Chapter 142 – Unforeseen Event

“Little Sister Temple Master, I hear what you say . ”

Xia Xue rolled her eyes for some reason, then sighed impatiently .

“So? Are we going to split up?”

Why has it come back to this? Feeling annoyed, Xue Qilin thought to herself .

“I don’t know!”

Qi Qiqi shouted in resignation .

However, she immediately noticed that she has attracted the attention of others . Holding her forehead, she took a deep breath, as if to overwhelm her worries .

“How do I say it... Although I really want to act cautiously, but the current situation does not seem to allow me to act like a mother hen . ”

Feeling frustrated, Qi Qiqi sighed for who knows which time .

“Well... you’re just being responsible . ”

Xue Qilin consoled . Qi Qiqi’s bitter expression revealed her vexation, and her red eyes turned dull .

“If it was Uncle Teacher Ye instead, he should be able to deal with it better than me...”

Maybe Qi Qiqi’s words made her dissatisfied, Xia Xue sneered .

“Little Sister Temple Master, what’s the use of saying such demoralizing words now?”

“I only...”

“Moreover, aren’t you implying that you and me put together can’t even compare to Ye Zhen? I can’t just dismiss this with a smile . ”

Xia Xue interrupted Qi Qiqi’s explanation in a rather unhappy tone .

Speaking of it, probably because their personalities clash, the relationship between Xia Xue and Ye Zhen isn’t good . It was not until Qi Qiqi and Ye Zhen buried the hatchet that their relationship improved . However, Xia Xue’s habit of calling Ye Zhen by his name in front of others hasn’t changed .

“I’m sorry, I didn’t think it through . ”

Qi Qiqi apologized frankly . She pressed her lips tightly and peeked at Xia Xue with an apologetic and uneasy look .

Why does she look like a child who did something they weren’t supposed to... but the courage to admit mistakes may also be a cute point about her . Xue Qilin mused .

Xia Xue issued a “mhm” in a neutral tone .

“Instead of apologizing to me, you should think about what to do next . We are wasting time here . Make a decision, it will be dark soon . ”

Xue Qilin looked up at the sky .

“Little Xue, isn’t that an overstatement? Not to mention dark, there is still some time before it’s noon . ”

“Hey, how long do you think we’ve been talking? If we go on like this, we’ll have to prepare to sleep out here . ”

Indeed, a discussion that doesn’t lead to an outcome is meaningless .

But Xue Qilin still feels that Xia Xue has gone a bit too far . Little Seven is clearly trying very hard .

Just when she wanted to say a few words to Qi Qiqi...

“It’s indeed a waste of time...”

Qi Qiqi laughed at herself .

Then she suddenly shouted “okay” and slapped a pair of cheeks hard .

Plop – the sound of knees hitting the ground rang .

“Ouch, it hurts! What are you doing!”

Xue Qilin, with tears in his eyes, rubbed her red cheeks and protested angrily . It turns out that what Qi Qiqi slapped just now was not her face, but Xue Qilin’s .

“I dislike it... because it’s going to hurt . ”

Pouting, Qi Qiqi spoke rapidly . But Xue Qilin still caught the smile suspended at the corners of her mouth .

“Boo, then are you implying that it doesn’t hurt me?”

“Okay, I’m pumped!”

Qi Qiqi waved her small fist, ignoring Xue Qilin’s protest . Seeing this, Xue Qilin almost fainted from anger .

“Young Ancestor, as an elder, you shouldn’t quibble with a junior . Or else it will make you look narrow-minded . ”

There is a playful expression on Xia Xue’s face . She’s be gloating .

Although she is seething . But seeing that the worried expression on Qi Qiqi’s face gradually fading, Xue Qilin, who believes herself to be a bigger person decided to take this loss and no longer bother with it .

Xue Qilin actually isn’t narrow-minded . Otherwise, how could Liu Chengzong still be alive and kicking in Merak Temple .

“Well – you appear a little broad-minded . ”

Whether it is to mock Xue Qilin for being narrow-minded or purely to praise her, Xia Xue made this statement .

“But we still need to scout first...”

Qi Qiqi glanced around, and then finally fixed her sight on Xue Qilin .

“Qilin, are there any martial demons nearby?”

“Who knows . ”

Xue Qilin spread her hands and expressed an attitude of “I won’t cooperate with you” . Although she decided not to bother with what happened just now, but that doesn’t mean that she’ll let Qi Qiqi to push it and ask her for help .

“Why... so petty!”

Qi Qiqi pouted sullenly, but then stared at Xue Qilin with urging eyes .

“Okay, I admit I was in the wrong . Come on, help me!”

Xue Qilin closed an eye and glanced at Qi Qiqi .

“If sorry were enough, would there be a need for police?”

This term she has never heard before prompted Qi Qiqi to tilt her head .

“Police, what’s that? Is it food?”

“Hey, do you only have food on your mind!”

