Insufficient balance
"Why can't you answer." A sharp roar came from the principal's office of the Tianlong City Orphanage.
The maid stood pale-faced in front of the desk, staring at Xiao Xiu. If one only looked at the maid's current face color, it was truly unimaginable that such a sharp voice had just come from her.
"It can't be done, it's already been decided. It won't change just because of you." Xiao Xiu said to Ya Tou with a stern face.
The girl's expression was anxious, and her tone had already begun to take on a crying tone: "But he can't possibly survive in this orphanage by himself."
Xiao Shou was furious after hearing Xiao Tuo's words, he glared at Xiao Tuo with rage and shouted: "Don't you think about it, why can't he survive on his own? It's all your fault...!"
After saying this sentence, Xiao Xiu may have also realized his own loss of composure.
He paused, adjusted his tone and continued: "It's all because of you that he remains so naive to this day. Every time he finishes class, you go and reindoctrinate him with those useless ideas, making him forget what the monks taught him. I know you don't want to see his mind become like everyone else's here, but don't forget that the mainland follows the law of the jungle, and this is also the iron rule of this orphanage."
However, just as Ya Tou was about to make excuses...
Xiao Xi suddenly interrupted her, saying: "There's no 'but', you want to say 'but I can always protect him'? How come you still don't understand, it's fundamentally impossible for you to always protect him. Just like now, in half a month you'll be taking the final Beast Soul Power test, passing the test is no problem for you. But afterwards you'll leave this orphanage and go somewhere else, where I'm not clear, after all with your talent the Empire must have other arrangements."
At this point, the girl couldn't help but reiterate her request again, saying: "That's why I asked to take him with us when we leave." Xiao Xiu was very dissatisfied that his words were interrupted by the girl. He stood up from his chair and looked down at her.
"This means that from the very beginning, I knew the Empire would not agree." Xiao Xiu's affirmative tone once again ruthlessly shattered the last bit of hope in Ya Tou's heart.
"Why?" asked the girl.
Xiao Xiu said, "He is an obstacle to you, even a fatal weakness. The Empire cannot allow such a weakness to exist in your future. They even wanted to eliminate this dangerous seed with their own hands, but after analyzing your personality, they knew that would absolutely provoke your resistance. The Empire attaches great importance to you, so they have been holding back and not taking action."
Xiao Xi has actually done his best in this matter. When the empire wanted to get rid of Zheng Feng, Xiao Xi desperately stopped them, and finally found a reason, "Kill him, she will rebel", which stopped them.
But this time they were really powerless, the Empire had made up its mind to separate them, and for good reason: rules are rules, you have no right not to follow them.
The principal said so much with a heavy heart, and it seemed to have some effect.
The girl probably understood what the empire meant too. Her face gradually returned to normal. Wait... no, that face was absolutely not normal.
After calming down, Yatou also understood that the Empire would not agree to her request no matter what. So she had to implement the "last resort". Thinking of this, Yatou felt extremely "calm" in her heart and decided to bid farewell to the principal and carry out her own "last resort".
"Dean, I understand. My request is indeed unreasonable. Then I'll leave first." Ya Tou said as she was about to turn around and leave the dean's office.
"Wild girl, stop right there!" A loud roar burst forth from Xiao Xi's mouth.
Xiao Xiu looked at Ya Tou's face, which changed from pale to bright red and then returned to calm, only to turn gloomy again. How could he not know what Ya Tou was thinking? Thinking of this, he had to immediately stop the crazy Ya Tou.
The girl looked at Xiao Xiu with a cold and gloomy gaze.
Xiao Xiu was made to feel uneasy all over by the unusual gaze of Ya Tou, and he bellowed again: "Don't think that I don't know what you're planning. I've watched you grow up. Are you crazy? Do you want to go kill all the other children like you did with Jiang Hu now?"
The thoughts in Ya Tou's heart were spoken out by Xiao Xiu, and her expression changed for a moment before quickly recovering.
No mistake, it's just like treating Jiang Hu, that damned guy actually wanted to kill his own brother, if not for her timely arrival, she dare not imagine the consequences.
That guy wanted to strangle Xiaofeng's neck, and she herself used the beast soul power to twist his neck. It was her first time killing someone, and also the only time she killed someone. She remembered that from then on, no one dared to hurt Xiaofeng again.
In Yatou's opinion, killing people can protect Xiaofeng, so Yatou doesn't think that killing is a bad thing, it's no big deal.
"Yes, go and kill them all, that way even if you're not around, there won't be anyone who can harm your brother." A voice in Ya Tou's mind kept emphasizing.
Xiao Xiu saw the change in Ya Tou's expression for a moment and knew he was right, he was extremely annoyed with this crazy little girl.
Ya Tou is always a perfect good sister in front of Zheng Feng, but once she leaves Zheng Feng, her mind will become very close to the other children here, perfectly adapting to the jungle law. To achieve her own goals, she can even truly do whatever it takes.
Actually, in order to protect Zheng Feng in this environment, Ya Tou has been secretly cultivating harder than anyone else, it can even be described as crazy. Otherwise, with only talent and no real power, the other kids won't fear you at all, they can easily take you down, only absolute strength can truly suppress them from daring to resist.
Every year, the beast soul power test of Ya Tou grows at a speed that shocks the empire. Is it really just due to talent? Thinking about it, I know it's impossible. Talent is just an important factor, but without postnatal cultivation, there will be no growth.
Xiao Xi was clearer than anyone about Ya Tou's crazy cultivation, so she often accompanied Zheng Feng on a wild run. She would close one eye and open the other, otherwise she wouldn't just let them off with just words. Therefore, Xiao Xi sometimes also called her "Crazy Ya Tou" in private.
Xiao Xiuyi rubbed his temples and sat down again, saying: "Crazy girl, you think that killing all the other children will solve the problem. Although the Empire allows you to fight privately, pure slaughter is absolutely not allowed. Even if the Empire forgives this time because of your talent, have you thought about what will happen after Zheng Feng?"
After a pause, he continued to say.
"One possibility is to select some children from orphanages in other cities to supplement the Imperial Capital Orphanage, and the second possibility is to directly transfer Zheng Feng to an orphanage in another city. You think that the children in other orphanages are different from those here."
It seems like Xiao Xiu is asking Ya Tou, but in fact, her affirmative tone has already told Ya Tou the answer.
Ya Tou listened to Xiao Xiu and angrily retorted: "What else can I do? Am I supposed to know that he will be killed by others after I leave and do nothing about it? Can you take care of him for me?"
Xiao Xiu replied, "The Empire has a rule that we cannot intervene in your disputes, so we can't take care of him. However, intimidation and threats, you can use your future to intimidate and threaten them."
The girl looked puzzled at the principal's answer and asked, "Intimidation and threats? Is that useful? As long as I leave, they won't care about these things, will they? Do you think they're ordinary kids?"
Facing Xiao's series of rhetorical questions, Xiao Xiu explained: "It's precisely because they're not ordinary children that they have use. They will make plans for their own future. As long as you can become powerful enough to control their life and death in the future, they won't forget your threats and will be wary at heart. Bullying may be unavoidable, but at least they won't dare to take drastic measures."
After listening to Xiao Xiu's explanation, Ya Tou nodded as if she had gained some insight.
Is half a month enough time?
