"Forget it, I can help you get your elemental powers first. Despite the... Twenty two other seals on your dantian, I can help you with Martial arts."
"But, allow me to stay with you for now, because I am quite... Heavily injured, and the Pagoda can help with my injuries."
"Agreed. When can we start?"
"Meimei, I think you better go back into the outside world first..."
Xuanmei's eyes flashed with disappointment.
"Fine. You two, play nice."
Walking beyond the moon gate and flashing into light, slowly chipping away, Ming turned to the man.
"So, blue pheonix, long time no see. I assume you've been well?"
"Thirteen tailed unlucky cat. Weird of you to appear here, no?"
With a devious grin, the blue pheonix grabbed a chair, relaxing on it aloofly.
"Your main purpose here is..."
"Sorry, cat. My master asked me to do so."
"So, you were just acting?"
The blue pheonix shot him an incredulous look, one that asked, 'Are you kidding?'
"I'm hurt, thirteen. We're brothers and yet you don't know what my personality type is? The honest one is more likely old third, ya know? White pheonix, pure as they say. Anyway, how did you end up here?"
Materialising back in her bed, she walked out of her courtyard, only to see Xuanfen.
Giggling immensely, she told Xuanmei, "The whole family is waiting for you at the courtyard. See you there!"
The corners of Xuanmei's mouth lifted.
Ah, finally something interesting. Thinking til that, Xuanmei walked elegantly and unhurriedly towards the courtyard.
Seeing that she'd arrived, an elder stood up, declaring;
"We have decided to ban you from entering this household. Once it's daylight on the fifteenth, get as far away as possible, making sure to say that you severed ties with our family before taking the element test on the sixteenth. You won't have any element anyway."
Shrugging nonchalantly, Xuanmei asked, " Is that all?"
"If so, please dismiss Xuanmei. She has more important things to do."
"A-Ah, yes. You're dismissed." Still slightly dumbfounded, the elder smiled. How rude and uneducated, arrogant and ignorant!
And to think that getting rid of her was a problem!
Once she leaves for the countryside, assassins would immediately be sent to deal with her! She thinks she can get away? Think again, Xuanmei.
The Xue family won't let you off so easily.
Any wastes from the family would be eradicated! Xue family would forever be noble and powerful, the most powerful!
"Man, how foolish these elders are. Getting rid of me? You think it's that easy? Sorry to disappoint, Xue family."
"Not so easy."
Under the cover of the night, she set up some gunpowder around and above the dirt of the house. Today was the thirteenth, after all.
A mass robbery would be conducted once again tomorrow.
However, this time, she would be as merciless as needed. The cruel people deserved it anyway.
Sneaking back into her courtyard and room, she scattered some gunpowder, so as to destroy the courtyard too.
