Then Xiaoxi was asked to compete in spell formations. Xiaoxi's mindset was unstable, and she was soon defeated.
Even if she's on solid ground, she still doesn't have a chance of winning.
Xiaoxi felt utterly defeated. In front of Zhou Ye, she felt like a clueless elementary school student. She was angry at herself for trying so hard to repair the chain, yet she was so easily defeated.
As expected, Zhou Ye mocked, "Student Ye, you've lost. Your cultivation level is nothing special. Who is your master? Perhaps he didn't teach you properly?"
Xiaoxi decided to drop the pretense and try a different approach.
"Don't speak ill of my master. He taught me well, but I'm just unlucky enough to no longer be able to cultivate with him! If it weren't for my master, Xiaoxi would have been gone long ago..."
Hearing him mention his master, Xiaoxi thought of how poor her cultivation was and how badly she had been disciplined at home, and felt both ashamed and angry.
Suddenly missing her master, and realizing that she had no one to support her now, Xiaoxi burst into tears.
Zhou Ye was stunned by Xiao Xi's crying and felt a pang of pain in his heart: she said that if it weren't for her master, she would feel like she wasn't even alive. He realized he had spoken too harshly.
Zhou Ye looked at Xiao Xi, who was wearing cute pajamas and hadn't even had time to tie her hair up, sitting on the grass and crying loudly under the moonlight.
It seems a bit much to drag her out for a friendly sparring match in the middle of the night when she's still a young girl.
"Hey? Ye, I didn't say anything about your master. Why are you crying now?"
Xiaoxi was so immersed in her own sadness that she didn't care about anything else.
Zhou Ye was at a loss; he had never taken care of children before.
He was at his wit's end and could only suddenly pull out an ID card.
"Zhou Ye, the highest-ranking officer of the Mystic Secrets Department, has ordered my department's senior specialist, Ye Xiaoxi, to stop crying!"
"What?"
Before Xiaoxi could even wipe away her tears, she immediately jumped up and, in the bright moonlight, carefully examined the document.
It turned out to be my immediate supervisor. Since we're both from the metaphysics department, and this big shot wouldn't do anything to me, I figured he wouldn't.
Xiaoxi then became bolder.
Then she hastily wiped her face and performed an ancient court etiquette.
"So it's you, sir! What an honor to have you come to my humble abode! May I ask, have you come to see this old servant merely to reprimand him?"
This time, Zhou Ye was stunned; her change of expression was too fast.
Zhou Ye was at a loss for words.
Xiaoxi was lost in her own imagination, and her expression changed again.
"Oh, I see. The leader came to get revenge for your subordinates Feng Gong and the other four."
No wonder they were so ruthless.
"That's not right! I've already modified all five of them for you!"
"Ye Xiaoxi, are you saying that Feng Gong and Qian Cuihua came to cause you trouble?"
Zhou Ye's tone suddenly turned fierce.
Xiao Xi shuddered and suddenly understood why Feng Gong and the others had turned pale with fright and fled as if their lives depended on it when this big shot was mentioned.
However, it seems that the bigwig in this department didn't know about Feng Gong and the others, and I accidentally let it slip. Well, Feng, Qian Cuihua, and so on, Xiaoxi is sorry.
Xiaoxi suddenly remembered that she seemed to have Lu Guoan backing her up, so she raised her voice.
"Boss! Even if you are my direct superior, there is no reason for you to come to my house late at night to discuss construction matters. You have no sense of boundaries at all!"
Zhou Ye suddenly gave Xiao Xi a mysterious smile that sent chills down her spine.
“This is my own home. I can come and go as I please. It’s none of your business.”
"What?"
Xiaoxi suspects she misheard; all these events today have caused her intermittent hearing loss.
"You're not my dad's brother, are you? But your surname is Zhou, do I really have to call you uncle?"
Zhou Ye flicked him on the forehead.
"I'm your brother!"
