wang Jing and turned to Jia Li with a pitiful face.

"Li Li, go with me!" Xi Mei cried.

"I just said-"

"I'll let my disciple accompany little Jing!"

"Stop cutting-"

"Won't it be more normal this way, than an elder taking her around!"

This made Jia Li pause.

"A Jing, what do you say?"

"...I want to sleep."

Jia Li looked at her exasperated. Why did her daughter take on her husband's attitude?!

"See, Li Li, Li'er, Little Li go with me!" Xi Mei grabbed unto Jia Li's sleeves.

"But mom, do you go around the sect with that young face?" Wang Jing blurted.

The sentence irked Jia Li but answered with a hum.

"Wouldn't they mistake me as you?"

Jia Li and Xi Mei looked at Wang Jing. If it we're not for there cultivation, they might say yes. As for the height, Wang Jing's still young.

"Her face might brew some hatred..." Xi Mei concluded. Wang Jing's personality is like a sloth in the rain forest. Communicating is a pain, surely handling flatters are a no.

Wang Jing is a splitting image of her mom. Except for the height and the mole under the eye, they're basically clones.

"Let her go with my disciple, it might lessen the burden for little Jing." Xi Mei suggested.

"Wait, isn't there a last test before entering the sect?" Jia Li asked.

"Ah! I forgot about that!"

"That's cause you're old..." Wang Jing murmured.

"What was that little Jing? Another pinch?" Xi Mei evilly smiled.

"I said Aunt Xi Mei looks gorgeous!" Wang Jing said in a hurry.

"I'll let the aunt go." Xi Mei was happy to be called gorgeous.

"A Jing, you should go take the test then." Jia Li rubbed her daughter's head.

"What kind of test?" Wang Jing didn't bother her hair, it was shaggy in the first place.

"You just need to camp for a week. It's not that hard." Jia Li explained.

"If it's just that then I'm fine with it. Won't the sect be in trouble for having an easy task?" Wang Jing couldn't help but wonder. And she was really sleepy, just say yes for everything.

"Our sect's in the top three so don't worry!" Xi Mei laughed.

"We'll drop you off tomorrow then." Jia Li stated.

"Wait, Li Li is willing to be with me?!"

"Stop with that vague words of yours, and yes I have to look after you. I realized that you might be gone for a year if no one's babysitting."

Xi Mei couldn't find words to counter attack.

"I'll go sleep then." Wang Jing yawned.

Hopefully, tommorow won't be a bother.
