Chapter 26 (2/2)
Shen Qiao didn’t see was Ruyan Kehui’s proud disciple and the next Master in Charge of Linchuan Institute Although his martial arts couldn’t coap was not i only half of his martial power
martial power and a sick body, Shen Qiao actually came out with a draith much difficulty
Xie Xiang was atwith his inner qi, but Shen Qiao directly spat out a mouthful of blood
Yan Wushi+ heaved a sigh on the side, “Well, it seeo enjoy the flowers today!”
As he was expressing his remorse, he picked Shen Qiao up, carried him in his arms, and walked towards the inn
Shen Qiao frowned and tried to struggle, “Sect Master Yan, I can walk by myself…”
“If you o back”
Shen Qiao: “…”
Sometimes, he really felt that Yan Wushi+ would be better as a rogue or a gangster than as a sect master
One would siet used to injuries if they ounded frequently enough
Shen Qiao took another nap after they returned When he woke up again, it was already pitch-dark outside A faint and warrance filled the roo as Yan Wushi+ was nowhere to be found
He found his way up, put on his shoes, and got off the bed to ring the bell in the outer room He was already proficient with this set of movements Other people wouldn’t be able to tell at all that he had problems with his eyes if they didn’t closely look at him
Soon, he heard so outside
After the servant got the permission from Shen Qiao, he pushed the door open and ca?”
Shen Qiao asked, “What time is it now?”
“It’s about 6 pm”
“Is there still food in the kitchen?”
“Yes, there is If there’s anything you would like, just tell me The stove is still on, we can cook at any time!”
“Then can I have a bowl of plain congee and some side dishes please?”
The servant took note of his request Seeing that Shen Qiao had no other instructions, he was about to leave, but Shen Qiao stopped hiain, “If it’s possible to cook so me a bowl of cat ears [1]and some marinated beef as well?”
“You’re being too polite, uests need them, we’ll always have them ready all year round! I’ll tell theht now Just wait a moment!”
Shen Qiao nodded, “Thank you for your trouble”
All of these dishes were easy to make Marinated beef was a cold and simple dish They only needed to cut it into slices, and the cat ears were h and were boiled in a pot Plain congee and small dishes were even simpler In less than an hour, the dishes had already been delivered to the room
Shen Qiao picked up the plain congee and started to slowly sip it He only had a few gulps before soain
There was no need for him to spend the effort to look He already kneho the person was just by the sound of their steps
It was crisp and chilly in the night Yan Wushi+ walked in with a swirl of cold air and sat down by the table
“You’ve been easy to feed throughout the journey — just soh So, did you order
did you order the cat ears and marinated beef for me?”
Shen Qiao only replied with a sht He added two ht Yan Wushi+ would probably return soon
Yan Wushi+ teased hiers that met each other by chance, and we are more like enemies than friends Yet you still show so much consideration on trivial matters such as these I bet you treated that Junior Brother Yu of yours with even ht?”
Shen Qiao put down his bowl and pulled a bitter s up the topics that I don’t want to talk about… Sect Master Yan is truly good at touching other people’s sore spots!”
“I thought you were too impenetrable and senseless that nojust like before!”
Shen Qiao kneas going to start on his huain, so he simply closed his mouth and didn’t talk anymore
However, it seemed like Yan Wushi+ had found pleasure in the detail of Shen Qiao preparing hed with a sentle and considerate If you find your sweetheart one day, aren’t you going to look after that person even h to be liked by you !”
The word “Ah-qiao” shocked Shen Qiao like lightning that even his limbs turned numb He couldn’t help but refute, “Please don’t joke like that, Sect Master Yan I’ve decided to not marry anyone for the rest of my life ever since the day I converted to Daoism”
“Isn’t there so called Daoist partners in Daoist sects? Well, if two people become Daoist partners, they don’t need to care about secular etiquette like weddings anyht? You can’t return to Mount Xuandu anyhy don’t go back to the Cleansing Moon Sect with me? If you don’t want to be my disciple, I can offer you other ‘title’!”
Shen Qiao felt his hair stand on end while listening to hiht shi+ft in his expression
Considering that this person always acted on i all social conventions, in addition to his unpredictable behavior, Shen Qiao couldn’t tell if he was being serious or not He frowned and replied, “I appreciate Sect Master Yan’s immense fondness [2]of me…”
Right after he said the words “immense fondness”, Yan Wushi+ let out a snort on the side, and Shen Qiao shut his mouth almost immediately
Yan Wushi+ still failed to hold it back and burst into loud laughter He laughed so hard that in the end, he even fell to the side Pressing his hands against his stoh about after eating one’s fill is just like having a snack after a , the joy is just too much for me to take!”
Till this point, how could Shen Qiao not realize that he had been tricked again? He tightly pursed his lips and closed his eyes No matter what the other person said, he refused to say another word
Translator’s Notes:
[1] cat ears: Not real cat ears They’re flour-based “noodles” that resemble the shape of cat ears
[2] immense fondness: It’s a standard start to reject people politely
