Chapter 96
Xie Yue's Suspicion, Ning Shu's Indifference
Ah? ? ?
How to prevent developing a "love-obsessed" mentality?
What does that mean?
Xie Yue immediately caught up with Ning Shu, "Ah Shu, wait for me! Being love-struck isn't that bad, is it?"
After catching up with Ning Shu, he slowed down and walked alongside her. "I know what it means to be love-struck, Shu. Don't worry, I'm not."
Ning Shu: "I know you're not, you don't need to emphasize that to me, but I still think you should watch that movie."
"Why?" Xie Yue frowned. Was this a warning to him not to get too love-struck?
Is being a "love-obsessed" person a bad thing in Ning Shu's eyes?
Perhaps?
Xie Yue was somewhat puzzled.
He thinks the romantic characters in the storybooks are all pretty good; they're devoted and at least they won't betray you.
But Ning Shu's original intention was to express that she had no intention of being in a romantic relationship.
She glanced at Xie Yue, smiled, and said, "You'll understand the deeper meaning once you see it."
"Was that movie good?" he asked.
"It's very good," Ning Shu replied. "At least better than today's horror movie."
To be honest, this horror movie wasn't very interesting.
What kind person would actually bring their sweetheart to see this thing?
It's obvious that this was Yan's bad idea.
Noticing that Ning Shu was still upset about the movie they had just watched, Xie Yue apologized, "It was my oversight, Shu. I'll treat you to dinner next time as an apology."
By applying this principle to other situations, I can keep asking Ning Shu out.
If it were before, Ning Shu would have agreed without hesitation, but things are different now. Who knows when she'll have to go to the palace again? So, she thought for a moment and asked, "When is the next time?"
"Huh?" Xie Yue was taken aback.
When will the next one be?
He blinked. "Ah Shu, how long do you want it to last?"
"Of course, the sooner the better," Ning Shu said.
She certainly wouldn't let go of such a good thing as eating and drinking for free.
However, Xie Yue mistakenly thought that Ning Shu was slowly accepting him and wanted to get to know him better. He was overjoyed and quickly said, "How about this weekend?"
"Okay, sure." Ning Shu nodded in agreement.
Weekend, a good day.
The process of the crown prince marrying his principal wife will take quite some time, involving a complicated set of procedures, and will likely take half a year.
However, she will definitely go there earlier, or return to the Seven Treasure Glazed Tile School. In any case, she doesn't have many days left in the Spirit Hall, and she can finally stop being monitored by Bibi Dong.
Just think about it and be happy.
Ning Shu and Xie Yue were each lost in their own thoughts, each happier than the other. The meal and the movie were both worthwhile. When Xie Yue returned to the Spirit Hall, he couldn't hide his joy. Yan saw him and, thinking Xie Yue had come ashore, started gossiping.
"Brother Xieyue! Looks like you're doing well. I wasn't lying to you, was I? Reading more stories is definitely helpful. So, did A-Shu agree to your request?" Yan put his arm around Xieyue's shoulder, put his hands on his hips, and laughed heartily. He couldn't hide his gossipy eyes.
When Yan noticed his joy, Xie Yue quickly suppressed it. He restrained himself and pretended to push Yan away, saying, "What are you saying? Don't talk nonsense. I haven't confessed yet. But Yan, the script you gave me is actually useful, but not very useful. What horror movie? A-Shu isn't scared at all, okay?"
"Pfft—"
"A horror movie??"
"Brother Xieyue, you actually took A-Shu to see a horror movie?!"
Yan laughed unkindly, "No, Brother Xieyue, don't you see the situation? You haven't confessed yet, you two aren't even together, how can you take Ashu to see a horror movie? You should take Ashu to see a romance movie, you should let Ashu see your love, not see ghosts!"
"..."
The evil moon shines brightly.
Oh, I see.
"You're so skilled, you used the same method to woo Nana, right?"
"Well……"
It's fine if we don't mention it, but once we do, it's fine.
Yan then squatted down and started drawing circles.
He said resentfully, "Brother Xieyue, please stop talking. Nana is different from ordinary girls. She doesn't like romance movies or horror movies. To be precise, she doesn't like watching movies at all. She only cares about cultivation. Oh no, now she also has 'A-Shu'. She really likes 'A-Shu'. I'm even jealous. So, Brother Xieyue, can you please win A-Shu over quickly? I don't want to have another female rival."
Xie Yue, sweating profusely, thought, "..."
So that's why he kept encouraging him to pursue Ning Shu.
However, speaking of this, he also felt that Hu Liena was paying a little too much attention to Ning Shu.
But then I thought, isn't that how it should be?
Xie Yue said, "After all, A-Shu is a girl with high talent. It's not surprising that Nana pays special attention to A-Shu because she admires strength."
Yan: "..."
That's heartbreaking.
Isn't this indirectly saying that he's too weak?
If he were also a strong person, would Hu Liena not like him?
Yan became even more resentful.
Xie Yue: "..."
It's best to stay away from this resentful Yan.
Xie Yue shook her head and quickly went back to her room.
He'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight.
My dreams are full of happy things.
Meanwhile, at the Demon-Slaying Hall.
"So you finally decided to come back?"
As soon as Ning Shu entered the courtyard, she heard the demon's displeased voice, which seemed to be filled with a lot of resentment that had been accumulating for a long time.
Ning Shu frowned, puzzled, and asked, "Didn't you tell me to come back?"
If someone hadn't sent her a message saying that her master was looking for her, she wouldn't have planned to come here. After all, although Jiangmo was her master, she was under Bibi Dong's supervision, so she had always lived with Bibi Dong.
"I told you to come back?" Jiangmo frowned. "You mean if I hadn't told you to come back, you wouldn't have?"
"No, if you hadn't called me, I would have come again tomorrow. It's getting late, everyone else has already washed up and gone to bed, so naturally your disciple should wash up and go to bed too," Ning Shu said matter-of-factly, still not understanding what Jiang Mo was angry about.
Even if she took his bed last night, shouldn't he have been angry for a day? It's been a whole morning, a whole afternoon, why is he still angry?
That's so petty!
Ning Shu said, "Master, please tone it down. Your words are written all over your face. Try not to get angry, or you'll get wrinkles."
The demon slayer clenched his fist: "..."
The fist hardened.
If he could really beat Ning Shu, she would have been turned into a meat patty by now.
"Shouldn't you explain what you said to me a few days ago?"
In the end, Jiangmo held back, gritting his teeth, intending to give Ning Shu another chance.
Ning Shu tried, but not quite. "Master, I know it was wrong of me to take your bed last night, but you can't expect me to sleep on the floor, can you? Okay, Master, I sincerely apologize for this. (Private message)"
