Chapter 46 Don’t Blame Me for Being Rude_1
Dugu Zixi smiled warmly and spoke in a calm and gentle tone, "I will ask her about it. She’s still in school and quite young. She says she doesn’t want to become famous and wants to live a quiet life for a few more years, so she has been hiding from the world, living the simple life of an ordinary person."
Upon hearing that Little Xingxing was living the simple life of an ordinary person, the old master’s eyes suddenly lit up, "True hermits are hidden in the crowd, isn’t that the truth! If it weren’t for Zixi, we would never have imagined that such a young master could exist in the world!"
In the eyes of the patriarch, it was fine as long as one didn’t live away from society in the remote mountains and forests. If they were truly reclusive, he would be more worried.
But high masters like this one, who lived hidden amongst ordinary people for a long time, surely understood the ways of the world better. When dealing with them in the future, it would be more relaxed without the need for his family to look up to her in awe.
Dugu Zixi chuckled and proceeded to instruct them about his plans.
"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, I will be learning from Xiaoxing in the upcoming period. Little Xingxing knows spells and can transport me right out of my room, so you should not enter my room lightly in the future. If you call me and I don’t answer, or if you find that I’m not in my room, don’t worry about me; I’m definitely with Little Xingxing."
After hearing this, the old master spoke seriously, "Zixi, you are the sole heir to the Dugu Family. We can do as you ask, but how can we be certain that if you are not in your room, it’s Little Xingxing who has taken you away and not someone else?"
Dugu Zixi laughed softly, "Grandpa, you forgot, I am now a martial arts expert as well. It’s not as easy for ordinary people to mess with me as it was before."
After a moment’s thought, Dugu Zixi added, "Still, you raise a good point, Grandpa. Here’s what we’ll do: If I leave with Xiaoxing, I’ll stick a smiley face sticker behind the door. If one day I forget to stick this smiley face sticker and you don’t find it, just shout for me in my room and I should be able to hear your call."
Assured by Dugu Zixi’s words, the old master finally felt relieved, "Alright then, we’ll do as you say. You’re still young now, so for these next few years, just focus on improving yourself. For the time being, there’s no need for you to worry about family affairs."
