"Take a good look in the mirror before you go out next time. Look at those dark circles under your eyes, people would think you've been beaten up."
Lu Shi'an: "..."
He subconsciously reached out and touched his eye bags; he really hadn't had time to look in the mirror before leaving home that morning.
Unexpectedly, the master still found out.
Jiang Yuetong slowly stood up and walked towards the door, pausing as she passed him: "Fine, this won't happen again."
Upon hearing this, Lu Shi'an immediately stood up and happily followed, promising as he walked, "Master, don't worry, I'll stay away from Lü Jingliang from now on and I'll never do anything for him again!"
Jiang Yuetong's face was expressionless. She gave a faint "hmm" before continuing, "Take the secret manuals off the table. They're an eyesore."
"Yes!" Lu Shi'an immediately stopped and turned around to put the manual into his spatial storage with a smile on his face.
Seeing that he was about to follow again, Jiang Yuetong, who was coming downstairs, frowned slightly and said, "You should go back and rest. We'll be on our way in a few days."
Lu Shi'an nodded without asking where she was going, and simply waved to her, saying, "I know, call me if Master needs anything!"
Upon descending to the first-floor reception hall, Jiang Yuetong habitually scanned her surroundings with her divine sense and then saw Li Qingrong sitting alone at the dining table.
Jiang Yuetong's eyes flickered slightly, and she walked towards her: "If you don't like the food, ask the waiter to change it for you."
Li Qingrong was startled by the sudden sound.
She snapped out of her thoughts, looked up at the person approaching, and pursed her lips, saying, "No need. Most of the food here is seafood. Even the vegetables that are readily available in the Central Plains are extremely expensive here."
Jiang Yuetong raised her delicate eyebrows, then sat down opposite her and glanced down at the dishes on the table.
"Waiter, bring us all the non-seafood dishes in your restaurant."
The moment the words were spoken, everyone who heard them was stunned.
The waiter who arrived blinked at her, uncertainly saying, "Sir, we live by the sea, so apart from seafood, other dishes are quite expensive. Are you sure?"
Jiang Yuetong nodded calmly and composedly.
"Alright! Please wait a moment, sir!" The waiter turned and ran into the kitchen with a big smile, as if afraid she would regret it.
Across from her, Li Qingrong looked at her with a complicated expression. After hesitating for a moment, she said, "You don't need to do this. The food here is so expensive. There's no need to waste money. Besides, the two of us can't finish it all."
Jiang Yuetong smiled and said, "Who said it's just the two of us? Once the food is served, others will naturally come."
Li Qingrong nodded as if she understood, pursed her lips and said nothing more, her gaze falling to the window.
Jiang Yuetong, sitting opposite, was at a loss for words.
She woke up last night with a fever, and Shi Xin prepared a medicinal bath for her. During the bath, she asked Shi Xin what Li Qingrong meant by those words she said during the day.
She said that Shi Xin was because she never took Li Qingrong seriously and always felt that their relationship was based on mutual benefit.
However, Li Qingrong did not think so. Although there was some mutual benefit between them, after spending so much time together, Li Qingrong had long regarded her as a friend.
When she was in trouble, her thought was to have someone take Li Qingrong away. Jiang Yuetong's actions made her feel that having her by her side would be a burden, which is why she said those words.
She felt that although her spiritual power was weak, with the water unicorn and the divine sword in hand, she could definitely help Jiang Yuetong if no one kidnapped her.
As for Lü Jingliang, it was reasonable for him to be taken away, since he was suffering from cold poison and could not use his spiritual power too much.
Jiang Yuetong cried out: I've been wronged!
