The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 42

Chapter 42: Consoling

After Ling Xiao left, You XiaoMo remembered that there was something he had not done. Originally , when he went to the Hall of Magic Herbs, other than handing over the magic pills to Zhao-shishu, he also wanted to apply to go down the mountain with Wu Yan Shixiong.

Each disciple was allowed to go down the mountain twice a month and You XiaoMo had one time left that month. So he planned to use it up the day after tomorrow, because it would be the next month in a few days. If he were to go later, he would get one less chance. Since they were now disciples under the same shifu, Wu Yan Shixiong granted him permission without hesitation.

The next day, You XiaoMo told this to Ling Xiao who had come to look for him.

Hearing that he wanted to go down the mountain, Ling Xiao didn’t ask him what he planned to do. He just beamed at him saying, “What a coincidence, I also want to go down the mountain. We’ll just go down the mountain together tomorrow.”

You XiaoMo really regretted telling him about it, “Didn’t you just come back yesterday? Why would you want to go down again?”

“That was an assignment from the Tian Xin Sect. Every month, the disciples from the Warrior Division will go out for training. As a Da Shixiong, I have to look after them a little. If not , they might get killed off after a day or two. If it wasn’t to avoid attracting suspicion from the Tian Xin Sect, I wouldn’t have gone. But … listening to your tone, could it be that you don’t want to go down the mountain with me?”

Ling Xiao didn’t hesitate to tell You XiaoMo about the assignment. After all, it was not a top secret matter. But getting to the last point, his tone became threatening.

You XiaoMo hurriedly waved his hand, “No, no, you’re thinking too much.”

Ling Xiao suddenly changed the topic to the mage division. “Speaking of which, your Mage Division disciples will also be going for training soon.”

“Ah, oh, I just entered the sect less than a month ago. Outside training is probably not something I have to think about for a while. Instead, there will be an exam in five months. That is rather troublesome. I heard that the passing requirement is refining a level two magic pill. If not, one will be kicked out of the Tian Xin Sect.”

Hearing Ling Xiao bring up the experience training, You XiaoMo recalled the entrance exam. He had now refined over twenty types of level one magic pills but he still had not refined a level two magic pill so he was a little uncertain. However, since there were still five months left, he wasn’t too anxious , but he would occasionally think about how he was now Kong Wen’s disciple. If he were to fail the entrance exam, wouldn’t that cause people to make fun of his shifu and shixiongs?

Hearing his words that lacked confidence, Ling Xiao laughed easily saying, “Xiao Shidi, I think you’re underestimating yourself.”

You XiaoMo was stunned, not understanding the meaning of his words, “What do you mean?”

Ling Xiao crossed his legs, his actions quite elegant, not the least bit affected as if this noble air was part of his nature. No matter which angle, one would feel that this was natural for him. He then lift ed up the teapot on the table and poured a cup of green tea. Since it had just been infused, it was still a little hot.

He took a sip leisurely before speaking, “The [Heavenly Soul Scripture] is a high grade soul training manual . The benefits it gives you can’t be compared to low grade soul training techniques. If you practice it diligently, you won’t need half a year to become a level two mage.”

Actually he would be even stronger than mages of the same level. Of course, he didn’t tell him this.

“Really?” You XiaoMo lit up, especially that pair of gem-like eyes inlaid in his face, sparkling brightly like crystals.

Ling Xiao glanced at his overjoyed expression and immediately looked away calmly, “There is no need to lie to you about this.”

Regardless of whether Ling Xiao was trying to console him, You XiaoMo admitted that his mood was much improved. The pressure he felt inside was much less er than before.

Fine , even though Ling Xiao was very evil, always attacking him, making fun of him, and disrespecting him, he was actually very good to him. Like the last time, knowing that he lacked a soul training technique, he found him one the next day. You XiaoMo didn’t say it but in his heart he was actually very touched. Although it was most probably for the sake of magic pills.

Early the next morning, Ling Xiao came over to look for him , as expected. Except that behind him were two people that You XiaoMo was familiar with but couldn’t wait to get away from.
