Xun'er was rebellious.
Even back in Wutan City, that would have been enough to shock everyone senseless.
Quiet, elegant, outstanding, gentle. It could be said that the girl had embodied every beautiful description imaginable, to the point where other girls did not even dare to envy her.
In other words, ever since she was little, she had been "someone else's child."
Would someone else's child rebel?
What a joke.
In parents' mouths, someone else's child would not let go of a Dou Skill manual even during breaks from cultivation, aside from eating and sleeping.
Even if she made the same mistake as their own child, parents would merely turn a blind eye, then praise Xun'er for knowing how to correct her mistakes and tell their little brat to learn more from her.
However, as half an elder to Xun'er, Xiao Yan knew this little tagalong's thoughts perfectly well—
That so-called refusal to let go of a manual was merely to fool those stubborn old men. The book actually contained picture books, which he had personally bought from a shady old man at the Marketplace for the astronomical price of half a copper coin.
As for knowing how to correct her mistakes, that was even more absurd.
Whenever that girl returned from cultivation in the clan, she would inevitably complain at length about the most hot-tempered Third Elder. At some point, she had even learned a few crude curses from him, causing Xiao Yan's father to whip his backside with a wooden board for an entire night, leaving him unable to get out of bed for three days.
That girl was nothing but a walking disaster!
Thus, rather than saying Ruoruo had led Xun'er astray, it would be more accurate to say she had completely freed her from her restraints. Gentleness
