Chapter 275 - Young Miss

Ling Xiao looked at Yue Lingshan's bashful expression, and could not help but laugh, following that, he extended his hand and grabbed Yue Lingshan's wrist, and pulled him into her own room.

"What are you doing?" Yue Lingshan didn't react for a moment, and allowed Ling Xiao to pull him.

"I feel like you brought a lot of food, why don't we eat together?" Ling Xiao opened the basket and took out the dishes inside. Immediately, a fragrant smell wafted into his nose.

Looking at the delicacies on the table, Ling Xiao laughed: "I never expected you to be so generous, bringing me alone food, and cooking so many dishes."

Hearing this, Yue Lingshan's face reddened, and she said in a low voice: "I was just thinking that you're pitiful by yourself, and that there's no one accompanying you. It's probably been a long time since I've eaten anything good, and that's why I brought so much."

"So it's like that, you're right. Thinking about it like that, I am indeed quite pitiful. However, there are really too many of these dishes, and one person definitely won't be able to finish them all. Come, come and eat with me." With that, Ling Xiao took out the tableware from the basket and handed it over to Yue Lingshan.

After that, Ling Xiao got up and closed the door, "The wind is strong and cold at night, so the food is easy to cool off."

"Oh, oh, that's true." Yue Lingshan looked at the tableware in front of him, and her expression was a little slow.

After all, this was the first time she was alone in a room with a man and a woman. She didn't feel comfortable at all, and there was no one else around. It was empty, and her heart was filled with panic.

Was he afraid? Shy?

Yue Lingshan stared at her hands that had no place to place them, his mind was in a mess, his mind was also blank, the originally haughty her, was currently a lady from a noble family that had just met her for the first time.

Ling Xiao returned to his seat and looked at Yue Lingshan's shy appearance, which surprisingly had some sort of charisma. His heart was moved, and under the weak light of the candle, Yue Lingshan's beauty seemed to have a unique flavor.

"Eat while it's still hot. Otherwise, if I eat by myself, it'll definitely be a waste." Ling Xiao said with a smile.

"Yes." Yue Lingshan responded softly in agreement, then stiffly picked up her chopsticks and started to eat mouthful after mouthful.

Ling Xiao knew that the current atmosphere was a little awkward, so he took the initiative to ask some Huashan Mountain disciples about their daily lives. Because Ling Xiao had always lived in seclusion, he did not join the disciples in their daily activities.

Yue Lingshan also knew that Ling Xiao rarely came out, so she really believed that Ling Xiao wanted to know more about the situation outside.

After chatting for a while, Yue Lingshan compared to him being restrained at the start, it was much more natural, and then she took the initiative to ask: "Ling Xiao, you said that you have been hiding here safe and sound, why did you suddenly want everyone to know about you?"

Hearing this, Ling Xiao put down his chopsticks, and after pondering for a while, raised his head and said: "I have been living in seclusion, not because I want to escape, but because I am cultivating hard. I have been improving a bit, so I should let everyone know, the Mount Hua Sword Sect is still here, has not disappeared."

When Yue Lingshan heard this, her eyes flashed with admiration and adoration. It was obvious that she admired Ling Xiao's words;

"So that's how it is. Your humble behavior towards them before was all an act!" Yue Lingshan said, suddenly enlightened.

Ling Xiao laughed blandly: 'They are just some random people who do not have time to cultivate properly and will just wander around randomly, looking for soft persimmon to pinch. This kind of person has no future to speak of, if I were to quibble about it, I'm afraid it would affect my own future.

Looking at Ling Xiao's relaxed appearance, Yue Lingshan was even more impressed, "You're still young, but you give me a feeling of maturity, it seems like the day of Mount Hua Sword Sect's rise is not far."

"Hehe, aren't you the same? Although you're young, you like to pretend to be mature." Ling Xiao laughed.

After hearing this, Yue Lingshan's face couldn't help but turn red as she shook her head and said, "How could I pretend to be old? Aren't you the same? You're just a few years older than me."

"I don't need to pretend. That's the truth." Ling Xiao said indifferently.

Yue Lingshan heard and snorted: "I don't want to continue with this nonsense. In short, you should be more careful in the following days.

"Hmm? I have only won a single battle, why must those unrelated people oppose me? " Ling Xiao raised his eyebrows and pretended not to understand.

Yue Lingshan glared at Ling Xiao, "Do you really not know or are you pretending to not know, this young miss is the goddess that they have yearned for in their dreams in the Huashan Mountain, and now that you are bullying them, how can they not be angry?"

"Oh, so that's the case. These people are really stingy." Ling Xiao looked like he had suddenly realized something.

Seeing Ling Xiao like that, Yue Lingshan angrily stomped her feet, "Aiya, did you actually take my words seriously? If you get taught a lesson later, don't blame me for not reminding you."

"Eldest Miss Yue, could it be that you're worried about me?" Ling Xiao grinned.

Hearing that, Yue Lingshan was startled, then pouted: "Who cares about you, I just don't want you to get lectured for no reason!"

With that, Yue Lingshan got up and cleaned up the dishes, and then picked up the basket as she prepared to leave, "Let's go, I don't want to chat anymore with you, go ahead, since you look like you aren't afraid of anyone, I don't care."

Seeing that, Ling Xiao also stood up and said: "You're leaving already? Have you forgotten something? "

Yue Lingshan's body froze for a moment, before she retorted, "What is it?"

"It's only been a few days since the competition, and you've already forgotten about it?" Ling Xiao looked at Yue Lingshan and revealed a playful smile.

Very quickly, Yue Lingshan reacted, her face flushed red to her ears, "I don't have time right now, I still have things to do when I go back, let's talk about it next time."

With that, Yue Lingshan anxiously pushed open the door and left. Ling Xiao walked to the door, looked at the anxious Yue Lingshan and shouted loudly: "Alright, next time, I'll wait for you. There will definitely be a time when you have time."

Hearing that, Yue Lingshan increased her pace once again, and directly ran to the entrance of the courtyard, and quickly disappeared from Ling Xiao's field of vision.

Leaning on the doorframe, Ling Xiao could not help but smile, his expression extremely pleased with himself.

If Yue Lingshan saw this, she would definitely be stomping her feet in anger.

Yue Lingshan looked so arrogant, and she was probably not even a little girl. Most likely, she was affected by her seniors, which was why she pretended to be mature, but in reality, she was still a little childish, and was completely no match for Ling Xiao. Just a few casual words or movements, was enough to make Yue Lingshan at a loss of what to do.