That’s a foodie for you! Every time she hears something she doesn’t understand, she associates it with food! Not knowing whether to be angry or humored, Xue Qilin mocked the other party secretly .

“Okay, let it be... I know I was in the wrong, I shouldn’t have hit you . ”

“It’s already too late!”

Seeing that Xue Qilin still has an obstinate look on her face despite her using a soft tone, Qi Qiqi twisted her mouth, appearing a bit angry .

“Will you help me or not?”

“I won’t! Do you think that I’ll help you just because you ask me? I’m not that cheap!”

“Then you won’t eat dinner tonight!”

“What! Why are you threatening me again, you’re ticking me off!”

Seeing the two not budging, Xia Xue threw out a a couple of words leisurely .

“5 taels [1] . ”

“5 taels? Senior Disciple Sister Xia, what do you mean?”

“What 5 taels?”

The two staring at each other turned to look at Xia Xue at the same time .

Xia Xue crossed her arms disapprovingly, drooped her eyelids, and played with a strand of hair .

“Young Ancestor, if you’re willing to help, then Little Sister Temple Master will give you 5 taels . ”

When she heard that, Qi Qiqi couldn’t help but be stunned . She didn’t notice that Xue Qilin’s ears have perked up .

Xue Qilin put on an expression “I won’t be bribed” and snorted .

“You want to bribe me with just 5 taels? You’re really...”

“10 taels . ”

Xia Xue raised the price before the other side finished speaking .

At this time, Qi Qiqi finally recovered from her surprise and said helplessly, “Senior Disciple Sister Xia, are you treating Qilin like a kid? No matter how you put it...”

“Really?”

But Xue Qilin asked shamelessly .

“Wait, didn’t you just say that you’re not that cheap? I can’t believe you changed your mind for mere 10 taels! Where’s your integrity!”

Upset that the other party doesn’t live up to her expectations, Qi Qiqi gazed at Xue Qilin rather indignantly .

“Integrity, what’s that? Can it fill your stomach? I only know that I have been embarrassingly short on money recently and urgently need to fill my pouch . And when all is said and done, isn’t this the case because my allowance was mercilessly docked by a certain someone?” Xue Qilin spread her hands, “Look, I’m poor, so I have to give in to money . ”

Seeing Xue Qilin not feeling embarrassed and instead talk so much, Qi Qiqi covered her face with her hands and sighed helplessly, disappointed .

“Ah, I really don’t know what to tell you... Fine, then be it 10 taels...”

Qi Qiqi knitted her eyebrows and raised her right index finger .

“But let me tell you this, this is just an exception! This is the first and last time!”

“Oh, yeah, I got it . ”

When there’s a first time, there’s bound to be a second time! Xue Qilin sniggered secretly, thinking that she discovered a new way to make money .

Then she placed her hand in front of Qi Qiqi .

Evidently not understanding what the other party means, Qi Qiqi blinked her eyes .

“Do you want me to read your palm? But I don’t know how to do that...”

What the hell! Xue Qilin almost fell down .

“Who wants you to read their palm!”

“You don’t want me to read your palm...?”

Qi Qiqi tilted her head, puzzled . Then as if she remember something, she she hit her palm with her fist .

“Ah – don’t tell me you’re hungry?” There is a sense of responsibility in her bright red eyes, “Qilin, it’s not long before noon . Bear with it . ”

“It’s money!” Xue Qilin shook her hand and said, “I want you to give me the money!”

“What! So you are asking for money...”

Having a sudden realization, Qi Qiqi blinked her eyes, incredulous .

“Hurry up if you get it!”

“That... do you think I have money on me?”

Qi Qiqi shook her sleeves .

Surprisingly, weird sounds of things colliding came from her sleeves .

What did you put in there? Did you put the bowl engraved with the words “Property of the Temple Master” in there? Thinking of Qi Qiqi’s bowl, Xue Qilin’s expression suddenly became queer .

Apparently having detected that her behavior is improper, Qi Qiqi coughed lightly .

“My pouch is with Qing’er . ”

“Alright, then I’ll remind you later!”

“What an unpleasant statement . It sounds like I will break my promise . ”

“You better not . ”

Xue Qilin shrugged . But as far as she can remember, Qi Qiqi has really never broken her word .

“Then let’s get started . ”

“Alright!”

Xue Qilin waved her hands impatiently, and then closed her eyes .

She once again launched her perception boundary, and her range of perception expanded at a very high speed .

However, in the next moment, Xue Qilin suddenly opened her eyes .

“You’re already done?”

Qi Qiqi asked quickly .

“It seems that there is no need to look...”

Xue Qilin narrowed her eyes, which are already dyed gold, and looked into the distance .

“We have already been surrounded . ”

Qi Qiqi was startled for a moment, but then quickly reacted .

“By whom!”

After a long moment of silence, Xue Qilin answered in a grave tone, “By martial demons! There are many martial demons approaching from all directions!”

As if to confirm Xue Qilin’s statement, faint sound of hoofs came from all around .
