Chapter 2112: Chapter 2110: "Xiao Xun, Please Show Mercy

In fact, when Fang Shushu, the gossipy fellow, spoke those words.

Xiao Yi’s heart suddenly trembled.

Because he wasn’t interested in these questions, yet they would inexplicably cause issues.

Sure enough.

Chu Rou’s face reddened, and she said these two sentences with a strange tone.

Her voice carried hesitation, apology, and embarrassment.

Chu Rou’s voice was as gentle as water, soft and very pleasing to the ear.

Originally, she wanted to call him Vice Hall Master Xiao Xun, but then realized perhaps calling him Mr. Xiao Xun would be more polite.

After all, she had been saved by him.

But after speaking, Chu Rou’s heart also trembled.

Maybe such straightforward rejection to this savior was inappropriate?

Or perhaps, as the rumors had it, if Black Robe Xiao Xun was erratic, would such directness anger him?

At that moment, Chu Rou’s heart was conflicted to the extreme.

And this conflict was all noticed by Xiao Yi.

Only, Xiao Yi frowned and uttered just four words, "Inexplicable things."

"Huh?" Chu Rou, always smart and clever, instantly understood upon hearing those four words.

In the next moment, the blush, embarrassment, and hesitation on Chu Rou’s face disappeared instantly.

"Oh, so Mr. Xiao Xun’s beloved is not this young girl?"

Chu Rou visibly sighed with relief.

Xiao Yi heard her words, and his frown deepened.

"Uh." Chu Rou reacted again, saying, "Mr. Xiao Xun, please don’t misunderstand, this young girl meant no offense."

"I misunderstood earlier, so I beg Mr. Xiao Xun to forgive me."

After speaking, Chu Rou quickly glanced at Muu Ning beside her.

Beside them, a group of Heavenly Talents and Monsters also turned their gaze towards Muu Ning.

Muu Ning’s face was even redder, so red it seemed to drip water.

In fact, a match between a beauty and a hero might be what almost every girl hoped for and yearned for.

Now, this Black Robe Martial Artist, famous and unmatched in the Central Region, was undoubtedly an exceptional Monster.

And this Monster, without hesitation, faced danger to rescue people amidst countless Evil Cultivators, a majestic act.

Surely this alone would make an ordinary girl’s heart admire him, secretly granting affection.

This is what most people present thought.

But Muu Ning, however, clenched her fists tightly.

Not out of anger, but out of nervousness.

After a while, Muu Ning seemed to gather courage, suddenly looking directly at Xiao Yi, "Mr. Xiao Xun, Muu Ning thanks Mr. Xiao Xun for his great love."

"But Muu Ning has someone in her heart already, so..."

"I’m very sorry."

Muu Ning spoke all the words in one breath, seemingly afraid to see even a slight frown on the Black Robe Martial Artist before her.

Afterward, not knowing if it was due to nervousness or some other reason, Muu Ning quickly added, "Muu Ning means no intentional rejection to Mr. Xiao Xun."

"It’s just that Muu Ning indeed has a beloved, and Muu Ning is not lying."

"Even though everyone thinks that person is dead, Muu Ning believes he is certainly still alive."

Xiao Yi heard this and furrowed his brows even tighter, but also murmured in confusion, "Everyone thinks he’s dead, yet he’s still alive?"

"Is there such a strange person?"

Xiao Yi subconsciously murmured.

But when heard by everyone present, Xiao Xun’s lack of denial seemed more like a questioning statement.

The Heavenly Talents and Monsters present all revealed meaningful gazes, sweeping over Xiao Yi and Muu Ning.

Soon Muu Ning became flustered, her face more than just flushed, added with deep tension and panic.

"Really, Mr. Xiao Xun, Muu Ning is not deceiving you."

"With Mr. Xiao Xun’s extraordinary talent, undoubtedly countless women would admire you deeply, but Muu Ning indeed..."

"Enough, nonsense." Heartless Inn Master coldly reprimanded.

