“I’m uninterested.” The child’s words were like a giant rock that forcibly suppressed Duan Yue’s enthusiasm.
How could there be such a heartless and unfeeling child in this world?
Didn’t normal children enthusiastically agree as soon as someone invited them to go out and play?
What mutated species of children was this kid? How could she be so unlikeable?!
“Qiaoqiao.” Second Uncle suddenly entered with an excited expression. “Did this young brother just say mentors from the Mystic Cultivator Association will come tomorrow to guide and trigger the mystic meridians of children inside the city?”
Qiao Mu glanced at Qiao Hu, who was hiding behind Second Uncle. The boy’s round head was downcast and he kept nervously rubbing the edge of his shirt.
“Yes.” Qiao Mu jumped down from the chair and waddled over to Qiao Hu. “Brother Xiao Hu, I’ll come with you tomorrow to find a mentor to trigger your mystic meridians tomorrow. Don’t worry, it doesn’t matter whether you succeed or not! We’re just going to give it a try, so you don’t need to put yourself under too much pressure.”
Qiao Hu looked up pitifully at Qiao Mu. “Younger Sis, I’ve tried for three consecutive years, but I still didn’t successfully trigger my mystic meridians.”
“So what? Some people only succeed after trying 10 consecutive times! You’ve only tried three times, it’s nothing. Perhaps we will succeed this time!” Qiao Mu comforted with a clap on her cousin’s shoulder.
“Really?!” Qiao Hu’s eyes brightened!
Duan Yue felt his feelings take a plunge as he looked at the child. How come she put on an icy and unapproachable expression when he talked to her?
Yet, when she talked to this dunderhead brat, the child even knew how to comfort him!
“Then I’ll come early tomorrow morning to pick you up!” Seeing the child look back and about to reject him, Duan Yue quickly added, “I can take you guys to a special channel, and you don’t need to line up!”
The child pattered to his side. She looked up and gestured at him.
So adorable! She was a darling whenever she remained silent!
Duan Yue bent down with astonishment and brushed back a strand of hair. “You want to tell me something…?”
Slap! A talisman smacked onto the youth’s forehead. “Faint!”
Second Uncle: …
Duan Yue: …
Qiao Hu: “Younger Sis, so cool! Is this a demon warding talisman?”
‘Brat! You thought too much, alright?! The Daoist priests who go everywhere with fake talismans in hand and claim there are demonic spirits acting up in your house are all con artists, alright?!’
‘You’re the demon! Your whole family are demons!’ The youth’s chest heaved up and down due to his repressed rage.
A moment later, the youth used two fair fingers to rip off the torn talisman drifting from his forehead.
The youth was rendered speechless when he met the child’s sparkling eyes.
“This is…? A new toy?”
Qiao Mu sighed and stepped over the tall door sill with her arms behind her back like a grandma. As she walked, she muttered to herself, “He looks like a weakling, but his cultivation is surprisingly higher than mine.”
So exasperating!
Any random stray off the street had a higher cultivation than her! It’s all the sapling’s fault for continuously stealing resources from her!!!
Qiao Mu looked up at the sky.
The unconscious talisman’s effects were voided against opponents who were a level or more higher than her.
Duan Yue stiffly stood behind the door sill with his arm extended as if he wanted to call the strange child back. ‘Come back here! Tell me who’s a weakling again?!’
Early next morning:
After washing up, Qiao Mu headed straight for the front door.
As expected, Duan Yue was waiting outside the Qiao Estate and greeted her in high spirits when he saw her. “Qiaoqiao, good morning!”
