After Descending the Mountain, Seven Big Brothers Spoil Me - Chapter 162

Chapter 162: Silly and Sweet Zhouzhou
Early the next morning, after finishing her breakfast, Zhouzhou hurried back to her room and pulled out her beloved hemp bag from under the bed. It was borrowed from her Brother Dafu, who often acted as a middleman and had accumulated quite a few of these bags.

To ensure that she could fit everything inside later, she had to take more bags. Otherwise, it would be disrespectful to her treasures.

Such a thing must never happen.

After carefully counting and confirming that she didn’t miss any, Zhouzhou headed downstairs. Coincidentally, Mu Xuan had just entered with a bag in his hand.

The senior siblings looked at each other’s bags and laughed.

Qin Lie happened to witness this scene and paused. Why did his little girl suddenly laugh so mischievously?

No, she’s cute!

She seemed like she was about to scheme against someone.

But that was indeed the case.

Qin Lie found it quite amusing and shook his head slightly, saying, “Let’s go.”

According to the rules, since he was not a member of Mystery Sect, he couldn’t observe the competition. Therefore, he could only accompany Zhouzhou to the entrance.

He just didn’t know if Mu Xuan and Tang Qing would be able to protect her.

Just as he was thinking about it, Wen Jing knocked on the door but didn’t enter. With candy in her mouth, she leaned against the door frame like a boneless creature and said, “Let’s go.”

Upon seeing her, Zhouzhou became overjoyed and ran over with quick steps. She hugged Wen Jing’s leg and exclaimed in surprise, “Sister Marvelous, are you going too?”

She was that Sister Marvelous?

Hearing this title, Mu Xuan squinted his eyes and looked at Wen Jing.

Wen Jing also noticed his gaze at the first moment and looked up, locking eyes with him.

In an instant, sparks flew.

Following her gaze, Zhouzhou introduced, “Sister Marvelous, this is my Eldest Senior Brother.”

So this was her honest and reliable Eldest Senior Brother?

Wen Jing raised an eyebrow slightly and looked at Mu Xuan, her eyes filled with curiosity.

Interesting.

But the most interesting one was the little girl.

She quickly retracted her gaze and flicked Zhouzhou’s towering ponytail.

Zhouzhou covered her head and looked at Wen Jing in confusion. “Sister Marvelous, this is my hair, not cigarette. Why do you all like flicking it?”

Dad does it, and Sharp Tongue Uncle does it too. Why is she doing the same now?

Hearing this, Wen Jing pondered for a moment, rubbing her chin, and then said, “Well, it’s convenient?”

Zhouzhou blinked her eyes and let out a sigh. Well, it’s hard to understand adults’ thoughts.

She didn’t mind, shook her head, and was quite satisfied with her hairstyle.

She slung the hemp bag over her shoulder and took out a Wealth-Attracting Talisman from her bag, sticking it on her forehead with a “smack.”

Looking up, she asked Wen Jing, “Sister Marvelous, do you think I have extremely good luck today?”

Wen Jing carefully stared at her for a while and nodded, “Indeed, Zhouzhou, you’re going to make a fortune today.”

Hearing this, Zhouzhou couldn’t stop smiling, her mouth couldn’t close properly, and her little head nodded like a pecking chicken. “That’s right, that’s right! Today, I’m going to become a rich lady!”

When she said the last three words, golden ingots seemed to appear in her eyes.

Wen Jing couldn’t help but be amused by her and pinched her little face.

There was no need to ask. She had already guessed what she wanted to do with those hemp bags. Her eyes flickered slightly, and she said, “Zhouzhou, if you really want to strike it rich, there’s one thing you need to learn.”

“What is it?” Zhouzhou hurriedly asked, her ears perking up, her face filled with anticipation.

Upon seeing this, Wen Jing slightly bent down and whispered something in Zhouzhou’s ear. Zhouzhou’s eyes lit up, and she exclaimed, “That’s a good idea!”

