Chapter 60 So That's How It Is
Chapter 60 So That's How It Is
Is she considering putting on a play?
As Xia Mo looked up slightly, her clear, bright gaze met Ma Yiyi's, who was peering out from a private room on the second floor across the street.
On the screen in front of Ma Yiyi, bullet comments kept scrolling by, flowing at a speed like a waterfall, as if they were washing over the screen.
If Xia Mo hadn't used his divine sense to see, it would have been difficult to catch what was being said in the comments.
Danmaku (bullet comments) - One Finger Points to Heaven and Earth says: Haha, streamer, you went to see Wei Zhishu earlier, but Wei Zhishu refused to let you in. As a result, Wei Zhishu came to see Xia Mo instead.
Comment from a user on "Stay-at-Home World View": "You're hilarious that you're the one who saved your life but still can't get the person in charge's affections, hehe..."
……
Ma Yiyi is being "poisoned" by the barrage of comments on the screen, but she doesn't resent those who are making sarcastic remarks.
In Ma Yiyi's opinion, the comments on the bullet screen were harsh, but they were true.
Ma Yiyi glared angrily and hatefully at Xia Mo, her mind filled with thoughts of: If only Xia Mo could die, then she wouldn't have to endure those verbal attacks anymore...
Xia Mo withdrew her gaze, allowing only her divine sense to continue observing Ma Yiyi.
She has made up her mind.
“The inn is always busy, it’s so inconvenient. I have a spare house in Anping County, do you want to stay there?” Wei Zhishu said.
Wei Zhishu looked sincerely at Xia's mother, but couldn't help but steal glances at Xia Mo, wanting to see Xia Mo's reaction.
Ma Yiyi, who was in a private room on the second floor of the restaurant across the street, took in Wei Zhishu's humble demeanor. She clenched the handkerchief in her hand and tore it forcefully, as if she were tearing at the end of summer.
Xia Mo hid behind her mother, refusing to let anyone see.
Wei Zhishu couldn't see it, and his heart itched even more.
“No need,” Xia’s mother said, her breath caught in her throat. She hurriedly shook her head and waved her hands, her eyes filled with fear as she looked at Wei Zhishu.
Xia Mo tugged at the hem of Xia's mother's clothes.
Xia's mother felt the small hand behind her back and immediately stood up straight. She was a mother, and she had to protect her child!
“We’re fine staying at the inn; it’s convenient,” Xia’s mother said again, firmly declining the offer.
Wei Zhishu's smile was about to crumble, and his gaze toward Xia's mother was filled with scrutiny.
Watching Wei Zhishu's changing expression from a private room on the second floor of the restaurant diagonally opposite, Ma Yiyi sneered and muttered, "What's the use of being good-looking? When facing someone in a higher position, isn't he just someone to be manipulated?"
Although Xia Moren was behind Xia's mother, her divine sense took in the changes in Wei Zhishu and Ma Yiyi.
Xia Mo sneered inwardly. Was this a case of trying to seize something after failing to appease them?
And then there's Ma Yiyi, even more ridiculous. Does she really think that power is above absolute strength?
Xia Mo strode up to her mother, her eyes fixed firmly on her, revealing a look that said she would fight to the death if Wei Zhishu dared to harm her mother.
Wei Zhishu felt a sharp pain in his heart. He reached out and covered his aching chest, saying, "I just wanted to arrange more comfortable accommodations for you, that's all."
Xia Mo first probed Wei Zhishu's heart with her ethereal divine sense, then solidified that small piece of divine sense into a fine needle and stabbed Wei Zhishu's heart, causing Wei Zhishu to feel real heart pain.
Wei Zhishu mistakenly believed that he felt heartbroken because he saw Xia Mo looking like she was about to fight him to the death.
Xia's mother, second brother, and third brother secretly breathed a sigh of relief. As long as Wei Zhishu didn't try to force them, there was still room for maneuver.
Inside a private room on the second floor across the street...
Ma Yiyi looked at Wei Zhishu and saw that he actually... showed a look of heartache because of Xia Mo's expression! She felt a stinging pain and discomfort, gritted her teeth, and was so angry that she almost vomited blood.
Ma Yiyi unconsciously kept muttering to herself, "Why doesn't Xia Mo die? Why doesn't Xia Mo die! Why does Xia Mo always manage to escape death..."
On the screen in front of Ma Yiyi, there were also pop-up windows explaining to her.
The commenter, "Heaven's Injustice is Unfair," said: "Who told her to have the protection of Heaven's fortune, while you don't? She can only truly die if she completely loses all the Heaven's fortune."
Xia Mo, who received the message with her divine sense, sneered inwardly. So that's how it is.
At the entrance of the restaurant...
"No need, we're perfectly fine staying at the inn," Xia Mo said, suppressing her aura and adopting a cold demeanor.
"Ah? Oh...oh," Wei Zhishu's eyes showed undisguised disappointment. Looking at Xia Mo, he said, "If you need anything, you can come to the Wei residence to find me. I will definitely help if I can."
Wei Zhishu left after saying this, turning away reluctantly. He couldn't help but look back at Xia Mo one last time before slowly walking forward, his pace as slow as a tortoise's crawl.
Wei Zhishu simply wanted Xia Mo or anyone from the Xia family to speak up and persuade him to stay.
Wei Zhishu was destined to be disappointed. Xia's mother, second brother, and third brother had no good feelings towards anyone who wanted to covet their little sister!
Xia's mother and the others just wanted Wei Zhishu to disappear from their sight as soon as possible.
The way Wei Zhishu moved so slowly pierced Ma Yiyi's eyes.
Ma Yiyi ignored Wei Zhishu and stared intently at Xia Mo.
Xia Mo sneered inwardly as she withdrew her divine sense that had remained beside Ma Yiyi.
Xia's mother took Xia Mo's hand and urged, "Let's hurry up."
Before they knew it, a crowd had gathered at the restaurant entrance, all staring curiously at Xia Mo's face covered by a face mask. Their gazes seemed to want to see right through the mask to Xia Mo's face.
What kind of handsome face could possibly have captivated such a powerful young man?
Just then, Xia Mo looked up as if sensing something, a sharp glint flashing in her eyes. She looked into the distance and met Jiang Feng's gaze, who was secretly watching.
Jiang Feng, who was concealing his presence, was shocked: "..."
Jiang Feng was certain that his ability to hide in secret was very strong, making him the most capable person by his master's side. This was one of the reasons why his master kept him by his side. But now... his confidence was wavering.
Xia Mo was just a simple peasant girl from the countryside with little experience, yet she managed to spot him! When did his ability to hide become so bad?
Xia Mo withdrew his gaze, his divine sense instantly expanding to cover the entire Anping County. In just a moment, he quickly gathered information and then withdrew his divine sense.
She thought: If Huangfu Qian's personal guard is here, then where is Huangfu Qian?
The information she received through her divine sense told her that Huangfu Qian was currently with the fake expert.
Is this Huangfu Qian's second visit to the fake expert?
Why did Huangfu Qianhui stay in Anping County? Was it because of the fake master?
At this moment, Huangfu Qian was turned away by the fake expert for the second time.
Is this fake expert trying to play the "three visits to the thatched cottage" game again?
Xia Mo's divine sense condensed into fine threads, probing out, extending, and quickly sweeping across the courtyard where the fake master lived.
Huangfu Qian sensed Xia Mo's divine sense as soon as it reached the courtyard where the fake master was renting.
The fake expert was right there in the courtyard, being spied on by Xia Mo's divine sense, but he was completely unaware of it.
