The next morning, Gege woke up and came out of the room ready to have some breakfast. As she sat on an empty table while giving order for the food, Sheng also entered the area and found her sitting alone. He thought for a second and then asked his disciples to continue their work while he walked towards her.
"I hope you don't mind if I sit here."
Gege looked up and found her senior standing while waiting for a reply from her. She smiled softly and gave a nod while Sheng sat in front of her and ordered tea for himself while the waiter served her breakfast.
She start eating her food while saying anything while Sheng noticed the way she was eating.
"You eat well." He added making her pause for a second not knowing what to reply.
"I remember that you were not fond of eating while we were studying."
He remembered how Wei would take care of her but she always had an arrogant behavior even towards him and this was the reason he never liked her. Everyone respected Second leader wei since he was a student but not her and he would always ignore any disrespect from her with a smile saying that she looks arrogant from outside but inside she was a nice person and now after spending few days with Gege Sheng could feel that the impression he made about her was wrong.
"Senior, try these sweets."
Gege pointed out the plate next to him which had different kinds of sweets.
Sheng also looked at the plate and a smile appeared on his face as he nodded and picked one of it.
"I must pay my gratitude to you for taking care of my disciples."
Gege was fully aware of how better he taught her disciples while she was gone. Even the chubby chan was not chubby anymore and progressed a lot in his fighting skills.
"Let's win this completion." Sheng picked the cup of tea while Gege nodded knowing how important the competition was and also the day after it when she was going to push Yantu from the cliff.
She looked at Sheng and a smile appeared on her face as she could see that she had someone beside her who was going to protect her from the protagonist. May be she was not going to die horribly in the end because in the original novel Sheng was dead while now he was there and she was the one who saved his life. He owe her his life.
At the same time, Yantu entered the inn after feeding the horse and found two young girls standing in the door while looking at someone with shy smiles on their faces.
He passed near them so he could wake her teacher but froze as he heard what they were talking about.
"Oh, they look so cute together. Don't they?"
"Of course, our master is the most handsome master in this world. No one can compete for his handsomeness and third leader is also known for her beauty."
"Third leader?" Yantu confusingly replied gaining attention from the girls who turned their heads towards him and seeing him like this they chuckled.
"Look there." One of them pointed towards both the teachers that were eating together.
"They will make a perfect couple."
Yantu knitted his brows as he looked at the two people talking casually with each other.
"Since I read that book about Second leader and third leader, I thought they will make a perfect couple and I was even shipping for them but I think our master is more perfect for third leader.
Don't you think so?"
One of them asked the other girl who nodded.
"Should we ask the writer to write stories of them?" The second one asked while the first one excitedly nodded not paying attention to Yantu who was standing silently staring at the two people not knowing why he was feeling hurt.
"You two shut your mouth." A stern voice startled the little girls and they blinked as they saw Chan coming towards them.
"Our teacher is not someone ordinary." He warned them to take out any bad ideas from their rotten brains.
"Do you looking down on our master? It seems like you are not aware that he is at level eight stage three. He will soon be at level nine and will be the only one in the whole sect."
One of them scoffed as she did not like the fact that this ugly boy who was often punished by their master was talking back to them.
While Yantu was relieved that someone was also against the idea that those girls were proposing.
"So what. But still he has nothing to compare with second leader Wei."
Yantu silently watched him not sure what he should do now.
"So, you are on team Second leader?" One of the girl was finally able to understand why he was angry as she rubbed her chin while Yantu wanted to know if he was the only one who had no idea what was going on.
Gege finished her breakfast and got up while Sheng was was waiting for her to finish, followed her. It was time for them to continue their journey so they could reach their destination soon.
They walked few steps and then found their disciples into a heated discussion.
Sheng frowned.
"What is going on here?" His voice was cold and calm but it was enough to scare those disciples who quickly became quite and then greeted them before running away.
Gege saw them running away as if they did something wrong and we're trying to hide it now. She shrugged her shoulders and then paid her attention to Yantu.
"Why are you standing here like this? Hurry up. We will leave in few minutes." She told him who nodded and gave a little bow as he walked towards his room while Gege saw him leaving and sighed in her heart before walking out of the inn.
