People are Fighting to Break Their Diaries! They Forced Me to Eat Soft Food

123: Chapter 123 Yun Yun, you can pretend, but not in front of this king.”Cough, cough, cough!”

Hearing Xiao Ting’s words, Yun Yun hadn’t reacted yet, but Xiao Zhan was already deeply shocked.

Back when Yun Yun came to guide their cultivation and teach them cultivation methods and Dou Technique, they had already been shocked quite a bit.

In private, they had discussed it, and the matter was likely related to Xun’er; after all, the latter’s origins were mysterious, and it was highly possible she had the backing of a Dou Zong.

But he didn’t expect that Xiao Ting would actually want Yun Yun to be his personal maid.

”Are you intentionally humiliating me!?” Yun Yun feigned an angry expression.

”Sorry, sorry, I didn’t explain clearly.” Xiao Ting apologized insincerely and explained: ”It’s just that I need to trouble you to pretend to be my personal maid for a period of time; there’s no need to actually serve as a personal maid.”

”Pretend?” Yun Yun had already guessed what Xiao Ting was going to say, but she still asked with confusion in her eyes: ”Why?”

”This isn’t the place to talk, follow me.” Nodding to Xiao Zhan, Xiao Ting turned and walked toward the residential area in the backyard.

With her hands behind her back, Yun Yun immediately followed, wearing an expression that warned strangers to stay away, cold and aloof like a green lotus standing alone in the world.

”Please, sit.”

Xiao Ting brought Yun Yun into the guest room of his small courtyard, invited her to sit on a chair, and took the initiative to brew tea for her.

”Showing courtesy for no reason, you’re either a traitor or a thief.” Looking at the tea Xiao Ting handed over, Yun Yun said with a vigilant gaze: ”You speak first, what exactly is the matter?”

”Look at you, misunderstanding people.” Xiao Ting picked up his teacup and shook his head gently: ”I’m just inviting you to have tea, what does that have to do with being obsequious? You are, after all, a Dou Huang expert and the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect.”

”If I really wanted to be obsequious, I should have immediately asked Cai Li to lift your seal and let you go; that’s when you should be worried.”

”That’s true.” Yun Yun was convinced, reined in her vigilance, picked up the teacup, blew on it gently, and took a small sip.

The tea tasted authentic and left a lingering fragrance on her lips and teeth; as an expert in tea tasting, Yun Yun nodded in approval.

”I didn’t expect that for someone so young, you are a master at brewing tea.”

Xiao Ting didn’t take the credit and smiled: ”It’s mainly because the tea is good; this is Cloud Mist Sect’s Yunling Tea, which only produces one tael every few years.”

Yun Yun: ”...”

She had wondered why the taste was somewhat familiar; it turned out to be her own sect’s specialty tea.

”By the way, do you know who Medusa is?” Xiao Ting suddenly changed the subject, his eyes filled with observation.

Yun Yun’s heart skipped a beat, and she realized she had accidentally revealed a flaw, but fortunately, it wouldn’t be hard to smooth over.

”Is it hard to guess?” Yun Yun replied with a calm expression: ”The person who could lift my seal must be Queen Cai Li, but the name Cai Li doesn’t quite fit her temperament. I remember her original form is a Purple Nether Flame Snake, shouldn’t she be called Ziling or something similar?”

”I gave her that name.” Xiao Ting’s lips curled slightly.

”Why did you choose that name?” Yun Yun was full of confusion.

”Medusa evolved successfully and is no longer a Purple Nether Flame Snake, but a Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, and she possesses the cultivation of a Dou Zong.” Xiao Ting crossed his arms and looked at Yun Yun with great interest: ”She herself likes the name as well.”

”Queen Medusa has broken through!?” Yun Yun stood up abruptly, her expression turning somewhat ugly.

”Yes, now the seal on you will be even harder to remove.” Xiao Ting said, appearing somewhat gleeful.

”Hmph, is this the confidence you have for wanting me to be your personal maid?” Yun Yun clenched her fists: ”I am not a person who fears death; if it weren’t for the Cloud Mist Sect, I would have...”

Swish!

Before Yun Yun could finish her sentence, a seven-colored light flashed from Xiao Ting’s sleeve and appeared before her.