"Young girl, you really think that this old man doesn’t know what’s on your mind?"

"That Xiao Xun fellow is so exceptional, but you only evade him because you see his face unworthy, resembling a monster."

"Knowing this, there is no need for Xiao Xun to risk his life to save you."

"I..." Muu Ning’s tone froze, nervously looking at Xiao Yi, "Please Mr. Xiao Xun be merciful and find another worthy person."

Muu Ning, her face tense, feared that Xiao Yi might utter even half a ’no’ word.

"Done speaking?" Xiao Yi asked indifferently, shaking his head.

"If there’s nothing else important, I’m rushing to retreat into seclusion."

Muu Ning promptly felt a merciful release, "Thanks to Mr. Xiao Xun."

"Muu Ning has to hurry back to the Academic Palace, so I won’t stay any longer, farewell."

Muu Ning cupped her hands, looking to Chu Rou beside her, "Chu Rou Senior Sister, let’s go."

Chu Rou nodded, looking apologetically at Xiao Yi, cupping her hands, "Mr. Xiao Xun, please don’t mind, farewell."

The pair quickly stepped back a few paces.

Lih Fengxing and his group also cupped their hands, expressed their farewells, and departed together.

On the spot, Ran Qi shook his head, "So-called Red Powder Skull, everything is Wuxiang."

"Women, truly all are shallow creatures."

Ye Liu gave him a sidelong glance, "You Martial Arts Fool, what do you understand."

Then Ye Liu looked at Xiao Yi and also cupped his hands, "Brother Xiao, I have matters at Ye Saint Mansion, so farewell."

"When leisure allows, please visit my Ye Saint Mansion. I, Ye Liu, will certainly welcome you warmly."

At that moment, only Qing Lin was left alone.

From start to finish, Qing Lin felt no sense of presence and did not utter a word. Seeing everyone depart, he also cupped his hands and asked to leave.

Only then, Xiao Yi smiled indifferently, "That young guy."

The group of Heavenly Talents and Monsters, having expressed their thanks, had all left.

Beside him, Heartless Inn Master patted Xiao Yi’s shoulder, speaking in a deep voice, "Xiao Xun, you don’t have to feel inferior."

"Though your appearance is unworthy, with your talent and today’s authority, mere women are easily attainable."

Xiao Yi, upon hearing, gave Heartless Inn Master a glare.

Did he seem inferior?

However, just now Muu Ning mentioned the person everyone thought was dead but is still alive?

Xiao Yi seemed to realize something, hesitated for a moment.

"That’s right." Xiao Yi lazily dismissed further thoughts, looking at Heartless Inn Master and Guisha City Lord, "What brings you two seniors to find me?"

Guisha City Lord chuckled wryly, apologizing, "Naturally it’s for the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit matter."

"Originally, Guisha City has its rules, and since I, City Lord, promised you, I would certainly give it to you."

"Even if Changtian Wine Demon comes, he wouldn’t break the rules."

"But what the City Lord didn’t expect was that the scoundrel visited my City Lord’s Mansion, claiming to catch up, but purposefully got me drunk and knocked me out."

Guisha City Lord spoke while chuckling wryly.

If it weren’t for his lack of defense against Changtian Wine Demon, he wouldn’t have been so easily knocked out.

Heartless Inn Master chuckled lightly, "The rules of Guisha City have never been broken over countless years."

"Even when Changtian Wine Demon comes, they’re useless."

"However, he later told me it was our Master’s order, concerning the growth of this young disciple of mine."

"At that moment, I thought, since he’s a young disciple and part of the family, matters of rules are easier to discuss."

"Thus, I agreed with him and didn’t give you the Ten Thousand Poison Fruit."

Indeed, when Changtian Wine Demon sought out Heartless Inn Master on that day.

What truly made Heartless Inn Master compromise wasn’t the knocked-out Guisha City Lord.

But those few words of ’Master’s order’ and ’concern the young disciple’ saying.
