Chapter 47 A Day with Junior Sister (2/2)
Near the mess hall, many male disciples outside looked shocked upon seeing them walking here together. ”What the hell? Why isn't Junior Sister Li alone today?”
On the Star-picking Peak, Li Muxue was a goddess to countless male disciples. People had so many dreams about her. She was almost like a campus belle thousands of years later?
A male disciple holding a bouquet of flowers looked blankly at the two youths as they walked into the mess hall. A gentle breeze came to him. Listen, something broke.
The mess hall on the Star-picking Peak was more generous than that on the Sunset Peak. The shredded potato did not sell by pieces, and boiled sweet potato was worth only one tael of silver. The most important thing was that strange dishes such as Fried Loquats did not exist here.
They randomly took their seats as all kinds of eyes fell on them.
”Holy...! How can Junior Sister Li have lunch with that ugly guy?!”
”Come on! He's way more handsome than you. The thing is that he's an expert.” A junior sister placed her head on her hands and said like a fangirl.
”Hmph, don't you act like a fangirl. Just think how much weight you've gained recently.”
”Zhang Cuihua! Our friendship is done!”
”Junior Sister Li, don't be fooled by those playboys who look nice on the outside but are filthy, dirty, mean, despicable, and obscene on the inside...”
Facing the strange eyes and comments from around, Xiao Chen felt uncomfortable all over. Was this the price of dinning with Li Muxue?
At this point, a voice as clear as a silver bell rose from the outside. ”Strange. I don't know what my cousin is up to these days. I haven't seen him in the Spiritual Qi Valley lately...”
”I think he's dating with someone...”
Xiao Chen lowered his head and said, ”Damn. The Ghoulish Woman is here. Just pretend you saw nothing. Eat your dishes.”
”Are you talking about me, Xiao Chen?”
With a gust of evil wind, Shangguan Yan instantly appeared behind him.
”Hi, Miss Shangguan. What a coincidence!”
”No, it's not a coincidence.” After saying so, Shangguan Yan noticed Li Muxue and her mouth suddenly opened wide. ”How can you two be together? Are you...” Her index fingers poked at each other as she smiled wickedly.
Li Muxue's face flushed as she turned her head away, saying, ”Sister Shangguan, stop talking nonsense...”
”Humph! I knew it! Cousin, you must give me an explanation. Why are you two together? No wonder I can't see you these days!” Xiao Wan'er also came here, stood akimbo and said angrily.
Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and said, ”Uhh. Don't get this wrong. This morning, Muxue and I were...”
”Humph! What did you just call her? And you said it's just a misunderstanding? You're such a playboy. How can you forget Huangfu Xin'er so soon!”
Xiao Han shook his head and sighed. He said to the waiter, ”Give me a boiled radish, and no hollow radish.”
”It's not like that, sister. Let me explain.”
Xiao Wan'er crossed her arms and raised her head, saying, ”Don't explain to me. Explain to Senior Sister Luo!”
”What! That kid dares to cheat on Junior Sister Li...” Countless cold eyes immediately fell on him.
Xiao Chen was feeling confused and desperate. He smiled bitterly and looked at Li Muxue, asking, ”Have you finished your meal?”
”Yes!” Li Muxue nodded. Her flushed cheeks looked like two pieces of red clouds.
”Let's go then.”
”Damn you, kid! Stop! Don't go!”
After 30 minutes, the two youths finally left that gossipy place. Xiao Chen leaned against a big tree as he let out a long sigh. Li Muxue's face was still red. She looked at him and said, ”Uhh... I'm sorry, brother Xiao. Are you going to the library later?”
”Yes!” Xiao Chen thought that there were still so many things he needed to figure out, even though there were no records regarding his last life. Many things had happened in recent years. Especially a thousand years ago, the Barrier between the Violet Manor and the Human World once collapsed, leading to extreme chaos on both sides, which took cultivators a hundred years to completely repair the Barrier.
Although this seemed irrelevant to what happened in his last life, still, there might be some faint connection between them.
They went to the library again. Xiao Chen found some records about the six ancient families in the Violet Manor and the five ancient sects, which made his eyebrows furrowing tighter because he saw ”Xiao” in the six ancient families.
”Ah! Brother Xiao, look!” Li Muxue pointed at a page and exclaimed.
