The Naughty Senior Sister
Aunt Yueyin Uses Her Brain to Think
After listening for an hour and a half of explanation from Su Yueyin, Lan Xihe could not help but massage her forehead. Sometimes, he felt there was little responsibility for this child's mindset.
Right, the mindset of absolute power above all else was one of Lan Xihe's doctrines to his junior, Su Yueyin. The boy was also innocently amazed at Lan Xihe's strength, then he had always followed the senior's crooked doctrine until now.
Lan Xihe let out a heavy sigh then said, "Do you think that only General Lao is the mastermind of this savage scheme?"
Su Yueyin's small mouth formed a circle, as if confused. His head is tilted slightly with his index finger on his chin. With his innocent and cold face, he said, "Junior only thought of that because of the opinion of Senior's oldest disciple, other than that Junior doesn't know."
Su Yinfeng who saw how the mindset of his youngest disciple could only smile wryly. He thought that these youngest disciples should be given additional lessons when they returned to the sect. Meanwhile, Lan Xihe patted Su Yueyin's small head with an expression of pity.
'This kid even just took what the naughty disciple said! When viewed from his self-awareness, that naughty disciple was at least safe.'
'But what makes the system say that it is in danger? Did he intentionally hurt himself?'
While Lan Xihe was still pensive in her thoughts towards her mischievous disciple scheme, Su Yinfeng spoke up to give guidance to Su Yueyin.
"Yin'er, next time you have to pay attention to every little detail while on duty. Not everyone can submit to absolute power, let alone when the ability of reason can attract a power greater than yours at the moment."
"Let's take the example of your nephew, Yan Xu. Do you know what he was thinking when he told you that General Lao might come with bad intentions?" Su Yinfeng who was currently turning into his original form stared warmly at his youngest disciple.
Su Yueyin started thinking about how to answer her teacher's question, but her head was completely unable to find a single answer.
"Murid can't think of the answer, Master," Su Yueyin replied with a regretful expression.
Su Yinfeng who had expected that answer would come out of the mouth of his youngest disciple nodded slightly, then he used the usual method of adjustment in explaining patiently so that if it could be understood by Su Yueyin.
"Mo Li introduced General Lao earlier, didn't he?"
Su Yueyin nodded and replied, "Mo Li introduced General Lao as the one guarding the front line of the southern continental border, where it was prone to war against foreign tribes. He explained his arrival back then on the imperial decree."
"Just think about it, General Lao's job is the same as yours. You both act as a watchdog, for the sake of guarding something. Then, imagine again ... "
"Would it make sense that your superiors would order you to look after others, while you would have to leave behind the disciples that were supposed to be guarded?"
Su Yueyin replied seriously, "If it was Master's order, the disciple would immediately obey him without a second thought— Aiya! Why did the teacher hit the head of the Disciple?!"
Su Yinfeng let out a long sigh and said, "Do you think I would give such an order? Leaving behind tens, hundreds or even thousands of people just for the sake of keeping one person?"
Su Yueyin nodded in doubt.
Su Yinfeng hit the head of his youngest disciple again with a gentle gesture, then said, "That's impossible! Even if you are a Great Emperor Ming!" Su Yinfeng crossed his two index fingers in front of the eyes of the youngest disciple.
"Oh, .. why is that impossible, Master?" There was a curious glint in Su Yueyin's bright black eyes.
Before Su Yinfeng replied, Lan Xihe who was standing next to Su Yueyin patted and stroked her head gently while saying, "A chess player will not sacrifice many pieces, either, just for the sake of securing one piece that can be thrown away at any time."
"Sacrifice will always be in the game of chess to trick, eat the opponent's piece slowly, turn the pawn into a queen or other pieces according to his role so that it can tear down the opponent's side and ..."
Lan Xihe paused for a moment to take a breath, then continued, "Master the entire chessboard."
"Chess? The player? A pawn?" Su Yueyin frowned because she did not understand.
