Good news, Hoshimi Ya is willing to call her 'Senior Sister' now.
Bad news, the 'Senior Sister' who was pinned down by Hoshimi Ya was also mocked for being weak.
Hoshimi Ya didn't have any ill intentions; she thought it would be a very happy thing to practice with her Senior Sister.
But Yi Xuan's self-esteem was greatly hurt.
She, she could have blocked it.
However, her sword broke, and before she could react, she was pinned down by her Junior Sister, her joints locked, unable to exert any force.
She sniffled, remaining silent.
Just then, a figure walked over.
"Alright, Hoshimi Ya, let go of your Senior Sister... She's only been here for less than a month, it's my fault for not teaching her well."
Yun Ming said, helping the little girl up.
Her eyes were already red, and she tried hard to tilt her head back, not letting the swirling tears fall, looking so pitiful.
But what could one say?
Having self-esteem is good. Just now, Yun Ming almost intervened, after all, that wooden sword hitting the body still hurt quite a bit.
Being beaten by a Junior Sister was also quite embarrassing.
Thinking about it carefully, he could find a better way to teach the child.
Fortunately, Hoshimi Ya abandoned her sword midway.
Otherwise, he really wouldn't have been able to resist intervening, and then it would have been embarrassing, especially after speaking so righteously earlier.
Even Yagami Satsuki was listening.
But that was the little cub he had picked up.
Even if it was embarrassing, he had to protect her.
He held her tear-filled, chubby little face, really wanting to smack her bottom. Why was she so weak?
Not majestic at all.
You are the future Young Sect Leader!
If she had used her spiritual energy and swung at the opponent's sword, at most it would have been a mutual defeat. She was so stupid.
You've made this master lose face, haven't you?
It's fine if Master loses face, but look at you, you've been beaten until you're crying!
Oh, not crying yet.
But this 'about to cry but holding it back' look makes her even more laughable, sigh... "Is the child alright?"
Yagami Satsuki was a little worried, not because she was afraid the other party was injured, she just hadn't expected the Young Sect Leader's esteemed disciple to be defeated in just one move.
Although the way this girl was trying hard not to cry right now was truly irresistibly cute, making one want to laugh.
But as a family matriarch, she still had this much ability to manage her expressions.
"Are you okay?"
Yun Ming poked Yi Xuan's cheek, still maintaining a calm smile, but Yi Xuan clearly saw the teasing.
Yun Ming would say he really didn't.
He was always like this.
Yi Xuan sniffled, saying somewhat stubbornly,
"I'm fine."
Then she whispered something very quietly.
"Master, I'm sorry..."
"What's there to be sorry about? It's just that you couldn't win, it's a small matter, a small matter. This master has endured far more beatings than you."
This sentence was spoken with a forced sound, forming a line.
Others couldn't hear it.
Yi Xuan became honest; she knew Master must be comforting her. How could anyone beat Master when he was so strong?
At this, the little girl also stopped speaking.
She couldn't embarrass Master anymore. She vowed in her heart that she would cultivate diligently from now on!
"Senior Sister, I'm sorry..."
Just then, Hoshimi Ya suddenly popped her head out.
She seemed to have wondered if she shouldn't have knocked down her Senior Sister.
The little fox girl was young after all and didn't know that the martial world wasn't just about fighting and killing, but about human relations.
But she felt that Senior Sister was so pitiful... Hmm, so pitiful, hug Senior Sister.
Yi Xuan froze, and then she couldn't hold back anymore. Tears welled up and began to fall, big teardrops splattering on the ground.
"It's, it's okay."
After saying this, she fled outwards as if escaping, even though she was unfamiliar with the place, she didn't care about so much.
The opponent's mockery was certainly irritating, but what truly stung was the opponent's pity!
Yi Xuan's defenses broke.
"..."
"Did Hoshimi Ya do something wrong?"
"Does Senior Sister not like Hoshimi Ya?"
Hoshimi Ya looked up, confused and helpless, a bit aggrieved, and looking like she was about to cry too.
"No..."
Yun Ming held back for a long time, only managing to utter this one word.
Yi Xuan had already run out of sight at the door, but of course, she wouldn't get lost. He really couldn't help but smile wryly and rubbed Hoshimi Ya's pointed yet soft fox ears.
"Hoshimi Ya is very kind, but your Senior Sister is very strong. Next time, you don't need to comfort her. Yes... that's right, Hoshimi Ya is really great, and strong!"
Hoshimi Ya smiled brightly upon hearing this.
Her two ears twitched slightly, and she obediently let him caress them. Master praised her, why did she feel a little happy?
Yagami Satsuki also laughed at this moment. No, this little white-haired girl was too cute.
Since she was Hoshimi Ya's Senior Sister and an orphan.
She was also half an elder, right?
It truly made one want to dote on her, but she was now a family matriarch, so she had to be more reserved.
Hmm, more reserved.
"Brother, you've had a long journey, so please stay here for the next few days. After all, you need to get to know Hoshimi Ya, and Father has also been saying he wants to see you."
"I'll arrange it right away. You can rest for a while, and I'll send someone to prepare lunch."
