The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 60

Chapter 60: Sharing a Room

Being per sonally picked up by Lin Xiao was an extreme honor to most people. After the news got out, practically everyone wanted to see what that Xiao Shidi who was personally picked up by Lin Xiao looked like.

Lin Xiao was an extremely talented person envied by all. Although he could be insolent and reckless or cold and aloof, it still didn’t change his place in the hearts of other disciples. Especially now that he had changed a little.

Ever since that time he came back from his trip down the mountain, his character had changed. Before, Lin Xiao only had one expression on his face: indifference. No matter if he was concerned about someone or alienating another.

The current Lin Xiao was no longer the same. A warm smile was often found on his handsome face. His voice sounded more pleasing to the ear , and a thread of mischief and wickedness ran through his gentle and unrestrained nature. Bursting with magnetism, one could not deny that, under the allure of his gentle – like – jade voice and smiling face, more and more disciples were captivated by his charm.

It was not as if anyone doubted this change in Lin Xiao. The fact was, the first day Ling Xiao returned to the Tian Xin Sect, he had already caught the attention of a few wily old foxes. When the two of them met, Tang Fan already probed Ling Xiao but he failed to find anything questionable. As for the others, they only found out about the change in ‘Lin Xiao’ later on. The Tian Xin Sect, as a major sect, needed to exercise caution in every respect. So other people also probed Ling Xiao, but just like Tang Fan, they failed to find anything questionable. That was because the current Ling Xiao knew about the various secrets of the Tian Xin Sect , but what they never expected was that it was actually from Lin Xiao’s memory.

Compared to Lin Xiao from before, the current Ling Xiao’s personality was much more likable, so many more disciples wanted to get closer to him. In just one short month, most of the disciples in the Warrior Division had been won over by him. Even those that could not be won over by Lin Xiao were now firmly in Ling Xiao’s camp. The current Ling Xiao’s standing in the Warrior Division was much higher than that of the original Lin Xiao. So, when You XiaoMo and Ling Xiao showed up together, it immediately attracted a large crowd of onlookers.

“Da Shixiong, this is the Xiao Shidi. He looks… not bad, huh!”

” Oh , not bad, it is the type I like.”

“Turned out the person that Da Shixiong personally went to pick up his him, huh. I’ve seen him before. It’s Capital Peak’s outstanding talent Fu ZiLin, the famous poker face?”

You XiaoMo, “…”

Fu ZiLin, “…”

Ling Xiao, “Haha!!”

With all of them talking over each other, it was completely different from what had been said about the Central Lineage disciples, described by outsiders as mysterious and elitist. They were unexpectedly … chatty. It was only that their attention was focused on the wrong target.

Zhou Peng supported his forehead with his hand, “You are all wrong. It’s not him.”

The discussion immediately died down. Then You XiaoMo walked out hesitatingly from behind Fu ZiLin. In an instant, pairs of eyes shot at him like X-rays. Shrinking his neck, he wondered if he could step back from this battlefield.

“What a cute little fella. Not even eighteen, right?”

“Phew, that’s more like it. How can Da Shixiong like a poker face?” Big sighs of relief were heard.

“Looks like Da Shixiong likes the small and weak type. No wonder he didn’t accept his previous pursuers. If I had known, I would not have learned the QingGang sword technique.”

“Gross, it wouldn’t change anything even if you didn’t learn it. Look at your bear-like nature,” said a Shidi in disgust.

“Impudent brat, how dare you speak to your Shijie like that? How am I like a bear?”

You XiaoMo blushed beet red from their words. Ling Xiao liked him? Not possible. Although Ling Xiao did help him out a lot, it was all in exchange for his hard work. On top of that, he had also agreed to many unfair agreements on his part.

Ling Xiao was relatively thick-skinned, seemingly unfazed by their words. After saying a few words, he let them go handle the preparations for the competition. He then took You XiaoMo and Fu ZiLin to their rooms.

The Central Lineage was not the same as the other four lineages , since it was a forbidden place for people that didn’t have business there. So usually, there were no visitors. Due to that, there were no guest rooms, so they would have to cram in and share rooms with others.

But after Ling Xiao explained this, the one with the biggest reaction was actually You XiaoMo.

“You, you, you … you mean, I have to sleep in the same room with you?” You XiaoMo looked at Ling Xiao in disbelief.

“Central Lineage has no guest rooms. All the previous competitions also have multiple people sharing one room. It couldn’t be that your Da Shixiong didn’t tell you about it?” Ling Xiao beamed as he spoke. From the tone of his voice, he seemed to be in a good mood.

You XiaoMo’s mouth hung slightly open. He really didn’t hear anything about this from Da Shixiong. He always thought that everyone would have their own room.

“Where is my room?” Fu ZiLin who hadn’t said a word the whole time finally opened his mouth. He accepted the reality much more readily than You XiaoMo. This was also his first time in the Central Lineage , but his mental toughness was much more resilient than You XiaoMo’s. On top of that, there was his cold – as – ice nature, making it unthinkable that he would bother to squabble about trivial things. That was because there was really only one outcome, and that was to accept it!

Ling Xiao smiled as he pointed to the neighboring room, “Next door is Zhou-shidi’s room. You will have to stay with him for the next few days.”

Fu ZiLin nodded his head indifferently. He then walked right over, pushed the door open and shut it again with a loud sound. The whole process was straight to the point, not the tiniest bit of hesitation, as if he had done it many times before.

You XiaoMo looked at him with eyes wide open and mouth agape. But thinking of his own situation , he simply couldn’t take it. If he had to share a room with someone else, he could still accept it. But the person he had to share a room with was the Ling Xiao that loved to make fun of him. He was such an extremely mean person!

“Ling-shixiong, was this assigned beforehand?” You XiaoMo suspected that Ling Xiao was abusing his power.

Ling Xiao narrowed his eyes as a flash of wickedness seemed to emerge. A devilish hint appeared in his eyes , but he maintained his gentle and amiable smile. A relaxed drawl could be heard, “Do you mean to say that you would rather room with someone else than share a room with me?”

“No, no … ” You XiaoMo’s head shook like a drum-shaped rattle. He felt that his eyes were getting blurry.

“Don’t forget, with the situation you’re in, you can only stay with me. If someone were to find out about the secrets on you, do you think that, other than me, there would be someone else that would help you conceal the secret of your spiritual water dimension? ”

You XiaoMo couldn’t but feel guilty. He really only just thought about this issue.

Ling Xiao was right. He held such a huge secret on his chest. If someone were to discover his secret, it would most probably spell the end of this life. So , he was left with no other choice but to stay together with Ling Xiao.

Seeing his lowered crestfallen face, as he accepted his fate, Ling Xiao gleefully put his arm around his shoulder. He beamed as he said, “Let’s go, Xiao Shidi. I’ll let you take a look at Lin Xiao’s room. Do you know that you are the lucky first one? None of his other Shidis have had the pleasure.”

You XiaoMo pouted. He himself didn’t wish to be the lucky one.
