The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 35
Chapter 35: Uproar in the Canteen
The result was , when the two of them appeared, You XiaoMo was again rightfully the center of attention. It was just that this time, there was also Ling Xiao. It just happened to be the peak time for dinner. When the two of them arrived, there were already a lot of people seated inside.
Upon seeing them, especially when they saw the one by You XiaoMo’s side, Ling Xiao, there was a disciple that spewed out his food right there and then , s praying on the disciple opposite of him, covering his face with food. The latter didn’t manage to get angry or wipe himself off because he was also dumbstruck by what he saw.
Right at that moment, the thought that flashed through everyone’s mind was that the rumor was indeed not false. The Warrior Division Lin Xiao had actually ran over to their domain to eat. Absolutely no one would have believed it before.
But now, not only had he appeared, he came together with You XiaoMo who had been embroiled in scandal these past few days. Furthermore, their relationship was so close that they were eating together in front of everyone. If anyone dared to say that there was nothing between them, they would definitely be cursed to death.
The usually noisy and boisterous market-like atmosphere of the canteen became unusually quiet. You XiaoMo cried tearless tears. It was not as if he didn’t resist, it was just that faced with Ling Xiao, his protests only seemed like tickles. Ineffective and in vain.
“Lin-shixiong, how about we eat back in the room?” You XiaoMo asked cautiously.
Ling Xiao shot a glance at him in return, “Since we’re already here, what’s this nonsense about going back to the room? Go get the food, I’ll find a table and wait for you.”
You XiaoMo felt the impulse to stab him to death. This clearly wasn’t what he said on the way here. He purposely wanted to see him suffer. Without waiting for him to ask what he liked to eat, Ling Xiao walked away, actually going to look for a table. But most of the tables in the canteen were actually already occupied. So , You XiaoMo suddenly hoped and prayed that Ling Xiao wouldn’t be able to find a seat.
Since he didn’t know what Ling Xiao liked to eat, You XiaoMo could only take a little bit of everything. In the end, by the time he carried a big tray of food to look for Ling Xiao, he realized how wrong he was.
Ling Xiao found a spot, but it was definitely not an empty spot. That big table could seat ten people , but how did Ling Xiao do it? A ten person table and yet there were more than ten people crammed around him. Furthermore, they were mostly females except for a few men.
You XiaoMo saw him right away. He couldn’t even pretend he couldn’t find him. So when he went over, there was simply no place for him. Seeing him come over, Ling Xiao said a few words to the female disciple next to him. That female disciple suddenly covered her face coyly while standing up and giving up her seat.
You XiaoMo was completely speechless. This man was what one would call a beast in human clothing, the black sheep in literary circles. So detestable towards him, always seeking amusement at his expense, but to the other disciples, he smiled so freely, both elegant and graceful.
After he sat down by Ling Xiao’s side, he heard a voice that only he could hear, “It’s just getting food, why are you so slow?”
Slow? He already considered this fast after interrupting Ling Xiao being hugged from all sides. Probably due to the rapidly spreading news, more and more people were arriving at the canteen. Among them were those that had already left after eating, and were now rushing back again.
As a result, You XiaoMo felt extreme pressure during this meal. Knife-like stares scraped across his body, if not from a thousand eyes, then it was at least eight hundred. Embodied in all those glares was admiration, jealousy, and hate.
But Ling Xiao was also probably fed up with the situation , a s he finished quickly and pulled You XiaoMo, who still hadn’t finished eating, out of the canteen. This was the only time You XiaoMo didn’t complain about Ling Xiao’s dictatorial actions because he also really wanted to leave that place . He was only there because of Ling Xiao, so it didn’t matter that he hadn’t finished eating.
Upon reaching the room, Ling Xiao didn’t go in. He just asked You XiaoMo for that day’s batch of magic pills and left. You XiaoMo already had everything prepared. For the whole day, other than refining the one hundred magic pills to be handed over to the Hall of Magic Herbs, he also refined Ling Xiao’s share. Just enough, not one more, not one less. As for tomorrow, other than those for Ling Xiao, the rest was for himself.
After sending Ling Xiao off, You XiaoMo took out a few books from his room, and hurried towards the library. Although what Ling Xiao said was right, that the [Heavenly Soul Scripture] was written in ancient text, he still wanted to go to the library to look around to check if he could find some information.
