Chapter 755: Amazing Voice
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
Xie Xi wanted to say that his eldest sister was fine…
However, she was obedient, so she did not say anything.
“You’d better eat some pastries.” Xie Xi took out a piece of pastry from her pocket and stuffed it into his mouth. “Learn well, Eldest Sister will be happy.”
“So what if she’s happy? She won’t be able to come back…” Xie Pinghuai sighed, “I knew that Eldest Sister’s health was lacking, and she would die sooner or later. But if she dies of illness, there’s nothing that I can say about it. But she died too pitifully…”
He had not spent much time with his eldest sister, but he knew who was good and who was bad to him!
The way his biological sister looked at him was different. He could feel it!
“I will learn well.” His eldest sister’s soul in heaven would bless him in order to take revenge successfully!
Xie Pinghuai said as he studied hard.
The words in these books were still as annoying as before, but Xie Pinghuai did not dare to ignore them this time.
He was very well-behaved.
“Aunt has moved away. I can only stay at home for the time being,” Xie Xi said to Xie Pinghuai.
Xie Pinghuai was stunned.
“Aunt is also very disappointed in me…” He looked even more depressed now.
“Being greedy is not pleasing.” Xie Xi did not know how to coax people and only knew how to tell the truth.
She also thought her second brother had done something wrong.
It was true that she liked silver, but she had to earn it herself and would not take it from others. However, his second brother was used to taking it, so he did not understand.
Xie Pinghuai was silent for a moment.
The brother and sister were, after all, siblings. Xie Xi looked at Xie Pinghuai’s pitiful state and sat under the eaves for a while. She was muttering to herself as she sang a few tunes from the mountain stronghold that she had learned when she was young to coax him. Her voice was as clean as a clear spring, and it was soothing to the ears.
As soon as this sound was heard, a ghoul hovered over from nearby.
Invisible, it flew toward Xie Xi.
“What an amazing voice…” The ghoul’s voice was extremely unpleasant, like a person who did not know how to play an instrument playing an erhu. It was ear-piercing.
The ghoul reached out and wanted to touch Xie Xi’s neck.
However, he was shot back when he touched her.
In the eyes of the ghoul, the little girl in front of him seemed like she had a flash of golden light that enveloped her. He could not touch her!
“Tsk…” The ghoul made a few strange noises and looked very irritable.
He was full of resentment, and his eyes turned red.
Xie Xi did not sense anything wrong. Her head was still swaying, and she looked quiet and beautiful.
…
Xie Qiao did not return to the Xie Residence, but she went to the academy the next day obediently.
Xie Pinghuai also went to the academy, but the two courtyards were far apart, so they would not meet. Moreover, Xie Pinghuai had to follow Teacher Xiao now, so the possibility of seeing Xie Qiao was even lower.
It was already past June, and there were only a few days left before the academy’s examination.
The entire academy was filled with a serious and tense atmosphere.
The students from Orchid Courtyard where Xie Qiao was in were very confident. Fang Muxue and the others had improved a lot recently!
On the other hand, the Peony Courtyard, which was in the same row, was much weaker.
It was all because of Dong Xiyun.
The last time they went to the palace, anyone who helped Dong Xiyun did not receive a reward. After they returned home, their family members would inevitably ask a few more questions.
However, they did not dare to say much about the matters in the palace, and could only grit their teeth and say that they had done something wrong.
As a result, they were all scolded.
They were initially delicate girls who had always been arrogant. Now, they were so embarra.s.sed that they did not dare to see anyone.
Of course, the one who suffered the most was still Dong Xiyun.
Due to what happened in the palace… Her good friends’ att.i.tude toward her had become much colder!
It was fine if they were unimportant people. The most important thing was that the Fourth Prince clearly knew that she had suffered, yet he did not console her. Not only that, she had also heard that these days, the Fourth Prince had gathered together with Teacher Xiao and the others to learn to copy the world map!
It was really a blatant slap to her face!
