The Legendary Master’s Wife - Chap 88

Chapter 88: Unrealistic thinking

Although Shifu and those few people made him depressed for a bit, You XiaoMo very quickly forgot about it.

After returning to his own room, he became very busy.

Since it was rare for people to come and disturb him at night, You XiaoMo stayed in the dimension until the morning of the next day with his mind at ease. During these short hours, he zealously put everything in order, and at the same time, took stock of the things he needed to buy the next time he went down the mountain.

On top of that, he decided to build a small hut of his own by the lake. Taking that into account, the things he needed to buy were too much. His expenses would be one big sum and with his current assets, what he had was far from enough. So , he had to find some time to bring forward the matter regarding the auction.

The dimension gave him too much of the feeling of being at home. Here , he could openly do whatever he wanted without fear. There was no need to worry that others would find out , and no need to be anxious and afraid. Although there was a wide expanse to be weeded, and he had to painstakingly water the magic herbs everyday, he felt that this type of living was very fulfilling.

There was no need to scheme and n o need to be on guard against others. Everyday there were free – of – charge magic herbs for him to use. It was really too awesome!

Coming out of the dimension, You XiaoMo stretched his body. Looking outside, he saw that the sun had risen. He smacked his lips.

Come to think of it , it had been a long time since he ate some regular rice.

Ever since he refined the Breatharian magic pills, he hadn’t eaten real food. Although he hadn’t been hungry , his taste buds had been unstimulated. It felt strange, sometimes actually making him feel uncomfortable. After all, he lived as a normal person for eighteen years, eating three meals a day was only normal, almost instinctive.

So , not eating for some time, he felt it was very unnatural. Once he was idle, he couldn’t help recalling the feeling of chewing rice grains in his mouth.

You XiaoMo rubbed his stomach and looking outside at the height of the sun, he determined that breakfast time was not yet over. He tidied up the room before heading to the canteen.

The canteen was lively as usual and even though the peak time for breakfast was over, there were quite a few tables occupied. With both male and females present, quite a few of them were indulging in loud and empty talk. But closely following the entrance of You XiaoMo, the lively voices gradually started to quiet down. More and more stares started to fall on You XiaoMo.

You XiaoMo took one look around before lowering his head.

Very long ago, he figured out that he just couldn’t keep a low profile, so he learned to ignore their stares. After scooping out enough food, You XiaoMo carried his tray and sat down at an unoccupied table in a corner. No matter what kind of stares fell on him, however complicated, or filled with admiration, jealousy or hate, he ignored them all.

They all liked to watch , right? Then look all you want. I won’t ask for money.

Maybe feeling that it was boring, everyone finally withdrew their gazes. But the volume of the conversation was a little less than before. From time to time, eyes would still glance over at You XiaoMo.

No matter how one put it, although You XiaoMo was not currently in favor, he was still Kong Wen’s disciple. Based on this, no one would make irresponsible remarks to his face.

You XiaoMo was only too happy for the peace and quiet. Before, when he just became Kong Wen’s disciple, those few Xiongs all looked at him as if seeing a leader, all running up to him to get on his good side. Almost annoying him to death.

You XiaoMo had always disliked the atmosphere in the canteen. Somewhat stifling, especially when he appeared. He hurriedly finished the food on his tray , and was just about to stand up and clean up when a figure suddenly appeared next to him. Not waiting for him to raise his head, that person started speaking. The gentle voice, if it isn’t Da Shixiong Fang ChenYue, who else could it be?

“Xiao Shidi, you let me have a hard time looking for you.”

You XiaoMo laughed, “Da Shixiong, do you need something?”

Fang ChenYue didn’t take it to heart, simply pulling up a chair and sitting down. Looking at You XiaoMo sheepishly, he got straight to the point, “Xiao Shidi, Da Shixiong has wronged you. I didn’t expect that when Shifu called for you yesterday, it is actually with that kind of intention … ”

“Wait wait. Da Shixiong.” You XiaoMo quickly stopped him from blaming himself, saying somewhat helplessly, “I know that Da Shixiong and Second Shixiong had nothing to do with it. I also don’t blame the both of you. I know that Shifu said that for your benefit. What Shifu said is right, it was more beneficial for both of you to go than me.”

“But, this way it is very unfair for you , isn’t it?” Fang ChenYue said in a deep voice.

Although Yun Shui Peak made him very excited, he wasn’t the type that would step on his Xiao Shidi’s back to get ahead. If it really had to be like that, he would rather refuse the opportunity. He also believed that ZiLin was of the same opinion as him.

You XiaoMo saw the slight change in his expression and knew that Da Shixiong was really angry. Having a Da Shixiong who really thought about him, he felt that he was very lucky. So , he felt that if the opportunity really went to Da Shixiong, he definitely wouldn’t be upset.