In those purple eyes, Cai Li’s emotions were revealed, as if saying: ”You can pretend, but don’t pretend in front of me.”

”You.” Yun Yun turned to look at Xiao Ting and said coldly: ”Let’s talk about serious business.”

”Little Cai, come back.” Xiao Ting waved at the Seven-Colored Sky Swallowing Python, letting her return to his sleeve.

”Look at you, getting impatient again.” After Little Cai returned, Xiao Ting set down his teacup and said unhurriedly: ”You should have heard that Jia Nan Academy is recruiting in Wutan City, and I have already passed the assessment and am preparing to go to Jia Nan Academy to study.”

”I know about this; you mentioned it when I came to the Xiao Family to take you as a disciple.” Yun Yun’s eyes became complex: ”But what does this have to do with me?”

”I’m going to Jia Nan Academy, and Cai Li is coming too, so there will be no one watching you.” Xiao Ting stared at Yun Yun’s fresh and refined face: ”Although you only have Dou Ling cultivation now, you are, after all, the Sect Master of Yunlan Sect. What if you cause trouble while I’m not there?”

”With Queen Medusa backing you, would I dare to do anything detrimental to you?” Yun Yun retorted.

”What if?” Xiao Ting shrugged: ”I can’t afford to gamble. The best method is for you to also come with me to Jia Nan Academy; with me and Cai Li watching you, there’s no need to worry.”

Yun Yun: Exactly what I wanted.

”Do you think Jia Nan Academy is the Xiao Family, where you can do whatever you want?” Yun Yun said with a playful gaze: ”For so many years, I have never heard of anyone being able to bring a maid to Jia Nan Academy to study.”

”If you have the ability, you could indeed take in a maid within Jia Nan Academy.”

”That’s where you don’t understand.” Xiao Ting shook his head gently, crossing one leg over the other: ”The Outer Academy of Jia Nan Academy indeed doesn’t allow bringing maids, but there are no special requirements in the Inner Academy. It’s just that ordinary students promote from the Outer Academy, and they go there to study, so they don’t bother bringing one.”

”But if it’s a genius who can enter the Inner Academy upon enrollment, there is absolutely no problem with wanting to bring a maid; the Inner Academy won’t place restrictions on such matters.”

”As long as one is a genius, one really can do whatever one wants, and coincidentally, I am that kind of genius.”

Yun Yun was speechless for a moment.

Even though she knew the answer, she was still rendered speechless by Xiao Ting’s thick-skinned attitude.

But his spirited appearance was like a pebble thrown into her heart, which was as calm as the surface of a lake.

”Since that’s the case, why are you asking me?” Yun Yun turned her head away to avoid eye contact with Xiao Ting: ”You’ve already made the decision, can I even go against it?”

”Forcing you to go versus discussing it with you, the feeling is ultimately different.” Xiao Ting stared straight at Yun Yun: ”After all, I don’t want to make an enemy of you, Sect Leader Yun. It was Cai Li who sealed you, it has nothing to do with me.”

”I can even help you suffer less torment and strive for a sliver of hope for you to escape, don’t you think?”

Heh, some sliver of hope; you never intended to let me go in this lifetime.

But it’s exactly what I wanted, so it doesn’t hurt to keep playing along with you.

”What you say is also correct.” The hostility in Yun Yun’s eyes dissipated, and she took a deep breath: ”I understand the matter.”

”No, you don’t.” Xiao Ting held up a finger and shook it: ”Telling you about this matter, I have another intention, which is to have you return to the Cloud Mist Sect.”

”You want to let me return to the sect?” Yun Yun’s beautiful eyes lit up, but she felt a little panicked inside.

Wouldn’t this affect her act?

”The time you spend with me at Jia Nan Academy might not be short, so you have to return to the sect to give some instructions, right?” Xiao Ting said with an appearance of being very considerate: ”Otherwise, if you, the Sect Master, don’t appear for a long time, what would happen if the Cloud Mist Sect falls into chaos?”

”Although it has nothing to do with me if the Cloud Mist Sect falls into chaos, it has to do with you; don’t blame it on Cai Li or me when the time comes.”

”So, I’m giving you a chance to go back and handle it.”

”You shouldn’t have any ulterior motives, right?”
