"My dear daughter, you must listen from now on, and never go out alone again." The Great Elder of Wuji Sect was still unaware that Cheng Miaomiao was rescued by Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan the last time she encountered the Demon Clan. He only knew that this time it was Ye Chenfeng’s Sword Spirit who saved her. After lamenting, he remembered he should give thanks.
Standing up straight, he bowed to Ye Chenfeng and Tianmiao: "I won’t say too much. Whatever you need me to do in the future, as long as I can accomplish it, I will do it without objection."
"Thank you both, what my brother says is my sentiment as well." The Sect Master of Wuji Sect also bowed, his face full of gratitude.
"It was Tianmiao who saved her, I did nothing." Ye Chenfeng said.
"It was a small effort, think nothing of it," Tianmiao waved her hand.
"I’ll thank you another day. I must take Miaomiao back to rest first." The Great Elder made up his mind privately that he absolutely couldn’t let Miaomiao act recklessly. Indulging her actually harms her. She must be kept by his side. If he has any business affairs, he must assign experts to protect her.
Jie Wenzhan arrived after hearing the news. Upon learning that Cheng Miaomiao was attacked by the Demon Clan, Jie Wenzhan felt quite guilty. If he had followed sooner, this would not have happened. After seeing that Cheng Miaomiao was unharmed, Jie Wenzhan was slightly relieved.
"Father, you go back by yourself, I won’t." Cheng Miaomiao rejected outright.
"What’s with you, child?" The Great Elder was a bit angry. After such an incident, didn’t the child promise not to be willful again? Why does she act this way now?
"I want to be with my sister." Cheng Miaomiao pointed at Tianmiao with bright eyes.
The Great Elder looked bewildered. The Sect Master of Wuji Sect, however, understood. It seems that because Tianmiao saved Miaomiao, Miaomiao now relies heavily on Tianmiao.
"Well, could I trouble you to look after Miaomiao for a while? She’s still shaken, and feels secure with you. Sorry to trouble you, our Wuji Sect will surely thank you properly," the Sect Master pleaded with Tianmiao and Ye Chenfeng.
"Ah, then I must rely on you. Thank you both, I will personally visit Canglang Sect and thank the Sect Leader another day," the Great Elder added, after noticing his daughter’s frightened state.
"I just want to be with my sister, not with those two stinky men. Especially him!" Upon hearing her father and uncle’s words, Miaomiao happily ran to Tianmiao, clinging to her hand, yet disdainfully referred to Ye Chenfeng and Jie Wenzhan as the stinky men, pointing at Jie Wenzhan with emphasis.
Ye Chenfeng: "?"
Jie Wenzhan: "???" Women are indeed unpredictable.
The Sect Master and Great Elder of Wuji Sect looked awkward, apologizing: "Sorry, Miaomiao can be a bit headstrong." They looked hopefully at Tianmiao, their faces conveying one message: please take care of our little girl, thank you.
"No problem, Miaomiao is very cute, and her voice is lovely," Tianmiao said with a smile.
"Yes, sister is the best," Cheng Miaomiao happily said, "Sister, I’ll perform for you. My best instrument is the Kong Hou. I’ll play you one song, no, ten songs, no, however many you want. Sister, after the Ten Thousand Ways Assembly, come with me to the Immortal Sound Sect. It’s very beautiful there. I have many senior brothers and sisters, their performances are also very good. I’ll have them play for you too."
"Sure. My favorite instrument is also the Kong Hou," Tianmiao agreed, nodding at the chirpy Cheng Miaomiao.
