Chapter 396 - 396: Master, Did You Get Rejected?
When Qing Zhu heard this, he immediately became nervous.” I never had such intentions.”
“You don’t have such intentions, but that doesn’t mean that the other members of Tianji Sect share the same sentiments.” Xiao Yan sat across from Su Qian and calmly responded as he naturally picked up food to serve Su Qian. “My master is very grateful for Young Master Qing Zhu’s care. However, Tianji Sect has aggressively made things difficult for my master this time. With Young Master Qing Zhu caught in the middle. If you side with us, I’m afraid it won’t be good. Therefore, Young Master Qing Zhu, please don’t get too close to my master in the future.”
When Su Qian heard this, she turned to look at Xiao Yan.
This man was speaking to someone else on her behalf again!
Su Qian wanted to pry open this man’s head and see what was in it!
She had already told this man to behave, why didn’t he listen?
Although what Xiao Yan said was indeed what she had in mind, Su Qian felt a little dissatisfied when she realized that Xiao Yan had seen through her thoughts. She raised her leg and kicked Xiao Yan.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Yan was already prepared. With a dodge, Su Qian kicked Yan Chen, who was sitting beside Xiao Yan.
Su Qian’s kick wasn’t gentle, and it hurt so much that Yan Chen frowned.
She thought, “Oh no, I kicked the wrong person.”
The corners of Su Qian’s mouth couldn’t help but twitch, especially when she met Yan Chen’s innocent gaze. She felt even more ashamed and could only give him an apologetic look to comfort him.
Qing Zhu didn’t notice Su Qian’s actions and only sighed faintly. “To be honest, the reason I took care of you all was because I felt that this matter was the fault of our Tianji Sect. However, as a disciple, I’m powerless to stop it. I hope you can forgive me.”
“It’s good that Young Master Qing Zhu has this intention. As for this muddy water, Young Master should withdraw as soon as possible.” As Feng Tianjiao spoke, she picked up some shredded potatoes and fed them to Black Ball which was stuffing itself with food.
When Qing Zhu heard this, he immediately sighed helplessly. Eventually, he withdrew his gaze.
After silently finishing the meal, Su Qian and the others left without asking Qing Zhu to send them off.
Qing Zhu looked at their backs and felt powerless for the first time.
“Master, did you get rejected?” The attendant had heard everything just now. At this moment, he walked to Qing Zhu’s side and asked with a frown.
“Elder Su doesn’t want to owe any favors to our Tianji Sect. Even if I’m just a small disciple, she doesn’t want any connection with me.” Qing Zhu knew that Su Qian’s actions were entirely reasonable, but the thought of being distanced from her left him feeling somewhat uncomfortable.
For some reason, Qing Zhu didn’t understand why he acted this way. He could only take a deep breath. “In the future, we should avoid direct contact with Elder Su and the others. We can simply instruct the kitchen to send their daily meals.”
The attendant nodded in agreement. Then, he raised his hand and scratched his head in puzzlement. “But it’s strange. I wonder when the Sect Master plans to investigate. Elder Su and the others had already stayed here for a few days, and no one dared to ask the Sect Master how he planned to deal with this matter.”
When Qing Zhu heard this, his eyes couldn’t help but light up. Then, he turned his head to look at the attendant. “What you said makes sense.”
When the attendant saw Qing Zhu’s agitated appearance, the muscles at the corner of his lips couldn’t help but twitch.. “Master, you can’t be thinking of asking the Sect Master about this, right?”
