Chapter 502: Different Lingxuzi
"I don't know him, but there's something about him that makes me hate him from the bottom of my heart!"
Ming Jingxing couldn't hide the disgust in his eyes. Bai Yue touched her chin and leaned close to his ear to ask in a low voice.
"Grandpa Ming, who do you usually hate?"
"Who else!"
Ming Jingxing couldn't stop once he started talking, and counted clearly on his fingers.
"That playboy Mo Yingyun can't move his feet when he sees a girl. That stinky old Taoist Yi Nian always has a stern face and pretends to be serious, as if someone owes him money. That lunatic Hua Yixiao is completely out of his mind. And that old brat Fu Wenzhu..."
Bai Yue couldn't help but twitch the corners of her mouth when she heard this string of names.
"So you just plain hate handsome guys, don't you? You're really not disguising your 'looks-obsessed dislike'!"
She was secretly complaining when suddenly a loud shout came from the door of the inn.
"Excuse me, is there a Taoist priest named Ruozhi here?"
"I am!"
When Bai Yue heard that they were looking for her, she immediately stood up, wondering in her heart when so many people knew the name of "Master Ruozhi".
When the stall owner carrying the wonton basket saw the owner, he immediately came over attentively, lifted the lid of the steaming pot, and the fragrance filled the hall.
"Master! These wontons are fresh out of the pot and are still hot! Have as many bowls as you want, free of charge!"
"For me? And for free?"
Bai Yue couldn't help but frown slightly when she heard this.
The stall owner explained with a smile while skillfully scooping wontons into a porcelain bowl.
"A Taoist priest with an immortal demeanor asked me to come! He said he was going to grind tofu pudding and asked you to eat some wontons first so you don't go hungry..."
Before the stall owner could finish his words, another head popped in from the door of the inn.
"Excuse me, is Taoist Master Ruozhi here?"
"I'm here!"
Bai Yue looked at the pile of sesame cakes on the other person's shoulder pole and spoke with a helpless smile.
"Did some immortal-like Taoist priest ask you to bring me some sesame cakes, and then told me to go grind tofu pudding and let me eat the sesame cakes first?"
"Oh! Taoist priest, you are truly a god!"
The man slapped his thigh and shouted excitedly.
"That immortal bought all my pancakes! Take as many as you want, all you can eat!"
As soon as he finished speaking, a timid voice came from the door.
"Excuse me, is there a Taoist priest named Ruozhi here?"
Bai Yue looked up and saw a girl carrying a bamboo basket, her face as red as a ripe peach.
"That's me. Are you here to deliver something too?"
The girl immediately stuffed the basket into her hands, her voice as soft as a mosquito's.
"I, I'm sending flowers for a Taoist priest who seems like an immortal... He said these flowers are particularly beautiful and perfect for you."
After saying that, without waiting for Bai Yue to react, she covered her face and ran away.
Bai Yue looked at the beautiful flowers in the basket and complained wildly in her heart.
"Master! What are you doing? We are all 'men' now, can you please stop doing these sticky things?"
She was just thinking about what to do with the flowers when she turned around and met two gazes.
Ming Jingxing narrowed his eyes, with a look of inquiry as if to say, "Something's wrong with the little girl."
Shen Xingmian covered her mouth and laughed secretly, her eyes clearly saying "I understand, I understand everything".
What's even more terrible is that Ruo Miao came over without knowing when.
"Wow, Senior Brother Ruozhi, the Master is so kind to you!"
Although the other person had a smile on his face, his voice was sinister.
"My senior sister and I followed him out and sent out invitations to the martial arts world for so many days, but we haven't even received a petal."
"Wulin Tie? Could it be a martial arts conference?"
When Shen Xingmian heard this, he couldn't help but become curious.
"Xingmian, if you like, how about I take you to see the excitement?"
When Ming Jingxing heard that his sweetheart was interested, he immediately spoke in a flattering manner.
"Thank you Jingxing, you are so nice to me!"
Just when the two were being affectionate with each other, Bai Yue, who knew Ruomiao's yandere nature very well, walked up to Ruoxu with flowers in her hands.
"Junior Sister Ruoxu, I think this flower suits you better!"
"But... this is a gift from the headmaster to you, brother!"
Ruoxu didn't answer, so Bai Yue quickly tried to persuade him.
"As the saying goes, a sword goes with a hero, and a flower goes with a beauty..."
Before she could finish her words, Ruo Miao interrupted her.
"Brother! You only gave the flowers to Senior Sister. Do you think I'm not pretty enough?"
Ruo Miao's eyes were full of "shyness and resentment", which made Bai Yue's scalp tingle.
"Sister! I'm trying my best to distance myself from Master, why are you still holding on to me?"
She was about to explain when a familiar shout came from the door of the inn.
"Is Daoist Master Ruozhi here? Someone asked me to bring some snacks!"
The next half hour became simply "Lingxuzi's special feeding session".
More than a dozen small vendors took turns selling steamed buns, sweet soup, and candied fruits, making the inn hall look like a small market.
"Da Zhuang, your master is so good to you!"
After the vendors dispersed, Shen Xingmian looked at Bai Yue and joked with a smile.
Bai Yue laughed dryly twice and continued to talk.
"Haha, after all, I'm Master's only disciple, so he'll naturally take good care of me..."
Before he could finish his words, familiar footsteps suddenly sounded at the door of the inn.
Everyone looked up and saw Lingxuzi walking in carrying an exquisite food box, his clothes fluttering and his temperament extraordinary.
"Headmaster!"
Ruoxu, Ruomiao and Ruochi immediately stood up and bowed with one hand in a respectful manner.
But Lingxuzi didn't even raise his eyelids, and walked straight to Bai Yue before stopping.
"Master?"
Looking at the man in front of her, Bai Yue suddenly had an indescribable feeling.
Although the other person looked like Lingxuzi, there was an inexplicable familiarity in his eyes.
"The tofu pudding is still hot, try it now!"
Lingxuzi opened the food box, carefully brought out a bowl of tofu pudding, and considerately picked up the spoon and handed it to her mouth.
"Thank you, Master. I can do it myself!"
Bai Yue quickly reached out to take the spoon, but the other party held on to it tightly, staring at her with a stubborn persistence.
"Something's wrong! It's so wrong! Hey, Xiao 1, is this person in front of me really Lingxuzi?"
Bai Yue's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly called out to Xiao 1 in her mind.
"The person in front of you is of course the male protagonist!"
The system's electronic voice sounded a bit disgusted, and an emoticon package saying "Are you stupid?" popped up in front of Bai Yue's eyes.
"Also, let me remind you that your favorability with him has reached 100! Don't bother this system watching the show unless necessary!"
"What? 100?"
Bai Yue smacked her lips in disbelief.
"I remember it was negative at first! How come it's full all of a sudden?"
"When you jumped off the cliff, your favorability rating skyrocketed. This system even specifically notified you, but you didn't listen!"
Xiao 1's voice was full of helplessness.
"The situation was so chaotic at the time, I thought you were cursing..."
Bai Yue shrugged and muttered to herself.
"But I just jumped off a cliff, how come my favorability rating is full? Did they think it was a heroic act and were moved by it?"
She was still confused and pondering when she suddenly heard Lingxuzi's voice with a bit of trepidation in her ears.
"Why don't you eat it? Don't you like the taste, or... do you still hate me?"
