After settling down at the inn, Shangguan Xuanyi spoke.

Shangguan Xuanyi said to Shangguan Xuanyao and the others, "We two need to go back to Li County. You guys wait here for us for a day. If we haven't returned by dawn tomorrow, you four should head back to Zezhou immediately, understood?"

"Sixth Brother, where do you want to go? I should go with you!" Shangguan Xuanyao expressed his concern.

"I want to go with my sister too!" Xi'er guessed they were up to something dangerous and she couldn't bear to let it go.

"Children shouldn't bother about adults' matters. Just stay here and wait for us to return," Shangguan Xuanyi replied when he heard this.

"I'm not a child!" Xi'er retorted, upset. Who was the child here? She had already grown up, hadn't she? At her sister's age, she was the one who took care of things at home and in the shop!

As for herself, everyone treated her like a child. Would she ever accept it? Xi'er thought not!
