The House

It sounds more of a threat but Mu Yue would not falter. This was what she wanted the most and will at least try it once.

The two slept peacefully together as if nothing happened. When they woke up, they went directly to the principal.

A she arrives, Mu Yue glared at her father. Leaving her alone in danger made her mad, so the favor of being given the knowledge of the so called Xiao Yan's weaknesses equals out.

"*Cough* The house is already built. It is mostly made out of wooden materials so a certain someone will try not to use her fire. Of course, the kitchen is made out of stone so that it will not cause a fire to break out."

This surprised Mu Yue. "Was the house pre-built? How come it finished so quickly?"

"It was just a simple house. I also had most teachers help me build it up. Don't worry as the house is strong enough to withstand an attack from a Core Formation Cultivator and would definitely not break down from your activities."

"Why would it break down? Its not like we spar inside our room." Mu Yue confusingly asked.

The principal was stunned. He was actually referring to something and this was also meant to be a joke. But it looks like his daughter does not understand and took it literally.

"It seems that you two are good girls. Anyway, for the privacy topic, I've inscribed some arrays in your house. Outsiders cannot peak inside nor hear anything. This was an array I made and it will take a while for even the Soul Formation Cultivators to break it. Of course, those inside can still hear and see what's happening outside using the windows."

The three then went towards the house's location. When it was in sight, the principal stopped.

"That is the house. I still have to do something else so I will now go back."

The two were left alone. Mu Yue then hurriedly went in front of the house and admired it.

"It was built quickly yet it still looks pretty. It was even decorated well."

The house has two floors. A terrace was also attached to a side that one can go to by using the stairs outside or the door of the room connected to it. The whole house was painted with a red-brown theme and it looks good with the nature around it. It also follows ancient Chinese architecture.

The principal said that it was beside the woods. It was true but there was a good distance between the two. There is also a garden of flowers outside and even a pond with fishes that is visible from the terrace.

"You said that you know how it will look like. All I see is a child looking at it with sparkly eyes." Xiao Yan teased.

"I don't care anymore." Mu Yue sighed. She then said, "I lied about a lot of stuff to you… It is so hard to keep faking it out. How do you even do it?"

"It is how I grew up and it comes naturally. You should also learn to do it as it comes in handy in certain situations."

"Can you teach me?"

"Sure, but I would first have to talk about the so called lies. Are you confessing now?"

Mu Yue said that she lied but she will not tell Xiao Yan all of it. She still have to do it once then maybe she will confess.

"Time to go inside!" Mu Yue excitedly slides the door open. Then a spider in its web appeared in front of her.

"%$&@:/#+*©¥£!!!"

Mu Yue was startled as she instantly jumped back, hitting Xiao Yan on the process.

While the two were lying on the ground, Xiao Yan took a peak on the door and laughed, "Spiders? Is that old man even trying his best? Also… Mu Yue, are you afraid of them?"

"N-no, I was just shocked." Mu Yue was already used to the presence of spiders and insects. Foraging in the forest would have one constantly meeting these.

"Well, go on. Lead the way Mu Yue."

Mu Yue knew that these traps were meant for Xiao Yan and she will not certainly be the one to fall for it.

"How is it fair! I was the one who was first in front. It is now your turn."

"Sure"

Contrary to what Mu Yue expected, Xiao Yan was not scared as she went in the house. She burned the first spider to a crisp. Then another one. Followed by a variety of insects burned without damaging the property.

"Insects? Heh, a flamethrower is enough. Good thing I am one."
