Chapter 654: Chapter 654 Kowtow
Just as they had driven off the lion and before they could catch their breath, Situ Yongjie had already arrived with his subordinates, torches in hand.
“Xuexue, you girl, why won’t you listen! This is a wild and desolate mountain, and it’s the third watch of the night. How dangerous it is for you to run off alone!” Seeing her, Situ Yongjie hurried forward, scolding her without pause.
“Dad, I’m alright.”
“You say you’re alright, but I just heard the lion’s roar.”
“It’s fine, it has been chased away by this tiger!” Saying this, Xuexue turned and pointed at the large tiger beside her.
When Situ Yongjie and his n arrived, they all held torches and hadn’t noticed the large tiger standing in the darkness. Now, following the direction of Xuexue’s finger, they spotted the majestic tiger right beside them and were so frightened that they all stepped back several paces.
“Quick, protect the young mistress!” Situ Yongjie hastily shouted.
The guards drew their swords from their waists, enclosing the large tiger in a circle.
Xuexue quickly stepped in front: “Dad, don’t be too nervous. I’ve already said it’s my savior — why are you still treating it like this?”
Seeing Xuexue standing right by the tiger’s mouth, Situ Yongjie beca extrely anxious. “Xuexue, co here quickly. Beasts have no humanity; what if it hurts you?”
Xuexue: “I’ve told you, it has a sense of humanity and won’t harm people.”
Furthermore, she reached out and stroked the fur on the tiger’s head. Miraculously, the large tiger obediently sat down. Situ Yongjie and his n were stunned — it seed this tiger truly had perception.
Xuexue looked at Situ Yongjie proudly and said, “Dad, now do you believe ?”
“Alright, if Dad believes you, will that do? Let’s head back quickly; it’s very late, and it’s not safe to be outdoors.” That recent lion’s roar had scared him to his soul, and he had thought that Xuexue might have t with disaster!
“Okay! I’m tired too.” Yawning, Xuexue walked towards the carriage, with the large tiger dutifully following behind her.
“Xuexue!” Situ Yongjie stood in place and called out.
“What now?”
“You’re not thinking of bringing this tiger back with you, are you?” General Situ and his n looked at the large tiger beside Xuexue with apprehension.
“What’s wrong with that?” Xuexue said as a matter of course. She had already been raising the tiger for over a month; of course, it would follow her.
Situ Yongjie: “Bringing a tiger into the Capital is far too dangerous.”
“Don’t worry, it doesn’t eat people, nor does it eat raw at. It eats cooked at.”
“You just picked it up, how do you know it doesn’t eat people or raw at?”
“Uh…!” Xuexue then rembered that this was the first ti the tiger’s identity had been revealed to everyone. She couldn’t possibly tell them it was Little Tiger transford, and tell them not to be afraid. That’s not sothing Xuexue would say, not knowing what secrets the tiger carried; better to figure things out before speaking: “I’m guessing.”
“Xuexue, this is a matter of life and death, you can’t just guess. If the tiger hurts soone after we return to the Capital, as an Imperial Appointed Official and with obligations to the Emperor, your father has to give an account,” Situ Yongjie said.
No matter what Situ Yongjie said, he disagreed with bringing Little Tiger back to the Capital, and Xuexue had no other choice. Qi Miao was so clever, she couldn’t bear to abandon it.
“Large Tiger, you better kowtow to Dad a few tis to persuade him to keep you, otherwise, we’ll have to part ways.” Xuexue patted the tiger’s head as she spoke.
The large tiger nodded, actually walked to Situ Yongjie’s side and, with a thud, its two front paws knelt down and it bowed its head several tis toward General Situ.
