n2587 Side Story 91: Follow Me

nWhen Rong Xiaoyan and Rong Xiaoxun were five years old, they finally had their younger sister, Rong Xiaoxi.

nThe entire Fantasy Divine Palace was overjoyed.

nThe Emperor was relieved. For the first time in five years, he received kind treatment from the High Priest and the rest.

nThere was no choice, as Rong Xiaoxun and Rong Xiaoyan caused too much trouble these few years. Even the Emperor kept getting criticized.

nWith the small cub, the Emperor could finally make a comeback.

nBeside the cot, Rong Xiaoxun and Rong Xiaoyan stood beside each other and looked naively at the small girl who was lying in the cot. She was wrapped like a dumpling.

nRong Xiaoxun’s eyes were filled with curiosity. “It’s my younger sister! She’s so pretty!”

nRong Xiaoyan glanced at the frowning Rong Xiaoxi as he nodded calmly and said in agreement, “She’s pretty.”

nSister was the prettiest.

nRong Xiaoxun could not help but ask, “Mother, were Brother and I like this when we were young?”

nBefore Chu Liuyue could speak, Rong Xiu lightly answered, “You weren’t as cute.”

nRong Xiaoxun: Woo, woo, woo.

nRong Xiaoyan was already used to it.

nUpon deeper thought, if his younger sister was the cutest in the world, would it not be very normal to lose against her? Hence, he—who rarely obeyed his father—did not refute and nodded in intense agreement.

nRong Xiaoxun, who was originally waiting for his brother to help him, was confused. “Brother, you think so too? But I feel that the gifts that Ancestor and the rest gave were all great. At that time, what we had—”

nWere they good too?

nRong Xiaoyan’s face darkened as he forcefully clenched his teeth. “Are you saying that Sister isn’t as cute as you?”

n“Of course not!” Rong Xiaoxun immediately refuted.

nHe smacked his mouth, thought about it seriously, and finally accepted the truth. “Okay, I’ll be behind Sister then. I’m second! Brother, don’t fight with me!”

nRong Xiaoyan grunted. He seriously said, “Sister will definitely be intelligent, smart, obedient, and mature in the future.”

nWhat is a stupid brother? Sister is the best!

n…

nRong Xiaoyan was only half-right.

nRong Xiaoxi’s talent was indeed outstanding, but she had nothing to do with ‘obedient’ and ‘mature.’ Ever since she could walk and run, the entire Fantasy Divine Palace was in a tizzy.

nThis year, Rong Xiaoxi was three.

nShe leaned toward her brothers and had a face filled with curiosity. “Big Brother, Second Brother, I want to play at the Star Path!”

nThis wasn’t her first time making such requests, hence the brothers were not surprised at all.

n“What’s there to play at the Star Path?” Rong Xiaoxun spread his hands in boredom. “They’re all Xuan formations.”

nEven though they weren’t difficult, Rong Xiaoxi was still too young. If she went over, she probably could not play.

n“Let’s go somewhere else.”

nRong Xiaoxi refused.

nHer happy smile instantly dropped. She looked down slightly, and her bright eyes seemed to have a hint of disappointment. “I see… but I saw that you guys always go there…”

nRong Xiaoxun’s heart instantly ached. He scratched his head and looked at Rong Xiaoyan. “Brother, why don’t we bring Xiaoxi over to take a look?”

nRong Xiaoyan didn’t speak as he gazed at Rong Xiaoxi nonchalantly, as if he had seen through everything. “Promise that you won’t cause trouble.”

nRong Xiaoxi nodded forcefully. “I’ll listen obediently!”

nShe stepped out and hugged Rong Xiaoyan’s thigh, her adorable face lighting up. “I knew that Brother is the best to me!”

nRong Xiaoyan touched her head and reached out to hold her hand. “Let’s go.”

nRong Xiaoxun pulled her to the other side.

nThe sibling trio went to the Star Path.

n…

nSomeone was solving Xuan formations on the Star Path.

nWhen they passed by, they coincidentally heard ‘shoo.’

nA ball of light rushed to the sky and formed an iridescent and complicated Xuan formation in midair.

nRong Xiaoxi had seen such a scene many times.

nHer eyes brightened up. “Me, me, me! I want it too!”