After speaking, she looked at Wen Jing with admiration. Wow, her Sister Marvelous was truly amazing!

Mu Xuan walked over and asked, “Zhouzhou, what did you guys talk about?”

Zhouzhou covered her mouth and shook her head, refusing to say, “It won’t work if I say it out loud.”

Hearing this, Mu Xuan felt a bit frustrated. How come his little junior sister had a secret with her too? He wasn’t happy about it.

Thinking about it, he glanced at Wen Jing with a gloomy expression.

It was all her instigation.

Noticing his gaze, Wen Jing raised an eyebrow slightly, fearlessly returning his look, even with a hint of provocation. This made Mu Xuan even more upset.

“Let’s go,” Qin Lie approached and said.

“Mhmm,” Zhouzhou responded.

The place where the opening ceremony of the Mystery Sect Conference was held was a bit remote, in a courtyard in the western suburbs. There were not many residents around, and it was adjacent to a notorious burial ground.

Only the people of Mystery Sect dared to live here.

Qin Lie couldn’t enter once he escorted them here.

Zhouzhou gave him a Protective Talisman, waved at him, and said, “Dad, we’ll go in first. You don’t need to wait for us. We’ll take a long time to come out.”

“It’s okay, I’ll wait for you here,” Qin Lie squatted down, aligning his line of sight with hers, and tidied her collar while advising, “Be careful, stay safe. Making money is important, but if you get injured, you’ll have to spend money on treatment.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou was about to say that she could treat herself without spending money.

Seemingly understanding her thoughts, Qin Lie quickly added, “If you get injured, you’ll need rest. If you can’t make medicine, it will affect your business, and you won’t become a wealthy lady.”

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou became anxious, nodding repeatedly. “Got it, Dad. I’ll stay safe.”

“Mhmm.” Qin Lie felt relieved when he saw that she understood. He was most worried that Zhouzhou would go too far for money.

After giving his instructions, he stood up and looked at Mu Xuan and Wen Jing, saying sincerely, “Zhouzhou, I’ll trouble you both to take care of her.”

His tone was sincere, his attitude earnest.

Wen Jing looked at him and clicked her tongue inwardly. He could bend and stretch himself when it came to Zhouzhou’s matters.

For the sake of Zhouzhou, he could even be polite to her, who was obviously displeasing to the eye. It seemed that he truly cared about Zhouzhou, and it was no wonder their bond was so strong.

Nodding, she led Zhouzhou and walked inside.

This courtyard was a gathering place for Mystery Sect practitioners in Jing City. It looked ordinary from the outside, just like an ordinary courtyard. However, once inside, one would discover its extraordinary ambiance.

The style was quaint, and the Feng Shui was excellent. As soon as the door opened, spiritual energy rushed towards them.

Zhouzhou couldn’t help but take a deep breath, feeling so comfortable.

But not everything was good, such as the formation on the ground.

If one accidentally stepped on it, they could easily meet their end today.

That spiritual energy felt more like bait here.

“This is a test formation,” Wen Jing explained.

It could be said that the competition had already begun from the moment they opened the door.

If they couldn’t even pass this, they would be directly thrown out.

Upon hearing this, Zhouzhou nodded, exchanged a glance with Wen Jing, and their eyes flashed with a hidden understanding that only the two of them shared.

Afterward, Zhouzhou turned her head and suddenly took a step forward, ending up right in the formation, spinning around like a headless fly.

Several times, she narrowly avoided triggering an attack, but she managed to avoid it by a hair’s breadth.

“Oh, why do I feel so dizzy…” she said, stumbling, almost triggering another mechanism.

She appeared completely clueless and naive.

This behavior made the elders assessing her in secret and those who had already passed the test shake their heads.

They had no idea where this little girl had come from. She was simply making a mess, and it was just her luck that she could avoid the mechanisms.

Mu Xuan, who knew Zhouzhou’s true strength, “…”

Suddenly, he understood what method Wen Jing had taught Zhouzhou earlier…
