275 : Seductiveness & Fickleness

Chapter 275

Seductiveness and Fickleness
Translated by Kollumceti of Exiled Rebel Scanlations

When he walked into the courtyard, You XiaoMo subconsciously looked inside. Discovering that the old geezer was not around, he heaved a little sigh of relief. After the past few days, he had managed to come upon a small difference between the two personalities.

The first personality tended to wake up later in the mornings. When he came over, he usually found that the old geezer was still asleep in his room. The second personality was more troublesome. He was usually awake before You XiaoMo arrived, and he spent most of his time in the Pill Refining Room or the magic herb field.

However, You XiaoMo did not show his relief too clearly when he discovered the old geezer was not there, as Teng ZiXin was still behind him.

Not seeing the old geezer at the magic herb field, You XiaoMo directly headed towards the Pill Refining Room. To his surprise, Teng ZiXin and her companion also followed him. The two also seemed to be headed to the Pill Refining Room to look for the old geezer.

You XiaoMo gave a discreet frown. To tell the truth, to have a person who he hated and also hated him back, walking at his back was very weird. It made him feel as if a viper was staring at him.

When he reached the Pill Refining Room, You XiaoMo did not even knock before walking in.

He did not notice that for a moment, Teng ZiXin and her companion who were walking behind stared at him in surprise with bulging eyes.

After walking inside, You XiaoMo saw the old geezer standing in front of a jade cabinet to select magic herbs and shouted, “Shifu, I’m here.”

The old geezer turned back and shot him a glance. You XiaoMo immediately knew it was the second personality. If it was the first personality, he would definitely have responded to his sentence with a smile.

“Bring over the magic herbs on the shelf.” The old geezer paused for a moment before he spoke.

You XiaoMo immediately carried the magic herbs to him.

At this moment, a knock sounded on the door. Teng ZiXin’s soft voice was heard, “Shigong, I am Teng ZiXin. May I enter?”

Hearing this, the old geezer glanced at You XiaoMo, and then he said, “Come in.”

You XiaoMo rubbed his nose while feeling a little guilty.

He was aware that did not knock when he came in just now. However, when he had tried to be polite several times before, he would always be scolded in the end. Afterwards, when he tried entering without knocking, the old geezer did not say anything, and he had even expressed acquiescence to his behavior. At that time, You XiaoMo had guessed that the old geezer probably did not like people who procrastinated.

The old geezer gave Teng ZiXin a brief look, and coldly asked, “What?”

Teng ZiXin had a very respectful attitude, and did not have her usual haughty demeanor, “Previously, Shigong permitted this disciple to stay in the study for two days every month. This disciple has already learned all the materials on level six magic herbs, and wishes to enter the study today to learn about level seven magic herbs.”

The old geezer’s study was akin to a gold mine. There was such an abundant collection inside, that even Qiu Ran himself would salivate at the collection.

Although Qiu Ran was also a level ten mage, his qualifications and experience were not as high as the old geezer’s. There were some things that even Qiu Ran had not seen. As for Teng ZiXin, Qiu Ran could not possibly remain at her side forever. Thus the previous time You XiaoMo had met her on the road was also due to Teng ZiXin visiting the old geezer’s study.
