Chapter 520: The Melancholy Young Girl

Time flies, and twenty years of time have flowed away between the fingertips.

Langya Heavenly Palace.

Xiao Han lay on a chair, basking in the sun with a relaxed and composed air; the sunlight shone down, warm and pleasant, allowing his old bones, long accustomed to the battlefield, to relax for a moment.

Suddenly, a yellowed little booklet flew over from afar and "slap!" hit the completely unprepared Xiao Han in the face.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Han took the book off his face and looked closely: "108 Ways to Kill Your Father."

No need to think twice; who else could this evil book, overflowing with great malice toward a father, come from but his own unfilial daughter?

Xiao Han didn't care; a little chick who had only just broken the first seal and whose strength had barely stepped into the Three Days Realm wanted to play dirty with him? She was still far off!

With a casual toss, this little yellow book immediately headed home, accurately slamming into the head of a certain young girl outside the courtyard.

The girl's three thousand strands of dark hair hung down to her waist like a waterfall, simply secured by a green jade hairpin; her watery eyes were full of cunning, her nose small and delicate, her lips exquisite and cherry-red, and her light pink dress set off the girl's cuteness, while the silver bells on her wrists emitted a crisp "clang" with her movements, every gesture revealing clarity and liveliness.

At this moment, the girl was silently rubbing her forehead, her little face slightly flushed—not from pain, but purely from anger.

When Xiao Mu picked up the booklet by her feet, the title on the cover had already been painted black, replaced by a line of handwriting that made her face turn pale—"Allowance halved!"

"Detestable old dad, cutting my allowance again!"

"Little Tiger, I can't live like this anymore!"

Xiao Mu grabbed the soft fur all over the big tiger beside her on the spot and wailed loudly, her free-flowing tears wetting the tiger's fur, causing the tiger to raise its head and look at the sky, its eyes full of helplessness.

If one had known it would come to this, why do it in the first place?

Why always pull the whiskers of one's own benefactor?

Furthermore, are you really the type of person who lacks that bit of allowance?

Of course, given the deep friendship between himself and the girl, the tiger decisively chose to swallow his inner complaints; it was definitely not for those few Medicinal Pills.

The Holy Winged Heavenly Tiger named Little Tiger just stayed quietly by Xiao Mu's side; according to past experience, this girl would be over it in about the time it takes to burn a stick of incense, and by then, she would still be that little princess who frolicked everywhere in the sect.

Unfortunately, this time Xiao Mu seemed to want to pull some new tricks; after crying, the girl suddenly raised her head, her big eyes staring expectantly at the Holy Winged Heavenly Tiger, making the latter feel an immediate sense of foreboding—this expression...

It was the rhythm of making trouble!

"Little Tiger, shall we go out and play?"

Sure enough, the girl opened her mouth and gave him a rather explosive idea; the Holy Winged Heavenly Tiger's tiger eyes widened—sister, your idea is a bit stimulating!

Do you know where this is?

It's the border!

Not long ago, the Outer Realm Evil Clan snuck in to make trouble and were wiped out; their bones aren't even cold yet!

Can you show them some basic respect!

What gratified the Holy Winged Heavenly Tiger was that Xiao Mu perfectly inherited the intelligence and calmness of her parents in major matters; she didn't intend to charge into the battlefield, but was preparing to go to the interior.

"I heard from the senior brothers that at the beginning of next month, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy is recruiting students from the entire Great Thousand World. I'm going to find Mother now and have her approve my study at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy; it will definitely be no problem!"

Xiao Mu said these words with full confidence, and Little Tiger had no objections; going to school was a good thing!

Moreover, not only Xiao Mu, but he had also stayed in the Langya Heavenly Palace for twenty years and naturally wanted to go to other places to see the scenery, so the girl and the tiger hit it off immediately and left excitedly.

"Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?"

I don't know when, but Xiao Han quietly appeared on the wall, his fingers lightly pinching his chin, the corners of his mouth unable to stop rising, full of a malicious smile.

