Ning Shu chuckled and took the rabbit leg. "Thank you, Master."
Then, she glanced at the cloak she was wearing, and said while gnawing on a rabbit leg, "It belongs to Brother Xieyue. I felt a bit cold when I came back, so he lent me his cloak."
"Cold? Didn't I give you a lot of stoves when you went out? Just put them all on yourself and you won't be cold anymore." Jiangmo said while roasting the other rabbit legs. "Does that kid like you? Why do I always feel like the way he looks at you is a bit off? Oh no, I mean the expression on his face when he talks to you is a bit off."
"You noticed that?" Ning Shu asked, feigning surprise. "I thought it wasn't obvious."
The demon-slaying man rolled his eyes at her. "What do you mean, 'I can see that'? I'm not blind. Do you think I can't tell how that kid treats others and how he treats you?"
"Okay, okay, I see it now. So what if I see it now? His feelings for me might not be the typical feelings a boy has for a girl. Maybe it's just a brother's feelings for his sister." Ning Shu lied through her teeth.
Jiangmo rolled her eyes at her again, "You really think I'm blind, don't you, A-Shu? He likes you, how could it be just a simple brother's affection for his sister? You're thinking way too simply."
"That guy's feelings for you are definitely not innocent, A-Shu. You should stay away from him in the future and not spend too much time together. What if he has ulterior motives towards you?"
"Hidden motives?" Ning Shu tilted her head. "Master, you're thinking too naively about your disciple. Even if he had ulterior motives, it couldn't be him towards me, it could only be me towards him, right? Besides, he's not as outrageous or bad as you make him out to be. He's a decent person, after all. What you're saying is going too far!"
"What's so excessive about it? I'm doing this for your own good. Don't let his wicked appearance fool you; his looks are the embodiment of his wickedness. You should avoid associating with him in the future and extinguish his flames at the source!"
"Pfft." Ning Shu laughed out loud, not being very kind. She waved her hand and said, "Alright, Master, I know what you're thinking. Of course, you can't let other pigs eat the cabbage you raised. I understand what you mean."
"What do you know? I just think you're not ready for a relationship yet. You should focus on your cultivation instead." The Demon Slayer said, revealing his thoughts. He had only taken him in for a short time; how could he let his disciple be so easily lured away by someone else?
He waved his hand, "Alright, now that you're back, finish eating and then come with me to cultivate."
"Aren't these my rest and vacation days? Why do I have to cultivate?" The mention of cultivation made Ning Shu feel that the rabbit leg in her hand was no longer appealing.
She put down the rabbit leg in her hand and looked at the demon-slaying monk, saying, "Master, there has to be a limit to cultivation. I'm not in a hurry to do anything. I'm thinking about what the use of cultivation is. If you have good aptitude, you can cultivate however you want, but if you don't have good aptitude, no matter how much you cultivate, you won't be as good as those with good aptitude who can cultivate even a little bit."
"So what do you mean, the former or the latter?" the demon-slaying demon asked.
Ning Shu chuckled, "Of course I'm the latter. I'm not someone without talent, so Master, we can still take a break."
"You've been resting for so long, do you still need to rest?" the demon-slaying demon asked rhetorically.
I've been away for five or six days now, isn't that enough time to rest?
Ning Shu shook her head. "This wasn't a rest; I just went to take care of another matter. How can that be considered a rest?"
"Nonsense." Jiangmo stuffed the rabbit leg back into Ning Shu's mouth. "Eat yours, and then go cultivate with your master. There's no room for discussion on this."
"No, Master, we still need to discuss this." Ning Shu removed the rabbit leg, wiped the grease from her mouth, and said, "Master, do you want to cultivate with me?"
"."
The demon-slaying demon was taken aback.
What is that?
He frowned at Ning Shu, "What kind of nonsense are you thinking about? This ridiculous dual cultivation? You're the one cultivating, and I'm here to supervise you!"
"Oh, I see." Ning Shu pretended not to know and said innocently, "Ah, Master, I didn't mean anything by it. Since you asked me to cultivate with you, wouldn't it be dual cultivation if we did it together?"
"Heh!" Jiangmo rolled his eyes at Ning Shu again. "Do you want to listen to what you're saying? Or rather, do you want to see if your expression even reflects yourself? You little brat, can't you watch your mouth? You even joke about your master! You have no manners!"
Ning Shu laughed and shrugged helplessly, "Okay, okay, I won't joke with Master anymore. Don't be angry, Master. I'll go cultivate after I finish eating, and I definitely won't let you worry about me."
"You'd better do that."
"Mmm, mmm!"
"."
Meanwhile, after Tang San and his group escaped from Qibao City, they went to Soto City.
The group settled into a hotel in Soto and gathered together.
Tang San missed the chance to speak with Tang Hao. After escaping, he could no longer find Tang Hao, so he was in a bad mood.
It wasn't until this moment that Xiao Wu believed Ning Shu's words. Tang San's father was a Title Douluo and had been secretly protecting Tang San. So he had always known that she was a 100,000-year-old soul beast. Was the reason he hadn't made a move simply because he was waiting for her to selflessly dedicate herself to Tang San?
Was their appearance this time solely to prevent her from falling into Ning Shu's hands?
The more Xiao Wu thought about it, the more horrified she felt. Could it be that her third brother and his father were really the ones coveting her 100,000-year soul ring and soul bone?
"This is absolutely outrageous!"
The more Dai Mubai thought about it, the angrier he became.
Those two people came to avenge Ning Shu. Now that Ning Shu has climbed up to the Spirit Hall, they're in trouble.
Ma Hongjun quickly comforted Dai Mubai, "Brother Dai, it's alright now, we're all fine, thanks to Third Brother's father."
When Tang San's father was mentioned, Dai Mubai's anger gradually subsided. "That's right, Little San, we owe a lot to your father this time. I don't know what your uncle is all about."
"I don't know where he is either," Tang San sighed.
He wanted to find his father more than anyone else; he had so many questions he wanted to ask him.
Seeing Tang San looking worried, Dai Mubai, the older brother, stepped forward and patted him on the shoulder, saying, "It's alright, Xiao San. Your uncle is so powerful, he'll definitely be fine. Don't worry too much."
The powerful figure with that aura is far superior to the scum of the Spirit Hall branch, so there's nothing to worry about.
This is what Dai Mubai truly thinks.
Tang San nodded. "Yes, I know, Boss Dai."
"Alright, we've barely escaped death, how about we go to the Hundred Flowers Garden for some fun?"
