Shi Miao held the tea and drank it methodically, looking well-behaved and quiet.
Qin Nanyu seemed to be very interested in Shi Miao as well. He would find topics to chat with her from time to time, and his attitude was gentle with a bit of attentiveness.
It was the first time Shen Rou saw her son being so eager to please a little girl, and her eyes were almost filled with smiles. If her son was lucky enough to be favored by Shi Miao, she would be able to finish two more bowls of rice just by looking at Shi Miao's face every day! That face was simply growing into her heart.
She looked at her son's face again... Well, yes, her son looked more like her and was not dragged down by his father's looks.
Everyone could see Qin Nanyu's attentiveness and care for Shi Miao. Qin Nanyu acted as if she was in love at first sight. She looked at Shi Miao as if the whole world could only see her. If a young girl was not very worldly-wise, she might fall into it easily.
After Shi Miao's cultivation level rose, he became more sensitive to people's emotions. Although Qin Nanyu concealed it well, she still sensed the malice beneath his gentle attitude. Was he trying to stand up for Zhou Man?
The curve of Shi Miao's lips remained unchanged. For Aunt Rou's sake, she wouldn't take the initiative to deal with him, but it would be another matter if he took the initiative to deal with her.
After finishing her meal, Shi Miao politely declined Qin Nanyu's offer to send her home and went back to the villa.
During this period, in order to make it easier for those masters of metaphysics to deliver treasures to his home, Shi Miao no longer lived in school, but in a villa.
Her neighbors have become accustomed to the occasional lightning flashes over Shi Miao's house, and there are even some curious people who set up betting tables there.
Before Shi Miao got home, they informed her in the group.
"No lightning today!"
Okay.
Shi Miao was a little disappointed. She had just seized a sword-shaped magical weapon the day before yesterday, with a fire attribute. She had modified it and given it to Yu Wang, who was more adept at fire magic. As for Chen Chunrang, he hadn't found a more suitable weapon for him yet, so he could only reluctantly give him a defensive magical weapon.
I just don’t know if other masters of metaphysics have heard something about it, but no one has taken the initiative to come to her house to deliver things since then.
This made Shi Miao very disappointed.
"They lack perseverance, don't they? If they give up so easily, how can we expect them to go further? To cultivate immortality, one must fight against heaven and fate."
Chen Chunrang said, "Because the Wenshi Sect has spoken."
"The Wenshi Sect has announced that the Qingniu Mountain inheritance is in their hands. They wouldn't mind exchanging a few words with anyone who covets the technique."
"The sect also said that if they were allowed to see Shan Jukai, they would beat him up every time. They said they disdain to associate with such a villain who bullies newcomers."
Newcomer Shi Miao: “…”
In fact, Wenshimen did this out of kindness. They probably thought someone was deliberately plotting against her.
It was indeed Shan Jukai who released the news at the beginning, but it was she who fanned the flames later.
Shi Miao was just a little surprised, "Wenshimen is quite well-informed."
"Well, I heard that their sect's chief disciple went down the mountain to train a few months ago. Maybe he's in S City."
"By the way, his name is Xuanlou."
Xuan Tower?
Shi Miao had a good memory. She recalled that Ji Jingyao had indeed had a young master of metaphysics named Xuanlou. Ji Jingyao's relationship with the Wenshi Sect was closer than she had imagined.
This time, Wenshimen clarified the matter so quickly. I wonder if it has anything to do with Ji Jingyao.
Shi Miao looked in a certain direction.
…
The Qin family's banquet was scheduled for June 24th, when Shi Miao was already on summer vacation. The reason it was later was because the Qin family had just returned home and had a lot of things to deal with.
Coincidentally, the Qin family's banquet was held at their Shuipingshan estate. They had purchased the estate from Zhou Liheng at a price 30% below market value. Zhou Liheng had tried to raise the price, but the Qin family had Wen Ying on their side. Besides the newly returned Qin family, the other wealthy families in City S preferred to build their own estates and were unwilling to take over.
It is also because Zhou Liheng is very short of funds recently, otherwise he would not sell this manor which is said to be Zhou Man’s favorite vacation spot when she was a child.
Shi Miao put the invitation aside. This invitation was drawn by Qin Nanyu herself, and it showed a lady who looked similar to Shi Miao.
During this period, Qin Nanyu always pretended to have a good impression of her and often sent her gifts.
Sometimes they are homemade maple leaf bookmarks, and sometimes they are desserts from a treasure shop I pass by... They are not expensive, but they look very thoughtful.
Shi Miao refused and said that it was just not fate.
To be honest, Qin Nanyu should be glad that she didn't agree, otherwise if they really had an engagement... Qin Nanyu really couldn't withstand the erosion of her luck, and he was afraid that he would become disabled on the day the engagement was signed as a sign of respect.
Although Shi Miao's current cultivation level was far inferior to that of her previous life, she had also reached the foundation-building stage. Her luck and fate were beyond the reach of ordinary people. She didn't marry because she cared about her partner's life.
Qin Nanyu didn't say anything because of Shi Miao's lukewarm attitude, but deep down he was actually very unhappy. In the past, if he showed at least a little interest, those women would throw themselves at him one by one.
"So what does Shi Miao like?"
Without noticing, Qin Nanyu found himself blurting out his doubts while on a date with Zhou Man. As soon as he said it, he regretted it.
"I'm sorry, I shouldn't have mentioned her in front of you." He showed a guilty look on his face. Because of Shi Miao, Zhou Man became the most unpopular person in the circle. Wouldn't it be like rubbing salt into her wounds if he mentioned Shi Miao's name?
