The Little Lolita of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect

"Sugar-coated Haws, Sugar-coated Haws for sale!"

The familiar cry reached Lin Bei's ears, and he followed the sound in surprise. He saw an old man selling Sugar-coated Haws.

Whoa, this world even has Sugar-coated Haws for sale?

Lin Bei licked his lips and walked toward the old man.

Two of the soldiers behind him immediately followed. As for the others, they continued heading toward Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City.

Sugar-coated Haws. He had only eaten them when he was little, and had never had them again after growing up...

"Grandpa, I want a stick of Sugar-coated Haws."

A childish little-girl voice rang out. Lin Bei looked over at the little girl who had reached the old man one step ahead of him.

The little girl wore a fluffy white princess dress. Her features were exquisite, like a doll's, and her big eyes blinked brightly, full of life.

Behind the little girl stood a refined, elegant middle-aged man. He wore a plain blue-green robe, his face handsome as jade, his bearing quite extraordinary.

The middle-aged man noticed Lin Bei's gaze and looked over at him.

When he saw the two soldiers behind Lin Bei, the middle-aged man was somewhat surprised, but then a gentle smile appeared on his face, and he studied Lin Bei curiously.

"Grandpa, give me a stick of Sugar-coated Haws too."

Lin Bei smiled at the middle-aged man, then walked up to the old man and said.

"Of course, of course..."

The old man selling Sugar-coated Haws smiled warmly. First, he handed a stick of Sugar-coated Haws to the little girl, then picked up another and handed it to Lin Bei.

The little girl licked her Sugar-coated Haws and glanced at Lin Bei. When she saw two soldiers standing behind him, she could not suppress the curiosity rising in her heart and asked, "Kid, who are you?"

Lin Bei took the old man's Sugar-coated Haws and glanced at the little girl.

Who's this girl calling a kid?

Seeing that Lin Bei did not answer, the little girl seemed a little angry. She gave a spoiled huff and said, "Brat, big sister is asking you a question! Hurry up and tell me, who are you?"

Lin Bei licked the Sugar-coated Haws and ignored this self-important little girl. Instead, he looked at the old man selling Sugar-coated Haws and asked:

"Grandpa, how do you make these Sugar-coated Haws?"

The old man said with a chuckle:

"This is my martial soul..."

As he spoke, a surge of red light moved in his hand and condensed into a stick of Sugar-coated Haws.

"..."

So it was a martial soul!

There was actually a martial soul like this.

But there was nothing strange about that. In the original work, Oscar's martial soul was a sausage.

"Hey, are you ignoring me?!"

The little girl, fuming because Lin Bei had ignored her, shouted loudly.

"Ah, sorry, were you talking to me?"

Only then did Lin Bei seem to notice the little girl's existence. He turned his head to look at her blankly and asked in confusion.

This attitude clearly caught the little girl off guard.

Normally, who would ever talk to her like this?

Everyone treated her like a treasure in their palm, afraid she might fall, bump into something, or melt.

The little girl was stunned at first, then gnashed her teeth in anger. "You jerk!"

She suddenly looked at the middle-aged man standing nearby, pointed at Lin Bei, and said, "Daddy, this jerk is bullying me!"

Lin Bei looked at the middle-aged man neither servile nor overbearing, spread his hands, and said, "How did I bully you?"

"You just bullied me!"

The little girl glared at Lin Bei in exasperation, her tone utterly self-righteous.

Lin Bei smiled and said, "I only didn't answer your question, and you already feel like you've been bullied. Then you really are easy to bully."

"..." The little girl opened her mouth, but for a moment she actually did not know what to say.

Lin Bei's reasoning felt very wrong, but when she thought about it, there did not seem to be any problem.

The little girl instinctively looked at her father.

The refined, elegant middle-aged man did not know whether to laugh or cry as he patted his daughter's little head and said:

"All right, Rong Rong. Stop making trouble. This little friend wasn't bullying you."

