"Cough cough!" Liang Ci coughed, not knowing whether he was really feeling unwell or just didn't want to hear about other people from Mu Huan.
After spending so many days together, Mu Huan had a rough idea of what Liang Ci was thinking. He nodded slightly and obediently kept his mouth shut. He resolutely promised not to tell Yang Tao a single word about the book's false portrayal of him.
"Nothing, I just suddenly forgot. Sorry, I've been reading a lot of books recently, so I only remember a vague idea." Mu Huan hurriedly took a sip of water to make himself look less embarrassed.
"Hmph!" Yang Tao snorted. He felt that these two people didn't seem like master and disciple, but more like a well-matched couple, deliberately working against him. Liang Ci alone was enough for him to handle, and now with his little apprentice, he figured his end was not far away.
After taking a sip of tea, Yang Tao began to lament the passing of time. He had made the wrong friends. Why had he been so mean in the first place, actually provoking a great Buddha like Liang Ci?
Back then, he and Liang Ci were the first to emerge from the Chaos. He felt that everything outside of the Chaos seemed new, including Liang Ci. So he went over to talk to her for a few more words, but she ignored him completely. He kept trying to get close to her, which led to the current situation where he was constantly suppressed.
The three of them "chatted and laughed" for quite a while, though of course it was just a polite remark. Actually, it wasn't "joyful" at all, at least not for Yang Tao.
Soon, Yang Tao's food was served. Mu Huan, with the approval of Liang Ci and her less "important" host, Yang Tao, began to devour it. God knows what her master was thinking. Although roast chicken was delicious, it couldn't be eaten every day.
She eats roast chicken every day and she almost turns into a roast chicken.
"Liang Ci, are you abusing your little disciple?" Look at him, he looks just like the beggar on the street who hadn't eaten for many days when he went to inspect the human race. So pitiful!
Liang Ci was also puzzled. The little girl usually ate roast chicken happily every day, but why did she pounce on the fresh food like a tiger today? Are all ghost women like this nowadays? Are they so heroic?
"Master, you should eat too! It's delicious!" Mu Huan ate while letting Liang Ci eat.
Overall, except for Yang Tao having a gloomy face from beginning to end, the meal was still very pleasant. Of course, only Mu Huan thought so.
The table was a mess, with more than a dozen bowls almost empty. If you didn't know, you would think something had just happened here.
Liang Ci was no longer surprised by Mu Huan's appetite. But for Yang Tao, it was truly an eye-opener. He felt that ever since Liang Ci, his young apprentice, came to him, he had become a completely different person, and almost everything about him had changed.
For example, why do women eat so much? Or why are women so bold (or rude) in their words and actions?
Mu Huan patted his belly, expressing his satisfaction with today's meal.
"Are you full?" Liang Ci frowned slightly as he looked at Mu Huan's satisfied face. Would eating like this harm her health? Then he thought again, the little girl is still so young and is in the growth stage. It doesn't matter if she eats a little more.
"Thank you so much for your hospitality, Master Yang Tao!" Mu Huan stood up and gave a rather awkward salute. Okay, she had only just started learning these things and wasn't very proficient yet. She couldn't do them as smoothly as others.
"No! No! Thank you!" He gritted his teeth and said these three words. Now Yang Tao seemed to have anticipated how he would live in the future, because there was another person who came to eat for free.
"Liang Ci, I see that your little apprentice hasn't yet mastered all the necessary manners and etiquette. You should know that the God Clan attaches great importance to these rituals."
Yang Tao was just giving a kind reminder. He actually didn't like the overly complicated etiquette of the Protoss, but there was nothing he could do. The Protoss were used to it, and the old folks always regarded it as the highest standard, which could not be violated.
"Yeah!" Liang Ci nodded symbolically, not knowing whether he had heard Yang Tao's words or not.
"Moreover, your little disciple is not cultivating divine power, but as your disciple, he will naturally show off his skills in front of outsiders. You'd better keep it secret." The identity of a ghost clan member cannot be revealed easily, and he is the most talented ghost clan member. I don't know what Liang Ci was thinking. He just brought him back like this, and he is not afraid that others will cause trouble for him.
"I know my limits!" Liang Ci had already thought about all this and had figured out how to deal with it.
Yang Tao knew that although Liang Ci seemed unreliable in his eyes, he was very reliable when it came to doing serious work. He also had his own sense of propriety and knew what to do and what not to do.
"It's good that you know, otherwise even I can't protect you, my little disciple."
The two of them deliberately avoided talking to Mu Huan, not wanting her to know about their past. Mu Huan also wisely avoided talking to her master and his friend, letting them talk about business while she left the Yang Tao Hall.
But who knew that he was so lucky, he just came out and ran into Lord Xi Ling who was driven away by a few words from the master!
"What a coincidence! I didn't expect to see you here." Xi Ling walked over and took a look inside the Yangtao Hall. She knew Liang Ci must be inside. Last time, she was impulsive and forgot Liang Ci's rules for a moment, so she went to his courtyard on her own.
"What a coincidence, Miss Xi Ling!" Mu Huan smiled wryly. She had originally wanted to avoid it if possible. After all, her master had said that before one's wings are fully grown, one should not cause trouble! Although he was behind her, it was better to keep things peaceful after all!
"How dare you!" A woman in a purple dress beside Xi Ling shouted, "This is the Supreme God Xi Ling. Everyone should address him respectfully as 'Sir'. Where did you come from, little girl? How dare you be so disrespectful to Lord Xi Ling?"
Xi Ling did not stop the maid from defending her or scolding Mu Huan. After all, what Zi Yi said was right, wasn't it?
In a place like the God Clan, the most important thing is etiquette and hierarchy, and even though she is Liang Ci's little apprentice, she is no exception.
Mu Huan took a deep breath. Her master had said that a little impatience can ruin a great plan, so she endured it. However, tolerating Xi Ling didn't mean she had to tolerate the maidservant beside her! Otherwise, she would really treat her like a soft persimmon.
"Lord Xi Ling!" Mu Huan smiled faintly. "Lord Xi Ling is really good at disciplining his subordinates. Is this how the etiquette of the God Clan teaches a servant girl to respect others? This little girl is calling me a little girl. Those who don't know her think she is praising my youth, and those who know her think she is scolding me."
