Chapter 65 (2/2)

The squirrel sitting on her head almost fell off because of this. But fortunately, it caught one of the buns in time and avoided an accident.

Noticing the movement on her head, Xue Jiujiu straightened her neck in a flurry.

Shui Yuner who saw everything couldn't restrain a soft laughter.

“Senior Disciple Sister, you're so cute.”

“Cu… cute?” Xue Jiujiu was startled, “Me?”

Shui Yuner nodded heavily. At the same time, she made a “mhm” sound.

“Uh…” The la.s.s's eyes wandered immediately, and he porcelain cheecks blushed slightly.

Is she being shy? Shui Yuner finds this Senior Disciple Sister more and more interesting.

“Senior Disciple Sister, did you want something from me?” Suddenly, Shui Yuner recalled that the other party seemed to want something from her.

“Ah!” Xue Jiujiu exclaimed, as if she was roused from a dream.

Then, she touched the tip of her nose and said awkwardly, “I forgot.”

“Senior Disciple Sister, you seem very forgetful.”

Xue Jiujiu spread her hands and spoke helplessly, “If you're old, there's nothing you can do about it!”

“Ah. Are you already old, Senior Disciple Sister?” Shui Yuner's eyes widened and she asked with a look of surprise on her face.

“Uh …” Xue Jiujiu froze, “I'm not kidding…”

After a moment of silence, there was a bright laughter.

“Senior Disciple Sister, you're really amusing.”

Xue Jiujiu was taken aback for a moment, and then suddenly realized, “Oi, you're teasing me!”

“I can't help it! You're reaction is really amusing, Senior Disciple Sister, I can't help it!”

“Yo yo yo, the thief complains first!” The la.s.s pouted unhappily.

“I thought you weren't this petty, Senior Disciple Sister!”

Shui Yuner put on a pitiful look, but her Senior Disciple Sister just rolled her eyes grumpily.

“Yes, I am the most magnanimous person out there!”

“Then, you must not be angry with me, right?”

“I said everything I had to say, what else can I say?” Xue Jiujiu spoke in a helpless tone.

Shui Yuner sn.i.g.g.e.red a few times, and then…

“Anyhow, Senior Disciple Sister, are you really a disciple of Ancestor Xue?”

She changed the subject and decided to confirm the ident.i.ty of the other party.

Although Xue Jiujiu previously stated that she is a disciple of the Merak Temple's Young Ancestor – Xue Qilin, but Shui Yuner isn't fully convinced. She isn't used to trusting others completely. She once had been used to trusting others, but was hurt because of it, so she gave up the habit.

“Ah … this…” Xue Jiujiu looked away unnaturally, “Sort of.”

The la.s.s answered rather vaguely, neither confirming nor denying.

“Sort of? What does that mean?”

“Hey, you'll know soon enough!”

As if it were troublesome, Xue Jiujiu didn't explain.

That response seems to say, don't ask anymore questions!

“Oh, so ah …”

She's not deceiving me, is she? Although the girl is skeptical, but she didn't continue asking.

Perhaps it's just a painful topic!

Shui Yuner tried to find a reason to persuade herself, but her heart is not at ease.

Am I no longer able to trust others? Shui Yuner felt disconsolate. Perhaps.

She must have lost the ability, the ability to trust others.

When did it start? The girl tried to remember.

It must have started the day she found out that one of the people she was close to turned out to be a spy sent by someone else to monitor her.
