Shushu never expected that she would run into Wen Jianxi, this plague-ridden woman, while she was strolling around the city at the foot of her own sect's mountain.
Yes, it was Wen Jianxi. Just as Lu Li was about to step into the restaurant with the sweet potatoes in his pocket, a woman in a pink fairy dress suddenly rushed over and almost bumped into Lu Li.
It was only because Lu Li reacted quickly that he managed to dodge in time; otherwise, if Lu Li had reacted even a second slower, that woman would have crashed into Lu Li's arms.
That wasn't enough. After finally regaining her balance with the help of others, the woman pretended to apologize to the person she had almost bumped into.
Then she blocked Lu Li's way and said in a voice so gentle it was almost dripping with tenderness, "Fellow Daoist Lu, I'm sorry I didn't see you just now and almost bumped into you. Are you alright?"
As she spoke, her eyes welled up with tears, and she stared at Lu Li with a charming yet spring-like gaze. Anyone else would be completely captivated by her eyes and expression.
But when Shushu heard this, he really wanted to give her a big slap. What a coincidence! This is the market of Liuyue Sect. What's so coincidental about meeting someone here? Are you sure you didn't come here specifically to wait for someone?
Guessing that the other party was probably after Lu Li, Shushu's vigilance reached its peak. It quickly patted Lu Li's chest with its little paw, signaling him to leave quickly.
Lu Li was also very shrewd. After recognizing who the people in front of him were, he ignored them completely, walked past them, and went inside.
"Fellow Daoist Lu, are you angry?"
Wen Jianxi probably didn't expect that Lu Li would ignore her, and a hint of displeasure and annoyance flashed in her eyes.
She then followed, her tone very familiar, yet with a hint of coquetry, as if Lu Li were throwing a tantrum at her.
Seeing that Lu Li still ignored her, her eyes instantly reddened, and then she looked at her fellow disciples with extremely aggrieved eyes, signaling them to quickly charge into battle for her.
Sure enough, the next second, her lackeys started to take action.
One of the male cultivators rushed directly in front of Lu Li, blocking his path, looking very indignant on behalf of Wen Jianxi.
"What do you mean by this, Mr. Lu? My junior sister didn't do it on purpose. She's already apologized to you. What more do you want?"
"Get out of the way." Lu Li was too lazy to bother with people who didn't use their brains when they went out. He simply said coldly, his usually gentle face showing a rare hint of coldness.
I was just having a nice stroll when I ran into something like this. What bad luck!
Considering that this was the first time he had brought his junior sister out, and that his junior sister didn't like Wen Jianxi, Lu Li's gaze towards the person in front of him became even colder.
The man was probably caught off guard by Lu Li's reaction and froze in place under his sharp gaze.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Lu Li quickly passed by the group and headed upstairs to the private room. Just as the group behind him was about to follow, he closed the door, giving Wen Jianxi no chance to speak.
Perhaps because they had lost face like that, Wen Jianxi and her group did not cause any more trouble during their time at the restaurant.
The unhappiness that had been weighing on Shushu's heart after meeting Wen Jianxi was healed after enjoying the delicious food at the restaurant.
After the meal, to avoid running into Wen Jianxi and her annoying group again, Lu Li, on Shushu's suggestion, directly called a waiter to settle the bill in the private room.
Then, to the servant's astonishment, they used a teleportation talisman to leave. When the two reappeared, they were already in the market town a few streets away from the restaurant.
