The Little Li Hua cat had been sealed within the barrier for an entire night, so as soon as Xu Chang'an released it, it meowed in grievance, pointing its little snow-white paw in the direction of Wen Li's residence.
Xu Chang'an felt somewhat helpless.
Although he couldn't understand the cat's language, the Little Li Hua had cultivation and was intelligent.
Seeing its grumbling tone and the watery look in its eyes, Xu Chang'an knew Wen Li had sealed it there.
"...Did you steal Fish Pearls from the lake and got caught by Senior Sister?" Xu Chang'an's finger brushed over the Li Hua cat's head, giving it a tap: "Senior Wen won't bully you for no reason, and anyway... it doesn't count as bullying."
In Xu Chang'an's perspective, this barrier shatters at a touch, so Wen Li's action was hardly a punishment for the Li Hua cat.
"Meow!"
The Little Li Hua was very dissatisfied that Xu Chang'an was siding with Wen Li instead of itself. It gasped and then bit Xu Chang'an's thumb.
