A subtle interest flickered in Jiu Xian's eyes.
Following the child's movements, he extended and retracted his left hand, causing Wei Zhou to lunge forward and be pushed back repeatedly, unable to touch Jiu Xian, let alone retrieve the candy he longed for.
Wei Qing, who had come over to check on the carriage out of concern, said, "..."
He never expected that Jiu Xian would be the master of the world's number one assassin, Lou Lou.
Rumors are indeed unreliable.
After being bothered by the two of them, Luo Xi finally opened her eyes: "...??"
What's going on?
She glanced at Jiuxian, who was leisurely eating and treating Weizhou like a toy, and then looked at the child whose tears were constantly welling up in his eyes but never fell. She laughed in exasperation.
"Nine Strings, is it fun to bully a child?" She reached out and rescued the poor baby.
Jiuxian glanced at the indignant child in Luo Xi's arms, silently withdrew her hand, and instead of responding to her words, asked, "Are you free now? Let's spar."
Rosie: "..."
She took a deep breath, then another.
"No, I'm busy!!"
As she spoke, she picked up Wei Zhou and stepped off the carriage. Although she liked to spar, it had only been a short time. Fighting every day would be exhausting. Did she have that much free time?
"Wei Qing, is there anything to eat? I'm hungry."
"Yes, my mother and the others just finished cooking and have already served it to our benefactor." Wei Qing took his aggrieved son from Luo Xi's arms and said gently, "Our benefactor, please eat quickly, lest it get cold."
Looking at the considerate Wei Qing, Luo Xi found Jiu Xian increasingly annoying.
"Okay, let's all go eat then, so we can get on our way soon."
As she spoke, she picked up her bowl and chopsticks and started rummaging through them. She had been busy all night and was really starving. She had to admit, traveling with them was really nice; she didn't have to worry about these daily chores.
Well, if the Minister of State needs any help in the future, as long as it's not too excessive, she should lend a helping hand appropriately.
Seeing that Luo Xi ignored him, Jiu Xian paused for a moment, then strolled over.
Is this guy still not giving up? Luo Xi stopped eating and squinted at Jiu Xian.
I was thinking, maybe I should beat this guy up before coming back to eat?
However, at this moment, Jiuxian called out to the nearby grove of trees, "Go and get some food."
There was a slight movement in the grove, then silence.
Ah, so he was hungry. Luo Xi continued to shovel rice into her mouth, as long as it didn't cause her any trouble.
Not long after, before she had even finished eating, Qinglong returned, covered in sweat, carrying a food box. He was incredibly fast.
"Hey OP, I bought the food, where did you put it?"
He remembered that the poster had eaten something before coming over, so why was he being asked to buy more?
Suddenly, something flashed through Qinglong's mind. Could it be...?
He glanced at Rosie with a strange expression. Could it really be what he was thinking?
Jiuxian didn't say anything, but reached out and took it, opened it and glanced at it. He nodded in satisfaction, then waved to Qinglong, signaling him to leave.
Qinglong sighed inwardly at the pity, but he didn't dare to watch the landlord's commotion; wouldn't that be asking for trouble?
Luo Xi assumed that Jiu Xian wanted to eat it himself and didn't pay any attention. However, she saw him take out the things inside and place them in front of her one by one: minced meat and cabbage porridge, milky white chicken soup, plump buns, a plate of pastries, and cut fruit.
"Eat this," he said.
Rosie was taken aback: "...For me?"
Could they have poisoned him?
She glanced at the man sideways, her eyes full of suspicion.
Nine Strings: "..."
Without explaining, he took out an empty bowl from the food box, picked up a little of each item, and ate it all in a few bites.
Then he moved the items closer to Rosie.
Look at her.
Luo Xi understood; it was indeed meant for her to eat, and it wasn't poisoned. "Thank you."
She took back what she had just said about him being annoying.
Luo Xi didn't stand on ceremony. She picked up her chopsticks and started eating, even sharing half with the others. There was a lot of food, otherwise she wouldn't have eaten anything.
Hmm, it's pretty good. I wonder where Qinglong bought it.
Before long, everything was inside her stomach, and she patted her slightly protruding belly with satisfaction.
Seeing this, Jiu Xian's thin lips curved into a small smile. He stood up, looked at her, and said, "You're full, let's have a spar."
Rosie: "...??"
Did she hear that right? So this guy bought all this food so he could spar with her?
Does this mean that Liu Liu has been fed?
She's still annoying, as expected.
Wei Gang spat out a mouthful of water. This Ninth Floor Master is too interesting.
The others couldn't help but chuckle, but no one actually laughed out loud; they were all blushing with suppressed laughter.
“I’m busy.” Rosie said curtly.
She was starting to regret it; she wished she hadn't agreed to his proposal yesterday.
Rosie bypassed the nine strings blocking her way and got into the carriage.
Jiuxian stared at her retreating figure with dark eyes, seemingly lost in thought. After a while, he lifted his foot and followed her.
Wei Gang: "...Is this Ninth Floor Master trying to take advantage of his benefactor?"
This dedication to martial arts competition is too much; no wonder his skills are so good.
He's starting to admire them a bit now—no, he should admire both of them.
Aunt Wei nudged Wei Qing: "Why don't you go over there later? It's not appropriate for our benefactor, a young lady, to ride in a carriage alone with the Ninth Master."
It would have been best if she had gone, but the Ninth Floor Master's cold face was too frightening.
"This..." Wei Qing didn't really want to face Jiu Xian either.
Moreover, he was a man, and it seemed even more inappropriate for two young men and their benefactor, a woman, to ride in the same car.
