Translator: Misty Cloud Translations Editor: Misty Cloud Translations
“Little Junior Brother, if you need the earth’s eye, you can try to ask Master.” Han Miao Shuang suggested.
“I’ll ask Master.” Sima You Yue said. “I’m not in a hurry. I have time to investigate.”
“Hmph.” Little Seven coldly protested.
Seeing that Little Seven was still angry, she rubbed her head. She got up and stored away the pots and pans.
“Alright, it’s getting late. We should return.”
“True. it’s time to go back.” Han Miao Shuang got up. “Alright, little fellow, we’re going back!”
“I’m not little!” Little Seven harrumphed.
Sima You Yue and Han Miao Shuang prepared to go back to Parting Garden. When Little Seven saw them go, she also follow.
“Little Seven, you’ve been out a whole night? Aren’t you going back?” Sima You Yue asked.
“Together.” Little Seven grabbed Sima You Yue’s clothes.
“Together? You want to go with us?”
Little Seven nodded.
“You’re not from our courtyard. You can’t go with us.” Han Miao Shuang said.
“I want.” Little Seven grabbed Sima You Yue’s hand and wouldn’t let go. She was determined to go back with her.
Sima You Yue looked down at her hand and then at Han Miao Shuang. She said awkwardly, “Senior Sister, how about…”
“It’s up to you. Master likes you so much now. It’s nothing to take someone back.” Han Miao Shuang saw her softheartedness and was disinclined to care.
“Then you can go back with me.” Sima You Yue took Little Seven’s hand.
Three people returned to the courtyard. Su Xiao Xiao was already cleaning the courtyard.
“Third Senior Brother, morning.”
Su Xiao Xiao was holding a broom when he saw them entered. He smiled, “Did you go out to eat again?”
“You already know?”
“Our alchemist’s nose is very sharp. I smelled some fragrance that you didn’t have yesterday.” Su Xiao Xiao said, “Who is this little doll?”
“She’s Little Seven. She’s probably be staying here later.” Sima You Yue said. “Master… he’s most likely still asleep. I find him later. Little Seven, this is third Senior Brother Su Xiao Xiao. If you are going to stay here later, you can find him to play.”
“I don’t want to, stinky.” Little Seven turned away.
“Stinky?” Su Xiao Xiao smelled himself. He just took a bath. He didn’t smell.
But Little Seven still disliked him.
“Ah——– I haven’t slept for so long. I’m going to sleep.” Han Miao Shuang yawned as she headed towards her own place.
“Little Junior Brother, is this little fellow visiting or staying here?” Su Xiao Xiao asked.
“What’s wrong?”
“If she staying here, I need to prepare a room.” Su Xiao Xiao answered.
Sima You Yue glanced at Little Seven before replying to Su Xiao Xiao. “Let’s talk about it later after I asked Master.”
If Xu Jin doesn’t want Little Seven to stay here, she couldn’t impose.
“Alright, Master slept early yesterday. He’ll probably wake up earlier today.” Su Xiao Xiao reminded.
“I got it. Little Seven, we’re going back.”
Sima You Yue took Little Seven to her room and gave her a lot of food to eat. She allowed her to play by herself on the side. Afterwards, she took out herbs and started to fiddle with them.
Little Seven was a strange child. She treated Han Miao Shuang with cold indifference while was heavily reliant on Sima You Yue. Sima You Yue attributed that to her contracted spirit pagoda, which had a unique attraction to her spirit.
“Little Seven. How old are you?” Sima You Yue fiddled with herbs for a while. Seeing that Little Seven was still eating, she came over and put her food down.
When Little Seven’s food was taken away, she was a little unhappy. But she still obediently answered her question.
“I don’t know how old am I. I forgot. Eh, how old am I?” Little Seven knocked her head.
“Forgot?” Sima You Yue saw Little Seven’s distress. She subconsciously attributed to her injury before, so she forgot some things of the past.
“Don’t worry, if it’s been forgotten then it’s forgotten. You probably not very old from your appearance.” Sima You Yue said. “But I don’t know your identity. You’re so powerful at such a young age.”
“Eat.” Little Seven stared at the dried meat that Sima You Yue took away.
“Little Seven, you already ate a lot. Be careful of growing a belly.”
“Hungry.” Little Seven patted her stomach. The round bellly had shrivelled again.
“You’re hungry again?” Sima You Yue looked at her in surprise. She’s really hungry. How could she eat so much?!
Little Seven nodded. She took out another ginseng, took a bite, frowned, and placed it in Sima You Yue’s hand.
“Exchange.”
Sima You Yue put the dried meat in Little Seven’s hand and patted her little head. “Eat it. When you are full, go to see my Master. Let’s see if he’ll let you stay, otherwise you’ll have to go back to where you live.”
Little Seven pondered her head askew before nodding.
Almost noon, Sima You Yue felt some movements in Xu Jin’s room. She put down the book in her hand, and said, “Master is up. Let’s go meet him.”
Little Seven jumped from the chair and followed her out.
Xu Jin had just woke up and sense that Sima You Yue was coming. Before she could knock on the door, he let her in. He saw a six to seven year old child following her. His eyes flashed in surprise.
Why was she with this little fellow?
“Master, you woke up so early today.”
“Mm, I woke up a?little earlier than Jiang Jun Zhe.” Xu Jin said. “Why did you bring this little fellow?”
“Master, this is Little Seven. I met her last night. She wants to live with us. Is it alright?”
Xu Jin stared straight at Little Seven. How dared this little fellow trick his disciple? However, seeing her shrinking behind Sima You Yue and threatening himself with cold eyes as if she’d eat you if you refused. He started to tease.
“Good disciple, our Parting Garden is not a place anyone can stay in.”
He raised an eyebrow at Little Seven.
Little Seven’s mouth turned, as if she was going to cry at once, and her little hand holding Sima You Yue tightened. She shrank behind her, leaving her head to look at him obliquely.
“Master, Little Seven is just a child. How can you frighten a little doll with bad words.”Sima You Yue shot Xu Jin a glance.
Little Seven raised her chin at Xu Jin from behind.
Xu Jin was speechless. How did he frighten a little doll? He only said some normal words!
“Master, Little Seven said that she often looks for food alone in back mountain, and no one takes care of her. Little Seven is still small, and the back mountain is so dangerous, so let her stay here. Little Seven, you won’t cause trouble in the courtyard, will you?”
Sima You Yue look down at Little Seven, Little Seven immediately change to a terrified face and obediently nodded.
When Xu Jin saw how Sima You Yue protected her, he felt helpless. He waved his hand for them to go as a sign of agreement.
“Thank you Master. Then we won’t bother you. Rest well.” Sima You Yue took Little Seven away.
As Little Seven went out, she glanced at Xu Jin complacently.
“Old fellow, don’t misguide my good disciple.” Xu Jin transmitted secretly.
“Hmph, it’ll depend on my mood!”?Little Seven transmitted her reply before leaving with Sima You Yue.