nRong Xiaoxun patiently advised, “Xiaoxi, that’s a Great King Xuan Master-level Xuan formation. You can’t play with that yet.”

nRong Xiaoxi seemed to understand. But it looks so nice…

nThey came to the Heaven Gate.

nStarting from here, the Star Path extended to the Fantasy Divine Hall. Hence, the Xuan formations here were the simplest.

nRong Xiaoxi waved her hands. “Second Brother, I still want to see.”

nThis was naturally not hard for Rong Xiaoxun now.

nHe agreed readily.

nHe waved both his hands, and rays of light flew out.

nVery quickly, a Xuan formation lit up.

nRong Xiaoxi watched happily. Then, she walked to the side and waved her small hands. “Like this?”

nRong Xiaoxun was about to say something when he saw the Xuan formation in front of Rong Xiaoxi light up!

nShe really set up the Xuan formation!

nRong Xiaoxun was shocked. Even Brother and I might not have set up a Xuan formation of this level at her age. Why is Rong Xiaoxi…

nRong Xiaoyan raised his brows slightly and was not very surprised. “How many do you know?”

nRong Xiaoxi was caught red-handed and instantly felt guilty as she chuckled.

nActually, she had been coming over secretly. After watching it for a long time, she naturally knew how to do it.

nShe clenched her small fist, placed it at her lips, and coughed. “N-not a lot…”

nRong Xiaoyan asked, “Then do you know the Xuan formation that person just set up?”

nRong Xiaoxi exclaimed. Then, she obediently said, “No.”

nRong Xiaoyan pulled her forward and quickly came to the person.

nWhen that person suddenly saw the three ancestors, he hurriedly bowed.

nRong Xiaoyan waved his hands and gestured for him to not be nervous and that he just had to continue.

nThat person was currently trying to solve a new Great King Xuan Master-level Xuan formation.

nRong Xiaoxi pouted. “Big Brother, I really don’t know how…”

nRong Xiaoyan ignored her and pointed at that person. “You’re wrong here.”

nThat person was dazed and was instantly frightened. “Thank you—”

n“Aiya! That’s not right! Big Brother, you pointed out the wrong thing!” said Rong Xiaoxi instinctively as she glanced over.

nOnce she said this, the few of them fell silent.

nThe scene was very awkward.

nRong Xiaoxun rushed over. When he heard this, he suddenly realized something, and his expression turned strange. “Xiaoxi, you know this? Then… when you previously snuck out to play, you were the one who set up the Xuan formation? I was even beaten up by Ancestor over it!”

nRong Xiaoxi: “Ahem, discreet.”

nRong Xiaoyan smiled slightly. “What else do you know?”

n…

nRong Xiaoxi returned to the Fantasy Divine Hall slowly, sitting on her own swing dejectedly.

nSigh. Even though Big Brother and Second Brother expressed that they were willing to continue to take the rap for her, she didn’t feel good being exposed. She could not casually go out to play anymore.

nSuddenly, a force came from behind, and the swing moved lightly.

nShe turned around in shock and saw a green sparrow.

nIts entire body had green fire, and its red ruby eyes were clean and clear. It tilted its head to look at her.

n“Ninth-grade… green sparrow?” muttered Rong Xiaoxi in shock. There doesn’t seem to be a fiend of such grade in the Fantasy Divine Palace?

n“Where did you come from?” She jumped down from the swing, ran to the green sparrow, and softly inquired.

nThe green sparrow did not reply and just gazed at her quietly.

nRong Xiaoxi stretched out her hand. “Do you want to play together?”

nIt seemed to be considering something. After a while, it finally flew up and landed in her palms.

nIt lowered its head slightly, and its furry head rubbed against her soft palm.

nIt didn’t know who it was, and it could not recall where it came from.

n“Xiaoxi?” A clear and melodious female voice sounded.

nRong Xiaoxi stood up and turned around to yell excitedly, “Mother! I’m here!”

nThe green sparrow looked over.

nThat was a foreign and extremely charming woman.

nIt blinked.

nA tear suddenly fell.

nSeeing this, Rong Xiaoxi’s heart instantly ached, and she lightly touched it. “Don’t worry! My mother is very nice! Do you not have family? Then… follow me in the future?”

nIt nodded.

nOkay, follow her.

n