After saying this to his daughter, the middle-aged man looked at Lin Bei and said, "But little friend, when someone asks you a question, out of courtesy, you should answer promptly too."

Rong Rong?

Lin Bei raised an eyebrow.

I remember the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect was near Heaven Dou City.

Could this wealthy, noble-looking father and daughter in front of him be Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong?

Wasn't that way too much of a coincidence?

But Lin Bei had not guessed wrong. These two were indeed Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong.

Ning Fengzhi happened to be in a leisurely mood today. With nothing going on in the sect, he had brought his daughter to Heaven Dou City for a stroll, only to run into this interesting little fellow, Lin Bei.

"Who says that when someone asks a question, the person being asked has to answer?"

Lin Bei bit off a Sugar-coated Haw and threw the question back at Ning Fengzhi. Without waiting for Ning Fengzhi to reply, he spat the hawthorn pit into his palm and continued asking, "If it really worked like Uncle said, then what would interrogation rooms be for?"

Ning Fengzhi: "..."

Lin Bei's question caught him off guard, and a trace of interest appeared in his gaze as he looked at him.

Ning Fengzhi was not angered by Lin Bei's counterquestion. Instead, he felt that Lin Bei was rather exceptionally clever and quick-witted.

An ordinary child would not have used a rhetorical question to deal with what he had just said.

"Little friend, now it's not just my daughter who is curious about your identity. I'm starting to be curious too."

Ning Fengzhi said with a smile.

"Then the two of you can keep being curious."

Lin Bei smiled and waved, handed a Silver Soul Coin to the old man, then turned and left with effortless flair.

The old man looked at the Silver Soul Coin in his hand and called after Lin Bei's back, "Young sir, I still need to give you change!"

"No need, Grandpa. Use it to treat every child you meet today to one stick of Sugar-coated Haws."

Lin Bei waved dashingly and walked off without looking back.

One Silver Soul Coin was enough to buy all the Sugar-coated Haws the old man had manifested today.

"Sect Master Ning, we will take our leave first."

The two soldiers following behind Lin Bei had recognized Ning Fengzhi's identity long ago. Lin Bei could leave without saying goodbye to Ning Fengzhi, but these two could not.

They bowed to Ning Fengzhi before hurrying to catch up with Lin Bei.

Ning Fengzhi nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

He looked at Lin Bei's departing back and pondered inwardly—

This child should be the young genius Spirit Hall found this year. I just don't know what his martial soul is, that Spirit Hall would treat him with such courtesy.

From those clothes, he was a commoner before, wasn't he?

Yet when facing me, his expression was neither servile nor overbearing. If this child grows up in the future, I'm afraid...

At this thought, Ning Fengzhi's brows furrowed slightly.

The relationship between the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile Sect and Spirit Hall was not as good as it appeared on the surface...

Ning Rongrong, at the side, had not thought as much as her father. She simply felt very annoyed, feeling that this Lin Bei fellow was infuriating!

"That guy, just a little brat, acting all cool for what?"

Ning Rongrong sucked on her Sugar-coated Haws and looked at Lin Bei's back, muttering under her breath, though her eyes were somewhat bright.

Lin Bei naturally had no idea how deep an impression his behavior had left on Ning Fengzhi and Ning Rongrong. He bought and ate things all along the way, and soon arrived at the entrance of Heaven Dou City's Spirit Hall.

Compared with the Spirit Hall in Notting City, the Spirit Hall in Heaven Dou City appeared far grander and more magnificent. Even the guards at the entrance were dressed like knights and nobles.

"Young Master Lin Bei, Lord Omora instructed us that once you returned, you should go to the side hall to find him."

Omora had arrived at Spirit Hall one step ahead of Lin Bei and the others. The guards at the entrance had received his instructions, and when they saw Lin Bei and the two soldiers return, they immediately informed him.

"Oh, got it."

Lin Bei nodded, walked into Spirit Hall, and asked, "Right, how do I get to the side hall?"

"Please follow me."

A maid suddenly appeared and led Lin Bei toward the side hall.
