The monk looked at the young girl with indulgence and helplessness, and said with exasperation, "Alright, alright, alright, I won't tell them, okay?"
The young girl immediately changed her expression, clapped her hands, and said, "Done!"
Saying that, she left the monk with a waving goodbye silhouette, and walked straight towards the backyard.
"..." The monk.
If the little girl were present at this moment, she might not be able to resist wanting to spar with the young girl.
This ability to change expressions faster than flipping a book—how does it seem even slightly better than mine?
In the backyard, Hui Yi was having a meeting with his junior brothers in the courtyard.
"Junior brothers, our image in the temple in the past, I don't need to say anything for you to know it in your hearts," Hui Yi said solemnly. "Now, we're about to leave. It's time to leave a good impression on everyone."
The crowd nodded in agreement with this idea.
A moment later, Hui Er spoke up, "Senior brother, your head is big, definitely more thorough than what we can think of, just tell us directly what we should do."
Hui Yi took a deep breath, "Do you believe that if you mention my head again, I'll beat you until you look like me?"
"Uh... I just misspoke, what I really meant to say is that you're older, older," Hui Er hurriedly corrected himself.
The others also helped to smooth things over, "Let's focus on exactly how to change our image."
Hui Yi nodded, doing this was also leaving a way out for himself and his junior brothers, in case they couldn't stay on Xiao Feng's side, this could still be a refuge.
However, at this moment, a clear yet angry voice rang out, "Senior brothers, you seem very happy, could you tell me what's good, so your junior sister can join in the joy?"
All eighteen of them, including Hui Yi, felt a heaviness in their hearts at the instant they heard this voice.
Looking back, they saw a young girl sitting on the wall, wearing a flower crown, with bells tied around her two ankles.
"Haha, little Hua Ling, you're back, come down quickly, don't always climb up and down," Hui Yi laughed, attempting to change the subject.
With one hand on the wall, the young girl exerted force and jumped down directly, surprisingly without making much noise.
"Since senior brother doesn't want to say, let me guess then. Something that makes you all so happy must be related to money, right?" The young girl said softly.
"How could that be? We wouldn't be swayed by such worldly things as money," Hui Yi firmly denied.
"Really?" The young girl snorted coldly, "But I heard that you senior brothers made a fortune today, twenty-four million, that's no small amount."
The eighteen exchanged glances, knowing the auction matter had already been revealed to her, so they all directed their gaze at Hui Yi.
Hui Yi wanted to curse aloud at the time, could they be any less righteous?
The young girl relentlessly continued, "You resorted to raising money using the master?"
"Junior sister, calm down, this was all planned and executed by Uncle Hong Ren, we were just cooperating," Hui Yi hastily explained.
But just as he finished speaking, the girl flashed before him, her look slightly thin fist filling his sight instantly.
"Bang!"
Hui Yi flew back like a kite with a broken string, landing straight into a water vat.
The seventeen others had no verbal or oral exchange, almost instantly scattering when the young girl attacked.
The young girl, unhurried, chased them one by one, evenly, each with one punch.
In no time, the backyard rang with continuous cries of pain, hefty martial monks, like small mountains, couldn't withstand even a single move against the young girl several heads shorter than them.
Sure, Hui Yi and others held back intentionally out of guilt, but being able to punch a nearly two-meter-tall, over two-hundred-pound adult flying, that kind of strength was already frightening enough!
Twenty minutes later, the young girl walked to the tree in the courtyard, pulled an arrow from the quiver on her back, holding the tail of the arrow with one hand, poised to throw it upwards.
"No, no, junior sister, please have mercy, I'll come down right away, won't delay a second." As he spoke, Hui Wu scrambled down from the tree using both hands and feet.
"Fifth senior brother, come over here," the young girl spoke gently, as if her anger had dissipated.
Hui Wu forced a smile, saying, "Junior sister, you should remember when you were little, fifth brother often carried you wandering on the mountain for a whole day, right?"
"Of course, I'll never forget the goodness of fifth senior brother," she replied.
Hearing the girl's words, Hui Wu's hanging heart slightly relaxed, slowly approaching, and smiled, "It's only been a few months, and you've grown so tall. Come, let your senior brother...ah ah ah ah ah!"
Before he finished, Hui Wu was punched in the chest by the young girl and then crashed solidly into the tree with a "bang" sound.
After a long while, Hui Yi rubbed his head, walked up to the young girl, and said with a blackened face, "Have you calmed down?"
The young girl stroked her chin, nodded, "Half calm, what you did was truly excessive."
The martial monks hurriedly admitted their mistake, "Yes, yes, yes, we were wrong, we shouldn't have..."
Before they finished speaking, they heard the girl erupt in anger, "All disciples of the master, you used the master to collect money, yet didn't include me, that's truly going to the extreme!"
"..."
The eighteen were dumbfounded, so you're angry because they didn't share the money with you?
After a while, seemingly having finally extinguished all her anger, the young girl asked, "I heard at the auction this time, thanks to a young man, he took away twenty percent of the net profit?"
"Yes, his name is Xiao Feng, the master gave him the pendant," Hui Yi replied.
"What!" The young girl widened her eyes, "You said his name is?"
"Xiao Feng."
"The master gave him the pendant?"
"Yes."
The young girl fell into a long silence, the expression in her eyes changing rapidly.
Hui Yi tentatively asked, "Do you know Xiao Feng?"
"Sort of," the young girl nodded, took a deep breath, and said, "Where is he now? I want to see him."
"He's already left, not sure where exactly, but definitely within Jiuyou Town."
The young girl furrowed her brows, then relaxed, "I just heard you discussing leaving the temple, are you going with Xiao Feng?"
"The pendant is with him, we'll definitely go with him," Hui Yi said while wringing his wet clothes.
The young girl said nothing more, striding towards the backyard's wall, but after taking two steps, she paused and turned back, saying, "I just heard you discussing how to change your image, without mincing words, don't bother."
"Junior sister, what do you mean?" Hui Yi felt a bit displeased.
The young girl shrugged indifferently, "I'm laying this out there, no matter how you plan it, it will backfire when the time comes, you can try if you don't believe me."
With that, her figure lowered, then suddenly sprang up, leaping over the courtyard wall.
"Did junior sister just leave like that?" someone asked.
"She should be...off to find Brother Feng."
