“Why wouldn’t I dare?” Xia Xibei was not afraid at all. “Even if you were my elders, you can’t be so shameless, right?”

Even when facing these elders, she wasn’t nervous.

This elder was quite old, and he should also be quite strong.

However, no matter how good they were, they were still no better than the experts she had encountered back in the fantasy continent.

Back then, when she met very strong experts, she was able to keep

going without retreating. The strength of these elders should not be much stronger than her own now, yet they were using their status in front of her. It was simply too ridiculous.

Qiao Yanjue’s heart was warm upon looking at her with such a resolute attitude.

He did not expect that Xia Xibei would be so determined to stand by him.

At this moment, his heart surged with infinite courage.

As long as Xia Xibei did not let go of his hand, he would not give up.

Although at first he found the aura of these elders intimidating, he quickly adapted to it.

They were just old people who were about to be buried and probably even had false teeth, so what was there to be afraid of?

Besides, if he showed even a little bit of nervous apprehension, he would definitely be disliked even more.

So, he quickly pulled himself together, with a faint subdued smile on the corner of his mouth.

“Bastard!”

The elder was so angry at Xia Xibei’s attitude that he jumped to his feet, wanting to smash the walking stick in his hand at her.

“Brother Jiang, take it easy.” The patriarch hurriedly stepped forward to ease the situation. “They’re kids, they don’t know what to do. Don’t-”

“I’m already an adult.” Xia Xibei did not accept the patriarch’s good intentions and made herself look hard to mess with. “Besides, I already know how to behave.”

She looked around the crowd, “I can go back to the Qi family, but only if I make up my own mind about my own affairs. Otherwise, I won’t come back.”

“Humph! Do you think we’re begging you to come back?!”

The elder was even angrier. How dare this girl be so rampant?!

In all their years of living, this was the first time they had seen such a rampant child, and a female child at that!

It was simply pissing them off!

“Ha!” Xia Xibei laughed, “You guys didn’t beg me to come back, and I didn’t beg to come back. So, let’s have a good talk. Otherwise, there’s no need for me to come back.”

She actually didn’t need to put up such a tough attitude.

However, they mocked Qiao Yanjue!

This could not be tolerated.

They were mocking her vision!

When she and Qiao Yanjue were together before, Qiao Yanjue’s status was much stronger than hers.

Now, the two of them had switched their status, and she didn’t mind.

Did these people really think that just because they were her blood elders, they could tell her what to do?

Xia Xibei has lived for so many years and has long had her own attitude towards life.

She handled her own affairs. Even her parents and elders couldn’t dictate her affairs!

If she didn’t put up such an attitude, she would be stomped on by them afterwards.

She wouldn’t give them such an opportunity!

“You!”

That elder was so angry at her attitude that his chest hurt.

If not for the patriarch’s presence, he might have already rushed over to beat her up!

Even if Xia Xibei’s talent was good, this kind of attitude was too abominable!

“I’m just stating my position. If you don’t accept it, then I’ll take my leave.”

Xia Xibei wasn’t sheepish at all.

There was no need for her to return to the Qi family.

On the contrary, the Qi family wanted her to come back more than she herself wanted to return.

After all, she was so talented and performed so well. Who wouldn’t want her to come back?