“Da Shixiong, I heard that it is very hard for mages to go past level four. You and Second Shixiong have stayed as level four mages for a few years. If you get to go to Yun Shui Peak, the chance of a breakthrough would be higher , right? I really want to see the both of you become more powerful. Then Heaven Peak would no longer be able to look down on us , right?” You XiaoMo felt that he was somewhat clumsy with words, unable to come up with strong powerful words to convince Da Shixiong. So he could only use simple words to convey his thoughts.

“Xiao Shidi, you’re too simple minded.” Fang ChenYue sighed.

“What do you mean?” You XiaoMo asked in surprise.

“Did you consider that the one Ye-shishu wants is actually you and not me and Second Shixiong? This matter isn’t as easy as you letting us have the opportunity and so be it. If Ye-shishu doesn’t agree, do you think me and your Second Shixiong will get to go?” Fang ChenYue shook his head, clearly showing that he didn’t know.

” Ah ?” You XiaoMo was stunned. He really didn’t think about this, “But from what Shifu said … ”

Fang ChenYue really wanted to pry open his head and take a look at what’s inside, “You think that whatever Shifu said is law? If it really is like that, Shifu, that old man, would have found a way a long time ago to get me and Second Shixiong sent into Yun Shui peak. That Ye-shishu. Don’t be fooled by his outer amiable appearance. The fact is, regarding the things he doesn’t want to do, even the Grand Master wouldn’t be able to force him to do.”

“Then what is it that Shifu wants?” You XiaoMo asked stupidly. He already couldn’t cope with it.

Speaking of Shifu, Fang ChenYue showed some helplessness, “Most probably Shifu felt that since you managed to get Ye-shishu to like you, if you were to bring it up, it would have more chance of success!”

You XiaoMo was speechless …

He didn’t expect that Shifu , being someone so shrewd, would actually think this way.

It seemed like he really value d Da Shixiong and Second Shixiong. If not, he wouldn’t have come up with this kind of method. If he himself had a shifu that treated him like that … what an unrealistic way of thinking!

“Da Shixiong, no matter how it is, when I go see Ye-shishu, I will still bring it up.” You XiaoMo said firmly.

Fang ChenYue saw his determined face, and having more or less an understanding of his character, he knew that it was no use persuading him. He could only say helplessly, “Xiao Shidi, I know you are doing this for Da Shixiong , but you must still act within your means. You must absolutely not make Ye-shishu angry. Oh right, your Second Shixiong asked me to tell you something.”

“What is it?” You XiaoMo asked curiously.

Fang ChenYue was all smiled, “He said for you to not mind other people’s business.”

You XiaoMo grinned. This Second Shixiong was really an awkward person. A softie with a gruff exterior!

You XiaoMo left the canteen together with Fang ChenYue and everyone in the canteen witnessed it. Quite a few people look at each other in dismay ; they thought that there would be big rift in the relationship between You XiaoMo and Da Shixiong. Looked like there was a big discrepancy between the reality and their imagination. And so, the speculation collapsed of its own.

Three days later, Ling Xiao came to look for You XiaoMo.

Before, Ye-shishu gave You XiaoMo some time to think it over, up to three days.

This time, the reason why Ling Xiao came to see him was because of this matter. Because Ye-shishu asked him to bring You XiaoMo back to see him three days later – but even if he didn’t say so, Ling Xiao would still do it.

As for the matter regarding Kong Wen summoning him, Ling Xiao knew about it , but definitely didn’t plan on bringing it up.

Just like what Fang ChenYue said, if Ye-shishu were someone so easy to convince, all these years, he would have been surrounded with people a long time ago. Why would he wait until now? Those intentions were nothing but wishing the heavens would open. Even if You XiaoMo agreed, one still needed to get past Ye-shishu . So , he wasn’t worried at all.

Ling Xiao didn’t ask. You XiaoMo didn’t believe that he hadn’t heard the rumors. Although he was a little surprised, he still heaved a sigh of relief. Otherwise, if he really had to tell him what he was thinking, he would definitely call him stupid. Why would he go looking for insults?!

On the way, You XiaoMo told Ling Xiao the things he wanted to do the next time he went down the mountain. This time, there were a lot of things he wanted to buy. Other than the building materials for the small hut, he wanted to see if he could buy level four to level six magic herbs.

But this time he needed a large sum of money. So , he needed to arrange the auction before considering these things. But he didn’t know if He Ping town had an auction house and Ling Xiao should know better than him.

“We will soon arrive at Yun Shui Peak. Wait until we return. I’ll tell you then.” Ling Xiao deliberately raised his brows.

“Alright.” You XiaoMo looked at the soon approaching Yun Shui Peak, starting to feel hesitant.

Ling Xiao saw his nervous expression from the corner of his eye and snorted, “Later, you must be cautious in speech and conduct. Your Ye-shishu is not someone with a good temper. If you were to make him angry…”

You XiaoMo made a face. Already at the door and he still wanted to scare him, couldn’t he see that he was already so nervous?
