Chapter 37: A Cold and Awkward Scene

“The poisonous snake is in your hands, right?”

When Yu Shuya heard the old man’s words, she hurriedly took out the poisonous snake coiled around her wrist.

When the poisonous snake saw that the person standing in front of him was an old acquaintance, Old Master Wang, it raised its head and wagged its tail as a greeting. Then, it immediately lowered its head again.

“I’m sorry, Old Master. I don’t know why the poisonous snake keeps pestering me.”

Yu Shuya knew that her words were hateful and had the intention of declaring her independence.

However, her words were the truth. Since last night, she and Ye Yuxuan had tried many methods, but the poisonous snake refused to get off her body.

“Ungrateful wretch.”

Sure enough, as soon as Yu Shuya said those words, Old Master Wang gave her a cold stare.

Although the cold eyes and scolding were targeted at her pet, Yu Shuya really did not know how to respond to his words.

She could not agree with him, nor could she refute him. No matter what she said, it would cause the old man to scold her again.

Sigh, thinking about how she, Yu Shuya, had always been praised as the best at talking and responding, it seemed that she had never met an opponent before.

The scene was awkward, cold and awkward. Yu Shuya could only stand in front of Master Wang and giggle foolishly.

It was better to be a fool. She did not know if such words could make the old man less angry.

“Master, this is the fire lingzhi that I found. I want to give it to you as a welcome gift.”

Ye Yuxuan also heard the ungrateful words. He understood his master and knew that his master was actually not scolding Yu Shuya but somebody else. In reality, he was the one who was being scolded.

He had no choice but to take out the fire lingzhi first.

Although he knew that his master did not lack this thing, it was the only thing that Yu Shuya had that was slightly valuable. It was a small gift given with a deep goodwill. He hoped that his master could see Yu Shuya’s sincerity.

However, when Old Master Wang saw the fire lingzhi that was completely red and lustrous, he let out a cold smile.

“She’s just a poor girl from the countryside. It seems like she has a lot to ask for by taking such a valuable thing as a welcome gift.”

Uh, this was very awkward.

Although it was said to be a welcome gift, Yu Shuya really came with a begging attitude.

What she wanted was for this old man to quickly and immediately cure her heart disease.

But after her thoughts were directly exposed, Yu Shuya’s begging words rolled around in her mouth a few times, but she did not say it out loud.

This old man should be labelled as bad-tempered, vicious-mouthed and narrow-minded.

“Haha, Master Wang, This fire lingzhi is my gift to you as a way of saying thank you.”

The old man turned his head to look at Yu Shuya when he heard her.

“What thank you?”

Yu Shuya did not hear the sarcasm of Old Master Wang at the moment, and she was really thankful for that.

Great, they could finally communicate normally.

As long as she was given a chance to speak normally, she did not believe that Old Master Wang would not change his opinion of her.

Yu Shuya quickly told him about the incident with the red-robed female ghost, and then emphasized that she had really asked Ye Yuxuan for help. That was why he had sneaked out of his room in the middle of the night and ran all the way to look for her.

Old Master Wang and Ye Yuxuan seldom talked, so Yu Shuya was the one who kept talking the whole time.

She was alone in the middle of the room, showing the two men how dangerous the scene was at that time, and how she had narrowly escaped death time and time again. She did not feel awkward at all.

Sure enough, after listening to Yu Shuya’s story, Old Master Wang’s expression became a little better.

In any case, although his disciple ran out to help in the middle of the night without telling him, there was a reason for it.
