Elder Lingxin patted her sleeves and brushed off the wood shavings and dust on her clothes. "I'm going to wash up. Wait for me to come back."
After saying this to Chu Chen, Elder Lingxin stood up and gracefully walked towards the pool like a butterfly.
Seeing the graceful figure leave, the slightly plump shop assistant, who had been standing at the side for a long time, saluted Chu Chen with a face full of admiration.
"Little brother, you're really lucky! Although your legs are inconvenient, to be able to marry such a beautiful wife is really enviable. "
The plump shop assistant's eyes turned red.
"The most important thing is that your wife is not only beautiful and devastatingly beautiful, but she is also clever and skillful. Just by using some tools in our shop, she was able to create such a beautiful wheelchair. Such a blessing really makes me want to be reincarnated! "
"Uh …"
Hearing the slightly plump shop assistant's envious tone, Chu Chen was slightly stunned and blushed. "That … Your Excellency, you're mistaken. She's not my wife. She's just my mentor."
"Mentor?"
The shop assistant was obviously stunned, but soon, as if he had thought of something, he suddenly smiled at Chu Chen with a meaningful look in his eyes.
"Oh … Hahaha, little brother, you don't have to be shy. Our Western Wilderness is open and there aren't as many red tape as other places. Therefore, even if a disciple and a mentor are together, it's not a big deal that goes against human relations. Everyone is very open-minded. "
Chu Chen felt that he was about to break out in a cold sweat. The people of the Western Wilderness were really open-minded and dared to say anything.
As if the conversation had been opened, the slightly plump shop assistant clicked his tongue twice and continued with a smile.
"To be honest, in our Desolate City, there are many people like you every year. Because of the restrictions of etiquette and rules, they can't stay in their original places and try to find a way to survive here. This Desolate City is not as pedantic as other places and is very friendly to these people."
"And to be honest, little brother, I see that this teacher of yours treats you much better than his wife. You have to hold on to such a woman, or else … uh … "
The slightly plump shop assistant chattered on, which made Chu Chen speechless.
This guy actually thought that they were a couple who had eloped.
However, did he and Elder Lingxin really look like a couple?
Chu Chen suddenly felt a little happy. Did such a beautiful and cold Elder Lingxin look like a young couple with him?
However, the waiter suddenly stopped talking. It was as if someone had suddenly grabbed him by the neck, and he couldn't say a word.
The scene instantly froze!
Chu Chen turned around and saw that Elder Lingxin had already returned. Her eyes were as cold as ice and carried a chill that could freeze one's heart.
She looked coldly at the slightly plump shop assistant. In that instant, Chu Chen clearly felt that the temperature in the air seemed to drop by several degrees in an instant.
"If you want to do business, just do it properly. What's the point of talking so much nonsense? Do you think you can make a fortune just by talking?"
Elder Lingxin's expression was cold. Her beautiful eyes swept over the slightly plump shop assistant. The shop assistant's body immediately stiffened. His face was flushed red, and he was dumbstruck. Cold sweat flowed down his back, and he didn't know what to say.
Elder Lingxin really lived up to her reputation. With just one look, she could make people feel as if they had fallen into an ice cellar.
"Let's go."
After glancing at the shop assistant again, Elder Lingxin walked behind Chu Chen and pushed his wheelchair out of the door.
Behind her, the slightly plump shop assistant let out a long sigh of relief. His entire body went limp on the ground as he panted heavily.
After Chu Chen and Elder Lingxin walked far away, the plump shop assistant muttered to himself, "Elder Lingxin's character is like a cold block of wood. However, she is so beautiful. If I were that little cripple, I would also be willing to elope with her."
After saying that, the plump shop assistant hurriedly looked out of the door again. Seeing that Elder Lingxin didn't turn back, he heaved a sigh of relief.
Barren City was the gate to the Western Wilderness Region.
The structure of the city was extremely majestic. The city walls were piled up with huge blocks of stone. Inside the city, houses piled up with stones could be seen everywhere. The overall style revealed a wild and tough atmosphere.
Most of the streets in the city were paved with large blocks of bluestone. They were wide enough to allow eight carriages to travel side by side.
As Barren City was the only city at the edge of the Western Wilderness Region, it was extremely prosperous. The streets were bustling with people.
There were people shopping, peddling, quarreling, and even gambling … People of all shapes and sizes evolved into an incomparably magnificent picture of all living beings, emitting an intense aura of the mortal world.
After walking out of the secluded carpenter's shop, Elder Lingxin pushed Chu Chen on the crowded street. The surrounding people were bustling, but the atmosphere between the two was very quiet. It was so quiet that it even seemed a little bleak.
As if sensing some kind of special atmosphere, the two didn't speak much.
Until Elder Lingxin walked to a slightly secluded street where there were only a few passers-by walking on it, she suddenly stopped.
"The guide of the Yin Sect has arrived. I can sense her aura. I have to leave."
The beautiful teacher's voice was very soft. Her tone contained an indescribable aura. It seemed to have some reluctance, some helplessness, and some inexplicable sadness.
Chu Chen nodded. His lips moved, but he couldn't say anything.
"… But before I leave, I have something to ask you."
After a while, Elder Lingxin's slightly cold voice gently floated out.
Chu Chen seemed to have heard something from her voice. He turned to face her and nodded with a serious expression. "Teacher, please ask."
"You still know that I'm your teacher. You …"
Looking at the young man's serious face, as if he was listening to her teachings, Elder Lingxin had a strange feeling. She didn't know why, but she suddenly felt a strong sense of sadness in her chest.
For a moment, she seemed to have thousands of words to say.
However, when those words rushed to her mouth, they finally turned into a faint sigh. "You, you lied to me so bitterly."
At this moment, Elder Lingxin's cold eyes were filled with complicated emotions.
"Teacher, it's like this …"
Looking at Elder Lingxin's cold and gentle eyes, Chu Chen's heart moved. He wanted to explain something.
However, he saw Elder Lingxin hurriedly waving her hand and interrupting him.
"You don't have to explain to me. I just want to know one thing. That is, when you said in the barren mountain that you want to … want to … marry me, is it true …"
