The little girl turned around, looked at Xiao Feng with a sullen face, and showed a pleasing smile, like a kitten who knows she has done something wrong, coquettishly begging her owner, stunning quite a few members around.

In the past, everyone felt that a woman's allure was most attractive, yet the pure innocence of the little girl had a similarly enchanting effect.

But the next moment, Xiao Feng strode over, grabbed the little girl in front of him, and sternly asked, "What did I say to you before I left?"

This action immediately caused unanimous discontent among the crowd.

Such a cute young girl being treated so rudely, simply barbaric!

The little girl's mouth quivered, and tears swirled in her eyes, feeling wronged: "Brother Xiao Feng, I know I was wrong!"

"I am asking you, what did I say to you before I left." Xiao Feng remained unmoved, still sternly.

Lu Yao hurriedly stepped forward and pried Xiao Feng's hand off, protecting the little girl in front of her: "I have responsibility in this matter, I didn't watch her properly, if blame needs to be placed, it should be on me."

"I'll talk about your part later." Xiao Feng said indisputably: "Now, step aside."

Lu Yao lowered her head, hesitated for a moment, but obediently stood aside.

The little girl burst into tears, immediately diving into Lin Zhiyan's arms, her petite body trembling occasionally, as if sobbing silently.

Wei Shuai and others courageously stepped forward, wanting to persuade Xiao Feng to calm down, the little girl's appearance too pitiful not to soften one's heart.

At this moment, Miao Yueqian clapped her hands, attracting everyone's attention, saying: "Stop watching, everyone back to your posts, let's continue working."

"Captain, but..." Wei Shuai pointed at the little girl, looking hesitant.

"But what? Do you find the training not tough enough?" Miao Yueqian reprimanded: "Three-second countdown, whoever remains here, training intensity will double for them."

Upon hearing this, many people quickly pulled Wei Shuai away, the little girl's pitiful appearance was indeed heart-wrenching, but they also didn't believe Xiao Feng could really bear to treat the little girl harshly.

At this time, Xiao Feng looked expressionlessly at Lin Zhiyan, the warning couldn't be more obvious.

And Lin Zhiyan instantly felt a pressure coming, making her have an uncontrollable urge to stay away from this man in front of her, making her realize Xiao Feng was truly angry...

It's clear, the little girl is quite clever.

The ones present capable of stopping Xiao Feng were roughly Miao Yueqian, Lu Yao, and Lin Zhiyan, Lin Jiaxuan could barely count as half.

Little girl certainly couldn't choose Miao Yueqian as her shelter, Lu Yao obviously couldn't suppress Xiao Feng, the remaining options were only Lin Jiaxuan and Lin Zhiyan sisters.

Among these sisters, Lin Jiaxuan usually called the little girl 'sister', with her love for face, she certainly couldn't choose her.

Thus, Lin Zhiyan became her only hope.

At this moment, the little girl cautiously turned her head from Lin Zhiyan's embrace and choked out: "Brother Xiao Feng, I promise I won't run around anymore, don't be mad at me, please?"

"I'm asking you, your phone was dead, couldn't you borrow someone else's phone to call in place of sheltering from the rain?" Xiao Feng, still angry, replied.

The little girl explained: "I thought about borrowing someone else's phone to call, but I didn't remember Lu Yao's phone number."

"Ha!" Xiao Feng laughed from the anger: "Didn't remember Lu Yao's number, how about mine? At the very least, call the police, Song Keren could relay your situation."

"I..." The little girl rubbed her eyes and said softly: "I didn't expect so many people would go out looking for me at the time, next time when I want to go to the bathroom while shopping, I'll hold it, if I can't hold anymore, I'll have Lu Yao accompany me."

These words made everyone laugh and cry, only the little girl could say such things.

"Anyway, Shihan is back, so everyone can rest assured." Lin Zhiyan broke in to ease the situation.

