"nning to go in a few days." Tang San answered.

  "Good, now we just have to vince your Teach, warn him, okay." Tang Sa his inner self despairing at his sister's words; apparently, she pnned on doing it the usual way. The one using the backdoor.

  "It might have been ao ask him before scheduling his ing along." He said, and Tang Yin smiled even brighter.

  "He will e." Pointing at Ning Feng and herself, "Because curiosity kills the cat and because I am certain that he will see the advantage in suffit prote. The prote he ot provide. Bro, hunting Spirit Beasts is Dangerous, and it will be a gamble."

  "It may be better if you just take your life and enjoy it." But, Tang San said, his voice deepening, "Twenty years of a peaceful, painless life are not a bad choice."

  "I know you will provide and care for me; that's what you do; it makes a huge part of who you are, Bro." She ted down on her fingers, "No worries, no pain, no war, no s, everything needed in a good life fulfilled by you. You would do more for the family than anybody else, even at the cost of your oiness and life, but that is not now not what I want."

  Tang San silently sat there and took a deep breath while fag Tang Yin, who wore her daredevil expression, "I will show fate and all the mighty gods. I, Tang Yin, will live as hard as I , and if it is a short life, I will go with a big bang."

  "Okay.", Tang Dan agreed. Xiao Wu, who didn't really uand what this versation was about, looked at them with a puzzle. "Why would you die?" she asked, pointing at Tang Yin, "are you sick, Yin?"

  "Well, you say that. Well, rather, I have a bit too much spirit power, and my body is slowly falling apart." She discarded her glove and showed Xiao Wu the faint lines on her fingers, "Look, I hardly feel my fihere even if I move them."

  "They grew again." Tang San worried and took her hand carefully iing the cracks in her hand.

  "A few millimeters; how are you even spotting that?" Tang Yin asked and watched as Tang San helped her bato the thin bck glove.

  "You are my sister, I notice. You should talk with the Teacher about it; maybe he help; he is trustworthy."

  "That trust is why we are taking him with us, even though there were rejes about taking you two." Tang Yin expined. Ning Feng, o her, stepped forward and closed her eyes.

  "T-Tang San i-if you w-want Y-Yin to b-be happy, t-then be h-happy by y-your-yourself.", She said with teary eyes, "s-sacrifig your o-oiness i-is b-bad." With that, she buried her head ieddy bag.

  "I uand; thank you, Ning Feng; I will take it to heart." Tang San bowed his head to her.

  "Guys, I'm hearing airely different problem." Xiao Wu interrupted and poi the door, "The dorm mother is approag."

  "Now, Ning Feng cover." Hurrying, the two of them hid themselves, but sadly, a loud voice was faster than they were. "Literary department!" the shrill voice of the dorm mother screeched, and Tang Yin g a trembling Ning Feng.

  "Run!" Ning Feng whispered, and Tang Yin hen, they ran, abandoning Tang San and Xiao Wu with a quick wave. Throwing out a bed cover Tang Yin caught as Niook out a few gss beads and threw them toward the dorm mother's feet.

  "Bye!" Tang Yin shouted and, together with Ning Feng, made an escape.

  Esg towards their dorm room, they tightly closed the door behind themselves, Ning Feng panting and Tang Yin looking slightly surprised atthe others.

  "Why are we running like a madman from the dorm?" She asked Ning Feng, who poi the others, the door, and a piece of wood.

  As if someone had cast a magic spell, everyone suddenly moved, and they blocked the dether.

  "Again, guys, why are we so afraid of the dorm mother?" she asked, and the other looked as if she was a ghost. Damian, the only one apparently taking pity on her cluelessness, opened his mouth, "There are two dorm mothers, the nie who caught us the st time and the not-so-nie that siders us as less than vermin."

  "Oh."

  "Yes Oh, sider yourself warned, low-born, your stitution may allow a beating, but we have no iion of being the victims of supleasantness again.", Yu Hua said and, food measure, put a piece o his wool around the doorknob and tied it to the bed pole of Ning Feng's bed, "Now this will buy us some time in any case."
