Morning Star

Chapter 153 She is still worried about him

In this way, in the few days after returning to the inn, she basically stayed by his side for seven hours out of the twelve hours every day.

When asked where she spent the remaining five hours, she said of course she spent them sleeping and going to the bathroom.

What’s true is that she is not allowed to leave for three meals a day.

Whenever Mo Xinglan had something to do, he would treat her like a maid, and when he had nothing to do, he would read books or refine elixirs by himself.

This was the most boring time for Chujiu. She could neither understand nor help, so she had to stay aside and meditate and practice.

Each time she meditated, it would take her about two hours. During this time, Mo Xinglan was the quietest and would not let her do anything or say anything. And every time she finished meditating, he would know.

Of course, she would also find time to ask some questions about cultivation, and he would always be able to answer her.

Chujiu had already regarded Mo Xinglan as an encyclopedia in his heart.

But she would often complain because she had to stay in several rooms every day and was treated like a maid.

Unable to resist the urge to go out and play, she always tried to sneak away, but in the end he would find her and catch her back.

After that, Chujiu would sit aside angrily and ignore him. When he asked her to get something, she would just pretend she didn't hear him.

As long as she is not far from him, he will sometimes do it himself. If she is far away and she is really angry, he will look at her with grievance. At this time, Chujiu always feels like she has abused him, feels guilty, and is very reluctant to help him or forgive him.

That day, Chujiu had another argument with Chu Furong because he wanted to go out with her, and then neither of them paid any attention to each other.

One was sitting on a chair next to the table, refining elixirs, and the other was sitting by the door, playing with his fingers.

At this moment, Mo Xinglan had finished refining the elixir. He felt a little tired and wanted to lie down on the bed to rest for a while. He turned his head to look at her: "Come and help me."

"..." She didn't move, as if she didn't hear anything, and didn't even look at him.

This time she would not give in to him no matter what he said, otherwise he would go too far. Black-hearted evildoers should not be spoiled.

Seeing that she didn't respond, he held his forehead, rubbed his eyebrows tiredly, looked at her and said with a wronged tone: "Jiuer, I'm tired."

She then looked at him, but did not take any further action. She stared at him with displeasure: "Since you are tired, then go lie down on the bed."

Humph! Do you still want her to forgive him using the same method? She has been deceived by him so many times, she will not be fooled again.

I don't know what went wrong with him today, he actually came down from the bed to refine the elixir. He couldn't even walk conveniently, but he still insisted on being strong.

Are you tired now? Just walk back by yourself. If you don't teach her a lesson, do you really think she's easy to fool?

"..." He looked at her aggrievedly, waiting for her to come and help him.

The four looked at each other, one glared with displeasure, the other looked at him with grievance.

After a while, seeing that she still didn't move, he knew that this time she was really going to fight him to the end.

He lowered his eyes and stopped pretending. He looked at the refined elixirs on the table, took out a few boxes and packed them in different categories, and then put the herbs on the table into the storage ring.

After finishing everything, I held my head which felt a little dizzy.

He sat on the chair and rested for a while before leaning on the table and walking towards the bed while covering his wound.

Chujiu placed her hands on her legs, tightly grasping the hem of her skirt, and stared at him with a hint of worry in her eyes.

She wanted to go over to help him, but if she went over to help him so easily, it would make her look stupid and embarrassing.

Seeing him take a few steps, she stood up unconsciously and stared at him nervously.

Mo Xinglan saw her movements out of the corner of his eye, and the corners of his mouth inadvertently rose slightly.

She was still worried about him.

After walking a few steps, he felt dizzy. He frowned slightly, stopped and held his forehead, and his body swayed.

"Be careful!" Chujiu shouted in panic and ran up to hold him.

He breathed a sigh of relief, looked up and asked worriedly, "How is it?"

He hesitated for a moment, then relaxed his brows, lowered his eyes and smiled at her: "...It's okay."

“……” She naturally didn’t believe his answer.

When I saw the cold sweat on his pale forehead, I frowned slightly and knew that he was holding on.

So he slowly walked to the bed and helped him lie down on the bed.

She picked up a stool and sat at the head of the bed, looking at him, and said firmly: "I want to go out."

She must go out today no matter what.

Seeing that she looked like she would keep talking unless he agreed to her words, he looked at her for a long time and finally sighed.

He turned sideways, leaving his back to her, hesitated for a few seconds before closing his eyes, and said softly with a hint of fatigue: "Yeah."

Chujiu was stunned for a moment, thinking he had heard wrongly: "You... agreed?"

“……”Mo Xinglan closed his eyes and said nothing.

"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your consent." She stood up and walked tentatively towards the door, "I'm leaving."

“……” But he still didn’t respond.

Chujiu thought he was asleep, so he tiptoed out of the room.

……

Chujiu walked beside Chu Furong, looking around.

There was an auction at Baiyaotang today, and I heard that the last item was a ninth-grade elixir. Many people came to Baiyaotang because of the ninth-grade elixir.

At this time, Baiyaotang was already crowded. Chujiu and Chu Furong also came to Baiyaotang, and with them was a friend of Chu Furong who she had just met on the street, named Li Lingling.

She was about the same age as Chu Furong, and she was lively and open-minded and dared to say anything. So Chu Jiu could clearly sense her hostility towards him.

The reason why she was so hostile towards him was probably because of the original owner's trouble-making nature.

Li Lingling took Chu Furong's arms with both hands and pulled her towards Baiyaotang like a good sister, leaving Chujiu alone following behind.

Chujiu pursed his lips and followed him in. Although he looked indifferent, he had rolled his eyes countless times in his heart.

If she had known that she would meet Chu Furong's acquaintances, she would not have come. Wouldn't it be better to stay in the inn and listen to the black-hearted monster? She had to come out to see other people's faces.

Chujiu followed the two of them and found a seat to sit down.

After the auctioneer's opening remarks, the fierce auction began.

It was Chujiu's first time to attend an auction, and it was also her first time to see such a scene, so she was so excited. However, in order to maintain her image, she did not show it, but when she saw the fierce bidding, her eyes flickered back and forth between those people.

There were quite a few items up for auction, including martial arts techniques, formation diagrams, spiritual weapons, eighth and ninth grade elixirs, and high-level spiritual medicines.

Chujiu was not interested in techniques and formations. As for elixirs, she had seen and heard a lot of them while staying with Mo Xinglan, so when she saw those eighth-grade elixirs being auctioned, she didn't think they were that great.

But she didn't think that rare things were priceless in the eyes of others. Every time she saw those people's surprised expressions, she couldn't help but complain in her heart.
