Chapter 419 The Precious Ginseng Fruit VS The Easily Fooled Cultivator 22
Xiao Guozi looked in that direction and met Meng Qizhou's gaze.
She felt a little guilty, but quickly realized that what she had just said was the truth, just not in a pleasant way.
There will always be people in the world who tell the truth; it's impossible for everyone to indulge them.
As an upright, kind, lovely, and intelligent ginseng fruit, speaking frankly is something she should do.
She did nothing wrong.
The little girl straightened her back and continued to stare directly at him, her eyes even seeming defiant—
If you're so capable, come and beat her up.
Hehehe.
Meng Qizhou understood her thoughts, and his expression became even more unpleasant.
It had been raining for the past few days, and the mountain roads were already difficult to walk on. He was worried that she would wait too long in the house, so he took shortcuts all the way, and his clothes got quite dirty from the mud and water.
When he finally managed to pick some fresh grapes and return home, he found no one inside.
Then a servant of Chu Jin'an came to the outside, saying that she was now with the sect leader and helping to identify ginseng fruits.
Fearing that she might not be able to handle things alone, or that she might be bullied, he rushed over.
It was quite a coincidence that as soon as she arrived, she overheard her and Chu Jin'an whispering bad things about him, saying that they disliked him the most and that he was the most hypocritical...
So all these days of feeding them was for nothing.
Just moments ago, she was pretending to be affectionate and obedient, even begging for grapes. But when he couldn't see her, she immediately changed her tune.
That is truly excessive.
"Why are you here?" Little Fruit asked first.
Meng Qizhou glanced at her but did not answer.
Little Fruit ignored him, jumped onto him and climbed up, then perched on his shoulder, its claws pawing at his clothes.
The meaning was clear: she was too lazy to walk and wanted him to take her back.
Meng Qizhou reached out to tear the rotten fruit off.
I just said bad things about him, and now I want him to carry me home? Dream on.
The little fruit was secretly competing with him, stubbornly refusing to get down and clinging tightly to him.
"Qi Zhou..." Chu Jin'an pretended not to have seen anything, ignoring all the little incidents in front of her, and told Meng Qi Zhou about the ginseng fruit in the palace today.
Not long after, Meng Qizhou left with Xiao Guozi.
On the way, Little Fruit was still chattering: "Why are there suddenly so many ginseng fruits?"
Meng Qizhou remained silent.
The little fruit continued, "Just now I was talking to that ginseng fruit, but she wasn't very willing to talk to me, but I don't care... That fruit seems to be badly injured... She's not as strong as me, I'm the strongest ginseng fruit."
She took the opportunity to praise herself.
Meng Qizhou remained silent, but couldn't help but let out a snort.
"What are you humming about? Did you become mute after you went out for a while?"
"..."
No one responded.
Little Fruit couldn't stand his cold face. After being ignored a few times, it got angry and scratched him hard with its claws.
Meng Qizhou grabbed her and squeezed her hard, then retorted, "Some little devils are so self-important. They can't do anything, but they still insist on praising themselves and like to provoke others. Their only skill is their mouth."
"Who are you talking about?" Little Fruit was even angrier.
"I'll talk to whoever gets angry."
"Hmph! Don't talk to me again!" Little Fruit shook him off, jumped to the ground, and ran back quickly without looking back.
...
A few days later.
Since their last argument, the two have been angry and unwilling to compromise, causing chaos in the courtyard these days.
That morning.
Meng Qizhou was carrying his sword and preparing to go to the back mountain when he happened to meet Chu Jin'an, who was also going to practice swordsmanship.
"Praying for the boat."
"Hmm," Meng Qizhou replied, his voice neither warm nor cold.
Although it wasn't very obvious, Chu Jin'an could tell at a glance that Meng Qizhou was in a bad mood, with an unconcealable irritability between his brows.
"What's wrong?" Chu Jin'an asked, walking alongside him. "Is something bothering you?"
Meng Qizhou shook his head.
"I heard from my disciples that your ginseng fruit has caused quite a stir these past few days, and the courtyard has been anything but peaceful. Could it be that you're worried about it?"
As he said this, rain began to fall.
Chu Jin'an looked up at the sky and opened his umbrella.
Meng Qizhou didn't have an umbrella with him at the time, so he had no choice but to go over there.
The two of them took shelter from the rain together under an umbrella.
Thinking about the events of the past few days, Meng Qizhou sighed and frowned, saying, "She really is too noisy, giving me a headache. This girl is quite unreasonable, and she'll cause trouble whenever she's unhappy. I can't do anything about her, so I can only avoid her."
Chu Jin'an paused for a moment, then smiled and said, "I have an idea..."
It sounded like a discussion.
Meng Qizhou looked up at him.
Chu Jin'an: "I've met her a few times, and that's just her personality; it's probably hard to change her nature. Actually, I prefer someone more lively. My ginseng fruit is calm, quiet, and obedient. How about we switch? I'll give you my well-behaved ginseng fruit, and you can have my lively one, how about that?"
