In the yard, the lead wolf was a pure white wolf—oh, that must be my sister's pet, Little Snow. But behind the snow wolf, there were seven or eight other wolves of similar size lying around. What was going on?
Feng Qingyun's stomach was trembling. Before she could calm down, she heard her younger sister start shouting.
"Minor Snow, Minor Snow".
Upon hearing Feng Qinghuang's shout, Xiaoxue suddenly became alert, her eyes flashing with ferocity, and she let out a roar.
The seven or eight wolves behind them looked the same.
Once they saw who it was, the group immediately reverted to their silly and adorable selves and ran towards Feng Qinghuang.
Feng Qinghuang was quickly surrounded. The other wolves were nudging her, but one wolf, which looked older, stared intently at Rong Qi and Feng Qingyun.
Feng Qingyun quietly moved behind Rong Qi to avoid the wolf's gaze.
Rong Qi was fine, but Rong Yi, though frightened, still stayed by Rong Qi's side.
Seeing this, Tinglan strode towards the wolf.
Tinglan patted the wolf's head: "Big Wolf, this is Miss's brother and friend, you can't."
Wolf Da watched them for a while longer, and knowing they meant no harm, he ran into the wolf pack to play with Feng Qinghuang.
Seeing that everything was alright, Tinglan invited them into the courtyard.
"Miss's master and senior brother may have gone somewhere else and are not here at the moment."
Feng Qingyun was still feeling lingering fear. She could only imagine what the consequences would be if a stranger came to the courtyard.
Seeing how frightened Feng Qingyun was, Tinglan kindly informed him in advance.
"Young master, the front yard is safer. Please don't go to the back yard. There are dozens of snakes and all sorts of poisonous insects in a deep pit there."
Feng Qingyun was even more frightened. What kind of courtyard was this? Was it a place for people to live?
"Little sister, you've lived in a place like this for over ten years?"
Tinglan nodded: "That's right, Miss caught all these things in the mountains. Isn't Miss amazing?"
Upon hearing this, Feng Qingyun nearly knelt down. His parents had actually asked him to protect his younger sister. Was this some kind of joke? His sister was more likely to protect him.
"Aqi, brother, come here, they are very well-behaved."
Rong Qi wasn't afraid and walked over. Because of Xiao Xue, the other wolves didn't attack Rong Qi.
Feng Qingyun, hiding behind Rong Yi, quickly waved her hand and said, "Little sister, you guys play, I'll just watch from here."
Feng Qinghuang knew her brother was afraid, so she didn't force him.
"Tinglan, why don't you go and tidy up the house for Aqi and your brother?"
Tinglan nodded: "Yes, Miss."
After Tinglan finished answering, she was about to leave when Rongyi quickly followed: "Tinglan, let me go with you. I'll help you pack, and it'll be faster that way."
Feng Qingyun quickly added, "Yes, yes, I'll help too. The three of us can clean up faster."
Feng Qingyun and Rong Yi didn't want to stay here; they'd rather go with Tinglan to tidy up the room.
Tinglan nodded: "Alright, follow me and don't go the wrong way."
The two were startled. What did she mean by that? We mustn't go to the wrong place. Was there some kind of trap? The two could only cautiously follow Tinglan's footsteps toward the room.
In the courtyard, Feng Qinghuang fed the wolves meat, asking, "Were you all well-behaved on the mountain? Did you cause any trouble for your master?"
The wolves quickly shook their heads and howled incessantly.
"Okay, okay, I know. It's good that you're not making a scene, or I would have beaten you up."
Upon hearing her words, the wolves all took a step back.
Rong Qi was somewhat curious. Snow wolves were sacred beasts, so it wasn't surprising that they could understand human speech. Could these wild wolves also be sacred beasts? Otherwise, how could they understand Jiao Jiao's words? Or did Jiao Jiao possess some special ability?
"Jiaojiao, can you understand what they're saying?"
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Yes, I can understand them. I don't know why, but I just understand what they mean."
Rong Qi patted her little head: "Jiaojiao, don't reveal this ability to others easily, keep it a secret."
Feng Qinghuang nodded: "Aqi, I know, that's what Master told us before."
Rong Qi: "Good boy/girl."
Jiaojiao is truly a treasure; what other abilities does she possess that he hasn't yet discovered?
No matter what, he will protect Jiaojiao well.
He grew increasingly curious about what kind of extraordinary person Jiao Jiao's master was, who had raised Jiao Jiao to be so remarkable and possessed such an ability to communicate with animals—something that not everyone could do.
He wanted to get to know this master properly to find out whether Jiao Jiao's ability was innate or acquired.
