In the morning, Xiao Chen came back rather early. Hong Zhu was a little surprised and asked curiously.
Xiao Chen had nothing to do, so he simply explained the situation. After hearing it, Hong Zhu couldn't help but stomp her feet in anger. Although she saw that Xiao Chen didn't seem to care, she was extremely dissatisfied with Gong Ruitong, whose eyes grew on his forehead.
Unable to find an opportunity in the afternoon, after finishing dinner, Hong Zhu complained to Xiao Chen, wanting to leave the Burning Sky Faction as soon as possible.
Hong Zhu felt that since the other party didn't want to see her, there was no point in continuing to stay. It would be better to just leave!
"Little Hong Zhu, don't make trouble. We've just arrived in the cultivation world and are unfamiliar with the people and the place. It wasn't easy for us to find a sect that we can rely on for a while. No matter what, we should first ask them to help us inquire about the whereabouts of Cheng Mengying and the others, right?" Xiao Chen helplessly comforted him: "Besides, didn't Gong Shaoxi already come over to apologize? Calm down, it's easy to get wrinkles when you're angry! "
Xiao Chen chose to stay in the Burning Sky Faction because he was somewhat helpless. Even if his strength was outstanding, he was only one person. Including Hong Zhu, there were only two people. In such a vast and boundless cultivation world, with just the strength of two people, where could they go to find others?
If there was any other way, Xiao Chen couldn't be bothered to stay in the Burning Sky Faction and wait for news from others all day long.
"Hmph! That stinky old man Gong Ruitong, it's fine if he looks down on me, but he even dares to scold this big sister's husband! " Although Hong Zhu could understand Xiao Chen, she still felt indignant and resentfully muttered: "You went to treat his injuries with good intentions, but in the end, not only did you not get any benefits, you even ended up being called a swindler. I'm so angry!"
The more she spoke, the angrier she became. Hong Zhu simply reached out and grabbed the pillow placed on the bed. Her small fists continuously pounded on it while she muttered something, as if she was casting a spell on Gong Ruitong.
"Forget it, forget it. That old man has been staying at home for too long in order to recuperate. He probably hasn't seen much of the world. There's no need to stoop to his level." Seeing Hong Zhu angrily pounding the pillow, Xiao Chen could not help but laugh. He had never imagined that this girl, who was usually so flirtatious, would occasionally reveal such a cute side.
Hong Zhu pouted and was about to say something when he suddenly heard a knock on the door, followed by Gong Shaoxi's cautious voice, "High Immortal Master, Master Hong, have you rested? I have something to discuss with you. Is that convenient? "
"It's not convenient! It was already the middle of the night, what was there to discuss? Can't you wait until tomorrow to come back? " Hong Zhu had originally been filled with a belly full of anger and had been worried about not having a place to vent it, so he decided to vent it all on Gong Shaoxi.
Hong Zhu had originally felt that the atmosphere tonight was pretty good and had wanted to take the opportunity to throw a little tantrum and have Xiao Chen coax her. Who would have thought that Gong Shaoxi would be so thick-skinned as to disturb them? She had nearly exploded with rage!
"Uh … this …" Gong Shaoxi was instantly dumbfounded. He stood rooted to the spot for a long time but was unable to say anything. His mind was completely blank and he did not know what to do.
Leaning against Gong Shaoxi's back, Gong Ruitong also had a bitter expression on his face. He subconsciously thought that Hong Zhu's words were High Immortal Xiao's. Now that the other party was not even willing to see him, it seemed that he was really angry. Ai, this time, he was really in trouble!
"Alright, Little Hong Zhu, don't make a fuss!" Xiao Chen smiled bitterly and shook his head. He lightly pinched Hong Zhu's cheek, using his eyes to signal her not to cause trouble. Only then did he raise his voice and say, "We haven't slept yet, come in!"
After saying that, Xiao Chen thought for a moment, then stood up and walked over to open the door that he had originally closed.
Hong Zhu could not help but be stunned by Xiao Chen's' sudden attack '. She unconsciously touched her cheek and her pretty face blushed slightly. Her mind also began to run wild: What does Xiao Chen mean by this action? Could it be that he has suddenly become enlightened? I've never seen him act so intimately in the past!
Also, what does that look in his eyes mean? Could it be that he wants to do something intimate with me tonight? Aiya, so embarrassing, should I agree or not?
Seeing that Xiao Chen had opened the door for him, Gong Shaoxi hurriedly walked into the room with a smile on his face. He kept saying, "High Immortal Master, I'm really sorry! Why did you disturb me so late at night … Eh? Mistress Hong, your face is so red, could it be that you're sick? Do you want me to help you find a doctor … Aiya! Father, why did you hit me? "
Just now, as Gong Shaoxi was speaking, he raised his head and saw Hong Zhu's blushing face. Feeling somewhat puzzled, he casually asked, but before he could finish his words, he felt Gong Ruitong suddenly hit his back.
"Go to hell, what are you saying? You're the one who's sick in the head! "Hong Zhu came to her senses and glared fiercely at Gong Shaoxi before turning her head away in annoyance.
"That … High Immortal Xiao, Miss Hong, my son doesn't have the slightest bit of eyesight and he doesn't really know how to speak. Please don't take it to heart, hehehe!" Gong Ruitong hurriedly tried to smooth things over.
Gong Ruitong was an experienced person. With just a glance, she could guess that Xiao Chen and Hong Zhu were about to do something that adults liked to do. She just had to interrupt them before they could even begin, so they would definitely be angry.
"Your son is indeed a bit of a fool, but I think you're also quite simple-minded." Glancing at Gong Ruitong who was lying on Gong Shaoxi's back, Xiao Chen frowned and asked, "Alright, hurry up and tell me! Is there something urgent for you to rush over to find me in the middle of the night? If there's nothing else, we're going to sleep! "
"There's something! There's something! " Gong Shaoxi nodded repeatedly. He first placed his father on a chair at the side, then ordered a servant to bring over a cup of hot tea.
After the hot tea was served, Gong Shaoxi took the teacup and respectfully handed it to Xiao Chen. Then, he bowed slightly and said with a shy smile, "High Immortal Master, although we're already master and disciple, I have yet to formally acknowledge you as my disciple. As the saying goes, etiquette cannot be discarded, so I've specially come over this time to make up for it!"
"Is it really worth it for you to disturb me in the middle of the night for such a trivial matter? Can't you come back tomorrow? "Xiao Chen could not help but roll his eyes. However, he still reached out and took the teacup.
Just as he was about to raise his head and drink the tea, Xiao Chen saw Gong Shaoxi suddenly kneel down in front of him with a thud. He jumped in fright and immediately dodged to the side. Not knowing whether to laugh or cry, he scolded, "Are you crazy? Isn't it just acknowledging me as your master? Can't you do it properly? Why do you have to kneel and kowtow? Are you trying to shorten my lifespan or what? "
