It was as if she had done something wrong, though, in reality, her intentions weren't mistaken; the only fault lay in her insufficient strength, which left her unable to defeat her opponent and caused them to remain unconvinced!
Almost every time they fought, it ended in a draw!
"There's one more thing I need to clarify, once again, that the relationship between my master and me is purely professional, not what you all imagine it to be. I hope, Uncle Chrysanthemum, you won't misunderstand us anymore because it could lead to unnecessary trouble."
Zhu Zhuqing spoke up at this moment.
Her tone could be felt to be very low.
Like a child who had made a mistake!
"Oh, it seems I misunderstood you two, here I was thinking Little Fengfeng had found a second one!!"
A second one!!
"Aiya! Sister Zhuqing, don't be too nervous, I was just joking, no need to take it seriously,"
"If you really did have something secretive going on, I wouldn't blab about it; I could keep it a secret, right? It's just that later it might be tricky to explain to the other party. I'm afraid they'd be hurt, and I wouldn't know how to comfort them."
Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
He meant to press Ye Feng and the others to speak up.
They had nothing to hide.
"Uncle Chrysanthemum, what do you mean by that? It looks like you still don't believe Zhu Zhuqing and I aren't having an inappropriate relationship,"
"Furthermore, we have nothing to hide from you. Stop making a fuss about nothing. You're making up something that isn't true, making it seem real."
Ye Feng said with a cold demeanor.
"Hiss Hiss—!"
The Bloodthirsty Demon Scythe Martial Spirit appeared before their eyes.
At the sight of that black scythe, the atmosphere became tense!!
Was Ye Feng gearing up for another fight?!
They hadn't fought enough already!!
"What are you trying to do, Ye Feng? I was only making a lighthearted joke, don't take it to heart,"
So the old man was a real piece of work too, so bold to be joking about such matters.
It was like he didn't want to live anymore!
Fortunately, he realized the seriousness of the matter, which indeed should not be spoken of carelessly, otherwise explaining it away later would become increasingly difficult.
Especially for Xue'er, if she were to misunderstand, who knows what kind of trouble Ye Feng would encounter!
Xue'er wouldn't let him off easily either!!
"You want to attack me again? Wasn't the beating just now enough? I'm short on time today and can't afford another fight with you; I need to get back early. If I return any later, they'll start suspecting, as being out for a walk too long looks suspicious."
Chrysanthemum Douluo spoke with a smile.
Trying to slip away!!
So this old guy used the excuse of going for a walk to show up right at the doorstep of the Xingluo Empire.
Who would believe his words?
"Uncle Chrysanthemum, aren't you going to stay for a cup of tea before hurrying back? Could you stay for a cup of tea before you leave?"
Zhu Zhuqing said at that moment.
She was trying to hold back Chrysanthemum Douluo.
It was customary to invite guests to drink tea in their house if they came to the backyard; they had previously agreed to have tea in Zhuqing's house after their master finished sparring.
It would also allow for a good conversation in the house.
"Haha, Sister Zhuqing, thank you for the kind offer, I appreciate it, but I must hurry back now. I'll visit when I have more time."
Although there were frictions between Martial Soul Hall and the Xingluo Empire, Chrysanthemum Douluo's personal relationship with the Xingluo Empire was still manageable and didn't involve the Empire.
That's why he wanted to return as soon as possible; if outsiders discovered his connection with the Xingluo Empire, it would be difficult to explain once he got back!!
"That's fine then, Uncle Chrysanthemum, do make sure to visit our Empire when you have time for a cup of tea,"
Zhu Zhuqing said to Chrysanthemum Douluo,
"If it weren't for Ye Feng's sake, just considering the situation plainly, even if I were passing through the Xingluo Empire, I wouldn't possibly pay a visit!"
"Uncle Chrysanthemum, are you really going back? Don't you want to have another spar with me? I've noticed your soul power isn't very strong; could it be that you're getting old and not up to par anymore?"
At that moment, Ye Feng said with a mischievous smile.
"You little brat, those words of yours aren't very pleasant to hear!"
"Are you saying this just because you can't beat me? If you really think my soul power isn't up to the task, we can have another match."
"Just because of what you said, I'll make sure to beat you until you cry today,"
Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
Suddenly, the atmosphere became tense.
Without another word, Ye Feng immediately released his soul power.
Old Chrysanthemum, you're not escaping today!
Still thinking about going back? I guess you won't be able to return!
Ye Feng secretly delighted in his heart.
"Come on! Ye Feng, bring out your full strength. I'm not the least bit afraid of you,"
Chrysanthemum Douluo said.
"Hiss—!"
Soul power surged to its limit.
Zhu Zhuqing stared at them with a dumbfounded expression.
These two are fighting again!
Didn't Uncle Chrysanthemum just say he was in a hurry to go back?
Why is he still fighting with Master?
Zhu Zhuqing muttered to herself.
On the other side, Tang San.
He and his father had reached the base of a large tree!!
"Xiaosan, you don't know. Your mother was not only beautiful but most importantly, she exuded a refreshing aura. She was a pure fairy, without a trace of impurity. Even though it was my first time seeing her, my heart was thoroughly captivated by her."
"Originally, I wanted to curb the arrogance of the Hao Tian Twin Stars, but to my surprise, the mere Blue Silver Grass turned out to be so powerful. It was really unexpected."
"Afterward, we became sworn siblings. Ah Yin was the youngest among us, ranked third. We used to call her Ah Yin or Little Lan, and so your name also came from there."
"The important part is, I and your big brother both fell for Ah Yin at the same time, but in the end, helplessly, your big brother stepped aside for us to be together,"
Tang Hao said.
So both brothers had fallen for Ah Yin at the same time. With Ah Yin being so ethereal, it was normal for someone to fall for her.
Tang Hao's brother had also fallen for Ah Yin, but Ah Yin didn't reciprocate his feelings.
This made brother very sad!
But fortunately, he didn't create any obstacles!
And he blessed their union!
"When I was returning to the sect, Ah Yin found me and confessed that she also liked me, telling me her Martial Soul was the Bluesilver Emperor."
"But my love for Ah Yin diluted everything else; what did it matter if she was a hundred-thousand-year soul beast? Once she reached maturity, she would become human. Although it would take a long time, I could wait."
"But I was afraid of hurting my big brother and did not accept her feelings; I directly refused."
"Ah Yin was heartbroken after knowing this, but with my big brother's help, Ah Yin and I got together."
"I thought we could be happy forever, but when we were returning to the sect, the people from the Martial Soul Hall discovered Ah Yin's identity and chased her relentlessly!"
