Chapter 2591: Ingrate
Cloud Devouring Beast, who had been laying on its stomach in the room, rose to its feet and patted Feng Jiu on the bed with its paw. “Someone outside is calling you, Master.”
When she heard the noise outside, Feng Jiu awoke, opened her eyes, and yawned as she got out of bed. After placing Cloud Devouring Beast in the space, tidied her clothes and walked out.
Ling Tianyu’s face greeted her as she opened the door. “What are you here for?” she asked, glancing at him with sleepy eyes. She leaned against the door with her arms folded in a languid manner.
Ling Tianyu’s eyes blinked when he saw her beautiful face, which still had her drowsy expression and languid demeanour. For a brief moment, he became foolish and speechless.
Upon observing his master lose his wits after watching a man’s face, Zuo Yi reached out and muttered “Master” while gently tugging his robe.
“What!” Ling Tianyu glared at him with displeasure. As he observed he motion towards Feng Jiu, he gradually regained his composure.
“Ahem!”
He coughed softly and looked at Feng Jiu, who was standing by the door but didn’t seem to invite him in. “I have something to tell you,” he said. With this, he prepared to enter, but Feng Jiu reached out to stop him.
“Speak up here if you have anything to say.”
Ling Tianyu was irritated. “I’ll let you know after I enter!”
Feng Jiu took a step back and reached out to close the door, but, Ling Tianyu hastily extended his hand to block and retorted angrily. “Don’t be ungrateful! I’m here to tell you something! ”
“Go ahead!”
When Ling Tianyu saw her blocking the door, he took a deep breath and said calmly, “I’ve come to tell you that you’re being watched. For an entire day, several cultivators stood guard outside. One of them possesses a strength that even I cannot see.”
He paused and took a glance at her. When he noticed her frown, he said, “Don’t overthink it. I still dislike you, but my father has told me not to bother you anymore. I’m here to inform you that those are not my men, so you don’t suspect me later.”
“Oh? It turns out that they’re not the people you sent!” She nodded with a sudden realisation.
He looked at her with humiliation. “You already know? Did you think I did it?”
Feng Jiu smiled slightly at the corner of her lips as she replied “When I left your manor, I knew I was being followed. I didn’t offend anyone here. Of course, I suspected you first. There’s nothing wrong with that!”
She smiled and said, “But now that I know you didn’t send someone to keep an eye on me, I must consider who else will be after me. Alright, that’s it!”
She slammed the door in Ling Tianyu’s face as soon as she said this.
Ling Tianyu was livid as he stared at the slammed door. He shook his hands, swallowed his rage, exhaled deeply, and swore quietly. “Ingrate!”
Seeing his master turn around and leave in a rage, Zuo Yi hurriedly followed him. Even after rushing around all day, he had no idea what his master was up to. Even if someone was watching Feng Jiu, it was none of his concern!
In the room, Feng Jiu poured herself a glass of water to drink while contemplating Ling Tianyu’s words...
