"Of course you can." Tang Xin said with a smile, "I have a very good relationship with Miaoxin. You can come to play with senior sister on the Spirit-Communication Peak at any time in the future."
"Haha, okay."
When they reached the entrance of the Star-Plucking Peak, Lin Xiaolu made a cool gesture and said with a smile, "Rakshasa witch, tell that Emperor Penguin for me that I, the overlord of Donggua Village, will come to teach it a lesson sooner or later."
"Pfft ~" Tang Xin covered her mouth and laughed. She glared at him with her beautiful eyes and said, "Take your sister back quickly!" Then she waved her hand and left.
Seeing her go away, Lin Xiaolu took Xiao Yu'er's hand and turned back to the Star-Plucking Peak.
It was just Shen Shi in the afternoon at this time. The setting sun dyed the entire Star-Plucking Peak golden. Lin Xiaolu and Xiao Yu'er, wearing dirty Taoist robes, walked along the path in their memory and returned to their small courtyard, chatting and laughing.
"Xiao Yu'er, we must have the same story later. We can't let senior sister know that we scolded the teacher and didn't go to class. Do you understand?"
"Yes." Xiao Yu'er replied sweetly. Then she asked curiously, "Then, brother, should we listen to Sister Tang Xin and go to school tomorrow?"
"Of course not." Lin Xiaolu said without hesitation, "I was lying to the Rakshasa witch. If I didn't lie, she would really force us to apologize to the teacher. That would be so embarrassing. How could I become famous in the future?"
"Oh ~" Xiao Yu'er nodded obediently.
The two children were chatting while walking. When they returned to the courtyard and saw that there was no one in the yard, they thought that Senior Sister Li had gone out. They walked into their room together. But as soon as the siblings entered the door, laughing and talking, they saw Li Miaoxin sitting on the wooden chair in the main room and... Mr. Yang who was drinking tea.
Lin Xiaolu was startled when he saw the old man. He pointed at him and exclaimed, "You, old geezer."
Before he could finish speaking, Li Miaoxin glared at him suddenly: "Xiaolu, apologize to Mr. Yang quickly!"
Xiao Yu'er saw that Li Miaoxin's face was a little cold and seemed very angry. She was so frightened that she quickly hid behind her brother.
And Lin Xiaolu got angry immediately when Li Miaoxin scolded him. He subconsciously wanted to scold back. But Mr. Yang, who was drinking tea, suddenly waved his hand.
He looked at Lin Xiaolu, who was only seven years old in front of him. After a long time, he slowly said, "I have been teaching for a long time, but not too long. But it's the first time I've met a child as bold as you."
After saying that, he smiled with an apologetic tone and said, "Your name is Lin Xiaolu, right? I heard from girl Miaoxin about the life stories of you and your sister. I apologize to you for what happened today."
Lin Xiaolu was a little surprised when he heard the old man's words. This old man actually wanted to apologize to him? Xiao Yu'er behind him also heard this and curiously peeked out half of her small head to secretly look at the old man.
"Are you serious?" Lin Xiaolu looked at the old man in surprise and said hesitantly, "You want to apologize to a child like me? Aren't you adults all very self-righteous?"
"Hahaha ~" The old man laughed heartily and said, "Do you think your senior sister is self-righteous?"
Lin Xiaolu looked at Li Miaoxin beside him and then shook his head. Li Miaoxin was definitely not self-righteous. On the contrary, she was very nice to him and his sister and respected them. He could see that.
The old man continued to smile and said, "I am a cultivator, but also a scholar. Both of these should distinguish right from wrong and know what is correct and incorrect. We shouldn't take advantage of our age and judge others by age.
Xiaolu, I apologize to you for what happened today. You continue to take your sister to the Literacy Hall to study tomorrow. Let's just let this go. Is that okay?"
The boy pursed his lips and didn't speak. Li Miaoxin saw that he was so stubborn and immediately pretended to be angry and said, "Thank the teacher quickly. Otherwise, senior sister will punish you.
You hit someone twice and skipped school with your sister today. You have already made a big mistake. If you make any more trouble, senior sister will... spank your bottom."
Lin Xiaolu knew that senior sister was doing this for his own good when she threatened him. But he cared about his face and remained calm. He snorted arrogantly, crossed his arms and put on an air as if he was the second most important person in the world. Then he reluctantly said, "Okay, okay. Senior sister, I'll give you a face and go to school tomorrow."
After saying that, he looked at the old man and asked, "If that Chen Nianyun scolds my sister and me again, it's not too much if I hit him, right?"
"Hahaha" The old man laughed a few times and promised, "Xiaolu, don't worry. They probably won't dare to bully you again."
Lin Xiaolu was relieved when he heard this. In fact, he also had a lot of experience in this regard. When you meet someone who annoys you, as long as you beat him until he is convinced once, he will avoid you when he sees you in the future.
People are all bullies and afraid of the strong. Cultivators are the same.
In the main room, the old man continued to instruct, "Xiaolu, although the other classmates in the school probably won't bully you anymore, you can't bully others either. And you can't hit or scold others randomly. Do you understand?"
"As long as they don't provoke me, I won't hit them." The boy replied casually.
The old man stroked his beard and nodded with satisfaction, "Since that's the case, today's matter is completely over. From tomorrow on, you two should go to school normally and not be late."
After saying that, he leaned on his crutch and was about to get up and leave.
Li Miaoxin saw this and immediately said enthusiastically, "Mr. Yang, are you leaving? Why don't you stay for a simple meal?"
"No, I'm going back." The old man smiled and glanced at Lin Xiaolu and Xiao Yu'er siblings and sighed to Li Miaoxin, "That rascal Li Mingru is really irresponsible. He accepted new disciples but didn't discipline them well and just threw them to you. Which elder of our Emei is as irresponsible as him? It's really disgraceful."
Li Miaoxin smiled awkwardly and said, "My master has always been like this."
The old man sighed and then suddenly lowered his voice and said, "This Lin Xiaolu has a wild nature and a stubbornness that he won't turn back even if he hits a wall. Even at a young age, his eyes are full of lawless evil. Little Miaoxin, you must lead him onto the right path."
Li Miaoxin was stunned when she heard this. She thought that Mr. Yang was a bit too serious. Xiaolu was just a seven-year-old child. How could he be so evil?
But she still replied respectfully on the surface, "I will follow Mr. Yang's teachings and will surely discipline my junior brother well."
Seeing that Li Miaoxin agreed, the old man nodded and then left with a smile.
After the old man's figure disappeared, Li Miaoxin turned to look at the dirty siblings.
In the spacious, elegant and antique main room, only one big person and two small ones were left.
Xiao Yu'er felt that she had done something wrong. She was a little scared when being stared at by Li Miaoxin. She lowered her head and played with her fingers without speaking.
And Lin Xiaolu still had an air as if he was the most important person in the world, as if he didn't take Li Miaoxin seriously.
Li Miaoxin looked at them and didn't say anything more. She took out two Dust-Cleansing Pills. As if nothing had happened, she smiled at them and said, "Where have you two been naughty all day? Look at how dirty you are. Go and use the Dust-Cleansing Pills to clean yourselves. Senior sister will take you to have dinner."
The siblings were both stunned when they heard this. Lin Xiaolu was even more surprised and asked, "Senior sister, you won't punish us?"
Li Miaoxin looked at Lin Xiaolu with a smile and said softly, "Why should I punish you? I am your senior sister. If you do something wrong, it should be me who is punished. ~"
