Seeing that the mob who was crazy finding her all this time just averted their eyes upon seeing them, she was not sure how to react.
It was as if they did not recognize her even just a bit?!
"MEOW"
[Hey! Nice move buddy!]
He can't help but praise Yuan Tao's wise maneuver. Seeing now the unfamiliar and ordinary-looking face of a youth that use to hold Mu Lingxi's dazzling face before, Janus can't help but nod his head again for approval.
When Mu Lingxi noticed the weird gazes that her little black cat was giving her, she can't help but touch her face.
"What did you to me????"
But to her surprise, she heard a husky voice of a man saying the same words that she just uttered.
"What the heck??????"
Again, she heard someone else's voice. She covered her mouth with her both hands as she stared in horror at the giggling guy and cat.
"Oh, it's okay. You can thank me later." Yuan Tao said as he winked at her.
"It's an altering mask. Consider it as a token of appreciation or compensation for all this trouble I brought you. Whatever suit your taste."
He said as he casually takes a bow.
"Is there anything else I can help you with????"
"No this would be enough. Thank you. But how can I have my face back???"
"Hmmm... Simple. Just remove the mask missy. Like, take it off???"
He reckoned as if he was just telling a matter-of-fact.
For the nth time, she turned to her heels and walk away as fast she could. Yet as if unaware of her intention to get rid of him, the guy, Yuan Tao followed her closely behind.
"Missy, are you sure that there is nothing else that you would need my assistance for????"
Mu Lingxi halted her steps and faced him.
"Oh yes, sure! Since you badly wanted to help me. Why don't you bring me to Magus Academia?! That would be a great help. I'll certainly appreciate that."
She said with a straight face. Honestly speaking, she doesn't want to get any help from anyone,
anymore. But this guy kept on getting on her nerves.
So although she knew that her request was getting overboard, she still said so.
"Well, I cannot bring you there... but I know someone who can,.."
Hearing his response, Mu Lingxi can't help but get agitated. She is definitely not expecting this outcome.
"For real?????????"
"For real..."
As he said his affirmation, he gestured them to follow him and they headed back to the market.
"This place was familiar,"
Mu Lingxi can't help but notice. Yet she decided to shut up this time. Not too long later, they were back to the entrance of the same tavern where they ate and stayed last night.
"I personally knew the owner of this tavern, he use to work in Magus Academia before he decided to have his own business."
He casually explained himself to Mu Lingxi and Janus as he handed the receptionist a small bag of gold coins.
On the contrary, the receptionist at the entrance was flabbergasted seeing how the young man just easily handed her a bag of gold coins just like that.
"Beautiful miss, can you ask your master to come and meet me. Tell him that someone with the surname of Yuan was looking for him. Also, please keep the change."
He said amiably to the stupefied receptionist.
When the receptionist took her leave with jolting buttocks, Yuan Tao together with the master and cat duo headed to one of the empty tables.
He excitedly rub his two hands in anticipation as he said the magic word,
"IM HUNGRY!"
Soon, foods after foods of varying delicacies appeared before their eyes.
"Dig in! Don't be shy, my treat."
He said magnanimously as he started digging in.
