"Fang Tanxing! Let's go play!"
Fang Tanxing stopped swinging his sword when he heard a small voice. He ran to the entrance and saw Yu Xiu smiling while waving her hands at him.
After seeing her, he stared at his father with pitiful eyes. His father sighed and waved his hand.
With a silly smile on his chubby face, Fang Tanxing immediately threw away the wooden sword and ran as fast as he can grabbing Yu Xiu with him not waiting his father change his decision.
"I'm getting too old for this" Fang Kou massaged his temples.
He then turned his head around and said, "Shadow number one. As usual, you and your brothers make sure that he wont get into any trouble"
"Yes!" Five human shaped figures passed by him and swiftly went outside to follow Fang Tanxing.
...
"Yu Xiu, what do you want to play today?" Fang Tanxing asked Yu Xiu whose hand he's holding. After meeting once that day, Yu Xiu would come to their manor to call him and play whenever she have the time.
"I found a big pond outside the tribe that we can play in! I also saw a few cute frogs there!" Yu Xiu excitedly said with sparkling eyes.
'Frogs are cute?' Fang Tanxing thought bewilderedly but didn't say it not wanting to hurt her feelings.
Along their way to the pond, Fang Tanxing bought almost every food he saw. He tightly hugged all of it in his arms as if someone's gonna steal them.
Yu Xiu ignored him as if she's used to him doing this. After a few minutes she looked at a distance in front of them "That's the pond!" She pointed at a 10 meter sized pond that's barely outside their tribe.
"But there's already a group playing there." Yu Xiu said dejectedly when she saw a group of kids their age.
"Don't worry! They'll surely let us play with them" Fang Tanxing reassured her with a smile on his face.

Handing over the food to her, he then went towards the kids playing. "Can we play with you guys?" Fang Tanxing asked them with a expectant voice.
All of them stopped playing hearing his words and turned to him. They all looked at each other before someone that seems to be their leader went in front him.
"You're the fatty that they call a genius? You're not allowed here! All the water will pour out of the pond if you step in it!" The leader of the group said with a mocking expression.
'It's all because of you that my parents are beating me everyday! They always say that I should be better than you! This is my revenge for you!' He thought.
With the crowd behind him remembering who he was and having the same thoughts, they all followed suit and also started to mock him.
"He's right!"
"You're not allowed here!"
Yu Xiu went beside Fang Tanxing when she heard their words. She looked at the expression on his face only to see him smiling.
"Fang Tanxing, are you alright?..."
She asked worriedly. She could more or less understand why they're mad at Fang Tanxing because she's also been scolded by her parents when she lost to him. But unlike them, her parents are less strict.
Without even responding to Yu Xiu, Fang Tanxing went towards them and punched them one by one. With his strength already at the 5th step, he can easily beat them since their dantians haven't even opened yet.
As expected, they all lost without even having the chance to fight back.
"I-I'm gonna tell my parents!"
"Me too!"
With bruises all over their face, they all ran away while shouting threats.
Yu Xiu was shocked when she saw him striking them without even talking.
"We could just have played somewhere else, why did you have to do that? You're in trouble if their parents will complain to your family." She worriedly asked knowing that one of the children he punched have families with the same position as his.
Still wearing a smile on his face, Fang Tanxing raised his fist said "Because my mother always tell me that I should fight with my fists and not my mouth!"
"Oh, its because of your mo- wait, it's not your father who said that?!" Yu Xiu was speechless when she heard this.
"Hahaha! Let's play already" Removing his shirt, Fang Tanxing jumped to the pond.
"Wait for me!" Yu Xiu followed him and cheerfully played with the frogs at the side of the pond.
Hidden in the shadows of trees, shadow number one and his brothers looked at each other with panicked expressions.
"Family head told us that we should prevent young master from getting into trouble but he unknowingly provoked many families..." Shadow number one said.
"1st brother, what should we do? Many families are gonna complain to family head." Shadow number two worriedly asked. His other brothers agreed with him.
"We can't do anything for now, let's just let the family head handle this. The main problem here is that they now know the strength of Fang Tanxing." Shadow number one said.
Only after trying to reassure them that everything will be fine that his other brothers calmed down.
