Chapter 2284: The Mouth Is Unwilling, but the Body Is Honest
Meanwhile, in the academy’s rear mountain, Xie Xiu was sitting in Xie Daoyun’s room, his chair leaning unsteadily from side to side. He had clearly been tormented by Hei Baizi badly, and finally found some time to take a small break at his big sister’s place.
“Big sis, I heard that many people went to visit Brother Zu. Why are you still here day after day?”
Xie Daoyun had her sleeves pulled up a bit, revealing her bright and exquisite wrists. She was practicing a rune she had recently learned with a brush. When she heard that, her hand shook and ink almost fell onto the paper.

Xie Xiu cried out, “What do you mean? Do you know how much I’m benefiting because I’m your brother? If they aren’t giving me things to eat, they’re helping me with my homework…”
