The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 153

Chapter 153 : ‘Genius’

This fellow was really just trying to trick him, right?

You XiaoMo seriously doubted his words. But he had no way of explaining how he showed up in his bed with no rhyme or reason. Yesterday, he heard that Ling Xiao was busy and today he was here in front of him. He didn’t look the least bit like what he heard, so busy until his feet didn’t touch the ground.

You XiaoMo who had been fooled by him so many times found himself not believing him ninety nine percent.

Flower thief and what not. Did he really think he was a three year old child? This was the Tian Xin Sect. Even though Capital Peak’s security may not be as tight as the library, what flower thief would purposely run to the Tian Xin Sect to pick flowers?

Unless he was complaining that his life was too long, before making up lies, he should first make a preliminary draft.

You XiaoMo criticized him in his heart, looking at Ling Xiao with an expression that clearly said ‘I don’t believe your words’.

Ling Xiao pretended not to see it and beamed while saying, “Seeing that flower thieves are showing up here, I have decided that I will find time to move here to sleep together with you. That’s how it is.”

From head to tail, the person in question, You XiaoMo, had not uttered a single word and Ling Xiao already decided everything. This was clearly an affront to basic human rights as well as outright tyranny!

“No way!” You XiaoMo couldn’t restrain his anger. It was bad enough that Ling Xiao was always bullying him. Now he had to see him everyday? Wouldn’t that mean he wouldn’t have any personal space? There was no way he wanted that!

“As a considerate man, I value your opinion. Say which part is not alright? We can discuss it further.” Ling Xiao smiled as he spoke amiably, as if it was just as he said, that he was a considerate man.

Hearing his words, You XiaoMo felt that he was like a woman. Fine. Before even starting the ‘negotiations’ he was already at a disadvantage. This was definitely not good for the ‘negotiations’ so he had to find a way to turn the tables.

You XiaoMo thought deeply for a bit and then said with a serious expression, “Since you value my opinion, I’ll say it. I feel it won’t do. Your status now is as the Grand disciple of the Tian Xin Sect. If people find out that you are running here to sleep in the middle of the night, what would they think of us? Wouldn’t my reputation be ruined by you?”

Ling Xiao looked at him curiously, “Xiao Shidi, you have a reputation that can be ruined?”

You XiaoMo pouted. In reality, he doubted he had any reputation left to ruin. After all, with so many things happening, the people of the Tian Xin Sect had long ago considered him as Ling Xiao’s. Even the Yellow River could not wash away the filth on his body.

But he ultimately believed that ‘what was clear will be cleared, what was muddy will remain muddy’, so he didn’t want his reputation to be ruined any further. He still wanted to wash it white!

“Xiao Shidi!” Ling Xiao suddenly heaved an exaggerated emotional sigh. When he looked over, he used an aggrieved tone to say, “Do you not believe my words?”

“It would be strange if I did.” You XiaoMo saw he was changing the topic so he didn’t laugh along with him.

Ling Xiao immediately gave him a ‘I knew it would be like this’ expression, “Don’t tell me that, in your heart, I am that kind of person that would run over here to sleep with you with no rhyme or reason?”

The corner of You XiaoMo’s eye twitched suddenly. These words…why did they sound so suggestive? But he still nodded his head, “Yes!”

Ling Xiao was silent for a bit, “I admit, there are special circumstances sometimes, but you also know that I have been very busy recently. Otherwise, I wouldn’t have not come to see you for over a month. In this situation, why would I come running over for no reason? Even if I want to come over, I would choose to come when you haven’t gone to sleep, right?”

You XiaoMo froze for a moment. Seemed like there was really some truth to that.

He thought back for a bit. Ling Xiao didn’t seem to have ever appeared when he was sleeping. Most of the time, he seemed to know before hand, always skipping over the times when he was asleep. It must be said that he sometimes slept during the day.

But to convince him that there really was a flower thief was impossible!

Seeing that he still didn’t believe, he simply used his killer ace, “Xiao Shidi, if you still don’t believe, go take a look at the side of the window. Do you not see a hole the size of an index finger?”

You XiaoMo glanced at him doubtfully, walking over while feeling uncertain. Sure enough he found a hole at the window. The hole was about the size of an index finger but the hole was not in the paper of the window but rather on the window frame.

Although a part of his memory from last night was gone, he still remembered that the hole was not there last night when he closed the window. Furthermore, only a practitioner could create such an even hole. That was to say, there was a possibility that someone broke into his room last night.

Thinking like this, You XiaoMo believed Ling Xiao seventy percent. But what he didn’t know was that the flower thief was currently right in front of him.

