Chapter 290: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (38)

Shen Mubai said meaningfully, “Oh~”

Wu Er stared at her with his copper-bell-like eyes. “Don’t you believe it?”

Shen Mubai nodded.

Seeing her retract her steps towards the brothel, Wu Er couldn’t help but snort coldly. “I don’t know what the master is thinking, insisting on bringing such a burden like you.”

The implication was that she was useless.

Shen Mubai said nothing.

The more Wu Er looked at her, the more displeased he felt.

Finding fault in everything, he grunted, “The master will never take a liking to you. It’s better for you to think less of it.”

Shen Mubai remained silent.

She hadn’t said anything yet.

Upstairs, the beauties noticed the two young masters had been lingering below. One of them, a charming and flirtatious woman, tossed a handkerchief that landed on Wu Er’s shoulder.

Seeing him looking puzzled, she smiled alluringly and said, “Sir, come up and play.”

Wu Er’s face turned livid, and he quickly pulled Shen Mubai away.

As they walked along the road, people came and went, the cries of vendors continued, and the scent of food lingered in the air.

Shen Mubai found everything quite fresh along the way, looking around curiously. Pedestrians noticed the intimidating figure trailing behind her and made way.

Passing by a wonton stall, Shen Mubai stopped in her tracks at the enticing aroma.

She turned back, blinking.

“Wu Er, do you have any money?”

…

Wu Er felt the master was truly enchanted. Just a few days ago, he had been impatient with this girl, but now, not only did he have her follow him around all day, he even brought her to meetings with the elders.

Even this trip down the mountain was like this.

Although he had thick skin, Wu Er still sensed the change in their master. For example, before they left today, the master specifically instructed him to keep an eye on this girl.

Although he thought this girl was only good at cooking, Wu Er didn’t dare to neglect the master’s orders.

Although he complained, he obediently followed behind Shen Mubai, paying for everything along the way.

Rubbing her stomach, Shen Mubai couldn’t help but exclaim, “It’s so delicious; it was worth coming to this world.”

Wu Er glared at her. “It’s getting late; we should go back.”

Seeing that it was getting late, Shen Mubai nodded.

However, on the way back, she saw an old man selling candied fruit and couldn’t help but think of another person with a similar temperament, Jun Jiuling. So she bought three sticks.

She bit into the sweet candied fruit and handed one stick to Wu Er.

“Chunhua, have some candied fruit.”

Wu Er stared at the stick of candied fruit. “This is something kids eat.”

Shen Mubai said, “Oh, you don’t want it? Then give it to me.”

Wu Er snorted. “Who says I don’t want it.”

The candied fruit in his mouth was sweet and sour.

Shen Mubai heard his words and smiled.

At that moment, a young man in black clothes in the distance stared straight at them.

Wu Er became alert, looked around, and then calmly whispered, “Someone’s watching us over there.”

Shen Mubai, nervous, asked, “What should we do?”

Wu Er sneered disdainfully, “Just a yellow-haired boy. Stick close to me; I’ll find a way to shake him off.”

(T/N: young and immature/lack of experience)

Shen Mubai nodded.

Although Wu Er was tall and strong, in terms of martial arts, he was one of the best in the martial world.

Even with Shen Mubai, who had no skills, he quickly shook off the pursuer.
