156: Peculiar Shop

Peculiar Shop

Yuan Bin ran away clumsily. He was too embarrassed to see anyone. Sensing the surprised eyes around, Xie Pinghuai could not help but glance at Xie Qiao twice.0

It had been two years since he had come to the Royal Academy. He had not improved throughout the two years, so he was still at the Begonia Courtyard. Many people made fun of him and his sister, and he had heard too many horrible things.

It was the first time that people were looking at him and criticizing someone else!

The feeling was just too strange!

Yuan Bin was too pitiful to have become Xie Pinghuai's replacement when it came to scolding!

Also, his eldest sister was too capable. She had won such a confusing bet!

Xie Pinghuai's eyes lit up as if there were stars in his eyes.

"Eldest Sister, you're so lucky!" Xie Pinghuai complimented sincerely after the people left.

"This is my ability." Xie Qiao lifted her head in all seriousness. She looked gravely serious.

Xie Pinghuai was even more excited upon seeing her like that. "Eldest Sister, you look very intimidating like that. As long as you don't tell your name, people will definitely think that you're a lady from a respectable family!'

Xie Qiao rolled her eyes at him faintly. She was a lady from a respectable family from the beginning, alright?

"Oh, Eldest Sister, guess who I ran into yesterday? On East Main Street…" Xie Pinghuai said mysteriously.

Xie Qiao turned her head.

She knew.

"You definitely won't guess it! I saw Teacher Xiao! Teacher Xiao… is completely different outside compared to when he's at the academy! Eldest Sister, I suspect there's something wrong with Teacher Xiao's head! He shopped at a peculiar shop yesterday. The shop sells safety talismans and wooden dolls. It looks eerie. However, Teacher Xiao said the shop's merchandise is amazing! Do you think there's something wrong with him?" Xie Pinghuai mumbled immediately.

Xie Qiao's eyelids twitched.

'It's eerie? I don't think so!'

Her shop had many big windows. She had looked at the feng shui herself. The customer should feel comfortable when they stepped in. How was it possible that they would find it eerie?

Xie Qiao frowned hard. "Is the shop really eerie? What's wrong with it?"

"It's strange, not a shop that ordinary people would run. I suspect a swindler is running it. I wonder how Teacher Xiao is involved. He even brought a bramble back to the academy yesterday. It was scary." Xie Pinghuai thought it was terrifying just by thinking about it.

"Eldest Sister, must I make that person my Master? He looked lecherous yesterday, like a dog seeing a bone. He was high-spirited. I bet even nine bulls could not pull him away. He seemed like a different man!" added Xie Pinghuai.

He was terrified when he recalled yesterday's event.

Oh yes, Teacher Xiao had even asked him to copy a book!

He had yet to make him his Master, and he was already punished. If he became his Master, would that not mean that his hands… would be busy?

Xie Pinghuai thought about it and felt terrible.

Xie Qiao suddenly said fiercely, "Teacher Xiao… isn't too shabby. Many people have tried to make him their Master. You're considered to have the opportunity now, learn to respect your teacher. Or I'll tell Eldest Brother and get him to beat you up." 

He was complaining that Teacher Xiao was terrible? He should not do that!

She had begged for the opportunity with her dignity!

Xie Pinghuai felt troubled.

Everything was great about his eldest sister. She was pretty, too. However, she was just too strict.

If she looked like their eldest brother, he could cruelly ignore her. The thing was, his eldest sister looked weak. He would feel guilty if he were to yell at her.

Xie Pinghuai was like a coward. He did not fight back.

It was another day of annoying Teacher Xiao today.
