Rod had not yet spoken when Amendo's angry gaze swept over.
"Fei Xue, you could have spoken these words in private, not in such a serious and solemn setting," he said.
Fei Xue stuck out her little tongue.
"What if he had taken it seriously in private?" she asked.
Amendo's entire face visibly reddened like a steamed orange.
"Punishment!"
he roared.
"Severe punishment! You are forbidden from visiting the Holy White Tree and the botanical garden for a month! You can't drink a drop of water from Pure Blue Lake until I see some real change in you!"
Fei Xue's little face scrunched up, and she muttered softly, "Grandpa Amendo, isn't that a bit too harsh? How about just one day?"
Amendo snorted heavily through his nostrils.
"Shut your mouth, you have no room to negotiate."
Still fuming, he led Rod and the others away.
Rod glanced at her sympathetically, only to catch her making a silly face at him secretly.
This girl... she's just a child, Rod thought.
