Crying Brothers: The Little Sister We Hate Is Actually a Bigshot

However, this time, the paper figure had four cracks around its waist. If someone looked closely, they would see that the cracks were filled with dense runes.

“What… Xiao Taotie, what lie did he tell?” Fu Xian was startled, not knowing what was happening. How did these two suddenly become so hostile?

But he instinctively believed Xiao Taotie’s judgment.

“What are you doing?” Just at that moment, Ji Jing entered the courtyard with Wang Cai, breaking the tension between them.

He Xin and Xiao Taotie’s actions coincidentally stopped.

Ji Jing looked at them with curiosity. Wasn’t the agreement to meet here? How did it turn into a fight at Fu Xian’s house?

He Xin recognized Ji Jing’s voice and sighed.

“He said he can’t see spirits and is an ordinary person with average talent,” Xiao Taotie scoffed. “Not a word of truth! Someone who can control such a giant paper figure and easily block my attack is far from ordinary.”

Xue Zhong, with an amused smile, asked, “Are you trying to approach us with humility, or are you testing something?”

Caught between Xiao Taotie and Ji Jing, He Xin rubbed his forehead in frustration.

“All right, all right! I may have told a small lie. For the sake of delicious watermelons, spare me this time?” He Xin expressed his sincerity first.

He chanted an unknown incantation, and the guardian paper figure immediately shrank to a small yellow piece of paper, falling into his hand.

Ji Jing raised an eyebrow; the piece of paper looked very familiar, as if it was the one she had seen in the attic. It could transform to such a degree, and even if torn, it could be pieced back together. This little yellow paper figure had many hidden talents.

“All my words are true, not a single lie. I truly had average talent from a young age,” He Xin reluctantly sat down again and explained in detail, “I just concealed some things… For instance, the younger generation of our family can only receive the family’s inheritance at the age of fifteen, but I unexpectedly received it earlier.”

Successfully, meaning he became one of the top talents of his generation.

“Xue Zhong’s mother is indeed a member of our clan,” He Xin blinked sincerely. “But apart from the weakening of the eternal flame, I came to find Xue Zhong and Xue Meng because they have reached the age to receive the inheritance this year.”

“So, can I learn how to use paper figures like you?” Xue Zhong momentarily got excited but quickly calmed down. “But I already look like this. Sigh. When Xue

Meng returns, I’ll let him do it.”

“Don’t worry; it’s just a shell. You can make another one,” He Xin was not concerned.

“You said earlier that as long as Xue Zhong’s three souls and seven spirits are intact, there is hope. Does that mean paper dolls?” Ji Jing seemed to have figured something out.

“Yes, the paper figure just now was not in its finest state. Your and Xue Meng’s talents are exceptional, and once you receive the inheritance, you can create more exquisite paper figures. As long as you want to, you can have as many shells as you like,” He Xin took out two pieces of jade. “These were originally intended for you on your full moon; we didn’t expect…”

He Xin hadn’t finished speaking when suddenly a black figure flashed through the air, snatched his jade, and ran off. Even He Xin was stunned.

“Chase!” Ji Jing decisively drew her sword and went after the figure.

Wang Cai followed closely behind. Xiao Taotie also transformed into his original form and chased after the black figure.

“Hey!” He Xin finally snapped out of it and hurriedly followed.. “Who is that?! Why did he steal the jade?”