This smile was not directed at Xiao Mu, but at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy; knowing his daughter's temperament well, he knew that with that restless nature of hers, the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy probably wouldn't be very peaceful this time.

It just so happened that in recent years, the quality of Disciples recruited from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy had declined slightly; the little girl could go and give that group of ivory-tower kids a little bit of Langya shock.

"You want to go to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy?"

Yi Huang looked at her daughter with slight surprise; this girl didn't want to wreak havoc on her own family and was preparing to go cause trouble elsewhere?

"Dearest Mother, can I, can I?"

Her sparkling big eyes revealed a look of anticipation.

"Are you sure you can keep yourself honest?"

"Absolutely!"

Xiao Mu patted her chest with a thumping sound.

"Alright then, as long as you can stay honest this month, I'll let you go to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy next month."

Yi Huang wore a playful smile at the corner of her mouth; out of a deep understanding of her daughter, she didn't believe a single word of the latter's.

"Hmm?"

Xiao Mu's eyes widened slightly, and she laughed dryly:

"There are only five days left until departure next month; there's not enough time, right?"

"Of course there is enough time."

"The sect has a super-large Transfer Spirit Array that goes directly to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, guaranteeing you will be sent to the Northern Heavens Realm ahead of time."

Just kidding, the Langya Heavenly Palace recruited from the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy every year; if there were no Transfer Spirit Array, just the journey back and forth would take half a year, which was simply a disgrace for a sect famous for its Spirit Arrays!

Little one, actually wanting to use the excuse of using a large Teleportation Array to run wild everywhere—no way!

"Oh."

Xiao Mu replied with a bitter little face, turned around, and walked dejectedly toward the door.

"Wait a moment."

At this time, Yi Huang called her from behind; thinking her mother had granted a special favor and was about to change her mind, Xiao Mu turned around excitedly.

"Since you are going to the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, then cultivate hard; don't bring so many worldly possessions."

Xiao Mu only regretted why she hadn't hurried out just now; now it was over, her little treasury was gone!

Sure enough, Yi Huang coldly announced the verdict on her daughter.

"Leave behind one hundred drops of Supreme Spiritual Liquid, a set of Protective Saint Artifact, Divine Artifact, and Spirit Array; hand over everything else."

"Oh right, one more thing: during your time studying at the Northern Heavens Spiritual Academy, I will temporarily keep the earnings from the Array Diagrams under your name for you, and return them to you when you finish your studies."

Stumbling out of the room in a daze, the blinding sunlight shone on her face; Xiao Mu only felt the world go black before her eyes and lose its color. The Da Qian world was vast, yet there was no place for her to stand, and she found herself unable to breathe. It hurt, it hurt so much!

Money! That was her money!

"Xiao Mu, don't be sad anymore."

Just as Xiao Mu was heartbroken, the big tiger beside her spoke up. Just when she thought her best friend would say something heartwarming,

"Mother said she will continue to supply my Medicinal Pill, so you don't need to go to the expense."

That stings!

Xiao Mu was even sadder.

Was she really concerned about the Supreme Spiritual Liquid? Although she did care quite a bit.

But this was blatant discriminatory treatment!

Why?

Aren't daughters the apple of their parents' eyes? Xiao Mu once again doubted whether she had been picked up from the side of the road.

But that didn't seem right either!

Thinking of her Senior Brother Xiao Wu and Senior Sister Xian'er, weren't they both picked up by her parents?

Why was she so special, suffering exploitation from her parents all day long? Could she be the daughter of an enemy?

"Sigh!"

Seeing Xiao Mu standing motionless on the spot, Little Tiger could only sigh helplessly. The little girl's imagination was too wild, doubting her own identity—she must have read too many storybooks!

While Xiao Mu was filled with melancholy, Xiao Han looked at the letter in his hand with a grave expression, his eyes filled with cold light.

"Mohe Ancient Clan!"
