Chapter 519 - Four Left (2/2)

The corner of Shen Ying’s lips twitched as she looked at Mushroom with an expression like she couldn’t express herself in a few words. “Sigh, you don’t understand!” If she was given pig feed for meals, she would rather eat snacks everyday. “Want a fruit?” She handed one over.

Mushroom’s eyes lit up and it nodded fervently before receiving it. “Shen Ying you are the best, best person in the entire world.” Mushroom labeled her a good person with an innocent look. “You are the only other person who gives me food other than Little Flower.”

“Does Fatty not?” Shen Ying could not help but ask, don’t the two of you hang out together often?

Mushroom shook its head and pouted a little angrily. “He only gives me carrots and even told me to abstain from eating.”

“…” Sigh, as expected, Rabbit was Fatty’s true love!

“You’re still the best.” Mushroom looked towards her with bright eyes. “Just… why is it that all the fruits you give these few days all have a bite taken out of them already?”

“Um…” Shen Ying went stiff for a moment. “Don’t be mindful of such details.”

“Alright.” Mushroom big-heartedly stopped questioning and added after a moment of thought, “Hui Ze is in low spirits recently, he doesn’t even plant mushrooms with me anymore, I’m so bored being all alone.”

“What’s with him?” Shen Ying kept up the conversation.

“He said he doesn’t know how to teach his disciples and is fretting over what to do in the future.”

“Oh…”

“It’s been so quiet here recently, so many people disappeared. The little sister who was picking herbs the previous time is gone too.” Mushroom said while chomping on the fruit.

“You like her a lot?” Shen Ying looked back.

“Mm…” She thought for a while before nodding. “She was the only one who would talk to me amongst the whole group, I think I do?” It frowned, looking a little confused. “But Hui Ze told me to stay away from her, I don’t know why too. She’s already gone, how do I stay away?”

“Oh.” Shen Ying continued to nibble on her fruit.

“By the way, Shen Ying!” Mushroom held her hand and pointed to the big tree in front, saying, “Do you owe that person a lot of fruits?”

“Hmm?” Shen Ying took a glance and saw a person standing under the tree, looking right in their direction, he seemed slightly familiar. Seems like the Innate Sword Embodiment disciple that Father Niu talked about all day long and boasted in front of Chef a while back, she forgot his name.

“Am I the kind of person who will owe a debt?” A father will pay for his daughter’s debt, even if she did, it would be on Father Niu.

“But he has been staring at us from that spot for four hours.”

“If that’s the case.” Shen Ying’s eyes narrowed. “Then we’ll look back.” Can’t lose out.

“Sure!” Mushroom nodded fervently.

Hence, two gazes landed on the figure under the tree together, not forgetting to nibble on their fruits while staring. All at once, the entire back mountain was filled with the sounds of crunching.

Jian Xing froze for a moment and shifted his eyes away embarrassingly in less than ten seconds. He instantly felt that such actions of his was especially silly, but also somehow had a feeling of being defeated.

He coughed and retracted his gaze with a frown before walking forward and stopping before the two people with an expressionless face. Cupping his fists, he bowed towards Shen Ying respectfully. “Greetings, Sect Master!” His gaze seemed to sweep across Mushroom at the side.

“Mm.” Shen Ying responded lazily.

He clenched the hands by this side, inhaled deeply and said, “Jian Xing come forth this time to apologize to Sect Master on behalf of my sister. I hope that Sect Master would forgive her rude and offensive behavior previously on the account that she is young.”
