Chapter 17 - Do you want to see? (1)
Immortal Master Qu Yang had wholeheartedly devoted himself to cultivating and had never considered having a romantic relationship. Moreover, he was 730 years old. Even though he had a pure and honest appearance that was like a clear moonlit night, no one had dared to ask him this question in such an impudent manner in the past 700 years.
For a brief period, he was utterly stunned. And then, his expression suddenly darkened.
The three immortals following after the elder would have never expected Leng Mushi to ask such a question.
One of the shixiongs opened his mouth so wide that one could stuff a steamed bun into it. Didn't Leng Mushi like their shidi (junior disciple brother)? Why had her tastes changed so fast?
Xiao Mian tightened his grip on the sword. He was grateful that Leng Mushi had saved his life, so he was naturally worried that Immortal Master Qu Yang would be offended and attack her in anger.
However, Immortal Master Qu Yang only showed a displeased expression. After a moment, he coldly said, "There's no shortcut to cultivating. This immortal master doesn't need a cultivation partner!"
He was angry.
Anyone would be angry. He had been looking forward to recruiting a little disciple that was not only clever, but also had a good moral character. Unexpectedly, she wanted to take a shortcut by being his cultivation partner.
Fortunately, she had asked Immortal Master Qu Yang instead of another elder. He wandered outside the sect for years on end and saw all sorts of things in the world. As he had stated before, he genuinely didn't care about social ranking. If it was another elder that was asked such an offensive question, Leng Mushi would suffer bitter consequences.
Immortal Master Qu Yang stormed off in a huff and was followed by the three immortals. Leng Mushi thought that if she continued following Fenlian's demands, she was going to end up in an early grave.
Fortunately, Fenlian settled down and said in her mind, "Humph, what a bad temper. His looks aren't even that outstanding. Forget it, I'm not interested in him anymore…"
Fenlian stopped speaking after that, and Leng Mushi's facial wound stopped hurting. Still, it wasn't looking good for her. She hadn't even entered the Taichu Sect, and she had already offended one of their elders.
Leng Mushi sighed and sadly touched her face before going back to her bed to sit. After closing the door, Leng Tianyin wrung her handkerchief and came over to help Leng Mushi wipe her face.
Leng Mushi felt annoyed just seeing her and said, "You can leave. I don't want to see you."
Leng Tianyin's skin had toughened. She didn't walk away. Instead, she said, "Sister, you offended Elder Qu Yang. I heard he's the sixth elder in the Taichu Sect and has a rather high status in the sect. It'll be bad if he says you offended him when you're taking the disciple acceptance test."
"Don't waste your time over those useless worries. Can you go out so I can rest?" Leng Mushi's mind was messy. She had to calm down, but she couldn't do that if Leng Tianyin was around.
Leng Tianyin finally agreed. On her way out, she muttered, "This won't do. I have to ask Brother Xiao what kind of person Elder Qu Yang is."
Oh! In the time she had been unconscious, Leng Tianyin had gone from addressing Xiao Mian as little immortal to Brother Xiao.
Sure enough, the hero and the heroine would never refrain from fooling around no matter what the situation was.
"Out, out, out." Leng Mushi wasn't acting out a scene in the novel, so she naturally didn't care what was going on between Leng Tianyin and Xiao Mian. She drove her away. "Go find your Brother Xiao and cling to him!"
Leng Tianyin left. Leng Mushi laid back down on the bed and thought about how to balance those two quarrelsome annoyances.
She sternly told Fenlian, "If you want me to find a man for you, you have to be obedient. If I get implicated again because of you like today, your outcome won't be good either."
"Besides," Leng Mushi said, "even if you want to find a new man, Immortal Master Qu Yang is at least hundreds of years old. His looks are only so-so. Don't rush into things. Have higher standards."
"What kind of man should I look for then?" Fenlian muttered, "If I'm a good judge for men, would I fall to my current state? I wouldn't need you to find me one."
Leng Mushi was practically a chick that had just left its shell. What did she know about finding a man?
However, in the current situation, she had to pretend to know, so Leng Mushi casually said, "A delectable, younger cultivator with long legs and a perky butt. Someone that's not worldly. Inexperienced would be good. Stop staring at those old, dried out meat."
She continued, "Moreover, that old fellow's cultivation is very high. It's not safe for you. What if he turns out to be a scumbag that eats you up and slaps your soul into dust once he's done with you? You won't even have the chance to go to the underworld to complain to the ghost king."
Leng Mushi brought out her eloquent speaking skills. By the time Fenlian and her were on the same page, it was almost dusk.
The law, who had been silent until now, said, "There are three delectable, young immortals with long legs and perky butts at the door."
Leng Mushi choked. Fenlian cackled.
Leng Mushi couldn't hold back her smile. She cleared her throat and sat up.
