206 Xue Li

"Mother, the moon is up and the sky is dark. If we're done here, perhaps we should get back."

"That a good idea, Little Li, but I think I've got a better one. I will head back first, while you stay here and study the formation I created. You will not leave this spot till you can identify at least 2 of the inscriptions I used in the spirit containment formation."

"Mother, that's too unreasonable. How could I study when I'm already too exhausted from studying all day?"

"Oh, stop whining. I know you've been sleeping through your study periods. Consider this your punishment for slacking off. Don't even think about leaving or else I will know and punish you more severely."

"That's not fair."

"Life isn't fair, get over it."

Xue Jinghua quickly created a tracking inscription then placed it on Xue Li. Now if Xue Li were to leave this area she'd know about it.

"Ah, mother, wait."
