Chapter 160: The Girl's Mind is Hard to Understand
As soon as Maidong entered the room, he sat down by himself, poured a cup of tea and drank it.
Seeing her like this, Lingxiang couldn't help but feel curious: "What did you do? Why are you so thirsty?"
Maidong didn't say anything. He poured another cup of tea, gulped it down, let out a long sigh, and then answered Lingxiang's questions.
"I just smashed a set of Jade Flowing Cloud Teacups belonging to my Fifth Uncle-Master. He chased me across several hilltops and I ran for a long time before I finally got rid of him. I was so exhausted."
Lingxiang was surprised when she heard this: "But is it the jade tea set you got from Heng Kingdom?"
Maidong nodded, without a trace of shame on his face. Lingxiang took a breath of cold air and pointed at her and said:
"You're dead! That was Fifth Senior Brother's favorite set of teacups. He never used them on a normal day. He just kept them there for fun. And you actually broke them. This sect is so small, we'll see them everywhere. Let's see how you'll face it in the future."
But while Lingxiang was speaking, Maidong was actually staring at Lingxiang and nodding continuously with a smile on his face. After Lingxiang said this, she looked at Maidong's wide eyes and couldn't help laughing.
So during this warm spring time, one could only hear bursts of silver bells coming from Xianyunju.
Looking at the two women, Adao felt confused. He had clearly gotten into trouble, but these two women didn't care at all and treated the matter as a joke.
Women, they are truly unpredictable...
Adao yawned, then lay down with his belly sticking out. After a while, he started snoring.
Lingxiang found it funny when she thought of Master Zhaoming's furious look. Her fifth senior brother was good in every way except for one thing: he loved collecting things too much. He always treated these things as treasures and had to wipe them two or three times a day.
"But why are you going to your fifth uncle's place?"
Mai Dong sipped his tea and rolled his eyes, saying, "It's because I'm bored. There's nothing important happening in the sect right now, Qiuyun Peak doesn't need my attention, and even Xinyi is gone. I've got nothing fun to do on my own, so I thought I'd go to Fifth Uncle-Master and ask for some treasures to play with. But my hand slipped and I dropped it."
As he spoke, he reached out and scratched Adao's belly. "You have no idea the color on Fifth Master's face at that time. It was truly more exciting than that dye vat. I didn't mean to do that. He's been very kind. He's chased me from Yu Cang Peak to Kuncheng Peak and has run through half of the sect. Now I'm afraid he's gone to Qiuyun Peak to find my master."
Lingxiang laughed so hard that she fell backwards. After a long while, she finally spoke, "Then it's not safe for you to hide here with me. If he can't find you at Prison Cloud Peak, he'll definitely think of me. I guess it won't be long before he comes to get you."
Mai Dong, however, didn't seem to mind at all. He just waved his hand at Ling Xiang and said, "It's okay. I have all the senior brothers at Qiuyun Peak. They will definitely be able to help me stop them for a while. I can still rest here with you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he leaned forward on the table, propped up his chin with one hand and sighed, "I wonder where Xinyi and the others will go to train, and how long it will take them to come back."
Lingxiang glanced at Maidong, who was still looking out the door like he was in love, and cursed in her heart: "What a little rascal! I guess that jade teacup was just an excuse. This is your real reason for hiding in my place..."
"They did tell me where they were going before they left, but even if you knew, what could you do? Could you still go down the mountain to look for him?"
Mai Dong straightened up after hearing this, his eyes rolled, and then he scratched A Dao's belly and said, "What else can I do? Master will definitely not allow me to leave the mountain, so I just said it casually. Knowing their itinerary will give me a better idea, right?"
Looking at Maidong pretending to be serious and indifferent, Lingxiang couldn't help laughing out loud.
Hearing Lingxiang laugh, Maidong realized that she was teasing him. He stood up and pretended to be angry and pushed Lingxiang: "You are so good, Lingxiang, you clearly saw through my thoughts, and you still teased me like this, you really deserve a beating!"
Lingxiang looked at Maidong who was angry and embarrassed, and laughed even more widely. Even Adao, who was asleep, shuddered, looked at her with half-open eyes, and then went to meet Zhou Gong again.
"What did I see? I didn't see anything!" Lingxiang still smiled heartlessly.
Seeing her like this, Maidong was so angry that he wanted to slam the door and leave, but when he thought about not getting any information out of her yet, he had to take back the step he had just taken.
"You are a fool who has never understood anything. How can you understand a girl's mind?"
Hearing her complain like this, Lingxiang laughed even harder: "Yes, yes, I don't understand, it makes you sound like someone who is not a young girl."
After hearing Lingxiang say this, Maidong couldn't help laughing, and then in Xianyunju in this warm spring of March, bursts of silver bell sounds were heard again.
At this time, Adao was too lazy to even lift his eyelids. He only thought about these two women. They were really crazy. They were not as dignified and quiet as his grandmother, which was what a woman should be like.
He smacked his lips, turned over, and went back to sleep.
After laughing, Mai Dong asked seriously, "Tell me the truth, do you know where Xin Yi went?"
"Why, do you really want to go look for him?"
Maidong nodded when he heard this, but Lingxiang hesitated.
Ever since Maidong was brought to the Yuanqing Sect by Master Fuyin, she rarely left the sect. Even when she did go down the mountain, it was only to help her tend to the spiritual plants at Youran Residence. With her simple mind, if she went alone, she would likely be deceived.
But since she insists on doing this, why not...
"Not only is your master worried about letting you go down the mountain, but I, too, won't allow you to go out alone. But if you can put on a show with me, I'll go with you to find Xinyi. What do you say?"
After hearing this, Maidong understood what Lingxiang meant.
Ever since the last incident with Kunwu Sect, Master Fuyin seemed to be keeping a closer eye on Lingxiang. Not only did he instruct the boy guarding the mountain to keep a close eye on the mountain gate and not allow Lingxiang to take even a single step out, he would also come to Xianyunju from time to time to check on Lingxiang to see if she was safe.
Although she didn't know what Lingxiang and Master Fuyin encountered in Tulun Mountain, she understood very well the feeling of being under surveillance.
…
Qiuyun Peak was in turmoil that day because Maidong left a letter saying that other disciples would go down the mountain to gain some experience, but she had never been out and seen the world, so she ran out of the mountain gate without permission and is now missing.
When Master Fuyin heard the report from his disciple, he almost died of anger.
He was really overwhelmed. If he was guarding against one, he couldn't guard against the other. He was only concerned about Lingxiang, but he didn't expect Maidong to cause trouble for him.
Now, look what happened. She left a letter but didn't say where she was going, so even if we wanted to look for her, we wouldn't know where to go.
Maidong has been staying in the sect since he was a child. He has been raised in the palm of his hand and has never experienced the dangers of the world. If he is deceived by someone, how could he be in trouble!
When he thought of this, even the highly skilled Master Fuyin became so anxious that his mouth was full of blisters.
