Becoming the Villainess: I Dominate the Cultivation Realm with My Wok!-Chapter 518

The next day, perhaps due to Lin Qing’s long absence, the Liuyun Sect sent someone over again.

When Chen Muxue arrived at the conference hall once more, she saw a disciple of the Liuyun Sect, arms crossed with a sword and a stalk of cameo grass in his mouth, leaning against the wall with an indifferent and inscrutable look.

Cen Lizhui, worried about Chen Muxue, stepped forward immediately and said coldly, "It’s rather impolite to hold a sword upon meeting, isn’t it?"

The disciple froze for a moment, then stood up straight and scratched his head awkwardly, "Ah... Doesn’t this look cool? I heard from the senior brother that the heroes practicing sword arts outside all pose like this, super cool."

As he spoke, he spat out the cameo grass with a few ’pfft’ sounds.

Chen Muxue recognized this little disciple; she had once made noodles at the Liuyun Sect, and this little disciple had queued for half a day but didn’t get to eat because Lin Qing tricked him and took the noodles away.

"Ahem, it’s fine, quite handsome." Chen Muxue patted his shoulder comfortingly.

The little disciple, hearing this, instantly burst into a shy smile, a hint of blush appearing on his slightly bashful face as he was used to being bullied and not accustomed to being praised; hearing someone acknowledge him made him both shy and happy.

"Hehe, I’ve been standing here for half an hour." The little disciple sounded a bit proud.

"For littering!"

Just after feeling proud, a lump appeared on the little disciple’s head as Lin Qing stormed over angrily, picked up the cameo grass from the ground, and stuffed it back into the little disciple’s hand.

Luckily, it wasn’t shoved back into his mouth; otherwise, Cen Lizhui might have gagged.

"Senior brother! Master asked why you haven’t brought back Miss Chen yet; if you can’t bring her back, send those kids over to Miss Chen... They devoured all five roasted ducks that Master painstakingly stood in line for early in the morning. The vendor only makes three hundred ducks a day, even if Master is there, he doesn’t sell extra!" The little disciple covered his head, feeling extremely aggrieved.

Well, Chen Muxue never thought that the Liuyun Sect would send a second person so urgently for such a reason.

"However, those kids were just hungry and unfamiliar with the place, and happened to burst into Master’s room while he was eating. Seeing the eyes of the three kids, he couldn’t bear to eat alone, so..." The little disciple said with a smug chuckle, "Let him eat sneakily in the room alone!"

"Shh! How dare you talk bad about Master behind his back?" Lin Qing glared at him.

"It’s just you here, senior brother, if you don’t say it, I won’t say it..."

"Oh my, young brother, how can you speak ill of the Sixth Elder behind his back? If I don’t get to eat that roast duck, then..."

The little disciple looked at Chen Muxue in fear, "Miss Chen, you, you... I think you’re quite fine staying here, senior brother, since Miss Chen doesn’t want to go to Liuyun Sect, I’ll head back first!"

"Chen Muxue, look, disciples from Liuyun Sect are unreliable like this. It’s better here at my Immortal Sect; I’ll protect you." Cen Lizhui quietly approached Chen Muxue, speaking softly as his warm breath brushed against her earlobe.

It was the first time Chen Muxue heard someone say "I’ll protect you" like this.

Under Cen Lizhui’s wide sleeves, he tentatively hooked his finger around Chen Muxue’s little finger, yet he was cautious, fearing to frighten her, dared not to move further.

"We’re unreliable?" The little disciple was obviously unconvinced, "Hmph, you’re Cen Lizhui, aren’t you!"
