Mu Ke complained to himself, but didn’t say it aloud. Anyway, since Yu Mixi wasn’t mad, it was already the best result. There was no need for them to talk about it.
“Well, I wasn’t really mad, because you’ve done nothing wrong. It’s the girl’s fault. She should be aware that you already have a girlfriend, but she still confessed to you. I know you’re innocent. I just couldn’t help getting upset for a while,” said Yu Mixi.
She understood that she shouldn’t be mad at Mu Ke, but sometimes it was hard to control her emotions. Besides, people lose their reason in love!
“I know,” said Mu Ke, then held Yu Mixi’s hand. Looking at Yu Mixi, he said seriously, “It’s still my fault that your mood was affected by the girl. But I can’t stop other girls from confessing to me. It’s their own actions. All I can do is reject them. Mixi, I promise you’re the only girl I sincerely like. I love you.”
“Alright, I trust you. Stop it now.” Yu Mixi seemed to disdain his words, but she was full of happiness.
It was dark now, but it was only 8 pm, so it was still early. Therefore the two of them had a walk in the small forest hand in hand.
There were many couples in their university, so many couples were walking in the small forest.
…
When Gu Ning got back to the siheyuan, everyone was chatting casually in the living room, so Gu Ning joined them.
“Um, Junior Gu, the New Year festival is over now. Can you arrange a job for us to do?” Si Jin asked Gu Ning with slight embarrassment, because Gu Ning told them that she would arrange for them to do a job and learn how to drive after the New Year festival.
They weren’t in a rush to make money, but they felt that they should do something after staying here for such a long time.
Gu Ning hadn’t forgotten about it, and decided to make the arrangement soon.
“Sure, I’ll arrange for you to do a job tomorrow. You can join my company first. Before you carry out tasks, you need to receive training to become qualified bodyguards. At the beginning, you two will work separately. You’ll learn from experienced colleagues. When you’re good enough to do a task on your own, you can work together then. But there aren’t always tasks every day, so you can learn how to drive when you’re free,” said Gu Ning.
“Great, thank you so much, Junior Gu.” Jiang Liluo and Si Jin nodded.
“Well, you two have only stayed with me for a while, but you already can’t wait to go out to work. I’ll be alone again,” said Shangguan Yang in a sad tone, as if he was bei g abandoned.
However, he was just saying that, because they couldn’t wander around forever.
“We’ve done nothing during this time, and we’re getting lazy. If we have time, we’ll come back and keep your company after work,” said Si Jin to comfort Shangguan Yang.
“Right, Uncle Shangguan, I’m sure you don’t want us to be useless, right?” Jiang Liluo said.
“Alright, alright, I know you have a bunch of reasons,” said Shangguan Yang unhappily. In fact, he was so used to them being with him recently, that he’d feel a little lonely if they suddenly left for work.
He had been alone for hundreds of years, and never felt lonely before. However, after living in the mortal world for a while, he started to change. He didn’t want to be alone any longer.
“Master Shangguan, when did you start to hate being alone?” Gu Ning joked.
“It’s all because of you. I used to be alone every day and never felt bored, but now I can’t stand it when I’m left alone at home,” said Shangguan Yang, feeling upset.
“We’re only absent for a few days! You can go out and have fun with your old pals. Don’t you have many old friends? We’ll come back after we’re done with our job. You won’t be alone,” said Gu Ning.
“You’re a liar! You’re the one who’s absent for most of the time. Shaoting isn’t in the capital because of his job. But you’re in the capital, yet you rarely come back. I sometimes even wonder whether you’ve forgotten me.” Shangguan Yang criticized Gu Ning in annoyance. He knew that Gu Ning was occupied with work and study, but he was unhappy that he was being ignored.
Gu Ning felt slightly guilty and rubbed her nose. “Well, I have a lot of things to do. I’ll visit you more often in the future. Please don’t blame me.”
“Did I blame you? Did I? I’m not an unreasonable master.” Shangguan Yang denied it emotionally. It seemed as if he was wronged.
Although he had no intention to blame Gu Ning, what he just said implied that he was unhappy. Therefore, he wasn’t being honest with his feelings.
“No, no, you didn’t.” Gu Ning was amused by his reaction and dropped the topic.
“Oh, I met my cultivator friend, Baili Zongxue, at Qianling Mountain today. She showed me the house Uncle Jing built for Master Shangguan. It’s almost done. I have some photos of it. Although there is only a gate in the pictures, it looks grand,” said Gu Ning, taking out her phone. Then she showed the others the photos Baili Zongxue sent her.
When Shangguan Yang and Jing Yunyao saw Jing Jining’s back, they recognized him with a glance. However, they didn’t know that Jing Jining was forbidden to leave the cultivation world and couldn’t go out.
After looking at the photos, Shangguan Yang was very satisfied. Although he had a low standard for his residence, he was excited to see such a beautiful house.
“Oh, Master Shangguan, if you’re bored, why don’t you visit the cultivation world? How about we have a tour there tomorrow? I can settle Senior Jiang and Senior Si’s job tomorrow morning. Then I’ll come back for a meal at noon, and we can go to the cultivation world together,” said Gu Ning. She didn’t have any premonition, it was only a sudden idea.
“Great, we can visit it tomorrow afternoon.” Shangguan Yang agreed.
Since they already built a house in the cultivation world and decided to live there in the future, they should naturally visit there more often and get familiar with people in Tiandaozong.
Only Shangguan Yang and Gu Ning needed to go, because it wasn’t time for Jing Yunyao to take revenge yet. She wouldn’t go with them.
Knowing that Shangguan Yang and Gu Ning would visit the cultivation world, Jing Yunyao wanted to go there too, but it wasn’t the right time.
She had to be patient. Anyway, they could soon take revenge in the cultivation world.
