Guo Kang and Theodora chatted for a while, and Meltem turned out from behind the door.
Her hair was wet and hanging down behind her. She was only wearing a blue sleeveless dress and sandals on her feet. As he walked, he wiped the water drops on his forehead with the towel on his shoulder.
"Have you even prepared a change of clothes?" Theodora frowned: "You have been prepared for a long time, and you want to come here to take a bath, right?"
"Isn't it possible?" Meltem asked doubtfully.
"It's nothing." Theodora looked at her figure and seemed to have recovered a little. She shook her head gently: "It's just a child who won't grow up. Forget it, I won't argue with you anymore."
Meltem opened his mouth slightly, looked at her in surprise, and was stunned.
"Don't say that..." Guo Kang quickly advised her.
"Ugh——" Meltem started to make a fuss: "Brother, Greek cows bully people!"
"What?"
Theodora rushed forward to catch Meltem, but Meltem moved aside nimbly, making it impossible for her to catch him.
Guo Kang hurriedly went up to start a fight, and Meltem took advantage of the situation and got behind him to hide. Theodora rushed towards her again, and Guo Kang was caught off guard and bumped into her. Fortunately, his adoptive father helped him practice lower plate every day, and now that he had a solid foundation, he could gain a firm foothold.
Only then did Guo Kang realize that what Theodora said was probably a pun. Meltem’s Chinese proficiency seems to be enough to understand these.
He hurriedly put in good words to both sides, and after a lot of effort, he was able to calm them down.
"You guys should also consider my feelings." He knocked Meltem on the head, then stopped Theodora, complaining: "You too, you had a fight with Jeanne yesterday, and today you are with Mel Tem quarrels. Why can’t we live together peacefully?”
"It wasn't that kid who provoked me first yesterday!" Theodora refused.
"If I ask her, she will definitely say the other way around. I already know you guys." Guo Kang didn't believe it at all: "I'm like dancing on three eggs, don't you understand me?"
Theodora was stunned for a moment by what he said, but she immediately retorted: "Isn't this all because you didn't pay attention and flirted with these unknown women all day long?"
"But why don't you let my brother play with me?" Meltem asked unconvinced: "You are not Aunt Huang, how can you control him?"
"Aunt Huang allowed me to persuade him!" Theodora stood up straight and said confidently: "If you don't accept it, why don't you go find her to reason with yourself?"
"I'm not going." Meltem immediately refused: "Aunt Huang is cunning and cruel. She will definitely not listen to what I say. Can't I just go to my brother?"
"..." Guo Kang didn't know where she got this impression.
"No!" Theodora immediately rejected Meltem's proposal.
"Then sister, why do you care about him? Brother Tuhuan doesn't care about him." Meltem questioned again.
"He, he... is going to marry me in the future!" Theodora was a little embarrassed to say it in front of Guo Kang, but she still had a business-like attitude: "This has nothing to do with you as a foreigner, don't come here again. It’s causing trouble.”
"Oh, it turns out you just want to marry your brother." Meltem suddenly realized: "Then there is no need for us to argue. My biggest goal is just to marry my brother. We...we are like water in a karez and The water in the river..."
She didn't know where she learned the messy sayings, but before she could finish speaking, Theodora rejected her negotiation proposal.
"Our teachings stipulate that bigamy is not allowed, so it won't work." She refused directly: "You heretic, go back to your valley and stop harassing me here -"
"This is just an excuse! Uncle Khalil said that doctrines are changed casually according to needs!" Meltem immediately retorted with powerful words.
Theodora was silent for a moment again, and Guo Kang quickly turned around to educate her: "Don't say this nonsense outside. Even the Great Lama Wang dared not say this publicly..."
"Then I won't say it anymore..." Meltem saw him teach him a lesson and quickly admitted his mistake.
"The education over there is quite chaotic." Guo Kang shook his head: "Although this is... well, I can't just tell the children directly without explaining the causes and consequences and precautions."
"It's not his fault, he didn't mean to teach me." Meltem defended the sect's seniors: "He drank too much and was bragging to a few other uncles. I happened to hear him."
"Well……"
Considering that the uncles Meltem spoke of were either the Turkmen chiefs or some sects with unknown origins, it seemed understandable to say this.
Moreover, due to her continuous shocking speech, Theodora was temporarily dumbfounded and did not continue the attack.
"Okay, okay, let's sit down and talk." Guo Kang quickly asked her to sit back: "As a princess, you should be more generous and don't argue with children. You see, she doesn't even understand what she said. .”
"What happened today is not as outrageous as she made it out to be. I just told you that she is the child of my father...an old friend. She can be taken care of by my family, so it won't be a big deal."
"Returning a friend's child..." Theodora was still very unhappy: "It's really evasive. Besides, a friend's child can be so rude?"
"Uh... of course it's nothing." Guo Kang suddenly thought of the universal shield: "Look, Li Xuanying is also the child of an old friend of his adoptive father, and he often runs to my house."
"He even used that pole to climb on the roof of my house." Guo Kang pointed at the top of his head: "So you see, it's actually nothing."
Theodora couldn't reply for a moment.
However, at this moment, Meltem suddenly stood up and stared at the roof. Guo Kang thought he was pointing at something and looked up, but he only heard her say "There is someone on the roof" and jumped out.
"What? Li Xuanying really climbed up?" Guo Kang was shocked.
Before he could react, Meltem had already reached the window, threw the towel on his shoulder outside the room, and then jumped to the door with a side step.
The moment the towel flew out, another figure jumped from the roof and grabbed it. But Meltem had already run out of the front door.
Guo Kang took a closer look and saw that the person had short blond hair and was wearing a linen cloak. It was Jeanne, the Tomb Sect heroine who had come to deliver the letter before.
Realizing that she was being shaken by Meltem, Jeanne was not in a hurry and stretched out her other hand to catch her. However, Meltem's movements were agile and strange, slipping like a loach, and he failed to catch him several times.
"Guards! Guards!" Meltem actually shouted.
Heroine Jeanne probably didn't expect this move from her. She stagnated for a moment, then she seized the opportunity, jumped back, and hid behind the pillar in the corridor.
The door banged open and the guards rushed in. The two leaders had just drawn their swords, and the others behind them didn't even have weapons at all, they just had ropes and iron forks for catching thieves.
The leading officer knew the heroine Jeanne, but several soldiers did not know who she was. They thought this strange woman was a thief, so they tried to catch her with an iron fork. The heroine Jeanne had no choice but to take a few steps back and ran into the house. The officers outside tried to stop them, and some people tried to figure out who called the guards. There was another commotion.
Jeanne turned her head and looked at Guo Kang and Theodora who looked surprised.
"Oh my God," she muttered, "I was just trying to scare you. This place is really impressive."
