From a closer distance, Guan Jinhua managed to capture a bit of the conversation. She faintly heard Shen Nianmo said, "You don"t have to look for me again. I"m not interested in accompanying you for the mission." Then, Shen Nianmo hung up the call and turned around. He saw Guan Jinhua standing not far behind him.The atmosphere around him was cold. When he stared at her, Guan Jinhua felt like a gla.s.s of ice water drenched her heart. She was nervous and smiled awkwardly. "Senior brother apprentice, who is it?"
Shen Nianmo stared at her. "Do I have a duty to tell you when I talk to someone?" His words were piercingly cold.
Guan Jinhua remained silent. She had been walking along with Shen Nianmo and stayed by his side the whole day. He was quite a gentleman to her all the while. However, in such a short period, he had been rude to her twice!
Her self-esteem was a little bit hurt. When she wanted to say something more, Shen Nianmo had pa.s.sed her and entered the hall. This young man was in a bad mood. Why?
He looked rather pleased when he received a call via the directed audio spell. Why did his mood change so fast after a few minutes of talking? Who was the other party? What did they talk about?
Shen Nianmo was such a good person. The woman who chased after him must be more than the fishes in a river. Who could disturb his emotions so much? There were many questions in Guan Jinhua"s mind, but no one could answer them aside from Shen Nianmo.
The banquet was supposed to run until late into the night, but Shen Nianmo excused himself, telling the rest that he was tired; hence, he left the hall in advance. Since he had left, there was no reason to continue to the party. Therefore, Master Fengxing pondered for a moment and then asked Guan Jinhua to stay and dismissed the rest of his disciples.
Master Fengxing asked Guan Jinhua about what happened when she picked Shen Nianmo up. Guan Jinhua had stayed in Mountain Wujie for a day, so she had heard some gossips. She heard about the story of Ren Chongsheng and Shen Nianmo rescuing the young children. Qing Luo brought it up when they casually chatted. Qing Luo had always disliked Ren Chongsheng, so when she talked about it, she added a lot of exaggeration that was unfavorable to Ren Chongsheng.
At that time, Guan Jinhua felt that Ren Chongsheng was a cunning girl. However, when she knew that she was the mysterious grimace person, she added a lot of other unfavorable things when she storied to Master Fengxing.
The more Master Fengxing listened, the tighter his eyebrows knitted. As far as he knew, although this mysterious grimace person was not very close to the people in this world, she was still very powerful. She had never failed to get what she wanted. If she really had an eye on Shen Nianmo, it was going to be very troublesome.
…
It was rare for Shen Nianmo to skip practice and lay down in bed leisurely. The directed audio spell in his waist still lighted up once every few seconds. Apparently, that person had not given up on him yet and still tried to convince him. He closed his eyes, did not want to pick up.
It was meaningless to pick up. He knew that the conversation would be still the same as what they had talked about previously. In fact, he did not know what feelings he had towards Gu Xijiu. When she wore her mask, he had been tortured by her before, and he seemed to hate her. However, she was also Ren Chongsheng, as well as the big sister who sent him home when he was a kid.
Over the past few years, there were many women around him who fancied him. However, he had never had any feelings towards them and did not even care about them. But the three women who Gu Xijiu transformed into gave him different kinds of feelings. He instinctively wanted to get close to her, and wanted to hold her hand; he wanted to hug her, even when she was with him. He would be inexplicably excited, and there was a desire from his body.
