Lin Feng clapped his hands and looked at her with a grin.
He couldn’t stand the stares of the passersby either and was happy to set her down.
Hearing this, the veins on Zhu Zhuqing’s forehead throbbed.
“I’m not your disciple.
I haven’t agreed to it yet!”
Lin Feng curled his lip indifferently.
“Have you forgotten something?
Does it matter whether you agree or not?
It doesn’t change the established fact…”
He changed his tone, speaking with a punchable sense of smugness.
“Heh, you should be secretly laughing for being able to become my disciple.
Countless people cry and scream wanting to become my student, but I don’t even care to take them in.”
Zhu Zhuqing silently rolled her eyes in her heart: ‘This man’s skin is as thick as a city wall, and his narcissism knows no bounds!’
‘If he said he wanted to pursue her, it would sound a hundred times more reliable than this master-disciple thing.’
‘Wait, why would I have such a thought?’
She took a deep breath and explained again, “I came here to find someone, and I have many things of my own to do.
I can’t be your disciple.
I’m truly sorry…!”
Lin Feng chuckled, his expression knowing.
He naturally knew who she was looking for, but it wasn’t convenient to point it out directly.
“Oh?
Disciple, could it be you’ve traveled thousands of miles to find your lover?”
He looked at her mischievously.
“I say, at such a young age, instead of thinking about how to get stronger with your great talent, you’re only thinking about romance?”
Zhu Zhuqing was choked up, momentarily speechless.
Although these words were unpleasant, they seemed to hit close to home?
No!
She was indeed looking for someone, but she was looking for her fiancé, not some ‘lover.’
And it was for survival and revenge, not for romance!
“Don’t talk nonsense!
I’m not!” she retorted, somewhat flustered.
Lin Feng couldn’t be bothered to argue with her and waved his hand impatiently.
“Fine, fine, no need to explain to me.
It’s almost dark, and after traveling for so long, I’m starving.”
“Let’s hurry and find a place to eat, then a place to rest.”
He added, “Do you have any money on you?
This meal is on you.”
Zhu Zhuqing was speechless again, feeling like she had punched a ball of cotton.
Speaking of treating him, she did have some gold coins left, but why should she be the one to pay?
Just as she was about to retort, she suddenly realized that the wounds on her body, which had been unbearably painful, no longer felt even a hint of pain.
She subconsciously looked down to check her arm; the scars had almost completely vanished.
A spark of brightness appeared in her eyes as she looked at Lin Feng with surprise and gratitude.
“Um, you were the one who treated me, right?
Thank you…”
“Don’t mention it.”
Lin Feng waved his hand.
“You’re my disciple; it’s only natural for me to treat you.”
Zhu Zhuqing opened her mouth but swallowed her rebuttal.
‘Forget it, arguing with this man is a pure waste of breath; he simply doesn’t listen.’
“What do you want to eat?
I’ll treat you then.”
“Whatever, I’m not a picky eater.”
Lin Feng immediately replied, looking like he was easy to please.
“I’ll eat whatever you treat me to.”
Zhu Zhuqing nodded silently and said no more.
The two of them found a restaurant in the city that looked clean and decent and walked inside.
After devouring the food like a whirlwind, they were full.
Zhu Zhuqing looked at the way Lin Feng ate; how did he look like a teacher at all?
‘And he wants to take me as a disciple?
It seems a bit unreliable.’
Following their previous plan, the two continued to look for a place to stay.
Whether guided by fate or not, they unknowingly walked to the entrance of the Rose Hotel.
Lin Feng’s eyes lit up.
Seeing the name, he made up his mind—they would stay here!
He had long been curious about this place.
In recent years, he had lived in seclusion, focusing on his cultivation, and this was his first time in Soto City.
He excitedly pointed to the uniquely decorated hotel.
“This place looks pretty good, let’s stay here!”
Zhu Zhuqing looked in the direction he pointed, her footsteps suddenly halting as a blush crept onto her cheeks.
She was secretly annoyed: ‘Is this guy doing this on purpose?
Can’t he tell this is a couples’ hotel?’
“No, let’s find another one.
This is…!” she tried to explain.
“Why change?
It’s too much trouble.
This is the place!”
Lin Feng waved his hand, then seemed to remember something and added, “Oh, and you’re still treating…”
Zhu Zhuqing’s cat-like eyes instantly widened.
Why was she the one paying again?
Only she knew that her travel funds were running low; if she kept spending like this, she might run out of money even for the academy’s registration fee.
Lin Feng walked a few steps forward and, realizing she hadn’t followed, turned back to urge her:
“Let’s go?
Why are you dazed?
What, are you worried about the gold coins?”
His eyes darted around as he intentionally sighed.
“Sigh, fine, forget it then.
You go find a hotel for yourself, and as for me…
I can just make do with a street corner for the night.”
There was a hint of pitiableness in his tone.
These words made Zhu Zhuqing’s face burn with shame, making her sound like a heartless person.
She bit her lower lip and squeezed her deflated coin pouch.
This man’s words were truly infuriating, a total waste of such a handsome face.
Ultimately, she reached out and grabbed the corner of Lin Feng’s clothes, dragging him toward the hotel entrance in silence.
Just as they reached the entrance, a striking sign caught their eye:
“Couples’ stay, 20% discount!”
Seeing this, Lin Feng was delighted.
He leaned in close to Zhu Zhuqing and teased in a low voice:
“Hey, see that?
20% off for couples!
How about we put on an act?
Just pretend?”
The word ‘No’ almost burst from Zhu Zhuqing’s lips, but thinking of the few pitiful gold coins clinking in her pouch, the refusal rolled around her tongue before she swallowed it back down.
She even began to seriously suspect if this man had been planning to take advantage of her from the very beginning…
“Hey!”
Zhu Zhuqing suddenly stopped, sounding a bit annoyed and embarrassed.
“You…
you haven’t told me your name yet!”
Lin Feng was stunned, only then realizing…
Right, he knew she was Zhu Zhuqing, but she knew nothing about him!
This was purely an oversight caused by the familiarity in his subconscious.
“Look at my memory!”
He slapped his forehead.
“My name is Lin Feng.”
“I…
my name is Zhu Zhuqing,” she responded softly.
“Oh~ Alright, disciple.
Everything’s clear now, let’s go get a room!”
Lin Feng gave a big yawn.
“I just want to sleep like the dead right now.
I’m exhausted.”
This wasn’t a lie; he really hadn’t closed his eyes for several days…!
As the two of them arrived at the front desk to check in, Zhu Zhuqing belatedly realized a problem.
While pretending to be a couple for the discount was one thing, it meant they could only get one room…!
This was truly a difficult situation to back out of…!
She turned her head and stared at Lin Feng with her cat-like eyes full of resentment.
Are we getting this room or not…!
The receptionist provided an assist with a professional, sweet smile: “Are you two distinguished guests looking for accommodation?
We’re currently offering a 20% discount for couples.
May I ask if you two are a couple?”
