Ling Yichen wordlessly pa.s.sed the pack of sugar-coated roasted chestnuts to Ling Chuxi. Ling Chuxi put Little White on her shoulders, then quickly took the pack from Ling Yichen and began to peel the chestnuts. Just as she was about to pop the one she had finished peeling into her mouth, a fair and slender hand reached out and s.n.a.t.c.hed it away.
“Hey!” cried Ling Chuxi angrily. She whipped her head around to glare at the person who dared steal her food away from her, only to see Mu Liufeng casually toss the chestnut he had stolen into his mouth.
“You’re such a disrespectful person!” barked Ling Chuxi in annoyance at Mu Liufeng. She had to denounce his bad behavior despite him being her master. That was her chestnut that she had laboriously peeled with her own two hands!
“You wicked disciple! If your master partakes in your food, that means he is seeing you as someone worthy of sharing meals with,” retorted Mu Liufeng candidly. Needless to say, he didn’t feel that s.n.a.t.c.hing away his own disciple’s food was something to be ashamed of.
“Teacher Mu,” greeted Ling Yichen respectfully. He had naturally guessed at the ident.i.ty of the chestnut-stealing man who stood before him and Ling Chuxi. Mu Liufeng was a name he had heard spoken in many a discussion before, but this was his first time seeing the man behind the name in person. At first impression, there didn’t seem to be anything remarkable about him aside from his set of very charming eyes.
“Hmm,” snorted Mu Liufeng by way of recognizing Ling Yichen’s greeting. For Mu Liufeng, this was considered a courteous response.
“Do you have any advice for the upcoming training, master?” questioned Ling Chuxi as she peeled a chestnut. She popped the chestnut into her mouth the second she finished peeling it, fearful of Mu Liufeng stealing it away again.
“Nope,” replied Mu Liufeng offhandedly. After a giving Ling Chuxi’s question more of a brief thought, he added, “If you die then you deserve it.”
Ling Chuxi’s lips twitched. What kind of master was this?!
“I have other matters to attend to, so, later.” Mu Liufeng threw out a cavalier goodbye before floating away. Literally. Even up to this point, Ling Chuxi had yet to deduce his level of cultivation.
Once Mu Liufeng was well out of earshot, Ling Chuxi muttered under her breath, “Tell me, Yichen. With such an awful personality, how is it that he still has an admirer?”
“Because he’s very powerful,” answered Ling Yichen succinctly and practically.
