The Destiny Villainess Wants Me To Work!

Chapter 285: Lunch Invitation!

The one who was most shocked by this revelation was naturally Shen Xing, who had been standing beside Yang Qingxi the entire time.

Her eyes widened as she pointed at herself, then at Yang Qingxi.

"Sister Qingxi and I are relatives?"

The realization clearly caught her completely off guard.

Yang Qingxi looked at her stunned expression and couldn’t help chuckling.

"Yes, Aunty Xing."

Shen Xing’s face immediately turned red.

It was a mixture of embarrassment, disbelief, and mock anger.

"Don’t call me that, Sister Qingxi."

Yang Qingxi smiled innocently.

"Fine, fine. I won’t tease my aunt anymore."

Shen Xing opened her mouth, only to realize she had no way to argue against a blood relationship.

Seeing her expression, even Song Meilin had to suppress a smile.

Meanwhile, Su Mo had already walked over after finishing the spar.

He happened to hear Yang Qingxi introducing him as a friend.

A trace of disappointment flashed across his face, though he quickly concealed it.

After all, Yang Qingxi wasn’t wrong.

At present, they really were just friends.

He couldn’t exactly stand up and argue otherwise.

Unfortunately for him, Yang Qingxi noticed the subtle change in his expression.

’Hmph.’

Her lips curved ever so slightly.

’Why hasn’t our relationship progressed? Isn’t the blame entirely on you?’

While everyone was chatting, Yang Qingxi silently criticized him in her heart.

’You spend all day thinking about strange things and fantasizing about that ridiculous harem of yours. If you keep dreaming about collecting them all, you’ll end up with none.’

The more she thought about it, the more justified she felt.

Meanwhile, Su Mo suddenly felt a chill for no apparent reason.

He looked around in confusion.

Nothing seemed wrong.

So strange.

On the other side, Shen Kai had entered a nostalgic mood.

Looking at Yang Qingxi, he seemed to see traces of Shen Qingyun from years ago.

A smile gradually appeared on his face.

"The last time I saw Qingyun, she was still a little girl running around causing trouble. Now her daughter has grown up, and even her daughter’s boyfriend is a Golden Core genius."

"Just a friend," Yang Qingxi corrected immediately.

"Yeah, yeah."

Shen Kai waved his hand dismissively.

"It’s all the same."

Yang Qingxi’s eyelid twitched.

How was that the same?

Before she could argue, Shen Kai continued cheerfully.

"Since I’ve met my family members after so many years, you two must stay for a meal. Come with me. I’ll personally cook."

Su Mo blinked.

"Um... we just had breakfast."

Shen Kai paused.

For several seconds, nobody spoke.

Then he nodded seriously.

"Fine, then we shall have lunch together."

Su Mo looked him up and down. From head to toe. Then he asked the important question.

"You don’t look like someone who can cook."

A dangerous smile appeared on Shen Kai’s face.

Su Mo, however, continued fearlessly.

"More importantly, will it be edible?"

Silence.

Dead silence.

Even Shen Xing instinctively took two steps back.

The next moment, a blur shot across the courtyard.

Bang!

Su Mo was kicked clean out of the residence.

His figure flew through the air before landing outside with a graceful front flip.

Back inside the courtyard, Shen Kai’s furious roar echoed loudly.

"Damn brat!"

"If I don’t make you beg for another bowl at lunch, then I’m not the Great Elder of this sect!"

Outside the courtyard walls, Su Mo casually dusted off his clothes.

He glanced back with complete disdain.

"Such a short temper."

Then he shook his head helplessly.

"I must have hit the old man’s pain point."

Inside the courtyard, Shen Kai’s face darkened even further.

For some reason, he was suddenly looking forward to lunchtime. To teach that brat a lesson.

The disciple guard standing at the gate heard Su Mo’s words and immediately felt a chill run down his back.

He lowered his head and pretended not to hear anything.

Some things were simply above his pay grade.

A minute later, the courtyard gate opened again.

Su Mo turned his head and saw three figures walking out.

Two young women.

And one old grandma pretending to be young.

The moment the thought appeared in his mind, Song Meilin’s eyes narrowed.

She stopped walking and stared directly at him.

"Why do I suddenly have the urge to hit you?"

Su Mo froze. His heart skipped a beat.

’Damn. How sharp are her senses?’

Fortunately, he maintained a calm expression on the surface.

"How would I know?"

He spread his hands innocently.

"Maybe there’s something wrong with you."

Song Meilin’s eyelid twitched.

For some reason, hearing those words only increased her urge to hit him.

Beside them, Yang Qingxi quietly smiled without saying anything.

Having heard Su Mo’s inner thoughts, she had to admit that his description was not entirely wrong.

Although Song Meilin looked young, she was indeed over sixty years old.

At the same time, she wisely chose not to voice this opinion.

Unlike someone else, she valued her life.

Seeing Song Meilin’s increasingly dangerous gaze, Su Mo decisively changed the topic.

"Sister Song, weren’t you planning to show us around the sect today?"

The sudden change caught her attention.

Song Meilin blinked.

Then she slapped her forehead.

"Right."

"So many things happened that I completely forgot."

She looked toward the two guests.

"Do you still want to go?"

Yang Qingxi nodded first.

"We don’t have anything important to do right now. It’s a good opportunity to look around."

While speaking, she glanced at Su Mo. She knew exactly what he was thinking.

A tour of the sect was only an excuse. The real purpose was to gather information and continue investigating last night’s attacker.

Su Mo naturally didn’t deny it.

He simply nodded in agreement.

"Then let’s start."

Song Meilin thought for a moment.

"I’ll first take you to—"

Before she could finish speaking, a figure suddenly appeared nearby.

The newcomer wore a black robe and a headband bearing the White Moon Sect’s insignia.

Song Meilin recognized him immediately.

"Sect Master’s guard?"

A trace of confusion appeared on her face.

"Why are you here?"

The guard respectfully lowered his head.

"Elder Song."

Then his gaze shifted toward Su Mo and Yang Qingxi.

"Sect Master requests the presence of your guests."
