"Huh?"
Xie Jinhuan froze. Only after studying her expression closely did he realize that Great Immortal Zisu had logged in. His expression immediately stiffened.
"Uh... I knew it was you. That's why I called you my dear big sister."
Lin Zisu was no Sister Momo. She straightened up, lifting her head and thrusting out her chest.
"Still pretending, huh? You've secretly groped my grandmaster's bottom, and you're still trying to fool me? Believe me, I'll tell Aunt!"
At this point, Lin Zisu felt something was off again. She leaned closer and whispered,
"Aunt doesn't know, does she? Good heavens-you adults are just-"
Xie Jinhuan wiped the rainwater off his face, feeling rather mortified, and raised a hand slightly.
"It's a long story. Your aunt wasn't really a disciple, either. She only took on the identity of a Missing Moon Manor disciple to build connections back in Capital City. Now she's been changed to a junior sister-"
Lin Zisu was a little shocked, but after reading so many miscellaneous novels like The Demoness Plays with Xie Lang Three Times, she really wasn't all that surprised. She frowned at his words.
"What kind of nonsense is that? A direct disciple is a direct disciple. If Aunt becomes a junior sister, that makes her a Collateral-Line Martial Aunt of Missing Moon Manor. How am I supposed to rightfully become the Young Mistress?"
"Uh-"
"Enough. Young Master Xie can explain these things to Empress Dowager Guo. They have nothing to do with me, anyway." Xie Jinhuan felt terribly awkward and changed the subject.
"Mm, you wanted to see the world, right? How about I show you around? There's plenty of fun stuff up ahead."
Lin Zisu was clearly much more interested in this. She grabbed his sleeve and ran outside.
"Come on, come on!
