Chapter 162: Where There Is a Master, There Are Disciples [Fourth Update!]
With a soft call from Yue Lingxue, an old man floated down like a cloud in front of her. Before she could say anything, he was already fuming with anger: “I saw you talking to that person on the boat!”
“That person?” Yue Lingxue was taken aback. “That young man?”
“Exactly!” Ning Tianya nodded vigorously. “That bastard was holding a little girl in his arms; did you see that?”
Yue Lingxue was completely confused. “What’s wrong?”
“That little girl, who is she to him?” Ning Tianya gritted his teeth. “Did you ask?”
“That’s his sister! What’s wrong?” Yue Lingxue felt that Ning Tianya had completely lost his mind; he was making her dizzy with his words.
“Sister?” Ning Tianya frowned. “Are you sure?”
Yue Lingxue was furious. “Do you think I can’t tell the bloodline fluctuations of my own family? Is it fun to lie to you?”
“So she is his sister…” Ning Tianya rubbed his hands together, chuckling, “Hehe, this is going to be interesting.”
Yue Lingxue raised an eyebrow. “What is wrong with you, Ning Tianya?”
Ning Tianya sighed. “It’s a long story.”
Yue Lingxue snorted. “You’re really lazy; you can’t even catch a few bone-free blood fish without asking me for help…”
Ning Tianya rubbed his hands together. “Just bring them out. We’ll split them half and half when we meet.”
Yue Lingxue raised a finger. “Wait; I’ll give you your share, but you have to understand, this time, I want more than half! You can only take a small portion.”
Ning Tianya jumped up. “Why should I?!”
“Because I’m the one making the effort, not you!” Yue Lingxue glared at him. “What, are you not satisfied? Let me tell you, if you’re not happy, we can fight again, but then you won’t get any.”
“Fine, a small portion it is.” Ning Tianya yielded. “Even a small portion is still one hundred fifty thousand fish…”
Yue Lingxue was furious. “Ning Tianya! You’re counting them one by one… just standing by and not doing anything!”
Ning Tianya sighed. “I have my reasons…”
Yue Lingxue was so angry she couldn’t speak; she took out the Spirit-Absorbing Sacred Fish and said, “Here you go.”
Ning Tianya shamelessly said, “You might as well give me this ring too; my disciple still needs a storage ring.”
Yue Lingxue was infuriated. “Your disciple needs one? My disciple needs one too! Do you want these fish or not? If you do, take them; if not, get lost!”
“You’re really rude.” Ning Tianya rolled his eyes but still accepted the fish, stuffing them into his storage ring. He then casually grabbed a piece of Amethyst essence jade pendant from Yue Lingxue’s waist and said, “You can give me this too; I’ll let my disciple play with it.”
Before Yue Lingxue could react, it was already in his pocket.
Yue Lingxue’s handsome face turned red with anger. “You!”
Ning Tianya clapped his hands and laughed. “Hahaha… look at you, Little White Face, getting so angry. I told you not to keep that Little White Face look; it’s not good.”
“Ning Tianya, your cultivation level isn’t number one in the world, but your shamelessness is truly unrivaled!” Yue Lingxue said, taking a deep breath.
He knew that once the jade pendant was in Ning Tianya’s hands, it would be like a meat bun falling into a dog’s den—impossible to get back.
He could only lament his misfortune: why didn’t he take precautions when he met this old bastard?
“Having thick skin is also a kind of cultivation,” Ning Tianya chuckled. “I’ve been with Bu Liqing lately, and my skin has thickened from him.”
“Have you got it?” Yue Lingxue said impatiently. “If you have it, give me a reason. Why didn’t you take action yourself?”
Ning Tianya sighed. “It’s not that I didn’t want to take action; you saw that young man, right? The one in black, holding the little girl…”
Yue Lingxue said, “I saw him; what about it? That’s his sister!”
