Chapter 173: Matriarchs Return (1/2)
Xiao Fang and Li Xiang arrived outside of the Tiger-Class residential area. Since only Tiger-Class disciples were allowed access into this area, Xiao Fang waited outside of the barrier as Li Xiang went in.
A few minutes later, Xiao Hei rushed out of the barrier and crashed into Xiao Fang.
”Fang!~” she said happily as she ran into his arms.
”Hahaha, did you miss me?” He said as he brushed her hair.
”Un, I missed you a lot,” she replied as she snuggled her head against his body.
Xiao Fang suddenly stopped brushing her hair then he started acting mad.
”Ho ho, didn't I tell you not to call me by my real name. Repeat after me, Long Wang, Long Wang.”
”Fang~ Fang~” she said happily.
Xiao Fang's eyebrow twitched.
”Acting cute won't save you. If you don't say it right, I'm really going to punish you.”
She looked down at his body then grinned.
”Daddy can punish me whenever he likes,” she said in a cute tone.
'There she goes calling me Daddy again...' Xiao Fang thought. He assumed he'd eventually get used to it, but he still found it was a bit strange.
Xiao Fang realized what she was doing. She might've seemed cute and unaware, but he knew she was much smarter than she appeared to be.
”Fei Lin, we can have fun later, there are a few things we need to do first.”
Xiao Fang explained his plan for the day, but as he was explaining it, Li Xiang suddenly stepped out of the barrier. The barrier was transparent, but since he couldn't hear anything past it, he couldn't sense Li Xiang coming.
”Fei Lin, you're so fast!”
Li Xiang struggled to speak because she was out of breath. She noticed that Xiao Hei was standing inappropriately close to Xiao Fang, but she didn't comment on it.
”Li Xiang, I must thank you for helping me find Fei Lin, I don't think I would've been able to find her so soon without your help.”
”Don't mention it,” Li Xiang smiled. ”So, what are you going to do now?”
”We're going to look for a guild,” Xiao Hei suddenly said.
”Ah, a guild? Can I come?”
Xiao Hei looked up at Xiao Fang as if she was looking for his permission.
...
Li Xiang felt guilty that she couldn't let them join her Li Family Clan's Guild, so she wanted to help them in anyway she could.
Xiao Fang on the other hand couldn't understand why she was being so friendly with him. No one in the Divine Sword sect was ever so charismatic and easily trusting of strangers like her, so it was something he wasn't used to.
What he didn't know was that she was only acting this way because of the help he gave her during the maze test in the inner court exam. Without his help, she didn't think she would've passed that test at all.
...
”Sure, why not,” Xiao Fang said.
Xiao Hei and Li Xiang looked at each other with excited looks on their faces. As Xiao Fang began to walk towards the guild recruitment center, the two girls followed close behind him.

Meanwhile outside of the Matriarch's hall, the Matriarch's carriage finally arrived and stopped in front of 6 Supreme Elders. The Supreme Elders were all formally dressed and each of them were emitting an overwhelming aura that made them seem like deities. One Supreme Elder gestured for the carriage escorts to leave, so the 7 core court disciples bowed their heads then left, taking the beasts with them.
A few seconds later, the doors opened and the Matriarch stepped out. One Supreme Elder approached the Matriarch to greet her.
