The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 147

Chapter 147 : Won’t Let Go

Although the Tian Xin Sect has a lot of disciples, it was not as if a huge group of people would go down the mountain every day. So there weren’t many people at the Winged Bird public square.

But the manager of the Winged Bird public square was a very business-minded person so he divided the square into two. On the right side he reserved twenty of the biggest Winged Birds to be ordered about by the Tian Xin Sect disciples. On the other hand, the Winged Birds on the left side were for the other mages of HePing town. But there was a charge determined by the length of the journey.

When Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo arrived, the left side of the public square was neither crowded nor deserted. Some people were in the process of leaving HePing town on the Winged Birds. Others were still negotiating because each trip was at least one gold coin regardless of distance. But if the distance exceeded a certain limit, there was an additional charge. Some people felt that it was unfair.

You XiaoMo only gave them a curious glance before heading to the right side of the public square with Ling Xiao. Unexpectedly they actually ran into a familiar person that couldn’t be any more familiar. Not only that, there was also bad blood between them. That person was none other than the one he hadn’t met for a long time, Tang YunQi. Besides her there were ten or so fellow disciples. Unfortunately among them there were quite a few that You XiaoMo recognized.

Xiao Long was Lei Ju’s Master and he was the Elder that was leading them for this trip.

When You XiaoMo saw him, he unconsciously shrank because he suddenly remembered one thing. It seemed like he also had bad blood with this Elder Xiao, albeit indirectly. Seeing him, he immediately remembered the two incidents that happened in the library. Elder Xiao’s two disciples, Li Jun and Wang YuFei were already his enemies.

But what really made his balls ache was that Li Jun and Wang YuFei were also in this group of people. Two pairs of piercing eyes seemed to shoot out sharp knives, flying over and aiming straight at his forehead.

“Elder Xiao? I didn’t expect to meet you here. Clearly it’s fated!” Contrary to expectations, the first one to open his mouth was Ling Xiao. But in You XiaoMo’s ears his words seemed to be somewhat mocking.

Ling Xiao didn’t conceal the joy he felt, his handsome face smiling like always. It was just that it was nothing but a complete sham. However, You XiaoMo was the only one who could detect it.

When Tang YunQi saw him, a pleasantly surprised happy smile immediately bloomed on her pretty face. But when she caught sight of You XiaoMo, her face fell in an instant not concealing her hatred for You XiaoMo in the least.

Elder Xiao was after all an Elder, having a whole lot of experience with his many years. Of course he wouldn’t lose his cool in front of a junior. As for his current dislike towards Ling Xiao and You XiaoMo, he still had to suppress it in the end. Smiling on the surface, he said, “How could your Xiao-shishu be as idle as Lin-shizi? Running here and there with a puny mage all day? If your Master finds out about this, he just might give you another talking to.”

When he mentioned the puny mage, Elder Xiao’s gaze looked to the side and striked You XiaoMo. A gaze that was filled with disdain and contempt.

You XiaoMo rubbed his nose and turned away, ignoring him.

Ling Xiao laughed as he spoke, “Elder Xiao need not take the trouble to worry about this matter.”

Xiao Long snorted and said coldly, “Recently the actions of the demons are getting bolder. Lin-shizi should not simply go out as you please to avoid not being around when needed.”

Ling Xiao laughed but didn’t reply.

The group with Xiao Long also came down to buy things in preparation for the trip to the Paradise Realm. They had just finished everything fifteen minutes before. Unexpectedly, they bumped into each other on the way back.

But they had already chosen two large Winged Birds which could seat twelve. Even though there were only eleven of them and an available empty seat, Xiao Long didn’t invite Ling Xiao.

Ling Xiao also did not intend to take the same Winged Birds as them. He pulled You XiaoMo along to a nearby Winged Bird.

The person in charge of the public square was very familiar with Ling Xiao. When he saw him bring someone over, he already told his underling to bring over a Winged Bird that could seat four.

Ling Xiao let You XiaoMo get on first before getting on himself.

But just as he was about to step up, Tang YunQi’s voice came from behind him. “Xiao-ge, wait for me. I also want to go with you.”

Before the others could react, Tang YunQi simply jumped down from the Winged Bird and ran up to Ling Xiao. Not waiting for Ling Xiao’s answer, she said to Xiao Long and company, “Xiao-shishu, you all can leave first. I want to go back with Xiao-shixiong.”

Since the Tian Xin Sect reserved the larger Winged Birds for their own use, the smallest ones could seat four. Therefore, Ling Xiao’s Winged Bird could still seat two more. It was because of this that Tang YunQi dared to say what she said but she simply didn’t think that Ling Xiao would not agree.

