Chapter 1997: No One Dares To Bully Her
Xia Xia was well known to everyone in Nine Gate.
Therefore, these female disciples were curious about her, yet no one dared to go near her recklessly due to Qiu Hui’s previous order.
“Aunt Tang…”
Xia Xia raised her hand and grabbed Tang Yin’s sleeve. “Let’s hurry up and find Mother.”
“Alright…”
Tang Yin nodded and turned to look at the group of female disciples. “Do you know how to leave the mountain?”
‘Leave the mountain?’
The female disciples froze for a moment.
“Does the Holy Maiden want to go down the mountain? But Master said you’re not allowed to leave Nine Gate.”
There were still countless dangers outside, and if something happened to Holy Maiden after she left, everyone would be punished severely.
“Maiden Tang, why don’t we wait for Venerable Qiu Hui to return. She will send you away when the time comes.”
Tang Yin looked at the group of female disciples and understood that it was useless to ask them because they would never tell the way down the mountain.
So, she simply stopped talking and smiled brightly. “It’s fine. I’ll just ask casually. You can continue with your work, and I’ll take Xia Xia around.”
“But…”
The female disciple was a little worried. ‘Venerable Qiu Hui also said that Xia Xia was not allowed to leave the mountain when she was not around…
‘However, Maiden Tang is protecting her now, and Hui You is locked up. It should be fine, right?’
“I know what you are worried about. I’m with her, so no one dares to bully Xia Xia.”
Tang Yin swore and patted her chest. “Besides, this is Nine Gate. No one dares to seek death by hurting Xia Xia. At most, they would only curse her, but I, Tang Yin, have never lost in terms of cursing.”
“Alright…”
Only then did the female disciples breathe a sigh of relief and walked away.
Indeed, with Tang Yin accompanying Xia Xia, no one dared to touch their Holy Maiden.
Furthermore, Xia Xia was still young, but she was not the kind that could be bullied easily.
Therefore, there was no need to restrict her freedom too much…
“Let’s go.”
Tang Yin held Xia Xia’s hand and smiled brightly.
When the female disciples left, she took Xia Xia and continued to leave the mountain.
Nine Gate was surrounded by nine mountains; hence it was called Nine Gate.
The gate to leave Nine Gate was on top of one of the mountains.
However, the disciples of Nine Gate were too timid to tell them the way out, so Tang Yin did not continue to ask but took Xia Xia to find the way one by one mountain.
They knew that they would find it soon.
“Aunt Tang…” Xia Xia looked at Tang Yin. “Nine Gate is too big. How much longer do we have to look? If Father and Mother come back, will they go to Aunt Qiu’s place to look for us? What if we miss them?”
Tang Yin was stunned. She thought about it and pondered for a moment. “I don’t think so. Moreover, it takes some time for Xiao Qing to come back. She will not be here in such a short time. But if she is fast enough, we should meet her at the main gate.”
She was not quite sure if Feng Ruqing and Nan Xian had really returned.
What if…
Was she just overthinking?
Tang Yin shook her head helplessly, a bitter smile on her lips.
Five years…
She really… Missed her…
“Xia Xia, when your mother comes back, you must not tell her that I’ve been muddling through these years. You have to tell her that I’ve worked hard on my cultivation. Otherwise, your mother will scold me.” Tang Yin pouted and said with a serious expression.
