Can I call you Brother Xieyue?
Chapter 17 Can I call you Brother Xieyue?
Did he cause the death of his companion?
Ma Hongjun opened his mouth wide. "Rongrong, tell me in detail!"
Human beings are essentially just gossiping, regardless of gender or age.
Oscar chimed in, "Rongrong, what does this mean?"
As expected, apart from Dai Mubai who was still unconscious, everyone else looked at Ning Rongrong, their eyes revealing curiosity about the matter.
Ning Rongrong glanced at each of them, pursed her lips, as if organizing her thoughts.
"Is it hard to say?" Xiao Wu asked.
The others shared the same thought as Xiao Wu, and they looked at Ning Rongrong with puzzlement.
Ning Rongrong frowned and shook her head, saying, "It's not that it's difficult to talk about."
"What is that?" Ma Hongjun pressed.
He seemed very eager.
Seeing this, Ning Rongrong remained silent for a while.
When everyone pressed her for details, she began to regret saying those words.
"Oh dear, Rongrong, what's wrong?" Ma Hongjun asked anxiously.
Why are you keeping him in suspense?
"I... I don't really know." Ning Rongrong lowered her eyes, somewhat guilty, and said, "I only heard it from other disciples in the sect. They said that Ning Shu was expelled from the sect because she acted on her own, which led to the deaths of four of her companions. Moreover, those four victims were direct disciples of the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. Father was very concerned about this matter. At the time, I didn't know exactly why, but Father was very angry that day and then expelled Ning Shu from the sect. If Ning Shu didn't kill them, why did Father insist on expelling her from the sect?"

The crescent moon hung in the night sky, illuminating the entire city of Soto. The bustling city shone even more brightly under the silvery moonlight.
Soto City was as lively as ever that evening. Ning Shu strolled around the streets, wearing a baseball jacket and with her long hair casually draped over her shoulders. Her cool face was expressionless. She ate an apple, walked through the crowd, and finally stopped in front of a blacksmith shop.
Meow~
A cat's meow came from the darkness.
Ning Shu turned her head and suddenly a small white kitten appeared in her line of sight. It was sitting in the corner of the wall, staring at Ning Shu with its big eyes wide open.
Ning Shu looked at it and couldn't help but want to go over and pet it. The white cat tilted its head and didn't show any fear.
Seeing this, Ning Shu cautiously walked over. She knelt down in front of the cat, gently poked its head, and asked, "Did you get lost from your owner?"
Meow~
The white kitten rubbed against Ning Shu's hand, seemingly liking her very much. This behavior clearly indicated that it was a friendly and unguarded aristocratic kitten.
Ning Shu picked it up, rubbed it against her chest, and said, "You've gotten lost from your owner, haven't you? Do you want me to help you find your owner? If you do, meow once; if you don't, meow twice."
Meow~
The white kitten wisely meowed only once.
It seems that it is indeed a domesticated animal.
Ning Shu was holding it, preparing to leave, when suddenly a pleasant young voice rang in her ears: "Xiao Mi?"
Little Mimi?
Before Ning Shu could turn around, the white kitten in her arms jumped out and headed straight for the source of the boy's voice.
Meow~
Following the white kitten's gaze, the person appearing before Ning Shu was about eighteen or nineteen years old, with a slender and well-proportioned figure, delicate features, and a pair of beautiful peach blossom eyes, carrying a touch of allure and unruliness. He wore a silver-white shirt, had red eyes, short silver hair with a strand of hair fading to red at the ends, and red butterfly patterns at the corners of his eyes. He was an exceptionally handsome young man.
"Hello, my name is Xie Yue, this is my pet, its name is Xiaomi, thank you for taking care of it earlier."
The young man walked up to Ning Shu, extended his hand, smiled slightly, and spoke gently, like a ray of warm sunshine shining on Ning Shu, which made Ning Shu involuntarily swoon.
Wow, so handsome!
Ning Shu sighed inwardly, completely ignoring the boy's greeting.
The boy looked at her, slightly taken aback.
Was that the girl in front of me speaking just now?
[What a handsome man! His aristocratic air, outstanding looks, and tall, slender figure are simply my dream man!]
"???"
The boy was stunned once again.
right?
Is it the person in front of me speaking?
Looking at Ning Shu's unopened mouth, the boy's first thought was that he was hallucinating.
Although he didn't know why, his first reaction was to subconsciously shake his head to see if he had been too tired lately and that was why he was hallucinating.
The two had different thoughts. Ning Shu looked at the boy in front of her, and suddenly, the boy's self-introduction echoed in her ears.
Evil moon? !
She suddenly widened her eyes.
Holy crap! It's Evil Moon?!
How can this person be so good-looking!
Ning Shu has always liked handsome men, let alone the handsome men from the Spirit Hall!
She quickly suppressed her infatuation and solemnly extended her hand to shake Xie Yue's. "Hello, my name is Ning Shu, Ning as in Ning Shu, Shu as in Ning Shu!"
"..."
Uh.
Xie Yue pursed his lips, and out of politeness, he still didn't ask which two characters Ning Shu meant.
He shook hands with Ning Shu and was about to pull his hand away when he found that she was holding him tightly, making it impossible for him to withdraw his hand.
"Girl, you..."
Xie Yue looked at Ning Shu with some confusion.
Ning Shu quickly let go of his hand, smiled awkwardly, and said, "I'm sorry, I just finished a Soul Battle competition and haven't recovered yet, so I was a little out of line."
"Oh, I see." Xie Yue nodded, not thinking much of it.
"May I call you Ning Shu?" he asked.
"Sure!" Ning Shu nodded. "You can also call me Xiao Shu or Shu'er. I'm younger than you, so of course you can call me by my full name."
Shu'er?
Xie Yue looked at Ning Shu and smiled gently, "How do you know I'm older than you?"
Ning Shu looked rather mature, while Xie Yue felt that the girl in front of him was probably the same age as him.
"Hehe, I guessed!" Ning Shu laughed.
Her behavior seemed to be different from usual when she was around good-looking people.
Xie Yue didn't suspect anything. "So, how old are you this year?"
"Fourteen years old!"
"Fourteen years old?"
Xie Yue looked Ning Shu up and down. Ning Shu's appearance and figure made her look much older than fourteen.
However, "I am indeed older than you."
Xie Yue said, "But you can call me by my name as well; I don't care about that."
"But I want to call you Brother Xieyue, is that alright?"
Ning Shu blinked and asked.
[Goodness, you've come at just the right time! I can finally stop pretending in front of Dai Mubai!]
"???"
