The Reborn Aristocrat's Daughter-Chapter 204: Space Wine (2)_1

"Baibai, you can’t drink too much just because it tastes good. Drinking too much can harm your body," Situ Xin reminded Baibai with a touch of concern as she noticed its little cup of liquor was emptied in no time.

"It’s fine, Master, you don’t need to worry. Baibai has a very good tolerance for alcohol, hehe, this little jar isn’t even enough to get stuck between my teeth," If it weren’t for the fact that Situ Xin had only brewed a small amount this time, it definitely would have gone for more than just this tiny jar.

Of course, what Baibai considered a small amount was quite substantial to others. At least Situ Xin felt it was enough, enough for her and her family to enjoy.

Upon hearing Baibai say this, Situ Xin didn’t say much more. Instead, she shifted the conversation to the problem from the afternoon. "Baibai, have you thought of a solution yet?" Situ Xin remembered this tiger had solemnly told her it had a method.

"Eh," Baibai hadn’t expected its master to bring up the issue again, and it had already pushed the matter to the back of its mind. Scratching its tiger head with another paw, it said somewhat embarrassingly to Situ Xin: "Master, Baibai will think about it now."

"Never mind. I’ll figure it out myself." Situ Xin hadn’t really expected Baibai to have any good ideas, her question was more a sign of desperation, casting about for any possible solution.

"Master, you really shouldn’t worry so much. With your current skills, why not just secretly follow them when the time comes?" Baibai suggested.

When Situ Xin heard this, it was like a light bulb went off. "Right, why didn’t I think of that? Everyone I tell disagrees anyway, so I might as well keep it to myself. I can just leave them a note at the time." Situ Xin felt like Baibai had awakened her from a dream with just one sentence.

"Baibai, thank you. You’re really smart," said Situ Xin, having resolved a troubling issue, and in high spirits, she praised Baibai. If she weren’t soaking in a hot spring at the moment, she definitely would have gone over to give Baibai a good kneading.

"Oh dear, Master, don’t praise Baibai, I’ll get shy," Baibai said, pretending to be bashful which caused Situ Xin to exclaim, "Baibai, that’s too scary. I definitely won’t praise you again. Alright, I’ve got to go and cultivate. I’m also going to make some protective talismans for Grandpa Deng, or maybe take some with attack power, so he’ll be a lot safer," with that, Situ Xin grabbed a towel next to the hot spring, and in the next second, she had teleported inside the villa.

Four days after talking with Old Master Xiao, Muli left the military compound with Old Master Xiao and returned to the Xiao Family Ancestral House.

Before he left, Muli found Situ Xin: "Xiao Xin, I’m going to participate in the family training. You have to wait for me. When I return, I’ll protect you." Having said that, Muli hugged Situ Xin, who was a bit out of it, and then turned around and left swiftly before she could react.

The reason why Muli could leave so promptly after confessing to Situ Xin was that he was afraid he wouldn’t have the heart to leave because of her.

Only after Muli’s figure had vanished from the Situ Family’s doorway did a belated Situ Xin turn to ask Situ Jin. "Jin brother, what does Muli mean by that?"

Muli had had a deep conversation with Situ Jin before he left, and had even confided his feelings for Situ Xin to Situ Jin. When Situ Jin heard about Muli’s unsavory intentions towards his precious little sister, he was nearly moved to punch Muli on the spot.

But when he heard that Muli was leaving his own family to undergo clan training in order to be strong enough to protect Situ Xin, Situ Jin lowered his raised hand.

Although Situ Jin was inwardly moved by Muli’s sacrifices, he was very displeased with Muli’s advance towards his beloved little sister, Situ Xin. "It’s nothing. That boy just needs to go back to his family for training to compete for the position of Family Head. Besides, he says he’s doing all this so he’ll be strong enough to protect you. Really, since when does my sister need his protection?" The last two sentences were spoken by Situ Jin in a soft voice, but Situ Xin still heard them.

Situ Xin was touched to hear this, but at that moment, her thoughts couldn’t be further from romantic feelings.

The days grew hotter, and Situ Xin took every chance to enter her special space, which was comfortable to be in all year round.

One evening in mid-June, during dinner, Old Master Situ suddenly asked Situ Xin, "Baby, do you plan to participate in the training at the army base and then at the troops this time?" Stunned by the sudden question, Situ Xin looked puzzledly at Old Master Situ. She knew that every summer vacation, the children from the military compound were sent to the troops for training. But ever since Situ Xin had that so-called master, the children of the Situ, Loo, and Xiao families hadn’t gone, including Yu Qihao, who was very close to them. They had all been trained by Old Master Situ, Old Master Loo, and Old Master Xiao at the Situ house instead. "Grandpa, what do you mean by asking this?"

"Our children from the military compound have the tradition of training with the troops, right? But in recent years, because of the martial arts and Internal Cultivation Methods your master gave, you youngsters haven’t participated in the annual troop training. Now that your brother has almost learned everything, I was thinking of letting him go to the troops to toughen up. As for you, since I worry you might get bored with your brother gone, I wanted to ask your opinion," Old Master Situ explained to Situ Xin, not really wanting her to undergo training in the troops. He wouldn’t bear the thought of his tender, beloved granddaughter enduring hardship there.

And in Old Master Situ’s heart, boys needed to suffer hardships and venture out, whereas girls needed to be cherished and protected.

When Situ Jin heard Old Master Situ asking Situ Xin about joining the army, his eyes lit up with eagerness. He did not want to be separated from his sister. Ever since Situ Xin was born, except for the first few times she was kidnapped by Aunt Wu and went to Province Y to help Situ Haotian and Situ Haoran with a drug bust, he had never been apart from Situ Xin.
