The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 43
Chapter 43: Miscalculation
Walking in front was a young woman dressed in a set of pink clothes ; her beauty and elegance was clear from afar. With smooth and glossy skin, an oval face like a goose egg, paired with a pair of large and beautiful eyes. Along with gentle curves, she was simply a beauty that moved people, an unrivaled beauty through and through. If her character was also as delightful as her outward appearance, she would definitely be a well-loved Mary Sue .
It was a pity that her character was completely unlike that of her outward appearance. As pretty as she was, she was also somewhat crafty and wilful, ordering everyone around with just a tilt of her chin. This beautiful young woman was none other than Tang YunQi, the daughter of the Tian Xin Sect’s Grand Master. She was also the most beautiful woman in the Tian Xin Sect. It was said that when she turned eighteen, quite a few people came forward to ask for her hand , but Tang YunQi found none of them to her liking , as her heart was obviously fixed on Lin Xiao.
This bit was known by everyone in the Tian Xin Sect, even You XiaoMo , who had only met her two or three times could tell. It only proved how clearly she showed it.
The other person was the disciple who had been squeezed out onto another winged-bird when You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao sat on the same one the last time. This person had always looked at You XiaoMo with hatred ever since the first time they had met, as if he couldn’t wait to peel off his skin. He was clearly still brooding over what happened before.
Seeing You XiaoMo looking at those two, Ling Xiao remembered that those two were behind him. Without waiting for You XiaoMo to ask, he simply explained, ” Tang-shimei and Li-shidi also happen to be on their way down the mountain. Knowing that I , too , will be going down the mountain, the Grand Master asked me to bring them with me, so that I can also keep an eye on them.”
The corner of Ling Xiao’s mouth started to curve upward upon mentioning the last bit. Looked like he seemed to be in a good mood. You XiaoMo noticed this act but his instinct told him that Ling Xiao was not in a good mood , so it was better not to provoke him.
Speaking of which, the other day he had just used this excuse and now, someone else used this excuse on him, what more , it was a personal request of the Grand Master. There was simply no way to refuse. It would only be strange if he was in a good mood.
Tang YunQi obviously did not expect that the person going down together with Ling Xiao would be You XiaoMo. Upon seeing him, she asked bluntly, “Why is it you again?”
Well wasn’t that just how it was? He also didn’t wish to see her. It was just that sometimes fate was just like shit. The more one didn’t want to see that person, the more likely it was that that person would appear in front of them.
You XiaoMo smiled awkwardly, not giving her an answer.
Tang YunQi disliked this disciple that had just entered the sect not too long ago. If not because of him, she wouldn’t have lost face in front of so many people the last time. If it wasn’t that they were in different peaks, she would have tormented him to death a long time ago.
Since it was only four of them this time, they simply chose a winged-bird that could seat five. Unexpectedly, Tang YunQi objected. She was used to sitting on the big winged-birds so she felt that sitting on a small bird was beneath her.
Just a casual remark from Ling Xiao shut her up. “Since you don’t want to sit on this winged-bird, you can just sit on another one with Chen -shidi.”
You XiaoMo looked at Tang YunQi with both sympathy and glee. Still daring to provoke him at this crucial moment. This Tang-shimei was really brave!
Tang YunQi was worried that Da Shixiong would really chase her off onto another winged-bird so she hastily denied, “There’s no need for that , Da Shixiong. Really… taking a small winged-bird was actually good , so, don’t chase me off to another bird . ” Actually she wanted to sat on the large bird in order to separate You XiaoMo from Ling Xiao. What she didn’t expect was that the latter would instead chase them off.
“No no no, I should thank you for reminding me. Four people on a Winged Bird is too crowded. If something were to happen on the way and someone were to fall off, what would we do? So, I have decided that you should sat on another Winged Bird with Chen- Shidi . A little more space is better.” Ling Xiao beamed while saying.
“Da Shixiong.” Tang YunQi stamped her feet. Her anger distorted her mouth, but she still looked pretty.
“Chen-shidi, for this trip, I have to trouble you to take good care of shimei.” Ling Xiao didn’t care if he agreed. He dictatorially ordered Chen-shidi who was showing some signs of delight.
For Tang YunQi, of course she didn’t want to be separated from Ling Xiao. But for Chen-shidi, he actually couldn’t wait to share the same space with shimei. Therefore, Ling Xiao’s suggestion gave him a huge opportunity. He just didn’t let it show on his face.
In the end, Tang YunQi was still unable to change Ling Xiao’s decision. She and Chen-shidi were chased onto another Winged Bird. The latter very happy although his face only showed signs of fury.
On the winged-bird, You XiaoMo secretly looked back at Tang YunQi, whose face was distorted in anger. He then looked back at Ling Xiao , who was mightily pleased with himself, with a face like the spring breeze. Pouting, he was certain that Ling Xiao didn’t think of this in the beginning. If Tang YunQi didn’t give him the inspiration, they would probably all be on the same winged-bird at this time. This was what they called being a victim of one’s own brilliance.
Mary Sue: the term “Mary Sue” is generally slapped on a character who is important in the story, possesses unusual physical traits, and has an irrelevantly over-skilled or over-idealized nature.
