In the dark night, Sophie's eyes were as big as bells.
She racked her brains but couldn't figure out what had suddenly gone wrong with this man.
Could it be that this guy has been coveting her for a long time?
He hadn't attacked her before at Fengqingmen because there were so many people around and there were so many gossips, so the moment she left Fengqingmen, he couldn't wait to chase her and wanted to...
“Beast!”
Sophie angrily uttered two words, but her words were unclear because her cheeks were pinched.
Just as she was secretly gathering her strength to give the other person a quick death, a wisp of black air escaped from her mouth and was then sucked into the mouth of the man in front of her.
Um? ? ?
In an instant, dozens of question marks appeared in Sophie's head.
So this guy's behavior just now was not intentional towards her, but was to drive away her bad energy?
Oh my god, isn’t that a huge misunderstanding?
"What did Junior Brother Ling call me just now? A beast?"
Xuan Lin stood up and glared at her, his tall body becoming more and more oppressive.
How could Sophie admit to such a heinous crime as insulting her teacher?
"Yan'er was slurring her words just now, so I guess Master must have misheard. Actually, Yan'er was talking about being thin. It's been a while since we last met, and Master has become much thinner."
Sophie explained with a smile.
"I didn't know that a day without seeing you would last so long in my nephew's eyes. It seems that my nephew really misses me, his uncle."
The man spoke in a calm voice, and his tone was so uneventful that it made Sophie feel uncomfortable. She simply changed the subject and thanked him.
"Yan'er thanks Master for saving me today."
A gentle voice suddenly came into his ears, and Xuan Lin calmly lowered his eyes and looked at the girl who was kneeling down to worship him.
In the flickering candlelight, the half of her neck exposed from her collar was particularly dazzling.
"Uncle Master?"
Sophie, who did not receive a response from the politeness, called out tentatively. Xuan Lin then asked her to get up, and then waved his hand to disperse the barrier that had been set up around them at some point.
"Ling Yan, how do you feel?"
Ling Si, who was the first to come forward, asked with concern in his eyes. Such enthusiasm was not pleasing to Sophie.
If a younger woman doesn’t call you sister, she must have wild thoughts!
She realized later that she had never heard the word "Senior Sister Ling" from this guy in these days.
"Lingsi, please don't be rude. How can a junior like you call me by my name?"
Xuan Lin, who had not yet left, seemed to see through her thoughts and scolded her in a deep voice.
Ling Si then realized his impoliteness and accepted the punishment.
"I have committed insubordination and forgotten my seniority. I hope that Master will punish me."
"Uncle Master, Junior Brother Ling was just too concerned for a moment. Punishing him would be too severe. It would be better to let him reflect on his mistakes behind closed doors."
Sophie "kindly" spoke up for him with the idea of out of sight, out of mind.
Ling Si frowned in disapproval.
Rather than the tedious process of self-reflection, he would rather have a more direct punishment. However, now that the selection was imminent...
"Lingsi, what do you think?"
Xuan Lin gave the choice to Ling Si himself. Ling Si pondered for a moment and then spoke slowly.
"Master, this selection hasn't ended yet. If I were to punish you, it would affect my performance. If I were to reflect on my mistakes in seclusion, it would definitely affect the rest of the competition. How about this? Let me complete the selection first, and once it's over, I'll return to Jiuhua Peak to accept my punishment!"
"Then, I'll do as you say."