Then, she held the little girl's shoulders with both hands, her face serious: "However, you must learn from this incident and avoid making similar mistakes next time."

"Uh-huh." The little girl nodded repeatedly, sincerely: "I will definitely take it as a caution, it won't happen again."

Seeing these two be on the same page, wanting to turn over this chapter, Xiao Feng was dissatisfied: "You think by protecting her like this, you're doing her good? You're all wrong, this is harming her!"

Xiao Feng scanned the crowd's faces with his eyes, questioning: "Nothing happened now, but if she encountered someone with bad intentions, would regret be of any use at that time?"

Everyone was silent, while the little girl inopportunely defended herself: "I've learned a lot from Zhiyan sister, even if encountering bad people..."

She quickly covered her mouth after saying this, clearly realizing she misspoke.

Lu Yao and others all had speechless expressions, the little girl previously emphasized not telling Xiao Feng about this matter, but now just one sentence and she uncovered herself.

Xiao Feng stepped forward two steps: "Think I don't know about this? Learn a few days of tricks and think yourself invincible?"

Lin Zhiyan angrily glared, what 'tricks'?

But thinking she indeed couldn't beat Xiao Feng, had to suppress the anger.

"What? Unconvinced?" Xiao Feng looked at Lin Zhiyan: "I once heard people say, some master and some disciple, I didn't believe it then, but now I do. I entrusted Mu Shihan to you, and this is how you taught her?"

"Enough!" Lin Zhiyan shouted impulsively, thoroughly bursting: "You just want to give her a profound lesson, right? Fine! I guarantee she'll never forget it!"

With that, she untied the long whip around her waist, swung it forcefully with a resounding 'snap'.

"Mu Shihan!" Lin Zhiyan shouted sternly.

"Zhiyan sister?" The little girl's body trembled, a bad premonition rising from her heart.

Lin Zhiyan turned her head, her expression cold: "Not teaching you well, I must take full responsibility, I will bear ten lashes for you, hope you can remember."

The little girl was startled, hurriedly grabbed Lin Zhiyan's wrist: "Zhiyan sister, if there has to be punishment, punish me, I made the mistake, can't let you bear it for me."

Lu Yao also stepped forward to persuade: "It's not your fault, I didn't watch Shihan, if punishment needs to be taken, it should be me."

"Shihan sister, I will share the punishment with you." Lin Jiaxuan came over and said.

Seeing everyone expressing their stance, Miao Yueqian realized she must too, promptly saying: "If there's a punishment, we'll take it together!"

Lin Zhiyan handed the whip to Xiao Feng: "Go ahead!"

Xiao Feng: "???"

This damn!

Why did he feel he was isolated?

After a long standoff, Xiao Feng snorted coldly, turned, and left, understanding one thing, he shouldn't have reprimanded the little girl in front of so many people.

In retrospect, he underestimated the little girl's popularity.

Still, it was not a big deal, the little girl knew what's right or wrong, he believed she would learn from this incident, and she might be quiet for a while as well.

"Xiao Feng said one thing right," Lin Zhiyan looked at Xiao Feng's departing back and said softly.

Miao Yueqian looked at Lu Yao, Lu Yao looked at Lin Jiaxuan, then the three exchanged a look, asking in unison: "What?"

"By protecting Shihan like this, we are not helping her, but harming her." Lin Zhiyan took a deep breath: "So, externally, we can protect Shihan, internally, we must monitor her more strictly."

Lu Yao nodded: "At least she must know how to handle danger, with her current ability, she can deal with untrained ordinary people, but dealing with trained ones is far from enough."

Just at this time, Lin Jiaxuan said gloomily: "Did you notice Shihan sister has already sneaked away?"

Lu Yao: "..."

Lin Zhiyan: "..."

Miao Yueqian: "..."

The awkward atmosphere lasted for a while, everyone dispersed, aggressively beginning the search to find the little girl for reckoning.
