Watching Yan Rui's angry departure, Lin Zhenzhen snorted coldly.
You little punk, you're still too green to mess with me.
Because the opening time of the ghost market was changed at the last minute, she had very little time to prepare.
The most important thing is to fabricate a reason for Mo Yin to let her go down the mountain.
Namo Temple.
Mo Yin looked at the exquisite wooden box in his hand and asked suspiciously, "What is this thing?"
"This is a gift for my senior brother."
Unexpectedly, upon hearing this, Mo Yin raised an eyebrow and immediately handed the item back to her: "I don't want it, take it away."
Lin Zhenzhen's eyes widened: "Why?!"
Mo Yin waved his hands repeatedly: "Don't think I don't know what you're thinking. If you didn't need something from me, why would you use these little trinkets to curry favor with me?"
Lin Zhenzhen pouted, looking a little aggrieved: "You haven't even looked at it yet, how do you know it's just a little gadget?"
Do you think I don't know what's on you?
Mo Yin patted the back of his hand: "Even if it's something valuable, isn't it still something I gave you? From the left fanny pack to the right fanny pack, hey, is this interesting?"
Lin Zhenzhen bit her lip: "Oh, no, it really is something I made myself, take a look."
Mo Yin sighed deeply, but still opened the wooden box lid.
Inside lay a round, chubby little thing.
Its eyes are mung beans, its mouth is red beans, its nose is corn kernels, and its hands and feet are tree branches picked up from who-knows-where.
These things were pieced together to form a small white snowman with a strange smile.
Mo Yin remained silent for two seconds.
Then, gritting his teeth, he shouted, "Lin Zhen!"
"What's wrong?" Lin Zhenzhen shrank her neck. "It's so cute. If you don't like it, just give it back to me. Why are you being so fierce?"
Mo Yin's chubby face turned red with anger: "You dare to touch ice in this freezing weather? Don't you want to live?"
Lin Zhenzhen didn't expect him to be angry about this: "I only touched it for a little while, and after I rolled it into a ball, I threw it into the box. It wasn't cold at all, really."
Mo Yin snorted coldly: "Who was it that promised me that I would strictly abstain from grains from now on?"
"There are red beans, mung beans, and corn kernels in this." Mo Yin looked up. "Lin Zhen, it seems you've been eating quite well behind my back?"
Lin Zhenzhen's heart skipped a beat!
Oh no! I was careless and forgot about that.
She immediately leaned softly against Mo Yin's lap and said coquettishly, "I didn't eat much. I just cooked something occasionally to satisfy my cravings by smelling it."
Although he was still angry, Mo Yin couldn't bring himself to punish her.
He sighed helplessly and rubbed the back of his head: "Tell me, after going through all this trouble, what exactly do you want?"
Lin Zhenzhen shook his sleeve and gave him the reason she had made up before she came.
After listening, Mo Yin's brows furrowed deeply.
"What does Yan Rui's journey down the mountain for training have to do with you?"
Lin Zhenzhen remained unfazed: "As an elder, can't I be concerned about the progress of the younger generation's cultivation in Cangyan Mountain?"
Mo Yin stared at her silently, as if trying to bore a hole through her face: "I've noticed you two are always hanging out together. You wouldn't happen to have feelings for that kid..., would you?"
Lin Zhenzhen blinked, a plan suddenly forming in her mind. She lowered her eyes and pretended to be shy, saying, "Senior brother, you just need to know what's going on in your mind, don't say it out loud."
Mo Yin opened his mouth, his expression complex. Coincidentally, another person entered the main hall at that moment.
"Peak Master Su, you've come at the right time. I heard your disciple is going down the mountain to gain experience."
Lin Zhenzhen turned around and saw that slender and tall figure.
"Really?" The man glanced at her expressionlessly. "I haven't heard Yan Rui mention it."
Mo Yin chuckled twice: "Lin Zhen said he cares about the younger generation and wants to go down the mountain with him. What do you think, Peak Master Su?"
Su Yu gave a forced smile and said, "As long as Yan Rui has no objections, that's fine."
It's over.
Judging from his expression, you can tell he's probably going to have another argument with Yan Rui, and that guy will probably give him the cold shoulder again.
After leaving the Namo Temple, Lin Zhenzhen followed Su Yu all the way.
But the other person pretended not to hear and did not respond to her calls. In desperation, Lin Zhenzhen had no choice but to grab his sleeve.
"Peak Master Su, wait a moment, let me explain!"
Su Yu turned around and said coldly, "Let go."
Lin Zhenzhen immediately let go of his hand, showing no backbone: "Okay, I admit that Yan Rui's trip down the mountain this time was not for training."
"I just needed to find a reason to convince my senior, so I used him as a shield."
"Oh." Su Yu made a gesture as if to leave.
Lin Zhenzhen tugged at his sleeve again, looking pitiful, and said, "Peak Master Su, you're not going to go back and cause trouble for Yan Rui, are you?"
“Lin Zhen.” Su Yu turned his head. “Since you put Yan Rui under my tutelage back then, he is my disciple, and how I discipline him is my business.”
"If you want to cause trouble, you can find someone else; it's none of my business. But if you want to find Yan Rui, then I'm sorry, I cannot agree to it."
"Peak Master Su, Brother Su, Brother Yu, Hero Su." Lin Zhenzhen walked around to him and opened her arms to block him.
"I promise this is the last time, okay? From now on, no matter what happens, even if I die on Tianfeng Peak, I will never bother you again."
Upon hearing the second half of her sentence, Su Yu subconsciously frowned, about to retort.
"Please have pity on this lonely old woman like me." Lin Zhenzhen pretended to wipe away her tears. "I'm so old, and I don't even have a single apprentice to command. My life is so miserable and bitter."
Su Yu recalled her tortuous experiences over the years and felt a pang of emotion: "...So many talented disciples over the years, and you rejected them all. Now you're in this state, isn't it all your own doing?"
"How can that be the same? Let me ask you, if one day Yan Rui stops being your disciple and someone else takes his place, would you be willing to accept that?"
“I…” Su Yu paused, “There is no such possibility, so I will not make such meaningless assumptions.”
Yes, very likely!
Lin Zhenzhen felt apologetic in her heart. After all, she had laid the groundwork for so long, not only to see Yan Feichen again, but also to put the side quest of training Yan Rui to become a deputy general of the demon race on the agenda.
But regardless, it's good that Su Yu has agreed to go down the mountain.
"Thank you, thank you. You are such a kind person. I wish you and your disciple a long and happy life together."
Su Yu coughed lightly, looking rather awkward, and glanced haphazardly behind Lin Zhenzhen before changing the subject.
"I've wanted to ask this since the beginning: that thing that followed you all the way, is it your new spirit pet?"
Lin Zhenzhen turned around and saw a blue-black butterfly with dazzling and beautiful colors in the sunlight.
She smiled and said, "No. Maybe it's because I'm the Fragrant Concubine that she's following me."
"Huh?" Su Yu didn't hear clearly and subconsciously bent over.
Unexpectedly, Lin Zhenzhen leaned forward and gently hugged him.
"Don't push me away, just give me some face."
