Chapter 24 - Little liar

Ling Fengxiao raised an eyebrow: “What are you talking about?”

“That thing!” Xiao Lingyang looked at Lin Shu and Ling Fengxiao again, his eyes widened and anxious, a sort of “my sister is going to take drugs” kind of hopping anxiety.

“Well, that’s not a bad idea,” Ling Fengxiao glanced at Lin Shu.

A pair of beautiful eyes, glistening black and white, clear waves and lingering light. It was especially soul-stirring, as if it didn’t belong to someone real.

Xiao Lingyang said: “What a scandal!”

Ling Fengxiao said: “It doesn’t concern you.”

Xiao Lingyan: “You don’t know what’s important and what isn’t!”

Ling Fengxiao: “And you know?”

Lin Shu listened to the two of them arguing and tried to slip away, but he was caught by Ling Fengxiao. She turned to glare at by Xiao Lingyang. “It’s Please watch yourself.”

–Then she took Lin Shu and went away.

Xiao Lingyang: “You...!”

Ling Fengxiao ignored him.

Xiao Lingyang’s anger quickly escalated: “Lin Shu, you better stop right there!”

This man was strong outside but weak inside, surly outside but panicky on the inside. He was obviously quarreling with his sister, but didn’t say “Ling Fengxiao, you better stop right there” and called for Lin Shu instead, clearly showing how he only bullied the weak and feared the strong.

Lin Shu walked with the Big Miss across Baiyu Bridge, side by side, terror in his heart.

He didn’t know what to say, and Ling Fengxiao didn’t speak. They just walked forward slowly, and the atmosphere was very awkward for a while.

Ling Fengxiao’s body had some sort of faint orchid scent, and it was a nice smell.

After getting off the bridge, they came to Qionghua Forest, and the flowers were falling like snow. Many disciples stopped by to play, but stopped when Lin Shu and the Big Miss entered, and looked at them curiously.

If you think about it, it was a rare thing that the Big Miss would walk alone with an unknown disciple.

Lin Shu was thinking.

Should he ask Ling Fengxiao why she insisted on following him? Was it to observe him?

&#k2013;Big Miss, why are you following me?

&#k2013;Big Miss, is there something wrong with my body?

After hesitating for a long while, he finally sucked up the courage and opened his mouth: “Ling&#k2026;”

At the next moment, there was a whirlwind in the air, and the falling flowers suddenly rustled, and there was a glint of blade as white as snow.

Something flashed before Lin Shu’s eyes, and a sharp blade pointed at his neck.

Intuition let Lin Shu know how to avoid it, but his body made him too late to react.

He could only stand on the spot and watch Ling Fengxiao draw her knife and aim it at him with a blank expression. The corners of her eyes were incredibly sharp.

According to the movement of the blade, the blade will accurately chop off his neck.

Lin Shu blinked in a daze, motionless–he couldn’t move even if he wanted to.

–Rebirth once, this life was so unclearly explained here, and the Big Miss’s thoughts were too unpredictable.

As he thought this, the wind stopped sharply, and the blade stood near his neck, a trace of coolness infiltrating into his skin.

He saw Ling Fengxiao spit blood at the moment she stopped the blade.

After letting the bow go, there was no arrow that would return, and unleashing a blade was the same. The tremendous wind and thunder of the blade, if it was withdrawn halfway, the user had to suffer internal injury.

Ling Fengxiao wiped the blood from her lips casually and said: “Do you really have no martial arts?”

Lin Shu: “Really.”

Having said this, this person clearly still suspected him of being a criminal who was attempting something, but dared to use the method of “kill a thousand enemies, loss eight hundred of my own” to test his martial arts.

Ling Fengxiao retrieved her blade and said: “Mr Meng will never put an untalented person into the academy. Pretending so well to be an untalented person, you are definitely not an ordinary person.”

Lin Shu said honestly: “I am an ordinary person.”

Ling Fengxiao laughed.

This person suddenly drew a knife to kill someone, then in the next moment acted so friendly, it made Lin Shu suffer from whiplash.

He asked: “... Are you okay?”

When the knife stopped that time, internal injuries must definitely have occurred, and Ling Fengxiao also vomited blood.

Ling Fengxiao made an agreeing noise, took out a small jade bottle and ate a medicinal pill. It had an immediate effect, and her pale face looked better.

He really was an ordinary person, but the medicine that the Big Miss carried around with her was not an ordinary medicine.

It must be nice to have money.

“The meridians don’t work, and you don’t know any martial arts.” Ling Fengxiao frowned after finishing the medicine, and seemed a little dissatisfied. “What’s the matter with you?”

Okay, it turned out that lighting up the furnace required a bit of martial arts.

Lin Shu felt like he had been discarded.

His meridians weren’t working, he didn’t have any martial arts; he was also disappointed about that.

He could only say: “That is how it is.”

Ling Fengxiao still had a disbelieving look and asked: “Your master didn’t teach you?”

Lin Shu: “No.”

Ling Fengxiao: “So you had a Master.”

Lin Shu: “!”

A fool in a small village also had a master, hearing it like this, it sounded like a problem.

Had he fallen into a trap?

He clearly realised the fact that his brain really wasn’t nimble.

At least when faced with unpredictable people like the Big Miss, it was better not to speak.

However, once he did not speak, he would make Ling Fengxiao unhappy.

He could only listen to this person say coldly: “Either don’t talk, or contradict yourself; do you have the truth in your mouth? Hm?”

Lin Shu continued to be as quiet as a chicken and only blinked innocently.

Ling Fengxiao looked at him, as if smiling but not smiling at the same time: “...little liar.”

Having said that, she turned and went on.

Lin Shu quietly kept up, quietly reached the door of Chengyuan Temple, quietly went in and quietly sat down.

Ling Fengxiao: “I’ll be leaving now.”

Lin Shu: “...En.”

What?

What was the Big Miss doing?

It was seriously puzzling.

Lin Shu couldn’t find any logic in Ling Fengxiao, and not only was Ling Fengxiao strange, but his classmates were now very strange.

When he first arrived at the academy, just because the Big Miss said “what a coincidence”, the brethren of the Immortal Daoist Institution changed their attitude towards him. Now, the Big Miss personally sent himself to class–the gaze of his fellow classmates that he received didn’t feel quite right.

The most bizarre thing happened in the evening.

After finishing class, he was going out but was blocked by Xiao Lingyang.

“You.” Xiao Lingyang looked him up and down, and proudly raised his chin. “I don’t care what you did to entrance Ling Fengxiao, but stay away in the future, or else...”

He made a cutting motion at his neck, and continued: “For the people of Phoenix Villa, this is no small matter, and men outside cannot easily mix in. In order for you to not covet Ling Fengxiao anymore, I will give you whatever you want. Do you want money, or secret techniques, or women? I can even send you to Huandang Mountain for enlightenment qualifications, you Immortal Daoists have always liked this.”

I don’t want it.

I just want you, and your strange species, to be far away from me.

Who was the one arguing with Ling Fengxiao today? Why are you suddenly protecting her like she’s the pearl of your eye?

Ling Fengxiao’s brain is filled with water, making it difficult for me to pass through. I haven’t done anything.

Besides, give me ten guts, and I wouldn’t even have enough guts to go and covet the Big Miss.

What had happened in the past two days had gone far beyond Lin Shu’s cognitive scope.

He was like a salted fish tanning his belly on the beach, suddenly involved in the dispute of the underwater world.
