Chapter 68: She Became a Thorn in Someone’s Eyes
“Who did Teacher Mu accept?” Lan Xinyu’s face changed as she asked hastily.
“Xinyu, don’t be so anxious. It seems like he took in that person called Ling Chuxi or something like that.” The person who replied Lan Xinyu was called Shu Yuanfeng. He was the man who had followed behind Lan Xinyu when riding on the horse the other day.
“Xinyu, don’t worry. I don’t think it is possible. Perhaps Teacher Mu was just momentarily happy, and spoke offhandedly. Maybe after passing the news around things became as such?” the young maiden who said this, was the girl who had followed behind Lan Xinyu back then. She was called Pei Qianqian.
The three of them were childhood friends who had grown up together. Their relationship could not be described in words. The two of them had always known that Lan Xinyu admired Mu Liufeng. Now that she heard Mu Liufeng treating someone else so special, of course they were worried Lan Xinyu would be unhappy.
“No, Qianqian. Teacher Mu may be very carefree, but he would not have been so easy-going regarding this matter. He doesn’t care about anyone and has never looked at anyone in the eye. How could he simply accept a disciple?”Lan Xinyu suppressed the anger and jealousy in her heart, and squeezed out these words through the gap of her gritted teeth.
“Xinyu, won’t we know exactly what happened when we get back?”Shu Yuanfeng looked at the anxious Lan Xinyu and said in comfort.
“Ling Chuxi, Ling Chuxi… Why does this name sound familiar?” Lan Xinyu frowned. After thinking, she suddenly sat down and snorted. “I have recalled. This was the person grandfather was talking about. The one who has extraordinary innate talent and whatnot. Saying she had extraordinary innate talent, that even the monument used for assessment could not withstand her Ocean Qi.”
“That’s exaggeration right? How is that possible! It must just be a rumor!” Pei Qianqian exclaimed, retorting aloud.
“Previously, I also did not believe. However, when these two things are added together, I think it is possible. Anyway, this Ling Chuxi is not simple. I am thinking of meeting her.”Lan Xinyu’s gaze turned cold.
“Xinyu, don’t be impulsive. You need to know that Teacher Mu is not easy to get along with…”Pei Qianqian advised kindheartedly. However, before she finished speaking, she was interrupted by Lan Xinyu’s scream.
“Shut up! I know my limits!” Lan Xinyu practically shouted. The anger and jealousy in Lan Xinyu’s heart was almost drowning her at the moment. She wanted to go crazy the moment she thought about Mu Liufeng who had never cared about anything actually looking at another person differently, yet that person was not her.
Pei Qianqian was stunned. Seeing Lan Xinyu’s explosive rage, she ended up not saying anything more, but rather quietly lowered her head.
Shu Yuanfeng saw this and lightly sighed without saying anything more.
…
At this moment, Ling Chuxi was totally oblivious that someone had taken her to be a thorn in her eye. She was dealing with Mu Liufeng.
“Obedient disciple, when will you make me a mask? I want the kind with freckled uncle looks.” Mu Liufeng said excitedly.
“I’ll make it for you some other day. Master, you are so handsome, cool, extraordinary and suave, why do you want an ugly mask?” Ling Chuxi waved her hand in annoyance and said. After thinking, she continued. “Master, you are so wise and mighty, one in a million. Your patience must be very good too. Wait till I have made it, then I’ll give it to you.”
“Yup, that’s true. I have always been this wise and mighty, handsome, cool, extraordinary and suave.”Mu Liufeng really knew how to find the emphasis in Ling Chuxi’s words. After hearing her speak for so long, he heard these few keywords.
“Yes, yes. However, master you are so handsome and cool, why do you need such an ugly mask?” Ling Chuxi was a little puzzled. Seeing Mu Liufeng only heard those keywords, she could only repeat her earlier question.
