Chapter 46: Chapter 46 Don’t Blame Me for Being Rude_1

Dugu Zixi smiled warmly and spoke in a calm and gentle tone, "I will ask her about it. She’s still in school and quite young. She says she doesn’t want to become famous and wants to live a quiet life for a few more years, so she has been hiding from the world, living the simple life of an ordinary person."

Upon hearing that Little Xingxing was living the simple life of an ordinary person, the old master’s eyes suddenly lit up, "True hermits are hidden in the crowd, isn’t that the truth! If it weren’t for Zixi, we would never have imagined that such a young master could exist in the world!"

In the eyes of the patriarch, it was fine as long as one didn’t live away from society in the remote mountains and forests. If they were truly reclusive, he would be more worried.

But high masters like this one, who lived hidden amongst ordinary people for a long time, surely understood the ways of the world better. When dealing with them in the future, it would be more relaxed without the need for his family to look up to her in awe.

Dugu Zixi chuckled and proceeded to instruct them about his plans.

"Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, I will be learning from Xiaoxing in the upcoming period. Little Xingxing knows spells and can transport me right out of my room, so you should not enter my room lightly in the future. If you call me and I don’t answer, or if you find that I’m not in my room, don’t worry about me; I’m definitely with Little Xingxing."

After hearing this, the old master spoke seriously, "Zixi, you are the sole heir to the Dugu Family. We can do as you ask, but how can we be certain that if you are not in your room, it’s Little Xingxing who has taken you away and not someone else?"

Dugu Zixi laughed softly, "Grandpa, you forgot, I am now a martial arts expert as well. It’s not as easy for ordinary people to mess with me as it was before."

After a moment’s thought, Dugu Zixi added, "Still, you raise a good point, Grandpa. Here’s what we’ll do: If I leave with Xiaoxing, I’ll stick a smiley face sticker behind the door. If one day I forget to stick this smiley face sticker and you don’t find it, just shout for me in my room and I should be able to hear your call."

Assured by Dugu Zixi’s words, the old master finally felt relieved, "Alright then, we’ll do as you say. You’re still young now, so for these next few years, just focus on improving yourself. For the time being, there’s no need for you to worry about family affairs."

"Thank you, Grandpa!"

With these words from his grandfather, Dugu Zixi felt confident he could safely cultivate with Xiaoxing.

Thinking of the leisurely years ahead of him, Dugu Zixi’s brow and eyes seemed to smile.

At that moment, Ye Ningning asked him, "Zixi, is Little Xingxing the name of the high master you spoke about?"

Dugu Zixi nodded, "Yes."

Seeing that Ye Ningning wanted to ask more, Dugu Zixi quickly gestured for her to stop, "Mom, please don’t ask any more for now. I have to get Little Xingxing’s permission before I can tell you all these things. If she doesn’t agree, I can’t say anything about it."

Ye Ningning glared at her son, then put on a mournful face and spoke to him, "No wonder people say that once a son grows up, he forgets his mother for his wife. Look at you; you haven’t even married Xiaoxing yet, and you’re already listening to her. In your heart, your mother doesn’t have a place anymore."

Dugu Zixi gave his mother an exasperated look, knowing she was putting on quite the act, "Mom, stop it! No matter what happens, my family will always be my dearest relatives. Even if I marry Xiaoxing, it just means you’ll have one more person to dote on you. No one’s going to compete with you for your place, so relax!"

Ye Ningning teased her son with a playful glare, "You little scamp, you are defending Xiaoxing even before marrying her, huh?"

Dugu Zixi, looking speechless, couldn’t be bothered to argue any longer with his mom, who was acting like a mischievous child.

Seeing that her son stopped responding, Ye Ningning didn’t push further. She glanced at the time and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh my, I need to get to work. Son, see you later!"

Dugu Zixi waved at her and watched his blustering mother dash off. He called after her with concern, "Mom, be careful on the road."

Ye Ningning responded loudly, "I know~"

Her voice was still echoing in the air as she had already run out of sight.

The Dugu family matriarch smiled and shook her head, "Your mom is almost forty, yet she’s still so cheerful and carefree, truly enviable!"

Dugu Zixi immediately said, "Grandma, don’t worry so much. If the sky were to fall, Grandpa would hold it up, and behind Grandpa, there’s my dad, and then there’s me. In any case, the women in our family just need to enjoy life. We men will handle the rest."

The Dugu family matriarch looked at her sweet-talking eldest grandson with immense satisfaction.

She said to her husband, "Old man, look at Zixi’s sweet talk. Oh my, it’s so sweet that my heart is blooming with joy, hahaha..."

The stern face of the Dugu family patriarch also broke into a smile.

After finishing breakfast with the two elders, Dugu Zixi said to his grandfather, "Grandpa, I’m going back to my room to continue studying. I’ll join you for breakfast again tomorrow morning."

The Dugu family patriarch looked at him affectionately and waved his hand, "Go ahead, and remember to ask Xiaoxing when she will come over for a meal."

Dugu Zixi smiled and said, "I’ll remember to ask her."

Once Dugu Zixi returned to his room, he flashed into Lifespace.

At that time, Shen Tianxing was walking toward the gate of First Middle School. She sensed that Dugu Zixi had entered the space and just smiled without teasing him further, letting him study and cultivate quietly in the space.

Shen Tianxing had just reached the school’s main entrance when she was surrounded by six burly men.

The tall and sturdy young man leading them asked in a deep voice, "Are you Shen Tianxing?"

Shen Tianxing glanced at them and replied indifferently, "I am Shen Tianxing, what do you want?"

The man responded gravely, "We are from An’s Construction. Our boss would like you to come with us."

Shen Tianxing smiled coldly, "An’s Construction? Sorry, never heard of it. If he wants to meet me, he should come in person! Now, please move aside, I have classes to attend."

The man’s face darkened as Shen Tianxing wouldn’t comply, "And what if I don’t move?"

By now, quite a number of students had gathered around the entrance of First Middle School.

However, seeing the six intimidating men, none of the students dared to make a sound.

The security guard at the gate could only call their superiors, reporting the incident.

Seeing that they wouldn’t make way, Shen Tianxing’s face also grew cold, "I’ll count to three. If you don’t move by then, don’t blame me for being rude!"