Ling Xiao could tell from a glance what he was thinking, so he immediately pressed on, “Xiao Shidi, do you still remember that I left a barrier outside your room? Last night, I felt that someone touched it so I rushed here as fast as I could. Otherwise…” Saying the last bit, he purposely concentrated his gaze on his body.

You XiaoMo instantly felt his hairs stand on end, his face turning deathly pale, “But…isn’t this the Tian Xin Sect?”

He already believed Ling Xiao’s words. It was just that his heart was unwilling to believe that this kind of thing could happen. What more, happen to his body. A man’s chastity could also be in danger?

The corner of Ling Xiao’s lips lifted up as he smiled, “How do you know that the flower thief wasn’t someone from the Tian Xin Sect?”

You XiaoMo immediately stuttered, unable to form any words.

In the end, You XiaoMo was fooled by Ling Xiao successfully. Although it was not a flower thief, that person really had his eyes on him. Furthermore, that person was most probably someone from the Tian Xin Sect.

Ling Xiao didn’t tell him because he has other plans but he warned him not to place valuable things or things that should not be seen by others in his magic bag.

You XiaoMo didn’t realize anything. He only told him not to worry and he himself knew that he must be careful. After all, there were too many secrets on his body. So, all along, he had only put magic herbs he got from the Hall of Enchanted Herbs or the magic pills refined from those magic herbs inside his magic bag. They were all very ordinary things. Even if the magic bag got lost, it was not that big of a deal.

After listening to his words, Ling Xiao was more and more convinced of his intuition.

Since Ling Xiao came over secretly, he didn’t stay too long. A while later, he went back to WuShuang Mountain.

As soon as he left, You XiaoMo started to feel out of sorts. He felt that the things that happened today and last night were very bizarre. Although he knew that Ling Xiao was very capable of convincing someone that what was black was white, he still chose to believe him.

There was a saying in his hometown. It went ‘better to believe the worst, and be pleasantly surprised, than to be optimistic and learn the worst’!

After that strange night, You XiaoMo’s daily life returned back to normal.

With the opening of the Paradise Realm drawing near, all over the Tian Xin Sect there was more and more tension in the air. Capital Peak was no exception but after not too long, something happened that broke this atmosphere.

That was the day when Heaven Peak master’s disciple, Jiang Liu, had a breakthrough.

In the very short span of under a year, Jiang Liu leaped from a level one mage to a level three mage. Although he was still a low level mage, but throughout the whole Tian Xin Sect, and even the Qing Cheng Sect and other major sects, where could one find such a genius that could advance two consecutive levels within a year?

The answer was nowhere!

Furthermore, Jiang Liu took a little over four months to go from a level one mage to a level two mage and then from a level two to a level three, he also only took a little over four months.

As everyone knew that the higher the mage level, the harder it was to advance.

Therefore, since he was able to become a level three mage within the same timeframe, this was undeniably Heaven Peak’s record and glory!

As soon as this news spread, the whole Tian Xin Sect, top and bottom, were all shocked.

Becoming a level three mage in three months, was undeniably a genius of geniuses. Even those who were praised as geniuses before from the three major peaks were never this amazing.

Jiang Liu becomes unbelievably famous. His fame surpassed the number one dark position on the billboard charts, You XiaoMo. For a time, there was no longer talk of You XiaoMo. Instead, more and more people were talking about Jiang Liu.

You XiaoMo heard the neighboring Yang Yi-shixiong say that Jiang Liu was now very cocky since everyone in the Tian Xin Sect was treating him as a precious treasure. He was even acclaimed as the Tian Xin Sect’s most outstanding and most excellent disciple in a hundred years. His fame was unequalled.

When Yang Yi said these words, his tone was so sour that You XiaoMo’s teeth turned soft just from listening to him. But in reaction to this information, his only response was to laugh with no further comments.

Yang Yi assumed that he was speechless because he was jealous, as he himself was feeling jealousy, envy, and hate.

Ever since the news about Jiang Liu got out, every time Heaven Peak disciples came across Capital Peak disciples, the attitude would be so exaggerated that it would flip the heavens. With toes lifted high and haughty manners, it gave them an itchy feeling in their teeth from hate.

If not for their heads telling them they couldn’t be rash, they would have definitely punched their front teeth to a pulp.

Just three days after the news broke, You XiaoMo only had to step outside and his ears would receive news about Jiang Liu. This person who used to give him the feeling of the boy next door now had an even higher status than Tang YunQi in Heaven Peak.

Thinking of this, he couldn’t help remembering that time in WuShuang Mountain when Jiang Liu was threatened by Tang YunQi. Now that he was favored by the Shifu of the Peak, it wouldn’t be easy for Tang YunQi to bully him anymore.

After a few more days, the winds of public discussion finally changed direction again because the news about the exact opening of the Paradise Realm was out.
