Upon seeing that both Disciples had fallen silent, Su Bei nodded in satisfaction, but then felt he might have been a bit too harsh just now and softened his tone, "With the Twenty-One Provinces being so vast, isn't it a kind of fate that you both ended up under the tutelage of the sa Master?"
Truth be told, Su Bei actually felt a certain indescribable pleasure watching his two Disciples argue over him!
Xiao Ruoching glanced at Su Bei, who was struggling to keep his mouth from curling upward, and spoke with lowered eyes, "Disciple admits her mistake."
Yet in her heart, she snorted coldly. Her Master clearly seed to be secretly pleased with the situation.
Mo Li also nodded her head, pretending to be obedient, but the profound aning in her eyes was quietly hidden behind her eyelids, "Disciple also knows she was wrong!"
Su Bei gave a light cough and nodded in satisfaction. Then, he grabbed Xiao Ruoching's fair hand and walked over to Mo Li on the bed. To Mo Li's astonishnt, he proceeded to forcibly pull her hand out from under the blankets.
The smile at the corner of his mouth finally broke free, and he said in a 'sincere' and amiable tone, "Then let's shake hands, smile, and make up!"
"..."
Looking at the childish way of making ands, Xiao Ruoching was sowhat at a loss whether to laugh or cry.
Outside the thatched cottage, everything was blanketed in white. The corners of the courtyard, piled with snow, resembled white silk, layer upon layer wrapping everything up to the horizon. All around, it was quiet, with no birdsong or human chatter, only this tranquility remained.
Xiao Ruoching's eyes t Mo Li's. Both seed to force a stiff smile, their soft hands tightly clasped together.
However, the grip seed far from gentle. Su Bei raised an eyebrow, noticing how the too-tight clasp caused faint blue veins to show beneath their delicate skin.
Mo Li's lips curved into a lovely arc, her silver hair shimring in the sunlight as she smiled and said, "I've heard that Senior Sister works so hard at cultivation to avenge her annihilated clan. Senior Sister truly has an imposing image in Junior Sister's heart. It's a pity Junior Sister doesn't have the sa motivation..."
Xiao Ruoching smiled very 'sweetly', blinked at Mo Li, and chuckled with deep aning, "Junior Sister is also quite impressive. I just hope in the future she won't give herself away because of eating so ** powder..."
Under the sunlight, the two girls grinned like blossoming flowers.
Their clasped hands were unwilling to part for a long ti.
Su Bei, feeling sowhat irritated, tapped his head and, with his hands behind his back, let out a long sigh.
Thinking it over, he decided this was a good ti to give them the clothing. So, he took out a set of dark cyan garnts from his storage ring and handed it to Xiao Ruoching.
Xiao Ruoching, however, did not notice the style of the clothing. She took it with both hands, holding it in front of her chest, glancing sideways at Mo Li with an expectant look, and said, "Thank you, Master, for bestowing clothes on your Disciple."
She paused for a mont, the corners of her mouth gently lifting, "Is it just for alone, or do the other Disciples have them too?"
"..."
The hand Su Bei was using to reach into his storage ring for a second set of clothes froze for a mont. Then, he pulled it out, stuffed the clothes into Mo Li's hands, and looked at her with an odd expression.
He always treated his Disciples equally, in every way!
"Of course, everyone has one. This is yours," he answered.
Seeing Su Bei's action, the joy on Xiao Ruoching's face gradually faded. After huffing at Mo Li, she muttered softly to no one in particular, "Hmph, I knew it. I wouldn't get anything unless it was leftovers."
"..."
Su Bei's face was lined with exasperation.
It looks like making these two Disciples get along will be a long and difficult task...
Should he go back and get a few bundles of chopsticks, call them to the window, and make them try to break the chopsticks for him?
「...」
Elder Xi's eight-hundredth birthday celebration had passed, and the Disciples and elders from various Sects had begun to leave one after another.
With two dazzling Disciples in tow, Su Bei wore an enthusiastic smile, greeting the passing Disciples and elders warmly, "Co and visit again, yeah?"
"Hello, hello, see you again soon!"
"See you at the opening ceremony of the Sect's Sacred Land!"
"Oh? Isn't this Eighth Junior Sister? Eighth..."
His smile froze on his face, and his hands, stretched out to greet and ready to embrace Eighth Junior Sister, whom he considered a good buddy, halted mid-air.
This ti, however, Dan Wuque did not run towards him with her tuft of hair gently swaying as she usually did.
In Su Bei's sowhat astonished gaze, the mont Dan Wuque saw Su Bei, she jumped high like a startled rabbit, then covered her face and turned to run away...
Su Bei wore a look of bemusent. What was going on? She's usually so brash, isn't she?
Could it be related to the incident that occurred the other night?
Xiao Ruoching watched the retreating figure of this Eighth Uncle thoughtfully, then looked up at her Master, who was clearly bewildered, and sighed deep in her heart.
It seed her worst suspicions were likely to be confird.
This move of Master's... it looked like a double kill.
She felt sowhat indignant. Go ahead and be smug, Master! After all, they're identical twins!
After an inexplicably strange interlude, Su Bei led his two Disciples to visit Red Dust Peak amidst the envious gazes of others. As soon as they reached the peak, they saw Eldest Senior Sister discussing sothing with Yu Hongxiu.
