70 Address Me As Your Big Sister

However, it was a pity that his facial features were so handsome. The person who owned it did not seem to know it. In fact, he was a little sloppy on purpose and did not care about his image at all.

Just like now, Wei Chiyu was dressed in rough clothes and looked sloppy. With straws in his hand, he squatted down to start a fire without a care to his image at all.

Seeing that the fire wouldn’t start, he even lay on the ground and blew into the pit. He was really down-to-earth.

However, it was soon obvious that Wei Chiyu was not very good at starting fires. Or perhaps, the newly dug pit was a little damp and the fire could not be started.

Wei Chiyu’s face darkened under the thick smoke.

Puff!

Zhou Xiaoli couldn’t help but laugh out loud when she saw Wei Chiyu’s face streaked with smoke.

Wei Chiyu had wanted to put on a good show in front of Zhou Xiaoli, but the fire had not started up, so he was more or less anxious about it.

The tips of his ears turned red when he heard Zhou Xiaoli laughing out loud, but he pretended to be calm and asked, “What are you laughing at?”

He was clearly only 13 years old, but Wei Chiyu always acted very mature for his age.

Now that he was embarrassed, his act of pretending to be calm became much more vivid.

Looking at him like this, Zhou Xiaoli had the thought of teasing him again. She couldn’t help but smile and ask, “Do you want to know?”

Wei Chiyu pursed his lips and nodded.

“Then, address me as your big sister.” Zhou Xiaoli smiled slyly. “Address me as your big sister and I’ll tell you.”

Hearing this, Wei Chiyu looked at her with a steady gaze and yet, his amber eyes were filled with doubt. So alluring.

He had a cold personality. Even the coarse linen clothes could not hide his good-looking face. If she were a young lady from an ordinary family, her heart would have been pounding.

Unfortunately, Zhou Xiaoli was no ordinary girl. She had seen many beautiful fairies in her previous life and was already immune to their beauty.

Wei Chiyu stared at her for a long time before saying, “Stop fooling around.”

Zhou Xiaoli couldn’t help but purse her lips, revealing a trace of regret. “Alright, it seems that someone doesn’t like me anymore and thinks that I’m being unreasonable. Forget it, I’d better leave!”

As she spoke, she shook her head and looked sad. She turned around and was about to leave.

However, just as she turned around, someone grabbed her wrist.

Zhou Xiaoli turned around and saw Wei Chiyu was the one who grabbed her wrist.

Wei Chiyu seemed a little stunned himself, as if he did not expect himself to pull Zhou Xiaoli back subconsciously. However, he had no intention of letting go, as if he was afraid that Zhou Xiaoli would really leave.

“Elder, Elder Sister.”

Just as Zhou Xiaoli was feeling puzzled, Wei Chiyu’s voice rang out.

The young man’s original voice was rather deep and his personality was cold. However, she inexplicably heard a hint of temptation when he called her “elder sister”.

It was as if there was a hook attached to it. Hearing it made Zhou Xiaoli feel numb.

As if noticing Zhou Xiaoli’s reaction, Wei Chiyu’s lips curled into a triumphant smile. “Elder Sister, what’s wrong?”

Zhou Xiaoli trembled again and hurriedly said, “Enough, enough, I heard you.”

Wei Chiyu was puzzled. “Don’t you like to hear it, Elder Sister?”

Wei Chiyu’s voice was very pleasant to the ears. Zhou Xiaoli had noticed this long ago. Now that the words carried a hint of flirtatiousness, she couldn’t handle it.

“Oh, I suddenly remembered that I have something to do. You can cook green bean tea for the workers.”

She was clearly the one to tease Wei Chiyu. Why did it seem like she was the one being teased in the end?

With that, Zhou Xiaoli prepared to run.

She ran all the way home and saw the strange old man from yesterday sitting at her door.

Seeing Zhou Xiaoli coming over, Yuan Zhengchun instantly stood up.

Zhou Xiaoli was puzzled. “Why are you here again?”

“Sigh, child, of course I’m here to look for you. Didn’t we agree yesterday? How is it? Have you considered it? Do you want to acknowledge me as your master?”

Yuan Zhengchun was persistent.

Zhou Xiaoli shook her head. “No, you can leave. I don’t want to be your disciple.”

With that, the door opened and she entered the house.

The moment she closed the door, she could still hear the old man’s voice. “Kid, think about it carefully. I’ll come back tomorrow.”

After saying that, there was no movement outside the door. It seemed like he had left.

Zhang Lanzhou came forward and was a little worried. “Li’er, who is that old man? I saw him coming to our door this morning. When I asked him, he said that he was waiting for you and didn’t come in. It’s strange.”

Zhou Xiaoli smiled and comforted Zhang Lan. “It’s okay, Mother. Don’t worry. He’s just a bored old man.”

At this moment, Liu Yan heard their conversation and asked, “Is it the crippled old man who just entered our village?”

Zhang Lan immediately nodded. “Yes, yes. This is the first time I’ve seen that old man. Sister, do you know him?”

Liu Yan shook her head. “I don’t know him, but this old man is indeed very strange. Moreover, he seems to be related to the county magistrate. A month ago, the county magistrate transferred an account to our village and asked my husband to fetch him in person.”

When everyone heard this, they were all curious.

“The county magistrate specifically mentioned him? He even asked the village chief to pick him up personally. Who is that old man?”

Liu Yan shook her head. “I don’t know. Even my man doesn’t know much. I only heard that he’s a charlatan or something. He set up a stall on the street to read fortunes for people.”

“However, this old man is really strange. After entering our village, he didn’t stay in the village but insisted on living on Qingyuan Mountain.”

Everyone was curious and guessed who this old man was.

However, Zhou Xiaoli did not find it strange. Just last night, when the old man mentioned his name, he must have been very famous.

No one would dare to offend a good metaphysical master. As for living on the mountain, Taoist priests preferred to live among nature anyway.

Therefore, Zhou Xiaoli stopped listening to their gossip. Instead, she took the ledger book and checked the progress of the sugar production today.

Yuan Zhengchun was really persistent. He said that he would come the next day, and he really came the next day.

No matter how cold Zhou Xiaoli was to him, he was unmoved. Finally, after three days of persistent visits, Zhou Xiaoli decided to meet him.

Thus, on the morning of the fourth day, Zhou Xiaoli washed up and waited outside the door.

At seven o’clock in the morning, Yuan Zhengchun arrived at the Zhou family’s door again.

However, this time, he saw Zhou Xiaoli waiting at the door.

He immediately knew Zhou Xiaoli’s answer. He stepped forward excitedly and laughed, “Kid, I already know your attitude, hahaha.”

Zhou Xiaoli said arrogantly, “Don’t rush, this does not mean that I have promised you anything. I’m just giving you a chance.”

Yuan Zhengchun was not angry at all. He laughed and said, “Girl, you’re really bold. It’s usually others who beg me.”

“Alright, it’s God’s will that I like your attitude. Tell me, how do you want to test me, your future master?”

Yuan Zhengchun immediately nodded. “Of course. However, if you want to go to my residence, you have to find it yourself.”

“I live on Qingyuan Mountain. It’s a place with good Feng Shui. Come and find me.”