Although Xiao Long was a rough person, his nerves were definitely not as rough. He could think of what Tang YunQi failed to grasp. Hearing her words, he immediately thought of calling her back. Suddenly, he seemed to think of something, causing a barely detectable sliver of delight to flash in his eyes but It was gone in an instant. Then he said to Ling Xiao who had his eyebrows raised, “Since it’s like this, then we’ll have to trouble Lin-shizi to take care of YunQi. We’ll leave first.”

After saying these words, he left immediately with the others.

Two gigantic Winged Birds flapped their wings and rose up, stirring up a sizable gust of wind. Then they simply flew further away, slowly disappearing from their line of sight.

On the other side, Tang YunQi extended her hand happily towards Ling Xiao, “Xiao-ge, give me a hand.”

Ling Xiao suddenly narrowed his eyes. They were so sure that he wouldn’t just leave her there they dared to make a one-sided decision? It seemed as if he didn’t even need to guess to figure out what they were thinking.

If he just left Tang YunQi behind, Tang YunQi and Xiao Long would definitely go tell Tang Fan. Looking horizontally and vertically, there was no way to explain himself so the outcome would probably be him angering Tang Fan, causing him to be punished. It may even implicate You XiaoMo.

But…until now, no one had ever dared to threaten him like this!

“Ling-shixiong, let her come up.” Right at this moment, You XiaoMo who was sitting on the Winged Bird suddenly grabbed his arm, speaking softly.

Ling Xiao inclined his head and looked at the earnest look in You XiaoMo’s eyes. Reining in the dark storms that were just swirling in his eyes, he looked back at Tang YunQi and threw these words at her indifferently, “Come up by yourself.”

Saying that, he stepped onto the back of the Winged Bird and sat down next to You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo looked at Tang YunQi as she slowly clambered up. Although this Shimei had his ideal outward appearance of a delicate maiden, her character left much to be desired. He also wouldn’t choose this kind of target to display his gentleman-like manner. So he put on a thick skin and ignored her, just like what Ling Xiao was doing.

The two front seats were occupied by the two of them so Tang YunQi could only sit on one of the back seats.

You XiaoMo thought that she would choose to sit behind Ling Xiao. Unexpectedly, Tang YunQi actually chose to sit behind him…

The moment Tang YunQi sar down, You XiaoMo immediately felt a burst of cold air. There was no need for him to turn around to know that Tang YunQi’s glare was locked on him. He could already feel her eyes filled with intense hatred, boring into his body.

Just when he was thinking all sorts of crazy things, the winged bird took off.

In a moment of inattentiveness, You XiaoMo’s body toppled backwards. But in an instant, Ling Xiao, at his side, with quick eyes and deft hands, encircled his waist and pulled him into his embrace.

Due to this unexpected episode, You XiaoMo was pressed onto Ling Xiao’s thigh. After he regained his balance, Ling Xiao still had no plans to return him to his seat. With one arm wrapped around his waist, he imprisoned him tightly.

You XiaoMo was scared stiff. Especially since Ling Xiao’s ardent admirer was sitting behind him.

It must be said that jealous women were very terrifying, especially this Tang-shimei. Furthermore, he was rather thin-skinned. He didn’t like to flirt with Ling Xiao in front of others. So…this kind of flirtatious behavior…was better done in private.

But even after exerting all his strength, he failed to break free from Ling Xiao’s arm. Much like walls of copper and iron, there was no way to shake it even a little bit. Instead, You XiaoMo became breathless.

“Behave a little.” Ling Xiao exhaled softly next to his ear.

You XiaoMo’s ears immediately turned bright red. He muttered softly, “Let go of me first.”

Ling Xiao tightened his hold, laughing while saying, “You are so stupid. You can even fall while sitting down. I feel like this way is best.”

My dear, that was not the important point. The most important point was that there was a jealous woman behind them.

Behaving so intimately in front of her? You XiaoMo thought to himself. He felt that if the person he liked were to act so intimately in front of him with someone he hated, he would definitely beg Buddha for his blessing to stab this ‘dog couple’ to death. Not to mention, in his previous life, he followed his mother and believed in Buddhism.

Then, contrary to expectations, aside from a momentary change in mood in the beginning, Tang YunQi didn’t behave any differently, staying quiet the whole way, not uttering a single word. In under an hour, they arrived back at the Tian Xin Sect.

When they parted ways at the fork in the road, Tang YunQi suddenly turned around and said one sentence to Ling Xiao, “Xiao-ge, I definitely won’t let you go.”

Saying that, she didn’t wait for Ling Xiao to answer before walking away, leaving You XiaoMo by himself to face the unreadable Ling Xiao, feeling rather terrified.
