Chapter 60 : Another Type of Cultivation 9 (1/2)

Shi Sheng brought Lin Yiyi to Feng Ci. Lin Yiyi was still pondering Shi Sheng’s words so she hadn’t noticed the person in front of her until she was flung away by a large force.

She sat on the ground and gazed dazedly.

Feng Ci grabbed Shi Sheng’s hand while glaring at Lin Yiyi with an unpleasant expression. That glare caused Lin Yiyi’s scalp to tingle and feel like cold air was surrounding her brain. Her body softened as she felt fear pound her heart like a tsunami and drowning her.

“What are you doing?” Shi Sheng gave him an exasperated eyeroll. “She’s my Martial Niece. Martial Niece, understand?”

“She’s not allowed to touch you!” Feng Ci’s tone was slightly cold, causing Lin Yiyi’s heart to tremble. ‘Master, come save me! There’s a monster here!’

Shi Sheng’s furrowed her brows. Even if she continued trying to reason with him, it wouldn’t work out. Lin Yiyi might even be harmed, so Shi Sheng decided to let it be.

‘At least you can stay alive! If this had been before, you would have already been turned into a pile of ash!’

……

When they returned to Heaven’s Edge Peak, Lin Yiyi leapt into her Master’s arms and trembled. She looked scared out of her wits but her face rubbed up against Bai Lang constantly. Shi Sheng weakly facepalmed. ‘This little pervert…’

Feng Ci continued staring at Lin Yiyi, his thoughts indiscernible. Shi Sheng told them she was going to find Yu Xiao and ordered Feng Ci to behave himself. And he actually agreed! However, his gaze had never left Lin Yiyi and Bai Lang.

‘This fellow isn’t thinking of burning Lin Yiyi while I’m away, is he?’

Thinking of this, Shi Sheng brought Feng Ci along with her anyways. ‘It’s much better to keep this human-shaped killing machine where I can see him.’

Yu Xiao didn’t seem surprised at Shi Sheng’s return. He seemed more interested in Feng Ci though. The atmosphere was rather harmonious as the two gazed ‘deeply’ into each other’s eyes.

‘Have I(bbb) walked into the wrong set? Don’t Masters usually start a fight when their disciples bring back a man? How come you guys are getting along so well?’

Shi Sheng idled away for the full five minutes they’d been staring at each other. Yu Xiao finally withdrew his gaze. “Xiaoshu, where did you pick this person up?”

Shi Sheng “…” ‘Master, what’s with you? I thought you were the lofty and cold type? How can you use ‘pick up’[1]? Your image is ruined!’

“Master… is there anything wrong?” Shi Sheng was feeling a bit apprehensive. ‘What does he mean by this?’

Yu Xiao looked at Feng Ci, his expression as cold as ever. “I have something to say to Xiaoshu alone. Might I request that this sir here go outside to wait?”

Feng Ci immediately revealed his unhappiness. Shi Sheng hurriedly comforted him before he finally left the room in a huff.

Yu Xiao formed a soundproofing barrier with a lift of his hand. “Xiaoshu, though this person’s destiny is strange, he is the best Dao companion[2] for you…”

‘Chotto matte kudasai! Master, what are you saying? What best Dao companion? What about that teacher-student relationship? What’s with this tone that sounds like you’re giving away your daughter?’

Yu Xiao slowly spoke for quite a while. Toward the end, Shi Sheng was in too stunned a state to listen to what he said. ‘They’ve only met once yet now this cheap Master’s sold me off… sold off… off… off…’

“Xiaoshu, your fate is like that. Only if you are together with him do you have a chance of survival.” Yu Xiao sighed. “Master can’t help you out much more. You go and consider this on your own.”

‘Consider what? What did this cheap Master say just now? I didn’t hear anything ah!’

Shi Sheng got chased out while she was still in a daze. Yu Xiao reminded her before she closed the door, “Xiaoshu, tomorrow go with Master to the Main Peak.”

‘It’s probably for the matter with Ye Qingqiu.’

Shi Sheng felt her chest grow stuffy upon seeing Feng Ci. Her cheap Master had meant that if they weren’t together, she’d die. ‘What’s with this dumb setting?!’
