“No one taught me!” Before Gu Junzhu and Ye Xingbei had a chance to speak, Lingyue yelled out, “No one taught me!”
He took a few steps forward and stood in front of Senior Master Xie, he looked up into his eyes, his eyes dark and fathomless, fixed on Senior Master Xie: “I won’ t allow you to smear Xiao Shu1 s mom and dad!”
Fearless despite the severe intimidation and anger radiating from Senior Master Xie, he lifted his small face and said seriously, word byword, “Disfiguring Xie Yumo’s face, no one instructed me, it was my own idea! Her heart is so ugly, she doesn’t deserve a beautiful face! She should have an ugly face to let everyone know she’s an ugly person!”
“You…” Senior Master Xie looked at Lingyue in shocked disbelief.
He genuinely thought that the incident last night was orchestrated by Gu Junzhu.
He always knew that Gu Junzhu was cunning and resourceful, and nothing much could impede him.
Coaxing a child of seven or eight into nefarious deeds was a way to evade legal punishment.
He thought it despicable of Gu Junzhu to use an innocent child for his villainous schemes.
He never imagined that no one was behind it all along. It was all the child’s idea.
How old was this child?
Six years old?
Seven years old?
Eight years old?
Seeing those unfathomably dark and beautiful eyes of Lingyue’s, a cold dread rose from the bottom of Senior Master Xie’s heart.
Without proper guidance, this child would surely become a grave menace to society once he grows up.
Staring at Lingyue for a long while, he turned his gaze to Gu Junzhu, “Did he tell the truth? Was it his idea, not your instigation?”
Gu Junzhu chuckled without a word.
From his reaction, Senior Master Xie knew the truth—It was all Lingyue’s doing, he was not influenced by Gu Junzhu or Ye Xingbei.
This child was too cruel.
He needed to be sternly disciplined.
Being so vicious at such a young age, his future was truly worrisome.
Staring pensively at Lingyue, he voiced his thoughts, “In that case, I should take this child with me. His heart is too cruel and his hands too nefarious. He needs proper guidance, or else how will he turn out when he grows up?” “Don’t bully Brother Xiaoyue!” Xiao Shumiao left Ye Xingbei’s arms, hopped off the bed, darted to Lingyue and held his waist. She twisted her face into an intimidating gaze, her eyes round and wide, trying hard to appear fearsome. “Brother Xiaoyue is ours, you can’t take him!”
Gu Junzhu rubbed her little head, chuckled and said to Senior Master Xie, “Uncle Xie, this child is my godson and obviously should stay with me. How did it come to him staying with you?”
“With you?” Senior Master Xie was infuriated, “Look at what you’ve turned the child into by having him around you!”
“Oh, Uncle Xie, look who’s talking!” Gu Junzhu replied with a grin, “You’ve done a fantastic job raising children! Look at Xie Yumo! Oh, the courage she has, amazing!”
“…” Senior Master Xie was so choked up he nearly fainted.
“It’s not Uncle Gu’s doing, I’ve always been like this!” Lingyue looked at Senior Master Xie, his voice was the pleasant, unadulterated tone of a seven or eight- year-old, but his tone was oddly calm and cold, far beyond his age. “My mom passed away when I was very young. My dad is busy with work and doesn’t look after me. I was brought up by my grandma. Some mean people found us easy targets and bullied us. So, this is how I act!”
