Chapter 6 I refuse to turn my back over to someone like you
Everyone, including Ling Feiyang himself, thought the answer would be affirmative. However, the result often turned out to be unexpected.
"No." Zhuge Mingyue's tone was very calm.
"What?" Ling Feiyang was stunned for a moment and didn't react immediately.
"You don't have that honor! It's me refusing, got it? Do you need me to make it clearer?" Zhuge Mingyue said calmly and slowly, "I refuse to turn my back over to someone like you. To hand it over to someone I don't trust, who also doesn't trust me."
Ling Feiyang's thin, sexy lips parted slightly, and he was stunned on the spot. Zhuge Mingyue's answer completely exceeded his expectations! At this time, Luo Jingfeng also arrived, heard the conversation between the two, raised an eyebrow, looked at Zhuge Mingyue's calm face, fell silent, but in his heart it was complicated.
Wan Xi Chen and Xue Zi Hao stared at this scene with wide eyes.
What just happened?
Zhuge Mingyue didn't care about these things, but instead turned her head to look at Wan Qi Chen, and smiled slightly: "Fatty, didn't you just say you'd treat me to dinner? Let's go."
"Ah? Oh, oh, yeah! I'll treat you to dinner!" Wan Xi Chen came back to his senses, overjoyed and nodded repeatedly.
"Let's go." Zhuge Mingyue smiled brightly, releasing her hand, and the parrot on it fluttered to her head. Before leaving, the parrot looked at Ling Feiyang, who was still petrified in place, with disdain in its small eyes.
Like this, under the gaze of everyone's astonishment, shock and confusion, Zhuge Mingyue, Wan Qichen and Xue Zihao walked out of the school gate. While Ling Feiyang had not yet come back to his senses, he stood there in a daze. Luo Jingfeng shrugged, went forward and patted his shoulder: "Feiyang, wake up, everyone's gone."
Ling Feiyang finally came back to his senses and suddenly turned his head to look in the direction where Zhuge Mingyue had gone, but he only saw a resolute back view.
"She actually refused me as her guardian?" Ling Fei Yang's tone was one of utter incredulity.
"Haha, Ling Xiao, who has never been rejected by a woman before, how are you feeling now?" Luo Jingfeng looked at Ling Feiyang's incredulous face and couldn't help but tease him with a cool tone. But in his heart, he felt slightly relieved. It was good that the other party had refused, or else he wouldn't have known how to end it.
Ling Fei Yang glanced at Ling Xiao, whose eyes were filled with schadenfreude. Grinding his teeth, he squeezed out a sentence: "Don't provoke me, I'm in a very bad mood right now."
Luo Jingfeng suppressed his smile and did not provoke him further. He was well aware that if he continued to provoke, a certain self-respecting person would definitely draw their sword against him here. He was an archer, not a swordsman, and close combat was not his forte. If he were to engage in close combat with Ling Feiyang, it would be he who would end up at a disadvantage.
……
In a short time, the news that Ling Feiyang was rejected by Zhuge Mingyue to become his Guardian Master spread throughout the entire academy! For a moment, it caused a huge stir.
However, the person involved, Zhuge Mingyue, did not have that kind of self-awareness. He was now sitting in a nicely decorated restaurant with Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zihao. The parrot had already returned and would only appear again when Zhuge Mingyue summoned it next time.
"Special braised pork, spicy pig's trotters, fermented bean curd chicken wings, braised pig's feet..." Xue Zihao looked at the dishes ordered by Zhuge Mingyue and twitched his mouth corner - all meat! Not a single vegetarian dish!
"What are you muttering about? As long as Zhuge likes it, that's all that matters, right?" Wan Qichen puffed out his big pig head and smiled obsequiously.
"Thank you, fatty! I haven't had a good meal in ages." Zhuge Mingyue was not one to be coy, and she smiled as she thanked him. She was someone who insisted on having meat with every meal, but since waking up yesterday, she hadn't even had a single piece of meat! This made her extremely frustrated. The reason lay with the two servants employed by the Zhuge family. The Zhuge family didn't care about this illegitimate daughter of theirs, so they banished her to this small city and left her in the care of these two servants. They handed over the monthly living expenses to these two servants, and because Zhuge Mingyue used to be a timid person, she didn't dare to keep track of these things either. As a result, these two servants took advantage of their master's kindness and embezzled quite a bit of money. The food they provided for Zhuge Mingyue was mostly just vegetarian dishes and clear soups. This morning, she had been busy attending the summoning ceremony and hadn't had time to deal with this matter. She would settle accounts with these two brazen servants when she got back. Zhuge Mingyue made a silent vow.
