This big tiger was usually very majestic and overbearing. Everyone in the garden knew it was Xiao Jingxi's favorite pet, so no one dared to do anything to it. This made it even more unruly. Whenever it got upset, it would roar like a tiger to show its displeasure. However, when it was in front of the Second Young Master Xiao, it lost all its temper and behaved like a big dog.
Xiao Jinglin once mocked Xiao Jingxi, saying, "No matter how good you are at pretending, it's useless in front of a silly girl!" A tiger doesn't judge people by their eyes, but by their noses. It's obvious that you have the stench of a villain deep in your bones.
In the end, thanks to Ren Yaoqi's plea, Silly Girl was spared the fate of being caught and beaten, and happily followed them to the Basil Pagoda. However, the silly tiger's bad habits remained. After every few steps, it would imitate a cat chasing flies, swatting butterflies, and playing with its tail. Along the way, it was the one who had the most fun entertaining itself.
There were indeed people guarding outside the Basil Pagoda, but with Xiao Jingxi there, the guards didn't even raise their eyes when the three of them and the tiger went in. Instead, Pingguo Hongying and the others were left outside.
When Ren Yaoqi had seen it from afar, he'd thought the tower was tall, but it would be very cramped inside. However, once inside, he discovered that each floor was spacious. The first floor was completely empty, with nothing inside. The second floor, however, had a square table with a chessboard on it, and a precious chess set on top.
Bookshelves appeared from the third floor. They were as high as the roof and surrounded the walls, filling the entire room and even blocking the windows. The light in the tower was very dim. Xiao Jingxi walked in front with an oil lamp that he had found from somewhere. As he went up the stairs, he turned his head to pay attention to the person following him.
Ren Yaoqi was a little curious about this tower that was so mysterious to the living people, so she looked around as she walked, wondering if there would be any wonders on the next floor. Unfortunately, when she reached the eighth floor, all she could see were bookshelves.
Fortunately, the sky on all four sides of the eighth floor was not blocked, and light shone in, making the tower instantly bright.
Xiao Jingxi blew out the oil lamp in his hand and placed it in a secret compartment next to the stairs.
Ren Yaoqi was about to turn around and talk to Xiao Jinglin, but found that Xiao Jinglin was gone.
"Jinglin?" Ren Yaoqi shouted, and her voice kept echoing in the tower, and there were seven or eight echoes. She was startled.
"This tower is actually called the 'Echo Tower'." Xiao Jingxi's voice sounded nearby, and an echo also appeared.
Ren Yaoqi's heart skipped a beat when he saw the person standing so close to him.
No one spoke when she went upstairs before. She was always paying attention to her feet and heard footsteps behind her, so she thought Xiao Jinglin followed her. Now she thinks that the footsteps she heard before might have been an echo.
