Song Cha: “…”
The tit-for-tat confrontation between Chu Man and Shao Yumiao just now was forcing Song Cha to make a choice.
And now Chu Man's direct statement of "choose her or me" has completely exposed this tit-for-tat confrontation. It seems like it's either her or me, or me or her.
But how could Song Cha make a choice?
If she chose Chu Man, Shao Yumiao's relationship with her would definitely not be as good as it once was. They might even become enemies. Who knows, if she becomes powerful someday, she'll be in trouble.
Choosing Shao Yumiao would also be doomed to tragedy. Chu Man was currently at the Spiritual Transformation stage, and Shao Yumiao would have to wait until she reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage to evenly match Chu Man, who was at the Spiritual Transformation stage. Furthermore, Chu Man possessed a powerful alchemy skill, allowing her to use elixirs to summon powerful beings at the Tribulation Crossing and Mahayana stages.
Therefore, if she chooses Chu Man, she will definitely be in trouble in the future.
If she had chosen Shao Yumiao, she would be finished now.
So...this choice must not be made.
Song Chashou simply looked at Chu Man and asked aggrievedly, "Master, don't you care about me anymore?"
Chu Man: "..."
Seeing Song Cha acting like a spoiled brat, Chu Man was a little confused. She had just been talking about a choice, so why did Song Cha openly ask if she cared about her?
But Song Cha's coquettish behavior was so adorable that Chu Man couldn't contain herself. So even though she was still angry, Chu Man still answered Song Cha's question: "Cha'er is my apprentice, so of course I care about her."
After saying this, Chu Man waited for Song Cha to answer her question of who to choose.
After Chu Man caught Shao Yumiao slandering her, she was already mentally prepared for who Song Cha would choose. A good friend is important, but a mentor is even more important.
Since this good friend can slander the master, it is better not to have this good friend.
Wanting this, Chu Man looked at Song Cha again, wanting Song Cha to consciously tell her the answer she wanted.
Then, as Chu Man expected, Song Cha finally spoke.
Song Cha looked even more aggrieved at this moment: "Master, do you really care about me? Why can't I feel that you care about me?"
Chu Man: "..."
Chu Man's eyes flashed with shock. She really couldn't understand why she, who cared so much about Song Cha, was deemed to not care about him? And she couldn't sense it?
She obviously cares about Song Cha so much and treats Song Cha as her future partner!
Seeing Chu Man remained silent, Song Cha continued, "I heard that if you truly care about someone, you won't make things difficult for them. You're my master, and my beautiful sister is my best friend. Why can't you two just get along? Why do you insist on me choosing one?"
As if she was too sad, Song Cha couldn't help but cover her face after saying this, and said in extreme sorrow: "I can't make a choice at all."
Chu Man: "..."
Chu Man: "..."
Song Cha's voice was a little muffled, and it sounded like she was crying.
Chu Man felt a little pity and wanted to go up and comfort Song Cha.
But before she could comfort him, she felt something was wrong.
If she ran to comfort Song Cha now, how would she comfort him?
The process of comforting someone often requires you to say what she says.
Did she have to reject every word Song Cha said when she went to comfort him?
When Song Cha covered her face and said painfully that she didn't want to make a choice, she said, Cha Cha, don't be sad, do you have to make a choice?
Whenever Chu Man thought about this scene, she felt suffocated.
Just when Chu Man was hesitating, Shao Yumiao had already walked over.
Shao Yumiao's originally cold face was replaced by worry. She held a white handkerchief in her hand and was carefully wiping it from Song Cha's hand that was covering his face.
"Cha Cha, don't cry." Shao Yumiao's voice was much softer and gentler. "I promise you that I will get along well with your master in the future. I will never cause you any trouble again and let your master force you to make a choice."
"Cha Cha, if you care about someone, you won't let them make a choice, and I won't let you make a choice. I'm going to apologize to your master right now."
Chu Man: "..."
After hearing Song Cha's words, Chu Man, who was originally hesitating, felt a little overwhelmed.
This Shao Yumiao is simply a natural villain. With such low emotional intelligence, he is surprisingly good at implying things.
What does it mean to let your master force you to make a choice? What does it mean that I won't let you make a choice?
Doesn't this make her look like someone who doesn't care about Song Cha and is forcing him to choose between the two?
Is this tolerable?
This is tolerable.
At least Chu Man endured it.
She felt that if she couldn't bear it now, and let Shao Yumiao say good things about herself while criticizing her way of comforting her, it was very likely that after she finished comforting Song Cha, his heart would no longer be on her side.
Chu Man also walked towards Song Cha.
She also picked up a handkerchief and began to wipe Song Cha's face.
Tears coming.
"Cha'er, don't cry. Master will never force you to make a choice again. If you want to make good friends in the future, Master will not stop you." Chu Man said hypocritically.
Although Chu Man's consolation was hypocritical, it was sincere. At least, that was what Song Cha wanted to hear.
But how can a crying person be comforted by just a few nice words?
People who can be coaxed into submission with just a few nice words often give people the impression that tears are worthless and can be easily coaxed into submission.
Song Cha doesn't leave such an impression on others.
So, Song Cha still covered her face, and water slipped through her fingers.
She was quiet and didn't say a word.
Seeing that Song Cha was still crying and her tears seemed to be falling even harder, Chu Man suddenly became more worried.
"Cha'er, don't cry." Chu Man's voice was filled with self-blame. "It's Master's fault."
Song Cha: “…”
After hearing Chu Man's words, Song Cha finally put down his hands that were covering his face.
There were traces of tears on her face, and she looked at Chu Man aggrievedly: "Master, no, it's not your fault. It's because my friends said bad things about you that you became like this."
"Master, I will never make friends again." Song Cha seemed even more aggrieved when he said this. "I... I only want this beautiful sister as my friend, okay?"
Song Cha looked very aggrieved, and said that he would not make friends for the sake of his master, and that he only wanted the beautiful sister as his friend.
These words perfectly hit the soft spot of Chu Man and Shao Yumiao, softening their hearts even more.
Chu Man felt a little guilty. She knew Song Cha was a kindhearted person. Even if Shao Yumiao had said something bad about her, it was only Shao Yumiao's fault. She could have just taught Shao Yumiao a lesson in private. Why did she have to force Song Cha to make a choice?
As a master, she is so mean to her apprentice!
After hearing what Song Cha said, Shao Yumiao also began to blame herself.
Song Cha said she was her only good friend from now on, and she felt a little happy. She would only have Song Cha as her good friend from now on. But… although she was happy, Shao Yumiao also knew that this matter was her fault. Song Cha's master was not a good person, and she could let it go if she knew about it. She could tell Song Cha secretly later.
Why did they tell Song Cha in such a dangerous place as the inn door? Not only did it arouse Master Song Cha's vigilance, but it also caused Master Song Cha to question Song Cha and force her to make a choice.
As a friend, she was so mean to Song Cha!
