The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 41
Chapter 41: Jealousy
From the sound of his voice, You XiaoMo immediately knew who it was . Turning around, he saw the familiar figure of Ling Xiao, he was finally back after being away for four days. Furthermore, from the look of it, it seemed like he came right over after coming back. Looked like he really couldn’t wait for the one hundred magic pills.
You XiaoMo didn’t notice his displeased tone and walked up to Ling Xiao and asked casually, “Ling-shixiong, you’ve finally come back. Last time someone came over to tell me that you were going on an assignment. That person must be your younger disciple, right?” Saying this, he took out two small bottles from his bag and just when he was about to hand them over, Fang ChenYue walked over to them.
“You are the Warrior Division ’s Li n Xiao-shixiong, right? How do you do? I am Fang ChenYue. Pleased to meet you.”
Ling Xiao calmly narrowed his eyes. Under his scrutiny, Fang ChenYue actually smiled very freely. Of course this was when there was no pressure. If Ling Xiao were to emit his power, even a hundred of Fang ChenYue wouldn’t be able to withstand it.
You XiaoMo realized that he had yet to introduce them to each other, “Ling-shixiong, this is my Da Shixiong Fang ChenYue.”
After a brief frown, Ling Xiao put on an earnest look, saying like the spring breeze, “How do you do? I had long heard XiaoMo-shidi talk about you. Meeting you now, it is clear why you are the outstanding disciple of Capital Peak. I heard that you are already a level four mage at such a young age. How admirable!”
“Not so. Lin-shixiong is exaggerating. The number one talent of the Warrior Division. I should be the one to admire you.” Fang ChenYue smiled while nodding.
Even though he felt that the Lin Xiao in front of him now was different from what he had heard, this was the first time meeting him face to face and there was no way for him to bring it up.
You XiaoMo had long grown accustomed to the phoniness of Ling Xiao, changing faces at the drop of a hat and such. But this skill, he didn’t expect that meeting for the first time these two were praising each other. Praise me once, I’ll praise you back. Neither willing to fall behind.
In the end, it was Fang ChenYue that stopped the conversation saying that he had something to do before leaving. Right after Fang ChenYue walked away, Ling Xiao gave You XiaoMo a cold look and huffed before turning around and walking off.
Getting huffed at for no reason, You XiaoMo was momentarily stunned. He quickly chased after him and only caught up when they reached his room. Ling Xiao simply pushed open the door and walked in. He sat on the chair stonily, not uttering a single word.
You XiaoMo had no idea why he was in such a bad mood , and so he closed the door before walking over.
“Ling-shixiong, did the assignment not go well?” You XiaoMo asked gingerly. Saying this, he stole a peek at his face which was seriously black and forbidding. Who was the fool that angered him so? He should know that he was very malicious. If he was to exact revenge, the other party would be better off dead. As such, You XiaoMo’s mind was filled with the ten greatest tortures of the Qing Dynasty. Of course, he had no idea that the fool in question was himself.
Hearing him bring up the assignment, Ling Xiao scoff ed indignantly. “When I act, do you think that there is anything that I can not do?”
“Since the mission was successful, why are you angry?” You XiaoMo asked curiously.
Seeing that he had no idea, Ling Xiao put on a black face. Just when he was about to open his mouth, You XiaoMo suddenly cried out, “Ah, I know.” After exclaiming, he immediately placed two bottles in his hands, “Ling-shixiong, I remembered what your disciple said. These are five days worth of magic pills. I ’ve already refined them. Would you like to count them?”
“You XiaoMo!” Ling Xiao suddenly called his name softly.
“Here!” S tartled , You XiaoMo unconsciously raised his hand, as if giving his commanding officer a salute.
Seeing his sudden strange reaction, Ling Xiao almost lost his straight face. But thinking about the scene he just witnessed at the Hall of Magic Herbs, the flames of anger fired up again. Although in a bad mood, he didn’t reveal it on his face, actually slightly smiling while saying, “Seems you have quite a good relationship with that Fang ChenYue. Laughing stupidly at him. Are you worried that you’re not stupid enough?”
The topic of conversation switched so quickly, You XiaoMo was almost unable to keep up. Hearing him bring up Da Shixiong, he thought nothing of it and said, “Oh, you mean Da Shixiong? We are now disciples under the same shifu , so our relationship is now a little closer. Four days ago, on the day that you left, Kong Wen-shifu called me over and accepted me as his disciple. Da Shixiong is Shifu’s eldest disciple , so we can now be considered as disciples of the same line.”
But what did him smiling at Da Shixiong have to do with his brain? Furthermore, he was also not stupid!
Kong Wen? At once Ling Xiao knew who this Kong Wen was. He was the highest person in charge of Capital Peak. Speaking of which, Fang ChenYue was indeed Kong Wen’s eldest disciple. This bit was stored in Lin Xiao’s memory.
Originally, Lin Xiao and Fang ChenYue did not have contact with each other. It wouldn’t be strange if he didn’t know him , but since Lin Xiao was a man of ambition, he had investigated the outstanding disciples of the three peaks long ago . Although not completely clear about their situations, he still knew a thing or two about them. But, even then…
“Even if you are disciples under same shifu , you should not get too close. Your innate talent is so lacking, Kong Wen must have some ulterior motive in accepting you.”
“Oh.” You XiaoMo answered him dejectedly. Even though he had low innate talent, there was no need to keep reminding him!
“Such a weak answer, did you not have breakfast today?”
“Ah, right.” After speaking, he rubbed his stomach. After not eating for several days from using the Breatharian magic pill, he was really not quite used to this.