Su Yinfeng who saw this smiled bitterly, he felt sorry for his sister who had difficulty explaining anything to Su Yueyin. It was not that Lan Xihe was not good at explaining, it was just that Su Yueyin needed an explanation whose frequency was the same as her way of thinking.
Su Yinfeng tried to explain back the intent of Lan Xihe.
".... Are you willing to let that bottle of wine get stolen, just because you were protecting one bottle of wine that could only be enjoyed for a minute in a place far from the warehouse?"
Su Yueyin's expression became firm and quickly replied, "Of course not, Master! Ridiculous for the sake of just one bottle of wine gourd, I had to give up a stock that could meet my one-year needs!"
Su Yinfeng continued, "That's how Great Emperor Ming would think."
Su Yueyin's face immediately made an expression like saying, 'Oh!' and it could be seen a bright shining light coming out from inside his head.
Su Yueyin cupped her hands together and said, "Murid can finally understand what Master meant. The saying that listening to Master is better than reading a book for decades is true! Master's wisdom has broadened the horizons of Disciple's insight!"
Su Yinfeng nodded happily, as he had expected, 'The wine logic is the most powerful way to teach Su Yueyin!'
Lan Xihe who saw how to teach Su Yinfeng nodded and kept that as a reference in her mind. Who knew he would have a disciple whose mindset was almost the same as Su Yueyin, at least he was grateful that the two mischievous disciples had a good understanding.
Sir!
Su Yinfeng patted his two slender hands then said, "Return to the initial question, what was Yan Xu thinking upon the arrival of General Lao?"
Su Yueyin replied with fiery eyes, "General Lao came with ill intentions and his reason for using the imperial edict as a pretext, it is a fake!"
Prok! Prok! Prok!
Su Yinfeng and Lan Xihe applauded the development of an answer that Su Yueyin should not be able to answer.
Su Yinfeng gave his thumbs up and said, "Right! That's a very good answer!"
Su Yueyin who did not expect that she could have thoughts to that extent blushed after getting the praise. However, when he recalled every detail he missed, he immediately realized one thing. Su Yueyin's beautiful eyes immediately widened, as if it was about to come out.
He immediately exclaimed, "Oh! So, Mo Li was also one of General Lao's conspirators! And when Senior says that Yan Xu is with each other, that means ..."
Su Yueyin who did not pay attention to the surprised expressions of her teachers and seniors, continued to think hard until a while later she finally found the right sentence and immediately uttered it.
"Right now Yan Xu was with Wang Jia Li and they were still safe. If you can still relax, then the conclusion is two ...."
"First, they managed to escape and hide until waiting for reinforcements from the sect to come. If it was Yan Xu, he would have already thought that the elders of the sect would come, so they just needed to avoid the enemy."
"Secondly, they managed to foil the plan and were in a safe condition. Senior cannot sense the presence of anyone other than the two of them, the chances of the enemy being dead are not low!"
"Is it possible that the two of them can defeat all the enemies? That means, isn't Mo Li and General Lao dead as well?" Su Yueyin looked at Su Yinfeng and Lan Xihe alternately with her cold face asking for an answer.
The two women looked at each other, a shock they could not hide so much appeared on each other's faces. In the minds of the two women, they had one thought in common.
'This kid, if he uses his brain, turns out he can generate very deductive thoughts!'
After a while had passed, Su Yinfeng cleared his throat then replied, "Yes, most likely all the enemies have perished. Ever since we came, we've seen with divine consciousness some of the battle marks are also large craters that have just formed."
Su Yueyin felt disbelief because what they were talking about were two disciples the other one was in the mystic realm, the other was only the fifth stage of the golden core. There was no way they could destroy all the enemies! Su Yueyin turned her gaze towards Lan Xihe.
On the opposite side, Lan Xihe simply nodded as a sign of approval.
Su Yueyin: "Are you guys plotting to trick me?( ⁇ )"
