Battle Through the Heavens: There Are Always Disciples Who Want to Defy Their Master

Seeing that the little girl did not object, Su Mu took it as settled and continued,

"I have plenty more good things. As long as you work hard, they'll all be yours someday! Someone's coming, so I'll be leaving first!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Su Mu vanished from where he stood.

The next second, there came a knock at the door.

"Knock, knock, knock..."

So early in the morning, who could be looking for her?

"Third Brother, why are you here?"

The moment she opened the door, she saw a ray of sunshine!

Other than her Third Brother, who else could it be?

Still, he was somewhat different from before.

Her Third Brother had always looked especially calm, yet somehow gave off a gloomy feeling. But today, he seemed remarkably bright and cheerful.

The change was truly enormous!

It was simply earth-shattering!

"Younger sister, do you know what time it is? Why haven't you gone to eat yet?"

Who knew where this girl had run off to yesterday? And she still was not going to eat?

Since Xiao Yue was not around, Xiao Yan had been driven out by the Old Man to call her over.

He was rather pitiful, really!

But his own younger sister deserved to be spoiled properly!

"Younger sister, why do you seem a little strange today?"

Xiao Yan suddenly noticed that his younger sister looked somewhat different from usual.

"What's strange?"

"Strangely pretty!"

After she asked, Xiao Yan blurted out the answer.

She really was strangely pretty!

How had the little girl become so pretty after just one day apart?

That face... he really wanted to give it a good pinch. He wondered if he could squeeze water out of it.

"Third Brother, tell me, then. Am I prettier now, or is Sister Xun'er prettier?"

Xiao Yue asked smugly.

She wondered whether she mattered more in her Third Brother's heart, or Sister Xun'er did.

"This...?"

Xiao Yan suddenly found himself conflicted.

Why had his younger sister suddenly asked such a tricky question?

"You're prettier. You're definitely prettier!"

His own little sister had to be spoiled a little, right?

Besides, his younger sister was right beside him, while Xun'er was not here at the moment.

He would appease his younger sister first!

"Hehe~"

Xiao Yue suddenly laughed.

She had only said it casually, yet Third Brother had actually given it serious thought?

Still, this showed that Sister Xun'er truly held no small place in Third Brother's heart.

Otherwise, why would he have hesitated?

She had noticed this long ago.

But it was only natural. Ever since Third Brother's talent had declined and his Dou Qi had continuously vanished, aside from herself, only Sister Xun'er had treated him well.

It was perfectly normal for Sister Xun'er to hold such a high place in his heart!

"Third Brother, if Sister Xun'er were standing beside you right now, would you still dare say that?"

Xiao Yue suddenly began teasing him again.

Though she was also somewhat serious.

He was her real brother—how could he be so close to someone else?

"Xun'er?"

"Where is Xun'er?"

Xiao Yan immediately turned his head and began looking around. There was even the tiniest hint of nervousness on his face.

"Third Brother, that's going too far!"

"I only mentioned her casually, and you immediately started looking for her?"

"You're too much! Do you even care about your own younger sister?"

Xiao Yue pouted and glared at Xiao Yan twice.

"Younger sister...?"

Xiao Yan called out awkwardly.

He could tell that his younger sister was simply teasing him.

He really could not stand it!

How old was she already?

"Younger sister, I suddenly realized that you're a little lively today, aren't you?!"

Before, his younger sister had not talked this much, much less joked with him.

What was going on today?

Why had she suddenly started teasing him?

"Third Brother, you have the nerve to say that about me? Has your own change been small?"

Hmph, she had merely let her true nature show.

But what about Third Brother?

He had undergone a complete transformation!

Because Third Brother's talent had fallen before, she had not dared joke with him. But now that everything was normal again, a little teasing would help strengthen their bond!

"Alright, younger sister, hurry up and eat!"

If they kept talking, she would probably uncover his secret.

Why was this little girl's eye so sharp?

She had actually noticed his change?

Watching her Third Brother leave, Xiao Yue smiled sweetly.

Her Third Brother had truly recovered. That was wonderful!

That former genius was finally about to return!

After leaving, Xiao Yan hurriedly called for his teacher.

"Old man? Are you still there?"

"You brat, what are you yelling for? What do you want from me this time?"

This little bastard called for him whenever there was nothing going on. What exactly did he take him for?

His nanny?

Why did he have so much damn business all day long?

"Out with it. What do you want this time? Don't tell me you've already prepared all the medicinal ingredients I told you to get?"

"Teacher, those medicinal ingredients you told me to prepare are all so expensive. How could I get them that quickly?"

Xiao Yan was very embarrassed.

He was just a poor man. Buying the medicinal ingredients Old Yao had instructed him to get was truly not easy.

Fortunately, he had borrowed money from Xiao Xun'er before. Otherwise, he really would not have had the money to buy them!

"Then what do you want from me?"

There was a trace of impatience in Old Yao's voice.

"Teacher, did you notice my younger sister just now? I feel like she's changed a lot. Do you know what happened?"

Finally returning to the point, Xiao Yan voiced the question in his heart.

He cared deeply about this younger sister of his.

"Was she the girl who ran off with you later yesterday?

I wasn't paying attention just now. When I see her later, I'll take a good look!"

Sibling Comparison

"Sigh..."

"So being beautiful is a kind of trouble too!"

As soon as she finished eating, Xiao Yue could not help but sigh.
