Chapter 299: The Sect Leader Wakes Up Grumpy Every Day (47)

Yun Niang secretly gave him a glare.

Only then did Wu Er shut up.

Sensing that the atmosphere had become a bit awkward, a few subordinates quickly found excuses to leave.

Shen Mubai, thinking he wanted to eat something she made, felt quite troubled and said, “Um, Sect Master, I don’t know how to make candied hawthorn.”

Jun Jiuling looked at her, his deep eyes brewing an indescribable emotion.

“I want to eat the ones you bought.”

Shen Mubai was taken aback.

“If the Sect Master wants to eat…”

Seeing the displeasure already creeping into his eyes, Shen Mubai swallowed the rest of her words: “Alright.”

The two of them went out in disguise again.

However, no matter how much Jun Jiuling’s face was disguised, along with his imposing aura, he still attracted many admiring glances from women.

As soon as Shen Mubai arrived at the market, she started to let loose. If it weren’t for Jun Jiuling standing beside her, she would have been bouncing around by now.

Jun Jiuling clearly understood this, so when the girl’s eyes started wandering around, he silently grabbed her hand.

By the time Shen Mubai noticed, they had already walked a considerable distance.

Feeling his large hand tightly holding hers, Shen Mubai wanted to break free but didn’t expect him to hold even tighter, looking down at her with his eyes slightly lowered, his domineering and possessive attitude evident.

Shen Mubai, feeling helpless, could only let him hold her hand, but it still felt quite uncomfortable. Thinking about Jun Jiuling’s character, a sense of discord filled her heart.

At this moment, an old man carrying a straw pole filled with candied hawthorn slowly passed by them. Shen Mubai’s attention was instantly drawn, and she actively pulled Jun Jiuling over, quickly calling out, “Wait, old man.”

The old man stopped, smiling. “Miss, would you like to buy some candied hawthorn?”

Shen Mubai nodded. “Two sticks of candied hawthorn, please.”

After saying this, she suddenly realized she didn’t have any money on her, and her face froze for a moment. She turned around and whispered, “Sect Master, do you have any copper coins on you?”

Jun Jiuling would always have his subordinates around him, so how could he bring any silver coins, let alone copper coins? “No. .”

Shen Mubai held her forehead.

The old man, seeing their extraordinary demeanor and appearance but no money on them, was momentarily speechless.

Fortunately, Wu Er, who was watching from the shadows, stepped out and said, “Young Master.”

Shen Mubai breathed a sigh of relief and said to Wu Er, “Chunhua, give us some money.”

Wu Er took out some silver from his pocket and was about to hand it over when it was intercepted by a hand.

“Young Master?” He looked over in confusion.

Jun Jiuling, with his eyes lowered, said to him, “Give it to the madam.”

Shen Mubai, “???”

Wu Er’s expression twitched; his face was conflicted and complex, looking almost comically exaggerated. He placed the coins in Shen Mubai’s hand and said, “Madam.”

Shen Mubai, “…..”

Not daring to think too much about the implications, she quickly paid for the candied hawthorn and took the two sticks.

Jun Jiuling glanced at the candied hawthorn, then said to Wu Er, “You can leave now.”

Wu Er, “…..”

He could feel the thick disdain in the sect master’s words, so he grudgingly melted back into the crowd.

Shen Mubai, pretending to forget everything, handed the candied hawthorn to Jun Jiuling and said, “Eat.”

Jun Jiuling looked at the bright red candied hawthorn, raised it to his mouth, and took a bite. The sweet and sour taste mingled with the memories of last night, but then he thought of something, and a strong wave of jealousy instantly filled his mouth.
