"Could it be... that I've fallen for this guy?"
The sudden thought startled Su Yuewan.
"No, that's absolutely impossible! How could I possibly have such a thought?!" Su Yuewan shook her head repeatedly in fright, dismissing this utterly absurd idea.
How could she possibly like Bai Hao?
From day one, this guy managed to infuriate her almost every day, making her so angry that she wanted to twist Bai Hao's head off several times!
Although Bai Hao's cooking is delicious...
Although sometimes he worries about himself...
Although sometimes he would risk his life for himself...
But that absolutely cannot be a reason for her to fall for this guy!
"It must be because the brand has flared up again, otherwise how could I have such an absurd idea?" In a short while, Su Yuewan denied it to herself more than a dozen times.
Moreover, each time he denied it, his "resentment" towards Bai Hao increased by one point.
When Bai Hao finished preparing a new serving of sweet and sour pork ribs and placed a bowl of freshly cooked rice in front of Su Yuewan, he was startled by the resentful and hateful look in her eyes.
"Well, I've made another serving of sweet and sour pork ribs, and some rice too, Sect Master, look..." Bai Hao didn't know what he had done to offend Su Yuewan again, but it was always better to be cautious.
"What do you mean, 'what do you mean, 'give it to me'!" Su Yuewan glared at Bai Hao fiercely, then snatched the rice and ribs away and began to eat heartily.
Resentment is one thing, but the ribs are innocent.
Su Yuewan treated the ribs and rice as if they were Bai Hao, eating each bite with murderous intent.
Bai Hao was so frightened that he trembled and dared not speak, but he could not leave, so he could only quietly watch Su Yuewan eat...
Soon, the meal was over, and Su Yuewan devoured both plates of sweet and sour pork ribs, leaving only a little bit of sauce.
"I'm full." After eating and drinking her fill, Su Yuewan leaned back, a glistening grain of rice clinging to the corner of her mouth, looking particularly charming in the bright sunlight.
"Sect Master, there's a grain of rice on the corner of your mouth," Bai Hao kindly reminded him.
Upon hearing this, Su Yuewan quickly reached out and touched the corners of her mouth, but she couldn't find a single grain of rice no matter how hard she tried.
"Where is it? I can't find it."
Bai Hao was worried for her.
Is it that difficult? It's as if that grain of rice has an automatic shielding function. No matter how Su Yuewan stretches her hand, she still can't touch that grain of rice.
"Sigh, I just can't do anything with you." Bai Hao rolled his eyes helplessly, stood up, bent down, and reached out to remove the grain of rice for Su Yuewan.
Seeing Bai Hao slowly approaching, Su Yuewan felt as if she were facing a formidable enemy. She practically jumped up and quickly retreated, shouting, "You...you don't come any closer!"
"Uh!" Bai Hao was startled by Su Yuewan's sudden strong reaction.
What's wrong?
He hasn't done anything yet, so why does it seem like he's some vicious villain trying to bully an innocent little girl?
"Um... Sect Master, what's wrong?" Bai Hao was completely baffled.
"Just don't come any closer!" Su Yuewan shouted, her expression somewhat flustered.
"Okay, okay, I won't go, I won't go." Bai Hao waved his hand and took a few steps back as he spoke.
[This is really strange. I haven't done anything to offend her so far today, have I?]
[And it seems like she's afraid of me now. Am I really that scary?]
I'm not some perverted lecher...
Bai Hao was filled with a million questions.
Su Yuewan has been acting so strangely lately that she's left him completely baffled.
"It's nothing, I'm going back. You can stay here by yourself." Calming her flustered heart, Su Yuewan coughed lightly, a slight blush and nervousness showing on her beautiful face.
After saying that, she ignored Bai Hao and turned to leave the backyard as if fleeing, leaving Bai Hao still looking confused.
"Holy crap, I've never been so inexplicable before."
If Su Yuewan had been quiet for a while, it would be acceptable for her to suddenly attack him, hitting and scolding him.
But what is the situation now?
Su Yuewan's reaction just now made it seem as if Bai Hao had done something to her—although he occasionally had those kinds of romantic thoughts, after all, Su Yuewan's beauty was undeniable, so it was impossible for him not to have any thoughts.
But he kept his distance from Su Yuewan.
After all, that woman has an exceptionally bad temper. If she really did something, it should be something she did to Bai Hao, not something Bai Hao did to her.
"Forget it, she's probably just having a mental breakdown again. I can't be bothered with her." Bai Hao muttered to himself as he cleaned up the dishes Su Yuewan had left behind, then put more oil in the pan to fry the ribs.
He made two servings of sweet and sour pork ribs but hasn't even eaten a single piece yet, so of course he has to make another one to treat himself!
...
Thousand Spirit Peak.
Su Yuewan's inexplicable heart palpitations subsided only after she returned to Thousand Spirit Peak and was far away from Bai Hao.
"I knew I shouldn't have gone to see that guy. I didn't expect the mark to have such a deep impact." Even now, Su Yuewan still felt her heart beating a little fast. She quickly took a few deep breaths to calm herself down.
"Oh no, I was so focused on eating that I forgot to tell that guy about the ruins." Only now did Su Yuewan realize that she had eaten quite a lot, but hadn't done anything important.
"Oh my god, it's all that guy's fault for making such delicious food to tempt me!" After blaming herself for a moment, Su Yuewan quickly blamed Bai Hao.
If Bai Hao's ribs hadn't been so fragrant and delicious, she wouldn't have been so tempted that she forgot about her business.
That's right, it's all Bai Hao's fault!
However, she couldn't bring herself to go find Bai Hao again.
She didn't dare.
After much deliberation, Su Yuewan finally decided to have someone else deliver the message.
She summoned Fan Ziming and said, "Go and tell Bai Hao that he'll be included when we go to the ruins. While you're at it, tell him what to pay attention to."
"Uh, Sect Master, haven't you told Brother Bai... Senior Brother about this yet?" Fan Ziming asked, somewhat puzzled.
He thought Su Yuewan would be the first to tell Bai Hao, after all, he had witnessed Bai Hao's strength that day, and he was definitely the second strongest fighter in the Falling Sea Sect!
It would be completely unreasonable not to let Bai Hao go.
"Not yet." Su Yuewan felt a little guilty.
"Then why didn't you tell Senior Brother yourself, Sect Master? Senior Brother is so strong, he must have other missions to do, right?" Fan Ziming scratched his head, still not understanding.
Su Yuewan glared at him fiercely: "Just go when I tell you to, stop talking nonsense!"
"yes!"
Fan Ziming was startled and immediately got up and ran away...
