"But... before I say anything, could you come to class with me today?" Xin'er looked at the snow on the ground and whispered, "If you're really as amazing as the characters in the book, I'll tell you everything I know!"
“Of course!” Tianning said enthusiastically, “Then let’s go have breakfast now and then go to class.”
Upon seeing the two, the steward was clearly surprised that his young mistress would be so close to this person from the Six Sects who had only arrived yesterday.
“Fellow Daoist of the Six Sects, my young lady is not good at speaking. If you have any questions, you can ask this old servant…” the steward hurriedly said.
"I'm not here to ask questions,"
Tian Ning blinked and said sincerely, "I'm just worried that our poor little Xin'er will be bullied by those people from the Wang family again, so I want to stay by Xin'er's side to prevent her from getting hurt!"
The manager said with difficulty, "That would be too much trouble for the guest. I will arrange for a guard to take care of the young lady."
"No trouble at all," Tian Ning said with a smile. "After all, guards can be careless sometimes, otherwise what happened yesterday would not have happened."
"this……"
Just as the steward was about to refuse, Tianning sighed and retorted, "Steward Liu, do you think my cultivation is too weak to protect your young lady?"
Manager Liu: "?"
Tianning: "I know! I know everything!"
"You must think that they are stronger than the senior brothers and sisters who came with me! But I'm only at the Foundation Establishment stage, so weak! Rather than me protecting them, you might as well let my senior brothers and sisters take over!"
"That's what you really think, isn't it?! They say nice things, that they're worried about me and want me to stay in the yard, but actually they just think I'm too weak and don't want to take me with them! You all look down on me!"
Manager Liu: "..."
Manager Liu: "No, guest, you're overthinking it..."
Tianning immediately said, "So you agree!"
"Xin'er, let's go, it's time for class!"
Watching his young mistress obediently follow behind Tianning, Steward Liu felt a sense of unease, even though the girl was indeed only at the Foundation Establishment stage and not as advanced as the others.
But he still made a special trip to report to Madam Yun.
When Tianning arrived at the classroom with Xin'er, he understood why the little girl wanted her to come.
Unlike yesterday's individual instruction from the elder, this time he was taking classes and doing outdoor practice with the Wang family boys.
The new elder demonstrated the effects of various talismans to the children, giving them a deeper understanding of different talismans. The children were amazed as they watched the elder demonstrate the talismans.
Occasionally, the elders would take out some low-level talismans and let them come up and try channeling their spiritual energy into them.
Most of the low-level talismans were not dangerous, but Tianning noticed that Xin'er's nerves were a little tense. When she heard the elder say to go forward and take the talisman she had been assigned, she actually backed away in resistance.
"Don't worry, I'll go up with you," Tianning said softly to comfort her.
"good……"
Xin'er, who had kept her distance from Tianning the whole way, suddenly approached him uneasily and tried to grab his clothes.
Tianning waited until she was in a better mood before going up with her.
"Why are you so slow? You've made so many people wait for you!" It was the boy who had bullied Xin'er yesterday.
Tianning ignored him and said directly to the elder, "Our young lady was frightened by several rabid dogs that bit people yesterday, and she is not in good condition today. I have to accompany her."
"Who are you calling a mad dog?!" The person behind the boy reacted and became furious.
Tianning quickly covered Xin'er's ears: "Miss, don't be afraid, it's just a few barks."
"You're asking for it!"
The boy clearly felt insulted. He activated the talisman in his hand, and a fire dragon flew out of the talisman, rushing towards their direction.
Xin'er instinctively wanted to run away, but she heard a girl's voice above her: "Don't be afraid."
It was only two words, but they calmed her panicked emotions.
She remembered that the fairy in the book had said the same thing to Xin'er when she was in danger...
Just as the fire dragon drew closer, Tianning took out a bundle of water talismans from his mustard seed bag.
Soon, a torrential downpour began to fall from above, extinguishing the bluffing fire dragon.
As for the others, they were all soaked to the bone, while Tianning, without anyone noticing, held up a pink umbrella and shielded Xin'er from the rain.
Only when the rain gradually subsided and the scattered water droplets froze into snowflakes in the cold air did Tianning remove her umbrella.
The little girl's vision cleared, and she looked in wonder at the snowflakes dancing in the air and the beautiful rainbow in the sky. Just like in the book, a fairy had come to save Xin'er...
