“You are truly different from the women I usually meet. I thought that woman was lying, but I never imagined that you were really so capable. However, the only difference is that you are not as vicious and arrogant as she described.”
The expert stopped his sword and sat down to drink tea. He knew that even if the two fought for three days and three nights, it would be difficult to determine a winner. Fortunately, it would be better to sit down and have a proper exchange.
Perhaps it will give me unprecedented insights, after all, it's not easy to meet such a powerful woman in the Sword Sect.
"I can roughly guess what she said to you at the time. It was nothing more than slandering Xie Zhou, saying that he was arrogant and brainless, that he only knew how to show off all day long, and that he did things by his own will and did not care about other people's feelings at all."
After Xie Zhou finished speaking, she narrowed her eyes and revealed a sweet expression, completely losing the sharp look she had just given.
It's as if he's completely different from before, utterly unrelated...
Upon hearing this self-deprecating remark, the expert put down his cup and nearly spat out the water in his mouth. "It seems that you two understand each other very well. What he said to me is exactly the same as what you said. At the time, I thought that there was nothing between you two, and that she simply looked down on you. I never expected that things would turn out to be the opposite."
"Hey, you can't just say things like that. I don't mean to look down on him. After all, he's the leader of a sect. There's still a certain distance between us." Xie Zhou didn't tell the other party that he was a disciple personally taught by the leader of the Sword Sect. Instead, he spoke as an ordinary martial arts practitioner.
This can actually ease the tense atmosphere, at least making the other person feel that they are not so bad at taking a beating.
"By the way, why is that female disciple sect leader so hostile towards you?"
"She's always been fiercely opposed to evil, and anyone she feels isn't a good fit for her team is automatically an enemy. You don't even know the details of what happened between us back then, and you don't need to know. The only reason she's brought you here these past few days is to humiliate me, simply because I didn't bring back the monster I went to get a few days ago..."
That's why those outside felt that Xie Zhou was arrogant and lacked strength; otherwise, why would he allow the magical beasts to continue eliminating disasters?
No one knows the reason behind it, only he knows. If he really brings the monster out, he will probably be feared by others at all times.
I'd have to be distracted and worry about everything, which is not my style.
"Owner……?"
Suddenly, a hesitant shout came from outside the door. Upon hearing the familiar voice, Xie Zhou immediately turned around and saw the spirit insect standing outside the door.
I didn't expect that this guy had finished his recuperation while I wasn't paying attention, and now he's showing up right outside the door. I'm quite surprised.
Are you my master?
After asking this question, the spirit insect immediately grabbed Luo Fentian's arm, looking very wary.
Xie Zhou felt a little puzzled and looked up at the two people beside him. Luo Fentian then remembered to explain, "It seems that the spirit insect was seriously injured by the magical beasts before, which caused some of its memories to be lost. Before coming here, I showed her your portrait, but she still couldn't recognize you very well."
After hearing this, she couldn't help but look at the spirit insect with a pang of heartache, as if all of this should never have happened to her.
Suddenly, as if it had seen something familiar, the spirit insect rushed towards the expert and wrapped itself around him.
He even snorted and sniffed her closely, saying, "You smell so good, and you're so beautiful!"
No matter how Xie Zhou and Luo Fentian pulled downwards, the other party refused to let go.
"I'm really sorry, this is my spirit beast. A few days ago, when I went to Medicine Ghost Valley to chase after a demon beast, it was seriously injured because it took an attack for me, so it has some memory confusion now."
Luo Fentian seemed somewhat at a loss, unsure of where to move his hands. "Junior sister, I'm really sorry. I went to the mountains to pick up some herbs and put them in the Jade Pool. Perhaps it was because of the herbs that the spirit insects unintentionally developed some feelings for each other. She had never experienced these things before, so she didn't know."
Upon hearing this, the expert's face showed a hint of helplessness and indulgence, and he was no longer in such a hurry to make her let go.
"Be good, listen to me, I'll take you to play somewhere else, okay? I have lots of delicious food over there, let's go together!" Luo Fentian stood there dumbfounded, racking his brains, not knowing how to pull this guy away.
Upon hearing this, the spirit insect clearly perked up, but it was still unwilling to let go. So it looked up and asked the expert, "There's something delicious over there, shall we go together? Okay?"
The other party couldn't help but feel a little helpless; they really had never encountered such a persistent person.
But then I thought about how the other person had just been injured and was not thinking clearly. Would it be too inhumane to do it myself?
So I had no choice but to go with them to eat what they called food...
Luo Fentian felt like he was about to die of anger. He didn't have any food in his hand. He was just going to the kitchen. Did he have to take this expert with him?
But for now, it seems that this is the only way. They can't say that they originally wanted to take the person away first, but now that they haven't taken the person away, they've dragged someone else into this mess.
I should never have brought her to see Xie Zhou. It would have been better to have them meet secretly at night than to end up like this.
In the following days, whenever the spirit insect had time to open its eyes, it would seek out a master and then spend the whole day playing together.
The female disciples, having lost face in the previous martial arts competition, wanted to regain their dignity. So they arrived early at the inn where the Jianzong group was going and prepared the drugs.
However, they never expected that their petty tricks would be so easily defeated in the eyes of others. The Sword Sect members quickly realized that there was something wrong with the food, and after questioning the innkeeper, they learned that it was the female disciples who had played tricks.
I was immediately furious. What if I got an upset stomach? Who could I complain to?
"What does it have to do with us if there's something wrong with the food you're eating? Shopkeeper, don't talk nonsense."
Why is the Empress acting like she'd rather die than admit it? She's just secretly watching the show from the sidelines.
The shopkeeper was somewhat helpless; no one believed him no matter what he said. So he simply recounted the whole story.
The Sword Sect disciples naturally knew who was behind this, and immediately turned their attention to the female disciples.
"Everyone knows who did it. Don't think that hiding in the background will keep your tricks a secret. If you're upright and honest, our Sword Sect won't stoop to their level."
These words directly angered the female disciples' faction, and the two groups ended up blocking each other and fighting.
