"Qing Li, oh no! Master, please don't explain! We all understand!"
Understand what?
Ming Li was utterly bewildered. Just as she was about to say something, she was interrupted by the three people in front of her.
"Master, you really didn't meet any old grandpa with a white beard, did you?"
Ming Li's mouth twitched. "No."
"Then are you a peerless genius from a certain sect who came down the mountain for tempering?"
Ming Li's face was numb. "No."
"Then were you sent to the Martial Arts Temple to practice martial arts at the age of three?"
"No."
"Then..."
Ming Li: "Are we still going to study or not?"
"Yes!"
"Classmates, what are you doing?"
Hearing the voice from the doorway, the four of them looked over in unison, and then saw the dance teacher standing at the door.
Ming Li was silent for a moment, stepped forward, and said, "Teacher, we are practicing martial arts."
"Practicing dance? What kind of dance requires this kind of practice?" The teacher looked at the broken mirror on the ground, his serious gaze falling on the four of them.
Ming Li: "..." It's practicing martial arts, not dance.
Finally, Ming Li took out a bank card and said, "I'm sorry, teacher, we'll pay for it. We won't do it again."
The teacher frowned and didn't take the bank card. "Be careful, this mirror should be replaced. It's not your fault. I'll report it to the school later, and you won't be able to use this dance studio anymore."
"Thank you, teacher."
After the teacher left, Ming Li glanced at the three of them and said, "Alright, change to another classroom. You three will practice horse stance for three hours first."
The three of them swallowed. "Ah?"
Ming Li raised an eyebrow. Seeing the hesitation on the faces of the three, she asked, "What? Want to give up?"
"No!" Hearing Ming Li's words, the three of them said firmly, and then went to practice horse stance.
After that, whenever they had time, Ming Li dragged the three of them to practice basic skills. By the end of the semester, although the three of them were covered in bruises, they didn't give up. Finally, their basic skills were barely satisfactory to Ming Li.
One noon, Ming Li supervised the three of them after their basic skills practice and headed to the restaurant at the school gate. As soon as they walked out of the school gate, the four of them saw a crowd gathered in the middle of the road, as if they were spectating. Ming Li raised an eyebrow and heard the system in her space speak, "Host, the person lying ahead is your biological brother. If nothing unexpected happens, your biological parents will be here soon."
Upon hearing this, Ming Li stopped in her tracks and calmly turned her head, her strange gaze piercing through the crowd to look at the boy lying unconscious on the ground.
"Qing Li, what's wrong?" Wu Ting asked confusedly when she saw Ming Li stop.
Ming Li withdrew her gaze and said, "It's nothing. You guys go order first. I suddenly have something to do. I'll be right back."
"Okay, then Li Li, hurry up."
"Mmm."
Ming Li nodded, watched the figures of the three disappear, then turned and walked into the crowd spectating the scene. Just as she was about to secretly cause some trouble, she was detected by the system in her space. The system's voice was filled with caution, "Host! What are you doing?"
Ming Li's mouth twitched slightly, and she rolled her eyes. "Of course, I'm causing trouble. Do I need to ask? It's not like you're meeting me for the first time..."
System: "..."
(￣_￣|||)
Just as Ming Li was about to make a move, the sky, which had been clear and sunny, suddenly darkened. After a loud "boom," a bolt of lightning struck directly in Ming Li's direction.
Ming Li dodged, quickly leaving her original spot and avoiding the lightning strike.
Damn! Is this dog-like Heavenly Dao so protective of its own?
Patting the dust off herself, Ming Li met many strange gazes as she looked up.
The crowd that had been gathered to spectate earlier now kept a safe distance, staring at Ming Li with peculiar eyes as if she were some kind of anomaly.
Ming Li's mouth twitched. She glanced at Liu Ting on the ground and turned to leave. Since she couldn't cause trouble now, why should she stay?
