Chapter 257 Where is the culprit?
So, this behavior was more like a prank against him.

But undoubtedly, this kind of harmless prank makes people even more angry.

He had a lot of rage in his heart but had no place to vent it. If he knew who was so bored as to play such a bad joke on him, he would definitely drag that bastard to the training ground and beat him up so hard that he would avoid him next time he saw him!
……

Xiao Xiao curled the corners of his mouth helplessly. The moment the fruit fell, he sensed the evil spirit coming from the tree.

He followed the evil spirit and looked towards a large tree with lush branches and leaves on the side. There was a snow-white figure standing there among the branches. The clear and childish cry was melodious and beautiful, which made people feel soft-hearted for some reason. However, he clearly heard the mockery in it.

Obviously, Meng Jixi's embarrassed anger made the little monster gloat over his misfortune.

Xiao Xiao couldn't help but wonder, what on earth did Meng Jixi do to make this little monster target him so?

Because of the branches and leaves blocking his view, Xiao Xiao could not see the full picture of the little monster.

But it should be a monster that looks like a bird.

"Master Xiao?"

Chi Xiu Ke followed Xiao Xiao's gaze and saw an ordinary locust tree.

The trees are tall and although their leaves seem lush, they have already turned a layer of yellow. Perhaps before long, the ground will be covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

"Ok?"

In response, Xiao Xiao slightly turned his head to look at Chi Xiu Ke, with a hint of inquiry between his brows.

"What are you looking at?"

Chi Xiu Ke's eyes suddenly lit up as if she thought of something.

She tried to open her eyes wide and look carefully at the locust tree that attracted Master Xiao's attention, but, like every time before, she found nothing.

She wasn't frustrated either, she was used to it anyway.

"Master Xiao, did you find anything?"

Chi Xiu Ke's eyes brightened even more, and she looked at Xiao Xiao with anticipation.

Hearing this, Chi Xiuchuan and Meng Jixi, who was still annoyed, looked at Xiao Xiao.

"Master Xiao, do you know who threw the fruit?"

Chi Xiuchuan held the fruit in his hand and held it in front of Xiao Xiao to show him.

A closer look revealed that the green fruit had become somewhat shriveled and had a hint of dark brown.

"This should be the pod of the locust tree. The bastard who hit me...was he on that tree?"

Meng Jixi raised his eyebrows, a cold light flashed, and his sharp eyes swept towards the locust tree that Xiao Xiao had just been staring at.

But even if he walked under the tree and looked left and right, he still saw nothing.

When he was hit before, he could roughly know where the culprit should be based on the fruits that fell down, but every time he went to catch someone with full confidence, he ended up with nothing.

He even climbed up a tree to look for it, regardless of his image, and did the stupid thing of guarding the place where the bullet was smashed for several hours.

He was so angry that he almost lost his mind.

Because no one had ever fooled him like this before!

If you have any dissatisfaction with him, just say it to his face. What's the point of sneaking around and making sneak attacks from time to time?

He despises this kind of villain who hides his head and shows his tail the most.

But he was helpless.

During this period, he was like a moving powder keg that could explode at any time.

Therefore, when he saw the Chi brothers and sisters bringing Master Xiao here, he was not too angry. Now, he just wanted to catch that audacious and shameless bastard and beat him up severely!
……

"嘤嘤~"

A clear and tender cry sounded, and then a fruit hit Meng Jixi's head squarely. "Bang~", a rather dull sound.

Xiao Xiao felt that he could see Meng Jixi's anger bursting out and almost materializing.

"Uh, Ah Xi, please leave from under the tree first."

Chi Xiuchuan looked at Meng Jixi with some shame, his eyes darkening. While speaking, he subconsciously looked up. There were many branches on the top of the tree, but they were not dense enough to hide a person without being discovered by people below. So, how did this fruit fall on Ah Xi's head?

"Pfft~"

Chi Xiu Ke tried to hold it in, but even though she quickly covered her mouth, she still let out a few laughs. Her shoulders kept shaking, and she quickly turned her back.

Brother Ji Xi has always been arrogant and domineering, but she has never seen him look so angry and helpless like this.

How to deal with the inexplicable hit on her funny bone?
"Xiuxiu!"

Meng Jixi looked at Chi Xiu Ke who had her back to him, feeling a little amused and helpless.

Does this girl think that he won’t know she is smiling just because she turns her back?

Besides, the twitching ears on the rabbit backpack behind her had already betrayed her.

"Sorry, Brother Jixi, I don't want to laugh."

Chi Xiu Ke took a few deep breaths before turning around and trying to keep a straight face while speaking. However, the corners of her mouth rose uncontrollably the moment she saw Meng Jixi.

Meng Jixi felt a little helpless. If anyone dared to laugh at him like that, he would definitely not be in a good mood.

But facing Chi Xiu Ke, whom he had treated as his younger sister since childhood, he didn't know what else to do except smile bitterly.

Chi Xiu Ke still has a conscience. Although Brother Ji Xi looks very funny now, the problem still needs to be solved.

"Master Xiao, have you found the culprit who hit Brother Jixi?"

"Ah."

Xiao Xiao did not hide it and admitted it straightforwardly.

Not to mention the Chi brothers and sisters, Meng Jixi also had a vague sense of his abnormality. He would not tell them anything about his ability to see monsters, but he would not try to hide it too deliberately.

In fact, even if he behaves abnormally, most people would probably be more inclined to believe that he might be mentally ill rather than having special abilities, right?

It's rare that among these people, even Meng Jixi, who initially suspected him, didn't think he was playing tricks.

Maybe it's because there were several incidents before.

But, isn't this also a kind of fate between them?

……

"Really?"

Meng Jixi suppressed his anger a little and raised his eyebrows doubtfully.

Before Xiao Xiao could speak, Chi Xiu Ke couldn't wait to speak, "Of course it's true!"

She had never doubted Master Xiao's abilities.

Chi Xiuchuan's frowned brows relaxed. Since Master Xiao had already found the criminal, the matter was solved.

Meng Jixi was speechless about these two "die-hard fans" of Master Xiao. He decisively skipped the topic and looked at Xiao Xiao and asked, "Where is that bastard?"

His eyes were fixed on Xiao Xiao without blinking, not missing any change in expression on his face.

"In a tree?"

Meng Jixi tried to find some clues from Xiao Xiao's face.

Xiao Xiao calmly accepted Meng Jixi's X-ray-like gaze, with the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and cast his gaze towards the white figure among the branches, "Who knows?"