"No, no need to thank me." Wan Xi Chen chuckled and said, "Eat a bit more. You're so thin, eat a bit more."
"Alright, I'll pack you up, don't mind, right?" asked Zhuge Mingyue with a straight face.
"What? No, no bother." Wan Xi Chen was taken aback for a moment, then shook his head vigorously.
Xue Zihao turned his face away, unable to bear looking at Wan Qi Chen's embarrassing appearance any longer.
The dishes came up one by one quickly, and Zhuge Mingyue started eating.
Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zi Hao were stunned, because Zhuge Mingyue's movements were extremely elegant. This was completely different from the Zhuge Mingyue they knew. Before, in the school cafeteria, they had seen her eating alone, always shrinking into a corner with her tray to eat. The words "elegant" and "refined" didn't even come close to describing her. But now, every move Zhuge Mingyue made was full of elegance, to the point where it was mesmerizing.
However, elegant movements, inelegant appetite...
Zhuge Mingyue elegantly finished several dishes in a row, only stopping after three bowls of rice. After putting down her chopsticks, she elegantly wiped her mouth and smiled at Wan Qi Chen: "Fatty, thank you."
"No, no need to thank me." Wan Xi Chen almost went crazy.
"I'm off then." Zhuge Mingyue picked up the already packed dishes and bid farewell to Wan Qi Chen and Xue Zihao.
"Tomorrow morning, I'll wait for you at your doorstep." Wan Xi Chen said hastily.
"Good." Zhuge Mingyue nodded and took the dishes directly back home.
Wan Qi Chenbo stood at the window, staring at the back of Zhuge Mingyue outside, lost in thought.
"Hey, fatty, you're not a masochist, are you? You get beaten up by her and then fall in love with her?" Xue Zihao finally couldn't help but ask the doubt that had been on his mind.
"Nonsense! You're the one who's a masochist. I'm too lazy to bother with you." Wan Xi Chen jumped up, his face red with rage, "I'm going back to practice my summoning skills now. Tomorrow, after I pass the assessment, I'll be an official Summoner. You go practice your archery, as my Guardian, don't embarrass me!"
Xue Zihao's mouth twitched, and he said, "Don't worry. It's you who should be careful not to get summoned tomorrow. If you participate in a few primary summoner exams, I'll die laughing."
"You're dreaming!" Wan Xi Chen snorted, "Just wait and see my earth-shattering, ghost-and-god-crying performance tomorrow!"
"Alright, let's go back. Go back and get a good rest, recharge your energy. I'm looking forward to seeing your stunning performance tomorrow." Xue Zihao reached out and hooked his arm around Wan Qichen's neck.
"That's for sure..." Wan Xi Chen hummed contentedly as the two of them settled the bill and gradually walked away.
At this time, Zhuge Mingyue was carrying food and walking leisurely towards home. The house she lived in now was a small quadrangle courtyard bought by the Zhuge family for her in Cangfeng City. She lived in the middle room, while two servants lived on the left side.
As soon as she entered the gate, Zhuge Mingyue looked at the fallen leaves all over the yard and the messy flower pots by the wall, and frowned. In her memory, how often did these two clean up? Once a week? Once a month?
Just as Zhuge Mingyue was thinking, a servant came out. This person is Liu Shu, who was hired by the Zhuge family to take care of her daily life. When Liu Shu saw Zhuge Mingyue return, she just glanced at her lightly and was about to walk away. But suddenly she sniffed, smelling the fragrance. She looked at the oil paper bag in Zhuge Mingyue's hand, her eyes shining slightly. Smiling, she walked towards Zhuge Mingyue.
"Miss, you've brought us something to eat again, that's so great!" After saying that, Mrs. Liu was about to reach out and take the things in Zhuge Mingyue's hands.
Zhuge Mingyue's face sank, and she coldly snorted in her heart. These two people had long owed her a debt of revenge! Today was the day to settle the score with them!
