“Ah ah ah, let go of me. There are so many people here!” Little Seven was lifted up by the collar by an old man with a white beard, with both arms flailing in the air.
“You’ve gotten real bold after our many years apart. You actually dared to leave the school.” The elderly man’s voice sounded younger than he appeared.
“Let go of me, let go!” Little Seven couldn’t beat him, and could only glare at him with grief.
“This won’t work against me.” Yuan Shao Jie used his other hand to knock Little Seven on the head, saying, “Didn’t I tell you before not to leave the school? What are you doing out here again?”
“I’ve already gone through three round of transformation. I’m powerful now!” Little Seven huffed.
“That’s not enough.” Yuan Shao Jie held on to him, saying, “Once I find that guy, you’ll come back with me.”
“No way. I want to be with him.’ Little Seven asserted.
“Aren’t you afraid of getting captured? You should know that many people have set their sights on you.” Yuan Shao Jie was amused at her tiny firm gaze.
“Not at all. I’ve been here for so long that even the pebbles would recognise me. I want to follow him.” Little Seven said.
“You’re so certain of yourself?” Yuan Shao Jie raised his eyebrows with surprise.
“She feels that she’ll be able to go through her fourth transformation if she sticks close to You Yue.” Xu Jin explained it to Yuan Shao Jie.
“Oh?” Yuan Shao Jie placed Little Seven down and said, “You want to follow him, but he can’t guarantee your safety.”
“I want to try even if it’s dangerous.” Little Seven replied.
“I’ll leave it to you then.” Yuan Shao Jia really placed Little Seven down really quickly. So quickly that even Little Seven was stunned.
Xu Jin and her blinked their eyes with confusion. He agreed so easily?
Xu Jin’s gaze told her that he didn’t understand it either before followed Yuan Shao Jie into a house.
Little Seven remained standing in the courtyard, highly suspicious of Yuan Shao Jie’s approval. However, she was filled with more joy than suspicion. This meant that she wouldn’t have to remain cooped up in the sect anymore!
Xi Jin wasn’t worried about this, but when he entered the house, he still wanted to ask Yuan Shao Jie for his reason why.
“Why did you agree to her request?”
“When I went out this time, I saw that the world outside has changed. Many people plot against her, but she’s not that weak now, either. However, looking at it objectively, she’s not strong enough. If she’s able to go through her fourth transformation, she’ll be much safer.”
Xu Jin stopped walking. Did the outside world truly become that chaotic?
The both of them entered Sima You Yue’s courtyard as Han Miao Shuang stood up to greet them with a bow.
“Principal, Master.”
Sima You Yue guessed as well that the one who just entered was the principal. However, she had assumed that he would look similar to Old Man Devil. Who would have expected him to look like an old man with a head full of white hair.
As if guessing her confusion from her expression, Yuan Shao Jie smiled, saying, “I look more like a principal this way.”
Eh-
A new world had truly opened up for her.
“Greetings, Principal.” She nodded towards the courtyard.
“The two guys have spoken so well about you, so I doubt that they’re just exaggerating.” Yuan Shao Jie said, “That’s why you have to improve quickly. I have many things I need you to do.”
“Ah?”
Sima You Yue was stunned by what he just said. Wasn’t this skipping too many steps? He didn’t come to meet her, but to make her do things? Furthermore, this was their first time meeting but he had already allocated tasks for her.
Why did it feel as if something was off about the way they did it?
“Ha ha ha” Yuan Shao Jie laughed when he saw her confusion. Then, he took out a box and placed it beside her bed, saying, “Master Uncle gifts you a greeting present.”
Although he had already left teaching, his heart was still with them, Looking at Sima You Yue was like looking at the next generation.
Little Seven came in from outside, and was initially sneaky about it. However, when she saw the box placed beside Sima You Yue’s bed, she gave a loud cry and dashed in. However, she was immediately pulled aside by Yuan Shao Jie, who was passing her by.
“That’s my greeting present to You Yue. Don’t even think about it.”
Little Seven was stunned as she drooled over the box. “You’re so mean. I’ve thought about it for so long, but you’ve never given it to me.”
“That’s useless to you.” Yuan Shao Jie didn’t let go of her.
“But it’s delicious!” Little Seven retorted.
“It’ll be a waste for you to eat it.” Yuan Shao Jie said, “Keep that item away. Don’t let her waste it.”
Sima You Yue couldn’t help but laugh at the comical scene playing out in front of her as she kept the item away into her spirit pagoda.
Once the item entered her spirit pagoda, she knew what was inside. She was extremely shocked, but that item was not something she could use right now.
What Yuan Shao Jie had given her was a soul grass, a medicinal ingredient that could help one to recover their soul. This type of ingredient was extremely effective for healing the soul, and was a treasure within the ranks of the soul ingredients. If she did not have soul fluid, this might most likely be the most precious soul ingredient she had.
However, since she did not open it in front of him, she continued to pretend that she didn’t know what it was.
“Principal, you mentioned earlier that there was something you needed me to do?”
“That’s not urgent. Let’s talk about it once you’ve fully healed and returned to the sect.” Yuan Shao Jie said, “Alright, I’ve already given you your present, so it’s time for me to return to the sect. Ol’ Jin, you should come back with me. I should check on your homework. What about Little Seven?”
“I’m not going back! I’m going to stay with Little Yue Yue.” Little Seven continued to struggle, this time letting her break free. The moment she left Yuan Shao Jie’s claws, she ran over to Sima You Yue and clammed up, refusing to talk to him.
Yuan Shao Jie smiled as he took an apparently suffering Xu Jin along with him.
Xu Jin looked enviously at Little Seven. If he could avoid it, he didn’t want to go back either…
Once they had left, Little Seven immediately looked at Sima You Yue excitedly.
Sima You Yue petted Little Seven’s head, saying, “This is something that the principal has gifted me. Also, it’s not of any use to you.”
“But it’s extremely delicious.” Little Seven said.
“Master, this soul grass has its roots and soil. We can farm it.” Little Spirit suddenly told her.
“Then farm it.” Sima You Yue ordered. Then, she said to Little Seven, “I can give you a little of it, but I can’t give you all of it.”
“Okay!” Little Seven nodded with shining eyes.
Sima You Yue whipped out her blade as she looked at the little grass with a few blades growing. She thought for a bit before cutting away the leaves, leaving only the stalk at roots. She gave all the cut off leaves to Little Seven.
“Yue Yue, you’re the best.” Little Seven took the soul grass and gave her a kiss on the cheek before flying away at top speed.
Han Miao Shuang saw that Sima You Yue had given Little Seven most of the soul grass, and said rather critically, “You shouldn’t spoil her so much, even if you like her. You shouldn’t always give in.”
“But she likes it.” Sima You Yue smiled, not minding in the least.
She kept the soul grass away safely as Little Spirit took it to nurture it.
The roots of the soul grass were kept well, so a few more leaves could grow out from there. That was the only reason why she had been big hearted enough to give it to Little Seven to eat.
However, Han Miao Shuang didn’t know this and could only shake her head helplessly when she saw her acting this way
