“Yeah, not the greatest,” the Wine Master confiron we used to call her Little Pepper She’s still famous for her temper, apparently”

“So, I can only promise I’ll try I don’t think I have much leeway, especially since I intend to live for a few more years,” Lan Jue quipped

The Wine Master chuckled “Do what you can If you learn anything else, tellwell, and will likely pass Whatever you have to do to convince her”

“Alright” That was so he could do

Their conversation was interrupted by a sudden wave of energy that swept through the house The ed above the fields But this black hole was high overhead, and the figures cah in freefall The first was Jue Di, so the top half of his overalls The pants were a ragged mess

Luo Xianni’s descend was purposeful, and direct She slammed in to Lan Jue’s father at full bore Jue Di reacted by crushi+ng her against hiled, but couldn’t wrench herself free of his bear hug

“Let o!” Luo Xianni shouted

Jue Di cackled “Then stop pitching a fit Finish your tantruo”

“Fine” She answered flippantly

He let her go, but the second she had wriggle roo her teeth in to his shoulder

“Aaahhh! Did you just bite me!?” Jue Di yelped The fiercest beasts could tear at the Paragon and he would feel nothing, the strength of his Discipline was indo his defense here, perhaps for fear of hurting Luo Xianni

Lan Jue clapped a hand over his eyes and felt his way back in to the cabin Soht, to spare oneself the trouble

A little while later he heard the door open

“Brat! Get out here, now” Jue Di’s thoroughly irritated voice called to him

Lan Jue was instantly transported to the days when he and his brother suffered thisup to his feet and went outside

“What is it, father?

Jue Di and Luo Xianni were in thea little beat up Xianni was in better shape – at least her clothes were in one piece – while Jue Di looked like he’d been ed

Jue Di’s angry voice called to hi me Father Do you see how o check – there is absolutely zero blood connection between me and this punk I’ve looked after him and his brother since they were small They’re my disciples, my foster children”

Lan Jue was sether the relationshi+p between his master and this Luo faht! I’m not related to father at all”

Luo Xianni sniffed derisively “If not, then fine But if there is, I’ll castrate him”

Jue Di felt himself tense up “Can’t you show at least a little sympathy in front of the boy?”

“I ask again, what aboutfor you for thirty-six years! And you dare talk toface?” She spun on her heels and tore in to the older un to accumulate at the base of her eyes

Thirty-six years? What’s that about, dad? Lan Jue quietly criticized his adopted father But then he sighed, for wasn’t this his doing? He’d co trouble

“Dad, how about you and the Lady Luo talk first? I’ll take a walk around, I haven’t been here for a while so it’ll be Godo to see what’s new” He didn’t even stop talking before he started to trudge away

“Stop!” Luo Xianni shouted again

Lan Jue was starting to get very tired of this conversation

“What are the lady’s instructions?” Lan Jue said with an impossibly sweet smile

This only lary even sharper “How do you know uess?”

Lan Jue looked over to his e the expression in his face

Lan Jue answered with a knowing air “Yes! Father told me He used to talk about you all the tiirl in the universe, he’d say He said her nanized you”

She grunted, thoroughly unimpressed “Stop the bullshi+t A three year old wouldn’t believe that nonsense If he thought about me so much, why didn’t he ever come find me, huh? It’s not like he couldn’t Now tell the truth!”

Lan Jue looked over at Jue Di again, but his father was too busy holding his head in his hands

“The Wine Master told me I just asked him” Lan Jue muttered dutifully
