Chapter 289: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (37)

Shen Mubai saw You Yi’s resentful face as soon as she went out.

She was startled. “What’s wrong?”

You Yi felt wronged but couldn’t speak. He just looked at Shen Mubai, his gaze making her shiver.

Coincidentally, Wu Er, who was delivering food, passed by with a big steamed bun in his mouth and explained in his loud voice, “The young master doesn’t allow you to cook for us anymore.”

At first, Shen Mubai didn’t understand who the young master was. But as she saw You Ui’s increasingly resentful expression, she suddenly understood and asked, puzzled, “Why?”

Wu Er, with a mouthful of steamed bun and garlic, smacked his lips and said, “I don’t know. The master’s thoughts are not something we can guess.”

Shen Mubai had no choice but to ignore You Yi’s resentful gaze and go back to her room.

When it was time for lunch, she didn’t know where Jun Jiuling had gone with that man in white.

Shen Mubai wanted to go out for a walk, but considering that her body was now fugitive, she changed into men’s clothing.

After she opened the door, Wu Er, with his tall figure, stood in her way. “Where are you going?”

Shen Mubai blinks. “I want to go out for a walk.”

Wu Er gruffly said, “The young master asked me to watch you.”

Shen Mubai felt frustrated. Even when Jun Jiuling went out, he didn’t forget to keep an eye on her.

Was he afraid something might happen or what?

She didn’t want to just retreat to her room like this.

She rolled her eyes and said, “If the young master wants you to watch me, why don’t you come with me?”

Wu Er glanced at her but didn’t say anything.

Shen Mubai pleaded, “Chunhua, just agree; I’ll be back soon.”

Wu Er’s temple twitched. “Shut up.”

In the end, the two of them still went out of the inn. Shen Mubai wore men’s clothing with some adjustments, making it impossible for anyone to recognize her as the fugitive on the wanted poster.

With Wu Er back in his original attire, he looked nothing like Chunhua anymore, just a tall and sturdy servant.

The city was bustling even in the daytime, with the sun shining high above and the streets crowded with people.

Street vendors were calling out their goods, and everything seemed lively.

Shen Mubai, dressed as a young man, passed by a place where women were waving handkerchiefs and laughing.

“Young master, come up~ Young master~”

Shen Mubai immediately understood that it was the legendary brothel.

She blinked, about to go in, but Wu Er beside her immediately grabbed her with a stern face. “As a young lady, why do you want to go in there?”

Shen Mubai said, “I just want to take a look inside.”

Wu Er snorted. “It’s a place of debauchery. What’s there to see?”

Shen Mubai glanced at the beautiful ladies upstairs, then at Wu Er’s uneasy expression, and smiled mischievously.

“Chunhua, could it be you’ve never been inside?”

Wu Er glared at her, his face turning red, and angrily said, “What would I do inside!”

Shen Mubai, seeing him so innocent, joked, “Could it be that the disciples of your sect need to remain chaste?”

Wu Er, taken aback by her bold words, couldn’t find the right response for a moment.

Shen Mubai teased him a bit more, smiling, “Chunhua, I never expected you to be so pure.”

Wu Er was so frustrated by her that he blurted out, “The young disciples of our sect would never come to such a dirty place.”
